TMR 32.4: “Zounds!” [Tristram Shandy]
Brian’s off-grid, so Chad and Kaija take on Volume IV of Laurence Sterne’s The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by themselves. They start by bantering about the Nobel Prize for Literature before getting into “noses,” the metafictional games in this volume, the importance of names, whether you can get a baptismal do-over, and much more.
This week’s music is “Say My Name (Remix)” by Morgan Seatree x Florence + The Machine.
Next week’s episode will cover Volume V. If you want to follow along, the complete schedule can be found here.
