Ark AudioArk Audio Book Club #11 10:04 by Ben LernerOn this special anniversary edition of the Ark Audio Book club we have brought together the panel from the first ever episode, on Leaving the Atocha Station, to talk about Ben Lerner’s second novel 10:04. The story of an unnamed Ben Lerner-like New York author, working on a follow up to his well received Atocha Station-like first novel while juggling relationships, family, the spectres of death, technology and ecological disaster and the prospect of having a child with his best friend, all set within a baroque metafictional construction. The novel is a poetically crafted exploration of the differentness temporalities of ar...2016-10-2351 min
Ark AudioArk Audio Book Club #10 The Fountainhead by Ayn RandThis episode is about Ayn Rands epic, and pretty crappy, novel "The Fountainhead". The book was published in 1943 and is one long ode to individualism and a bashing of collectivism. At over 700 pages long it takes shape as a romantic novel about one creative genius: Howard Roark. We invited Lars Seier, the danish patron superieure of Ayn Rand to join the podcast so it wouldn’t end up as a haterclub, but Lars didn’t write me back, anyhow, Lars this episode is for you. This episode features Macon Holt, Emilie Bang Jensen, Franek Korbanski and hosted by Giovanna Alesandro.2016-09-2649 min
Ark AudioArk Audio Book Club #9 Dark Spring By Unica ZürnThis month on the Ark Audio Book Club we read Unica Zürn's 1967 Book 'Dark Spring'. It's the story of a young girl growing up in the suburbs of Berlin, but it's really about her fatally complicated sexual awakening. It’s sort of like the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath but with more misery and general anxiety. This month's book club are Franek Korbanski, Sarah Ommanney, Macon Holt and hosted by Giovanna Alesandro.

Ark AudioArk Audio Book Club #7 Submission by Michel HouellebecqIn the 7th edition of the Ark Audio Book Club we talk about Michel Houellebecq's 2015 novel 'Submission'. The novel is set in the year 2022 in France, and the political tension is escalating. We become acquainted with 40-something Francoise who is professor of 19th century literature at the Sorbonne university and moves through life with a total indifference, that is portrayed quite well within the simple prose of the novel. We have to say that we just didn’t like the book that much and that it in no way merits the title
‘’most important book of the year 2015’’. It could be compare...2016-05-2745 min
Ark AudioArk Audio Book Club #6 Story of the Eye by George BatailleIn the 6th episode of the ark audio book club we are talking about French philosopher Georges Bataille’s novel 'Story of the Eye’, which was originally published in 1928 but wasn’t translated into English, until 51 years later, in 1979. To quote from the paris review; "Story of the Eye, is a dirty book by an unhappy Frenchman. It chronicles the amatory hijinks of a nameless but extremely open-minded narrator, his girlfriend Simone, an English voyeur named Sir Edmund, and Marcelle, a suicidal, mentally ill sixteen-year old. A staggering amount of mirthless sex is had by all, much of it in front...2016-04-2445 min
Ark AudioArk Audio Book Club #5 I Love Dick, by Chris Kraus (Feat. Emma Holten)In the 5th edition of the ark audio book club we are examining "I Love Dick" by Chris Kraus, originally published by Semiotext(e) in 1997, reprinted in 2015 by Tuskar Rock Press in Great Britain. This new edition of the book looks like a toxic spill, with it’s acid green cover and pink letters, it looks like a light read you might enjoy while lying by the pool in Tenerife, but FOR REALS, it’s not a light read, its an explosion and arguably the best book I’ll have read in 2016. We'd also like to thank Telka Peløva from th...2016-03-2751 min
Ark AudioArk Audio Book Club #4 Goodbye to Berlin, By Christopher IsherwoodOn this fourth Ark Audio Book Club we discuss Christopher Isherwood's Goodbye to Berlin. The book is a portrayal of Berlin in the interwar period. From 1930 to 1933 Christopher Isherwood, the narrator who holds the writer's own name, meets a variety of different people and through them portrays this troubling time in Berlin history. The book is divided into six sections, the first and last are diary entries. The rest are dedicated to specific characters. One of them is Sally Bowles, the character who ended up as the main character in the very successful musical Cabaret which certainly helped put Isherwood...2016-02-2635 min

Ark AudioArk Audio Book Club #2 The First Bad Man, By Miranda JulyIn the second edition of ark audio book club, we will be discussing Miranda July’s novel The First Bad Man. Its funny, its dark and its troubling. This book is at least in part about inner and outer conversations, about languages and about the things we can’t say out loud.
