Episode notes

There are characters in the book who are like manipulated uh to get mad in in stereotypically racist ways too so like the book is aware of at times is aware of some of that racism as well. There's just a whole bunch of them living in the sky south and they live mostly in his kitchen um and they've got like i don't know some of them that i don't even i just like i have all these notes so let's okay i'm glad you gave that high-level summary because let me let me unpack a few things up front yeah i'm not covered there.

Our Patron's Choice Poll for June had a theme: Junebugs! And this novel by Weiss about a roach colony attempting to assert control over the apartment in which they live is uhh...well it won the poll. So Craig read it. And now he's going to talk about it.

Caveat lictor: this book is a strange one (also it's got more explicit sexual content than you might expect!)
