    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.

    84 CHARING CROSS ROAD >> Want to feel inspired? Want to look at this charming 1970 classic in a whole new way?? Listen in!

    10/06/2026 | 53 min
    Famously, the enduring appeal of 84, Charing Cross Road rests on its correspondence between an American TV-writing woman and a British bookseller. But what if the slim volume's real power comes mostly just from the independent, iconoclastic, sassy and powerful Helene? Or from Helene and all the other female voices in this delightful favorite? Treat yourself today!

    (If you haven't read it, you might take the hour to do so before listening. No spoilers, really, but we get pretty in depth.)

    LAZAR by Nelio Biedermann >> I finished this one and had some THOUGHTS.

    03/06/2026 | 1 h
    Much has been made of Nelio Biedermann's wunderkind status. And there are plenty of reasons people are calling his debut novel "virtuousic" and "astonishing." It was SO fun to look at why much of this novel really worked, and why much of it . . . didn't.

    BLUETS by Maggie Nelson >> I haven't pored over a text this intently in a looong time.

    26/05/2026 | 1 h 16 min
    Famously, the 240 "propositions" BLUETS produce a genre-bending, poetic, heady, broody, completely INGENIOUS work. Whether you've read it a dozen times or picked it up or, tried it and thought, what is happening here, listen in to more fully appreciate SO MUCH about its structure, its fascinating narrative stance, its HUMOR and the radical thing Nelson is doing by foregrounding all those old, white, male philosophers. This was such a gratifying lecture to record. Seventy-six minutes from now, you could--thanks to Nelson--feel inspired, humbled and a little smarter.

    YESTERYEAR by Caro Claire Burke >> Wondering about the ending? Or what really happened in during the assault scene?? Tune in!

    19/05/2026 | 37 min
    This controversial page turner is SO engaging. Find out why I think that's the case (from a literary perspective) while also allowing me to provide some forensic-style info as to the book's original shape (IT WAS MAYBE SEMI-UTOPIC!), what is actually going on in the assault scene (it's complicated) and what we might make of the ending. This lecture was SO fun (and weirdly short). Listen in now!
