Also: bodybuilding; Michael Jordan; is Christianity the only rebellion left?

Jenny Valentish reading from William Giraldi's The Hero's Body and discussing the ups and downs of reinventing yourself.  How far have you pushed yourself? What's the most fragile edge of yourself that you've stumbled out towards? If I had to choose one instance, it would be the time I ran a marathon with no training. I came in last, and I came in at the very limit of what I could've done. I was at my edge.  Jenny Valentish has explored the edges, both light and dark, not only in her writing, but in living her life. Jenny's the author of Everything Harder Than Everyone Else, and a journalist. She joins me today to discuss the journey of reinvention.

Pousser de la fonte est presque devenu une religion. Aller à la salle, ce n’est plus se préparer physiquement à d’autres pratiques sportives : la musculation est bien devenue un sport en soi. A la fois érotique et viril, le muscle est symbolique, et sa conquête apporte le sentiment de maîtrise et de contrôle. Comment le biscoto est-il devenu si valorisé ?

On this episode Lucas and Matt once again bang their heads against the walls of some of art's big questions. First, Lucas schools Matt on Paul Verhoeven and why he's still important. Then the boys remember Mary Oliver and read the first of what, we hope, will be many more Madonna tweets. Matt talks about what he likes about William Giraldi's book of literary criticism American Audacity. Then, Lucas reads from his piece on the short films of Josh Begley, data artist and law teacher who also writes for The Intercept. https://www.amazon.com/American-Audacity-Defense-Literary-Daring/dp/1631493906 https://theintercept.com/2016/10/26/best-of-luck-with-the-wall/ Music cred Mal Hallett And His Orchestra for "When My Ship Comes In" [Banner 33234, 1934] DJ /rupture (Jace Clayton) & Matt Shadetek – Solar Life Raft (2009).

With novelist and essayist William Giraldi. Author of the novels Busy Monsters and Hold the Dark, and The Hero's Body, a memoir of misspent youth as a bodybuilder, Giraldi is one of the few contemporary American critics worth reading. This month, he publishes his first collection of essays, American Audacity: In Defense of Literary Daring (Norton). Presented by Dominic Green, Culture Editor of Spectator USA.

This week's segments include a discussion on William Giraldi's New Republic essay "Immortal Beloved: Why writers want fans who last forever;" Hilary Mantel's wildly popular Wolf Hall; Laurie Winer reviews the Broadway hit Fun Home; Maret Orliss, senior programming manager for the LA Times Festival of Books, talks about this coming weekend's festival, now in its 20th year.

William Giraldi is the guest. His latest novel, Hold the Dark, is now available from Liveright Publishing. The New York Times Book Review calls it “[F]ierce, extraordinary…. Hold the Dark is an unnerving and intimate portrayal of nature gone awry. It’s all but bereft of levity, spectacularly violent and exquisitely written.” And the Boston Globe says “Maybe it all began with Graham Greene’s Brighton Rock in 1938, but there is a variety of modern thriller, created these days by Robert Stone and Denis Johnson at their best, that delivers narrative thrust and beautifully composed sentences by the pageful even as it peels away the thin membrane that separates entertainment from art, and nature from civilization. Here’s Boston writer William Giraldi adding to the slender ranks of such masterly fiction… [Hold the Dark] certainly stands out as one of the decade’s best books of its kind, and one that deserves, because of its stylish flaunting of some of our darkest fears, a future readership.” Monologue topics: holiday gift ideas, the holidays, capitalist orgies, bad attitudes.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's podcast features freelance book critic Jacob Silverman, who stirred up a lot of discussion last month when Slate published his piece, "Against Enthusiasm" about "the epidemic of niceness in online book culture." Basically, Jacob argued that online book culture has lead away from legit discussion to a series of endorsements and "+1s." Shortly after he wrote this, William Giraldi trashed Alex Ohlin's recent publications, setting off another Twitter firestorm. And of course, the day we recorded this, Giraldi published a long piece in The Daily Beast explaining his beliefs about book criticism. Anyway, this week we talk about all of that . . .
