Book Musik 026 - "Niche: A Memoir in Pastiche" by Momus

Tosh and Kimley discuss “Niche: A Memoir in Pastiche” by Momus.
Nick Currie who performs under the name Momus (the Greek god of
satire and mockery) has enlisted no less than 217 dead narrators of
questionable reliability to tell his life story. His selection of
an eclectic mix of writers, artists, musicians, philosophers, and
assorted ne’er-do-wells probably tells us more about Momus than the
actual narration. It seems both his work and his life borrow a
little from this and steal a little from that and he makes sure to
pilfer from only the best sources to create his own unique
pastiche.
