This week's podcast covers four major topics: Nobel Prize winner Patrick Modiano, Michael Henry Heim and The Man Between, the upcoming ALTA Conference, and Atavist Books. And we barely talk about sports at all! But Tom does have a "rave" that includes a a particularily confusing cover.

As always, you can write to us at [email protected] with complaints, suggestions, ideas for future episodes, or your own rants and raves.
