What is the difference between “Shabbos for children” and “Shabbos for grown-ups”?What unexpected topic does Yisroel wish he could write about?

She is also a formidable autofictress in her own right, with knockout pieces available here and here, and a novel in the works. And then, an investigation of form: A perennial bête noire among a vocal group of established authors, autofiction's rise to primacy among today's emerging talent continues unabated, circulating almost as vigorously in brick-and-mortar circles as in its native cyberspace, in spite of its alleged obtuseness and inaccessibility. In this episode, we pound a defiant nail into the the warped and splintered coffin of elitist critique by delivering, in cattus linguarum, a selection of short works by three of the genre's biggest names -- works that cannot be denied, whose power transcends the tired strictures of literature and language-as-such, and which can be understood and enjoyed by the common housecat: in short, bulwarks of a profound, multifarious, and radically democratic literature.

In today's episode, I will review the book “Miss Dior: A story of Courage and Couture” by Justine Picardie, which was published end of 2021 and is available in French and English. Through the story of Catherine Dior, the sister of the famous designer Christian Dior, the author paints the picture of the French society just before the Second World War started, the dark period of the collaboration and the partition of the French territory into the free zone and the occupied zone and the relations and roles the fashion industry played during the war and after, during the reconstruction years.

The Silk Roads aren't stuck in time. They're so often depicted as just a certain period of time and a certain geographic range, and I think we're kinda blowing that apart! [These objects span] a thousand-year history, but also [range] from Japan all the way to Mexico. We're breaking outside the box and really thinking about: Wait a second. What do we all have around us today that was influenced by this intercultural trade and exchange of ideas? And it's everywhere.Melissa Moreton is a codicologist and cultural historian who studies the material aspects of old books and manuscripts and the people who made and used them. Her research started in Italy, but has broadened to include the study of global manuscript culture, the spread of book technologies, and book use across Africa, South Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. She combines interdisciplinary methodologies drawn from material book studies, history, art history, and the quantitative sciences, and has been known to make parchment, paper, and to bind books. She is currently a Research Associate at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and helped organize the current exhibition at the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, entitled “Hidden Stories: Books Along the Silk Roads.”Melissa joins us to talk about that “Hidden Stories”, which our own Suzanne was one of the curators of!

Stephen King is quite prolific, having penned over 40 novels and 166 works of short fiction. Therefore, for this Top Tenz list, we couldn’t narrow it down to just novels or short stories. Any reader of King’s knows that he threads many of his works together, but the purpose of this list is to praise and examine 10 of King’s best stand-alone works – even if that work is part of a bigger story. And let’s face it, in the world of Stephen King there is always a bigger story.

TVC 466.3: Jeff Abraham, comedy historian and co-author, along with Burt Kearns, of The Show Won’t Go On: The Most Shocking, Bizarre, and Historic Deaths of Performers Onstage, discusses what appears to be the most dangerous profession in show business (and no, it’s not what you’d think). Listeners in Southern California can meet Jeff and Burt at the Dearly Departed Artifact Museum in Hollywood on Saturday, Oct. 19 and at Stories Books & Café in Echo Park, CA on Tuesday, Oct. 22.
