In this episode, the Spine Crackers are joined by Ben, the proprietor of the fantastic Book Shore YouTube channel, to discuss legendary postmodern author Joseph McElroy's 2013 novel of war, family, memory, and American identity, Cannonball. Ben also breaks some genuine literary news with respect to some previously semi-lost McElroy texts!
