Two Month Review

TMR 25.1: "Papa, why do we have to learn this?" [JAMES]


Listen Later

The 25th season of the Two Month Review will dive into two books related to the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, starting with Percival Everett’s highly praised, award-winning, James. This week Chad, Brian, and Kaija talk about Huck Finn, the language games in the opening chapters of the novel, discuss masks, grifters, how the two books intersect, and much more.

This week's music is "Request Denied" by El-P.

Next week we’ll cover pages 60-123 of James. You can find the complete reading schedule here.

All previous seasons of TMR are available on our YouTube channel and on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc. Please rate and review! It helps more than you know.
