🕑 Added 2021-06-04 17:51:08 +0000 UTCMike and Conor quickly discover that Tyra Banks' only novel is Cr8Zee! (Cr8Zee is pronounced "crazeee" because the "t" sound at the end of "8" is silent and the two "ee"s at the end are pronounced like three "eee"s.)
They soon discover parallels to authors Pappy Pariah, Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, Dan Brown, Ernest Cline and others.
All the departments are here: Conor borderline cheats at Real or Fanfic, Dumb Sentences are unearthed, and our loyal listeners send in some truly astonishing facts when we Steal People's Mail.
For next time, read thru Chapter 14!

It's okay. They were suicides.

That was my take. This is Tyra's self-insert. The problem is she mixes surrealism and outright fantasy with (presumable) metaphor without ever telling us which is which. She leaves us little option but to imagine Tookie as being *literally* how Banks describes her.

I can't believe trees died to make this book.

Is Tookie just the version of Tyra Banks as she saw herself at 15? If someone drew a caricature of her, I can see the "stick arms" and "punch bowl" head (her words). I'm not sure Mike and Conor would get that vibe being guys, but growing up female, your view of yourself can be very distorted (thanks to the modeling industry!).
