TMR 24.1: "May I Ask if You Have Confidence?" [Confidence-Man]

  • Summary

  • Not the happiest day in which to record a podcast, but Chad, Brian, and Kaija speak their fears and then dive into Melville's Confidence-Man, talking about grifters, the value of footnotes, and just how modern and amazing Melville's prose is. They guess at who the "confidence man" might be, the burnt over district of western New York, Mormons, and a lot more.

    This week's music is "All Bets Are Off" by Japandroids.

    Next episode will cover Chapters 10-19 of The Confidence-Man. You can find the full reading schedule here.
