Podcast appearances and mentions of Larissa Anderson

Matt Haig was already several books into his career as a writer by the time he published “The Midnight Library” in 2020. One of those books, the 2015 memoir “Reasons to Stay Alive,” had even been a best seller in England, his home nation. Yet, “The Midnight Library” was a true breakout phenomenon. The novel, about a depressed woman who, after deciding to end her own life, ends up in a magical library in which every book presents her with an alternative life, eventually sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. The author's new book, “The Midnight Train,” takes place on a parallel track. In it, an older man dies and finds himself on a train, able to revisit key moments in his life on his way to the hereafter. Like its blockbuster sibling, the book is concerned with questions of gratitude, regret and perspective. Haig joined the “Book Review” podcast and spoke to the host, Gilbert Cruz, about his new book and why he returned to the world of “The Midnight Library.” If you are having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or go to SpeakingOfSuicide.com/resources for a list of additional resources.

“Angel Down,” a grisly novel about World War I told in a single, almost 300-page-long sentence, was awarded this year's Pulitzer Prize for fiction. In a review for The New York Times, Ben H. Winters described it as a “thunderous gallop” that captures the “cruel and self-perpetuating logic of war.” (It was also one of the Book Review's Top 10 books of 2025.) The day after the Pulitzers were awarded, the book's author, Daniel Kraus — who has written horror, fantasy and young adult novels — spoke to the Book Review's editor, Gilbert Cruz, about putting together his semi-experimental story. Cruz also spoke with Patricia Cornwell, a best-selling author who rose to prominence in the 1990s with novels about the character Kay Scarpetta, a chief medical examiner. A Scarpetta series starring Nicole Kidman debuted this year on Amazon. Cornwell has released a new memoir, “True Crime,” in which she tells the surprising story of her childhood and the events that led her to become a novelist.

Our new daily podcast upload will give fans quick-hitting Mizzou news in 5-10 minute segments every morning. Today, a look at the end of the Tigers' softball season and what it means for the future of Larissa Anderson and the program.

Since its first episode in April 2006, the “Book Review” podcast has played host to hundreds of authors talking about their new works and possibly as many conversations about the best (and sometimes worst) that books have to offer. In this anniversary episode, the Book Review editor Gilbert Cruz is joined by the deputy editor Tina Jordan and the critic Dwight Garner to look back at some of the titles, trends and turning points that have helped define the last two decades in publishing. They revisit blockbuster hits, literary movements and industry-shifting moments, starting with an unforgettable Oprah-related controversy and moving through several hit genres and literary trends. To close out this two-decade retrospective, Cruz puts his colleagues' literary memories to the test with an only slightly grueling quiz.

Andy Weir's first time at the Hollywood rodeo was a singular trip. His debut novel, “The Martian,” went from self-published project to blockbuster, best picture-nominated film starring Matt Damon. His third book, “Project Hail Mary,” was also a sensation, and its adaptation, starring Ryan Gosling as a middle school science teacher tasked with saving humanity from slow extinction, charts warmly familiar territory: a lone man, stuck in space far from Earth, solving science problem after science problem with many a humorous aside. Weir joined the Book Review's podcast and spoke to the host Gilbert Cruz about the similarities and differences between Mark Watney and Ryland Grace (the main characters of “The Martian” and “Project Hail Mary”), his second novel “Artemis” and the alien character that readers have fallen in love with.

The group discusses the ramifications of renovations like these, before getting into a long and passionate discussion revolving around the Question of the Day, which is-- If you were a millionaire/billionaire philanthropist, what would you spend your money on regarding Mizzou's Olympic sports? The team offers so many varied ideas, and it's a really good convo. Abigail then provides an video update from the Bob Teel Invitational and previews the return of the jumpers in this weekend's Dr. Rick McGuire Invitational, also at Hearnes Fieldhouse. Rory is next with a diving preview for the Air Force Invitational in Colorado Springs, before also providing a schedule update for Tennis, who faces SLU this weekend. Finally, Karen wraps up the in-season sports discussion with Gym's massive win over #6 Kentucky on Sunday. The vibes were amazing at Hearnes, and the team put together its first four good rotation performance of the season before heading out to Baton Rouge to take on #3 LSU. Before wrapping up the gym talk, the group gets into a heated discussion about the absurdity of LSU gymfluencer Olivia Dunne's recent comments about judging and entertainment in NCAA gymnastics.
