Two Month Review

TMR 25.4: "Obvious Confidence Scheme" [James]


Listen Later

In the penultimate episode on Percival Everett's James, Chad, Kaija, and Brian discuss how unnerving Part II is to read (especially in relation to Brock), the choices that James is left with, the extended metaphor running throughout this part, the bits of humor in this book that's primarily filled with horrors, and much much more.

This week's music is "Foot on Necks" by Sault.

Next week we’ll cover part III of James and discuss the book as a whole. You can find the complete reading schedule for this season 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.
