I just learned the other day that Kiernan's papers are in a special collection at Brown's library. I've loved Kiernan's work and I knew that they had been involved in some pretty commercially viable stuff via the Gaiman connection, but it's weird to discover someone you have always thought of as kind of a private obsession is really a Pretty Big Deal. (Similar to hearing Ligotti shouted out when True Detective went big, or weirder still realizing a long time ago that a Pavement song was being used as the outro to a terrible sports talk show on ESPN)
LaborKyle is an absolute legend. Thanks for listening. I should really read that novella. Haven't gotten to that one yet.

This was a fantastic episode. I did not expect it to take the shape it did--with the robust and really vibrant exploration of subjectivity, but I was delighted that it did. Laborkyle is such a treasure. Thanks for this wonderful dive into one of my favorite movies. (Tangential: my most recent favorite line re subjectivity comes from the great Caitlin Kiernan's novella Agents of Dreamland, "The first rule is you are who you are, until you're not anymore.")
