From Flea to Fury | Life of David Part 5 | Nathan Lawson
In this episode, we continue our exploration of the life of David, focusing on a riveting tale of conflict and resolution. As we delve into 1 Samuel chapter 25, we uncover the story of David's encounter with Nabal, a wealthy yet foolish man, and his wise wife, Abigail. David, fresh from victories and on the rise as a leader, faces the challenge of pride and the peril of seeking revenge. Abigail emerges as a pivotal figure, bringing peace and wisdom to a volatile situation, preventing bloodshed and guiding David away from a destructive path.

86 - Marcel Proust's Within a Budding Grove (In Search of Lost Time #2)
David, Nick, and Nathan reconvene to continue their Proust pilgrimage, this time tackling the second volume, Within a Budding Grove. There is discussion around the narrator’s age — whether it be twelve or twenty-two, Proust certainly has a knack for combining the idealism and naiveté of youth with the insight and wisdom of adulthood. There is discussion around the book’s repetition of similar events and themes and how it is used to advance the book’s common aesthetic. And there is discussion around that (infamous?) wrestling scene between Gilberte and the narrator and just exactly what was transpiring amidst th...

And we here at Books of Some Substance will be doing just that, starting off with this episode on the first volume, Swann’s Way. Listen in as David, Nick, and Nathan begin this long journey by attempting to summarize the actual events in the book (likely to be a recurring challenge); by scratching the surface of the concepts of remembering via the senses, attempting to slow down the passage of time, and the tensio...

83 - Bohumil Hrabal's Closely Watched Trains
David, Nick, and Nathan dive into Bohumil Hrabal’s short novel Closely Watched Trains in this latest episode of the podcast. One part coming of age tale, one part (somewhat) epic tale of resistance, and one part celebration of life’s beautiful banality, this compact work will have you simultaneously smirking and wincing as Hrabal somehow weaves the lightness of youth in with the darkness of living under Nazi occupation in World War II. Grab a copy, give it a quick read, maybe even watch the brilliant Jiří Menzel film adaptation, and listen in for the discussion.

61 - Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves Examined
Twenty years ago, Mark Z. Danielewski unleashed the labyrinthine horror novel House of Leaves, a work of fiction that would make both Daedalus and Derrida proud, a sprawling, convoluted, multi-narrative that pushes the bounds of reading and interpretation. But is there a minotaur of meaning lurking somewhere in the halls of the text? Or is it simply the narrative form of Nietzsche's maxim that "there are no truths, only interpretations"? Join David, Eric, and Nathan as they wander the ever-shifting halls of interpretation within the House of Leaves.

Not only did Buzz help Walt Disney make that determination, but he also acted as a feasibility advisor for Disney World, EPCOT, and many other theme park and entertainment complexes throughout his life.
