And then James said, “I think that’s it.” And we all said our goodbyes.

But for this to make sense, let’s go back a bit, back to the beginning.

In this episode of Prose and Cons, James, Alex, and Phoenix talk about non-linear storytelling—stories where the end is the beginning or sometimes there are new beginnings that come in the middle.

They'll talk through numerous examples as well as touch on some traps to watch out for if you yourself are planning on telling a story this way.

If you want to look into some of the books and things talk about, they are as follows:

• Baccano! (I—Phoenix—spelled it very incorrectly during the episode) directed by Takahiro Omori and based on the light novel series by Ryohgo Narita
• The Terror by Dan Simmons
• Wolf in White Van by John Darnielle
• Swordfish directed by Dominic Sena
• Every Dead Thing by John Connolly
• Traced by Catherine Jinks
• Hyperion by Dan (the man) Simmons
