By Force Alone, by Lavie Tidhar, and Old Pulteney/Oban 12yo, Part 2

Michael and Ethan continue their discussion of By Force Alone, by Lavie Tidhar.

In this episode:

  • Very important distinctions

  • Stalker and God and how they relate to this podcast or something?

  • The wildly offensive Matter of Britain

  • Does Ethan technically lose?

  • At least we acknowledge that Stalker wasn’t the point

  • It both is and is not always about power

  • For the third time this episode, we’re NOT the religion podcast

  • Semantics, but also syntax

Next episode will be a Patented Special Episode, then they’ll begin talking about Babbitt, by Sinclair Lewis. Join the discussion! Go to the Contact page and put "Scotch Talk" in the Subject line. We'd love to hear from you! And submit your homework at the Michael & Ethan in a Room with Scotch page.
