2MR: Introduction!

Punctuated by toddler Isak's comments about Barney, Chad Post, Brian Wood, and Lytton Smith discuss the main motivations behind the upcoming "Two Month Review" podcasts, which will be released weekly starting in later this month, and will focus on a single book for a eight or nine week period.

 

As noted in this post, Rodrigo Fresán’s The Invented Part will be the first featured book (episodes released every Tuesday from 5/16 through 7/27), and Guðbergur Bergsson’s Tómas Jónsson, Bestseller will be the second (8/3-9/28).

 

In addition to these weekly podcasts, there is a GoodReads Group where anyone following along can post comments, questions, or other opinions.

 

Additionally, we are offering a 20% discount on orders of these two books from the Open Letter website. Just enter 2MONTH in the discount field at checkout. And since these are already back from the printer, we'll ship them out ASAP--well in advance of the official pub dates.

 

The music for the first season of Two Month Review is "Big Sky" by The Kinks.

 

As always, feel free to send any and all comments or questions to: [email protected]. Also, if there are articles you'd like us to read and analyze, send those along as well.
