    YESTERYEAR by Caro Claire Burke >> Wondering about the ending? Or what really happened in during the assault scene?? Tune in!

    19/05/2026 | 37 mins.
    This controversial page turner is SO engaging. Find out why I think that's the case (from a literary perspective) while also allowing me to provide some forensic-style info as to the book's original shape (IT WAS MAYBE SEMI-UTOPIC!), what is actually going on in the assault scene (it's complicated) and what we might make of the ending. This lecture was SO fun (and weirdly short). Listen in now!

    THE BLUE FLOWER by Penelope Fitzgerald >> I'm not sure even Novalis himself (the 18th-century poet/philosopher protagonist of this novel) could fully appreciate THIS LEVEL OF LITERARY GENIUS.

    12/05/2026 | 57 mins.
    The Blue Flower is considered Fitzgerald's masterpiece, and for good reason. It's challenging--an entirely different approach to historical fiction, with subtle, nuanced, gorgeous prose. She makes late-1700s Saxony feel immediate and accessible and you FEEL so much for these people. Listen in to fully appreciate how she produces a book that readers go back to again and again, gaining so much more every single time.

    WASHINGTON SQUARE by Henry James >> Comedy of Errors? Realist novel? Feminist treatise?

    05/05/2026 | 56 mins.
    Tune in to hear why James's 1880 New York novel might be all of the above--plus funny! The close look at the innovative, wry narrative stance is reason enough to spend an hour thinking about this slim book. Not to mention the excellent characterization, the use of satire and the send up of the Gothic meddlesome spinster aunt! Treat yourself now!

    CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN by Sayaka Murata >> I returned to this one in the name of satire but came away with so much more.

    27/04/2026 | 56 mins.
    I can't remember the last time a novel evoked such strong--and opposing!--reactions. This 2018 novella appealed back then but my re-reading was even more satisfying.

    Listen in to hear the many ways Murata is a master of satire. Maybe more interestingly, take a fascinating look at sexuality in the novel via two other Murata essays. Indulge yourself in talk about this smart, unique novel now!

    TRANSCRIPTION by Ben Lerner >> Almost never do I finish a book and wonder what on earth I'll say about it.

    21/04/2026 | 1h 24 mins.
    Lerner's new novel(la) is a revelation. One that deserves a LOT of our attention. It's a text that tests the limits and potentials of what fiction can do. Whether you loved it or came away wondering what the hell you just read, these ninety minutes should deepen your appreciation for this latest from one of my very favorite writers of all time.
