Summary

The Netanyahus is a bit of a confounding book, so naturally there were lots of questions and we did our best to answer as many as we could as thoroughly as possible. We discussed the complicated nature of writing fiction about real/living people, Blum’s relationship with his daughter, whether the book has a moral center, nihilism, and much more.

0:34.6	substack page. And as
0:36.8	of the time we're recording this, which is Thursday the 23rd, we had 50 plus questions,
0:41.1	which is pretty good.
