XBook Chapter 15 - Ginger Finds That He Can Fly (Or Justifying an Alien Invasion in 1918)

BE AWARE: THERE IS GRAPHIC IMAGERY IN THIS EPISODE. AND LOTS OF STRONG LANGUAGE. 

The second act. Finally. 

This is where I really start to find that XBook hits its stride. 

What is XBook? It’s a novel that I wrote almost half my life ago. It tells the simple story of an alien invasion in 1918, just after the Great War has finished. Ginger, a fighter pilot, has many, many surreal visions. William, Supreme Leader of the Trascon race likes to talk about the history of the Trascon race. 

Afterwards, I deep dive into the chapter and analyse. At least, I try to. As I’ve been tired recently and overworked, figures from my past, and relevant to this book, have resurfaced and made their own contributions. I at least managed to catch it this time and, well, it’s not the perfect analysis, ok? 

03:46 - The chapter. 

52:02 - General Notes

53:40 - The Cutting Room Floor
