    Le Dernier Homme (The Last Man) by Jean-Baptiste De Grainville
    Oct 30 2018
    #01: 1805 - the first modern novel depicting the end of the world is published. And boy howdy, what an ending! Jean-Baptiste François Xavier Cousin De Grainville takes us on a good old-fashioned biblical Apocalypse with some modern twists along the way. Come for the Whovian frame story, be tantalized by the will-they-won't-they, and stick around for Nella's new favorite hate-ship. Viva la France!

    Jan 16 2019

    #04.2: The year is 1890, and Ignatius "Iggy" Donnelly doesn't want a violent revolution to destroy society as we know it, but so it goes. This book is anti-semitic, racist, and is grossly obsessed with female "purity". Listener discretion is advised. Come for a discussion about the history of the labor movement, stay for the violence inherent in the system!
