TMR 26.7: "And What Is the Next Stage?" [The Golden Notebook]
In this episode, Kaija, Chad, and Brian talk about the really awful men in this book, along with fragmentation, fractals, and postmodernism talk as they struggle to remember which character is which (“is that Anna or Ella?”) and how to get a grasp on the whole of the novel. They also discuss placing things into firm categories, Jungian psychotherapy, grand narratives, and wonder: Will this novel end with a braiding together or a spinning apart?
This week’s music is “Schizophrenia” by Sonic Youth.
Next week’s episode will cover up to the start of “The Golden Notebook.”
