TMR 28.5: "Is This The Start of a Cheap Romance" [Vineland]
Description
For the penultimate episode of this season, Andrew Merritt of the Life on Books podcast joined Chad and Kaija to talk about the original arrangment between Vond, Frenesi, and Zoyd, about how, once again, this book is too prophetic in delineating our current situation, about misoneism, about postpartum depression, untested forms of therapy, etc. But the highlight is probably “Pynchon Character or Baseball Player?” featuring some of the wackiest names in all of . . . baseball? Pynchon? Both?
This week’s music is “Pynchon Character or Baseball Player?,” which was fully made by AI as a joke.
Next week we’ll be talking about the final section of Vineland and will be joined by a mystery guest . . .
