#130: French Fun and BookExpo

Delayed for a couple weeks due to travel and work schedules, Chad and Tom are back to talk about the inaugural Albertine Prize (won by Antoine Volodine's Bardo or Not Bardo, translated by J. T. Mahany), Houellebecq's no show, and BookExpo and the forthcoming New York Rights Fair. They also talk a bit about the Two Month Review--the new subpodcast you can find in this same feed--and Tom's forthcoming appearance on the show. There's also witty banter galore, a bit of NBA Finals talk, and more.

 

This week's music is "Unicorn Tolerance" by The Mountain Goats.
