Sofia Samatar speaks with Kate Wolf about her new book Opacities: On Writing and the Writing Life. Opacities is addressed to a fellow writer, Samatar's close friend Kate Zambreno, and considers both the process of composing a book—the wellspring of inspiration, wishes and anxieties that accompany it— as well as the distance between a work and its author. Samatar explores how to stay alive as a writer through things such as community, extensive reading, and research alongside the dissonant ways writers are often asked to codify their identities and constantly promote themselves. Drawing on the words of writers like Eduard Glissant, Maurice Blanchot, Clarice Lispector, and Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Opacities is at heart a book about the furnace of creativity, and the fuel that keeps it burning despite its many trials, risks, and disappointments. Also, Eugene Lim, author of Fog and Car, returns to recommend Too Loud a Solitude by Bohumil Hrabal.

What has been the most painful experience of your life? Perhaps it was a physical injury, a messy break-up, the loss of a loved one or a bad season with your mental health. Something we will always ask in such experiences are, "why do I have to experience this?" Christmas is traditionally a time we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ & that is usually accompanied with much joy and hope. Yet, we see that darker Biblical reality surrounding Jesus' birth - as the jealous King Herod killed an entire generation of baby boys to prevent the future King of Jews from toppling him. Let's hear from Bro Eugene on how the Biblical understanding of pain has implications for us today. - Click here for different ways to connect with us.

Singapore offers foreign investors competitive access to the Asian market due to its favorable taxation policies and strategic location within Southeast Asia. Several free trade agreements with neighboring Asian nations are available to Singaporean businesses, in addition to over 80 double taxation avoidance agreements.Besides being a stable political and economic hub, Singapore is also an important financial center in ASEAN. International business and trade standards are mirrored by Singapore, such as those offered by the World Trade Organization and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.Although COVID-19-related risks continue to affect Singapore, it has emerged resilient as a direct gateway to the global market. The manufacturing and wholesale trade sectors are still strong, while the information and communications and finance industries are also healthy, driven by the increasing demand for digital solutions and payment processing services.Business opportunities, government incentives, and trade relations benefits make Singapore an excellent choice for companies looking to establish a holding company, branch office, or regional headquarters.We spoke with Eugene Lim, Co-Founder, Principal of WTS Taxise, and took a deeper look at the advantages and challenges of doing business in Singapore.To find out more about WTS Taxise, please visit https://taxiseasia.com/

This epiphany launches a series of adventures—interlaced with digressions about AI-generated fiction, virtual reality, Asian American identity in the arts, and lost parents—as an unlikely cast of accomplices and enemies pursues the mysterious canine. In elliptical, propulsive prose, Search History plumbs the depths of personal and collective consciousness, questioning what we consume, how we grieve, and the stories we tell ourselves.

The novel begins with the friendship between two young, Asian American boys in a small, Midwestern town who bond over their outcast status and shared love of comic books. Meanwhile, in an alternate or perhaps future universe, a team of superheroes debates the efficacy of protest and swaps stories of artistic ennui on their lunch breaks. Recalling the work of Tom McCarthy and Valeria Luiselli, Eugene Lim gleefully toys with narrative conventions—blending Hollywood chase scenes with sharp cultural critiques, hard-boiled detective pulps with subversive philosophy. Unfolding like the revelations of a dream, Dear Cyborgs weaves together the story of a friendship’s dissolution with provocative and lively meditations on creativity and political dissent. Praise for Dear Cyborgs  “Eugene Lim’s Dear Cyborgs is a mad badass fan letter to comicdom and a chastening reminder of how America’s greatest fantasy doesn’t involve superheroes with superpowers but the prospect of a fair and honest political life. Go read it in the streets.” —Joshua Cohen, author of Book of Numbers “Eugene Lim tells his sly superhero tales in a kind of hard-boiled deadpan—a voice at once incongruously comic and playfully soulful. Beneath the dry wit there’s an ache of loneliness, an echo of every comic-book reader’s yearning for the camaraderie of the super team, the intimate enmity of the nemesis.” —Peter Ho Davies, author of The Fortunes “Eugene Lim’s Dear Cyborgs is a secret tunnel fresh with cool, strange storms. What is it to be super? What is it to be beyond? Dear Cyborgs is ripe with mysteries, heroes, even heartache.” —Samantha Hunt, author of Mr. Splitfoot “[An] entertaining reflection on art, resistance, heroes, and villains . . . [Dear Cyborgs] is eerily reflective of our fractured times, darting from subject to subject with the speed of a mouse click. A colorful meditation on friendship and creation nested within a fictional universe.” —Kirkus Reviews Eugene Lim is the author of two novels, Fog & Car and The Strangers. His writing has appeared in Fence, the Denver Quarterly, Little Star, Dazed, The Brooklyn Rail, and elsewhere. He is the founder and managing editor of Ellipsis Press and works as a librarian in a high school. He lives in Queens, New York. Harold Abramowitz is from Los Angeles.  His books include Blind Spot, Not Blessed, Dear Dearly Departed, Man’s Wars And Wickedness: A Book of Proposed Remedies & Extreme Formulations for Curing Hostility, Rivalry, & Ill-Will (with Amanda Ackerman), and UNFO Burns A Million Dollars. Harold co-edits the short-form literary press eohippus labs, and writes and edits as part of the collaborative projects, SAM OR SAMANTHA YAMS and UNFO. Janice Lee is the author of KEROTAKIS (Dog Horn Press, 2010), Daughter (Jaded Ibis, 2011), Damnation (Penny-Ante Editions, 2013), Reconsolidation (Penny-Ante Editions, 2015), and most recently the essay collection The Sky Isn’t Blue (Civil Coping Mechanisms, 2016).

We'd both just wrapped up our entrainments and we were both rather energized when our chis collided in the waiting room. We got to chattin'. Turns out he is part of a fencing school that helps a lot of kids do better in this life using what they learn from practicing the sport. He was very passionate about all that this school does and how it affects the kids. (Here comes a key point.) But he was only sharing this with me. One guy! Alone! What would happen if he told that exact same story to me but on this podcast, where thousands will eventually hear it, if not one day millions? Think about that. Think about what that would mean for you and your story or mission. Off the back of that thought, you can understand why I (subtly) tried my damnedest to get him to agree to being interviewed on this show. I got nowhere with that, for now. And I let it lie. For now.

How does music resemble food? How can sound work like medicine? To treat chronic digestive pain, producer Ross Simonini tried everything until visiting hypnotherapist Daniel Ryan, who uses only the sound of his voice through a technique shared by orators, monks, musicians, parents—and magician David Blaine. We also learn about the psychoacoustics of lawn sprinklers with Susan Rogers, a sound engineer who's recorded albums for David Byrne, Barenaked Ladies, Tricky, and, most famously, Prince's albums Purple Rain and Sign o' the Times. Rogers is one of the most legendary female sound engineers in an industry long dominated by men. These days, she's also a professor at the Berklee School of Music, where she researches how our brains process sound.
