F***bois of Literature Book Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

My friend Chael (@NarratorChael) is back to discuss one of her favorite books from her tweenage years: Michael Ende's THE NEVERENDING STORY. Written by a man whose artist father was literally persecuted for being degenerate by the Nazis, THE NEVERENDING STORY is a beautiful consideration on depression and passion and what it means to be a child in a world that really seems to hate children.

The second hour of our show will be dropping next week!

Chael's other work includes the podcasts Once Upon a Rewatch (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/once-upon-a-rewatch/id1553803675) and Vampires Ruined My Life (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vampires-ruined-my-life/id1584585139).

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.

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.

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.

[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. Keep in contact with THE FEMINIST CRITIQUE on their twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/feministcritique or on Twitter at @SouthofGrace @AisleneS and @FeministCrit

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.

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.
