TMR 27.6: "The Calculus Gets Scrambled" ["Tomb of Sand"]
Description
With Brian still settling in to his new digs, Chad and Kaija are left to take on the most unsettling section of Tomb of Sand so far—the death of Rosie and the discourse surrounding it. They do their best though, as the book gets very emotional, setting up Ma’s journey to Pakistan.
And stay tuned after their conversation to hear a conversation with translator and professor Jason Grunebaum about SALT, South Asian literature, narrative styles, and more!
Next week’s episode will cover up to Chapter 21 of Part III. Full schedule is available here. And you can purchase Tomb of Sand from Bookshop.org or better bookshops everywhere.
This week’s music is Banco de Gaia’s “How Much Reality Can You Take?”
