The Book of Night Women by Marlon James Andy and Dani continue crying. Get ready for another doozy of a book... did we stack the front half of our year with too many good books?

This week we are reading a BOOK, and I mean that in the best possible way. The Book of Night Women by Booker Prize winner Marlon James is moving, heartbreaking, magical, and dark. It is also a favorite of this week's guest, Elizabeth Klaczynski. Elizabeth is a public historian and a curator currently living in Richmond, Virginia. She blames the American Girls series for her love of both history and reading. Elizabeth usually has her head buried in a book, but you can also find her anywhere there is water or playing with her very spoiled fur babies.

The largest slave uprising in the 18th century British Caribbean was also a node of the global conflict called the Seven Year's War, though it isn't usually thought of that way. In the first few days of the quarantine and our current geopolitical and epidemiological shitshow, John and Elizabeth spoke with Vincent Brown, who recently published Tacky's Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War (Harvard UP, 2019), centered on a group of enslaved West Africans, known under the term “Coromantees” who were the chief protagonists in this war. Tracing the vectors of this war within the Caribbean, the North Atlantic, and West Africa, Vince shows us how these particular enslaved Africans, who are caught in the gears of one of human history's most dehumanizing institutions, constrained by repressive institutions, social-inscribed categories of differences and brutal force, operate tactically within and across space in complex and cosmopolitan ways. Vince locates his interest in warfare (as an object of study) in emergence of new world order and disorder through the Gulf Wars. His attention to routes and mobilities he credits to an epidemiological turn of mind–perhaps inherited from his father Willie Brown, a medical microbiologist now retired from UCSD. The idea of the vector shaped his first book as well. Vince's “cartographic narrative” “A Slave Revolt in Jamaica: 1760-1761” and the film he produced with director Llewellyn Smith, Herskovits at the Heart of Blackness (which traces African studies and anthropology's understanding of cultural movements from between Africa and the Americas) also explore these burning questions. Along the way, Vince discusses C.L.R. James' notion of conflict, war and global connectedness in The Black Jacobins and the ways that categories of social difference both are constituted by global capital (reminding us of our conversation on caste, class and whiteness with Ajantha Subramanian) and those bumper stickers from the early 1980s in which the Taliban were the good guys.

John Plotz of Recall This Book spoke in 2020 with Sanjay Krishnan, Boston University English professor and Conrad scholar about his marvelous new book on that grumpiest of Nobel laureates, V. S Naipaul's Journeys. Krishnan sees the “contrarian and unsentimental” Trinidad-born but globe-trotting novelist and essayist as early and brilliant at noticing the unevenness with which the blessings and curses of modernity were distributed in the era of decolonization. Centrally, Naipaul realized and reckoned with the always complex and messy question of the minority within postcolonial societies. He talks with John about Naipaul's early focus on postcolonial governments, and how unusual it was in the late 1950's for colonial intellectuals to focus on “the discomfiting aspects of postcolonial life….and uneven consequences of the global transition into modernity.” Most generatively of all, Sanjay insists that the “troublesome aspect is what gives rise to what's most positive in Naipaul.” Discussed in the Episode Chinua Achebe, There Was a Country (2012) George Lamming, e.g. (In the Castle of My Skin, 1953) V.

Why? Making time to be with Jesus Living a surrendered life (serving others) Sharing my story Discipling others What is my next step of obedience? Who am I going to tell what my next step is? If you're able to…and it's safe…grab a notebook and get ready to take some notes! Thanks for listening!  We can't wait for She Is Community Night happening on Monday, July 31st!

Often, we evaluate our lives based on the creation story, without truly factoring in the ramifications of the Fall. This fall played an enormous role in our lives, including the lives of women. We wrongly assess certain curses to be gender roles, instead of understanding what the totality of scripture has to day about them. Learning God's intent for woman kind and applying practical godly wisdom to mitigate those curses will help us to live more overcoming lives. Many women do not know that there is freedom from many societal ills and personal proclivities engendered by the fall through maturity in Christ and prayer. || Support me at paypal.me/lelawinston || Subscribe at lovewalk.substack.com and volunteer to help us digitize content!

Pour La Potion, Marlon James revient notamment sur sa thérapie de conversion et la nécessité de réactiver la mythologie africaine via la vie romanesque de ses créatures les plus légendaires. Bonus : l'auteur nous dévoile même quelques sortilèges... !“Je n'avais pas la mythologie africaine, je n'avais pas de folklore africain auquel me référer, je ne connaissais même pas les grandes villes africaines. Donc je pense que c'est une partie entière de mon identité que je n'avais pas en grandissant.”Et c'est précisément pour combler ce manque que Marlon James a un jour pris la plume. Né à Kingston en Jamaïque en 1970, aujourd'hui Marlon James est écrivain et enseigne la littérature à l'université Macalester de St Paul, dans le Minnesota. Après une entrée en littérature en 2005 avec le roman John Crow's Devil, suivi quatre ans plus tard par The Book of Night Women — soit l'histoire de la révolte d'une femme esclave dans une plantation en Jamaïque au début du 19e siècle — Marlon James était récompensé d'un Booker Price en 2015 pour A Brief History of Seven Killings, un roman génial qui revient notamment sur les conséquences de la tentative d'assassinat de Bob Marley en Jamaïque à la fin des années 70. Aujourd'hui l'écrivain jamaïcain vient de publier le premier tome d'une saga fantastique intitulée The Dark Star Trilogy aux éditions Albin Michel. Ce nouveau roman s'intitule Léopard Noir, Loup Rouge, et il se résume ainsi : “Dans un lointain royaume, Pisteur est connu de tous pour ses extraordinaires talents de chasseur. Ce don lui vaut d'être recruté, aux côtés de 8 autres mercenaires, pour retrouver un mystérieux garçon disparu 3 ans plus tôt. Mais très vite, de cités en forêts légendaires, les obstacles se multiplient, et d'étranges créatures semblent bien décidées à leur barrer la route… Pisteur ne peut alors s'empêcher de s'interroger : qui est vraiment cet enfant qu'il recherche ?” Avec Léopard Noir, Loup Rouge, Marlon James crée un univers fantastique qui ne manque pas d'évoquer le Seigneur des Anneaux ou le Wakanda de Black Panther. Mais la langue de Marlon James est unique : queer, magique et décoloniale, elle invente une Afrique légendaire, antique, dangereuse et hallucinatoire avec des personnages qu'il aurait fallu inventer si l'écrivain ne l'avait pas fait. Sorcières, anti-sorcières, chasseurs métamorphes, oiseaux-foudres, trolls des marais de sang et autres monstres plus ou moins terrifiants… Hébergé par Acast.

Simon and Rachel speak with novelist Marlon James. Born in Jamaica in 1970, his novel "A Brief History of Seven Killings" won the Man Booker Prize in 2015, and was also a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in the United States and a New York Times Notable Book. Marlon is now working on a trilogy of African fantasy novels, which began with "Black Leopard, Red Wolf", a finalist for the US National Book Award for fiction in 2019, followed by "Moon Witch, Spider King" in 2022. His earlier novels include "The Book of Night Women", which won the Dayton Literary Peace Prize in 2010, and "John Crow's Devil", his debut in 2005. We spoke to Marlon about growing up in Jamaica and his decision to leave the country, winning the Booker Prize in 2015, and his new "Dark Star" trilogy.

“Wussy” European vampires. African folklore and mythology, and how they help establish that “homophobia is not African.” How reading Jackie Collins and Leon Uris during childhood fosters a lifelong passion for books. The structuring of an immersive, propulsive fantasy trilogy. This week on Book Dreams, Eve and Julie discuss all of this and so much more with Marlon James, the powerhouse author of A Brief History of Seven Killings, which won the 2015 Man Booker Prize and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Marlon talks about his new novel, Moon Witch, Spider King, the follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Black Leopard, Red Wolf, which was a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction in 2019. Marlon shares with Julie and Eve how certain experiences in his own life have shown up in his work, and he previews “Get Millie Black,” the crime drama he is writing and producing for HBO, which his mother “will say is inspired by her, because she is a detective. It's not. Please stop that, mother.” Marlon James was born in Jamaica in 1970. In addition to A Brief History of Seven Killings and the first two books of the “Dark Star” trilogy–Black Leopard, Red Wolf and Moon Witch, Spider King–he is also the author of The Book of Night Women, which won the 2010 Dayton Literary Peace Prize and the Minnesota Book Award and was a finalist for the 2010 National Book Critics Circle Award in Fiction and an NAACP Image Award. His first novel John Crow's Devil was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for First Fiction and the Commonwealth Writers Prize and was a New York Times Editors' Choice. Marlon is the co-host of the podcast “Marlon and Jake Read Dead People,” where he and his editor, Jake Morrissey, discuss the classics.

Producer: Torquil MacLeod. You can find a playlist called Prose and Poetry featuring a range of authors including Ian Rankin, Nadifa Mohamed, Paul Mendez, Ali Smith, Helen Mort, Max Porter, Hermione Lee, Derek Owusu, Jay Bernard, Ben Okri on the Free Thinking website https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p047v6vh

Finding our God-given purpose is just the first step—it’s truly owning who He meant us to be that makes a difference, because follow through and commitment mean everything. However, earthly obstacles can get in our way of fully believing in and accepting ourselves. That’s why we need Christ so desperately, to help us understand our own value. Gospel singer Kierra Sheard-Kelly has waded through her fair share of negativity and body-shaming, and pursuing a career in the spotlight meant that there were scores of mean comments thrown her way. Kierra decided that she’d fortify herself by rooting her heart and her feelings in the word of God, which centered her and helped her embrace how God shaped her. Now, she’s living her faith boldly and proudly, encouraging others to stand out. Fox News anchor Shannon Bream started out as a lawyer, but felt a deep pull to the world of journalism, and sacrificed endlessly to work her way in. After being told by one television exec that she wasn’t good for TV, and that she’d never make it in the business, Shannon took a good hard look at her skills and her purpose, dug her heels in, and trusted that God would open the doors needed, and eventually she was led to a series of opportunities that got her where she is today. Now, she’s sharing stories about women in the Bible who sat at God’s feet, and is highlighting how passionately Christ cared for His relationships with women—placing them in positions where they can maximize their influence.    Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Romans 8:38 and 39 Jesus Calling Jesus Always Past interview: Mike Weaver Upcoming interview: Darryl Strawberry   Kierra Sheard-Kelly Clark Sisters Big, Bold, and Beautiful: Owning the Woman God Made You to Be Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren Proverbs 11:14   Shannon Bream Fox News at Night Women of the Bible Speak Finding the Bright Side Liberty University Florida State Miss America pageant program Miss USA Brit Hume Fox News Queen Esther Deborah   Interview Quotes: “I literally have gotten so many answers from my advisors. And that can be my friends, my loved ones, my sibling, anybody that I feel like God has said yes to. And they've contributed so much to the path of my life.” - Kierra Sheard-Kelly “I live my faith, bold and proud, by owning who I am, owning what God is doing in my life.” - Kierra Sheard-Kelly “Because you know Jesus, it doesn't make you small, it doesn't make you weird, it doesn't make you abnormal, it actually puts you in a secure place, in a sure place,” - Kierra Sheard-Kelly “There's a glory that rests on your life, and heaven is rejoicing when you live it out and when you own it.” - Kierra Sheard-Kelly “Even if you don't speak the same language, you can have the same heart and be a part of the body of Christ.” - Shannon Bream “Your job cannot be your God, it can't be what drives your life.” - Shannon Bream “Jesus treated women as equals. They were studying with Him at His feet, which was not common in those days.” - Shannon Bream “The God who intervened in all of these situations centuries ago is the same God today. I'm struck by the fact that these frustrations and troubles and challenges the women had, many of them are very common to today. Family troubles, sibling rivalries, chronic illness, financial trouble, widowhood, infertility, betrayal.” - Shannon Bream  ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel: Audio Playlist: https://bit.ly/2PrbuwH Video Playlist: https://bit.ly/2PsmEkJ What’s Good?

Hello and welcome to the Baha’i Blogcast with me your host, Rainn Wilson.

In this episode, I'm joined virtually by Novin and Juliet who are based in the UK and are the founders of Oneworld Publications, an awesome boutique publisher that punches way above their weight with tons of awards to their name!

This week on the Richard Crouse Show Podcast: “Black Leopard, Red Wolf” author Marlon James, recently named one of Time’s 100 most influential people. From Time magazine: James lives part-time in St. Paul and teaches at Macalester College, where he is writer-in-residence. He was born in Jamaica and is the author of “The Book of Night Women,” winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize; “A Brief History of Seven Killings,” winner of the Man Booker Prize, and “Black Leopard, Red Wolf,” already being made into a movie. About that book, Rushdie writes, it is “highly original, its language surging with power, its imagination all-encompassing. Marlon is a writer who must be read.” Then, stand-up Comic & host of CNN’s “United Shades of America” W. Kamau Bell’s Twitter bio reads, “I tell jokes, but I’m not kidding.” Find out what he means in this exclusive, full-length interview. And finally, Spike Lee gives us his perfect movie double bill!

Is it ok to “feel a way” when a Caribbean author doesn’t use our language and our culture in their work? We love reading novels and poetry from the Caribbean, especially ones written by Jamaican authors, but are we demanding in our expectations? Also, wtf is magical realism?

Amanda and Jenn discuss books about mother-daughter relationships, climate change primers, engaging audiobooks, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Book Riot’s Read Harder 2020 Challenge, A People’s History of Heaven by Mathangi Subramanian, new in paperback from Algonquin Books, and Book Riot Insiders. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. FEEDBACK Daevabad Trilogy (City of Brass #1) by S.A. Chakraborty, Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik, and City of Spires series (City of Strife #1) (rec’d by Eric) QUESTIONS 1. Hello! I’m hoping to find a couple of books- fiction or nonfiction that delve into the complicated world of mother-daughter relationships. I don’t necessarily have a BAD relationship with my own mother, but we have a very difficult time communicating about anything real, and I struggle with how much she depends on my “needing” her to do things for me- even though I am almost 30 and have always been very independent. Books are often my therapy, and I’m looking for stories that will help inspire and motivate me with ideas on how to better our relationship. Or, at least, make me feel like I am not alone in this. Any recommendations? Thanks so much!! 2. Hi! A dear friend of mine was home schooled in a restrictive (abusive) environment. The only books he has ever read are the Bible and Twilight. Later in adulthood, he also suffered a traumatic brain injury, so his ability to concentrate is sometimes low. He’s recently decided to go for his GED and we are all very happy for him! One of the things he wants to do is read some of the books on the high school curriculum, but honestly I’m not sure where to start him. I don’t want to discourage him by starting him on something like Pride and Prejudice or Lord of the Flies where both the vocabulary and the syntax would be unfamiliar to him. I don’t think he could parse the sentence structure. I’m trying to push him towards Stephen King or other really popular, compelling stories until he gets in the physical habit of reading, but he would really like something “literary”. Can you recommend something classic, but plain (American) English and good for fostering a love of reading in someone who has always been denied that opportunity? Thanks, -Ella 3. I’m asking for a book recommendation for my mom. For the last several years, we’ve been having conversations about climate change and the climate crisis. She knows it’s an issue, but hasn’t had the sense of urgency or engagement around it that I do. She’s never shown an interest in diving deeper into the topic until this weekend when I was home for Thanksgiving. She asked if I had a recommendation for a book (or podcast) that could explain it and why it’s such a crisis in a way that’s easy to follow. I heard your recommendation recently for So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo and I am wondering if there is a book like that for climate change? I feel like this is an opportunity to really get her engaged and I don’t want to mess it up!! Thanks and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! -Ashley 4. I have set the goal for myself to try to not read books by straight white men this year (going through at least March of next year), but have had some difficulty finding read-a-likes for the rereads I’ve been craving. I really want to read something in which the city of London is a character. My go to would be the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch or London: a Biography by Peter Ackroyd, both of which I loved. Help! Thanks! -Emi 5. I am looking for a captivating audiobook . Bahni Turpin is a favorite narrator of mine. I am not in the mood for humor or satire. I love literary fiction and I am specifically looking for books by and about people of the African diaspora. Do you have any good recommendations for me? Thank you. I am desperate for a good listen. My favorite listens to date include: Adult The Count of Monte Cristo The Seasons of Beento Blackbird Young Adult Dread Nation by Justina Ireland Children of Blood and Bone -Regina 6. I was recently diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, and I’m looking for a fiction novel that shows me I’m not alone. I’m not looking for something about social anxiety, though, and I’ve already read Turtles All the Way Down, All the Bright Places, Every Last Word and other mental health-centered books. I mostly read YA, but Adult or Middle Grade would be awesome too! If there’s an LGBT aspect that would be a great bonus. Thank you so much!! -A Chronic Worrier 7. I love books that are about everything and nothing with a hint of magical realism. Some of my favorites are: Wolf by Jim Harrison, Gilead by Marilyn Robinson, The Stranger by Albert Camus, The Secret History by Donna Tartt, The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro, and Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi. I’d love to discover less known writers; fiction only, please. Can’t wait to hear your picks! -Michelle BOOKS Young Jane Young by Gabrielle Zevin The Magical Language of Others by EJ Koh (tw: suicidal thoughts and attempts, disordered eating, domestic violence, sexual assault, depression) To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou (trigger warnings: child abuse) The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace-Wells Climate Changed by Philippe Squarzoni NW by Zadie Smith Brick Lane by Monica Ali (tw: domestic violence) Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi (tw: slavery) Book of Night Women by Marlon James, narrated by Robin Miles (tw: slavery & related violence) Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson (rec’d by Jamie Canaves) How To Be a Movie Star by TJ Klune (tw: suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety) Exit West by Mohsin Hamid Tentacle by Rita Indiana, translated by Achy Obejas (tw: sexual assault, transphobia, homophobia, use of slurs, racism)

A repost of one of our first episodes looking at A History of Seven Killings and The Book of Night Women by Marlon James. CONTENT WARNING: contains descriptions of graphic violence, oppression, and sexual assault.

The Book of Night Women is a sweeping, startling novel, a true tour de force of both voice and storytelling. It is the story of Lilith, born into slavery on a Jamaican sugar plantation at the end of the eighteenth century. Even at her birth, the slave women around her recognize a dark power that they and she will come to both revere and fear.  The Night Women, as they call themselves, have long been plotting a slave revolt, and as Lilith comes of age and reveals the extent of her power, they see her as the key to their plans. But when she begins to understand her own feelings and desires and identity, Lilith starts to push at the edges of what is imaginable for the life of a slave woman in Jamaica, and risks becoming the conspiracy's weak link.  Lilith's story overflows with high drama and heartbreak, and life on the plantation is rife with dangerous secrets, unspoken jealousies, inhuman violence, and very human emotion between slave and master, between slave and overseer, and among the slaves themselves. Lilith finds herself at the heart of it all. And all of it told in one of the boldest literary voices to grace the page recently--and the secret of that voice is one of the book's most intriguing mysteries.  give it a'listen SPOILER ALERT: we loved this book!

She has recently discovered all the Marvel movies and has watched them over and over. Some of the movies are a little…intense…but the genie is well out of the bottle, so . (I can’t say I’m too sad, because I love them also.) She also loves the TV show Agents of SHIELD. She recently asked me if she could read some of the Marvel graphic novels/comics. I haven’t read a lot myself—some Thor, Vision, and Black Panther, all of which I enjoyed very much. I handed her my Black Panther (Ta-Nehisi Coates), but she had trouble understanding it. The Thor and Vision I have read are graphic in the sex and violence department, which I’m not super crazy about her reading. So… Are there any Marvel graphic novels appropriate for her age group? And before you rec Ms Marvel, she really wants to read about these MCU characters she has fallen in love with. A little about her: She’s a prolific reader of fantasy, with particular loves for Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. She is reading The List, the Unwanteds series, and the School of Good and Evil series right now (and she’s always re-reading Harry Potter!). Anything you can recommend would be awesome! Thanks! -Brooke   2. My name is Candice, & my partner and I are driving from San Antonio, TX to Colorado Springs, CO for our first vacation. We would like to listen to an audiobook or two along the way; however, we would like something that we can both enjoy. Extra points for a book set in Colorado or with a Road tripping theme, though it is not required. We are both POCs, so an author that reflects that would be ideal. Trigger warnings include any form of sexual assault/abuse. To help: He’s an avid D&D player, and his reading likes include “Gritty Fantasy, Speculative Sci-Fi, & Witty Comedy”. His favorite authors are Brandon Sanderson, Issac Asimov, William Gibson, & Douglas Adams. He also really enjoyed the book Captain Freedom. My all-time favorite series is the Wayward Children Novellas by Seanan McGuire (Beneath the Sugar Sky was my Fav) & the Wayfarer series by Becky Chambers is a close follow-up. I am currently reading How Long ‘til Black Future Month by N.K. Jemisin, and cannot get enough of it. Other Science Fiction & Fantasy books of note for me are Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik, Circe by Madeline Miller, Roses and Rot by Kat Howard, & The Themis Files by Sylvain Neuvel. I also really love atmospheric thrillers & horror novels (the creepier the better). And if it helps, we both loved the Netflix show Russian Doll. Thank you so much for your book recommendation assistance! -Candice   3. I am currently in a reading drought. I am hoping that you will help me find a new series to enjoy. I have enjoyed Still Alice (Lisa Genova), an ember in the ashes (sabba tahir), snow child (eowyn ivey), the giver (Louis Lowry) and the Tattooist Of auschwitz (heather morris). Please help me find something similar. The snow child and the giver are my two all time favorite books. Open to anything minus non-fiction Thank you. -Kelsey   4. I am traveling to West Virginia in July for two reasons: 1. To visit my husbands family and 2. To do research for a short story that I’m writing about a haunted coal mine. For both these reasons, I want to learn a lot more about West Virginian culture, life, history, etc. I have already read Storming Heaven by Denise Giardina and The Stories of Breece D’J Pancake by Breece D’J Pancake and enjoyed both very much. I am not super picky, especially for something like this where I’m just trying to absorb as much knowledge about the history, culture, and how it shaped the lives of those in the region. I look forward to your recommendations — thanks! -Daniela   5. Hi all, I’m looking for some read-alikes for my sister and me. For my sister, I’m looking for a good book to get her as a graduation present. Her all-time favorite book is Girl Reading by Katie Ward, and I’ve heard her complain on multiple occasions that she can’t find anything else quite like it—which I would love to change! She generally tends towards magical realism, feminist literature, and something-is-slightly-off type plots (like in Never Let You Go by Kazuo Ishiguro). For me, I have a serious book hangover from Isabel Allende’s Island Beneath the Sea. I originally picked it up because it deals with the Haitian Revolution (I lived in Haiti for a year) but was just blown away by the style and mood of it; I’ve never so wanted to describe a book as sensual! I liked how the time moved so fluidly and the view points shifted subtlety but distinctly and also smaller details, such as the masterful way that Allende handled the continued rape of the main character, a slave woman, both as off-hand in the way that it would be treated at the time and yet as absolutely brutal and despicable. It doesn’t have to be set in the same era/place or deal with the same themes of slavery, etc; I just want something to make me Feel like this book did! THANK YOU, -C   6. Hello ! I Need some audiobooks recommendations. Something I can easily follow while doing my housework after baby goes to bed. One audiobook I LOVED was “The Year of Yes” I Would really like something non fiction again. Maybe some humour or a memoir but Nothing too sad please. Thanks -Stef   7. Hello wonderful people, I’m trying to deal with lots of the things right now. My wife is traveling a lot and I miss her. So I’m escaping into the world of monsters. Specifically 1890s-1920s monster hunter goodness. I recently read S.A. Sidor’s fury from the tomb and the Beast of Nightfell Hall as well as the 4 books in Rick Yancey’s Monstrumolgist series and am looking for more in that vein. I love the arcane vocabulary in those books as well as the sense of the exoticism of travel in the days before tv/ the internet. I also ADORE the relationship between Will Henry and Pellinore in the Monstrumologist. It’s so tortured and full of love and yet so horrible and that poor kid. Monsters are great but what I really need is a sense of the mysterious as well as a horrible sociopathic nihilist narrator voice combined with the inevitable longing for love and human connection. But monsters too if you can manage it. Thank you very very much and I hope you and everybody else has a great day. -Justin   Books Discussed Captain Marvel Vol 1: In Pursuit of Flight, written by Kelly Sue DeConnick, illustrated by Dexter Soy and Emma Rios Spidey Vol. 1: First Day by Robbie Thompson, illustrated by Nick Bradshaw Peter and Ned’s Ultimate Travel Journal by Preeti Chhibber, illustrated by George Clements and Stéphane Kardos (out June 4) The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden (TW mention of sexual assault) The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer Sugar Run by Mesha Maren (TW homophobia) What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia by Elizabeth Catte John Henry Days by Colson Whitehead The Mere Wife by Maria Dahvana Headley (TW PTSD) The Book of Night Women by Marlon James (many trigger warnings) My Life with Bob by Pamela Paul Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling The Last Werewolf by Glen Duncan Borderline by Mishell Baker (tw: suicide, self-harm)

Richard speaks to "Black Leopard, Red Wolf" author Marlon James, recently named one of Time's 100 most influential people. From Time magazine: James lives part-time in St. Paul and teaches at Macalester College, where he is writer-in-residence. He was born in Jamaica and is the author of "The Book of Night Women," winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize; "A Brief History of Seven Killings," winner of the Man Booker Prize, and "Black Leopard, Red Wolf," already being made into a movie. About that book, Rushdie writes, it is "highly original, its language surging with power, its imagination all-encompassing. Marlon is a writer who must be read."

Like when I woke up!"  They shared an actual rock bottom moment but that was a good laugh. Cooking with Intention "Our culinary lense is really one that is informed by an understanding of the country, the region, the history of that place and how do we really translate that into a visceral experience to all your senses." -Suzanne What are you most passionate about today? "Honestly, telling stories and sharing the magic that we have here. For me it really is about telling the untold, the unknown stories and that in some ways could be about the ingredients, the women, that's our great grandmother. Whenever I see something special and something magical here, I'm driven to share that." -Michelle  On The Fly Biggest roadblock in your path? Access to cheap money. The greatest rapper of all time?

Amanda and Jenn discuss the Tudors, feminism, audiobooks and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by My Lady’s Choosing: An Interactive Romance Novel by Larissa Zageris and Kitty Curran, published by Quirk Books, and Book Riot Insiders. You can enter our mystery giveaway at bookriot.com/mysterygiveaway.   Questions   1. Help! I cannot find scifi/ fantasy short stories on audio! I listened to your podcast a few weeks ago on short stories and I tried to find The Merry Spinster, Tender, and the Best American Sci/fi/fantasy, none of which are on audio. All I can find are Neil Gaiman and Ken Liu :( I would love to introduce short stories to my scifi/fantasy book club but I, personally, need an audiobook. --Jeanne   2. I'm spending all of May traipsing through various European cities (namely: London, Edinburgh, Berlin, Rome, and Paris) and am looking for something that talks to / is about / brings up the vibe of walking through European cities, getting off the beaten path (i.e. going where tourists don't go), and just generally living in or exploring these cities. Can you tell that I can't wait to get on that plane and start my vacation already?! I'm thinking something with the vibe of Lauren Elkin's "Flaneuse" and Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast", so I'm also happy to have a bit of history involved. Open to any genre, except maybe true crime since I'll be traveling on my own some of the time and maybe don't want to be too freaked out to go out at night? Can't wait to hear what you come up with, and thank you so much! --Rae   3. I'm traveling to Wales in May for a two-week study abroad program as part of my creative writing MFA. Other than Dylan Thomas, what should I read to set the mood? The only Welsh book I can remember reading is Among Others by Jo Walton, which I loved. I'd especially be interested in anything with passages about Wales' natural beauty and anything about sheep and the wool trade, as I'm also a knitter. Folk stories might be fun, and I'm open to poetry as well. Thanks so much! --Celeste   4. Hi! I’d like to get my mother-in-law a book for her birthday. She likes non-fiction british history, esp the Tudor period. She had read some historical fiction from this era, but really prefers non-fiction. She has read so much of this particular genre, so I was thinking it should be fairly new. Any suggestions? Thanks --Kristin   5. I'm hoping you can help me with a dilemma I'm having. Recent events have inspired me to read more about feminism and books with feminist themes. I'm also a stay at home mom to three kids under the age of five (including twin boys, fist bump). I guess what I'm trying to say is, I have a difficult time reconciling feminist ideology with the amount of time I spend making sandwiches. This is a choice I made and I have a supportive, equal parenting partner in my husband, but I just can't help wondering if I'm selling out somehow. I'd love book recommendations that can help me navigate this. Thank you so much! --Jessica   6. Hey Get Booked! I've been getting rly frustrated recently w/ mlm bks stories written by women. Maybe it's too much fanfiction, which is entirely possible, but either way -- I'd love some gay books by gay male-identifying authors. Specifically: romances. With sex. That, hopefully, being written by men from the community, isn't fetishized. Preferably low on angst? I rly hope y'all can find me some good bks bc I'm finding google impossible. Thanks so much for your time!!! --Adris   7. My last "re-reading" of Sherlock Holmes stories was on audio. Listening on audio made me more aware of different aspects of the stories, including Doyle's use of extended storytelling in many different voices beyond Holmes and Watson (e.g. witnesses, clients). Can you think of any more books that are just crying out to be "re-read" in audio? This can be due to the nature of the book or because of a particular audio performance. I lean towards literary fiction and crime fiction.

Lionel Shriver, Marlon James and Steve Jones join Rana Mitter for a Free Thinking discussion about inheritance recorded at this week's Hay Festival. The discussion ranges from family relationships to the planet we are leaving for future generations, from money to morality, genius to ideas about goodness and evil. Lionel Shriver's latest novel called The Mandibles depicts a family living in a near future America where the dollar has crashed and food is scarce. She is also the author of We Need To Talk About Kevin, Big Brother and A Perfectly Good Family. The biologist and geneticist Steve Jones' latest book No Need For Geniuses looks at Paris at the time of the French Revolution, when it was the world capital of science. Marlon James won the Booker Prize for his most recent novel A Brief History of Seven Killings. His other books include Crow's Devil and The Book of Night Women.

We welcome guest Asali Solomon, author of the new novel Disgruntled, to talk about Marlon James's 2009 The Book of Night Women. James's novel is about a Jamaican sugar plantation around the turn of the 18th century, and the lives of its enslaved people, particularly Lilith, a young woman who is sent to work in the slavemaster's house after fending off a would-be rapist. Solomon talks about why the novel stands out among neo-slave narratives, and why she considers it "a bad-ass book." We also talk to Solomon about growing up in, and later returning to, West Philadelphia, and how her home city changed in her absence.  For more, including links to a lot of what we discussed this week, visit us online at bookfightpod.com.  Once again this week we're sponsored by 21st Century Prose, a new press housed at the University of Michigan that's already released four books, including Matthew Derby's Full Metal Jahcket, and Lauren Foss Goodman's A Heart Beating Hard.
