The Fishermen, by Chigozie Obioma, and Benriach 12, Part 2

Michael and Ethan begin their discussion of The Fishermen, by Chigozie Obioma, while drinking Benriach distilliery’s The Twelve.

In this episode:

  • The payoff to a secret joke

  • Obligatory D&D discussion, sorry

  • Sorry also to our Morning DJ audience

  • Maybe more pointing out than usual of things we don’t understand. shrug At least we’re honest

  • Leaping Christ figures

  • MaEiaRwS: avoiding the easy interpretation since 2016

  • Oh yeah, there should probably be a bullet point about animals

  • If we don’t incriminate ourselves one way, we’ll do it another way

Next time Michael and Ethan will begin discussion of our next Mongo Book: Gargantua and Pantagruel, by Francois Rabelais. Join the discussion!
