Unlike most poets, however, Bai wasn’t just a poet: he was also a politician, a scholar-bureaucrat tasked with helping to guide China through a moment of immense social, military, and economic crisis. Did he succeed in this endeavor? No. He failed dramatically. But his and his country’s failure gave the world some of the most honest, most efficiently beautiful poetry ever written about what it means to try and live a good and decent life in a...2018-01-1721 minThe MMA H.E.A.T.

The Joy of Serious LiteratureEpisode 8 | The Genius of Decadence | The Wings by Yi SangSome writers ask the easy questions, others ask hard questions, but only one has ever asked the question: “Have you ever seen a stuffed genius?” This question—with all its despondency, moroseness, and arrogance evoke the world of Yi Sang, the weirdo titan of the Korean avant-garde. Trained as an architect, dead at 27, occasionally a pimp, obsessed with uselessness, devoted to laziness, imprisoned for thought crimes, Yi Sang was one of the most delightfully strange writers to ever walk the earth.

For the last twelve years, there has hardly been a month where I haven’t thought at least twice about a single haiku written by Richard Wright in the last months before his death. Somber and yet joyous, imprisoning and yet liberating, its word and image have become a permanent part of who I am as a person.

The Joy of Serious LiteratureEpisode 6 | The Wages of Ugliness | The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea by Yukio MishimaOn November 25th, 1970, the leading East Asian contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature tried to overthrow the Japanese government in a dramatic coup d'état. Failing at this, he then committed suicide via a combination of disembowelment and beheading. For more than fifty years, Yukio Mishima's life and death have defined Japanese literature.
But what about the actual writing? What made this man so magnetic? So popular? So powerful? So determined to die in the most ostentatious way possible?

The Joy of Serious LiteratureEpisode 5 | What Makes a Genius Writer a Genius? | Report on the Thing by Clarice LispectorWhat makes the "genius writer" actually a genius? What does it even mean to be a "genius"? How does genius manifest itself on the page? When I think of these questions, a writer comes to mind: the Brazilian novelist, housewife, and national hero Clarice Lispector. Never was a writer more audacious, never was a writer more mindbogglingly strange. To understand her and genius itself, all we need to do is look at one single short story, Report on the Thing, about a woman deep in a metaphysical love affair with an alarm clock.

The Joy of Serious LiteratureEpisode 4 | I Am Not Your Theologian | Go Tell It On The Mountain by James BaldwinWhen we talk about James Baldwin, we always talk about him in terms of America's racial politics.

In this episode, we examine his first novel: Go Tell It on the Mountain, the story of a young black boy trying to survive under the crushing weight of his father's draconian vision of Christianity. Both brilliant and beautiful, the novel tries to get at the heart of a question perhaps even more difficult than race--the nature of religion.
