Episode notes

I don't know that these two characters have like distinctive enough perspectives or voices that I'm really gonna think about them a lot. They certainly seem defined by the fact that they are in an epistolary novel with the other one. Which, you know, that is an interesting book, IMO. Perhaps worthy of some awards you know. But I'll put it in a letter to you soon. So then you'll get it.

This is a twist on a time travel story where the relationship between two enemies-turned-frenemies-turned-lovers takes center stage, leaving the actual mechanics of the time travel and all the world-building mostly unexplained. The dual authorship—each author wrote the chapters for one of the two characters—adds another interesting wrinkle.
