This time Dylan brings the coffee for Taylor. They learn the cost of ivory tusks in USD, discuss the literary decision to leave most characters unnamed, & compare the story to ancient Greek epics. Taylor reflects on the Holocaust's impact subsequent to the progress of the Insustrial Revolution. Dylan reflects on implications from the sermon on the mount in the face of corrupt authority. How do we reckon with a story where all characters are morally broken, & what do we do with our own moral failings? More pressing questions include: Are pink pajamas a good look? Is there coffee from the Congo? What flavor is bubble gum, anyway? What do John Calvin & St. Augustine have to do with this book? Taylor chooses the name for the dark roast of his future coffee shop.
