Michael & Ethan continue in their discussion of Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, really getting into the nitty-gritty of why anything even matters. But is that inherently nihilist? Find out today on Michael & Ethan in a Room with Scotch! In this episode:

It will inevitably turn into a Dadaist digression on the environment and the solipsistic nature of man.

This book is both Shakespearean and American.

They confuse characters.

They talk too much (is that possible) about Shakespeare.

Both of them agree, “It’s not Sartre.”

Michael asks impossible questions.

Ethan brags.

Find out which letter is the most skeptical of the entire alphabet, according to Michael.

There is no fourth wall.

Lydia is a butt.

Michael blows wide the paradigm.

Michael gets real, full of the paranoid shakes.

Ethan challenges us to look up Love Story. Maybe this is it?

Their next book will be Things not Seen by Andrew Clements. Join the discussion! Go to the lilienthal-t4f8.squarespace.com/contact">Contact page and put "Scotch Talk" in the Subject line.
