Welcome back! In our third episode we discuss House of Splendid Isolation by Edna O’Brien for the backlist deep dive. In the Marías portion we dig into Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me and A Heart So White. We really hit it out of the park in both sections, if we do say so ourselves.

Books mentioned in this episode:

• The works of Edna O’Brien, specifically: Girl and The Little Red Chairs
• Chronicle of the Murdered House by Lúcio Cardoso, translated by Margaret Jull Costa & Robin Patterson
• Galore by Michael Crummey

And returning champions:

• John Crow’s Devil by Marlon James
• A Companion to Javier Marías by David K. Herzberger
