Dear Reader

7. Blindness / Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club.


Listen Later

Emily strongly recommends an encounter with the disorienting bleakness and

collapse of Nobel Laureate José Saramago’s
Blindness, while Michael strongly recommends an
encounter with the soul-wracking cruelty and violence of Megan Gail Coles’s
Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun
Club. They talk about a relentless duty of care
forced on women, social breakdowns, Portugal, misogyny, and vulnerability.
