In this episode:

Yanking the timeline 30 years into the future

James’ style is either noirish, or journalistic, or both

We do give away the one real spoiler in the book

Prognosticating Twain’s reactions, ahistorically

Make sure to take Michael’s many manifold meanings

Excellent Electic Lit interview with Percival Everett

The goosebumpiest part of the novel

The Cross and the Lynching Tree, by James H. Cone
