Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the first half of March’s book, Bewilderment by Richard Powers published in 2021 (up to page 447 “ ROBBIE EVEN ENJOYED INFLATING THE BOAT” 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 - 25th March), we’ll look at the second half of the book (in this case p147 "ROBBIE EVEN ENJOYED INFLATING THE BOAT" 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 April is For Whom the Bell Tolls by Earnest Hemingway (504pp) (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside). Thanks for listening to BookShook! Roger
Content Warning: There are adult themes in the novel. I have removed any swear words. Please check the book content before listening.
