As Told ToEpisode 59: Douglas Preston“What really amazed me here was that so many of the authors who submitted stories wrote something completely outside their genre,” reflects best-selling author Douglas Preston, one of the project editors behind the dynamic new collaborative novel Fourteen Days. “This book is full of all kinds of weird stories.” Yes, it is. And so is podcast guest Douglas Preston, co-author of dozens of New York Times best-selling thrillers written with his longtime writing partner Lincoln Child—a shining example of what it means to write in collaboration. In all, Preston has published 39 books of fiction and non-fiction. In addition...2024-02-271h 09

Challenge. Change.Coming of Age Stories and Confronting Divided Loyalties with Professor Spencer TrickerEnglish Professor Spencer Tricker enjoys the study of divided loyalties. When a person explores the dynamic between their conflicting allegiances, it often leads to an inner tug-of-war. Tricker experienced this while growing into his identity as a mixed-race person raised in the United States and Hong Kong. It’s also a research subject. Tricker is working on a book project about transpacific migration from Asia to the U.S., studying the impact of cosmopolitan rhetoric in an area historically connected to military conflicts such as World War II and the Philippine-American, Korean, and Vietnam wars.In the cl...2023-04-2812 min

The 92nd Street Y, New YorkRead By: Monique TruongMonique Truong on her selection:
On March 5, 2020, mere days before COVID-19 would change our day-to-day existence, I attended a crowded bookstore reading here in NYC, where Yoko Tawada and her friend Bettina Brandt read from Tawada's novel, Memoirs of a Polar Bear. They sat side-by-side, each wearing one white glove, and occasionally they held over their respective faces a hand-drawn polar bear mask, made for the occasion by Tawada. I couldn’t make up such delights. Now, when I revisit the off-kilter originality of Tawada’s novel, featuring not one but three polar bear narrators, it brings me right back to t...2021-02-2815 min

LA Review of BooksLiterary LA: Yogita Goyal on the Slave Narrative, Past and PresentYogita Goyal, author of Runaway Genres: The Global Afterlives of Slavery, joins Eric, Medaya, and Kate to discuss the shape of traditional slave narrative and the ways it has been transformed over the past 70 years across the world and in different genres. Goyal talks about what drew her to this subject, and about teaching the slave story in the Trump and Kanye era. She contrasts abolitionist era slave narratives with those from the past five decades, following their return to prominence in African-American literature in the 1970s, bringing together work by Paul Beatty, Colson Whitehead, and Toni Morrison.
