This week, Chad and Brian talk about the desires of readers, the “middle mind,” writing without a hook, Nabokov’s “The Vane Sisters,” the one contribution Chad made to this book, vocal tics, cocaine, and much more. They both came in high energy on this episode, so sit back and enjoy all the jokes and enthusiasm.<\/p>\n
