F***bois of Literature Book Podcast

Amrita (@AmritaIQ) from the dynamite #Booktube channel AMRITA BY THE BOOK ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmyb1ZvLmaDLBsen6QQrO4A ) is here to discuss one of the most important texts from colonial India: R.K. Narayan’s THE GUIDE. Analogous to WIlliam Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha County or LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, Narayan’s fictional Malgudi is home to Railway Raju, a man who schemes, plans, and falls into becoming a point of spiritual hope in a drought-stricken community.You can also follow Amrita’s Bollywood film podcast here: https://audioboom.com/channel/the-khandaan-podcastFor a summary of THE GUIDE, skip to 28:01Buy the book: https://bookshop.org/books/the-guide-9780143039648/9780143039648Follow FBOL:Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fuckboisoflitInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/fuckboisoflitPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/fuckboisoflit More ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J.

Author and editor Jason Diamond (@ImJasonDiamond) joins us to discuss one of the most strikingly modern books of the 1920s, set in the 1870s: Edith Wharton's THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. Deserving of a modern critique on the blissful happiness and absolute despair of New York's Gilded Age, we discuss ostentatious wealth, literary anti-Semitism, and just how badly we miss going to parties.Buy Jason's books: The Sprawl: Reconsidering the Weird American SuburbsSearching for John HughesFollow FBOL:http://www.twitter.com/fuckboisoflithttp://www.instagram.com/fuckboisoflithttp://www.patreon.com/fuckboisoflit More ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J.

Self-proclaimed comic book geek Andy Michaels (@StopThatAndy/@at0micgh0st) is here to discuss one of the more formative graphic novels of our shared teen/twenties years: SCOTT PILGRIM by Bryan Lee O'Malley. Twenty-three year old Scott has to battle Manic Pixie Dream Girl Ramona's seven evil exes in order to win her partnership– but he hasn't quite told his seventeen year old girlfriend, Knives Chau, that he's fighting for another girl's love. Exes, bands, and surprisingly racist caricatures come fighting in this poppy graphic novel series.Check out Andy's new music debut here: https://linktr.ee/atomicghostFind FBOL!Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fuckboisoflitInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/fuckboisoflitPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/fuckboisoflit More ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J.

[CW] : SEXUAL ASSAULT, ABLEISM, SEXISM, HOMOPHOBIA D.H. Lawrence's much-maligned classic LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER gets a much needed FBOL critique with Aislene and Gracie of The Feminist Critique! The book was notorious for being the subject of a British obscenity trial, on the grounds of the language used in the book. But far and away, the most obscene aspects of Lady Chatterley and Mr. Mellors? Flowers where flowers shouldn't go.

Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats is known more now as the source material for Andrew Lloyd Webber's coke-fueled nightmare of a stage show CATS and its subsequent and somehow scarier film released to cinemas in late 2019 starring an awful lot of people who should've known better. Its author, T.S. Eliot, was one of the most famous poets to emerge from the era of modernism, and carries with him many of the hallmarks of the literary movement, including but not limited to: virulent antisemitism, a fascist leaning, and really effed up relationships to women. LINK TO FULL TEXT: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pHU987DUT4UOZqYPDwkZz_8g7tb_hHp91aTkCFqCelE/edit?usp=sharingMore ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J.

My favorite guest Danielle Ryan (@DaniRat) is here to talk all about Nikolai Gogol’s novella, CHRISTMAS EVE. While other stories revolve around the sweet baby Jesus asleep in his manger or maybe a tree, CHRISTMAS EVE acknowledges the existence of the Church but is mostly about how the entire city of Dykanka is here to fuck with the Devil. Read the full text: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Night_of_Christmas_Eve   Follow FBOL on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fuckboisoflit   SUMMARY (from Wikipedia) The story opens with a description of the winter scenery of Dikanka, Ukraine, a witch flying across the night sky and the devil stealing the moon and hiding it in his pocket, first playing with it in the sky, which no one in the village notices. Since it is the night before Christmas, the devil is free to roam around and torment people as he pleases, so he decides to find a way to get back at the village blacksmith, Vakula, because he paints religious art in the church.

Val (@WhiskeyAndSpite) from our episode on CALL ME BY YOUR NAME was kind enough to sit with me the day before the 2020 election, talk me off a ledge, and discuss 1979's fucked up classic NOTHING LASTS FOREVER, which you might know better as 1988's action movie classic DIE HARD. It's the only book-to-screen adaptation where EVERYTHING is different and EVERYTHING is the same.Follow FBOL on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/fuckboisoflitFollow FBOL on Instagram http://www.instagram.com/fuckboisoflitSUMMARYJoe Leland, a retired police detective, P.I., and terrorism expert, is visiting his daughter Steffie at her high-powered holiday Christmas party in Los Angeles, that eventually becomes a hostage situation for a group of sociopathic Nazi terrorists. More ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J.

It all gets worse from there when King Lear declares his daughters should beg for his benevolence by having an adoration competition to see who inherits his kingdom while he goes off into a Jimmy Buffett style retirement of drinking and carousing. The two oldest, Goneril and Regan, get into shenanigans while Cordelia just gets married off to the King of France. Literally everyone dies. Spoiler alert.More ways to enjoy FBOL & Emily J.
