Lecture 79: GOOD MATERIAL by DOLLY ALDERTON >> Witness Kimberly's HOTTEST TAKE since starting the podcast. She loved Alderton's book so much she couldn't help but add some out-there conjecture to her usual astute, entertaining analysis.

Listen Later

When The NY Times named Alderton's GOOD MATERIAL one of the best 10 books of 2024, Kimberly knew it was time to dig in. Listen as she deepens your understanding of the male narrative voice, the excellent figurative language, the supposed "double ending" and Alderton's CRUCIAL SUBVERSION of the marriage plot. Tune in to Kimberly's argument for why this (anti)-rom-com (?!)

Finally, DO NOT MISS Kimberly's hottest of hot takes!
