If you have never heard of Stéphane Breitwieser don't feel bad, we hadn't either. Turns out he is one of the most successful art thieves of all time. In his hey day, he could steal more than once a day (museums, cathedrals, chateaus…you name it); billions of dollars worth of art. That's right, billions. Thank goodness for the writer Michael Finkel who brings us a page turning book that tells the story of the most incredible art thief you've never heard of. The book is called, appropriately, The Art Thief. And this book certainly proves that sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. We are back with a book store this week, Head House Books. Books mentioned in this podcast: The Art Thief by Michael Finkel True Story: Murder, Memoir, Mea Culpa by Michael Finkel The Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel The Journalist and Murderer by Janet Malcolm Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann The 12 Live of Samuel Hawley by Hannah Tinti Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin Outline by Rachel Cusk Learn more about your ad choices.

Art Arfons was the world's land speed record holder three times in the 1960s. He was the first man over 150mph on a drag strip, he was a world's champion tractor puller, and he did it all by himself, using his brain, his hands and very few dollars. This episode of the Dork-O-Motive podcast celebrates the life and times of this amazing America, a man some argue is the greatest hot rodder of all time. The story is told through period stories, period audio, and interviews with guys like Humpy Wheeler, author Samuel Hawley, historian Bret Kepner, and Art's son Tim Arfons. This is one of the most in-depth studies on the life of a man who was so brave and brilliant, you'll be blown away by the end of the show. Arfons is a personal hero to anyone who has ever taken on bucks with their brain and won. From his drag strip exploits to his triumphs and failures on the Bonneville Salt Flats, we hope you enjoy the story of this legendary man and the legendary machines that he created.   This is his story. 

The fascinating thrill of dominating the world's land speed record in the 60's. Craig Breedlove & the Spirit of America - Sonic Arrow, challenged many who were chasing the coveted speed record. We are honored to have Samuel Hawley - Author of Ultimate Speed: The Fast Life and Extreme Cars of Racing Legend Craig Breedlove. He will share the next move for Craig Breedlove!

This week on 'State of Wonder,' we bring you the second show we recorded live at Wordstock, this time with the culture writer Chuck Klosterman, who pulls back the curtain on his celebrity profiles, and two ace authors, who discuss their thrilling new novels.Want more books? Check out the first show we recorded at Wordstock this year, with the creators of the hit podcast and novels "Welcome to Night Vale" and the seriously hilarious poets Morgan Parker and Tommy Pico.Chuck Klosterman Explains the 21st Century of Pop Culture - 1:26What do Taylor Swift, Tim Tebow, and the search for free will in “Breaking Bad” have in common? They are all pop culture casualties of Chuck Closterman, one the keenest critical minds writing today. Growing up in North Dakota, Klosterman cut his teeth in the Midwest before heading to New York to write for the “New York Times,” “GQ,” “Grantland,” and practically everyone else. His 2003 essay collection “Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low-Culture Manifesto” launched him into the culture writing stratosphere, and he’s published several collections and two novels since. Now he’s out with his tenth book: “Chuck Closterman Ten: A Highly Specific, Defiantly Incomplete History of the Early 21st Century.” He takes us behind the scenes on his essays, plus talks about his recent move to Portland.Katie Kitamura's Psychodrama About a Wife's Search for Her Husband - 19:27In a landscape scorched by wildfire and summer sun, a woman, frozen with grief, comes searching for her estranged husband. Death of their marriage muffles her like a thick veil; she can barely see what’s going on around her. So begins Katie Kitamura’s elegant, suspenseful novel, “A Separation.” It’s a great read for the dank winter days, full with burned landscapes and arid Mediterranean atmosphere.Hannah Tinti's Coming of Age Mystery - 33:52Every parent is a mystery to their child. But few bear the secrets of Samuel Hawley. His scarred body maps out a life of theft, guns and murder, but for his daughter Loo, they’re just scars. That is, until they settle into the New England hometown of her deceased mother and she begins to question her father’s past and what truly happened to her mom. Such is the central mystery for Hannah Tinti’s second novel, “The Twelve Lives of Samuel Holly.” Ann Patchett called it “one part Quentin Tarantino, one part Scheherazade, and twelve parts wild innovation.”Tinti is one of those gloriously creative writers, whose plots sparkle with suspense and emotion. Her best-selling debut novel, “The Good Thief,” was an American Tall Tale of sorts, starring an orphan and a con man at odds with a mouse trap magnate. Tinti also co-founded and edits the the award-winning magazine “One Story.”

Sometimes inspiration arrives by accident.  As the novelist Hannah Tinti explains to Miwa Messer in this episode, that was particularly true in the case of the author’s second novel, The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley, a literary page-turner that follows her prize-winning 2008 bestseller The Good Thief.  Tinti joins us to talk about the unlikely circumstances that propelled her into the story of a parent whose good intentions clash with his life story  — and the strange New England ritual that introduced her to the book’s title character. 

Twenty Summers was proud to bring together the accomplished and widely admired Richard Russo and Hannah Tinti, each on tour for a new book: Russo for Trajectory, a quartet of novellas; Tinti for her second novel, The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley, praised in the Washington Post as 'master class in literary suspense.' In addition to writing ten other books, including the Pulitzer prize-winning novel Empire Falls and the best-selling memoir Elsewhere, Russo is a veteran screenwriter. His novel Nobody's Fool was made into a movie starring Paul Newman and Jessica Tandy. Tinti is also the author of an internationally acclaimed story collection, Animal Crackers, and The Good Thief, winner of the Center for Fiction's First Novel Prize. She is a cofounder and executive editor of the journal One Story and of the Sirenland Writers Conference in Italy. She was recently named one of the 100 Most Influential People in Brooklyn Culture. Russo and Tinti, friends as well as kindred authors, discuss life, literature, and anything else they please. Twenty Summers cofounder Julia Glass moderated. Media sponsorship by WCAI.

This week on the MashReads Podcast, we read and discuss Hannah Tinti's novel The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley with author Hannah Tinti herself!  The novel is a father/ daughter story about what it means to be a hero, and the price we pay to protect the people we love the most. The book follows two stories, told in parallel: The history of Samuel Hawley and his "twelve lives" (which are the twelve bullet wounds he's received while working as a criminal smuggler), told side-by-side with the coming of age story of Loo, Samuel's daughter. When Samuel and Loo settle into a small New England seaside town, they quickly learn that the past Hawley's desperately tried to escape is still defining their present. Join us as we talk about father/ daughter stories, the significance of whales in literature, and being an outsider. And if you want to see footage of the greasy pole, a real life tradition that Hannah writes about in The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley, you can check out her tweets from the event here and here and here. And as always, we close the show with recommendations: Hannah has been reading a lot of comics and recommends: Saga by Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples, East of West by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta, Sweet Tooth by Jeff Lemire, and Mind Mgmt by Matt Kindt. Aliza recommends Glow, Netflix's new series about the world of women wrestlers in the '80s. "Speaking of complex femininity, y'all need to watch the new Netflix series Glow. It is amazing!" MJ recommends Grief Is The Thing With Feathers, a postmodern novel about grief by Max Porter. "It's really beautiful and what I love about this book is that it captures how mundane grief can be ... it's a moving, really weird, and really beautiful novel." MJ also recommends "Laverne Cox boldly addresses the one issue the LGBTQ community doesn't want to talk about," an interview with Laverne Cox by Mashable's social good writer Katie Dupere about inclusion in Pride and the LGBTQ+ community. Peter recommends McSweeny's article "11 Ways That I, a White Man, Am Not Priviledged" and "It's just a quick read, and it takes a turn, as it does, and it's pretty funny. I don't want to say more."

He also recently discovered how great Stephen King is and treated himself to Salem’s Lot for Halloween. Ann recently reread The Secret History by Donna Tartt. She also loved The Nix by Nathan Hill and Hero of the Empire: The Boer War, a Daring Escape, and the Making of Winston Churchill by Candice Millard Check out the last eight years of Books on the Nightstand episodes at their website: http://booksonthenightstand.com/podcasts.

So then he thought he’d pick 100 Skills You'll Need for the End of the World (as We Know It) by Ana Maria Spagna, illustrated by Brian Cronin. But, naw, nevermind. He’d bring DC: The New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke. Ann would take The Complete Essays by Michel De Montaigne, because she got a crush on him due to How to Live: Or a Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer by Sarah Bakewell. Go-To Handsell Michael: Any Human Heart by William Boyd and Stoner by John Williams Ann - The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell (IT’S ABOUT JESUITS IN SPACE, GUYS) Bookseller Confessions Michael still hasn’t read Great Expectations. But, I mean, he read A Christmas Carol, so he’s read Dicken’s okay? Also, he hasn’t read Sandman by Neil Gaiman. Neither has Emma. Or Kim. But we’ve read Alan Moore’s Watchmen, so that balances out, right? Right?? Ann convinced hundreds of people to read War and Peace with her, but only got to page 75. At least she’s inspiring.
