DEATH // SENTENCE

Babe, wake up, my new favourite book just dropped. Music by Sauna Youth.

Imagine The Thing, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and It. Okay, imagining that? Okay, now make it gay. Gayer. More gay than that. That's returning guest Gretchen Felker Martin's follow up to the masterful Manhunt.

This time around, Eden is joined by none other than Vajra Chandrasekera, author of The Saint of Bright Doors and Rakesfall! The two discuss time, history, anti-colonial and colonial violence, the legacy of Arthur C. Clarke in Sri Lanka, memory, scale, science fiction and the New Weird as a genre and so much more! Music played: Wormed - PROTOGOD https://wormed.bandcamp.com/track/protogod

This episode is titled FOUR because Langdon used it to talk to Eden about FOUR books. We have read too many books and all the Smart has leaked away. The books range over topics like psychosis, the death of art, idealism, hauntings, and introspection. You know, Death // Sentence things. The books are: The Passion According to GH - Clarice Lispector Agapē Agape - William Gaddis The Water Statues - Fleur Jaeggy Vertigo - W. G. Sebald Music played: Niftar - Cosmic Embryogenesis https://niftar.bandcamp.com/track/cosmic-embryogenesis

Author Jon Greenaway discusses his book 'Capitalism: A Horror Story' on the podcast. They explore Gothic Marxism, modern horror literature monsters, and the evolution of zombie narratives. Also, they touch on upcoming projects and book recommendations.

After 1989's masterpiece Remains of the Day made him a superstar, Kazuo Ishiguro returned in 1995 with the baffling, divisive The Unconsoled. James Wood said that it created a 'new category of badness' and... we kind of agree. Music by Tribulation and Krallice.

We're here at last - Langdon's journey through the work of Kazuo Ishiguro reaches one of his greatest novels and perhaps of the greatest novels of the past fifty years, Remains of the Day. Music by Enslaved. Would it please sir to visit our Patreon? https://www.patreon.com/DeathSentence

Langdon and Eden cover the weird, gothic, Catholic-horror, and unsettling Woodworm by Layla Martinez. But first, they do the unthinkable and wade into the discourse around Litvrgy. There, they discuss theosophy, the limitations and pitfalls of Litvrgy's ideas, but also the vicious instinct of the dogpile and the vociferous cycle of discourse.

Elle Nash is back on the show to talk about her new book of bodies, babies and bugs, Deliver Me. We talk about parenting, YouTube, the life of a writer and making it in literature in the 2020s.

That's right, we have decided to open up the terrible portal called "The Internet" and ask our listeners some questions!
