Summary

Michael talks too much about his neighborhood and the food he ate in the first part of this episode, so if you want to just go ahead and skip that, he wouldn't blame you. Plus, maybe he was inadvertently offensive. Who knows! But then we get into the book, and we get a peek into the sullen mind of Clyde Griffiths.

from Bonnie London Town. This is obscure season 4 in American tragedy. I am your host,

your friend. You are your lover, your literary mansplain or in chief and Georgianologist

Michael E. and Black Southern gentlemen, Esquaw. Just returned from a midday luncheon,

0:32.4

it's Sunday here in London Town and the traditional Sunday meal is the Sunday roast, which

0:42.4

you can find in homes and pubs and grills all across this fair nation. And the Sunday

0:48.4

Roast is just a monstrous meal. It's usually some sort of roast meat accompanied by potatoes

and veg and I don't know a rocket salad and some sort of crumble or pudding, you know, the

1:04.4

way the Brits eat like, like savages. I had my first Sunday roast last week. We went up to

1:12.4

outchend where some friends live, enjoyed a terrific Sunday roast. I opted for some lighter

1:20.4

fare. The wife got herself some booth. There was also lamb available. I started with a smoked

1:29.4

salmon appetizer and then had some sort of fairly bland salad for my main and then sampled

1:38.4

the pudding afterwards. Well, today the wife returned to our friends in crowd chend and our

1:45.4

friend Jessica is going to be preparing a Sunday roast of her own lamb shoulder, but I opted

1:51.4

2:18.4

introvert. I need to be alone. I think I've talked about this before. I need to be alone and even

2:25.4

when I'm with my bride, my lovely, lovely bride, oftentimes I'm thinking to myself, can you

2:33.4

get the fuck out of my face? She's doing nothing wrong. She's being her perfectly lovely
