TMR 27.2: "I Am the Wishing Tree" [Tomb of Sand]

Ma goes missing.

A lot of this week’s discussion is about “meeting a book where it is” and looking at the literary strategies Geetanjali Shree & Daisy Rockwell use in this book. This includes ideas of editing for different audiences, and different ways to view the first part of this long novel. There are also some jokes, a lengthy bit about audiobook narration, and more!

This week’s music is “Possession” by Ty Segall.
