TMR 27.4: "Rag-Tag Shoulder Sack-Toting Gang" [Tomb of Sand]
After a blissful, quiet time in which Ma and Rosie Bua turn junk into Etsy projects, the chaos descends on Beti’s house—and the missing Buddha is found. And then Ma falls. Brian, Chad, and Kaija talk about these plot points, the lists and verbal trills that denote Shree’s style, the sections that they struggled with, and the pleasures of letting a wild, unpredictable novel of this sort just take over.
Next week’s episode will cover up to Chapter 66 of Part II. Full schedule is available here. And you can purchase Tomb of Sand from Bookshop.org or better bookshops everywhere.
