    Elin Hilderbrand's THE PERFECT COUPLE (and THE FIVE STAR WEEKEND, kind of) >> On July 9, Peacock will air a second adaptation! Listen in to why Hilderbrand's work translates so well to the small screen!

    03/07/2026 | 1 h 3 min
    I loved The Perfect Couple. I even loved the UNperfect parts.

    Part of the reason there's a second tv series is because Hilderbrand is so good at what she does. Listen in to fully appreciate this juicy, splashy series!

    (And if you're someone who turns up her nose at Hilderbrand, but you want a frothy beach read, listen in to hear why her work is much better than you think!)

    A (Literary) Ben Lerner scavenger hunt??

    30/06/2026 | 10 min
    When I came across a new short story by Ben Lerner, an audio version of the story read by Lerner, an interview with Lerner about the short story AND a nonfiction piece by Lerner related to the story, I felt like I'd entered a very Lernerian world.

    Tune in for a quick ten minutes that will convince you to hunt down out "The Readers." Not only is this the very best prose, but the pieces also combine to provide a fat PRIZE at the end of that hunt. NO READING NECESSARY!

    (my very brief thoughts on) STRANGERS by Belle Burden

    26/06/2026 | 15 min
    It might not be the flashiest part of Strangers, but it's worth taking a quick look at why Burden's prose functions so well.

    Also! My sense of specific thing that makes this far more than a cautionary tale about women and personal finances.

    AND! My own personal crusade about how we should describe this woman while recommending this book to everyone we know.

    VILLA COCO by Andrew Sean Greer >> Greer calls this a "charm" novel, and charming it is! But if you love it a little less that you loved LESS, listen in!

    22/06/2026 | 40 min
    Andrew Sean Greer is one of those writers who wrote a book that is so uncommonly GOOD that everything after it pales in comparison. Less--with its propulsive plot, its sneaky narrator and its incredible twist--continues to be an enormous favorite of mine. VILLA COCO might stand in the shadow of that earlier work, but so much is working well here. Especially if you're someone who starts it and feels it lag, this lecture is for you. It picks up! And if you have the real strangths of the novel in mind, it'll be all the more CHARMING.

    NO SPOILERS! A GOOD PRE-READING lecture!

    WHO WILL RUN THE FROG HOSPITAL by Lorrie Moore >> I was weirdly nervous about doing this book justice. I like to think I did!

    15/06/2026 | 52 min
    Moore is SO GOOD that the last half of the lecture is just me doing my favorite party trick! I think of two numbers, then go to the first number's corresponding page and the second number's line. Then I sit back and just revel (explaining all the while) in the author's sheer genius.

    Truly, every single line in this slim cult classic could inspire its own lecture. Listen in now to how Moore pulls off this hilarious, inventive, dark and ultra-intelligent first novel.
