drive your plow over the bones of the dead by olga tokarczuk
we wrap up our eco module (perhaps our most depressing module yet?) with drive your plow over the bones of the dead by olga tokarczuk. we talk about the novel’s unreliable narrator, who is revealed as such in a potentially frustrating way… except it doesn’t frustrate us. shreds talks about writing for writers vs. writing for readers, and the trick tokarczuk plays to potentially frustrate both sides of that divide. we try to make our way through a general lack of knkowledge around astrology and william blake, and we talk about language, translation, and names. shreds tells a strang...

the deluge by stephen markley

Why you should read climate fiction
Let’s be honest: climate science is full of impenetrable jargon, from “greenhouse gases” to “loss and damage” and “net zero” – as we learned in last week’s climate crash courses.But how much do these terms really mean to people who aren’t deeply involved in climate spaces? How many people actually think about keeping global warming under 2°C, perhaps even when they come face to face with it during a heatwave or hurricane? How do we close the gap between science and the average person?It is often said that the role of art is to hold a mirr...

Harold McGee’s 1984 book On Food and Cooking—revised extensively in 2004—changed modern cuisine, inspiring the molecular gastronomy of Ferran Adrià as well as the weeknight creations of humble home cooks everywhere. McGee’s latest book, Nose Dive, is a companion encyclopedia to On Food and Cooking, and it focuses on the most overlooked of our senses: smell. When we bring a fresh oyster or a glass of wine to our lips, what makes us detect minerality or grassiness? When did the molecules that we smell first appear? What happens to these volatile molecules when we transform our food, whether t...

(Short Story) You, Dissapearing - Alexandra Kleeman
Cerpen ini mungkin tidak se-klasik atau se-legend karya-karya yang saya bacakan selama ini. Penulisnya adalah pendatang baru dan masih muda namun karyanya telah cukup banyak diulas oleh koran-koran ternama. Cerpen ini mengisahkan tentang ketakutan menghadapi sebuah akhir. Berbeda dengan kekasihnya yang selalu bersikap optimis dan cenderung tenang menghadapi kiamat, tokoh utama justru ketakutan. Kiamat yang digambarkan di sini adalah hilangnya satu per satu benda atau makhluk di muka bumi. Hilang begitu saja tak meninggalkan jejak, seolah tak pernah ada sebelumnya. Karena ketakutan, si tokoh utama malah memutuskan pergi menjauh dan 'menghilang' sebelum benar-benar menghilang. Ternyata kekasihnya lah yang terlebih dahulu...

#146: How to Save Farming From Itself
For decades, we’ve been filling our plates with fruit and vegetables from California’s Central Valley and with meat fattened by the golden fields of the Corn Belt. But the future of almonds and soybeans looks grim. Industrial agriculture yields massive crops, but in the process destroys its own foundations: groundwater and topsoil. In his new book, Perilous Bounty, journalist and former farmer Tom Philpott explores the contradictions in our food supply by narrowing his focus to these agricultural essentials—water and earth. He reveals a “quiet emergency” happening on our fruited plains, profiles the farmers adapting old ways to a...

Centuries of colonialism and resource extraction have transformed continents and the waters between them. Oceans are rising and acidifying, resulting in the extinction of some species and the proliferation of others. What will the act of eating be like 30 years from now? Fifty? One hundred?

From an author of rare, haunting power, a stunning novel about a young African-American woman coming of age--a deeply felt meditation on race, sex, family, and country. Raised in Pennsylvania, Thandi views the world of her mother's childhood in Johannesburg as both impossibly distant and ever present. She is an outsider wherever she goes, caught between being black and white, American and not. She tries to connect these dislocated pieces of her life, and as her mother succumbs to cancer, Thandi searches for an anchor--someone, or something, to love. In arresting and unsettling prose, we watch Thandi's li...

While her work has earned her comparisons to Karen Russell and Kelly Link, she has a voice that is all her own. In this electric and provocative debut, Machado bends genre to shape startling narratives that map the realities of women's lives and the violence visited upon their bodies.

Episode 392 — Alexandra Kleeman

A woman known only by the letter A lives in an unnamed American city with her roommate, B, and boyfriend, C, who wants her to join him on a reality show called That’s My Partner! A eats (or doesn’t) the right thin...
