About this episode

This episode covers Chapters 16 and 17 of Jules Verne's 'Around the World in Eighty Days', focusing on the character Fix's confusion and the developments during the voyage from Singapore to Hong Kong.

Chapter 16 - In Which Fix Does Not Seem to Understand in the Least What Is Said to HimChapter 17 - Showing What Happened on the Voyage from Singapore to Hong Kong Fix is having a rough stretch, and it is deeply enjoyable to watch. Chapter 16 puts him in a conversation where he is genuinely, completely lost - and the comedy of a professional detective being this thoroughly confused is something Verne clearly relished writing. Then Chapter 17 gets us on the water between Singapore and Hong Kong, and the voyage produces exactly the kind of unexpected development that keeps this story moving at such a relentless pace. New city, new complications. Let's go. You could've enjoyed this full episode early if you'd been a Patron!
