The EssayWilliam StyronThe 1960s are celebrated for the paradigm shift in American society. This shift was reflected in art and culture as well as politics. But these great changes were not accomplished without controversy. Even in the most slow-flowing art form, literature, great controversies burst out that are now forgotten, but they anticipate what is going on with today's cancel culture. They occurred without the multiplier effect of social media but dominated not just book pages but the society at large. Michael Goldfarb looks at five authors and their books on the receiving end of this cancel culture in...

Rose Rosé: Pramen touhy (poezie)William Styron - Sophiina volba: recenze knihyRecenze knihy Williama Styrona Sophiina volba napsaná v roce 2010 v podobě autorského čtení. Autorské čtení recenze knihy Sophiina volba tak přichází po letech a v době paradoxně dramatičtějších, jakoby svou aktuálností a tlakem soudobých destruktivních událostí chtěla přirozenou cestou vyzdvihnout nadčasovost poselství a odkazu zanechaného v příběhu románu Williama Styrona. Ostatně, pokud lidé nejsou s to spolu mluvit lidsky, ruší tím svou rovnost, bude poplatné vždy, když ponuré a monotónní zlo převáží nad pestrostí života a jeho žití. Recenzi Sophiiny volby pro Pramen touhy namluvil Rose Rosé.

LPP PodcastThe Ethics of Fighting Disease MythsThere’s no need to contest or censor divergent views on addiction and mental illness as told, for instance, by Koren Zailckas, William Styron, and T Kira Madden. They are effortlessly assimilated into the big ball of wax of the standard disease theory.
The process is aided and abetted by leading theorists and commentators like Sally Satel, David Brooks, Maia Szalavitz, and the New York Times.

LPP PodcastAmerican confessions tug at our heart strings. Do they help?Naomi Osaka’s decision to withdraw from the French Open rather than face a post match press conference became worldwide news. Osaka says her depression and anxiety make it impossible for her to speak in public.
Most observers sympathize with Osaka’s reserve, and castigate the tour directors for making her quit. But tennis legend Billy Jean King and most of Osaka’s fellow players feel that successful players should appear publicly in order to raise the visibility and profitability of women’s tennis. For herself, Osaka made $55 million last year— $50 million of it due to product endorsemen...

The Perks Of Being A Book Lover PodcastSeason 4 Ep. 85 The Bones of a Marriage Laid Bare with guest Christina Consolino 4-14-21There is a pop psychology theory about left brain and right brain dominance from the 1980s. Supposedly those with strong right brains are the analyzers and those with dominant left brains are the artists. In this scenario, it is a rare person who is lucky enough to have both sides of their brain work harmoniously; their logical and scientific right brain plays nicely with the creative and imaginative left brain. Our guest this week, debut novelist Christina Consolino would be one of those people. Christina grew up creating stories but also loved to read biographies of famous female scientists...

Primitive Culture: A Star Trek History and Culture PodcastWould You Rather?Star Trek’s Impossible Choices. Since the publication of William Styron’s novel Sophie’s Choice in 1979, the title has entered the cultural lexicon as a term meaning a difficult situation in which a person must choose between two equally deserving alternatives. Two Star Trek episodes-Discovery’s “Lethe” and Voyager’s “Latent Image,” both written by Joe Menosky-borrow the story’s horrifying central conceit: a mother forced to choose between her children. In Jeri Taylor’s Voyager novel Mosaic, we learn that a similarly unbearable choice early in Kathryn Janeway’s Starfleet career almost destroyed her chances at command, plunging her...
