Though the last twelve episodes have taken Marina Warner and her interlocutors through many worlds and texts, no series could ever encompass the full scope of fantastic literature. This episode, recorded live at Swedenborg House, is an attempt to fill the gaps, or fail heroically. Marina and Adam Thirlwell are joined by Edwin Frank, editorial director of the New York Review Books and author of ‘Stranger than Fiction: Lives of the Twentieth Century Novel'. Together they assess existing canons and definitions, redefine and rediscover categories and exceptions, and consider the pleasures and uses of the fantastic.

Episode 58 Why does fiction sometimes feel prophetic? Why do movies, television shows, and novels seem to echo real-world events before they happen? In this episode of Conspiracy Theoryology, we explore the idea of predictive programming and the belief that media subtly prepares the public for future events by embedding them in stories long before they unfold. Rather than asking whether predictive programming is real or intentional, this episode asks a deeper question: why does the idea resonate so strongly in a culture shaped by mistrust, uncertainty, and information overload? By examining the psychology of pattern recognition, the relationship between fiction and reality, and the human need for narrative coherence, this episode looks beyond coincidence and conspiracy to uncover what predictive programming reveals about belief itself.

Hva er likheten mellom Lily Allens snakkisalbum West End Girl og Sigrid Undset, Sylvia Plath, Miranda July og Mary Shelley?Den britiske popartisten Lily Allens skilsmissealbum West End Girl har skapt storm siden det kom i oktober, så til de grader at vi nå befinner oss i en såkalt «West End Girl Winter».De fjorten sangene forteller om eksmannen og Stranger Things-skuespilleren David Harbours svik og parets påfølgende skilsmisse, i et brutalt og selvransakende oppgjør med tiden de hadde sammen og med samfunnets forestillinger om den moderne kvinnen. I musikkens verden er oppbruddsplater en lang tradisjon, og Allen selv har omtalt albumet som autofiksjon – fiksjon tett knyttet til egne erfaringer.Forfatter og litteraturprofessor Janne Stigen Drangsholt mener derimot at albumet ikke enkelt kan leses som et stykke virkeligheteslitteratur, og vil i dette foredraget heller trekke linjer mellom Allen og forfattere som Mary Shelley, Virginia Woolf, Sigrid Undset, Sylvia Plath og popmusikkens Taylor Swift. Hva har alle disse til felles? Finnes egentlig den moderne kvinnen?Litteraturliste fra foredraget:W. H. Auden – «Letter to Lord Byron» (1937)Jane Austen – Pride and Prejudice (1813) Zygmunt Bauman – Liquid Modernity (2000)Charlotte Brontë – Jane Eyre (1847)Emily BrontëSabrina CarpenterCharles DarwinFriedrich EngelsWilliam Godwin Ted HughesMiranda July – All Fours (2024)Immanuel KantKarl MarxJohn Stuart Mill – The Subjection of Women (1869)Toril Moi – «Kjærlighetstortur.

This week in the Louisiana Anthology. Walter Bowie. Col. James Bowie. "The Sandbar Fight." After two ineffectual exchanges of shots, Wells and Maddox shook hands, but Cuney stepped forward and said to Colonel Crain, “This is a good time to settle our difficulty;” Bowie and Wright also drew, and the firing became general. Crain killed Cuney and shot Bowie through the hip. Bowie drew his knife and rushed upon Colonel Crain. The latter, clubbing his empty pistol, dealt such a terrific blow upon Bowie's head as to bring him to his knees and break the weapon. Before the latter could recover he was seized by Dr. Maddox, who held him down for some moments, but, collecting his strength, he hurled Maddox off just as Major Wright approached and fired at the wounded Bowie, who, steadying himself against a log, half buried in the sand, fired at Wright, the ball passing through the latter's body. Wright then drew a sword-cane, and, rushing upon Bowie, exclaimed, “damn you, you have killed me.” Bowie met the attack, and, seizing his assailant, plunged his “bowie-knife” into his body, killing him instantly. At the same moment Edward Blanchard shot Bowie in the body, but had his arm shattered by a ball from Jefferson Wells. This week in Louisiana history. December 13, 2009.

This is one of my favorite conversations in recent memory — with the writer Zadie Smith. Smith is the author of novels, including “White Teeth,” “On Beauty” and “NW,” as well as many essays and short stories. Her ability to give language to the kinds of quiet battles that live inside of ourselves is part of why she's been one of my favorite writers for years.“We absolutely need to gather in our identity groups sometimes for our freedoms, for our civil rights. There's absolutely no doubt about that. But for that role to be the thing that is you existentially all the way down — that is something that I personally believe all human beings revolt from at some level,” she told me when we spoke last September, shortly before Trump's re-election.It's ideas like these that I found interesting to revisit now, in a starkly different political climate. In this conversation, we discuss Smith's novel, “The Fraud,” which Smith wrote with Trump and populism front of mind; what populism is really channeling; why Smith refuses the “bait” of wokeness; how people have been “modified” by smartphones and social media; and more.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:Feel Free by Zadie Smith“Fascinated to Presume: In Defense of Fiction” by Zadie SmithAmusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman“Generation Why?” by Zadie SmithBook Recommendations:The Director by Daniel KehlmannThe Rebel's Clinic by Adam ShatzThe Diaries of Virginia WoolfThoughts?

We do have our favorite but surely wouldn't mind if Thomas Pynchon won the Nobel Prize too . . . and in Episode 32 we finish off 2025 by considering Shadow Ticket, the noir detective take on the 1930s by a writer who was surely a key influence on the early DeLillo (we read from an unpublished DeLillo letter summarizing that relationship) but who also seems to have been reading works like Running Dog over the years (or so we imagine in unpacking Shadow Ticket scenes invoking Chaplin and a “German Political Celebrity” named Hitler). We try to understand how Pynchon's latest examination of historical and potential fascism works in its 1932 setting, ranging from Milwaukee to Hungary, where reluctant protagonist and “sentimental ape” and “sap” Hicks McTaggart keeps adding on to his P.I. “tickets” in a strange search for a Wisconsin heiress and her Jewish musician lover but also what might ultimately be justice (a far from simple thing). Shadow Ticket is loads of serious fun, where Pynchon manages to examine the direst of turning points amidst scenes of bowling alley and motorcycle lore, dairy strikes, Prohibition's black markets, dance hall and speakeasy glamour, and something called “Radio-Cheez.” Bela Lugosi, vampires, a beautiful pig in a sidecar, and some of the most tasteless lamps in the world also play a role. The real content here for Hicks, though, is the prospect of spiritual and other forms of peace in a world where weapons from clubs to guns and submarines operate according to mysterious laws of “apport” and “asport,” occult material that interweaves with Hicks's strike-breaking past and raises connections to Gravity's Rainbow. Is Hicks's fellow orphan and young protégé Skeet Wheeler the father of Vineland's Zoyd, headed out to California as the novel ends? What's the meaning of Hicks failing to return to his home country, and what does cheese gangster Bruno Airmont's submarine fate have to do with Bleeding Edge? Are Hungary's shifting borders a new kind of “Zone”? What's going on in the novel's many Statue of Liberty references and its anachronistic allusions to a “Face Tube” for flirtation in bars? And how does this always funny writer, now in his late eighties, keep coming up with all these absurd songs (we sing some) and hilarious mock-movies like the one featuring “Squeezita Thickly” swimming in soup pots (Shirley Temple, is that you?)? Teasing out many connections to Gravity's Rainbow, Against the Day, and Vineland, this episode makes reference to just about all of Pynchon's other works, including even V. and his earliest short stories. At the same time, you need come to it with nothing but an interest in Pynchon's life and work. We doubt that we get every reference to history or previous Pynchon right or mount interpretations we won't later want to revise, but on this brand-new and captivating late work from a masterful author, we hope in nearly three hours of deep conversation and laughter that we've made a good start on the many critical readings to come. A partial list of references and quotations that we mention or paraphrase in this episode . . . On “prefascist twilight”: “And other grandfolks could be heard arguing the perennial question of whether the United States still lingered in a prefascist twilight, or whether that darkness had fallen long stupefied years ago, and the light they thought they saw was coming only from millions of Tubes all showing the same bright-colored shadows. One by one, as other voices joined in, the names began, some shouted, some accompanied by spit, the old reliable names good for hours of contention, stomach distress, and insomnia – Hitler, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Nixon, Hoover, Mafia, CIA, Reagan, Kissinger, that collection of names and their tragic interweaving that stood not constellated above in any nightwide remoteness of light, but below, diminished to the last unfaceable American secret, to be pressed, each time deeper, again and again beneath the meanest of random soles, one blackly fermenting leaf on the forest floor that nobody wanted to turn over, because of all that lived, virulent, waiting, just beneath.” (Pynchon, Vineland (1990)) On “second sheep”: “Our common nightmare The Bomb is in there too. It was bad enough in '59 and is much worse now, as the level of danger has continued to grow. There was never anything subliminal about it, then or now. Except for that succession of the criminally insane who have enjoyed power since 1945, including the power to do something about it, most of the rest of us poor sheep have always been stuck with simple, standard fear. I think we all have tried to deal with this slow escalation of our helplessness and terror in the few ways open to us, from not thinking about it to going crazy from it. Somewhere on this spectrum of impotence is writing fiction about it.” (Pynchon, “Introduction,” Slow Learner (1984)) The “Sloth essay paragraph” mentioned midway through: “In this century we have come to think of Sloth as primarily political, a failure of public will allowing the introduction of evil policies and the rise of evil regimes, the worldwide fascist ascendancy of the 1920's and 30's being perhaps Sloth's finest hour, though the Vietnam era and the Reagan-Bush years are not far behind. Fiction and nonfiction alike are full of characters who fail to do what they should because of the effort involved. How can we not recognize our world? Occasions for choosing good present themselves in public and private for us every day, and we pass them by. Acedia is the vernacular of everyday moral life.” (Pynchon, “Nearer, My Couch, To Thee” (1993)) Don DeLillo Papers, Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas-Austin The Motherland Calls statue, Volgograd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Motherland_Calls Pareidolia defined: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia
George Packer is one of the most celebrated non-fiction writers on contemporary America. So why, in his new book The Emergency, has he turned to fiction? You'd think, after all, that MAGA America's surrealism would be an ideal nonfictional canvas for a writer with Packer's observational gifts. But, as Packer explains, when facts fail a society, then - like Orwell or Atwood - a writer might be obliged to turn to fiction. This emergency, then, begot The Emergency. This is a public episode.

Two ordinary transport technicians, working their first shift together, are assigned to drive a high-profile prisoner. Genre: Science Fiction Excerpt: "Proximites and humans are both relatively fragile species—no offense—when it comes to space travel. But here on solid earth…well, you're still fragile, but you have certain qualities that come in handy should there be any problems with this particular prisoner."

At middle, a human man sitting on the ground, facing forward, turned slightly to right of frame, wearing jacket, pants, and boots. His left leg is drawn up and his hand rests on his knee. His right leg is extended, partially bent. A bandage is wrapped around his right thigh. His right palm is pressed to the ground beside him, supporting his weight. His face is looking down. Two characters hover beside him at the level of his head. At left, a sphere. Near the bottom of the sphere are two recesses with domed tops and flat bottoms. Within the recesses are smaller spheres, giving the appearance of eyes. Next to one eye, from a circular recess, a jointed appendage made of rods and nodes extends down. Liquid leaks from two of the recesses. At right, a face divided into three parts with one eye, one nose, and a mouth on each part. Each part is elongated.

In a world where faith and creativity often seem at odds, Jesús Canchola Sánchez's journey offers a compelling narrative of reconciliation and growth. Growing up in a Catholic family in Chicago, Jesús's early life was steeped in religious tradition. However, like many teenagers, he rebelled against these teachings, embarking on a journey that would take him far from the church and into the realms of leftist ideologies and diverse belief systems.His exploration led him to Cuba, where he was exposed to communism, and later to New York City, where he immersed himself in a liberal arts education and the vibrant creative scene. Despite his distance from the church, Jesús found solace in the quiet moments spent in its presence, a testament to the enduring power of his grandmother's faith.As a creative, Jesús's journey was marked by significant achievements, including the production of a film in Mexico and the publication of a children's book. Yet, it was his return to Chicago and the church that marked a turning point. Embracing his faith once more, Jesús found a renewed sense of purpose, leading to the creation of his debut novel, "Escape from Natura Meta."Set in a dystopian future, the novel explores themes of faith, identity, and societal manipulation, reflecting Jesús's own journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. As he continues to develop his voice and share stories that resonate with his faith, Jesús's journey serves as an inspiring reminder of the power of creativity and belief.Subscribe now to follow more stories of faith and creativity.

Yes, the CIA tortured inmates suspected of terrorism in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Two of the primary men involved with creating this program are Mormon, one was called to be a Bishop after taking $81mn from the government to torture people. We discuss the report, how it came to light, some of the key figures along the way, and the fight over the FOIA release of the report in the courts. After that we talk about The Report, wherein Adam Driver plays Dan Jones who led the investigation at the direction of Senator Dianne Feinstein. Then we have some happy news about libraries getting funding that was promised to them.
