We're joined by David Roth (writer and co-owner, Defector Media) to discuss the debut novel by Pete Beatty, which spins a tall tale of a mythological character, Big Son, and his various feats in 1830s Ohio. We talk about how the novel complicates and subverts stories of American myth, and just how much fun it is to read. We also chat with David about his own work, including blending sports and politics at Deadspin (R.I.P.), and how reading Kurt Vonnegut prepared him for writing about Donald Trump.

This week we get acquainted with the power of language via the medium of Sean Penn’s debut novel Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff, after which we find that an unnamed male author has claimed that he’s living proof that men can write believable female characters (we’re confused as well, but that claim has led to a rather hilarious Twitter challenge). In other news, Neil Gaiman is going to produce a new TV adaptation of Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast novels, and Choose Your Own Adventure books make something of a comeback. After that we let Producer Rob loose so he can … erm … get some things about Ready Player One off his chest before Andrew regales us with a dramatic reading of an Ernest Cline poem. #LiteraryLoitering #TheGeekShow #Books #Novels #TheArts #Theatre #News #Reviews #Podcasts #CulturalAnarchy #Culture #SeanPenn #BobHoneyWhoJustDoStuff #MervynPeake #Gormenghast #NeilGaiman #ReadyPlayerOne #Movies #Films #Nostalgia #80s #StevenSpielberg #ErnestCline #NerdPornAuteur #Surreal #Comedy

The Academy Award-winning actor and director Sean Penn has in his long film career brought to the big screen figures from bestselling books like Mystic River and Into the Wild.  Now, with his debut novel Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff, Penn offers a darkly comic vision of  21st-century America for readers.  When septic tank salesman Bob travels to Iraq in search of Bagdad waste-management business, he's kidnapped and recruited into a bizarre and lethal international scheme.  On this episode of the podcast, Sean Penn sits down in our studio with Bill Goldstein to talk about the making of a book with flavors of Vonnegut, Pynchon, and the high-wire work of David Foster Wallace.

At the top of the show, Sean Penn reflects on how his just-released first novel, Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff, had its roots in his effort to intervene in the 2016 presidential election. So after Trump's victory, Penn continued with Bob Honey to investigate the ways in which we're all complicit in this catastrophic outcome; and what better mode to take all that on than a Pynchonesque, Foster Wallace-inspired antic tale, an absurdist/realist fiction. Co-hosts Eric Newman and Kate Wolf don't shy away from the obvious and vexing question: why would an A-list Hollywood actor, director, and screenwriter, sure to get any project green lit, choose the written word? What emerges is a fascinating portrait of a celebrity who truly rejects celebrity culture, a person of conscience, a restless creative imagination, rooted in the American rebel tradition, hell-bent on the next inspired, giddy, revealing turn-of-phrase.
