SchizoZENia: The Book of Form and Emptiness
Published 2 years, 4 months ago
Description
Alternate episode title: "Who Killed Captain Aleph?"
The Shelfers get Zen as we dive into Ruth Ozeki's 2021 work of magical realism, "The Book of Form and Emptiness."
This book has got it all: psych wards, nonbinary ferrets, anarchist goth GFs, Zizek in a wheelchair, disaster capitalism, Marie Kondo, ghostly fridge magnets...none of this is a joke by the way.
Also, Jacob yelled at the President last weekend, so that's pretty cool. Video of that here.
