TMR 24.5: "Very Charming." [Confidence-Man]
Description
[Note: If you subscribe on Apple Podcasts, please resubscribe to this feed. The other one will be going away in the near future.]
Chad, Brian, and Kaija venture into the darkness and turn off the light on Melville's The Confidence-Man: His Masquerade, one of the oddest, most slippery books to be included in the Two Month Review. They talk about transcendentalism, self-reliance, Melville's interludes, Jean Giono's Melville, and more.
And here's the "Grifters Gonna Grift" t-shirt mentioned in this episode.
Next episode will cover pages 1-61 of Rodrigo Fresán's Melvill. You can find the full reading schedule here.
This week's music is "The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness" by The National.
You can find all previous seasons of TMR on our YouTube channel and on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc. Please rate and review! It helps more than you know.
