The Sleepers, ft. Josh Boerman

Listen to this episode from The Socialist Shelf on Spotify. The Sleepers? Yeah, I sure do feel sleepy trying to get through this damn book!The great Josh Boerman returns to the pod to talk about Matthew Gasda’s truly heinous 2025 novel, “The Sleepers.”We discuss the hack nature of the “post left,” the long 2016, and the strange enduring rage a certain type of guy holds for Chapo Trap House. We also get really, really mad because this book SUCKS dude.Josh is one of the podcasting GOATS, and as he’s now joined us five times we have elected to honor him with his own Socialist Shelf Bust.
