On our 20th episode, Alex is joined by frequent casual academic Clay Oppenhuizen to discuss one of their favorite novels, "The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas," otherwise known as "Epitaph of a Small Winner."
While Jake is off galavanting through the icy beauty of Finnish Lapland, Clay and Alex talk about their love for Machado de Assis, its unique place in literary history and interpretation, as well as the various philosophical and literary games Machado, or in this case Brás, plays with the reader.
