BE AWARE: This episode portrays an act of self-harm, and the language is strong and excessive. It’s another episode. With another warning. I read out a chapter from a book that I wrote a long time ago. XBook. A story of aliens invading the Earth in December 1918. Well, the First world war has finished, so that makes it a bit easier on the humans. I’ve never said that this was a good book. And each episode, I go in and deep dive into the reasons that make this not a good book. What are those reasons? In a nutshell, it was written many, many years ago. It’s got aliens in a historical environment, and although we don’t see it in this chapter, there’s a lot of heavy surrealism. It also gets very dark in places - today is definitely one of those chapters. Finally, I had absolutely no idea how to write a book. And then my podcast is usually invaded by … well, it usually becomes unlistenable. How will it be sabotaged today? I’ll leave that to you as to whether or not you want to find out. 4:23 - The chapter 30:29 - General Notes 38:46 - The Psychologist’s Chair What are your thoughts on this and previous chapters?
