This week, Chad is joined by Rebecca Hussey (BookRiot<\/a>) and Josh Cook (Porter Square Books,\u00a0An Exaggerated Murder<\/em>) to talk about pages 700-776 of Ducks, Newburyport.\u00a0<\/em>They make comparisons to any number of modernist authors (Proust, Woolf, Joyce), discuss mother-daughter relationships, “mom shaming,” Stace’s general sense of rebellion, whether or not the “stories” are getting longer as we move through the book, how it actually has a conventional plot, and how Chad thinks someone needs to put together a book of essays about this novel featuring pieces by booksellers, authors, academics, critics, and moms.<\/p>\n

This week’s music is “4\u00c6M<\/a>” by Grimes.<\/p>\n
