TMR 27.3: "And She Begins to Make Music" [Tomb of Sand]
This week, Chad, Brian, and Kaija discuss their various reactions to the end of Part I and opening of Part II. They also revisit the idea of “meeting a book where it is”—via a discussion of the new Superman—along with the struggle to get a holistic picture of the book’s form and intent. They also get into the tonal differences between the parts, namely the chaos of Part I and the “sunny,” more singularly focused vibes of Part II.
Next week’s episode will cover up to Chapter 45 of Part II. Full schedule is available here. And you can purchase Tomb of Sand from Bookshop.org or better bookshops…
