TMR 26.4: "You Can Be Very, Very Serious in a Musical" [The Golden Notebook]
Is The Golden Notebook just novels all the way down? Brian, Kaija, and Chad talk about the idea that the “Free Women” sections of the book are just another novel, that Anna Wulf is disgusted by everything and parodies it in her notebooks, about generational distrust, colors, musicals, and more. They don’t talk about how the ending of “Free Women: 2” is a perfect TV cliffhanger, leading directly into a discussion of TV adaptations . . .
This week’s music is “Drugstore Drastic” by Throwing Muses.
