This podcast is sustained by sales of our debut book, Meow: A Novel (For Cats). Episode 2: The Twilight World, Heat 2, and the Economics of the Cinematic Novel In this episode, your cat will be given a close-up on a dying artform through the lens of several filmmakers-cum-literati, including Michael Mann, Quentin Tarantino, Brian De Palma, and Werner Herzog. Have these world-class auteurs become true believers in the primacy of the written word, or are they simply victims of a sclerotic feature-film market, nudged by shrewd agents into recycling yesterday’s scripts for a quick buck? Thoughts about the merits and economic upsides of the cinematic novel are meowed vigorously, for a full thirty minutes. MEOW is the first and only literary podcast for your cat, conceived and presented in its native language. This podcast is sustained by sales of our debut book, Meow: A Novel (For Cats). Praise for Meow: A Novel "Breathtaking... a revelation." - Stubbs, Unaltered Domestic Shorthair "Meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow. Meow? Meow." - Joan Didion Follow us on Instagram: @meowliterature and Facebook: facebook.com/themeowlibrary
