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(.)

Nobber, by Oisin Fagan, and various Irish whiskeys, part 2
Michael and Ethan continue discussing Nobber, by Oisin Fagan, while drinking The Midnight Silkie (Michael) and Red Locks (Ethan) Irish whiskeys.
In this episode:
Michael forgets, for the second time in four episodes, to call for Karen to read the rules. Rude. Good thing Karen just came in and started reading them
A real SCAREcrow, or, a murdered murder
Who is the greater fool, the fool or the fool who calls the fool a fool?
Pinning down the black box that is the murder of crows
Nobber is hell (?)
Nobber is colonialism (and colonialism is also hell, so…)
Palimpsests of colonialism, how’s that for some English-major talk?
Ethan gets to say vampire words a bunch of times
