Beautiful Oligarchy
OLIGARCHY by Scarlett Thomas / BEAUTIFUL RUINS by Jess Walter\xa0
On this episode, Andrew examines OLIGARCHY by Scarlett Thomas, a story of wealth, privilege, and fierce ponies, while Bailey tangles with book-club favorite BEAUTIFUL RUINS by Jess Walter to see if she can fall in love at first sight with it. Join the hosts as they ring in the new year with a hefty stack of Christmas Shame (from some people, at least), hear about Andrew\u2019s possibly controversial list-amending, and get an INFINITE JEST update from the least lucky member of the pod!
