CORRECTION: Throughout this podcast, we joke about having recorded the final episode of the season live at Spoonbill & Sugartown last weekend. This is a lie! The live event will take place THIS SATURDAY (September 30, 2017) as part of the Taste of Iceland events. Eliza Reid, Iceland's First Lady, will start things off at 2pm, and Lytton and I will follow her. So please ignore all our childish banter and please come out on Saturday for this live recording!
This week, Tom Flynn of Volumes Bookcafe returns to the Two Month Review to talk about three of the more difficult bits of Tómas Jónsson, Bestseller one section that's a dream, one about mediums and resurrection, and one that's a poem for going to bed and for death. Thanks to Tom's perceptive insights and Lytton's genius, they're able to puzzle out all three sections and provide some solid guidance for everyone reading along.
Feel free to comment on this episode--or on the book in general--either on this post, or at the official GoodReads Group.
