This week’s story is by South Korean writer and filmmaker Lee Chang-Dong, and it’s called “On Destiny.” It basically traces the entire life of its main character, from his youth in an orphanage, separated during the war from his parents, and through stints of poverty, jail time, and then a possible payday. We talk about what makes certain stories feel fable-like, and the surprising little details that crop up when reading fiction in translation, like unexpected metaphors and unfamiliar aphorisms.

Also this week: another installment of Celebrities Recommend, including book picks from a star tennis player and a Food Network star.

This week we’re discussing a story by a celebrated Iranian author, Goli Taraghi, as well as a piece from the Los Angeles Review of Books that attempts to put her work into a cultural context. Are there things we don’t get, as Western readers? Will certain elements of fiction always be culturally dependent, and thus slightly out of reach for readers outside that culture? Or is the story just too long and kind of meandering?

Also this week: Dave Eggers gets roasted.

Here’s a link to the story: “The Pomegranate Lady and Her Sons”
The piece from the LARB: “雷神加速器iOS版下载-雷神加速器iOS版最新版下载-华军软件园:2 天前 · 雷神加速器iOS版最新版是款专为苹果用户们打造的手游加速工具。雷神加速器iOS版官方版针对手机网络环境自动优化，一键游戏加速，可根据不同的网络情况优选加速方案，解决用户玩手机游戏过程中遇到的各类网络问题。雷神加速器iOS版还可实现高效降低延迟，让您远离丢包和网络延迟的困扰。”

We’re in the midst of a global pandemic and a long-overdue upswell of support for defunding our ridiculously over-militarized police, all of which made Tom want to read a story about his dear old Ireland: Edward J. Delaney’s “The Drowning.” Actually the story is fine–good, even!–but it leads to a discussion of when we want fiction that helps us to think about the current moment and when we want fiction that takes us out of the current moment. Also: we follow up on last week’s discussion of what personal essays are for.

This week we’re discussing an essay by Mary Heather Noble called “Plume: An Investigation,” which was originally published by True Story. The essay weaves together a few narrative strands, including the author trying to understand her young daughter’s sometimes perplexing behavior, which leads her, unexpectedly, to a better understanding of her difficult father. The essay’s a good one, and it prompts a discussion of what makes certain personal essays stand out in what is an increasingly crowded genre.

Also: can anti-racism reading lists help white people grow? Finally, we talk a little about how we pick things to read while we’re in the midst of our own writing projects.

This week we’re discussing Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s Fleishman Is In Trouble, a book that’s been described as the novel Phillip Roth would have written if Phillip Roth understood women. Which is a pretty good Phillip Roth zing, but also maybe true? We talk about the book’s depiction of internet dating, whether its view of marriage is cynical or pragmatic, and why at least one of us felt the need to reconsider some of his own behavior after reading the novel’s closing chapters. Plus: we offer some advice for writers who are trying to promote their work online without stepping on the important work being done–on Twitter and elsewhere–by Black Lives Matter and anti-police activists. Is is possible to talk about your own stuff without getting in the way of an important political and cultural moment? Should you just shut up for a while?

We talk about what makes for good/interesting writing about sex, and how a book like this might hit differently at different ages. Plus: another installment of Judge A Book By Its Cover!

This week we’re discussing a short story by Kelly Ramsey, “First Citizen of Mars,” in which the narrator is the first person flown to Mars by Elon Musk. Actually the story is about all sorts of things, and the Elon Musk bit is really just a jumping-off point. We talk about how fiction can use real people–or well-known fictional characters–in interesting ways. We also take a visit to Yahoo Answers to help some people out with their writing and publishing-related questions, and Tom takes a deep dive into that “what if the Beatles never existed” movie that probably none of us has seen.
