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<\/a>. 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\u00a0Pretty Things\u00a0<\/em>by Virginie Despentes.<\/p>\n

Here are links to\u00a0The Governesses<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The Hole<\/em><\/a>, and here’s Emma’s fairly odd picture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This week’s music is “Bleed Turquoise<\/a>” by Bleed Turquoise from\u00a0Bleed Turquoise.<\/em><\/p>\n
