Episode notes

Kavina's parents were botanists and his brother was a geologist. He went to school for agriculture, but felt like the odd person out in his family. Later became an antifaciis communist himself. Was still committed to the idea of communism, but as it was being practisedn in the world he could not be behind it.

Sometimes a book is so meta it sort of breaks your brain! How to talk about a book that is all beginnings and no ends? How to discuss a book that enlists You, the Reader, in its chicanery? We try to get on the wavelength with Calvino's text. You be the judge of if we get there.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
