The band sits down to jam about everyone's favorite interesting writer with (some) terrible ideas, Borges. We rank our favorite stories from the collection, someone reveals a secret, and somehow they find themselves along the way. Or some version of themselves, that it. It's a rollicking good time with fun for the whole family, if your family likes reading short stories about the internal monologues of Nazis or considerations of the mathematical possibility of all books ever written existing in a space.

Note that we talk about a small section of the next actual Shelved By Genre reading in this episode -- a little part of the last part of Sword of the Lictor. It is a piece of information that does not matter at all on its own, and is mostly notable rather than a major spoiler.

Last Year at Marienbad? Or Hiroshima Mon Amor?

An Exceedingly Large Moose

never paid enough attention to the name before this ep, but borges has got to be the basis for like 3/4 of Jacob geller's catalog right?

I know you're not discussing sag-aftra material yet but I wanted to bookmark that "Pierre Menard" just sort of happens in Los Espookys season 2 when Tati publishes her own version of Don Quijote and then a local school replaces their entire reading list with her plagiarized/summarized books

It's fun that the Harry Potter jape mentioned in this is lost to time thanks to the ephemeral nature of Social Media generally and also Twitter in particular.
