About this listen

Chapter 17 is so long and juicy, that our discussion was long enough and juicy enough to to warrant TWO episodes. Welcome to Part 1!

How long does real transformation take? In the twelve hours of this chapter, our reliably unreliable narrator transforms from a fixation on summoning Davey to an openness to having sex with the world. All because of a mind-altering bodily experience. It's the moment of deep darkness before seeing the light, the coming together of the mind and the body, her desperate desire to know, "How does he fuck?"
