    TMR 21.7: "Taro Tsujimoto" [Same Bed Different Dreams]

    TMR 21.7: "Taro Tsujimoto" [Same Bed Different Dreams]

    The threads all come together in this week's section as the book barrels toward its conclusion. On this episode, Chad describes his visualization of the book's structure, Tim Hortons and Dunkin Donuts get crapped on, 2333 gets a new meaning, the Moonies make an appearance, as does Ronald Reagan (boo, hiss), Philip Roth, and PDK. Also, a Sleeper Awakes. Just remember, dreams are everything that's not online.

    Note: Information about the "Opening the Channel" translation and creative flow retreat being organized by former co-host Katie Whittemore discussed on this episode is available here.

    This week's music is peak TMR music times. "Tim Hortons" by Pretty Gary.

    TMR 18.3: "Why This Eternal Escaping?" [Ann Quin]

    TMR 18.3: "Why This Eternal Escaping?" [Ann Quin]

    Dead dummies, drowned tramps, resolving the Oedipal complex, the forever incompleteness of the number "3," sex, the sea, slapstick comedy, irony, competing desires of domesticity versus the desire to escape, the beautiful ending and the reverse coda, and much more is discussed on this episode covering the whole of Ann Quin's Berg. 

    Now Chad and Brian move on to Quin's second novel, Three, which came out in 1969 and, in a way, begins right where we left off, opening  "with the disappearance at sea, possibly suicide, of a young woman, identified only as S." You can get the book via And Other Stories, Bookshop, your local indie, or Amazon. This is the book that got Chad completely hooked on Quin, so read along and tune in!

    This week's music is "City of the Dead" by Superchunk.
