Michael and Ethan discuss Doctor Faustus: The Life of the German Composer Adrian Leverkuhn as Told by a Friend, by Thomas Mann, while drinking Jura 10yo single malt.
In this episode:
All digressions and fallings-apart are intentionally reflective of the novel under discussion and are not us doing a bad job
Talking about books by talking about other books (aka, this is actually us reading Tristram Shandy for at least the third time)
The narrator that gets in his own way
One or more frame stories AND several meta-layers
Lots about time, WWII, Germany, time, Germans, Nazis, and time (but not a lot that’s fun to make sassy bullet points about)
In Marlowe, Faust is damned; in Goethe, Faust is saved; in Mann, Faust is(.)
