Edgar Award–winning novelist Chris Pavone on creating tension that never lets up, editing a book to make it bigger rather than just better, and turning a single apartment building into a portrait of a whole city. We discuss Why every book has to be one clear thing before it can be anything else. How two decades of editing other people's books prepares you to write your own. The offhand note from a legendary editor that quietly transformed a debut, and why the vaguest feedback can be the most useful. What it means to edit a book to make it bigger, not just to make it less bad. Why tension, not speed, is what truly keeps a reader turning pages. A counterintuitive case for telling readers what's coming on page one, then making them wait for it. How to keep generating questions and withholding answers without ever feeling coy. The one-page document worth months of tinkering before a single chapter gets written. What turns a story set in a city into a genuine portrait of that city. When to separate your hopes from your expectations, and what success can actually look like for a working novelist.

We got some big ones on the pod this week! We bring back Christina Laskay to talk about Brian De Palma's Bonfire of the Vanities (23:53) and Robert Zemeckis' Death Becomes Her (57:47). We talk a whole lot about special effects, Meryl Streep's brand of comedy, almost every miscast character in Bonfire of the Vanities, and one of Ryan's top movie cardinal crimes: Unnecessary Voice Over!
You know we are a sucker for a fun movie, yet this one does not meet that standard. Join us as we analyze the shortcomings of Brian de Palma's Bonfire of a movie, The Bonfire of the Vanities.
A bestselling novel, a proven director, and multiple actors with name recognition – this is the recipe for blockbuster filmmaking…unless those ingredients don't mix well together. Join the St. Johns as they discuss the Brian De Palma fiasco “The Bonfire of the Vanities” and everything that goes along with it: the miscasting, the excess, and the way it tries to be about too much and doesn't quite nail any of it.

Following the death of Lorenzo the Magnificent, who was his Medici successor? Could he overcome the political turmoil and religious fervour in Florence, and rebuff the storm clouds of war gathering over his city with the approaching French army? How did this burgeoning catastrophe catapult the magnetic priest, Savonalrolla, to supreme power in Florence? Could he save it from the jaws of death with his fiercely puritanical regime? And, how would he become the bane of the Medici and destroy all they had ever built, in a roaring bonfire of worldly vanities? Join Dominic and Tom for the climactic apotheosis of their glittering, dramatic, salacious and utterly bombastic journey through the rise and fall of the flamboyant Medici at the high point of Renaissance Florence, and the charismatic priest who would save and then conquer their kingdom.

Chris Pavone joins Carol Fitzgerald to discuss his latest thriller, THE DOORMAN, a Bookreporter Bets On selection that is being called a modern-day BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES, which is spot-on. Chris talks about the book's setting, the Bohemia, which drew inspiration from the building where he now lives. He had long conversations with Johnny, one of the building's doormen, and shares what their friendship brought to the story. The novel takes place over just a day, looking at the doorman and a couple of the building's personnel, as well as the occupants of two apartments in the Bohemia. Chris has a number of book ideas that he is noodling at any one time, but he explains how this one spoke to him to be written, and how he pivoted along the way. He also muses about New York City today, and how much has changed from when he was growing up in Brooklyn.

It's one of the biggest bombs in modern movie history; financially, critically, artistically, you name it. It's an infamous mess made all the more fascinating by Julie Salamon's fantastic book (and podcast!) The Devil's Candy, and it still stands as a movie that film nerds love to banter about. For example, in this episode I'm joined by film critic / author / old friend Jason Bailey (@jasondashbailey), and we pretty much can't shut up.

This person died in 2018 at age 88. When he graduated college in 1951 he had enough skill as a baseball player to earn a tryout with the New York Giants. He earned his PhD in American Studies from Yale in 1957. Beginning in the 1960s he helped create the enormously influential hybrid of fiction techniques into non-fiction known as the New Journalism. He was instantly recognizable as he strolled down Madison Avenue — a tall, slender, blue-eyed, boyish-looking man in his spotless three-piece white bespoke suit. He authored The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, The Right Stuff, and Bonfire of the Vanities.

We end Tom Hanks-uary with an adaptation of Tom Wolfe's seminal '80s classic that ended up being one of the biggest bombs of all time: Bonfire of the Vanities. Movie critic Dustin Rutledge stops by to talk all about Hanks, the bizarre Bruce Willis performance, and that opening shot.Starring Hanks, Bruce Willis, and Melanie Griffith, it follows Hanks as Sherman McCoy, a man at the center of a controversy that's as '80s as it gets. It's one of movies that is such an immense failure, it needs to be seen to be understood.

"The Bonfire of the Vanities" went from one best-selling novels of the 1980s, but the film based on the Tom Wolfe ("The Right Stuff") book would go down as an all-time worst. This edition of the podcast looks at why it failed so historically, despite an A-list cast (Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith) or perhaps that's a major factor for the film's demise. TCM host Ben Mankiewicz and film critic/author Julie Salamon, who host the TCM podcast "The Plot Thickens: The Devil's Candy" (based on Julie's book about the making of the movie) are here for an entertaining debate about the blockbuster flop. https://theplotthickens.tcm.com
The boys are joined by the hosts of What Went Wrong in this gruesome exploration of Tom Wolfe's book-gone-movie, Bonfire of the Vanities. Discussion includes: a deranged, WASP-ed out Hanks shooting his own house, Bruce Willy on the mic, how sexy the Hanks is scientifically speaking, and just how badly a movie can go. This isn't a recommended watch, but it sure is a recommended listen! What Went Wrong, hosted by Lizzie Bassett & Chris Winterbauer https://www.instagram.com/whatwentwrongpod/
A miracle prevents Mad Max from invading Italy and Savonarola's prophetic credentials continue to rise. But he still wants Florence to purify itself further so he orders his first Bonfire Of The Vanities. The post #104 – Savonarola Part 11 – Bonfire Of The Vanities appeared first on The Renaissance Times.
This week we dive into the atrocities of Friar Savonarola and what became known as The Bonfire of The Vanities!
After Lorenzo de Medici's death in 1492, Botticelli gave up painting, abandoned his humanist studies, and became a hardcore fundamentalist Christian. As did a lot of Florentines. The reason? They all fell under the spell of the original fire and brimstone preacher. He wasn't rich. He didn't have an army. He wasn't of the nobility. He wasn't sent by the pope. In fact, the Pope hated him. But he managed to do what so many rich men with armies had failed to do for decades. He overturned the government of Florence, kicked out the Medici family, and took control of the city. And... to top it off, he was a precursor of the Reformation. He is famous for the Bonfire Of The Vanities. His name was Girolamo SAVONAROLA. The post #94 – Savonarola Part 1 appeared first on The Renaissance Times.
Part of our 2 months of Hanksgiving.
Jonathan Freedland and his guests compare the Bonfire of the Vanities in fifteenth century Florence with Extinction Rebellion's Autumn Uprising. Girolamo Savonarola was a Dominican Friar whose apocalyptic sermons inspired his followers, the Piagnoni or 'wailers' to take over Florence's streets and squares, challenging the authorities and condemning the consumption of sinful luxuries, such as mirrors, cosmetics and musical instruments. Today's Extinction Rebellion activists have also staged city-centre protests, demanding radical action to reduce carbon emissions and the consumption of modern luxuries such as fast fashion and air travel. Joining Jonathan to discuss past and present are Evelyn Welch, Professor of Renaissance Studies at King's College London, Tim Stanley of The Telegraph and William Skeaping of Extinction Rebellion.

Today is Friday so it is a Thought of the Walk day and I got a little weird this week. I started thinking about social networks, censorship and the Bonfire of the Vanities. So we will discuss how social networks are behaving much like Friar Savonarola's rein of terror is mich like what is starting to happen now on what have become major publishing platforms.
