Traveling through time and prose styles, from today to Renaissance Italy to Sumer to ages even more distant, it's disorienting in a fascinating way. Playing God, the other book of Serret's that I read for this episode, is a tight novella set in 1969 America, with a lot of teenage lesbianism. CP Serret has range.\nEarly on in recording (within the first five or six minutes), Serret's microphone started acting up. I ended up cutting a few minutes out, because the audio quality was so grating. Apologies to those desperate for every possible minute of Serret.\nGet CP Serret's books here: tempestandgayle.com\n\nCP Serret on X: @LeProjetSerret\n\nVERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION\nJack has published a novel called Tower!\nAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Jack-BC-ebook/dp/B0CM5P9N9M/ref=monarch_sidesheet\nThe first nine chapters of Tower are available for free here: jackbc.substack.com\n\nOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHell\n\nJack's Substack: jackbc.substack.com\n\nLevi's website: www.levioutloud.com\n\nwww.thebookclubfromhell.com\n\nJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): https://discord.gg/nbRkVeztEQ\n\nWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featured\n\nX: @bookclubhell666\n\nJack on X: @supersquat1\n\nLevi on X: @optimismlevi","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/gIzeOHUHs7RZ9ol5IYh_CT1rjubaNPNBix4NumF6on0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI2NDM1LzE3MDcz/NDM4NDktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
