The Drunken Odyssey 
My particular favourite comment for this episode was Ms Tillman’s ‘Imperilling vison throgh incessant eye-rolling.’ I wish I’d thought of that.
Because this episode meandered a bit away from the topic of the actual book it was very enjoyable. The discussion was not so far over my head that I couldn’t follow what you were talking about, and there were even references to writers I’d heard of, like Philip Roth (who I find unreadable) and Jennifer Egan (who’s A-grade material, in that if she submitted it in a writing course, you’d give her an ‘A’).
I do enjoy these discussion ones – I’ll send you some wine for the discussion on Instagram poets 🙂
Thank you large, DJ!
