So I am loving it.

Mississippi Records, I couldn't recommend it more if you're a vinyl nerd and just kind of want to break your mind outside of it.

In reading this book for the interview that we have on Tuesday, just writing notes throughout, at one point I just wrote, he's so kind to his characters.

He's covered the MAGA movement somewhat as well.

He went to MAGA rallies and wrote a New Yorker piece about it.

And it's just remarkable.

I can't wait to talk to him because I do think he's such a moral writer.

And he has characters in here that you want to throw under the bus for the actions that they've done.

And he grapples with this idea of how much grace to give to human beings and what the role of faith is and what the role of comfort is in how we see other people.

He talks about human beings.

One of the characters, I think I've heard him talk in interviews about, is a book of questions.

He creates characters who have moral quandaries that isn't one particular answer.

But one of the characters really,

goes inside the body of somebody who is a murderer and comes out of it saying there is no other way for that person to be.

Talking about humans being inevitable.

And I think that's such an interesting...

place to be in conversation that he has because he also bumps it up against another character the Frenchman who is who thinks there should be more culpability and accountability for the actions that we take and this book asks a lot of the questions that we have at the show and the times that we are in it's also in such a playful manner Saunders is so silly and goofy yeah there was there was a moment where I started reading this and I started in my mind seeing it as a as a Tim Burton film

Oh, yeah, okay.

It's silly, and it's playful, and it's spooky.

And I even read my son, who's five, hopped in bed with me and was like, what are you reading?
