05.07: Bleeding Edge

In which we set out to cover chapters 16 through 18 of Thomas Pynchon’s Bleeding Edge, but only in fact get to chapters 16 and 17.

We’ll look at chapters 18 and 19 in the next episode.

Here is a little external information linking the Parable of the Coal to Gravity’s Rainbow’s Brigadier Pudding.

We’re going to take a little break for the holiday, so we’ll be back shortly after the New Year. Thanks for listening!
