durée : 00:02:13 - Les 80'' - par : Nicolas Demorand - Vous avez envie de vous changer les idées ces temps-ci, et je pense deviner pourquoi… Dans ces moments, rien de tel qu'un bon bouquin et ce matin, dès la couverture, vous devinez que vous avez quelque chose de tordu entre les mains.

durée : 00:01:57 - Les 80'' - par : Nicolas Demorand - Il s'appelle Turk. Autrefois, il était le bassiste d'un groupe de heavy metal mondialement connu mais là, il a l'impression de « rôtir comme un cochon dans un four » en Thaïlande, dans ce petit coin de paradis qui abrite un hôtel de très grand luxe.

[…] Rénovée de fond en comble, enfin apaisée, enfin de droite, la Salle 101 chante les louanges du gouvernement via des chroniques assez orientées, juge plutôt: Rebel Moon, film (?) de Zack Snyder. Mars Express, vraie réussite réussie de Jérémie Périn. Elephant Crunch, dernière drôlerie de Mark Haskell Smith. N’est-ce pas merveilleux ? « Quand je […]

Trust, excellent roman de Hernàn Diaz. À bras raccourci, excellente drôlerie de Mark Haskell Smith. Allez, soyons fous. « Azy g ri1 kompri » se plaint un […]

With gimlet-eyed cool and razor-sharp wit, these spare, stylish stories from master of modern crime fiction Tod Goldberg assemble a world of gangsters and con men, of do-gooders breaking bad and those caught in the crossfire. The uncle of an FBI agent spends his life as sheriff in different cities, living too close to the violent acts of men; a cocktail waitress moves through several desert towns trying to escape the unexplainable loss of an adopted daughter; a drug dealer with a penchant for karaoke meets a talkative lawyer and a silent clown in a Palm Springs bar. Witty, brutal, and fast-paced, these stories expand upon the saga of Chicago hitman-turned-Vegas-rabbi Sal Cupertine–first introduced in Gangsterland and continued in Gangster Nation–while revealing how the line between good and bad is often a mirage. Goldberg discusses The Low Desert with Mark Haskell Smith. This episode was recorded on February 24, 2021 during a live Crowdcast event hosted by Skylight Books.

Today's podcast is with the greatest author since Ernest Hemingway, Mark Haskell Smith.  A bold statement I know but he is that good. His latest book "Naked At Lunch: A Reluctant Nudist's Adventures In The Clothing-Optional World” is a fantastic and enlightening treatment of the hidden (metaphorically) world of nudists. What makes Mark so unique and his books so incredible is his approach and outlook on life.  He is the epitome of someone living an epic life.   In this revealing podcast we cover: the dangers of hiking in the Swiss alps nude; why no one is ever offended by cottage cheese (and why that's a bad); why replacing envy with gratitude leads to happiness; the beauty of pickles & Twitter and  why simple pleasures are underrated.  A successful playwright and author, Mark gives advice about doing your own thing and how to become a unique artist, no matter what you do.    Mark's been a hero of mine for a while so interviewing him was the 1st time I've ever been nervous on the podcast.  Luckily, Mark is as good of a guy as he is an author.  He's honest, genuine, funny as shit and just a blast to talk with.  Plus he laughed at my jokes which is always nice.  Check it out and if you haven't read any of his books, I recommend them highly.  Check out his site: www.MarkHaskellSmith.com

A Death in Vegas (White Whisker Books)  Love Will Make YOu Drink and Gamble, Stay Out Late At Night (White Whisker Books) Join us tonight for a very special eventing with local publisher White Whisker Books! In A Death in Vegas, the president of a company that specializes in beneficial bugs for organic gardeners discovers a young woman dead in his Las Vegas hotel suite. She had worked as a sexy lady bug at his convention booth -- and he had nothing to do with her death. While that's being investigated, the FBI raids his booth on a money-laundering scam that he knows nothing about. Soon, the coroner doesn't have good news, either. Who has set him up? Why? With the police and FBI are against him, and his wife missing, he flees to find answers and his wife. Love Will Make You Drink and Gamble, Stay Out Late at Night brings a number of Shelly Lowenkopf's previously published short stories together in a single volume. Lowenkopf is best known as a master instructor of fiction writing and a book editor. He taught for over thirty years at the University of Southern California, and now at the noted College of Creative Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara. All the while, he's been publishing these short gems. All the stories revolve around life in Santa Barbara, the oceanside city north of Los Angeles, where people go after they've burned out in San Francisco and L.A. But there's no safe haven anywhere. Interwoven into Santa Barbara's picturesque setting, the people in these twelve stories reveal what their hearts and souls encounter in relationships. Their misreadings, mistakes, and misadventures bare what happens to people who love another.  Praise for A Death in Vegas "With his tongue planted firmly in cheek, Christopher Meeks spins a charming and surprisingly sexy tale of murder, betrayal, and the importance of beneficial insects." -Mark Haskell Smith, author of Baked and Raw: A Love Story "I've never, ever wanted to go to Vegas. I don't care if what happens there, stays there. But Christopher Meeks makes me want to go so I can find out who done it. A fun, exciting read, with Chris's usual wonderful writing and great sense of humor." -Jessica Barksdale Inclan, author of Her Daughter's Eyes and How to Bake a Man. "Christopher Meeks had me at page three. I couldn't wait to find out how Patton Burch was going to explain the naked body he woke up to in his Las Vegas hotel room - first to the cops and then to his wife." -Sam Sattler, Book Chase Praise for Love Will Make You Drink and Gamble, Stay Out Late at Night "Shelly Lowenkopf is a gifted, humane story-teller. Love Will Make You Drink and Gamble, Stay Out Late at Night' is a delight."--Aram Saroyan Christopher Meeks first published short fiction in a number of literary journals, and the stories are available in two collections,The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea and Months and Seasons. His literary novels have received much acclaim. For instance, The Brightest Moon of the Century is a story of a man who yearns for love and success, covering over thirty years—a tale that Marc Schuster of Small Press Reviews describes as “a great and truly humane novel in the tradition of Charles Dickens and John Irving.” Recently, Meeks has focused on crime novels. His first, Blood Drama, has a graduate student in theatre (writing a thesis on David Mamet) in a struggle with a ruthless killer. The new A Death in Vegas is a mystery based on the death of a young woman and the wrong man charged with it. Visit Christopher Meeks online at www.chrismeeks.com. Shelly Lowenkopf taught in the University of Southern California's Master of Professional Writing Program for 34 years, has taught at the annual Santa Barbara Writer's Conference since 1980, and has been guest lecturer in many schools and conferences. He is currently Visiting Professor at the College of Creative Studies, UCSB, with classes in noir fiction, the modern short story, genre fiction, and developing a literary voice. Mr. Lowenkopf has served as editorial director for literary, general trade, mass market, and scholarly book publishers, seeing over 500 books through the editorial and production process. His own short fiction has appeared widely in the literary press.

Hello all, Hey, it’s new episode day! This week we welcome Mark Haskell-Smith, author of the hilarious Heart of Dankness, who shares Sarah Levine’s brilliant picaresque novel Treasure Island. We loved it. We also share some really good stuff from our bookshelves about being a starving, boxing circus freak who lives under a bridge. (Or at least, if we combined all of our recommendations into one book, that’s what it would be about. Someone write this!) And finally, Tod once again tries to stump Rider and Julia on what’s a real poem and what’s just Tod reading stuff in a ridiculous poet-y voice. Learn more about your ad choices.
