Even if all you can manage is twenty minutes of peaceful reading time, your brain will thank you. At the moment I'm especially stunned and moved by the work of Willy Vlautin. I guess he's the best American novelist writing right now. Check out The Night Always Comes but brace yourself – this novel comes hard for your heart. It's about one violent, bewildering, endless evening in the life of a young woman living on the ragged edge of poverty, and it left me staggered." "I'm a horror guy, so no one will be surprised to hear that so far my favorite movie of the year has been Evil Dead Rise. It's really a film about the dissolution of the American Family… by way of woodchipper and chainsaw. Fellini it ain't; more like a bloody, gore-clogged, R-rated episode of The Three Stooges. So it's not for all tastes – but it suits mine just fine." "For a long time, I wrote with the stereo on and the volume turned way up. AC/DC and Led Zeppelin were my noise of choice. These days, though, I tend to work in silence, the better to hear the voices in my head (and one of the best things about being a writer is I can spend all day listening to imaginary voices and I get paid for it instead of locked up). But when I'm doing some light revision, I might throw on some moody indie singer-songwriter stuff full of heartache and distorted guitar. The record by boygenius fits the bill and has been in regular rotation since it came out." --- Never miss an event!

For six-year-old Esther and Fanya, the teeming streets of New York's Lower East Side circa 1910 are both a fascinating playground and a place where life's lessons are learned quickly and often cruelly. Leela Recommends “I am a recommendations factory!” Places to visit in Florida: The Springs! Visit with care and gentleness for their fragile ecosystems and be amazed at their hallucinatory beauty. They're Florida's best-kept secret! Chamblin's Book Mine in Jacksonville. Hear Again Records, the amazing Third House Books, and Volta Coffee, all in Gainesville. Podcasts Leela Recommends: Maintenance Phase! Essential listening for debunking all the wellness pseudoscience, diet culture, and anti-fatness we all grew up with. The BMI episode alone should be required listening. Plus it's very funny!   Conspirituality, a weekly deep dive into the intersection of cults, yoga and wellness culture, right-wing extremism, mis- and disinformation, and politics. On The Media, essential investigative journalism and media literacy. Reveal, one of the best investigative journalism podcasts I've heard, especially in the areas of systemic racism and abuses of power in the US, hosted by the fantastic Al Letson, who I believe is a Florida native. [Editor's note: An Orange Park High School grad!] Artists Leela Recommends: Wangechi Mutu Clarity Haynes Jinal Sangoi Jeanne Mammen Joan Semmel William Kentridge Kara Walker Television Leela Recommends: Reservation Dogs, a funny and heartbreaking series about contemporary Indigenous life in Oklahoma, created and starring Indigenous folks. Pose, set in the queer ballroom scene of New York in the late 1980s and early 90s, starring, among other greats, national treasure Billy Porter. This is going to sound strange, but I'm really into German detective shows on Netflix, especially Dogs Of Berlin, Same Sky, NSU German History X, and Kleo, all of which deal in various ways with the end of the Cold War, the rise of racist movements after the Wall fell, and the complexities of immigration and contemporary Germany. CW for violence and depictions of racism. Severance is an excellent sci-fi, reminiscent of the very best of Philip K Dick's work. Films/Directors Leela Recommends: Pedro Almodóvar Fatih Akin Ildiko Enyedi Jim Jarmusch Preston Sturges Busby Berkeley That documentary about Little Richard, I Am Everything. What a beautiful person he was!  Music Leela Recommends:  Come, the best band of the 1990s, who've been re-issuing their back catalog and playing reunion shows everywhere. Bill Orcutt Quartet, "Music For Four Guitars", very up my Branca/Verlaine alley. Chris Brokaw, "Puritan". Thurston Moore Group. Prose Leela Recommends: Lisa Carver books. Jewish Currents magazine, the best of contemporary diaspora thought and politics. Girls They Write Songs About by Carlene Bauer, the most pitch-perfect Gen X novel I have yet encountered. This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen, by Tadeusz Borowski. A corrosive work written a few years after the author's release from Auschwitz, that is required reading for high school students in Poland. Comic Creators Leela Recommends: Emil Ferris Lauren Weinstein Rina Ayuyang Megan Kelso Jaime Hernandez 4Ever! Miscellaneous Recommendations: Casey Johnston's newsletter She's A Beast, in which she writes about weight lifting, debunking and dismantling diet culture and fitness pseudoscience and anti-fatness, and celebrates getting swole.     --- Never miss an event!
