Episode 4! We’ve come so far.
Jess relishes the treasure that is The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd-Jones at a time when this story is most needed, and Vee struggles to find words even remotely adequate enough to describe the wild force that is Split Tooth by Tanya Tagaq.
We talk about stories slipping in and through myth and the understanding that stories give our own lived experiences.
Then we ramble about intentional breaks while reading, reading on a treadmill, bizarre books, well-fleshed out zombies, non-linear wibbly wobbly stories, shapeshifters, uncategorizable stories, made up words, emails from friends, and the unravelling of our very atoms that happens after a good story.
