Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our eighty-sixth episode, we cover a postmodernist masterpiece and one of the first 'anti-detective' novels, Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 (1966). We become increasingly paranoid, read a truly bizarre sex scene, and discuss the benefits and detriments of Jameson's.
