Did you think we already knew everything there was to know about Virginia Woolf? Think again! In this episode, Jacke talks to scholar and editor Urmila Seshagiri about The Life of Violet: Three Early Stories, which presents three interconnected comic stories chronicling the adventures of a giantess named Violet, which Woolf wrote in 1907, eight years before she published her first novel. The story of Seshagiri's discovery is nearly as fantastical as the stories themselves. PLUS literary biographer Jake Poller (Christopher Isherwood: A Critical Life) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read.

When novelist Maggie O'Farrell learned that Shakespeare had a son who died just a few years before he wrote “Hamlet” — and that history books barely mentioned it — she wanted to find out more. That led her to write the bestselling novel “Hamnet,” which has now been adapted into a new film starring Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley. Maggie joins Tom Power to tell us how her Hamnet story came to be, what Shakespeare might have been trying to tell us by naming his play after his son, and why she waited until her own son was past the age that Hamnet was when he died to start writing her novel.

In this episode of Horror Joy' Meet Your Maker series, Jeff and Brian welcome author Chris Dileo to discuss his new book, Empty Devils (Cabelo Books, 2025), and his deeply personal relationship with horror. Dileo emphasizes that reading is a process of cooperation between the reader's imagination and the writer's world. He discusses how he used Empty Devils to distill the national tragedy at the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in 2017 into a horror narrative. Jeff and Chris also chop it up over teaching Shakespeare and how the bard shows up in the story. Ultimately, all three find joy in the project of reading, writing, and celebrating how the horror genre allows us to work through difficult and sometimes violent political and ideological activity in the real world.***Chris Dileo's Books from the Coffin***Cat Delaney – Unclaimed PropertyKiller on the Road – Stephen Graham JonesPhilip Fracassi - Autumn Springs Retirement Home MassacreSam Rabelein – Galloway's GospelKeith Rosson – Coffin MoonKat Silva – Where the Soul GoesJonathan Janz - Veil

Chloé Zhao was the second woman to ever win an Oscar for Best Director, for her 2020 film “Nomadland.” After taking a wide turn to create the Marvel supernatural epic “Eternals,” Zhao has taken another intriguing change of direction with “Hamnet,” based on Maggie O'Farrell's novel about how William Shakespeare coped with the death of his only son. In conversation with the New Yorker staff writer Michael Schulman, Zhao discusses the role that nature plays in her filmmaking, from the American West to the forests of Britain; the process of adapting manga to film; and how neurodivergence informs her creative process.New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

For this week's main podcast review, Megan Lachinski, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, and Brendan Hodges join me to discuss the latest film from Academy Award-winner Chloé Zhao, "Hamnet," starring Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn, Jacobi Jupe, and Noah Jupe. The historical drama film co-written by Maggie O'Farrell, the author of the title novel this film is based on is a largely fictional story dramatizing the marriage between Anne Hathaway (Agnes Hathaway in the novel and film) and William Shakespeare, and the impact of the tragic death of their 11-year-old son Hamnet on their relationship, which inspired Shakespeare's iconic play "Hamlet." The film had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival and has been drawing tears from audiences everywhere it plays, including the Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the People's Choice Award.

"Le parole della pioggia" di Laura Imai Messina e "La volta giusta" di Lorenza Gentile"Innanzitutto diciamo: sono nata in un giorno di pioggia. Solo allora impugniamo l'immenso ombrello che ci sovrasta, allunghiamo il piede in strada e prendiamo a camminare con loro per la città". A parlare sono le cosiddette "donne ombrello" che si possono prenotare attraverso una app in caso di pioggia improvvisa. Le "donne ombrello" sono le protagoniste del piccolo romanzo "Le parole della pioggia" (Einaudi) scritto da Laura Imai Messina con le illustrazioni di Emiliano Ponzi. È una sorta di favola delicata, ambientata a Tokyo.Ancora una volta Laura Imai Messina ci porta nel Giappone dove vive da oltre vent'anni. Mentre queste donne accompagnano qualcuno in caso di pioggia, sotto l'ombrello si crea uno spazio intimo, fuori dal tempo, in cui si può stare in silenzio, si può conversare del più e del meno oppure si possono condividere pezzi di vita interiore. Spesso, però, le "donne ombrello", che sono studentesse, casalinghe, disoccupate, si vergognano di questo lavoro. Tranne una, Aya. Per lei essere una "donna ombrello" è veramente una vocazione. Nella seconda parte parliamo di "La volta giusta" (Feltrinelli) di Lorenza Gentile che avevamo già conosciuto con romanzi come "Le piccole libertà" che parlava della libreria Shakespeare & Co. di Parigi, "Le cose che ci salvano" e "Tutto il bello che ci aspetta". Il romanzo racconta di un "comune polvere", ossia un piccolo borgo che rischia di scomparire per lo spopolamento (ci abitano solo 15 persone). Lucilla e il compagno Enrico vincono un bando per riavviare una vecchia locanda con annesso negozio di alimentari e quattro camere. Un progetto condiviso, almeno all'apparenza, perché Enrico si tira indietro e Lucilla resta da sola a realizzare un progetto che però era di qualcun altro. Del resto lei si è sempre adeguata ai fidanzati che ha avuto, ai loro sogni, alle loro esigenze. Lucilla è una giovane donna piena di insicurezze, non si sente mai "abbastanza", pensa di avere qualcosa di sbagliato, ha un profondo senso di inadeguatezza. Ma di fronte all'abbandono di Enrico deve prendere una decisione: mollare tutto, deludendo però gli abitanti del piccolo borgo, oppure rimboccarsi le maniche e andare avanti da sola. Una storia di rinascita di una donna che si chiede "cosa è importante per me?".

This is what Perplexity.ai says:Cherry trees in South Korea do produce fruit, but it depends on the variety. Native species like King cherry (Prunus yedoensis var. Nudiflora) and Korean mountain cherry (Prunus maximowiczii) produce edible fruit. The King cherry, native especially to Jeju Island, bears fruit but is primarily valued for its blossoms. Many ornamental varieties like the Yoshino cherry produce small, bitter fruit less suitable for human consumption, but can feed wildlife.Summary:* Native Korean cherries produce edible fruit.* Ornamental varieties mainly produce less palatable fruit.ConnectSend me an anonymous voicemail at SpeakPipe.com/FTaponYou can post comments, ask questions, and sign up for my newsletter athttps://wanderlearn.comIf you like this podcast, subscribe and share!On social media, my username is always FTapon.

THE CLASSIC UPDATE OF SHAKESPEARE'S TAMING OF THE SHREW!! 10 Things I Hate About You Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Gift Someone (Or Yourself) A Stranger Things RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 Vecna: The Mind Slayer tee by @G9DESIGN & Dr. Stranger Things tee by @SASAMIIKU — perfect for hardcore fans & collectors alike Greg & Aaron trip the light ROMANTIC as they reunite for a 10 Things I Hate About You Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review! Aaron Alexander & Gregory Alba dive into the sharp, romantic, endlessly quotable teen classic that helped define a generation of 90s/early-2000s cinema. Join Aaron & Greg as they revisit Gil Junger's modern retelling of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, starring Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight, A Knight's Tale) in his breakout role as the rebellious and charming Patrick Verona, and Julia Stiles (Save the Last Dance, Dexter) as fiercely independent Kat Stratford. The film also features Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception, Looper) as Cameron, Larisa Oleynik (The Secret World of Alex Mack) as Bianca, and David Krumholtz (The Santa Clause, Numb3rs) and Allison Janney (I, Tonya, The West Wing) in unforgettable supporting roles. Aaron & Greg break down the film's most iconic and beloved moments: Patrick's legendary “Can't Take My Eyes Off You” serenade on the bleachers, Kat's emotional reading of the poem that gives the movie its name, Bianca punching Joey Donner in the face, Cameron's sweet-but-awkward attempts to win Bianca's heart, and the Stratford family's hilariously strict house rules. They explore how the film blends whip-smart humor, heartfelt coming-of-age storytelling, and timeless themes of trust, identity, and self-expression — all wrapped in peak 90s energy and one of the greatest high-school soundtracks of all time.

We remember guitarist, songwriter, and producer Steve Cropper, who helped create the Memphis soul sound of the ‘60s and ‘70s. He died this week at age 84. Stax Records produced soul hits by Booker T. & the M.G.s, Sam & Dave, Isaac Hayes, and more. Cropper spoke with Terry Gross in 1990 about how he became part of the house rhythm section, and went on to help write hits for Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett.  Also, we remember the celebrated English playwright Tom Stoppard, who was considered a giant of theatre. He died at age 88. Stoppard wrote ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' and ‘The Real Thing,' and the screenplays for ‘Empire of the Sun' and ‘Shakespeare in Love.'Jazz historian Kevin Whitehead pays tribute to jazz organist Jimmy Smith, and John Powers reviews the new Brazilian film ‘The Secret Agent.'Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

On this week's episode we get a different twist on a classic Shakespeare tale. Matt Poirier from Direct to Video Connoisseur joins us to discuss the 2001 take on Macbeth...Scotland, PA. We also have our movie recommendations and our trivia game. 

At the start of Shakespeare's famous tragedy, King Lear promises to divide his kingdom based on his daughters' professions of love, but he portions it out before hearing all of their answers. For Nan Da, a professor of English literature who emigrated from China to the United States as a child in the 1990s, this startling opening scene sparked a reckoning between Shakespeare's cruel and confounding story and the tragedy of Maoist and post-Maoist China. In this episode, Jacke talks to Nan about her book The Chinese Tragedy of King Lear.

Since it was penned more than four hundred years ago, Shakespeare's “Hamlet” has been in production nearly continuously, and has been adapted in many ways. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider why this story of a brooding young prince has continued to speak to audiences throughout the centuries. They discuss the new film “Hamnet,” directed by Chloé Zhao, which recasts the writing of “Hamlet” as Shakespeare's response to the death of his child; Tom Stoppard's absurdist play “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead”; Michael Almereyda's 2000 “Hamlet,” which presents the protagonist as a melancholy film student home from college; and other adaptations. What accounts for this story's hold over audiences, centuries after it was written? “I think it endures because every generation has its version of the incomprehensible,” Cunningham says. “It's not just death—it's politics, it's society. Everybody has to deal with their own version of ‘This does not make sense and yet it is.' ”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Hamnet” (2025)“Hamnet,” by Maggie O'Farrell“Hamlet,” by William ShakespeareKenneth Branagh's “Hamlet” (1996) Michael Almereyda's “Hamlet” (2000)“Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” (1990)John Gielgud's “Hamlet” (1964)Robert Icke's “Hamlet” (2017, 2022)“Every Generation Gets the Shakespeare It Deserves” by Drew Lichtenberg (The New York Times)“Hamlet and His Problems" by T.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA JÓVENES 2025“HOY ES TENDENCIA”Narrado por: Daniel RamosDesde: Connecticut, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================05 de DiciembreAmigos«Ustedes ahora son mis amigos, porque les he contado todo lo que el Padre me dijo». Juan 15: 15, NTVAunque solo tiene cinco letras, «amigo» es una de las palabras más grandes del lenguaje humano. La influencia que ejercen tus amigos puede llevarte a alcanzar el éxito o arruinarte por completo. Permíteme contarte dos ejemplos personales. En el verano de 2005 fui a colportar a la ciudad de Nueva York. Pocos días después de haber llegado, mi amigo Carlos Mieses me llamó aparte para darme un consejo. «Jorge -me dijo-, veo que te cohíbes a la hora de expresarte en inglés y yo sé que has tomado cursos. No tengas miedo si no tienes un acento "perfecto", aquí nadie habla bien. Los chinos hablan con un acento, los árabes con otro... ¡hasta los estadounidenses tienen su acento! Habla como te salga y si dices algo mal, yo te corrijo». Acepté el consejo de Carlitos y gracias a él hoy puedo expresarme con soltura y fluidez en el idioma de Shakespeare.Adelantando al año 2011, Dios me estaba preparando para ser editor, aunque yo todavía no lo sabía. Cuando decidí adquirir un libro para mejorar mi español, Moisés Valdez, un gran amigo, decidió obsequiarme el volumen que andaba buscando. «Toma -me dijo, sé que este libro será una bendición para ti». Como resultado de ese gesto de mi amigo hoy sirvo como editor y tú estás leyendo estas líneas. ¡Definitivamente, estos dos amigos cambiaron para siempre el curso de mi vida!Jim Rohn dijo: «Eres el promedio de las cinco personas con las que pasas más tiempo». Así las cosas, ¿¿no crees que deberíamos cuidar más el proceso de selección de nuestros amigos? Las personas con las que pasamos tiempo nos influyen más de lo que creemos. Fíjate en tus amigos más íntimos y en tu familia. ¿Te elevan y te inspiran, o te hunden?Si al leer los párrafos anteriores te has dado cuenta de que necesitas nuevos y mejores amigos permíteme recomendarte uno: Jesús de Nazaret. Él no tiene problemas con ser «amigo de gente de mala fama» (Mateo 11: 19), pues sabe que su influencia puede cambiar los corazones. Él nos ama tanto que dio su vida por nosotros, sus amigos (ver Juan 15: 13). Jesús es el mejor Amigo que puedes tener y el que puede marcar un mayor impacto positivo en ti. Ahora que sabes eso, ¿quiénes ocuparán los otros cuatro puestos en tu vida?

We can see Shakespeare's plays on stage, but can we "see" Shakespeare? A new uncovered portrait dating from the late sixteenth century might give us a way way to see Shakespeare?

The divide between people who review things for a living and regular folk has existed since before Robert Green called Shakespeare “an upstart crow” back in 1592. The years since have brought us Mozart (“too many notes”), Psycho (“falls quite flat”) and Taylor Swift's discography, post-folklore.It sounds like we can add Wicked: For Good to the list. The second half of the movie based on the Broadway production based on the 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire has put critics on one side of the yellow brick road and fans on the other. Fortunately, we have just the duo to close that gap.Dori and Kpolly step into this episode relatively fresh from seeing the final chapter of the green-and-pink saga, and play out the internal struggle of critic vs. fan for your listening enjoyment. Despite imbibing Wicked: For Good with a side of critical pans and outright distaste, our duo's take is a horse of a different color. Listen to their full report, and make sure you stick around until the end for more recommendations and special details about the Cinebuds Live event coming up Dec. 11. Actually, we'll just give you that second part now: If you haven't gotten your ticket for the very exciting screening of Scrooged and live taping of the podcast at the Oriental Theatre, go to the Milwaukee Film website and enter the creative code “SCROOGED” at checkout for $3 off.#####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Garage Door Company.

Joe Escalante's weekly poke into the business end of showbiz... This week: Zootopia 2 knocks Wicked for Life out of the driver's seat, taking #1 at the Box Office this weekend. Joe saw Wicked for Life, and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially because there were fewer ugly people in it. Joe also enjoyed Hamnet, about the son of Shakespeare... Melania Trump has a new movie coming out in about a month. Amazon paid $40 million for it, and we're certain it was all spent on the products of her immense talent.

This episode offers a range of practical ideas, advice and teaching techniques for engaging students in the work of William Shakespeare – both in the English classroom and across the school. Produced in partnership with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the episode features a panel of experts and educators who discuss how we can make Shakespeare enjoyable for our students. We talk about Shakespeare's place across the school, in the English and drama classrooms of course, but also in other places such as the assembly hall and extra-curricular work. We offer a range of teaching tips and ways we can make Shakespeare enjoyable and engaging for students, including how we can help them to penetrate the vocabulary of Shakespeare, how Shakespeare can support oracy education, and ideas for how we can introduce Shakespeare effectively in key stage 3. Crucially, we also ask what we should avoid doing when teaching Shakespeare and ask how we can show students the relevance of Shakespeare in today's world. This episode has been produced to mark the launch of RSC's new Shakespeare Curriculum platform, which brings you the next generation of digital resources to support your teaching of Shakespeare. It is free to access for state-maintained schools and SEN schools. More details at the end of the podcast or via: www.shakespearecurriculum.com

Hamnet, the acclaimed novel by Maggie O'Farrell, is now a major film. The story imagines the life and death of Shakespeare's son, Hamnet, whose loss would later echo through one of his most famous tragedies, Hamlet. O'Farrell joins director and co-writer Chloé Zhao to reveal how they adapted the novel for the big screen. With Jessie Buckley as Agnes and Paul Mescal as William, the film reframes the Shakespeare family story as one of deep love, rupturing grief, and artistic creation. O'Farrell and Zhao discuss developing the screenplay together, interpreting Shakespeare as a husband and father, building the film's immersive natural world, and shaping an unforgettable Globe Theatre sequence that anchors the emotional arc of the story. O'Farrell and Zhao talk about adaptation, artistry, and how a 400-year-old loss continues to inspire new ways of imagining Shakespeare's life and legacy. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast.

Get ready for an electrifying deep dive with Michelle Hurd, an actress, activist, and industry powerhouse whose career has spanned Shakespeare, sitcoms, sci-fi universes, and everything in between. Born into a legendary artistic lineage and raised to treat acting as both a sacred craft and a true business, Michelle opens up about the relentless training and unwavering discipline that have fueled her ability to work only as an actor since college. She reveals the strategy that won her the fiercely complex role of Raffi on Star Trek: Picard in just two takes. Michelle also pulls back the curtain on her crucial work within SAG-AFTRA, sharing why boundaries matter, why actors should never be asked to tape themselves unclothed, and how she's fighting to make sets safer for everyone. With recent projects alongside Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein and several new films on the way, Michelle Hurd is as unstoppable as ever. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Michelle Hurd right here.

Chelsea J. Smith walks into a studio and suddenly I feel like a smurf. She's six-foot-three of sharp humor, dancer's poise, and radioactive charm. A working actor and thyroid cancer survivor, Chelsea is the kind of guest who laughs while dropping truth bombs about what it means to be told you're “lucky” to have the “good cancer.” We talk about turning trauma into art, how Shakespeare saved her sanity during the pandemic, and why bartending might be the best acting class money can't buy. She drops the polite bullshit, dismantles survivor guilt with punchline precision, and reminds every listener that grace and rage can live in the same body. If you've ever been told to “walk it off” while your body betrayed you, this one hits close.RELATED LINKS• Chelsea J.

Friend of the pod Katherine Scheil is the author of Imagining Shakespeare's Wife: The Afterlife of Anne Hathaway and the co-editor of the upcoming Palgrave Handbook of Shakespearean Biofiction, is the perfect person to talk about Chloé Zhao's film version of Hamnet, Maggie O'Farrell's 2020 novel. Scheil highlights some of the differences between the novel and the film; some head-scratching marketing choices; how the novel and (especially) Jessie Buckley's performance, empower Shakespeare's wife in a way we've never seen before; and a curious similarity between Paul Mescal in Hamnet and Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest.

We discuss the film's charm, emotional beats, cultural context, and Fraser's beautifully understated performance. Wicked for Good The second part of the two-film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical. Rashmi dives into whether the sequel improves on part one, how it ties into The Wizard of Oz, and what works (or doesn't) about its pacing, spectacle, and storytelling. Hamnet Chloé Zhao adapts Maggie O'Farrell's acclaimed novel about Shakespeare's family life and the tragedy that shaped some of his greatest work.

Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) was born into relative obscurity and died in mysterious circumstances at the age of 29. And yet, somehow this ambitious cobbler's son brought about a spectacular explosion of English literature, language, and culture. In this episode, Jacke talks to Stephen Greenblatt about his book Dark Renaissance: The Dangerous Times and Fatal Genius of Shakespeare's Greatest Rival, which illuminates both Marlowe's times and the origins and significance of his work. PLUS author Eric Marshall White (Johannes Gutenberg: A Biography in Books) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read.

Welcome back to another conversation about Shakespeare's delightful comedy. This week we discuss the differences between “noting” and investigating, Dogberry the wise fool who sees but nonetheless can't communicate clearly in contract with the characters who can communicate but don't have vision, the question of who the play's hero is, and much, much more.

In 2014, Colin McEnroe and the playwright and screenwriter Tom Stoppard recorded a live conversation at The Study in New Haven. Stoppard, whom Colin considers “quite possibly the most dizzyingly proficient writer of the English tongue (who) did not grow up speaking English,” has died at the age of 88. In appreciation of Stoppard and his work, we’re republishing their conversation with a note from Colin. GUEST: Tom Stoppard is a Czech-born playwright. His most famous works include "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" and "Every Good Boy Deserves Favor." He co-wrote the screenplay for the 1998 Academy Award winning film, "Shakespeare in Love." Over the course of his career he has written for radio, television, film and stage. He' received one Academy Award and four Tony Awards for his work. Betsy Kaplan and Chion Wolf produced the hour.

The Hamlet Podcast - a weekly exploration of Shakespeare's King Lear. Act IV Scene vi - Gloucester wonders at Lear's fallen state, while Lear madly criticises the hypocrisies of the world. Written and presented by Conor Hanratty

Today we talk about the philosophy behind the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. We talk about how ineffective violence and honor codes are as ways of maintaining the stability of a society. How catastrophe may be a deterrent to violence. The tension presented by Shakespeare between a Christian view of love, marriage and salvation and an alternative religion of love from his time. How in the kinds of love we most admire there is sometimes an element of irrationality that makes it possible. Hope you love it. :) Sponsors: ZocDoc: https://www.ZocDoc.com/PHILO Quince: https://www.QUINCE.com/pt Nord VPN: https://nordvpn.com/philothis  Thank you so much for listening!

History has not graced us with many details about Shakespeare as a person, but we do know that he and his wife had three children, including a son named Hamnet who died at the age of 11 in 1596, four years before Shakespeare went on to write his great tragedy “Hamlet.”Maggie O'Farrell's novel “Hamnet” — one of the Book Review's 10 Best Books of 2020, and the source of Chloé Zhao's new movie of the same name — starts from those scant facts, and spins them into a powerful story of grief, art and family steeped in the textures of late-16th-century life.In this episode of the Book Review Book Club, host MJ Franklin discusses “Hamnet” with his colleagues Leah Greenblatt, Jennifer Harlan and Sarah Lyall. Other works mentioned in this podcast:“Hamlet,” “King Lear,” “Macbeth,” “The Winter's Tale,” by William Shakespeare“Little Women,” by Louisa May Alcott“Grief Is the Thing With Feathers,” by Max Porter“Lincoln in the Bardo,” by George Saunders“Fi,” by Alexandra Fuller“Things In Nature Merely Grow,” by Yiyun Li“The Accidental Tourist,” by Anne Tyler“Will in the World” and “Dark Renaissance,” by Stephen Greenblatt“Gabriel,” by Edward Hirsch“Once More We Saw Stars,” by Jayson Greene“The Dutch House,” by Ann Patchett Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

When Jacke started the podcast in 2015, he decided to privilege books that were at least fifty years old. (Longtime listeners will know he's made a few exceptions, but for the most part, that's been the policy.) Last month, the History of Literature Podcast celebrated its tenth anniversary - which means there are ten years' worth of books that are eligible now that weren't when he began. In this day-before-Thanksgiving episode, Jacke talks to regular guests Mike Palindrome and Laurie Frankel about Thanksgiving plans, Laurie's forthcoming novel Enormous Wings, Mike's Bluesky reading-together projects, and the literature that came out in the years 1965-1975. PLUS Jacke gives thanks for ten years of listener support, AND Eve Dunbar (Monstrous Work and Radical Satisfaction: Black Women Writing Under Segregation) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read.
