On this, the penultimate episode of the season, Kaija and Chad talk about Anna’s dissociation and dissolution, Saul Green and who he really is, narrative and societal traps, a room of one's own, and if Marion peacing out on her family makes her the most free woman in the book. They also realize mid-podcast the connection between the asterisked numbers the yellow and blue notebooks.
This week’s music is Steve Reich’s “Jacob’s Ladder: II. Vayachalom (And he dreamed)” performed by the New York Philharmonic.
