This week, Brian, Chad, and Kaija discuss the first half of\u00a0Passages<\/em>, arguable Quin’s most poetic book, and definitely most experimental one to date. They talk about the way the two characters try to define themselves and create their identities, flow versus points, geometry and parallax, masks and threesomes, and more. It’s a dense\u2014yet fun\u2014episode, much in keeping with the text itself!<\/p>\n

This week’s music is “Future<\/a>” by Rich Aucoin.<\/p>\n
