Send us a textWelcome back to The Writing Apothecary and to another return guest and my bestie Peta Hawker, she was one of the first guests on the podcast and I love any chance I get to chat to her. Her process has changed dramatically from when we first recorded this so it's fun to revist it all. Peta's Official BioMy daily grind involves content writing and knowledge management for a large organisation. When I'm not attached to my work computer, I like to squeeze our three cats (much to their chagrin), engage in linguistic wrestling matches with my partner or roll around on my yoga mat. A degree in writing and publishing and a diploma in yoga teaching remind me that I chose to quantify my passions with expensive pieces of paper, but I have no regrets about either one. Fantasy captured my heart when I was young, and it serves as the majority of what I read and write. Let's throw in a good dash of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a sprinkle of Jonathan Safran Foer and a pinch of Lewis Carroll and we've made a meal fit for my queendom.  Peta's Website: https://www.petahawker.com/ Peta's Social: @author.peta.hawkerWant exclusive behind the scenes and early access to episodes join up to the mailing list over here.If you're looking for a cheerleader for your writing, then head on over to https://dreamingfullyawake.com/work-with-me/ and let's have a chat about how we can work together to get your writing on track.

Todo está iluminado es una odisea literaria donde el humor y el dolor coexisten en cada página. Foer construye un puente entre el pasado borrado (el shtetl arrasado) y el presente incómodo (el turismo de la memoria), demostrando que la ficción puede ser la forma más honesta de enfrentar la historia.

Flat-World Fiction: Digital Humanity in Early Twenty-First-Century America (University of Georgia Press, 2021) Dr. Liliana Naydan analyses representations of digital technology and the social and ethical concerns it creates in mainstream literary American fiction and fiction written about the United States in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. In this period, authors such as Don DeLillo, Jennifer Egan, Dave Eggers, Joshua Ferris, Jonathan Safran Foer, Mohsin Hamid, Thomas Pynchon, Kristen Roupenian, Gary Shteyngart, and Zadie Smith found themselves not only implicated in the developing digital world of flat screens but also threatened by it, while simultaneously attempting to critique it. As a result, their texts explore how human relationships with digital devices and media transform human identity and human relationships with one another, history, divinity, capitalism, and nationality. Dr. Naydan walks us through these complex relationships, revealing how authors show through their fiction that technology is political. In the process, these authors complement and expand on work by historians, philosophers, and social scientists, creating accessible, literary road maps to our digital future.

Se där, den vänstervridna vegetarian-kärringen gör sig skyldig till folkförakt! Malin Krutmeijer tar avstamp i Han Kangs Vegetarian i sin reflektion över vad det är som stör med att inte äta djur. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Publicerad 2018-02-05.”Innan min fru blev vegetarian hade jag alltid tänkt på henne som fullständigt alldaglig i alla avseenden.”Så inleds romanen ”Vegetarianen” av den sydkoreanska författaren Han Kang, som kom på svenska i början av 2017. Mannen som talar är frustrerad: hans fogliga fru tror visst att hon är något, när den mat som de flesta äter inte duger längre.Romanen är komplex och utvecklar många teman med utgångspunkt i kvinnans beslut att inte äta kött, fisk, ägg och mjölkprodukter. Men längs vägen gör Han Kang flera pricksäkra iakttagelser just kring själva vegetarianismen, i det här fallet i form av veganism. Inte minst ringar hon in föreställningar om den, och reaktioner som den utlöser.Till exempel tar mannen med sin strikt grönsaks- och spannmålsätande fru på en middag med höjdarna på sitt jobb – och det blir genast pinsamt. Efterhand blir stämningen rent aggressiv. Vegetarianism är helt enkelt inte naturligt, säger en person vid bordet. ”Folk som godtyckligt bestämmer sig för att avstå från det ena eller det andra, trots att de inte är allergiska mot någonting, det är vad jag kallar inskränkt”, klämmer en annan i. En tredje uttrycker sitt obehag över att slurpa i sig bläckfisk inför en vegetarians ogillande blickar.Det kan verkligen vara såhär. Tro mig, som själv inte ätit kött på över 30 år. Vegetarianism, om vi nu håller oss till det ordet som ett samlingsbegrepp för alla grader av att avstå från animalier, utlöser många insinuanta och kritiska frågor. Förutom diskussionerna jag har tvingats ta om mitt kostval, så har jag följt de debatter om vegetarianism som blossat upp då och då. Och jag kan konstatera att motståndet är högljutt och ilsket.Precis som i Han Kangs roman pekas vegetarianer ofta ut som självutnämnda moralens väktare. Och faktum är att vegetarianism som moraliskt värde har historiska rötter.Från antiken och framåt var det framför allt ett religiöst val att avstå från kött. Det var ett sätt att komma närmare gud. Den grekiske filosofen och matematikern Pythagoras, som levde omkring femhundra år före Kristus, var emot dödandet av djur och åt varken kött eller fisk. Det hade med hans tro på själavandring att göra, och han samlade en del likasinnade anhängare.Så vem tror man att den där vegetarianen är, som måste tryckas ner och förlöjligas?I senare kulturer har vegetarianism praktiserats av munkar och präster, och förknippats med ett mått av helighet. Inom exempelvis buddhismen tas respekt för djuren med i beräkningen, men andra gånger handlar det snarare om försakelse och måttfullhet.Och är det något som provocerar i våra samtida, västerländska samhällen så är det väl att frivilligt försaka. Det kan passera om syftet är att vara vältränad och representativ, men att av etiska skäl överge den oreflekterade konsumtionen? Drivkraften måste nog ändå innerst inne vara att framstå som god och politiskt korrekt.Händelser som när musikfestivalen Way out west i Göteborg 2012 klargjorde att de enbart skulle sälja vegetarisk mat sände en chockvåg genom nätforum och sociala media. De politiserade festivalen, menade folk, och det var förfärligt. Tidningen GT delade ut korv och köttbullar utanför festivalområdet, så att alla skulle förstå hur löjligt det var med vegetarisk mat. Moderata ungdomsförbundet har gjort samma sak och delat ut hamburgare utanför skolor som infört en köttfri dag i veckan.Hån av det här slaget brukar tyda på ett mått av skräck. Så vem tror man att den där vegetarianen är, som måste tryckas ner och förlöjligas? I kommentarsfält och debattartiklar träder det fram en bild av en mager och bleksiktig människa, vars mörkkantade ögon brinner av obehaglig ideologisk övertygelse.Bilden liknar en variant på den religiösa asketen, som alltså har en lång historia. Men jag tror också den är präglad av 90-talets och det tidiga 2000-talets debatt om så kallade militanta veganer.I sin bok ”Veganerna” från år 2000 skriver Magnus Linton om den djurrättsrörelse som fick fart de här åren. Filosofen Peter Singer blev rörelsens ikon, med sin kritik av det han kallade speciesism, eller artism, alltså en systematisk diskriminering av andra varelser grundad på arttillhörighet. Individer ur den här djurrättsrörelsen har gjort sig skyldiga till bland annat hot och trakasserier av minkfarmare, men redan innan dess skrämde de upp opinionsbildare och politiker.Och då gick man på själva djur- och människosynen. Magnus Linton ger exempel på hur det pratades om ”politisk renlevnadsfanatism” och ”ett hat mot människan”. Här kommer kristendomen in i det hela, med sin syn på människan som guds avbild och stående över djuren. Självaste påven påstod att ”antikrist är djurrättsaktivist”.Veganerna skapade en moralpanik som inte är alldeles obesläktad med den som drabbade hårdrocken och videovåldet. Man var rädd att en ungdomsgeneration skulle förledas och något slags anarki skulle uppstå.Det finns också en idé att vegetarianen själv oftast skulle vara privilegierad medelklass.Idag har paniken runt de militanta veganerna nog lite grand fallit i glömska, men delar av den lever kvar i den kritiska bilden av vegetarianen.Numera är vegetarianen, i denna negativa föreställningsvärld, en mer allmänt vänstervriden galning som vill ta allt roligt ur livet för folk.Det finns också en idé att vegetarianen själv oftast skulle vara privilegierad medelklass. En som haft tid att tänka för mycket och har en överdrivet sentimental inställning till djur. En som inte respekterar hederliga människors enkla matvanor.Det är inte osannolikt att vegetarianen är en kvinna eller åtminstone en feminiserad man, som hatar manliga aktiviteter som jakt och glufsande av pizzor typ capricciosa.Så finner den kärringaktiga och samtidigt fanatiska vegetarianen sin motsats i en tyst föreställning om köttätaren som en rejäl, naturligt maskulin och realistisk arbetarklassman. De som exempelvis inte orkar tänka på klimatförändringar och djuren i köttindustrin, kan bekvämt skjuta denne arbetarman framför sig, som ett underförstått moraliskt imperativ. Se där, den vänstervridna vegetarian-kärringen gör sig skyldig till folkförakt!Nu har jag raljerat över fördomarna om vegetarianer. Men mat och ätande har verkligen en djupgående symbolisk betydelse i den mänskliga kulturen. Vi pratar ju om mammas mat som det bästa. Och jag har själv varma och förvånansvärt smakrika minnen av hur min pappa ställde fram en burk köttfärssås, och öppnade en påse färdigriven ost, till spaghettin de dagar i veckan då han var ensam hemma med mig och min bror när vi var små.Att äta det någon bjuder på är inte bara en trivial akt.Så när mamman i Han Kangs roman ”Vegetarianen” ställer fram sin dotters gamla favoriträtter för att få henne att äta kött är det faktiskt rörande. Hon vill ta hand om sitt barn, samtidigt som hon kräver att bli bekräftad genom maten, som människa och förälder.Att äta det någon bjuder på är inte bara en trivial akt. Mat ger liv och njutning och laddas med kärlek, vänskap och andra sociala band.Sedan har vi alla ritualer där maten står i centrum: jul, midsommar och så vidare. I sin bok ”Äta djur” skriver Jonathan Safran Foer om sin familjs mat och traditioner, från kosher till amerikanska tacksägelsemiddagar. Det är sårigt, för efter att ha utforskat köttindustrin slutar han själv att äta kött. Familjesammankomsterna blir sig inte lika, matens sammanhållande värde devalveras.Som vegetarian bryter man alltså sociala och känslomässiga kontrakt. Julskinka och kycklinggrytor framstår plötsligt inte som självklara och neutrala längre, utan som ett val. Jämte vegetarianen blir den normala människan en köttätare.Malin Krutmeijer, kulturjournalist LitteraturHan Kang: Vegetarianen, översättning Eva Johansson, Natur & kultur 2017.Magnus Linton: Veganerna – en bok om dom som stör, Atlas, 2000.Jonathan Safran Foer: Äta djur, översättning av Molle Kanmert Sjölander, Norstedts, 2011.

Lorenzo Zino"L'amore difficile"Le parole della vita offesaEdizioni ETSwww.edizioniets.comNon è l'amore a essere difficile, ma lo sono gli interpreti, coloro ai quali l'esperienza dell'amore è comunque dedicata. Ma un analista ascolta come l'amore sia difficile - o lo è stato, o lo è nel presente, o si scorgono ampie premesse perché possa esserlo nel futuro, compresa la paura di incontrarlo ancora. A tutto questo Lorenzo Zino ha dedicato il proprio Seminario del 2021-2022, ora pubblicato. Con Freud, Leopardi, Pirandello, Emily Dickinson, Jonathan Safran Foer, Antonia Pozzi e Nadia Fusini, in questo libro l'autore affronta le difficoltà dell'amore, attraversandone le promesse e le delusioni, gli impeti e le rinunce, le parole che turbano e seducono, quelle che avvicinano o allontanano. Con sullo sfondo sempre la condizione umana abituata a temerlo mentre lo desidera sopra ogni altra cosa. «Più una persona arriva ad essere vicina a se stessa e più sarà in grado di donarsi appieno all'altro. Se ci si dona veramente, è possibile che qualcuno si interessi davvero a noi. Non è facile innamorarsi di persone col freno a mano tirato. Non è facile innamorarsi di persone che mettono una serie mirabolante di steccati. Non è facile innamorarsi di qualcuno che in qualche modo non abbia a cuore la parola e ciò che la parola può provocare».Lorenzo Zino, psicanalista, lavora dal 1980 a Firenze e Massa. Fin dal 1993 il suo Seminario abita nella tradizione di Jacques Lacan e di Aldo Rescio. Ha pubblicato nelle Edizioni ETS L'esperienza della psicanalisi. Scritti 1982-2006 (2007), La Seduzione. Letture di psicanalisi (2008), Un bambino che ha paura. Infanzia e psicanalisi (2008), La Gelosia. Letture di psicanalisi (2010), Il Desiderio. Letture di psicanalisi (2012), Amore mio.

Casting out Shame & Self Loathing.By Tx Tall Tales – Listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories. I was standing over the pool at 9:00 am on the dot. I'd gone to bed so early, I'd woken up at 7:00 and couldn't get back to sleep. A McDonald's Egg McMuffin was percolating in my belly, and I felt refreshed and renewed.The pool was full, and the hoses were still going. I quickly turned them off, and rolled the hoses back up. Then I started the filter running. The sun was warm already. It was going to be a hot one. I peeled my shirt off and tossed it to the side, helping myself to some of Amy's sun-tan lotion, covering my shoulders and face.I went out to my car and got the chemicals out. Time for the magic. I walked the perimeter of the pool, adding stabilizer, algaecide, clarifier, and finally shock. I hauled out four 50 pound bags of salt, and started pouring the fine salt into the water, one bag at a time. I was working on the last bag when I happened to glance over at the porch and saw Amy there, leaning against the door watching me. She had on a robe, and an odd little smile.I finished emptying the bag, and headed her way. "Good morning, beautiful."Her smile looked forced. "Morning pool boy.""What's wrong?" I asked, moving closer to her."Nothing. Everything. I don't know.""You're breaking my heart, morning Goddess," I teased."Please. Enough of the Goddess. I'm nobody's Goddess. Slut is more like it.""Don't," I said firmly."It's true!""Don't."She covered her face with her hands. "How can you even look at me after the way I behaved yesterday?"I pulled her close and held her. She was stiff at first, then slowly melted into my arms, crying, tears running down my bare chest."Have you seen your pool yet?" I asked when the sobs had almost disappeared.She shook her head."C'mon then. It's time to see the fruits of your labor." I took her hand in mine and walked over to the pool."What do you think?"She smiled. "A miracle. You saved my ass, Alex.""Quite a nice ass to save, if you don't mind my saying."She snorted, quite unladylike. "You should know. You've seen more of it than anybody else has outside of my doctor.""Are you mad at me, Amy?" I asked."Mad at you? Hardly.""Then what is it?"She leaned her head back with a sigh. "I...I'm not who I thought I was. Amy Dixon would never have behaved like she did yesterday. I never thought I could be such a tramp." She crossed her arms over her chest, turning to face the pool. "How desperate am I, that I would drag you into my backyard and blow you, with my husband sitting watching TV fifty feet away? That I'd let you finger me while laying out next to my friend, and almost beg for more when you left me hanging."She turned to face me. "I'm such a whore. I'm letting you do whatever you want to me, just so I can get my pool cleaned on the cheap. Hell, I practically begged you to spank me and came as hard as I'd ever come in my life, with your finger buried in my ass, God help me. Is this anyway for a married woman to behave? My mother would be so proud."I was lost for words. What could I say to her?I took her hand in mine, and walked her over to the covered porch. "Sit," I told her, at the end of our favorite lounge chair.She sat down stiffly, and I moved behind her, sitting with her between my legs. I wrapped my arms around her and held her. "I don't have any answers Amy. I don't know your situation. I barely know you. You've been a mysterious fantasy for me ever since I was old enough to appreciate a woman. And in the last few days, you seemed like a happy girl, looking for a little excitement in her life, and willing to work for it. There's a wild, playful and extremely sexy woman inside you, looking to get out. I saw her. And I adore her."Amy sniffed loudly. "She's a filthy little slut."I eased my hand inside of her robe, and found nothing but soft flesh. I cupped her bare breast in my hand. "She's my naughty little slut, and she's amazing.""How can you say that? I should disgust you."I squeezed her tightly. "You are every man's dream come true. An Angel in public and a Devil in the bedroom.""Right. I'm no Devil in the bedroom. I'm a boring lay, who can't even keep her man.""That's crazy talk, woman.""It's true. My sex life is miserable. I mean, we do it, more than most, from what I hear. But it's a couple of minutes of sweaty thrusting a few times a week, and that's it. If it wasn't for my shower massage, I wouldn't come more than once a year.""That may be the saddest thing I ever heard. Keep it up, and you're going to see a grown man cry.""It's true!" she snapped.I held her, rocking her back and forth just a little. "What do you want out of life, Amy? You're young, you're beautiful, and your whole life is ahead of you. What do you want?""I wish you'd quit saying I'm beautiful.""Not going to happen. You are, without a doubt, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in person. Let's face it. Teens fantasize about movie stars and TV icons. I've fantasized about you forever. So much better than any celebrity, prettier and real. I've probably come into a dirty sock mumbling your name at least a thousand times over the years. God strike me dead, if I'm lying.""And I'm not young. I'm 26 years old."My hand was caressing her soft breast, toying with her hardening nipple. "Oh my God, 26! I thought you were 25. You are old! Hell you probably only have 70 or 80 years ahead of you. When I'm 91 years old, you'll be 98! What was I thinking?"She poked my leg. "Don't make fun of me, Alex." She twisted around and glared at me.I laid back on the lounger, and opened my arms for her. "Come here, and let's talk. Let's really talk.""No way. I lay down with you, the slut takes over, and I walk away bowlegged.""Not this time. Come here."She sighed dramatically before turning and crawling over me. I reached up. opening her robe, and saw she wasn't quite naked. She was wearing plain white panties.She caught me looking. "One word about the panties, and you'll walk away a eunuch.""Let me hold you," I urged her, my hands inside her robe, pulling her down.She stretched out against me, resting her head on my shoulder. I felt her legs shift, and her hips pressed against me. "What? No hardon? Tired of me already?""Silly. One look from you, one touch, and I'd be busting my shorts and you damn well know it.""Really?" She nibbled on my shoulder, grinding her hips against me. I reached down for her ass, and pushed up against her, squeezing her soft ass cheeks. It was only a few seconds before she felt my hardness pressing against her belly.She giggled. "That's oddly comforting.""Think I'm tired of you?"She squeezed me in her arms. "No.""We're going to play a game, you and I. A variation on Truth or Dare. I ask a question, and you tell me the absolute truth.""And?""And nothing. That's it. Ready?""That's not a game!" she argued.My hand was stroking the soft skin of her back. "Ok, how do you want to play it?""Regular Truth or Dare, except the first three rounds can only be Truth.""Alright. Now are you ready?""Who says you get to go first?""Do you want to go first?"She gave me a poke. "Damned straight. Truth or truth?""Truth.""When you came over the second day, and agreed to do the work, what was the absolute minimum I could have gotten away with offering?""Expenses. When you agreed to cover the material cost, it was a go. When you asked for it as a personal favor I couldn't say no. The only real problem was I didn't have the money to cover the parts. Once Mom said I could use her credit card, and pay it off in 30 days, it was a done deal."She leaned in and bit me on the shoulder. "Ow!""You little bastard! You left me out there worried you were going to turn me down, and I'd have to go crawling to Dale to get some contractors in here. That was mean.""Sorry. I didn't think of it that way. You were the one who sent me away the first day. Any counter-offer that covered the costs would have closed the deal.""Fine. But someday, you're going to pay for that one.""Ok, Truth or Truth?"She giggled. "Just ask the question already.""What is the absolute most I could have gotten away with asking for.""Everything.""Everything? Everything what?"She sighed. "Everything you asked for on the first day, and more. All that night I couldn't sleep, thinking of doing those things to you. Meeting you at the door on my knees each morning. Having you bend me over a table and using me for your pleasure whenever you needed a break. Being your play thing." She giggled. "I mean, it takes a lot of nerve to tell a woman you want a BJ from her every morning. I soaked my panties the moment those words left your lips.""Now who's the mean one?" I teased."You. You could have pressed the issue, and had me totally at your mercy, but no. Meanie."She raised her head, and gave me a sweet little kiss. "Thanks for getting hard for me." She ground her hips against me for emphasis.I smiled. "Anytime.""Truth or truth.""Truth." Like I had any option."Why? Why do you care? Why do you care about anything other than me willingly servicing you?"I took a moment to phrase my answer. It was a tough question. "I'm not sure I know. I want you to be happy. I don't know why, but it's as true as anything in my life. It must be the Neanderthal in me, or maybe Grandpa's Southern Gentleman upbringing. I want to protect you, defend you, and make sure you are as happy as you can possibly be. Anything I can possibly do to make that true is a small enough price to pay for one of your smiles. I want your heart to practically burst with joy.""Funny. Beating my ass until it's red doesn't seem to jive with that," she teased."Really? Remind me, how hard did you come for me?""You are a beast sir, and hardly a gentleman at all, to ask me such a personal question.""Beast or gentleman, whatever it takes to make you happy, I'll gladly fill the role."She was quiet after that, holding me tight, while my hands caressed her sweet ass cheeks. "It's too much, Alex. You can't make yourself responsible for my happiness. It doesn't work that way.""Too late, beautiful. I'm a slave to your joy. Accept it."When she didn't answer, I continued our game. "Truth or truth, my morning Goddess.""Truth, B

What is the relationship between aesthetic presentation of thought and scientific conceptions of cognition? Torsa Ghosal's Out of Mind: Mode, Mediation, and Cognition in Twenty-First-Century Narrative (Ohio State UP, 2021) answers this question by offering incisive commentary on a range of contemporary fictions that combine language, maps, photographs, and other images to portray thought. Situating literature within groundbreaking debates on memory, perception, abstraction, and computation, Ghosal shows how stories not only reflect historical beliefs about how minds work but also participate in their reappraisal. Out of Mind makes a compelling case for understanding narrative forms and cognitive-scientific frameworks as co-emergent and cross-pollinating. To this end, Ghosal harnesses narrative theory, multimodality studies, cognitive sciences, and disability studies to track competing perspectives on remembering, reading, and sense of place and self. Through new readings of the works of Kamila Shamsie, Aleksandar Hemon, Mark Haddon, Lance Olsen, Steve Tomasula, Jonathan Safran Foer, and others, Out of Mind generates unique insights into literary imagination's influence on how we think and perceive amid twenty-first-century social, technological, and environmental changes.

Widely respected in contemporary journalism, Franklin Foer has made a name for himself as one of America's premiere reporters. Foer offers refreshing takes on some of our most pressing topics, covering everything from politics to technology, immigration to economics, liberalism to sports, with his trademark perception and candor. A fellow at the New America Foundation, Foer served as editor for The New Republic for seven years. He became a national correspondent for The Atlantic in December 2016. In 2004, Foer published How Soccer Explains the World, a groundbreaking look at how the world's most popular sport can help us understand international relations, cultural conflicts, and the global economy. The Wall Street Journal called the book “an insightful, entertaining, brainiac sports road trip,” and The New York Times praised it as “an eccentric, fascinating exposé of a world most of us know nothing about.” The book has been translated into 27 languages and was named one of the five most influential sports books of the decade by Sports Illustrated. It remains a favorite at colleges and universities across the country. Foer's latest book, World Without Mind, delivers a blistering polemic against big tech, taking on the titanic companies that seem to run our digital age. While corporations like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google boast that they are changing the world for the better, Foer explores the darker side of Silicon Valley, addressing how these very companies are undermining liberal values and violating laws that protect our privacy and intellectual property. Tracing the history of computer science—from René Descartes, to Alan Turing, to Steve Jobs—Foer concludes that we are now facing an existential crisis in the face of technology monopolists, and proposes how we can begin reining them in. ABOUT THE LAST POLITICIAN Franklin Foer tells the definitive insider story of the first two years of the Biden presidency, with exclusive access to Biden's longtime team of advisers, and presents a gripping portrait of a president during this momentous time in our nation's history. “You might love Biden or you might hate Biden, but either way, if you want to understand him, you will want to buy this book.” —Politico On January 20, 2021, standing where only two weeks earlier police officers had battled with right-wing paramilitaries, Joe Biden took his oath of office. The American people were still sick with COVID-19, his economists were already warning him of an imminent financial crisis, and his party, the Democrats, had the barest of majorities in the Senate. Yet, faced with an unprecedented set of crises, Joe Biden decided he would not play defense. Instead, he set out to transform the nation. He proposed the most ambitious domestic spending bills since the 1960s and vowed to withdraw American forces from Afghanistan, ending the nation's longest war and reorienting it toward a looming competition with China. With unparalleled access to the tight inner circle of advisers who have surrounded Biden for decades, Franklin Foer dramatizes in forensic detail the first two years of the Biden presidency, concluding with the historic midterm elections. The result is a gripping and high-definition portrait of a major president at a time when democracy itself seems imperiled. With his back to the wall, Biden resorted to old-fashioned politics: deal-making and compromise. It was a gamble that seemed at first disastrously anachronistic, as he struggled to rally even the support of his own party. Yet, as the midterms drew near, via a series of bills with banal names, Biden somehow found a way to invest trillions of dollars in clean energy, the domestic semiconductor industry, and new infrastructure. Had he done the impossible―breaking decisively with the old Washington consensus to achieve progressive goals? The Last Politician is a landmark work of political reporting—which includes thrilling, blow-by-blow insider reports of the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and the White House's swift response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine—that is destined to shape history's view of a president in the eye of the storm.   In addition to his work at The New Republic and The Atlantic, Foer has been a contributor to Slate and New York Magazine. He was also the co-editor of the celebrated collection Jewish Jocks, winner of the 2012 National Jewish Book Award. In his talks, Foer draws on his books and his work as a journalist to break down complicated domestic and international issues. He is a popular speaker at conferences, associations, and universities. Foer is the brother of novelist Jonathan Safran Foer and journalist Joshua Foer. A Columbia University graduate, he lives in Washington D.C.

"The opportunity was to build a bank that really was the standard bearer, establishing best practices so that [institutional investors] had a counter-party or a middleman who could speak their language and conversely, the people building great companies had a partner who they could trust, because that partner had empathy: they were ex founders, ex VCs or from the community, not some transactional banker who lives 3,000 miles away and knows nothing of the company but knows that there is a big fee to be had and a league table to be on." "Our plan was to drive hard empathy."24:17 -- On the current state of private markets. "It's been a boom marked by irrational exuberance, and then a correction, as markets do."

Aaron Gross: How To Change The Story Around How And What We Eat

Species Unite

Species Unite will be back on June 2nd with a new season. Until then, we are re-sharing some of our favorite episodes. This week's is a conversation with Aaron Gross.    We all have a food story; the story that we tell ourselves about what we eat and why we eat it. It's that story that runs the show when it comes to how we shop, cook, and feed our children.  It was most often taught to us by our parents and their parents, most who thought they were passing on good values and deep traditions and were only doing what was best for their kids. But our food story is more than that. It was also passed on to our parents and to us from advertisers, marketers and a food industry that uses words like values and traditions to get us to buy into a narrative that has damaged our health, destroyed the planet, and caused endless suffering to billions of animals.  But once we come to terms with the fact that it's just a story and not something that we can't change, there's a whole new world waiting. And, like in so many other industries that are inherently broken in America and around the globe, the pandemic has exposed the gaping holes in our food system. But it's also given us the opportunity to take a deeper look into what and how we eat and decide that we can change the story.  Aaron Gross is a professor of theology and religious studies at the University of San Diego, and he's the CEO and founder of Farm Forward. Farm Forward was founded as the nation's first nonprofit devoted exclusively to ending factory farming. Recently, Aaron and the writer, Jonathan Safran Foer published a piece in the Guardian called, We Have to Wake Up: Factory Farms are Breeding Grounds for Pandemics.  There's a paragraph in there that says, "The link between factory farming and increasing pandemic risk is well established scientifically, but the political will to curtail that risk has, in the past, been absent. Now is the time to build that will. It really does matter if we talk about this, share our concerns with our friends, explain these issues to our children, wonder together about how we should eat differently, call on our political leaders, and support advocacy organizations fighting factory farming. Leaders are listening. Changing the most powerful industrial complex in the world – the factory farm – could not possibly be easy, but in this moment with these stakes it is, maybe for the first time in our lifetimes, possible.” Aaron graciously joined me from his quarantine in San Diego to talk about how we do this; how we change the story around how and what we eat and ultimately, how we change our food system. Aaron is one of the smartest guys out there and it was beyond a privilege to hear his thoughts and ideas on how we forge ahead. This conversation was enlightening, inspiring, and incredibly informative. I hope that you learn as much as I did.  We can change our food industry. As bad as most things across the planet are right now, there's real opportunity in front of us. Let's not waste it. Visit FarmForward.com Like Farm Forward on Facebook Follow Farm Forward on Twitter
