TMR 26.5: "Everything Will Be As Usual, In Fact" [The Golden Notebook]
In this new episode covering up to page 352 of Doris Lessing’s The Golden Notebook, Chad, Brian, and Kaija talk about the difficulty in keeping the various characters in the various notebooks straight—especially as the novel gets more recursive and hall of mirrors-like—the play with dates in the “Blue Notebook,” existential dread, fragmentation, and the breakdown of systems, how publishing works, the French, and more.
This week’s music is “Jump Out” by Ezra Furman.
