Episode notes

Kaniyas is a little less overtly for lack of a better word experimental than goon squad is. She's written a bunch of short stories and novels. Her first novel, The Invisible Circus was released in 1995. Other books of hers include a 93 short story collection called Emerald City,. It's published in 93 in the UK and I think 96 here. And then she has a book called Look at Me from 2001, The Keep from 2006., Goon Squad and then Manhattan Beach from 2017.

It only took 500-or-so episodes to revisit the world of Egan's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel A Visit from the Goon Squad. We did, of course, have to wait for Egan to write her sequel (sort of) novel. This follow-up to a post-postmodern classic is focused on memories (digital and otherwise) and relationships (virtual and otherwise). It's got "what if the Meta but for everyone's memories" okay??

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
