With ‘Special Topics and Calamity Physics' and ‘Night Film' both catapulting Marisha Pessl into the realms of early BookTube and book internet fanfare in the early 2010s, with whispers of dark academia and academia-related stories that blend with thrillers and literary fiction. We've both been long-interested in Marisha Pessl as an author and the fascinating premise and stunning cover of ‘Darkly' meant it was sent straight to the top of our dark academia wishlist…A seemingly ordinary high school student. A mysterious summer internship. And a legendary games designer, now dead.When an ad for an internship with the Louisiana Veda Foundation appears, Arcadia 'Dia' Gannon rushes to apply. Veda's game-making empire, Darkly, was renowned for its ingenious and terrifying games back in the day and Dia is as obsessed with them as anyone.The remaining games are priced like highly sought-after works of art, with the rarest and most notorious commanding tens of millions of dollars at auction. Now, Dia is thrust into the enigmatic heart of the operation. But who are these other interns? Why do they all seem to have something to hide? And why was she really chosen? It soon becomes clear that this summer will be the most twisted Darkly game of all.But will ‘Darkly' live up to our inflated dark academia dreams?In this episode we discuss:- The many pop culture, movie, TV and literary influences and connections we found in ‘Darkly'- The way that the media villainise creative, successful women, and the way that the men around them support and facilitate it- The role of romance, Poe Valois III and Choke Newington

New York Times bestselling author Marisha Pessl chats with Zibby about DARKLY, a wildly smart, edge-of-your-seart psychological YA thriller about a mysterious board game creator whose legacy intrigues a young fan, Arcadia Gannon. She and six other teenagers win coveted internships at Darkly… and so the mystery begins. Marisha shares her love of board games, her North Carolina upbringing, and her fascination with legend vs. reality, all of which inspired this novel. She also touches on her early struggles with writing and the discipline she has developed to balance writing with raising three daughters. Finally, she teases her next project.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4hXDLaeShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens! Now there's more!

  Kenneth Aronoff is a drummer for John Mellencamp. He's also part of a documentary, The Untold Stories Of Your Favorite Musicians. He talks about the early days with Mellencamp when he was asked to come up with a drum solo of sorts for a new song, Jack & Diane. When I first heard him say it my mind went into a few different directions. One, being good under pressure. Not everybody is. How can we improve that skill? Two, being good on your feet. That is, being able to figure it out in real-time, with the clock ticking. Again, how can we hon that ability? Three, knowing you're at a pivot point that could (no guarantees) change everything. How can we recognize the importance of this moment? Aronoff had enough of all three to handle this moment. “It's kind of funny...the moments on which life hinges. I think growing up you always imagine your life--your success--depends on your family and how much money they have, where you go to college, what sort of job you can pin down, starting salary...But it doesn't, you know. You wouldn't believe this, but life hinges on a couple of seconds you never see coming. And what you decide in those few seconds determines everything from then on... And you have no idea what you'll do until you're there...” ― Marisha Pessl, Special Topics in Calamity Physics (a novel) Pessl is a novelist who has crafted some great lines. Truthful lines. This is one of favorites. Life often hinges on a couple of seconds we never see coming. More accurately, it hinges on what we do in that moment. In those seconds. And while you have no idea until you're there, all the things we've done up that moment prepare us. I will prepare and some day my chance will come.  - Abraham Lincoln That line speaks to our ability and our optimism. The belief that we'll put in the necessary work and in time, we'll get an opportunity. I often wonder if we knew in advance of that moment, would it help us or hurt us? Might we live in constant fear and anxiety if we knew? It may be a blessing that when those moments arrive, we had little or no warning. In the last episode I talked about how special forces train so when the battle erupts, they react wisely (and well) automatically. So much so, they describe their reactions under fire as "it just happens." That's the value of preparation. It's the value of focus, intensity and dedication to constant improvement. It's also the quest to learn what we don't yet know. Ignorance isn't bliss. It can be disastrous when we act based on it. Many dramatic stories prove the point. Mostly, tragedies prove it. Hamlet. Romeo & Juliet. Stories where people lacked knowledge, but took actions based on it. Stories where they had 25 to save themselves, or somebody else...but they got it wrong. Tragedy has visited each of us, partly because of actions taken based on our ignorance. We thought something, but without full knowledge, or understanding, we got it wrong. The result was tragic. Maybe not life and death tragic, but some version of tragic none the less. 25 feet to get it right. Or to get it wrong. I began to consider the journey to those 25 feet, wondering how important those feet are. And how we might influence them. Reminiscing of my 25-foot-moments I tried to remember what led me there. What happened and how did I get it wrong? Did I get it wrong? Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. Please tell a friend about the podcast! • Join our private Facebook group • Email me

On this episode of Underground Genius, I discuss several reasons why creators take so long in between projects. From NYT best-selling author Marisha Pessl to Atlanta icon Andre 3000, we hear from trailblazers about how their creative process impacts their output.

In Episode 97, Christine Pride and Jo Piazza share how their co-authored novel (We Are Not Like Them) explores how hard it is to have conversations about difficult topics even between dear friends.  We discuss why they decided to write a book with a lifelong, interracial friendship at its core, and how they handled collaborating on a book with a plot revolving around a fraught topic.   This post contains affiliate links, through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). Highlights How they met and began their professional relationship. Who had the initial idea for We Are Not Like Them. How they decided to go from an editor/writer relationship to co-writing and what that looked like for them. Why it was important to work collaboratively on both main characters, rather than each taking one. Christine's and Jo's own challenges while working on this novel. How they handled any “creative friction” that came up. How the discussions around character development really opened up how they had to consider race on the page. How their own personal experiences and perspectives really informed both characters They share some key thoughts to having these important conversations. The surprising but similar reaction from both Black and white readers. They also share a little teaser about the next book they are writing together.

Will man im Urlaub über Furunkel lesen? (nein) Hat Simon Beckett eine dunkle Seite? (hmmm...) Und welches Buch passt zum Zähneputzen? (Überraschung!) Der hübsche rot-weiß gestreifte Bestseller "Femde Freunde" konnte Daniel und Katharina inhaltlich nicht überzeugen, aber dafür haben sie ein gemeinsames Lieblingsbuch des Sommers gefunden. Simon Beckett erzählt, welche Lektüre sein Leben verändert hat und eine Hörerin bringt eine interessante Lese-Möglichkeit ins Spiel. Und dann gibt es fast noch Streit beim Quiz - allerdings nicht über zu schwierige Fragen, sondern über zwei vermeintliche Must-Reads. Die Bücher dieser Folge 00:01:39 Wauter Mannaert: "Yasmina und die Kartoffelkrise" (Reprodukt) 00:06:40 Max Küng: "Fremde Freunde" (Kein & Aber) 00:15:44 Orkun Ertener: "Was bisher geschah (und was niemals geschehen darf)" (Scherz) 00:21:04 J. Courtney Sullivan: "Fremde Freundin", aus dem Englischen von Andrea O'Brien und Jan Schönherr (Zsolnay) 00:26:26 Simon Beckett: "Die Verlorenen", aus dem Englischen von Karen Witthuhn und Sabine Längsfeld (Wunderlich) 00:41:25 Marisha Pessl: "Die alltägliche Physik des Unglücks", aus dem Englischen von Adelheid Zöfel (Fischer TB) 00:46:33 Tania Blixen: "Jenseits von Afrika", aus dem Dänischen von Gisela Perlet (Penguin Edition) Das Rezept für Yasmins Kartoffelbällchen (Aloo tikki) Zutaten 5 gekochte Kartoffeln 1 Kugel Mozzarella 1 Zwiebel 1 TL Salz 2 TL Currypulver 1 TL Honig Pfeffer ggf. etwas Cayennepfeffer Für die Kruste: Mehl Paniermehl Cayennepfeffer, Curry und Salz 1 Ei mit einem Schuss Milch verquirlt Für die Soße: 2 EL Mayonnaise mit 1 EL Joghurt vermischen Zwei Minzblätter dazugeben Zubereitung Die Zwiebel fein würfeln, in etwas Öl anbraten, dann einen Löffel Honig dazugeben und auf kleiner Flamme braten, bis die Zwiebeln glasig sind. Die Kartoffeln zerdrücken und die Zwiebeln, sowie Salz, Pfeffer (und ggf. Cayennepfeffer) dazugeben. Den Mozzarella in kleine Würfel schneiden. Das Kartoffelpüree zu Kugeln formen, eine kleine Mulde hineindrücken, Mozzarella hineingeben und die Kugel wieder schließen. 15 Minuten in den Kühlschrank. Danach die Kugeln erst in Mehl wälzen, dann in der Ei-Milch baden und schließlich in dem gewürzten Paniermehl rollen. Die Kugeln in den vorgeheizten Ofen schieben und 20 Minuten bei 200 Grad backen - ab und zu wenden.  Ich habe eine Petition gestartet, um einen Garten auf dem Schuldach anzulegen. Dann schaffen wir Französisch ab und bauen in der Zeit unser eigenes Gemüse an. Ich habe aber erst sechs Unterschriften. Die meisten sagen, sie mögen kein Gemüse. Bestimmt wissen sie einfach nicht, wie man es zubereitet. Ah! Vielleicht sollte ich noch eine Petition starten: Kochunterricht statt Mathe. Feedback, Anregungen und Ideen? Her damit!

I avsnitt 86 tar Åsa och Sissel på sig vadarstövlarna och vaskar upp bortglömda guldkorn, det vill säga böcker som är äldre än ett år. De utmärkta titlar som har haft sin tid på nyhets- och topplistor men som har fått ge plats för nyare modeller. De är ju fortfarande lika bra ändå! Har du läst någon bok som fortsatt leva vidare i din själ för att det var den du läste när du var på språkresa eller åkte tåget hem efter att Jeppe hade gjort slut, eller som du lånade ut till en kollega och fick tillbaka med spilld kalops över sidorna? Åsa och Sissel har det definitivt! De böcker som snackas om i det här avsnittet är bland annat Virgin Suicides av Jeffrey Eugenides, Song of Achilles av Madelaine Miller inläst av Frazer Douglas, Vi är alla helt utom oss av Karen Joy Fowler, Vita tänder av Zadie Smith, Mödrarnas söndag av Graham Swift inläst av Julia Dufvenius, Serien om Dublins mordrotel av Tana French, Med kallt blod av Truman Capote, Nattfilm av Marisha Pessl, Färjan av Mats Strandberg inläst av Johan Ehn och Vi fem av Enid Blyton inläst av Anna Maria Käll.Feedback kan du ge på podcast@storytel.com eller i Storytel-appen och följ gärna @poddensnackaomljudbocker på Instagram!

This week Brittany, Penny & Meagan are proud to present our second Late Night Episode! This week we review Neverworld Wake by Marisha Pessl and get stuck in our own alcohol induced Neverworld. Do we have a new bit? How smart is Penny's review? Did Brittany actually rate this 5-stars (per her prediction last week)? Listen now and find out! Spoilers start at the 34 minute mark. This episode was prepared for the benefit of Unsolicited Advice Ninjas everywhere.

This week: A crime fiction book that started out as a history book. A thriller that centers on the sometimes messy relationship between mothers and daughters. And a book that explores a world between life and death.

Once upon a time, back at Darrow-Harker School, Beatrice Hartley and her five best friends were the cool kids, the beautiful ones. Then the shocking death of Jim--their creative genius and Beatrice's boyfriend--changed everything. One year after graduation, Beatrice is returning to Wincroft--the seaside estate where they spent so many nights sharing secrets, crushes, plans to change the world--hoping she'll get to the bottom of the dark questions gnawing at her about Jim's death. But as the night plays out in a haze of stilted jokes and unfathomable silence, Beatrice senses she's never going to know what really happened. Then a mysterious man knocks on the door. Blithely, he announces the impossible: time for them has become stuck, snagged on a splinter that can only be removed if the former friends make the harshest of decisions. Now Beatrice has one last shot at answers...and at life. And so begins Marisha Pessl's Neverworld Wake.

Marisha Pessl debuted in 2006 with Special Topics in Calamity Physics, a fascinating bestseller about a bookish girl and her charismatic whirlpool of a father. With its dark thrills and astonishing reveals, it made her an immediate author to watch. She followed it with Night Film, a horror thriller about a reclusive creator of cult "terror films" and the journalist who destroyed his career in pursuit of the filmmaker's secrets. Now she's releasing her YA debut, Neverworld Wake, a brainy supernatural tale about five teens who, following an accident that leaves them on the edge of death, must relive one day over and over, until they can vote on who among them will survive it. Pessl's books are dense with creation and hyper articulate, filled with invented cultural artifacts and singular characters. We sat down with her to talk about entering the YA world, cult fandom, and the killer concept behind Neverworld Wake.

Es ist wieder unerträglich warm und wir versuchen so viele Themen wie noch nie in knapp 40 Minuten zu packen. Ob das was wird? Findet es heraus und hört uns zu, wie wir über aktuelle Trailer, ein Buch von Marisha Pessl, Serien und den Marvel Film Black Panther.

Lee Cuddy is seventeen years old and on the run, alone on the streets of Philadelphia. After taking the fall for a rich friend, Lee reluctantly accepts refuge in the Crystal Castle--a cooperative of homeless kids squatting in an austere, derelict building. But homeless kids are disappearing from the streets in suspicious numbers, and Lee quickly discovers that the secret society's charitable facade is too good to be true. She finds an unexpected ally in Tomi, a young artist and hacker whose knowledge of the Internet's black market is rivaled only by his ability to break into and out of buildings. From abandoned aquariums to highly patrolled museums to the homes of vacationing Philadelphians, Tomi and Lee can always chart a way to the next, perfect hide-out.  But the harder Lee tries to escape into the unmapped corners of the city, the closer she unwittingly gets to uncovering the disturbing agenda of the very men who pull the strings of the secret society she's hoped to elude, a group of fanatics obsessed with the secrets encoded in the work of early-twentieth-century artist Marcel Duchamp. What these men want is more twisted than anything Lee could've imagined, and they believe Lee holds the key to it all. Augustus Rose's The Readymade Thief heralds the arrival of an astoundingly imaginative and propulsive new voice in fiction for fans of Marisha Pessl and Ernest Cline. Rose is in conversation with Tom Bissell, author of Apostle: Travel Among the Tombs of the Twelve.

Amanda and Jenn discuss Moroccan authors, secret societies, nonfiction audiobooks, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert and our library cart giveaway.   Questions   1. Hi! I'm going on a trip to Morocco in March and I'm looking for some books to read to get me in the mood and help me better appreciate the culture/history as I travel. I read most genres apart from sci fi and horror, but would particularly like something in the land of literary/historical fiction or nonfiction. Even better if it is by a Moroccan author. Thanks in advance for the recs and I love the show! --Sara   2. Hi Jen and Amanda! My friends and I have toyed with the idea of starting a book club for years, and I was finally able to corral everyone into one group text to schedule our first meet-up (which will be around mid-January)! All the details have been decided, except for the most important item, which is choosing the actual book that we'll read. My friends believe that, because I reached out and organized the event, I should also have the responsibility of selecting the first book. I can't handle the pressure of this first world problem, so I'm asking for your help. We're all women in our mid-twenties who are in various stages in our careers and personal lives, but we're all in agreement about the genres we're into: romance, mystery/thriller, and travel/adventure. Any suggestions on how to kick off our book club would be greatly appreciated! Bonus points if these books tackle the awkward quarter-life crisis themes that we all experience in our mid-twenties. Thanks! --Colby   3. Hello! I am looking for your thoughts/recommendations on the read harder challenge task of “classic of genre fiction.” I was thinking of doubling up on this task and Oprah’s book club pick “I Know This Much Is True” by Wally Lamb” Would it count for classic ? Do you have any other recommendations for this task ? --Stef   4. Hello, I am looking for novels about things like conspiracy theories and secret societies and such--kind of like the Da Vinci code, but well written (and I guess a bit more "literary"). I tried The Name of the Rose, but found it way too dry, and also didn't like the Rabbit Back Literature Society. I've read and enjoyed all of Marisha Pessl's books, and Mr. Penumbra's 24 hr bookstore. The Dante Club is on my TBR. --Danielle   5. I love the recommendations you guys give. I love nonfiction audiobooks. But I have trouble finding new ones to listen to. My favorites are The Gene and The Emperor of all Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Quiet:The Power of introverts, Grit by Angela Duckworth, and THe End of Average by Todd Rose. I am just not sure where to go from here. I have Isaac's Storm and When Breath Becomes Air on my TBR. --Stacey   6. Hello! I love all things book riot, but especially this podcast! Your recommendations fuel my never ending TBR list, and it brings me so much joy to hear others as excited about books as I am! Now I would love to hear your thoughts on cozy mysteries! I am in grad school right now for occupational therapy, so these light hearted stories (aside from all the murder and deception) seem like something that I could really get into to distract me from my persistent neurofatigue. This is a new genre that I have delved into recently, specifically the magic potion mystery series by Heather Blake. I love the aspects of the small town, hitching post, that is depicted in the series, and the quirky characters. Are there any specific cozy mystery series you guys love? I think I stared at the shelf in the mystery section of the bookstore for a solid hour before I settled on Heather Blake's series. There is so much out there! I need more direction! Thanks so much, --Brittany, tired grad student   7. Hello all! I recently discovered the show and am loving all of the good, odd-to-find recommendations I wouldn't normally have heard of. I am the solo mom of a beautiful toddler who is both American and African (her father is from Ethiopia where I used to live). Do you know of any books that talk about raising strong, proud biracial or bi-cultural children? TIA! --M   Books Discussed I Thought It Was Just Me by Brene Brown Pit Bull by Bronwen Dickey The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo Dark Matter by Blake Crouch Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits by Laila Lalami The Happy Marriage by Tahar Ben Jelloun, translated by Andre Nafis-Sahely Laila Lalami on Moroccan literature Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube by Blair Braverman (trigger warning: sexual assault) The Monsters of Templeton by Lauren Groff Dune by Frank Herbert Genre fiction classics post One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, translated by Gregory Rabassa The Secret History by Donna Tartt Labyrinth by Kate Mosse The Earth Moved by Amy Stewart Between The World And Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates, read by the author, cosigned by contributor Ashley Holstrom A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn Aunt Dimity’s Death by Nancy Atherton (rec’d by Sarah Nicolas) My Two Grannies by Floella Benjamin, illustrated by Margaret Chamberlain Marisol McDonald Doesn’t Match by Monica Brown, illustrated by Sara Palacios
