On this week’s episode, Chad and Tom discuss Tom’s recent piece on J<\/a>ean-Patrick Manchette for\u00a0LARB<\/em>\u00a0<\/a> and talk about which of his books are best to start with, and why there haven’t been more breakout international noir authors. Then they pivot to this\u00a0Publishers Weekly\u00a0<\/em>article on the “Top News Stories of 2019<\/a>,” discussing the impact of each of the ten. They finish with a joint plug for\u00a0Dead Fashion Girl<\/em><\/a>, which is fascinating and unsettling all at once.<\/p>\n

This episode’s music is “All My Happiness Is Gone” by Purple Mountains.<\/p>\n
