From the operatic gore of Hannibal to the restrained suggestion made by authors like Janet Evanovich, every author has to choose how best to depict the violence that so often drives plot threads.

Josh comes at this challenge from the perspective of a teacher who's made a career out of trying to get students to see the depth and symbolism buried in the classics, and talks about letting go of seeing a book as precious or perfect. Dietrich discusses how the process of recording this podcast has changed the way he sees books, from forcing him outside of his comfort zone to speaking about why he...2019-04-111h 34The Library PoliceEpisode 242: Romance in FictionThis week, Josh and Dietrich examine how authors craft believable romantic relationships, and the potential pitfalls. They look at the idea of crafting a relationship in service to the story, instead of the other way around. They look at how authors develop characters before bringing them together, making sure that they exist as distinct, three-dimensional individuals rather than just relationship fodder. Josh talks about some of the more remarkable examples of romance in some unexpected places, while Dietrich discusses the art of developing a relationship over a multi-book series. In addition, Josh reads the surprisingly dark conclusion to one...2019-03-271h 39The Library PoliceEpisode 241: The Past Looms LargeThis week, Josh and Dietrich explore the pitfalls and challenges of opening up those old classics, particularly when those books delve into issues that are far more uncomfortable now.

They talk about how expecting a book to be terrible can actually help our impressions, while describing a book as "one of the greats" can often create an impossible hurdle. Josh talks about how expectations engendered rage at Lady in the Water and a surprised enjoyment of Solo, and Dietrich explains why he's more forgiving of the flaws in Palo Alto than he is with White Noise. The...2018-09-171h 25The Library PoliceEpisode 233: The Literary CanonThis week, Josh and Dietrich discuss a New York Times article asking about how books enter and leave the literary canon. Who decides what books are added, and how is it decided? Does the general acceptance of a book's addition to the canon grant it a permanent spot, or can revelations about the author or changes in public perception render books more obsolete than we'd like to admit? How can we develop and cultivate a literary canon that's more inclusive and considerate of all readers, not just the few?

Josh discusses the character development in the book, and how Slimani fleshes out a trio of deeply flawed yet very human characters. Dietrich raves about the unexpected ending that would have been infuriating in a lesser book, but seems to fit more in this book.

Using Noah Hawley's visual masterpiece Legion, the pair come up with books that explore sanity, push the boundaries between what's real and what's not, and just generally leave you baffled.

Full of multi-volume epics and thousand-page long tomes, this is a daunting genre to get into, and as the pair discuss, it's just as important that you don't start at the wrong place as it is to find the right place. They talk about steering clear of classics such as Lord of the Rings and George RR Martin, and why these legendary books are just about the worst place to start. Instead, they look at authors such as Scott Lynch, Lev Grossman, and JK Rowling, an...2018-02-151h 46The Library PoliceEpisode 223: Get Back Into The GrooveHave you made New Year's Resolutions to lose weight, double your pay, and read more books? Well, we can't help you with two of those, but Josh and Dietrich are here with some suggestions on how to jump start your reading habits for the year. The duo dismiss the idea of "guilty pleasures", encouraging you to grab whatever makes you grin. Josh talks about the joy of always having a book in his pocket, and how technology makes it easier than ever to read a few pages while waiting for your oil change. Dietrich recommends revisiting some favorite books...2018-01-111h 35
The Library PoliceEpisode 221: Dark Tower, Books 1-4After a long delay, Dietrich and Josh finally sit down for the first big chunk of filling in Dietrich's gap in his Stephen King education: the Dark Tower series. The pair dig into the first four books, warts and all. Josh talks about the discovery of The Gunslinger on the shelves of a bookstore, and his deep love of this bizarre, strange world and its unrelenting protagonist. Dietrich discusses why the second book nearly led him to give up on the series entirely, and why he's extremely glad that he kept going. They debate the bizarre choice of Detta W...2017-12-062h 04

Josh talks about a book that tried unsuccessfully to fold spousal abuse into a soap-opera style story, and Dietrich discusses the jarring moment in which threats of violent sexual assault were brought into Janet Evanovich's previously pulpy Stephanie Plum series. While they both agree that no topic needs to be forbidden, it's also critically important that an author realizes that a different tone and approach are necessary when dealing with such ugly topics. They also talk about the challenge of using recent global disasters or c...2017-11-041h 40The Library PoliceEpisode 218: Classics vs. ModernThis week, Josh and Dietrich tackle the topic of school reading, focusing on the question of whether it's time for the classics to take a back seat for more modern authors. Josh approaches this from the perspective of an English high school teacher who's spent years working to find ways to make the great literature of history appealing and relevant to his students, while Dietrich takes a much more combative approach to the classics, arguing that anything that turns students off of reading is a mistake from the beginning. Josh points out the challenges teachers are faced with in...2017-10-011h 30The Library PoliceEpisode 217: A Primer for ThrillersAfter some technical gremlins tried to take down Dietrich's computer, he's rallied and brought out this new episode, in which the pair tackle the surprisingly difficult challenge of a primer for thrillers. Immediately, Josh and Dietrich run headfirst into the definition of a thriller, debating how in the world a book like A Simple Plan can exist in the same world as Relic. They discuss how surprisingly broad the genre is, and look at how the basic tenets of thrillers crop up in horror, science fiction, noir, and countless other genres of fiction. With no easy answer, the pair de...2017-09-151h 30The Library PoliceEpisode 216: The Adventure Zone Balance ArcJosh and Dietrich started The Library Police based on their love of stories, and every once in a while, they decide to take some time to highlight extraordinary storytelling outside of the written word. This week, they're joined by Quentin White to discuss the recently completed Balance Arc of the remarkable podcast The Adventure Zone. The three sit and talk about how a goofy podcast of three sons sitting down to play Dungeons and Dragons with their dad transformed over 69 episodes from a silly comedy podcast to one of the most uplifting and joyous pieces of storytelling they've ever s...2017-08-261h 40The Library PoliceEpisode 214: What Does an Author Owe You?This week, Josh and Dietrich discuss what, if anything, an author owes their readers, and discover that their answer is much more complicated than the last time they debated this. Josh points out the challenge of addressing the demands of a rabid fan base, and makes a somewhat depressing prediction about the last few books in the Game of Thrones series. Dietrich talks about the fear of starting a new epic series when so many authors are leaving their work unfinished, and the impact this has on new authors hoping to pen their own long term series. Finally, they (v...2017-07-221h 22The Library PoliceEpisode 213: AdaptationsThis week, Josh and Dietrich are joined by special guest Quentin White to discuss adaptations. A topic that they've touched on several times, the trio dig deep into some of the more recent adaptations, looking on what makes the jump from page to screen a successful one. They look at the surreal visual spectacles of Bryan Fuller's Hannibal and Noah Hawley's Legion, two television shows that have used every tool at their disposal to create extraordinary interpretations of gothic horror and psychic warfare. They discuss why television seems to be so much more fertile ground for adaptations, with the ab...2017-07-021h 36The Library PoliceEpisode 212: Beach ReadingTurn on the Jimmy Buffett, grab the sunblock, and head for those sandy shores. This week, Josh and Dietrich look at what makes a book that perfect beach read. Josh talks about the challenge of finding a horror novel that works well for vacation reading, and Dietrich discusses the value of a clever hook in a book you're going to devour in just a few days. Fantasy and science fiction surprisingly have a strong showing in their recommendations, with titles from J. Zachary Pike, Saladin Ahmed, and podcast favorite Scott Lynch. While they acknowledge that the nastier turns of...2017-06-061h 37The Library PoliceEpisode 211: Nineteen Eighty-Four by George OrwellThis week, the pair sits down for their discussion of one of the most famous dystopia novels ever written. Nineteen Eighty-Four introduced phrases and concepts such as Big Brother, doublespeak, and more to our culture, and is a depressingly relevant today as it was when it was written. Josh challenges Dietrich to answer why this book, with its flaws in dialogue, characters, and more works, whereas a book like Atlas Shrugged doesn't. Dietrich talks about why this book seems to be independent of the time it was written, speaking more to human nature than the culture of the fifties. Jo...2017-05-211h 31The Library PoliceEpisode 210: Interactive StorytellingFollowing up last week's discussion of audio storytelling, Josh and Dietrich continue to explore different ways of storytelling by exploring interactive fiction, and the ways that new forms of media are exploring narratives, particularly video games. They discuss the brilliant game based on "The Walking Dead" franchise, and how your agency in the story gives it a weight wholly absent from the television show or graphic novel. Dietrich discusses the quietly moving "Firewatch", which allows solitude and reflective conversations piece together a tragic, and surprisingly personal story. Josh looks at the stark and haunting "Papers, Please", a puzzle game...2017-05-061h 25The Library PoliceEpisode 209: Audiobooks and Audio StorytellingThis week, Josh and Dietrich obey the mad whims of their listeners and sit down to discuss audiobooks. But as the beginning of the discussion focuses on why they don't actually listen to audiobooks, they also decide to wrap the newer developments in audio storytelling into the discussion. Josh talks about the challenge of adapting a written story to an audio medium, Dietrich discusses some of the reasons that he's heard people cite for choosing audiobooks over print, and they talk about some of the audiobooks that are really embracing the freedom that the medium offers. But outside audiobooks...2017-04-151h 36The Library PoliceEpisode 208: What Comes Next? After the Apocalypse, I MeanThis week, Josh and Dietrich sit down to discuss postapocalyptic fiction. They begin by highlighting the critical differences between postapocalyptic and dystopian fiction, separating novels like 1984 from I Am Legend. Josh discusses the importance of recognizing that postapocalyptic books still need to embrace a narrative arc, and that failing to do so can result in a meandering, pointless misery fest (cough cough The Walking Dead cough). Dietrich looks at quieter scenarios of the end of the world, including the almost quaint community at the heart of Alas, Babylon, and the slow, melancholy apocalypse of Age of Miracles. Josh looks at st...2017-04-011h 25The Library PoliceEpisode 207: Underground Railroad by Colson WhiteheadThis week, Josh and Dietrich finally tackle Underground Railroad, by Colson Whitehead. The two discuss the similarities that this alternate history book has with earlier favorites Big Machine and Lovecraft Country, and how Whitehead uses fictional portrayals of life in the slave south to illustrate the wide range of racism and all its insidious forms. Josh raves about the way the book shifts between subtlety and horror, and Dietrich talks about the fact that a single section set in South Carolina was enough to carry the book. They look at the parts of this book that work, and the part...2017-03-111h 27
