#2 – A Thousand Years of Good Prayers

Folks, if we can make a simple suggestion, don't start uploading a podcast right before the holidays! It'll really throw a spanner in the works. This episode, Emily discusses A Thousand Years of Good Prayers: Stories by Yiyun Li. We talk about short story collections, eunuchs, and why connecting with characters is overrated.

Tsundoku is a Japanese word for the practice of gathering books and never reading them. Join Emily and Leif as they try to figure out why its so hard to read the books that are so fun to buy.
