Literary Loitering - Irreverent Mockery With Cultural Anarchists
Literary Loitering 107 - Laser Bulge Versus Sexy Voodoo
24 Aug 2019
We kick things off this week with an excerpt from the 1960s sci-fi novel Agent of Chaos by Norman Spinrad, which has a “hero” with a remarkably familiar name … Other discoveries this week include some very off books written by candidate for the nomination for the candidacy to become U.S. President Marianne Williamson, the rumour of the possibility of a children’s book that Meghan Markle may be thinking about writing, the fact that Donald Trump Jr. has written a book, the defence of the bizarre Cats trailer by the T. S. Eliot estate, and a village game that involves hiding books from children. After all that business is over, Rob rather appropriately ends the show with Wastelands: The New Apocalypse - an anthology of post-apocalyptic shorts stories edited by John Joseph Adams.
