In an email I received several months ago, the owners of the iconic Washington, D.C. based independent bookstore Politics & Prose wrote that Mark LaFramboise, their chief book buyer, had died. “Mark was the best book buyer any independent bookstore could hope for,” Brad Graham and Lissa Muscatine said in their note. "Not only did he know books; he knew P&P's customers, who gravitated to him because his passion for literature was infectious. Mark also was greatly appreciated by local authors, whose careers he championed and whose works he celebrated. And he was widely respected throughout the publishing industry, having built relationships over many years with booksellers and buyers at other stores, regional reps, editors, and top brass at the major publishing houses.”   Mark served as president of the New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association (NAIBA) from 2014 to 2016, and as a judge for the 2019 National Book Awards. He was 60 years old.    I wanted to learn more about him. Brad suggested I interview Anton Bogomazov. He's responsible for buying books for P&P's two branch stores and knew Mark well. He too has an interesting resume, having lived in New York, Toronto, a tiny town in rural Japan and a suburb of Moscow. Anton, predictably, is a big reader, favouring many genres, including fiction of all kinds, queer lit/nonfiction, graphic novels and comics, essays, history, science, poetry and mythology (the original fiction). He tends to read four of five books at a time, and tries to be a good bookseller by having at least one not-yet-published book on his nightstand at all times.   We talk about the role of book buyer; his experience, and how Mark approached the position.

As hundreds of reports gather for this weekend's White House Correspondents Dinner, there's one burning issue that remains a lively topic of discussion and debate. Will Donald Trump finally be indicted for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election? To address that question, we assembled an All-Star panel to dissect the complicated legal and political issues facing federal and state prosecutors and ultimately Attorney General Merrick Garland's Justice Department. Bob Woodward and Carol Leonnig of The Washington Post have both written books about Trump's efforts to cling to office, and New York litigator and longtime Republican George Conway has been one of Trump's most persistent legal critics. They spoke to us at a special taping before a live audience at Washington's Politics & Prose bookstore. It ended up being quite a lively conversion.

Another conversation with my old friend, Ralph Nader, surely a national treasure; in response to his Politics & Prose talk Too The Ramparts' . I urge him & other good people to run, run again, till many good people are running this country, unlike partisan hacks & GOP lawyers like Benny White, who THINKS he's gonna run for Puma County Recorder, & ein; but actually, he's gonna go down in flames after he's slapped with my civil & voting rights lawsuit, for his suppression of our vote (not just my vote but EVERYBODY's ‘vote' it used to be called! As you probably know, I accept no donations, only endorsements & votes! And I personally gathered myself - all my signatures; as I set about doing Everything Myself, which is Tactic 1 of running yer own maverick political campaign, which I'll do a show about shortly. All the secrets the establishment doesn't want u to know; like that it's FREE; my guess is politicians of course keep all that money we donate to their campaigns! And maybe in 2022, we'll all be TrumpSteaks. Man!!! Haha lol maybe that's not funny, though.... too much like soylent green . Here's a good campaign 2020 slogan: Vote PROGRESSIVEPARTY 2020 or we'll ALL be TrumpSteaks! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

My longtime friend Linda Hirshman, who wrote a book about how Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sandra Day O'Connor changed the world with their historic appointments to the Supreme Court (and how RBG started shaking things up decades before that), talks to us about both amazing women, with a particular focus on RBG. (Linda's book is called: "Sisters in Law: How Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg Went to the Supreme Court and Changed the World"). In the second half of our interview, to be posted tomorrow, Linda talks about her new book, coming out tomorrow, "Reckoning: The Epic Battle Against Sexual Abuse and Harassment." That book is about the MeToo movement, again from a social historian's perspective, starting with Chappaquiddick and taking us to today. This is a 10-minute clip of the 36 minute interview. To hear the entire show, and help keep us ad free, become a patron over at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/27531984 If you're in NYC or DC, Linda will speaking about her book at the Strand in NYC (Broadway and 12th) on Tuesday, June 11 at 730pm, and at Politics & Prose in DC (up Connecticut Avenue) this coming Friday, June 14, at 7pm. https://www.lindahirshman.com/

Chad and Tom are back to talk about Independent Bookstore Day (and Free Comic Book Day and Record Store Day), the Indie Playlist Initiative, fascists storming Politics & Prose, Alex Shephard's Mueller Report article, how much money Stanford (the Duke of the West?) is wasting on their crappy football program instead of supporting their University Press, and a future of publishing article that might just be an advertorial for a live-streaming conference? (Wait, WAIT: "emoji activist" is a valid inclusion in your bio?) Chad also thanks Louis Lüthi for sending along A Die with Twenty-Six Faces, and there's a tiny little bit of Avengers: Endgame talk. (Although no baseball! Possibly because Chad doesn't want to jinx the Cardinals, who have the best record AND best run differential in the National League.)  Finally: Nominate writers for the International Writers Hall of Fame! A post including the results will go up later this week, so make your recommendations now.  This week's music is "Something Soon" by perennial podcast favorite Car Seat Headrest.

In one of their more free-ranging episodes of the year, hosts Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola discuss censorship against Max Blumenthal by owners of the Politics & Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C. They talk about the latest developments involving Chelsea Manning, who has now been in jail for nearly a month as she continues her resistance against a grand jury investigation into WikiLeaks. Chelsea was in prolonged solitary confinement but released into general population this past week. Rania and Kevin also comment on Joe Biden, including commentary from an Atlantic writer who attacked one of the latest people to accuse Biden of inappropriate touching by pointing out she loves Russia. And during the middle of the show, they read a few comments and questions from patrons. Note: There will be a break next week, but the show will be back after this short break.
