Concavity Show

Pinning this for all eternity.

@etinarcadia3go This is so kind; thank you! Have added this to the TBR. 📚

I feel like the kinds of readers who like books like "A Naked Singularity" and "Miss MacIntosh" and listen to my favorite literary podcast, @ConcavityShow, will one day find "In the Light of What We Know." It's encyclopedic and stimulating in the same ways and will last, I hope.

New episode out today where we talk to the wonderful writer Camille Bordas: concavityshow.com @dave__laird @ConcavityShow

In our latest @ConcavityShow episode, I had the opportunity to speak with Lauren Elkin about her wonderful new novel, Scaffolding. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/epi… Scaffolding is one of my top books of the year. @fsgbooks

This is a great conversation about math, science, philosophy, art, spirituality, reading and writing

@chrisAcreative Thanks, Chris!

In Episode 81, Benjamín Labatut joins to talk about his latest non-fiction novel, The MANIAC. Now live wherever you get your podcasts! #benjaminlabatut #themaniac #whenweceasetounderstandtheworld

Things got a bit away from us this summer, but our bonus episode with Jessica Anthony is now live for Meganovelist Patrons. Sorry for the delay! 📚🎧 #jessicaanthony #themostbook

@BookLuvvr Hey, so glad you liked it!

before I attempt a re-reading, but there will definitely be one. Belatedly discovered it via repeated recommendations on @ConcavityShow and is very very glad I did. Simply astonishingly good. 4/4

Read Adam Levin's "The Instructions"... Wow! That may not technically be the 'best' novel I've read this year, but it is certainly the most consistently enjoyable. It perfectly captured the thought processes, feelings, friendships etc. of being Gurion's age, reminding me of 1/4

Jessica Anthony's new novel (novella?) The Most is the subject of our latest episode of @ConcavityShow. The book centers on the story of a 1950s mother who gets into a swimming pool one warm November morning and refuses to get out. @dave__laird open.spotify.com/episode/3MJMnI…

There’s something particularly satisfying about the conversations with repeat guests…appreciate these opportunities to check in with good people blessed with brilliant minds…

I'm thrilled to say that I got to sit down with Matt Lowell from Lo Moon for the latest episode of @ConcavityShow greatconcavity.podbean.com/e/episode-79-m… @lomoon We discuss how the song came to be, how the album was arranged, and all the literary references along the way.

Fun conversation, with a shoutout to Flannery O’Connor 🎉

@etinarcadia3go @mcsweeneys No immediate signs that it will, by the sound of it. But you never know!

@ConcavityShow @mcsweeneys loved this! he mentioned in the show that a lot of ppl listen to audiobooks of his. do you know if the Instructions will get an audiobook treatment?

In Episode 77 we welcome Adam Levin back on the show to talk about the Bar Mitzvah edition of The Instructions, out soon from @mcsweeneys. Now live wherever you get your podcasts! #adamlevin #theinstructions #mcsweeneys

@mattbucher @ConcavityShow @mcsweeneysbooks @dave__laird I’ve had a signed copy of The Instructions on my shelf for about 5 years and haven’t actually read it yet, but this conversation encouraged me to order the new addition. Having it in two chunks will actually make it possible to carry it with me…and thanks for the coupon code!

@BookLuvvr 9 days?! Fastest IJ read I’ve heard of, wow. 🙌🏼 -D

Re-read David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest". For various boring reasons it took a lot longer than the original planned 9 days. Definitely thinks that IJ currently occupies the slots of both the best & 2nd best things I've read so far this year (although I'm not yet quite 1/4
