Listen "First Paragraph Special #1"
Episode Synopsis
As you wait for the discussion of The House of Special Purpose by John Boyne, we didn't want to leave you totally hanging, so here's a bonus episode, in which we break all the rules! Rather than read and discuss a whole book, we're going to read the first paragraph of two different books and discuss them as if we'd read the whole book! Take these episodes to your English teachers.
Michael brings the first paragraph of The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope. Delightful Victorian tomfoolery!
Ethan hopes to talk about the first paragraph of Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. Light in a post-apocalyptic World War II waste!
And this episode's punishment: "The Capture of Havana" by William McGonagall.
