Robert Lawson is the author of the brand-new book Solidarity Forever: The Art and Soul of Stevie Van Zandt. As soon as he heard Van Zandt's debut solo album Men Without Women in early 1983, Robert was completely devoted to every note. He first met Van Zandt backstage on his Voice Of America solo tour in 1984, and has kept in touch with him ever since. He's now doing a serious deep dive to definitively document the musical career of the great Stevie Van Zandt. From his early days in New Jersey bands, to teaming up with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band, to the Sopranos, and beyond. This is a book every Stevie Van Zandt fan should own!Purchase a copy of Solidarity Forever: The Art and Soul of Stevie Van Zandt Episode Playlist (Curated by Robert Lawson)---------- BookedOnRock.com The Booked On Rock YouTube Channel Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:FACEBOOKINSTAGRAMTIKTOKX Find Your Nearest Independent Bookstore Contact The Booked On Rock Podcast: thebookedonrockpodcast@gmail.com The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe

One True Podcast welcomes the great Larry Grimes to discuss “Today Is Friday,” the curious playlet from Men Without Women about three Roman soldiers and a Jewish barman discussing Jesus's crucifixion.This interview explores the resonance of the story and what it tells us about Hemingway's lifelong quest for the religious experience. We discuss Hemingway's fascination with executions, masculine Christianity, and hybrid religions. We also explore how the 3rd Roman Soldier unexpectedly emerges as one of the great characters of Hemingway's short fiction.“Today Is Friday” continues One True Podcast's ambitious project of tackling every Hemingway short story.

On this episode, we finally complete our look at the Holy Trinity of the Jersey Shore sound by diving headfirst into the 1982 debut by Little  Steven and the Disciples of Soul - Men Without Women (We talked about the other two on Episode 34 - Springsteen and Episode 38 -  Southside Johnny). It is not hyperbole to say that Steven Van Zandt has likely done more to promote rock-n-roll and rhythm and blues than any other musician alive today. A fine musician in his own right, Van Zandt cut his teeth working with Springsteen in several bands before joining the E Street Band as a rhythm guitarist and horn arranger. He's also a top-notch songwriter, having written a great many of Southside Johnny's best songs. On Men Without Women  Van Zandt uses his horn arranging skills to full effect. Little Steven is deadly serious about his rock-n-roll. Backed by the Miami Horns and getting some assistance from fellow E-Street band members  (including  Springsteen himself), the songs on this album are powerful and earnest.  Fortunately, they are also flat-out fun.

Love this short story “An Independent Organ” by Murakami Haruki from “Men Without Women”. Some questions worth thinking after finishing this story: Do you have an independent organ as well when it comes to love? When stripped away from all external and societal expectations, what makes you “you”? What do you want to be remembered for? What is/will be your legacy? **Song at the end “清醒” (Awake) :http://bit.ly/331Cecw -- Would love to hear from you - please comment below anything you'd like to share!

Pat welcomes Rock'N'Roll Hall of Fame inductee Steven Van Zandt to the Zoom Room to discuss his career as a writer, actor, guitarist, singer, producer and member of the legendary E Street Band.

"IN ANOTHER COUNTRY" is told through the eyes of an unnamed member of the Ambulance corps in Milan, Italy following World War 1, presumed to be from the perspective of Nick Adams, a character that author Ernest Hemmingway created to see the world through his own eyes. The story is short, but concise, and speaks of a myriad of issues of the time, some which have transcended time and are surprisingly relevant today…

This month, Dave Pezza is joined by none other than Daniel Ford, author and host of the Writer’s Bone podcast. Daniel returns once again to NovelClass to discuss a pair of short story collections titled Men Without Women. This first is Ernest Hemingway’s famous collection, first published in 1927. The second is by Japanese author Haruki Murakami, originally published in the Japanese in 2014. First published in 1927 by Charles Scribner’s Sons, Ernest Hemingway’s Men Without Women was Hemingway’s second short story collection and is not only considered to be one of the American literary icon’s best works, but also features stories such as “Hills Like White Elephants,” which have become part of the American Literary canon. At the heart of this collection, Hemingway dissects and investigates the forlorn and difficult lives of men who have lost, misunderstood, or ben alienated from the women in their lives. Originally published in the Japanese in 2014, Haruki Murakami’s Men Without Women cleverly titles itself against Hemingway’s famous collection, deriving using many of the same themes and disillusionment. However, Murakami’s collection offers a much more nuanced look into the motivations and emotions of his male characters who continually find themselves navigating the lonely and confusing state of being a man without women. Please enjoy our discussion of Men Without Women. This month's episode is sponsored by OneRoom.

This week, author Gila Green reprises her role as co-host to discuss The Last Watchman of Old Cairo by Michael David Lukas. Green is the author of several novels. Her most recent, No Entry, is a young adult novel following the trials of 17-year-old Yael Amar as she explores an elephant conservation program in South Africa’s Kruger National Park. No Entry is available now wherever books are sold. The Last Watchman of Old Cairo was published on March 13, 2018 by Spiegel & Grau. In his second novel, Lukas attempts to tell three thrilling stories that span hundreds of years and converge on the magical city of Cairo, Egypt. The novel’s primary protagonist is Joseph al-Raqb, a literature student at Berkley with a Jewish-Egyptian mother who brought him to America as a child and a Muslim-Egyptian father who still lives and works in the city of Cairo. After Joseph’s father dies and leaves him a mystery gift, Joseph must return to Cairo and discover his father’s final wishes. Almost a hundred years earlier, two Christian sisters from England return to Cairo for another archeological adventure to undercover the rumored and historic Ezra Scroll, a perfect iteration of the Torah that has been lost for thousands of years. The sisters have journeyed far in hopes that the scroll might reside in the attic of the storied Ibn Ezra Synagogue in Old Cairo, one of the last synagogues in the city. Lukas brings his readers even further back in time to follow the exploits of Ali, Joseph’s ancestor from nearly a thousand years ago, whose curious duties as a Muslim night watchman of the Ibn Ezra Synagogue leads to generations of service to one of the strongest Jewish communities in Cairo. Lukas undertakes a daunting task in his sophomore work, continually working out his own personal conflicts between his Jewish and Muslim backgrounds through his main characters. His ability to bring such a historic and iconic city out of the pages and into the readers imagination is nothing short of stunning and succeeds in bringing this complex, multi-faceted, and tumultuous city to life. Although some of his plots fall short over such an expansive narrative, Lukas undoubtedly proves his ability to weave an intriguing and evocative story that sticks with the reader for quite some time. Next read(s): Men Without Women by Ernest Hemingway and Men Without Women by Haruki Murakami.

Chris and Rifa dig into their week in culture. This week we taped the show on an iPhone internal microphone, in a hotel room in central Edinburgh, so forgive us if the sound is a bit off. We went to the V&A in London to check out the Video Games exhibition but got distracted by the even better Future Starts Now exhibition about how technology is reshaping all our lives. We also checked out Danish company Makropol's intense, immersive (mixed reality) theatre production Doom Room at The Old Market in Hove. Rifa is reading articles about how the UK Government is mistreating the Windrush Generation and Chris is digging into the new Haruki Murakami short story collection Men Without Women. We're in Scotland because we're on our way up to Dundee to check out the new Victoria & Albert Design Museum that just opened. So next week's episode will feature this gorgeous new V&A and our short Scottish mini-adventure.

Today's theme: Murakami Haruki Murakami is one of Korea's most-read foreign novelists The Murakami boom, known as the "Haruki Syndrome" here, is backed by strong sales. His latest full-length novel Killing Commendatore was published here in Korea just recently. Upon its release, the book topped many book store charts across the nation. His international status heralds the twenty first century's march toward a more connected world, one in which birth has little consequence over influence, and everyone is inheritor of the multitudinous cultures that came before. Murakami's global appeal owes much to the wide range of his own tastes and talents. >>>The Conversationalist With Ted Goossen Translator of Japanese literature and professor at York University in Canada -Translated many of Murakami's books including Strange Library, Hear the Wind Sing, Pinball 1973, Men Without Women -and currently translating Killing Commendatore Why do you think Haruki is described as a masterful storyteller? Why do you think he's such a global phenomenon? Literary critic Yoon Sang-in from Seoul National University points out the lack of Asian culture or context in Haruki's stories, saying that the only thing that bridges Asia and his books is the market. Do you think this is a fair criticism? & Eunbi Kim Pianist based in New York who performed a multi-media project “Murakami Music” in Symphony Space in Manhattan The subtitle of your performance is Stories of Loss and Nostalgia. Do you think this is a theme that encompasses most of Murakami's works? >>>A Few Minutes with Amos I had to help a friend fix her computer. Anytime I look at someone else's computer I almost start crying. It's so full of junk that does nothing but slow it down. You don't need to download 100 different anti-virus programs, your OS already has a pretty good one built in. You don't need 500 different search assistants. Your poor computer is literally crying from the strain of all these unnecessary programs. >>>Next week: Mind / memory training

The StoryThe second part of a special edition two part – sort of – story. I say ‘sort of’ because the last episode and this one include the same story, but done differently. Last week you heard a studio produced recording of the long version of the story. This week includes a much shorter live version performed at the Stories We Don’t Tell event.That time I went skydiving with Thumper. All the fear, all the wonder, all the terrifying and ultimately profound moments.Paul’s PickHaruki Murakami’s books are addictive. Okay, this is a general pick for the author’s total oeuvre. Really, just grab one of his many books and you’ll get hooked as well. I just picked up his latest collection of stories called Men Without Women, which will probably be featured on Paul’s Pick in the future.An ex-girlfriend of mine turned me on to Murakami years ago with Norwegian Wood and I quickly devoured every one of his books I could get my hands on. If you do want a gateway drug into Murakami’s work, check out 1Q84. Sure, it’s a big book, but you’ll tear through it at a ridiculous speed.

In this episode, the studio is graced with the presence of Kezia Noble, seductress extraordinaire! On opening, Paul struggles to make a point about Monica Bellucci’s character in the new Bond movie Spectre. He asks if such undeveloped female characters are reflective of a culture of Tinder, Facebook and globalization – a culture of surfaces – or if his perspective has changed now that he’s married… Kez and Pete hijack the topic to discuss their favorite Bond girls, and what makes Bond so alluring. Next, we discuss how “bonding rituals” are different for boys and girls, and what that says about gender stereotypes. Peter and Paul are fascinated to learn that women must disparage themselves in front of other women, if they hope to be accepted. Men’s bonding rituals are much simpler and often involve sports and career, veering away from deeply emotional subjects. Such superficial connection allows for classic male bonding activities, such as pick-up basketball wherein strangers come together to play sport and then disperse. Pete describes the male-only environment of the cigar lounge, and Paul brings out the short-story compilation “Men Without Women” by Ernest Hemingway. Finally, we end on a discussion of work-life balance piqued by an October 10th Economist article “Juggling mums and halo dads,” a review of Anne-Marie Slaughter’s new book. Slaughter offers a riposte to the tired refrain that women can have it all if they just prioritize and work hard; she identifies the root of the problem as “a systematic imbalance in the esteem granted ‘two complementary human drives: competition, the impulse to pursue our self-interest…and care, the impulse to put others first.” Kezia and the men discuss.
