TMR 18.2: “BUY BERG’S BEST HAIR TONIC” [Ann Quin]

Chad and Brian dive into the first half of Berg this episode, mispronouncing words, talking about the literary scene Quin came out of, whether or not Berg/Greb is an incel, the humor found in the book, and more. (Inevitably there’s a dig at Ohio somewhere in this recording.)

This week’s music is “When a Woman Is Around” byUnloved.

You can watch next week’s discussion of Berg live on YouTube at 4pm ET on Wednesday, November 9th. (Reading schedule can be found here.) And you can find all previous seasons of TMR on our YouTube channel.

And you can support us at Patreon and get bonus content before anyone else, along with other rewards, the opportunity to easily communicate with the hosts, etc.
