Set in New York in the 1980s, Adam Ross's new novel, “Playworld,” tells the story of a young actor named Griffin as he navigates the chaos of the city, of his family and of being a teenager, and the dangers that swirl around each. Although “Playworld” grapples with bleak material, it sparkles with Ross's vivid eye and sardonic sense of humor. The result is a dark, off-kilter bildungsroman about one overextended teenager trying to figure himself out while being failed, continually, by every adult around him.On this week's episode, the Book Club host MJ Franklin discusses “Playworld” with his colleagues Dave Kim and Sadie Stein. Here are the books discussed in this week's episode:“Playworld,” by Adam Ross“Mr. Peanut,” by Adam Ross“The Catcher in the Rye,” “Nine Stories,” “Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction,” and “Franny and Zooey,” by J.D.

And there's video. The dogs have been arrested and are being detained at an animal shelter. They scratched the paint and tore bumpers off cars. They went HAM on these automobiles. But why? They think cats were hiding under the cars and the dogs got all fired up and took it out on the poor vehicles. https://abc13.com/dogs-tear-apart-cars-g-motors-cypress-tx-barc-houston-stray-canines/14262071/ *UPDATE: Those dogs have yet to sign any deals for Influencer Boxing or as Junkyard Spokescanines, or any number of possibilities...

(From Jan 19th) This is an article out of the UK from Sky News about how some rivers have gotten "canalised" over the years ("canalised" = "straightened out like a canal"). Now they're gonna try to bend those rivers again and if the researchers are right, when we bend it like Beckham our rivers might be less likely to flood. Or... you're able to control where it happens, maybe is more accurate... It's about slowing the water flow just like a bendy road slows down traffic. (Looking at you, Lombard St. San Francisco.) https://news.sky.com/story/could-making-rivers-bendy-again-help-prevent-flooding-13047000 *UPDATE: Other than a report on how costly flood prep is, there has been little followup on this. *Does it hold up?

In a world where people run marathons dressed like bananas, etc., Uncle Chen continues to get be talked about in running circles. This article from Run Society goes deep into the sport psychology of Uncle Chen... https://www.runsociety.com/races/chain-smoking-marathoner/ ❼ Super Swiftie breaks world record...

The dramatic and mysterious events of Holy Week and Easter are at the heart of Christian faith. Andrew Nunn says that Holy Week is like a pebble thrown into a pond and its effects are felt in Jesus' resurrection, the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost, and all the way into the present day and our own lives. Andrew Nunn and Paula Gooder explore what happens at the Last Supper, on the Cross, and at Easter and Pentecost, including some of what it means to them personally, and how we can keep the season in a way that means we come to know Jesus better. The Very Revd Andrew Nunn is Dean of Southwark Cathedral. His new book is 'The Hour is Come: The Passion in real time' (2021). Dr Paula Gooder is Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral. Her latest books are 'Women of Holy Week: An Easter Journey in Nine Stories' and 'Journalling the Psalms: A Guide for Reflection and Prayer' (both 2022).

Dr Anna Rowlands is the St Hilda Professor of Catholic Social Thought & Practice at Durham University, and the author of 'Towards a Politics of Communion: Catholic Social Teaching for Dark Times'. She has interests in everyday ethics and the way that academic research and teaching can engage in wider forms of public benefit and the common good. Dr Paula Gooder is Canon Chancellor at St Paul's Cathedral and a leading Biblical scholar. Her recent books include 'The Parables' and 'Women of Holy Week: An Easter Journey in Nine Stories'.

With his amazing new novel, Sergeant Salinger (Bellevue Literary Press), Jerome Charyn evokes and explores J.D. Salinger's WWII experience in the Counter Intelligence Corps. We talk about Jerome's history with Salinger's work, his disdain for The Catcher in the Rye and his love of Nine Stories and their depiction of NYC of the 1940s and early '50s, the range of meanings and misunderstandings of Salinger's later silence, and Jerome's own terror of writing. Along the way, we get into Jerome's ventriloquism in his historical fiction, the limits of his artistic audacity, and whether he'd write a pastiche of Hemingway now that Hem's in public domain. Jerome being Jerome, we also discuss ping-pong, professional basketball, the older Michael Jordan as a Shakespearean character, and why he's writing a big essay about Mank.

A career retrospective with Jake Gyllenhaal on December 1, 2016. Moderated by Jenelle Riley, Variety. Jake Gyllenhaal, an Academy Award nominee, has established himself as one of the finest actors of his generation. With his new production company Nine Stories, he is also on his way to becoming a filmmaker of note – sourcing material, developing it from the ground up, collaborating with bold storytellers, and shepherding the projects through release. In 2014, he starred in Dan Gilroy’s Nightcrawler, which he also produced. For his performance as Louis Bloom, Mr. Gyllenhaal received BAFTA, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, Critics’ Choice, and Spirit Award nominations, as well as Best Actor citations from numerous critics’ groups. He received an Academy Award nomination, and won a BAFTA Award, for his performance as Jack Twist in Ang Lee’s classic Brokeback Mountain, also for Focus Features. Working with some of the world’s finest filmmakers on both independent and studio features, Mr. Gyllenhaal has also starred in David Ayer’s End of Watch, which he executive-produced; Dennis Villeneuve’s highly acclaimed Prisoners and Enemy, playing a dual role in the latter; Richard Kelly’s cult hit Donnie Darko; Antoine Fuqua’s Southpaw; Jean-Marc Vallee’s Demolition; Baltasar Kormákur’s Everest; Jim Sheridan’s Brothers; Duncan Jones’ Source Code; David Fincher’s Zodiac; Sam Mendes’ Jarhead; John Madden’s Proof; Miguel Arteta’s The Good Girl; Brad Silberling’s Moonlight Mile; Nicole Holofcener’s Lovely & Amazing; Joe Johnston’s October Sky; and Ed Zwick’s Love & Other Drugs, for which he received a Golden Globe Award nomination. In 2014, Mr. Gyllenhaal made his Broadway debut in Nick Payne’s Constellations and his musical theatre debut in the Encores! production of Little Shop of Horrors. The actor made his New York stage debut in 2012 starring in If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet, for the Roundabout Theatre Company, which earned him nominations from the Drama League and the Lucille Lortel Awards. The latter marked his first stage work since 2002, when he starred on London’s West End in Kenneth Lonergan’s revival ofThis is Our Youth, for which he won an Evening Standard Theater Award for Outstanding Newcomer. He recently formed Nine Stories, a production company acquiring and developing new material. The company is in development on a number of titles, including Denis Villeneuve’s The Son, which is based on Jo Nesbo’s critically acclaimed novel of the same name; a scripted limited series for A&E centered on cults throughout history; and the cartel drama The Man Who Made It Snow, to be directed by Antoine Fuqua. Additional projects in development include Theater of War, based on an episode of “This American Life,” which will be directed by Alex Timbers; and Ubisoft’s film adaptation of the Tom Clancy video game “The Division,” in which Mr. Gyllenhaal will also star. Through Nine Stories, he has produced Stronger, inspired by a true story and based on The New York Times bestseller of the same name. The movie, directed by David Gordon Green and to be released in 2017, is the deeply personal account of the heroic journey of Boston Marathon survivor Jeff Bauman (whom Mr. Gyllenhaal portrays). He currently stars in Focus Feature’s Nocturnal Animals.

Most people have a minimum of 9 pints of blood in their bodies. In her book Nine Pints, Rose George takes us on a journey with nine stories exploring the science of blood and our changing attitudes to blood in different cultures. We produce 2,000,000 new red blood cells each second. The cells have a lot of work to do. They carry oxygen to organs and tissues. They carry nutrients, heat and hormones. Blood transports waste products and where necessary, clots to stop the flow. It fights infections and foreign invaders. In Nepal Rose meets girls challenging taboos around menstruation. In the Canadian prairies, she visits a controversial plasma clinic. She tours a leech farm in Wales and learns about the role leeches play in modern surgery. Rose George is heard in her appearance at Adelaide Writers Week.

Bienvenidos a ERA Magazine, el podcast de la música independiente española. En el capítulo de hoy, la discográfica madrileña Mont Ventoux, creada a principios de 2017. Buenos días a todos los amantes de la música indie. Antes de comenzar comentar a los grupos que nos estéis escuchando, que si queréis presentar vuestras canciones en el podcast de ERA Magazine, solo tenéis que mandarnos un email a través de eramagazine.fm/contacto. ¿Quieres tener una página web de tu grupo o discográfica y no sabes cómo? Escríbenos un email, hablamos tu mismo idioma y, además, conocemos perfectamente el mundo de la música independiente. Aprenderás a gestionar tu propio sitio en internet. “Mont Ventoux es un sello discográfico, agencia de contratación, asesoría, editorial musical y de libros, así como gestión de proyectos culturales en general”. Así lo definen sus dos fundadores Nacho Ruiz, al que ya tuvimos en este podcast por su grupo Nine Stories, y Javier Peña, que a principios de 2017 decidieron dar voz a todo aquel que se quiera expresar de manera sincera y honesta. Entre sus filas, Alondra Bentley, AMA, Elle Belga o Calavera, entre otros. Vamos a descubrir esta interesante propuesta. # Nacho, bienvenido de nuevo al podcast de ERA Magazine. En primer lugar, cuéntame cómo surgió la idea de crear Mont Ventoux y por qué. # Y en poco tiempo has conseguido tener unos cuantos artistas muy interesantes, como AMA, Alondra Bentley, Elle Belga o Calavera. ¿Cómo lo habéis conseguido? # Vamos a escuchar la primera canción que has elegido de uno de tus grupos, concretamente a Marem Ladson con su canción “All My Storms”. ¿Qué nos dices de este artista? # ¿Y cómo está el negocio discográfico ahora mismo? Lo que está claro es que la venta de discos no es la principal fuente de ingresos de los sellos, ¿te apoyas más en el management?. # Pasamos a la segunda canción, “Desfiladeros” del grupo Calavera. Explícame algo de esta banda. # ¿A qué grupo o artista estás más satisfecho en editar por la dificultad en conseguirlo y porque te haya costado mucho convencerle? # La tercera canción que escucharemos es “Nadie más” del grupo AMA. # Ya la última pregunta, háblanos de algún lanzamiento importante que tengas para 2018. # Nos despedimos ya con la última canción “Gran Tour” de tu propio grupo, Nine Stories. Cuéntame por qué la has escogido. # Gracias, Nacho, por haber estado en el podcast de ERA Magazine. En las notas del programa dejaremos los enlaces pertinentes para que puedan seguir vuestra música. Mucha suerte. Con esta canción nos despedimos por hoy. También recordad, que si quieres ayudar a este podcast, y seguir disfrutando de la música de muchos más grupos, haz tus compras de Amazon a través del enlace eramagazine.fm/amazon.

Bienvenidos a ERA Magazine, el podcast diario de la música independiente española. En el capítulo de hoy, Nine Stories el proyecto pop del músico Nacho Ruiz. Buenos días a todos los amantes de la música indie. Antes de comenzar comentar a los grupos que nos estéis escuchando, que si queréis presentar vuestras canciones en el podcast de ERA Magazine, solo tenéis que mandarnos un email a través de eramagazine.fm/contacto. El tercer disco de Nine Stories, llamado Cinéma Vérité (compra el disco aquí) y editado por su propio sello Mont Ventoux, es una continuación de sus dos anteriores trabajos, pero añadiendo una perspectiva más contemporánea a partir de sintetizadores, cajas de ritmos, samples, así como arreglos de cuerda y viento. Un disco pop, en definitiva, pero plagado de múltiples detalles. # Nacho, bienvenido al podcast de ERA Magazine. En primer lugar, tercer disco como Nine Stories, ¿cómo lo definirías y a quién le puede gustar tú música? # Vamos a comprobar tu propuesta musical con el primer tema, “Love Sun”, háblanos de él. # El disco ha sido producido por el músico Javier Vicente, conocido también como Carasueño, y tú mismo, tocando ambos todos los instrumentos. ¿Cómo ha sido todo el proceso, muy autoexigente por tu parte? # Y en el disco has añadido más cuerda, vientos… que anteriores trabajos. ¿Te lo pedían las canciones? # La segunda canción que escucharemos es “A Simpler Life”, preséntanosla. # También han colaborado Alondra Bentley, Ramiro Nieto, Pepe Andreu, Manuel Moreno, Vi?ctor Esteban y Ana Mun?oz. Háblame de ellos. # ¿Y en directo con cuántos músicos estás en el escenario? # Escuchamos ahora la tercera canción, “Blue Glaciers”, cuéntanos algo de ella. # En julio estuviste en China tocando. ¿Cómo te surgió y qué tal la experiencia? # Tus letras son en inglés, ¿que me cuentas de su temática para los que somos menos avanzados en ese idioma? # Y terminamos ya con la última canción, “Everything Is Politics”, pero antes dinos algo sobre ella. # Muchas gracias, Nacho, por haber estado en el podcast de ERA Magazine. En las notas del programa dejaremos los enlaces pertinentes para que puedan seguir tu música. Mucha suerte. Con esta canción nos despedimos por hoy.
