This week is a doozy as The Tsar tries to make sense of the insane, meta-physical nature that is Paul Bowles' most famous novel. The two shred into the absurdity of the plot and berate, maybe a little to much, the author's physical appearance. However, the Tsar is masterful in his illumination of the true impact of the novel and the strong impact it had on him. They also open up with a little insight into how they warm up before a podcast! Fun and insightful, this episode has it all.

Tune in every Tuesday for a new episode of The Broken Shelf.
