This week I want to talk about the literary food truck project and why it's time to try it if you haven't yet! Since I designed this project many years ago, I've heard from sooo many teachers about how well it worked for them as an engaging AND analytical way to wrap up their choice reading or book club unit. I got three lovely notes from teachers this very week, and each one had me grinning from ear to ear. I know it can be hard to find a project that doesn't make you feel like the book police, but this one checks all the boxes. Here's the basic premise. Students in groups or partnerships imagine they are creating a food truck based on the book they've just read. The menu, social media accounts, playlist, apparel, etc. will all flow directly from their understanding of the text. They'll create the props and make the food items that will make their final display pop for their classmates, and then explain them in a more analytical paper.  On the day of the festival, students have a chance to wander from booth to booth, seeing the visuals for each truck, tasting menu items, exploring how the different books have inspired different themes, and getting ideas for their TBR lists. Because of the fun format, students don't feel like they're being quizzed on their books so much as being invited to share them. The final festival becomes a buzzworthy school event, and something that easily rolls over into an anticipated tradition. So this week, I want to highly recommend you try a literary food truck project of your own. You can grab the free curriculum for this project right here.

On this edition of The Mighty, MeidasTouch co-founder Ben Meiselas interviews world-renowned basketball player Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, who first caught the nation's attention in 1988 as a Louisiana State University freshman sensation. Abdul-Rauf was drafted 3rd overall by the Denver Nuggets and quickly became one of the NBA's top scorers. Despite topping the leaderboards, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf's NBA career came to a sudden halt after he decided he would no longer stand for the national anthem to protest systemic oppression and racism. Abdul-Rauf soon found himself shunned by the league and effectively forced out of the NBA. Abdul-Rauf tells his compelling story in his new autobiography, In the Blink of an Eye, published by Kaepernick Publishing, which is available to order right now.

With the term "weird studies" gaining currency inside and outside academia, Phil and JF thought it was time to discuss the philosophical method they've been developing on the podcast since 2018. Borrowing a term from Erik Davis, they call it weirding, and here set about trying to understand what it is, and what it means. David Lynch's fondness for crying, the practice of queering in cultural theory, the all-too-real phenomenon of "global weirding,"the spooky agency of artworks, and the tragic death of E.T. at the hands of Damien Hirst are just a few of the subjects touched on in the conversation. "Weirding" also happens to be the working title of the book your hosts are writing for Strange Attractor Press, as well as an eight-week series of lectures and discussions starting October 25th, 2022, on the Nura Learning platform.

When it comes to our books, we are often in a state of perpetual chaos. We have to juggle our time between writing, editing, and promoting our books. When we get too busy, we easily lose motivation and feel overwhelmed. It can be difficult to find the time and energy to write on a regular basis. And this is all just the book part of our business lives. We're still running our business and living our life while trying to write, publish, and market our book.

What do you get when you mix an alien with jazz hands, too many scientific references, and a hint of cannibalism? A really tough read.  Project Hail Mary follows Ryland Grace, the sole survivor on a spaceship where he can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it's up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he's got to do it all alone…or does he?  Our Sci-fi expert, Ella Kopeikin, joins me today to talk about this hot mess of a 400-page book we had to endure.  In this episode we cover:  Why we REALLY disliked this book (some would say hate) Why the necessity of an alien doing jazz hands was beyond us How this book has 4.5 stars on Goodreads…just, how?! Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will leave you squirming and red in the face for all the wrong reasons.  Mentioned in the Pairings section of the podcast: Space Force  (TV Show) The Martian (Book) Gravity (Movie) 2001: A Space Odyssey (Book) Guardians of the Galaxy (Movie) Real Genius (Movie) Regular Show (TV Show) Wine Pairings: Moon X and any gin, because Ella hates gin ***  Once you're done listening, hop onto our Instagram and TikTok @rwreadspodcast to give us your thoughts on the discussion and the book.

King Rao–one of the protagonists from Vauhini Vara's novel The Immortal King Rao (W. W. Norton & Company: 2022)—is like many of the tech founders we idolize today. King comes from humble beginnings—born into a Dalit family in a coconut grove in India–moves to the U.S., and launches a company that ends up dominating the world. But Vauhini's novel is also the story of King's daughter Athena, living in the world created by her father's company: a world of social credit, “hothouse earth” and “Shareholder Government”. The Immortal King Rao presents a techno-dystopia that may be recognizable for us today. But it's more than just a warning about the future–Vauhini's novel weaves together scenes from the past and the near future to tell a story about caste in India and the growth of our modern-day tech sector. Vauhini Vara has worked as an editor at the New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, and the Atlantic, and as a journalist for those publications and others, including the Wall Street Journal, where she began her career. She is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and her fiction has appeared in Tin House and McSweeney's and has been honored by the Rona Jaffe Foundation, the O. Henry Prize, and the Canada Council for the Arts. Her essay about grieving her sister's death, “Ghosts”—published in The Believer and adapted by This American Life—will be anthologized in The Best American Essays 2022. She is the secretary for Periplus, a mentorship collective serving writers of color, and a mentor for the Lighthouse Writers Workshop's Book Project. In this interview, Vauhini and I talk about The Immortal King Rao, how the experience of her family's Dalit heritage motivated her to write the book, and what companies, perhaps, inspired the techno-dystopia seen in her novel.
