The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen is a heart warming story about a loving family celebrating the holidays.
Correction: In the previous paragraph we mis-identified The Corrections as being heart warming, when it is actually the gut-wrenching recitation of several horrible people bickering for hundreds of pages. We regret the error.
Thanks to Randianne and Ryan for sponsoring this episode, and for correctly identifying that it’s a painful book. We agree.
It seems that you’ve renamed Ryan as Andy, which is a common mistake when people confuse my name with RaggedyAnn. So it follows that Ryan must be Andy.
Ugh, I’m the worst. I’ve updated it here. Did we do it on the show too?
You didn’t do it in the previous episode when you announced the sponsorship, but we haven’t listened to the current episode yet! We’re waiting until we can listen together :PAnd we’d argue that you are not the worst!
So am I to understand Sarah will be joining you guys in Ezra’s absence?
I guess I didn’t make that super clear. Tanya is Ezra’s paternity replacement.
No you totally did at the end of the Podcast. I was right in the beginning when I asked that question. Sorry.
Oh my God, thank you for doing this episode. I read an equally long-winded, unpleasant Jonathan Franzen book and I also only found reviews praising him. I noticed the sexism, but the racism was a surprise!
