A purposeful labyrinthine title for an episode that starts with a real world mystery.
You will know if you're in the know who JLB is - the famously blind and brilliant librarian of the imagination.
Honestly there was something of a miscommunication for this episode. We started with an idea of doing Borges and then Jonah gave Will a supplementary text titled the Oxford Book of Latin American Short Stories just to round out the conversation. But Will seemed so enamored with a few of these that he kind of pivoted in his mind to doing the episode on that. Consequently some of Jonah's JLB conjectures fall into the ears of someone mightily prepared for a different conversation.
Still it's the same podcast in the bookstore. Come sit with us for a while.
(Are all of our podcasts like labyrinths? Eh, screw off you with your pretentious conjecture.)
