[The Forest of Symbols Podcast @AldousAsterion]

I had a chat with my brother about the rather hardboiled and pessimistic 1973 Russian SF novel Roadside Picnic (written by a pair of brothers) and its strangely hopeful, mystical film adaptation by Andrei Tarkovsky, Stalker.

[What Ho…A Rat!! @WhatHoARat]

William Blake, The Ecchoing Green

Icymi, the magnificient @ScottLaudati joined me to talk about the writing dream, uncovering America, being on television, and his piercing new collection of poetry RAINBOW ROAD. Link below.

[Book Club from Hell @bookclubhell666]

Reading for an episode. The constant goofy CCRU/CCRU-adjacent neologisms are sometimes irritating, sometimes charming. The non-stop barrage of new concepts which may or may not be jokes is also by turns irritating and charming. Overall, very effective horror!

Icymi, in this special *free* Madness episode on Don DeLillo’s LIBRA, I go in-depth on how DeLillo renders visible the invisible, conspiracy theory as literature, and the bizarre story of Kerry Thornley. Link in comment.

Icymi. We know Poe as master of the macabre, but this might be the story of his which unsettles me the most. INcisive, eery, Modern…are we still allowed to say Lynchian? Here’s bot-free recording of “The Man of the Crowd.’https://t.co/qFXZDH3xe1

[Method and Madness @madmethodpod]

Icymi, @laethcore joined me for a conversation about jazz, writing as discovery, listening for the voice, and his singular work, including his most recent novel SKETCHES OF ALICE. Buy his book! Link to episode below.

[Method and Madness @madmethodpod]

Now free to all. The great @raviddice joined me to talk perhaps the strangest novel of the Vietnam war. MEDITATIONS IN GREEN: David’s personal experience studying w/ Wright, the consciousness of the jungle, the chaos of total information, and much, much more. Link below.

[Method and Madness @madmethodpod]

Icymi. In episode 1: MOBY-DICK. Not just the craft, symbology, and meaning, but also the book's context in the American Renaissance, influence from the Burned-Over District, spooky coincidences, and just how close the Great American Novel is to being Lovecraftian. Link below.

The Earthen Dark by @bradkelly is a compelling look into the darkness of man and the eternal unconscious of the world itself. I was lucky enough to read it this weekend and would recommend it.
