I love these essays so much — I feel like they reverse the stupid that Hawk Tuah news makes me. I also have a fox living in my backyard.

Excited to be contemporaneously enjoying this reading with you. Read Erasure (happy to have read, particularly for the BWABs), listened to James (happy to have listened), and about to embark on Trees. Do you think that one would be a better read or a listen?

Ooh, good question. I think you could do either. The Trees has short, propulsive chapters. It sounds weird to say this, given the subject matter, but it's a very readable novel. Quick, funny dialogue and wordplay. Southern accents that would be great with the right narrator. The BWAB-ish thing in The Trees is a list of victims' names, which I imagine would be very powerful in audio.
