My overall impression
This audacious and enjoyable hour is akin to a dinner party where your brilliant dramaturge friend does an enthusiastic, spur-of-the-moment, speed-improv conversation about his favorite book.
Brad is naturally engaging, and as if this whole endeavor wasn’t ridiculous enough already, he adds a bit of simple interactivity with the audience that helps keep him on his toes.
Ultimately it’s not so much a retelling of the fifteen chapters, 600+ characters, and seven-year plot of the book, so much as a heartfelt, literary-nerd love letter to its sprawling emotion and enduring resonance. Unexpectedly funny and inspiring — and it actually made me want to (finally) read the book.
