The most anxiety-filled section of James is under discussion this week, as we find out the horrific fate of Little George, and James is both beaten and then sold to a minstrel show. There are also questions raised about Huck that are quite intriguing, and a lot of masks, metaphors, and irony.

This week's music is "Ends Meet" by Panda Bear, mostly because his new album is called Sinister Grift, which is the most TMR album title imaginable.

Next week we’ll cover pages 124-185 (through the end of Part I) 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.
