In Episode 5.03, author and journalist Mark Cecil, host of The Thoughtful Bro author interview series with A Mighty Blaze, joins host Dave Pezza to discuss Whereabouts by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri. As if Lahiri's body of work wasn't impressive enough, she had to raise the bar even high with Whereabouts, which was published in April 2021 by Knopf. The author fell in love with Italy and Italian so deeply that she wrote this book in Italian first and then translated it to English. So take a minute, mourn your mere mortal writing process. Considering the book's short page count, any plot synopsis might be longer than the novel itself, so we're going to get you right to it. Enjoy the NovelClass discussion of Jhumpa Lahiri's Whereabouts. Keep reading, everyone.
For the Season 5 premiere, host Dave Pezza is joined by NovelClass co-creator, author, and host of the Writer’s Bone podcast Daniel Ford.

In her new home Klara must learn as much as she can about her new friend and the dystopian world in which they live. Set in perhaps a not-so-distant future, Klara and the Sun, Ishiguro’s eighth novel, is a powerhouse of emotion and a deep probe into the complexities and shortcomings of the human condition. Fresh off his Nobel Prize in literature, Ishiguro cautiously leads his readers into a shockingly and terrifyingly recognizable world where compassion and hope can only be found in the least likely of places.

In Episode 4.09, host Dave Pezza is joined by his good friends Guido Fargiorgio and Eric Prive. Eric, Guido, and Dave discussed The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones.

As adults, they are not only challenged by the struggles that many Native Americans face living on a reservation, including racism, alcoholism, and poverty, but they must also come to terms their own guilt. In The Only Good Indians, Jones offers a truly bizarre story of revenge, guilt, fatalism, and the remarkable resilience of Native American tradition and culture.

Please enjoy our discussion of The Only Good Indians. Today's episode is sponsored by Libro.fm.
On today’s episode, host Dave Pezza is joined by Elizabeth Chiles Shelburne, author of the novel Holding on to Nothing, and they discussed A Beginning at the End by Mike Chen. Published on January 14, 2020 by Mira Books, A Beginning at the End thrusts its readers into a world ravaged by a pervasive respiratory virus that has killed over 70% of the global population. Six years after the outbreak, the world is rebuilding. What remains of humanity has been condensed into a string of metros, former cities where civilization endures and infrastructure and normalcy have been hastily restored. In the center of the San Francisco metro, Chen’s three main characters, Moira, Krista, and Rob, face both mundane and extraordinary challenges as they attempt to run from their past lives, rebuild their current, and face the uncertain future that binds them together. In his third novel, Chen imagines life brought to its knees by the not only the physical devastation of a deadly pandemic but the emotional destruction as well. His impressively considered and executed portrayal of the contemporary American psyche during times of disaster and devastation allowed Chen to present a fictional United States that at times was mirrored by a real-world pandemic that spread throughout the globe only a couple months after the book’s publication. This eerie portend, in combination with his well developed and emotionally mature characters, allows A Beginning at the End to shine. Today's episode is sponsored by Libro.fm.
On this episode, host Dave Pezza is joined by Melissa Faliveno, author of the essay collection, Tomboyland. Melissa and Dave recently chatted about The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel. Published on March 24, 2020 by Harper Collins, The Glass Hotel is Mandel’s fifth novel, and the follow up to her 2014, National-Book-Award-shortlisted novel Station Eleven. Set in various time periods between the 1950s and the late 2010s as well as various locations, including New York City, Toronto, and British Columbia, The Glass Hotel tells the story of a young woman named Vincent whose life takes an abrupt and difficult turn after mother drowns near their home in an obscure portion of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Soon Vincent’s path crosses that of Jonathan Alkaitis, an investment genius, who plunges Vincent into his luxurious New York City lifestyle as well as the financial drama surrounding it. Emily St. John Mandel weaves an unbridled and harrowing story that effortlessly spans vast swaths of time and place. With a terrifically specter-like narrative, Mandel creates a fantastical and at times disorienting feeling of déjà vu as she masterfully bridges her characters from city to city, year to year, and the blurry places in between. Please enjoy our discussion of The Glass Hotel, which is sponsored by Libro.fm.
In Episode 4.06, Dave Pezza is joined by John Vercher, author of the novel, Three-Fifths. John and Dave sat down to discuss The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead.

Published on September 10, 2019 by Agora Books, Three-Fifths portrays the struggles of Bobby Saraceno, a biracial 20-something man living in Pittsburgh in the mid-1990s. As Bobby and his recovering alcoholic mother Isabel struggle to make ends meet waiting tables, Aaron, Bobby’s best friend from high school, returns from prison. But Aaron has changed and has joined the white supremacist movement while incarcerated, forcing Bobby to come to terms with his own concealed blackness. In his debut novel, Vercher masterfully brings his readers back to the mid-1990s, amongst the O.J. Simpson trial, the King Riots, and yet another period in American history dominated by race.

In her debut novel, Zhang depicts a harrowing story that explores race, gender, family, and the hardships of living in a hostile land. Through a unique and magical writing style, Zhang transports her readers to a time and place that seem oddly familiar but terrifying to behold.

This month, Dave Pezza is joined by none other than Daniel Ford, author and host of the Writer’s Bone podcast. Daniel returns once again to NovelClass to discuss a pair of short story collections titled Men Without Women. This first is Ernest Hemingway’s famous collection, first published in 1927. The second is by Japanese author Haruki Murakami, originally published in the Japanese in 2014. First published in 1927 by Charles Scribner’s Sons, Ernest Hemingway’s Men Without Women was Hemingway’s second short story collection and is not only considered to be one of the American literary icon’s best works, but also features stories such as “Hills Like White Elephants,” which have become part of the American Literary canon. At the heart of this collection, Hemingway dissects and investigates the forlorn and difficult lives of men who have lost, misunderstood, or ben alienated from the women in their lives. Originally published in the Japanese in 2014, Haruki Murakami’s Men Without Women cleverly titles itself against Hemingway’s famous collection, deriving using many of the same themes and disillusionment. However, Murakami’s collection offers a much more nuanced look into the motivations and emotions of his male characters who continually find themselves navigating the lonely and confusing state of being a man without women. Please enjoy our discussion of Men Without Women. This month's episode is sponsored by OneRoom.
