Quanto valga un premio letterario, è sempre difficile dirlo. Ancora di più in questi anni Venti del ventunesimo secolo, nei quali il libro sembra aver perso inesorabilmente importanza nel discorso pubblico. Eppure gli scrittori e gli editori aspettano ancora con ansia la stagione dei premi: in Francia è l'autunno, che porta il Gouncourt e il Gran prix du roman; in Italia l'estate, prima con lo Strega, e poi con il Campiello, che proclamerà a Venezia il suo vincitore sabato 16 settembre. E anche noi, che i libri nonostante tutto continuiamo ad amarli e a leggerli, siamo qui ad aspettare il nome del vincitore. Forse anche perché ci piace essere un po' rassicurati, e pensare che, beh, in effetti quel libro che ci era tanto piaciuto era bello davvero, “perché ha vinto un premio importante”. Oggi Alice esplora i libri candidati a questo importante premio letterario italiano. Che poi l'importante sono in effetti loro, sono i libri. Racconteremo quindi La resistenza delle donne con Benedetta Tobagi, andremo "In cerca di Pan" con Filippo Tuena, esploreremo la provincia infame con Marta Cai e il suo "Centomilioni", torneremo sulle tracce della grande poetessa e attivista Joyce Lussu con Silvia Ballestra.Per la nuova rubrica di recensioni d'autrice "Mirador", ospitiamo Viola di Grado, dalla quale ci facciamo raccontare le ossessioni amorose contemporanee di Raven Leilani e Megan Nolan.

Brillo de Raven Leilani

Calling all metalheads out there in podcast land. Have I got the novel and episode for you. John Wray is here to talk about his brand-new novel, ‘Gone to the Wolves', which author Raven Leilani describes as “a love letter to metal that captures both its brutal kinetics and its nearness to the sublime.” The novel follows Kip, Kira, and Leslie Z, three teenagers living on Florida's Gulf Coast in the late 1980s. All three come from unhappy homes, of one sort or another, but forge a friendship centered around their love for metal. If you've been waiting for a novel to come along that treats metal with respect rather than parody, your wait it over. But even if you didn't grow up watching ‘Head Bangers Ball' or hoarding Metallica or Slayer records, there's something in this novel for everyone. In the last segment, Jon Verno, from the Metal Mayhem ROC podcast, and Tom Gigliotti, co-host of Shout It Out Loudcast, school me on several subgenres of metal mentioned in ‘Gone to the Wolves', including death, thrash, black, and glam metal.   MEDIA AND MUSIC IN THE EPISODE IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE: Clip from the ‘Today' show from May 26, 2023—book review by Isaac Fitzgerald of ‘Gone to the Wolves' Royalty-free Doom Metal Instrumental “The Witch” “Wunderbar” by Tenpole Tudor “Kickstart My Heart” by Motley Crue "Denial of Life” by Death “Transmission” by Joy Division “I Want You” by Hanoi Rocks “Thus Spake the Nightspirit” by Emperor “Ace of Spades”by Motorhead “Witches' Dance” by Mercyful Fate “Breaking the Law” by Judas Priest “Fade to Black” by Metallica “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath “Hammer Smashed Face” by Cannibal Corpse “Deathcrush” by Mayhem (Dead on vocals) “Seasons in the Abyss” by Slayer   LINKS: Leave a rating and comment for Rock is Lit on Goodpods: https://goodpods.com/podcasts/rock-is-lit-212451 Leave a rating and comment for Rock is Lit on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rock-is-lit/id1642987350   Video of Tenpole Tudor's song “Wunderbar”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bx7QFFlV9M   John Wray's ‘Gone to the Wolves' playlist for Largehearted Boy: https://largeheartedboy.com/2023/05/22/john-wrays-playlist-for-his-novel-gone-to-the-wolves/   John Wray's website: http://www.johnwray.net/ John Wray on Twitter: @John_Wray John Wray on Instagram: @thejohnwray John Wray on Facebook: @JohnWray   Shout It Out Loudcast website: https://www.shoutitoutloudcast.com/   Metal Mayhem ROC website: https://www.metalmayhemroc.com/   Christy Alexander Hallberg's website: https://www.christyalexanderhallberg.com/ Christy Alexander Hallberg on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube: @ChristyHallberg Learn more about your ad choices.

Autoestima é um tema muito mais profundo do que a gente pensa. Ter uma boa autoestima não significa se achar incrível o tempo todo ou se amar todos os dias. E ir contra os padrões pode desafiar esse nosso olhar sobre nós mesmas. O que o outro quer da gente? Devemos suprir essa necessidade do que a sociedade espera de nós? Mas e o que eu espero de mim mesma? Quem eu sou? O nosso lugar de fala deve ser tão batalhado e “merecido”, da forma que é? ‌ Uma mulher segura está além de todos esses questionamentos, mas nós somos feitas de fases e, claro, altos e baixos. Ser segura é estar em paz com suas escolhas e se conhecer a fundo. Se orgulhar do seu corpo e de si mesma e isso pode acontecer depois de um longo percurso, caminho de vida e aprendizagens. Isso é afetividade. ‌ Para falar sobre padrões, autoconhecimento e autocuidado chamei a comunicadora, ativista, criadora de conteúdo e escritora Luana Carvalho. Ela traz seu ponto de vista e suas experiências sobre preconceitos e julgamentos e sobre como se encontrou no meio de tudo isso. ‌ A sugestão lasciva que ela deixou nesse episódio foi o filme “Beleza” que aborda muito esse tema das diversas fases da vida de cada pessoa e sua visão sobre si mesmas. E também os livros “Luxúria”, de Raven Leilani, que fez parte do Clube do Livro Lascivo e “Com Todo o Meu Rancor”, de Bruna Maia.

Arthur Marchetto e Cecilia Garcia Marcon se reúnem para falar do livro Luxúria, romance de estreia de Raven Leilani, que foi a leitura do mês de fevereiro do Clube de Leitura 2023 do 30:MIN. A trama fala sobre questões raciais, econômicas e afetivas com uma escrita forte e bastante atual. Vem discutir com a gente!

“So you know, something that is a big part of my project…is actually this idea that we deserve pleasure. I think that pleasure and care, these are antidotes against various kinds of violence and degradation that we're all beset with. And so for me, when I wrote this novel, I did not write it for a critic at The New York Times, you know. I wrote it for the past version of me. And I wrote for someone who would need to read this, who would be reading this book after work on the subway.”  Sarah's Thankam Mathews is making a terrific debut with All This Could Be Different—longlisted for the 2022 National Book Award for Fiction and a finalist for our own Discover Prize—and she joins us on the show to talk about channeling her characters, subverting the coming-of-age novel, challenging the expectations of the immigrant experience, queerness, finding our people and much more with Poured Over's host, Miwa Messer. Featured Books (Episode):  Normal People by Sally Rooney  Lucy by Jamaica Kincaid  Luster by Raven Leilani  The New Me by Halle Butler  Poured Over is produced and hosted by Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.

Hello from a Korean sublet! This week, our friend Jennifer Wilson joins us to discuss the art of cultural criticism and test out some takes on James Harden, Gramsci, and Russia. First, we discuss Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka's suspension and the ongoing fallout. What can fans' reactions teach us about today's top sports commentators and the proliferation of meme culture? Then, we glide seamlessly into a discussion of Italian communist Antonio Gramsci. Jen talks about furthering his mission to decode capitalist values in mass culture, and argues for the return of the true pan. We also explore the restraints of representation, the joy of grappling with stuff in messy ways, and what it means when POC content is a hit with privileged white audiences (the “Get Out” effect). Jen also discusses her Indian husband's lack of interest in “Indian Matchmaking” and her interview with ​​”Luster” author Raven Leilani. Finally, Jen, a Ph.D.-holding Russianist, briefly discusses what she's hearing about this stage of the war. We have a few fun events coming up for TTSG listeners and subscribers: This Saturday, October 1st: TTSG subscriber picnic in Seoul! Subscribe via Patreon or Substack to join our Discord and get the details. Thursday, October 13 (see below): A virtual talk on the U.S. military presence in Asia with Tammy in Korea, journalist and unionist Jonathan de Santos in the Philippines, and author Akemi Johnson (on Okinawa) in California. Register here! Thursday, December 1: TTSG LIVE with Hua Hsu, in NYC!

If you love wine and you love books, this is the perfect episode for you! Joe is joined by his son Giuseppe who selects three fantastic books and then they pair those books with three great wines. Each of these wine and book choices are fun, interesting, compelling, and conversation pieces all on their own, but together they are the perfect pairing of books and wine. Afterall, if you are choosing books and wines for your book club, we think the wine should be just as interesting as the books to talk about. We recommend three fabulous books for your next book club or even just reading on your own - A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G Summers, Luster by Raven Leilani, and In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado. And we pair them with three equally excellent wines - these are book and wine pairings that are sure to please even your pickiest friends. Wines reviewed in this episode: 2018 Fattoria di Basciano Chianti Rufina, 2021 Pierre Henri Morel Laudun Côtes-du-Rhone Villages, and 2018 Michael Lavelle Iris Zinfandel.

About Lillian Fishman: Lillian Fishman was born in 1994 and lives in New York. She received her MFA from NYU, where she was a Jill Davis Fellow. Acts of Service is her first novel. About Acts of Service: A “bold and unflinchingly sexy” (Vogue) debut novel about a young woman who follows her desires into a world of pleasure, decadence, and privilege, unraveling everything she thought she knew about sex . . . and herself. “One of the most entertaining books about sex I've ever read . . . The perfect read for fans of Raven Leilani and Ottessa Moshfegh, this is a book that will have people talking.”—BuzzFeed “Anytime I want, I can forsake this dinner party and jump into real life.”—Eve Babitz Eve has an adoring girlfriend, an impulsive streak, and a secret fear that she's wasting her brief youth with just one person. So one evening she posts some nudes online. This is how Eve meets Olivia, and through Olivia the charismatic Nathan. Despite her better instincts, the three soon begin a relationship—one that disturbs Eve as much as it enthralls her. As each act of their complicated, three-way affair unfolds across a cold and glittering New York, Eve is forced to confront the questions that most consume her: What do we bring to sex? What does it reveal of ourselves, and one another? And how do we reconcile what we want with what we think we should want? In the way only great fiction can, Acts of Service takes between its teeth the contradictions written all over our ideas of sex and sexuality. At once juicy and intellectually challenging, sacred and profane, Lillian Fishman's riveting debut is bold, unabashed, and required reading of the most pleasurable sort.

We explore the connection between sex and death in literature, with a conversation with Yewande Omotoso about her book, ‘An Unusual Grief', and with recommendations from Efemia Chela. Efemia recommends ‘Blackass' by A Igoni Barrett, ‘Luster' by Raven Leilani, ‘Detransition, Baby' by Torrey Peters, and ‘In the Heart of the Country' by JM Coetzee. Hosted by Vasti Calitz. Produced by Vasti Calitz and Andri Burnett. This season is made possible by a grant by the National Arts Council.

"Hitze" heißt das Romandebüt von Raven Leilani, das angeblich zu den Lieblingsbüchern von Barak Obama zählt. Darin nimmt uns die junge, schwarze Edie mit in ihr Leben in Brooklyn - und zeigt uns, wie sie sich nach ihrem abgebrochenen Kunststudium über Wasser hält und auf immer neue Affären mit Männern einlässt. Bis sie eines Tages den wesentlich älteren Eric trifft. Eric ist verheiratet. Er hat eine schwarze Adoptivtochter: Akila. Und als Edie Akila zum ersten Mal sieht, zieht es ihr fast den Boden unter den Füßen weg.

In this week's eppy, we're talking about Raven Leiliani's millenial debut, Luster. We follow Edie (who knew?), a black woman in her early twenties who gets involved in a love triangle with a fortysomething white man in an open-ish marriage. Bizarre. We wash the story down with a Love and Lust cocktail, and Paul substitutes the watermelon for pomegranate juice in solidarity with Sarah and her attention-seeking allergies. Sarah of course deviates from the recipe as usual, leaving Paul with a hole in his pocket (to the tune of FOUR POUNDS AND TWENTY PENCE). But it's ok because the sun is shining and Michael is making Wednesday night margz. We then talk about Paul accidentally flicking a spider onto a commuting business man, the cultural validity of practical jokes, and the perplexing species of 'the heterosexual man'. We hope you very much enjoy, and that you express that joy financially. (By giving us money, if that wasn't clear.)Big French snoggies x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Eric and Kate are joined by Tochi Onyebuchi to discuss his debut adult science fiction novel Goliath. Told through a series of vignettes, Goliath meditates on a world destroyed by environmental and viral catastrophe, in which the privileged largely white population has decamped for a space colony.  The group left on earth, predominantly people of color, try to eke out an existence amid the ruins.  Delving into such topics as colonization, gentrification, and the racial conflict that courses through American history and which, in the novel, firmly shapes its future and the future of the world in the 2050s, Goliath is a haunting and incisive look at a world that could very much be our own. Also, Gary Shteyngart, author of Our Country Friends, returns to recommend his favorite book of 2021, Luster by Raven Leilani.

In den USA wurde es gelobt als DAS Debüt der letzten Zeit: "Hitze" von Raven Leilani. In der Schwäbischen Provinz ist die berührende Vater-Tochter-Annäherung "Vater und ich" angesiedelt. Dilek Güngörs Buch ist eine Liebeserklärung an die Toleranz als Lebenskonzept. Dazu ist sie bei Nadine Kreuzahler im Gespräch.

Katie Kitamura, acclaimed author of A Separation and Greenlight neighbor, joined us virtually to launch her electrifying new novel. In Intimacies, an interpreter and woman of many languages and identities relocates to The Hague in search of a sense of home and finds herself drawn into simmering dramas of violence, political controversy, betrayal, and heartbreak. Raven Leilani (Luster)--Kitamura's former student!--joined for a brilliant conversation about uncertainty, the residues of translation, and the mystical experience of writing as something “received”.  (Recorded July 20, 2021)  

In dieser Folge mit Anika, Robin und Meike: „Hitze“ von Raven Leilani, „Herrscht 07769“ von László Krasznahorkai und „Dinge, an die wir nicht glauben“ von Bryan Washington.

"Und was machst du am Wochenende?" ist unser Podcast mit Tipps, Ideen und Gedanken für die kürzesten zwei Tage der Woche – moderiert von Christoph Amend, Editorial Director des ZEITmagazins, und der Schriftstellerin Ilona Hartmann. In Folge 14 ist Anke Engelke zu Gast. Sie ist Schauspielerin, Moderatorin und Entertainerin, wurde 1965 in Montreal geboren und hat die meiste Zeit ihrer Kindheit in der kleinen Stadt Rösrath im Bergischen verbracht. Heute lebt sie in Köln. Im Podcast erinnert sie sich an die Rasselbanden-Wochenenden in Rösrath, an ihr Lehramtstudium und an die Zeit, in der, wie sie sagt, "mein Gehirn abgeschaltet" war. Dafür hat sie mittlerweile die "Engelke-Methode" entwickelt, die dafür sorgt, dass man Zugang zum Theater findet. Sie hat noch nie ein Smartphone besessen und fliegt nicht mehr innerhalb von Europa. Zurzeit entdeckt sie Lyrik neu, schwärmt von ihrer älteren Schwester, die sie für viel lustiger hält als sich selbst, und führt weiterhin Tagebuch wie seit Kindheitstagen. Den Gastgebern sagt Anke Engelke: "Ich tue so, als hätte ich mein Leben im Griff." In dieser Folge empfehlen Anke, Ilona und Christoph unter anderem: - den Schauspieler Niels Bormann im Maxim-Gorki-Theater - Lars Eidinger in der Berliner Schaubühne - alle Stücke von Sybille Berg - das "dreizehn +13 Gedichte"-Magazin - den Roman "Hitze" von Raven Leilani - den Stand-up-Comedian Till Reiners - den Podcast "Wie war der Tag, Liebling?" - die Kunsthalle Baden-Baden - "Die Männer meines Lebens"-Interviewreihe im "ZEITmagazin MANN" - die Punkband Erregung Öffentlicher Erregung - 2G-Dengeln - "Moonrise Kingdom" von Wes Anderson - Georgische Badridschani - die Albertina in Wien - die Künstlerin Ingeborg Strobel - die vegane Burgerkette Swing Kitchen - den Roman "Oreo" von Fran Ross - den Roman "Wild Palms" von William Faulkner - das Buch "Verzeichnis einiger Verluste" von Judith Schalansky Fragen, Kritik, Anregungen? Per E-Mail ist das Team zu erreichen unter wochenende@zeit.de.

Diesmal geht es um das literarische Debüt der Amerikanerin Raven Leilani. Im englischen heißt es „Luster“, in der Übersetzung von Sophie Zeitz sehr treffend „Hitze“. Und soviel sei schon mal verraten: Wenn ihr Serien wie „Girls“ oder „Fleabag“ geliebt habt, dann solltet ihr euch dieses Buch zulegen. Leilanis Debüt war in ihrer Heimat eine kleine literarische Sensation. Gefeiert und gelobt von der Kritik und von Förderinnen wie Zadie Smith, landete ihr Roman sogar in der Jahresbestenliste von Barak Obama. „Hitze“ wird von einer jungen schwarzen Frau namens Edie erzählt. Sie ist 23 Jahre alt und arbeitet schlecht bezahlt in der Verlagswelt von New York. Edie beginnt eine Affäre mit Eric. Ein charmanter, weißer Spießer, der mit seiner Frau Rebecca in einem Vorort von New York wohnt. Raven Leilani erzählt in „Hitze“ aber nicht bloß von einer Mé·nage-à-trois. Ihre Erzählerin Edie ist eine faszinierende, mal abgründige, mal witzige Person. Ihr Blick auf RAssimus, Klassenunterschiede, Sex, Gesellschaft und die Geißel des Kapitalismus ist immer wieder überraschend und furios geschrieben. Wenn euch „Hitze“ von Raven Leilani gefällt, das im Atlanik Verlag erschienen ist, dann könnt ihr bei uns wieder ein Exemplar gewinnen. Schickt uns einfach eine Mail mit dem Stichwort „Hitze“ an verlosung@diffusmag.de und gebt bitte eure Postadresse an.

Raven Leilanis Roman "Hitze" war letztes Jahr das meistbesprochene Debüt in den USA. Kein Wunder bei der Geschichte: Die 23-jährige Edie zieht bei dem Mann ein, mit dem sie eine Affäre hat - und bei seiner Familie. Edie durchbricht die Grenzen von Klasse, Geschlecht und Hautfarbe.

Reckless, published by Welbeck Publishing, is this author's first novel. It gets into the mind of an apparently happily married woman who is missing just one thing - good sex. In order to "scratch that itch" (RJ's words, not ours), she gets into some dark, dangerous, poignant and very funny scrapes. RJ is Richard. So - not just a man writing a woman, but writing about the most intimate aspects of her life. Does he pull it off? Is it appropriation? Who helped? Shelley Weiner is a major reason Reckless was published. She was the tutor of RJ's Faber Writing Academy course - and guided him to the feminine side. She's also an author. Her titles include: Writing Short Stories, Writing Your First Novel, The Audacious Mendacity of Lily Green, Arnost, The Joker, The Last Honeymoon & A Sister's Tale. She's currently writing Summer Strand, a novel inspired by her Lithuanian parents who met and married in the Kaunas ghetto, were sent to separate Nazi concentration camps, survived the Holocaust, found each other again in a post-war camp for displaced people in Italy, & managed to reach South Africa - just as apartheid was imposed. We also hear personal stories of encounters with Jodie Foster, Arthur Miller, Ewan McGregor, Heath Ledger & Ted Demme. We discuss "nerks" (is that how you spell nerk?) - non-swearing swear words - like the frequency of toerags in The Bill. We discover the importance of the type of "and" or "&" and where it's placed in movie credits. We hear what happens when a film studio asks you rewrite a film script, not relaising you were the original author in the first place. We hear which are easier to write - books or screenplays? And about the importance of authors' support groups, beat readers, bad and good sex writing, Adrian McKinty, Brian McGilloway, body dismorphia amongst middle-aged women, Raven Leilani, Jilly Cooper, Jackie Collins, top writing tips from Shelley, the contract with the reader, staying inside your story, editor Niamh Mulvey, integrity v cynicism, and lots of useful insight. There's a bit of cursing too - even worse words than toerag. Sorry. We'd Like A Word is a podcast & radio show from authors Paul Waters & Stevyn Colgan. We talk with writers, readers, editors, agents, celebrities, talkers, poets, publishers, booksellers, audiobook creators about books - fiction & non-fiction. We go out on various radio & podcast platforms. Our website is http://www.wedlikeaword.com for information on Paul & Steve & our guests. We're also on Twitter @wedlikeaword & Facebook @wedlikeaword & our email is wedlikeaword@gmail.com Yes, we are embarrassed by the missing apostrophes. We like to hear from you - questions, thoughts, ideas, guest or book suggestions. Perhaps you'd like to come on We'd Like A Word to chat, review or read out passages from books. And if you're still stuck for something to read, may we recommend Blackwatertown by Paul Waters or The Diabolical Club by Stevyn Colgan.

Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher are joined by Rivka Galchen, whose new novel, Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch, is set in the Holy Roman Empire in 17th-century Germany, amid the plague and the Thirty Years' War. It fictionalizes the real-life story of Katharina Kepler, the mother of astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler. Katharina, an elderly widow who seems to care most for her cow Chamomile, is accused of being a witch by another woman in the small town of Leonberg. Soon everyone in town is testifying to Katharina's wickedness. Her own side of the story is told by her neighbor, Simon, who acts as her guardian — but as a bookseller later tells him, “People don't like an old lady's story.” The novel is told through both fictional testimonials as well as actual translated historical documents. Also, Zakiya Dalila Harris, author of The Other Black Girl, returns to recommend Raven Leilani's acclaimed first novel, Luster.

First things first: we're updating our episode structure! We'll now publish two writing-specific episodes each month and two book club episodes each month. In this episode, we talk about abandoning projects and characters. Megan has decided to *gasp* abandon her current project. Which really means she's putting it on her hard drive where it will torment her endlessly until she eventually returns to it. Grace talks about cutting characters out of her book and the ever-popular term, "Murdering your darlings." We both advocate for having too much information, description, characters, and plot holes to deal with and excavate during the editing phase. Here's a link to Megan's favorite Magic Eight Ball: https://eightball.tridelphia.net/ This week's writing prompt: Young adult - listening to music - digital Read Grace's short story here: https://thewritersclimax.com/2021/03/16/fantasy-double-hitter-by-grace-olscamp/ Read Megan's short story here: https://thewritersclimax.com/2021/03/16/the-land-of-skiddlysit-by-megan-walsh/ Purchase your copy of Yolk: https://amzn.to/2MWUFMy (https://amzn.to/2MWUFMy) Purchase Luster by Raven Leilani: https://amzn.to/3rpSIqK **We are part of the Amazon Affiliates program, so every time you make a purchase through our links you help support this podcast!

Name: Sinae Reading: Luster, Raven Leilani Why did you want to read this? Luster is a book that makes you laugh. You might hear me giggling under my breath while reading it. Of course I have read this chapter before and many in fact since I stuttered too many times. Yet, it still make me laugh. It is about being poor, insecure also wanting more for life and demanding for that in an unapologetic way which I loved. I wish you enjoy it! How did you record yourself? At my quiet studio on the weekend. I used my phone and read from the kindle app on my phone at the same time so you might hear an awkward pause in between at times my finger slipped somehow!

In this electrifying pre-publication event, Raven Leilani launches her highly anticipated novel Luster in conversation with fiercely brilliant comedian Samantha Irby.  Leilani's novel of a young Black woman's artistic and sexual trajectory is the starting point for a passionate and hilarious conversation about (among other things) the intersection of writerly craft and honesty about the personal, the gross, and the awkward – and how a novel can make way for Black people to take up space in the world. (Recorded August 3, 2020)

Debut novelist Raven Leilani shares from Luster and discusses race, sex, art, and the importance of making room for joy.

Writer, editor, and poet Cathy Park Hong joins Medaya Ocher for a dialogue about her new book Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning, which is a blend of memoir, history, and cultural criticism that investigates what it means to live as an Asian American women and artist in America. Cathy and Daya learn that they shared some quirky experiences in their youth: wearing inappropriate t-shirts and how they struggled to conquer the english language. Cathy also explains her resonant eponymous concept, "Minor Feelings," which is introduced in an essay on Richard Pryor's hilarious/tortured/sublime "Live in Concert." Also, Samantha Irby returns to give an advance recommendation for Raven Leilani's novel Luster, which is scheduled for release this summer.
