Going Bovine
On this episode, author Carlyn Greenwald joins Alli to discuss one of the weirdest books they’ve ever read: Libba Bray’s Going Bovine. They talk about the novel as a 2009 time capsule and consider why bizarre stories like this one are so captivating for readers. Other discussion topics include road trip narratives, existentialism, OCD representation, unlikable characters, drug use, and toxic positivity.
Carlyn Greenwald is the author of two forthcoming novels: Sizzle Reel and Time Out, which she co-authored with Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner. Follow her on Instagram (@carlyn_gee) and Twitter (@CarlynGreenwald).
