    What are more tools we can use to further develop theme and the point-of-view character's worldview? In her novel The Book of X, Sarah Rose Etter regularly breaks the action with lists of facts.

  • Fruiting Bodies and Being Mean to a Child

    Fruiting Bodies and Being Mean to a Child
    Oct 9 2023

    Point-of-view characters. You love them. You understand them. They still do mean things. How can you keep your reader empathizing with your point-of-view character even if they do something villainous?

    Also: Ben (a philosophy major) and Emily (an outdoor enthusiast) interpret the climax pretty differently.

    • Read this short story before listening to the episode: "Algal Bloom" by Kathryn Harlan in Michigan Quarterly Review
    • Buy the whole collection Fruiting Bodies (Emily's short story collection of the year!) here
    • A poem that rocks: "Taking a Visitor to See the Ruins" by Paula Gunn Allen

Sometimes Annoying but Overall Quality Content

Found this looking to discuss Our Wives and it did NOT disappoint. I closed the book feeling vaguely unsettled and like wtf did I just read. I found three podcasts before this one that did absolutely nothing to reorient me. This one, however, thoroughly desconstructed the novel (inasmuch can be done in under and hour) and left me feeling like I had a much stronger grip on the intangible things I was struggling to put words to. Needless to say, I subscribed to the larger channel. A sophisticated podcast with bones. I'll be recommending it to my undergrad students and uni peers alike.

The missing star? (I know this sounds mean, but it had to be said:)

Benjamin Kerns has the condescending and smarmy tone of every guy I went to graduate school with. His laugh makes me want to rip off his glasses and punch him in the nose. That is truly an unfair reaction because nothing he said was inherently bad or offensive, in fact he had great points and was careful to regularly and generously cede the floor to his cohost. But still... that laugh. It's the same one every misogynist "academic" used in my direction throughout my many years of higher education and I guess I found an exposed nerve I didn't know I had while listening. I do hope he grows on me because otherwise this podcast is really top tier.

edit: it took three episodes but he did indeed grow on me. Not editing it out in case others had the same initial reaction. I promise, he really does grow on you eventually. An acquired taste but worth sticking with it.
