The Highbrarians

Episode 9: World, Chase Me Down

Listen Later

Welcome to the Highbrary. We are your Highbrarians. Today we cover “World Chase Me Down” by Andrew Hilleman. This "western"(jury is still out on that descriptor) takes us through the life of real-life outlaw Pat Crowe who was committing crimes left and fucking right throughout the early 1900's in The United States, Japan, South Africa, and Mexico. Amid the aggressive time jumps in this novel, we'll get to hear Annie’s hot take on Tevas, learn some true crime facts(a little bit of kidnapping, a little bit of art history) bear witness to Indy's rating-changing realization, and discover that there are too many Vincenzos to keep track of. Just another day in the life of a Highbrarian and we'd love for you to join us. Love, Indy and Annie
