Chapter 6: The Manassean Question

Chapter 6: The Manassean Question
Asa Thibodeaux

So. That is new. I know. It sounds different in here. Last time, a former student of mine called the show, and what she did next was her own idea. She drove up with a trunk full of foam and a list of everything wrong with my recordings. She is my producer now. Her name is Scriven, and I am told that in here I rank somewhere just below the cat.

We have a phone line now. The first message on it settled a question I had about a cocktail.

The longer part of this recording is about four people. My colleague, the travel analyst, wrote again, at twelve minutes after three in the morning, and she is never long. Four profiles pulled from the August bookings. Two I could name, and they fit everything I had built. Two I could not, and they fit nothing.

And there is a word, in two sets of filings, that I had never seen before this month. Manassean. I do not know what it means. I am going to find out. Listen when you can, and tell me if the word means anything to you.

Recorded July 8th, 2019.
