Michael, Ethan, and special guest Josiah discuss The Memory of Whiteness, by Kim Stanley Robinson while drinking Suntory Toki Japanese whisky.
In this episode:
The orchestra!
Lots of tree stuff, also snake stuff and lizard stuff
Curation vs collage vs other art stuff
We GOTTA talk about the metadrama
Vertumnus, by Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1591) (another trap for a date-pilled boy)
At least two topological surnames
All (or at least some) about Margaret
College is the time when men become deterministic
Margaret in this book is the scholars from Marlowe, Margaret from Goethe, Zeitblom from Mann, and also Horatio from Hamlet
Two-thirds of this podcast think the book is an anime
The score: 2 damned, 2 saved, 2 (????) (Enraging)
