Michael Shermer sits down with novelist and essayist Lionel Shriver for a wide-ranging conversation about what happens when old political labels stop making sense. Shriver reflects on the strange moral and political confusions that now shape debates over immigration, identity, religion, and the meaning of tolerance.  They discuss why immigration has become, in Shriver's view, the central political issue of this century; why support for illiberal ideas is often framed as compassion; why the culture of fiction and publishing has grown more timid; and how writers can still engage seriously with divisive subjects without surrendering either honesty or nuance. The conversation also turns personal: Shriver's religious upbringing, her own personal experiences with immigration, and reflections on the diminishing cultural authority of the novelist. Lionel Shriver is an author and journalist, a graduate of Columbia University, and a columnist for The Spectator. Her fiction confronts some of the defining issues of modern life: school shootings in We Need to Talk About Kevin, the cost of healthcare in So Much for That, economic instability in The Mandibles, aging and suicide in Should We Stay or Should We Go, and low intelligence and DEI in Mania. Her latest novel, A Better Life, takes up immigration from the perspective of the host.

Bestselling novelist and commentator Lionel Shriver returns to the podcast to dicuss what might be her most controversial book yet. A Better Life takes on immigration through the story of a progressive Brooklyn woman who opens her home to a migrant. In this interview, she and Meghan discuss the book's themes and central characters, including the deliciously complicated Nico, a basement-dwelling fan of manospheric podcasts, and the role of the family's sprawling, Queen Anne-style house, which is almost a character in itself. They also talk about demography, population decline, and the cultural shift from seeing children as the default to seeing them as an elective. Lionel was a contributor to Meghan's 2015 book Selfish, Shallow and Self-Absorbed: Sixteen Writers On the Decision Not To Have Kids, and they revisit their respective choices in that regard, what people really mean when they talk about happiness and fulfillment, and why sacrifice may be more central to a meaningful life than our culture likes to admit. Guest Bio: A prolific journalist with a fortnightly column in Britain's The Spectator, Lionel Shriver has written widely for the New York Times, the London Times, the Financial Times, Harper's Magazine, and many other publications. She has written 16 novels, including Mania, Should We Stay or Should We Go, The Mandibles, and We Need to Talk About Kevin, and her work has been translated into 35 languages. Her latest novel is A Better Life.

In Episode 219, Sarah talks with author T Kira Madden about her debut novel, Whidbey. A dark, atmospheric story that explores the long reach of violence and the lack of recourse many victims face, Whidbey tackles difficult themes including sexual abuse, stalking, and the ways narratives around these crimes are shaped by media and public perception.

In Lionel Shriver's new novel, a family with a large and lovely house in Brooklyn invite a Honduran asylum seeker to come and live with them. The young woman is pleasant and helpful. But the adult son of the family – unemployed, idle, and disagreeable – is deeply opposed to her presence in his home. This being a Lionel Shriver novel, the drama soon goes in an unexpected direction. 'A Better Life' is a novel about immigration, gender, and political polarisation – all topics we discuss today. Lionel is the author of nineteen novels, winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction for the massive bestseller 'We Need to Talk About Kevin', and a columnist at the Spectator Magazine. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

First Novelist to Attack Immigration - They're DESTROYING Her Join the Community: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Lionel Shriver is a bestselling novelist (We Need to Talk About Kevin) who did something no one else has dared to do: she wrote a novel about immigration from the perspective of the native population. Her new book, "A Better Life," tells the story of a progressive Brooklyn mother who volunteers to house a migrant—and what happens when hospitality is requisitioned without consent.

The New York Times despised it. The I newspaper ran a headline suggesting her book should be titled "Keep America White." But Lionel doesn't back down. In this conversation, we discuss why no novelist has ever written from this perspective before, the nuanced portrayal of both sides of the immigration debate, the rise of white ethno-nationalism as a response to years of anti-white rhetoric, the loss of culture that natives experience (just like colonized peoples did), and why the progressive establishment is terrified of this book. Lionel also shares her thoughts on Douglas Murray, the state of woke culture in 2026, cancel culture, the violence of the left, and what happens when a society loses its moral plot. This is one of the most important conversations about immigration, culture, and literature you'll hear this year. #cancelculiure #massimmigration #heretics  Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com  Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates  Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 1:11 Welcome - First Novelist to Write From Native Perspective 2:37 Eric Adams Program - The Inspiration for the Book 3:16 The Plot - Progressive Mother Invites Migrant Into Her Home 4:46 Nico - The Conservative Son With No Ambition 8:00 The Backlash - Keep America White Headline 9:04 Loss of Culture - What Happens to Natives 13:11 White Ethno-Nationalism Was Inevitable 15:24 The Mystery - Why Is The West Letting This Happen? 18:45 Literature Only Tells Immigration Stories From Immigrant Perspective 25:00 JK Rowling - Writers Who Push Back 26:11 The Elite Think Most People Are Despicable 27:04 Somalia Example - Some Groups More Beneficial Than Others 29:40 Immigration As Charity - A Better Life For Whom? 31:25 Immigrants Who Oppose Mass Immigration 34:00 How To Get Through To The Mainstream 38:20 The Publishing Industry's Reaction 43:10 Douglas Murray - The Heretic Lionel Admires 46:55 The Strange Death of Europe - The Book That Said What No One Would Say 50:30 Why Douglas Murray Travels With Bodyguards 52:45 Is Woke Dead in 2026? 58:07 Where to Get the Book 58:28 Douglas Murray Event in New York 1:00:05 Douglas Murray's Generosity 1:01:39 Will Woke Disappear Entirely?

La gran directora Katherine Bigelow estrena su nueva cinta " A House of Dynamite" una especie de tríptico sobre un ataque nuclear inminente a los Estados Unidos. Las tres visiones de dicha crisis, construyen tres relatos diferentes, pero que no necesariamente funcionen igual o se nutran uno a otro. A pesar de cualquier "pero" la pelicula para variar en Bigelow es muy muy notable y vale la pena verla. Echamos además un ojo al resto de sus películas.FE DE ERRATAS: Dijimos que Bigelow fue la primera mujer en haber sido nominada a la categoría de mejor dirección lo cual fue una mentira podrida. Fue la realizadora italiana Lina Wertmüller quien en 1977 logró esta distinción por primera vez, más tarde en los 90 llegaba Jane Campion la neozelandesa con El Piano. Bigelow fue la primera pero EN GANAR!.Se cumple ya una década de la primera incursión de Netflix, hacia la temporada de premios. Beasts of No Nation, tremenda película, cumple sus primeros 10 años."Die my Love" la cinta de la realizadora Lynne Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin), llega a pantallas con un thriller psicológico donde sin duda la actuación de Jennifer Lawrence es lo mas notable y posiblemente un boleto directo a las nominaciones a los diferentes premios de este año."Steve", pelicula británica, mucho británica de Tim Mielants está ya en plataforma. Esta cinta que fue al Festival de Cine de Toronto, es un proyecto modesto pero inmensamente intenso en cuanto a emociones. Cyllian Murphy protagoniza, como Steve, un director de un programa de reintegración de menores con antecedentes criminales, en una crisis nerviosa y existencial en el peor día de su vida. Vale toda la pena verla.Finalmente, el gran Olallo Rubio nos tira una tremenda nota de voz, larga a consciencia, analítica y bien argumentada de sus 3 recomendaciones. Gracias a todos por sus mensajes, siempre los leemos y nos hacen muy felices.GUCCI!

Hide your dogs and work on your grip strength as we drop into 1993's The Good Son. How does a parent overlook a whole murder shed? Why were Hallmark-level thrillers being released on the big screen in the 90s? Is this movie the most forceful argument for everyone needing to go to therapy—but with, like, a capable therapist? And are Elijah Wood and Macaulay Culkin the ultimate latchkey kids? If you survive dangling off this precarious cliff, we'll tell you everything you need to know.

En virtud de siempre encontrarse a un paso de la locura, Los Padres del Cine se han convertido en expertos en la ciencia psicológica.

September 3 in NYC at 6 pm, I'll be in conversation with Lionel live at The Village Underground. Tix available here. Use promo code CATASTROPHE18 at checkout for a discount. Bestselling novelist and beloved (and occasionally be-hated) columnist Lionel Shriver returns to the podcast to talk about several topics, including her most recent novel, Mania. In that novel, she imagines a society under the grip of “mental parity,” a concept arguing that all individuals possess equal intelligence and no one should be given greater credence or responsibility because of the perception that they are smarter. We also discuss our own intelligence (are we really all that smart?) and wonder what makes us so resistant to groupthink in politics and daily life, especially around movements like #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, and gender ideology. In search of a lighter topic, we finally move on to . . . immigration. (Oops.) As a Los Angeles resident, I've been alarmed by the ICE raids in my community, and I'm quite upset about the Trump administration's policies. As a longtime expatriate in the U.K. and as the author of a forthcoming novel about immigration (A Better Life, coming in February 2026), Lionel sees things a little differently. GUEST BIO A prolific journalist with a fortnightly column in Britain's The Spectator, Lionel Shriver has written widely for the New York Times, the London Times, the Financial Times, Harper's Magazine, and many other publications. Her first nonfiction book, ABOMINATIONS: Selected Essays from a Career of Courting Self-destruction, was published in 2022. It joins a story collection and fifteen novels, including Mania, Should We Stay or Should We Go, The Mandibles, and We Need to Talk About Kevin (a 2011 film starring Tilda Swinton). Her work has been translated into 35 languages. Her latest novel A Better Life, focused on immigration, will be out in early 2026. UPCOMING EVENT: Once again, if you enjoyed this interview, join me in NYC on September 3 at The Village Underground for a conversation with Lionel about The Catastrophe Hour as well as her work. Topics will include (but are not limited to) death, sex, real estate, dogs, beauty, grief, aging, cancelation, incels, femcels, self-destruction, natural disasters, pronatalism, anti-natalism, human intelligence, and cultural stupidity. Doors open at 5:15, show starts at 6pm. Tix available here. Use promo code CATASTROPHE18 at checkout for a discount. HOUSEKEEPING
