About this episode

The episode features a discussion about the book 'Fedbook' and various related topics with guest John Jay Stancliff.

Fedbook is a good book about feds. Less glibly, it's a ton of fun, a gothic espionage thriller about an informant placed in a terror cell, one planning a mass-casualty attack on a university. It's formally inventive, surprising, and, despite the whole mass-shooter thing, it's also very funny. John and I talked about Fedbook, his upcoming book ('Pierce', to be released by Farthest Heaven), Christian justifications for violence, /lit/, framing carpentry, and a lot more.
