Episode notes

Gulliver's Travels is a wild book, my dude. He just wants to be on an island alone rather than be with people. And how could you not want to go back to the beautiful horse? Well, he just wants to, like at this point, he knows he'll never go back. I found the third part kind of going over my head because it didn't have as compelling a core relationship that we talked about in the first two parts.

Meet Gulliver, a traveling English surgeon. First he's big, then he's small. Next he's wise, then he's a Yahoo! To wit, Swift's seminal satire is realer, grosser, and really grosser than either of us knew.
