Join us this week for a discussion of Sigrid Nunez's National Book Award Winning novel The Friend. In some ways it was a little too real for our real life events, and in others it wasn't quite real enough. This episode contains more expletives than normal.

Next time we will be discussing Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss. Read along with us!

We're back talking about our boy Bret Easton Ellis and a baffling/hilarious interview he did with the New Yorker. And we know you've been waiting for nearly three months as we finally respond to the Marie Kondo book drama.
