Harold Rogers (Tropicália) comes on to talk about his new novel, Humpty Dumpty, and Laurence Sterne’s influence on his writing. After that, the conversation turns to how best to handle marital disputes, the tragic nature of Volume VI of Tristram Shandy, the infamous line drawing and blank page, and Sterne’s sudden swerve.
This week’s music is “Literary World” by BODEGA.
Next week’s episode will cover Volume VII. If you want to follow along, the complete schedule can be found here.
