Ep 027 – You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers
It’s rare that we read a book and just out-and-out dislike it, but that’s what happened when Andrew read Dave Eggers’ You Shall Know Our Velocity! Eggers’ tale of two young men who travel around the world and give away $32,000 may have resonated with reviewers, but Andrew had trouble getting into it.
What follows is a discussion less about the book’s plotting and themes, and more about Andrew’s reaction to the book and just what he didn’t enjoy about it (and why). Apologies for the audio quality on this one; it was recorded in Andrew’s now-former apartment, and echoes abound though we have tried our best to minimize them.
