Sarah strongarms Amelia into reading one of her favorite books from last year, and to both their surprise Amelia liked it. This week we're talking Weird Points of View, from the plural first person of Julie Otsuka's The Buddha in the Attic to The Mountain Goats to second person novels to Sarah's dim memory of Stargate SG-1 fanfic. Also there's like. A lot of discussion of a particular regional high school challenge right at the start of the show. We have no excuse for that. It connects to nothing except in that we're channeling the spirit of a classic outside POV, Ishmael from Moby Dick, and the white whale is an illicitly acquired Philly cheesesteak. Come for the books, endure the weird Northern Virginia cultural practices.
