I loved the hell out of Jarret's novel Darkansas, so I asked him to come on my podcast. In response, he sent me a list of things we could talk about. Here is that list: "In addition to talking about the book, we could hit on myths, surrealism, philosophy, Deleuze, hallucinogens, Jung's red book, cold showers, the benefits of stoicism." And damn if we don't hit on all of those. We also talk our messages from the dreamworld, active imagination, and the concept of Twin Peaks as a hypersigil.
