This week, Chad and Tom return to basics--more book talk than industry talk, a promise to release a new episode every other Wednesday--but start off with something that's very, very Three Percent: #Cockygate. Although the #Cockygate lawsuit is interesting in its own right, it's the breakdown of the seedy underworld of gaming Kindle Unlimited that really catches their imagination. Then they recommend a few new books (both from New Directions), and finish by talking with Emma Ramadan about her translation of Pretty Things by Virginie Despentes. Here are links to The Governesses and The Hole, and here's Emma's fairly odd picture. This week's music is "Bleed Turquoise" by Bleed Turquoise from Bleed Turquoise.
