Episode 18 - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Posthumous Novels

News: Bret Easton Ellis, Noel Gallagher, and Jonathan Franzen: a darling of the 80s, the 90s, and the aughts think we care what they have to say about life in the twenty-teens. Cue the derisive comments about their seminal works!

Reads: Zombies in the age of Obamacare, two books that make Rob hard (oh, I’m sorry, that’s work hard), and James Franco’s Actors Anonymous, which prompts Josh to dub the multi-hyphenate “a better writer than Jack Kerouac.” JAMES, FEEL FREE TO USE THIS QUOTE!

Topic: Posthumous novels. Are they a good idea? Should they be published regardless of suckitude? We discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of works from beyond the grave! (Said in scary ghost voice.)
