Books & Beer: Episode 1
The World According to Garp
(about 37 minutes)
Clarissa tries to convince Greg that The World According to Garp is a good novel, and that John Irving is a great author.
This is our first “real episode,” since episode 0 was recorded more as an experiment than anything. Please excuse my awkward attempted-segue from the last episode before we jump right into Garp.
If you have any ideas, suggestions, questions, books, etc. feel free to share them here or on twitter. We’ll settle down to a weekly/bi-weekly schedule here soon, but wanted to record this episode while the novel was fresh. I’m working on a podcast feed and proper archive, but for now you can use my earlier post about Episode 0.
