This week the guys delve into Jeff Vandermeer’s incredible weird sci-fi novel, “Annihilation,” by discussing parts 1, 2, and ending with part 3. They kick things off with a SPOILER-FREE section covering some background about the author and their general thoughts about the novel so far. SPOILER-FREE section ends: 15:11
Spoiler topics include: The language and style of the novel, the reliability of the narrator, what they think the Crawler could be, the shadiness of the government running these expeditions, the nature of the crew’s little warning light, the fear of the unknown, the role hypnotism plays in the novel, the big twist at the end of section 3, and a discussion on literary vs. genre writing and where this novel might fit into that debate. Join them again next week when they finish out the novel, and the week after for their reactions to the new film by Alex Garland featuring Natalie Portman and Oscar Isaac.
