This week we are discussing Karen Tei Yamashita's novel Through the Arc of the Rainforest, a magical realist look at the realities of corporate exploitation in the developing world. By turns comedic and tragic, the book weaves together the lives of a number of characters in the manner of a Brazilian novela (akin to an American soap opera). It's a great, underappreciated book, and we really enjoyed discussing it, and hopefully our conversation can spur some new readers to give it a look.
This episode contains spoilers for the plot of Through the Arc of the Rainforest, but you should really listen anyway, because the pure delight of the book can be found in its style, not only in its plot.
