Don DeLillo Should Win the Nobel Prize
Episode 19: Rachel Kushner's Creation Lake

Don DeLillo Should Win the Nobel Prize

In Episode Nineteen, DDSWTNP turn outward to a discussion of Rachel Kushner, whose Booker Prize-nominated Creation Lake, a 2024 novel about the folly of espionage, revolutionary violence, life underground, and confronting modernity with ancient practices in rural France, solidifies its author's reputation as a key inheritor of DeLillo's influence and themes. Creation Lake is narrated by a nihilistic spy named Sadie Smith who infiltrates a farming commune called Le Moulin and grows enchanted with the claims of their cave-dwelling philosophical advisor, who argues that Neanderthal life thousands of years ago holds the key to reshaping humankind. In it Kushner explores the legacy of France's 1968 while echoing The Names, Great Jones Street, Ratner's Star, Mao II, and other DeLillo works, as we outline in our discussion. We find rich references as well in Creation Lake to Nathaniel Hawthorne, Joan Didion, Michel Houellebecq, and Kushner's own previous works, especially The Flamethrowers and The Mars Room. Listeners looking for new writing reminiscent of DeLillo and those already knowledgeable of Kushner's works will find plenty here, and we hope this episode will be the first of several over time dedicated to DeLillo's massive influence on exciting new world literature. Texts and quotations mentioned and discussed in this episode, in addition to Creation Lake and those by DeLillo: Joan Didion, Play It As It Lays (1970) and Slouching Towards Bethlehem (1968) Dana Goodyear, “Rachel Kushner's Immersive Fiction,” The New Yorker, April 23, 2018 (includes discussion of Kushner's friendship with DeLillo) Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Blithedale Romance (1852) and The Scarlet Letter (1850) Michel Houellebecq, Serotonin (2019) Rachel Kushner, The Flamethrowers (2013) and The Mars Room (2018) ---. “Rachel Kushner: ‘The last book that made me cry? The Brothers Karamazov,” The Guardian, October 5, 2018 (source of this answer: “The book that influenced my writing: Probably novels by Joan Didion, Denis Johnson and Don DeLillo. But a whole lot of other books, too”) “In a real dark night of the soul, it is always three o'clock in the morning, day after day.” (F. Scott Fitzgerald, “The Crack-Up” (1936)– a line mangled slightly in the episode)

Alexander Sammartino was born in Rhode Island, grew up in Arizona, and now lives in Brooklyn. He received his MFA from Syracuse University. His debut novel, Last Acts, was published by Scribner in January and was selected as a New York Times' Editors Choice. Last Acts has been described as “hilarious and wrenching,” by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, “irreverent” by the Chicago Review of Books, and “a wholly American novel about salvation” by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Alex has been called “a magnificent sentence writer” by the New York Times Book Review. And George Saunders, author of Lincoln in the Bardo and A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, said, “What a taut, energetic, tender, and wholly original debut novel Alexander Sammartino has written. He knows something deep about the dark heart of America that somehow doesn't stop him from writing about it with genuine, goofy love. Somewhere, Denis Johnson and Saul Bellow are smiling because their lineage—that of honest, highwire, virtuosic writing that summons up the world with all its charms and hazards, has found a worthy heir." Alex joins Barbara DeMarco-Barrett to discuss father/son novels, writing short chapters, multiple perspectives, beginnings and endings, interiority, backstory, influences, and much more.

With his fantastic new novel, GONE TO THE WOLVES (FSG), John Wray explores the metal scene of the 1990s, from Gulf Coast Florida to LA to the wilds of Norway. We get into his history with metal (starting with AC/DC), why he wanted his lead characters to be fans with no aspirations to be musicians themselves, the coolness fallacy of authors writing about rock music, the brief era where a band like Cannibal Corpse could sell hundreds of thousands of records, and why this was his most fun book to write. We also talk about the theology of Norwegian black metal, this book's relationship to Denis Johnson's Tree of Smoke, his favorite drummer, and how he settled into Graham Greene's writing practice of having a word count for each day. Plus, we discuss his recurring neurotic breakdown when a book is in galleys, his realization that his parents did not take his writing seriously (when he was an 8th grader), the process of renovating a brownstone in Prospect Park and renting out rooms to other writers (like Nathan Englander), becoming a dad in recent years (and failing to teach his son how to fly a kite), the tension between writing the books he wants to write and selling more copies, the risk of getting sued by Vince Neil, and a lot more.

Live au Grand studio : l'artiste franco-tunisienne Amina interprète 2 titres de son dernier album avec Léonard Lasry au piano. Idem pour le songwriter canadien Patrick Watson. Notre première invitée est Amina pour la sortie de l'album La Lumière de mes choix (Believe Music / 29 Music). Apparue sur la scène musicale dans les années 80, faisant le lien entre la world music et la pop occidentale, Amina a déployé ses ailes dans les années 90. Que ce soit lors de son triomphe à l'Eurovision en 1ère ex-aequo, qu'au cinéma devant les caméras de Bernardo Bertolucci, Claude Lelouch ou Maiwen. Ses albums solo sont tous des succès critiques et publics. En 94, elle est la 3ème voix féminine sur l'album PARIS de Malcolm McLaren aux côtés de Catherine Deneuve et Françoise Hardy. Ses apparitions se firent soudainement plus rares au tournant des années 2000, mais Amina ne disparaît pas totalement. Pendant 10 ans, elle s'exile en Suède où elle réalise albums et concerts avec une formation Jazz (Norrbotten Jazz band). Les plans de carrière, Amina n'en fait pas, elle se fie à son instinct, à ses envies et à la profonde liberté qui l'habite. En 2016, elle rencontre Léonard Lasry et ensemble, ils enregistrent Radwoi pour une vidéo de la maison Cartier et démarrent ainsi la préparation d'un projet inédit leur permettant l'un l'autre d'explorer d'autres facettes de leurs musicalités.

Patrick Watson sort son septième album studio complet, Better in the Shade, via Secret City Records. Le CD ainsi qu'une version en édition limitée sur vinyle coloré paraîtront plus tard cette année. Parallèlement au lancement de l'album, Watson a aussi partagé un vidéoclip d'animation en volume (stop-motion) réalisé par Elisabeth Perrault pour la pièce titre. Selon Patrick Watson, Better in the Shade "est à propos de vivre dans un monde où l'on ne sait plus ce qui est réel. J'ai passé beaucoup de temps à lire afin d'améliorer mes paroles pour ce disque", raconte-t-il. "J'ai été fortement inspiré par Jesus' Son de Denis Johnson, The Waves de Virginia Woolf et Fever Dream de Samanta Schweblin. Les paroles rassemblent de petites pensées qui traversaient mon esprit. Nous avons multiplié les efforts pour réinventer nos arrangements, en intégrant une plus grande dimension électronique ", poursuit-il. "L'ajout de synthés modulaires a permis une approche plus chaleureuse, émouvante et fluide des sonorités électroniques, qui sonnent aussi acoustiques que le reste des instruments. Bref, j'ai refait mes classes au cours des deux dernières années afin d'apporter quelque chose de nouveau. Andrew des Barr Brothers joue de la batterie avec nous sur ce disque. C'était un plaisir de jouer avec un aussi talentueux musicien."  Patrick Watson compose, interprète et enregistre ses albums avec son collaborateur et musicien de longue date Mishka Stein. Lauréats du Prix de musique Polaris en 2007, en plus d'avoir reçu plusieurs nominations pour des Prix JUNO et le Polaris, Watson et son groupe ont joué sur tous les continents, parfois même avec des orchestres complets, pour donner vie à leur riche musique.

The novelist Jonathan Lethem listens here to recordings of his own New York State Writers Institute events over the past two decades. This propels conversation into wild places. It turns out that going into familiar moments—even listening to one's own voice—can prompt discoveries. There's a chance to find, as Lethem puts it, “worlds within the world.” William Kennedy describes a similar discovery here. Going back as a journalist to his hometown of Albany, NY, was “a revelation,” he says. The city that once bored him became, to the writer in search of stories, a place of proliferating character, of drama—a world full of worlds. You'll hear in this episode the reward of applying mind to matter. Says Lethem: “We have tables and chairs and apples and cherries and shirts and pants and socks, but everything else seems to me pretty much up for grabs. Once you put subjectivity and consciousness in the mix, it all gets pretty strange.” On this episode: Jonathan Lethem (conversation with Adam Colman). Books: Motherless Brooklyn and The Arrest. Samuel Delany (from the archives). Books: Dhalgren and Nova. Ann Beattie (from the archives). Books: What Was Mine and Another You. Denis Johnson (from the archives).

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we're featuring a special archival Q&A from the 47th New York Film Festival in 2009 with director Claire Denis and cast members Isaach de Bankolé & William Nadylam on White Material, moderated by Melissa Anderson. Claire Denis returns to NYFF for this year's 60th-anniversary edition with two films: the Main Slate selection, Stars at Noon, and the Revivals selection, No Fear No Die. Based on the 1986 novel by Denis Johnson, Stars at Noon represents a new mode for director Claire Denis, a contemporary thriller suffused with political intrigue and languid eroticism, moving entirely to the tactile rhythms of its actors, especially rising star Margaret Qualley, who gives a live-wire performance of fervid spontaneity and mercurial passion. No Fear No Die, Claire Denis's rarely screened second feature, is a radically physical cinematic journey into the shadowy (under)world of illegal cockfighting. Isaach De Bankole and Alex Descas star as Dah and Jocelyn, two immigrants (from Benin and French Antilles, respectively) living on the outskirts of Paris who earn money from cockfights. A very limited amount of NYFF60 Passes are now on sale! Single tickets will go on sale to the General Public on September 19, with pre-sale access for FLC Members and Pass holders prior to this date.  Listen to the discussion on the film below and don't forget to subscribe on iTunes, Spotify, or Stitcher for more filmmaker conversations.
