Episode 65: Charles Boyle’s novel THE OTHER JACK is mostly an excuse for him to reflect on literary life, but from the margins, not from the mainstream. To give a sense of the book’s canny insight, I pull quotes from it and then comment, choosing the lines that most spoke to me as a hopeless lifelong literary junkie.
