Chad Post — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 16:08:14 +0000

First time Gaddis reader Elizabeth DeMeo from Tin House joins Chad and Brian to talk about J R’s field trip to the New York Stock Exchange where his class buys a share of Diamond Cable stock. In addition to recapping this somewhat chaotic segment—just imagine twelve sixth graders loose in NYC—they talk about Gaddis’s style, what he had to say about the process of writing a book, the Rick Moody introduction to the Dalkey edition, ideas about what exactly makes this book “difficult,” and much more.
