About this listen

Just a couple of bros talkin’ books. Hosted by Nerdy Ernie and Ryan ”All” Capps, with the occasional appearance from George (Ernie’s attention-loving golden retriever). On this podcast, the bros will nerd out over their favorite authors, ranging from literary giants like Gene Wolfe, Ursula K. Le Guin, or Jorge Luis Borges; to contemporary, can't-miss bestsellers like Rebecca Roanhorse, Fonda Lee, or Pierce Brown.If you've sensed a pattern, you're probably spot on: we like our science fiction, and we love our epic fantasy. No genre is off-limits however, and you might find a Cormac McCarthy here on occasion or a Keigo Higashino; our palate has a wide range of tastes, and we hope to share as much as we can of it with other bros who love books or are learning to love reading!Nerdy Ernie Art Literary History & Criticism

    Feb 15 2024

    The bros (along with our first Honorary Bro) discuss The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides.


    The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive.
    Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.
    Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.
    Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....
