Michael and Ethan begin their discussion of Nobber, by Oisin Fagan, while drinking The Midnight Silkie (Michael) and Red Locks (Ethan) Irish whiskeys.

In this episode:

The question and the answer is “WTF?”

Bafflement loves company

Nihilism (question mark?)

Plague books

Michael says “plague-ground” and Ethan completely fails to call him on it

Very relevant and very pointed

Acquisitiveness so strong it breaks the fourth wall

A clumsy trap for Michael

Bestiality!

Scientific reasons are sometimes bestial, and bestial reasons are sometimes scientific

Is this book trying to make us, the reader, into the Christ figure?

Alchemical hermaphrodite, a possibly or possibly-not Ethan-only joint

Nebuchadnezzar!

Dueling heresies/heresies all the way down
