In this final installment of my conversation with author and bookstore co-owner Lucas Mann, we talk about the books, writers, TV shows, music, and even dinners that are getting his wheels turning, including: The book he recently read with his book club that got him excited about writing in new ways and that he couldn't stop talking about Why a long walk or bike ride can solve most problems The two writers whose work and ways of being inspire him The reality TV show he would forego sleep for weeks at a time if he could The dad music he has embraced, the morning beverage he drinks until he feels ill, the recent book that kept him awake, and his favorite sushi restaurant Visit Lucas at www.lucasmann.com.

In this second part of my conversation with Lucas Mann, author of Attachments, Essays on Fatherhood and Other Performances and co-owner (with his wife, Ottavia) of the fabulous Riff Raff Bookstore and Bar in Providence, Rhode Island, we really got into the evolution of his thinking about what it means–and what it takes–to be a ‘successful' writer, and what the even means. Specifically, we talked about: The hardest part of writing for Lucas–namely, discipline–and why writing an article feels so much harder than writing a book How his inner critic is obsessed with making sure he sounds smart, and not like he's just writing about feelings–and how it's always wrong How getting older has helped him be less precious about his writing How being a competitive, jock-y kid fed into his writing path How teaching creative writing (which he does at U. Mass Dartmouth) has changed since he was an MFA student at the University of Iowa Releasing the idea that the only way to be good at something is to be maniacally devoted to it Why he loves the Enneagram Visit Lucas at www.lucasmann.com.

Lucas teaches creative writing at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, and he and his wife, Ottavia, own Riff Raff Bookstore and Bar in Providence, Rhode Island, an amazing hub of community for folks who love to write and or love to read and or both. In this episode we talked about the nuts and bolts of how he got to where he is today and how he gets his work done, including: The realities of running a bookstore alongside having your own writing career A peek into the author talk/event planning side of the book business Weaving in a new strand to the braid of your writing career Getting over the idea that writing is a solitary profession The value of a hyperlocal writing community, and how to tap into one The emotional intricacies of writing memoir and how to navigate them Why he walks across town to write Visit Lucas at www.lucasmann.com.

We couldn't do a season on "the marriage plot" in literature without reading the Jeffrey Eugenides novel that's literally titled The Marriage Plot. Guest Lucas Mann (author, most recently, of the essay collected Attachments, and co-owner of Riffraff Bookstore and Bar in Providence, Rhode Island) joins us to discuss Eugenides' novel, which contains a "marriage plot" while also being a kind of meta-commentary on marriage plots. Plus: Is the book's clinically depressed, bandana-wearing character meant to be David Foster Wallace? How does Lucas employ "power poses" to sell books? And is there anything worse than a cash-bar wedding?

A conversation about playing in a pop punk band growing up in Long Island, getting his first drum set at the age of 5, his early drum influences, his first experience with beer, what it was like to get asked to play drums for Rings of Saturn, what steps he had to take to improve his drumming over the years, what it is like playing in Lucas Mann's band, his opinion about Lucas' infamous quote, his top guitarists of the modern era & how he got thrown off of Atilla's tour bus.

With Rings Of Saturn coming to Australia for the first time HEAVY Mag sat down and chatted to LUCAS MANN.

Lucas Mann (Rings of Saturn). One of the greatest guitarists in the biz today, Lucas joins Andrew to discuss the June 2019 Australian tour. Lucas also provides some detail on the reasons for his withdrawal from touring and performing until now.

In Lucas Mann's trademark vein—fiercely intelligent, self-deprecating, brilliantly observed, idiosyncratic, personal, funny, and infuriating—Captive Audience is an appreciation of reality television wrapped inside a love letter to his wife, with whom he shares the guilty pleasure of watching "real" people bare their souls in search of celebrity.  Captive Audience resides at the intersection of popular culture with the personal; the exhibitionist impulse, with the schadenfreude of the vicarious, and in confronting some of our most suspect impulses achieves a heightened sense of what it means to live an authentic life and what it means to love a person. Mann is in conversation with television critic Joy Press.

Today we find out why you should eat popcorn with chopsticks, & why novelty is the secret to happiness. Sarah tells us the history of "new car" smell. We learn about a fish that carries weapons (what?). We find out why women are often forgotten in the design and architecture fields. Sarah talks about why eternal sunshine of the spotless mind might be possible. We discuss the success of Queer Eye. Plus, we interview author Lucas Mann about his book Captive Audience: On Love & Reality TV.

Despite their easy descriptions-- a book about small town baseball, a memoir of grief and addiction, a discussion of reality television-- Lucas Mann's books are unlike anything else, with each page revealing a fresh perspective or a surprising insight. He tells James about writing weird books in a way that feels normal, throwing subjects off-kilter in interviews, learning to write unhinged to create emotion, and playing Jenga with narrative. Plus, Nathan McNamara on the art of book reviewing.  - Lucas Mann: http://www.lucasmann.com/ James and Lucas discuss:  The University of Iowa  HOMAGE TO CATALONIA by George Orwell  Arundhati Roy  Amitava Kumar  James Baldwin  THE VILLAGER  Film Forum  THRONE by Kerry Howley  THE NEW YORKER  Roger Angell "Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu" by John Updike  David Halberstam  BLUETS by Maggie Nelson  THE LOVER by Marguerite Duras  THE SUICIDE INDEX by Joan Wickersham  SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE  Malcolm Gladwell  Virginia Center for the Creative Arts  The Kardashians  - Nathan McNamara: http://nathanscottmcnamara.com/ Nathan and James discuss:  PLOUGHSHARES  Johns Hopkins University  Vassar College  COFFEE HOUSE PRESS  SAMUEL JOHNSON'S ETERNAL RETURN by Michael Riker  DOROTHY, A PUBLISHING PROJECT   Megan McDowell Christina MacSweeney  Emma Ramadan  Riff Raff Bookstore  Michael Silverblatt  BOOKWORM  Annie Hartnett  THE LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS  Ellie Duke  Danielle Dutton   THE SHUTTERS by Ahmed Bouanani THE HOSPITAL by Ahmed Bouanani  NEW DIRECTIONS PRESS  COMEMADRE by Roque Larraquy Alejandra Pizarnik  THE POETRY FOUNDATION  Jeremy Lybarger  THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE: STORIES by Mariana Enriquez  FEVER DREAM by Samantha Schweblin  MY HEART HEMMED IN by Marie NDiaye  TWO LINES PRESS  THE BABYSITTER AT REST by Jen George  -  http://tkpod.com / tkwithjs@gmail.com / Twitter: @JamesScottTK Instagram: tkwithjs / Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tkwithjs/

After a much-needed hiatus, James and Lawrence dive balls deep into Kanye konspiracies and crack open—nay, SOLVE!—the case of MAGA Ye. Then, because this is the most intellectual pod in the goddamn motherfuckin game, the boys are joined by thrice-published author Lucas Mann to talk about his new book Captive Audience: On Love and Reality TV. The warrior-poet bookworm regales the Fail Gang on why Vanderpump is the perfect TV show, getting topped by Lawrence for Four Pins, and why James is an entertaining but sloppy(-toppy) wedding guest. In a bonus interview that cements our status as the most diverse podcast in the whole fucking GALAXY, Producer Jay makes his triumphant yet flaccid return, waxing poetic on how he spends his life now that he's flush with cash and adult responsibilities. Spoiler alert: nothing's really changed.
