In addition to ripping on Chad and the poor showing by the Michigan State Spartans in the NCAA Tournament, Brian Wood and Tom Flynn (from ) discuss the morality of animals, how this section of The Physics of Sorrow focuses more on the “animal” side of the minotaur, the mixture of lightness and sorrow in Gospodinov’s writing, terrible sounding alcoholic drinks, and more. It’s a great blend of pure entertainment and literary insight, reinforcing just how carefully crafted and incredible this novel is.
