Literary Loitering - Irreverent Mockery With Cultural Anarchists
Literary Loitering 89 - All Stork, No Chin
08 Aug 2018
The calamitous cultural anarchists have wandered haphazardly into town again, and this time they’ve brought a friend on their never-ending quest for snacks and a comfy place to take a nap. Kicking things off this week is our usual Game of Thrones-watch, which this time doesn’t involve Grr Martin but does involve the possibility that maps of Westeros could be used to assist in a real-world prison break. We’re a bit confused by that as well. After that there’s something spicy with details of Sean Spicer’s sizzling tell-all book, then it’s crime-fighting with Barack and Biden, MI6’s plans to recruit teenaged secret agents, and poisoning by books. Rounding things off is our featured book, which this week is The Synapse Sequence by Daniel Godfrey (New Pompeii, Empire of Time).
