Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the first half of September’s book, Piranesi by Susannah Clarke published in 2020 (up to the end of Part 3 (page 124 in my copy) if you're reading alongside). The idea of the podcast is that we’ll split a book into two equal halves — a book that I and perhaps you have never read. In the first podcast, published on the second Friday of the month, we’ll discuss the first half. And then in the second podcast (published on the last Friday of the month - 24th September), we’ll look at the second half of the book (in this case from part 3 (page 24 in my copy) to the end). We’ll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it’s a book we’d recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don’t have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I’ll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at the BookShook YouTube channel (link below) or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. The book we’ll be reading for October is 2666 by Roberto Bolaño (trans. Natasha Wimmer) (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside). Thanks for listening to BookShook! Roger
Content Warning: I have removed any swear words but please check the content of the novel in case their are themes you may find distressing.
