We have a trailer @lithub—and an interview with me—for the new Cosmic Library season on The Brothers Karamazov:

The new season starts April 16! It opens with a radio-play adaptation of Dostoyevsky's novel!

Cosmic Librarians, you've heard a reflection on Diane Oliver in our U.S. short story season; now you can read @GabrielJBump on the subject of Oliver and her stories:

@higley_alex True, yes! Justin mentions the former-podcaster status in the show. Still—metaphysically—I sometimes think that no one ever stops being a podcaster.
Eager to read TRUE FAILURE! A book with such a title goes immediately to the top of my list.

"When people say they use my podcast to fall asleep, it feels slightly insulting," says @NYerFiction's Deborah Treisman on the @_CosmicLibrary_. But fiction and podcasts work in dreamy ways; hear about it all in the finale of this season on short stories:

Ok there’s a lot going on in this episode, including a meditation on literary podcasting, and my discovery that characters in @my19thcentury’s REBOOT are named after actual lit podcasters @higley_alex and @clnichols6.

Get ready for a very American conclusion to our season on American fiction. How American? At one point the novelist Justin Taylor exclaims, "I'm back, baby! I'm rebooted!" Nobody said such things in the Finnegans Wake season. (But it's not so far from a summary of the Wake.)

This week: @NYerFiction's Deborah Treisman, @tayari, @my19thcentury, Becca Rothfeld, and Andrew Kahn. Hear about The NYer's glittering fiction archive—a "very, very diverse and interesting and jumbled-up catalog," in Kahn's words.
@lithub and everywhere!

This week’s show follows conversations on weird fiction and more—there’s @my19thcentury on Poe, Andrew Kahn on the brevity of some weird fiction, and a journey into cosmic strangeness.

@_CosmicLibrary_ @KnowYrEnemyPod @SelectedShorts what's a great entry point episode I should start with?

Very happy with the shows now listed as "you might also like" for Cosmic Library in Apple Podcasts. @DavidNaimon's Between the Covers, @KnowYrEnemyPod, @SelectedShorts. It's a good situation over there!

@_CosmicLibrary_ I've just been listening to the new season! Big "Wakefield" fan

New essential reading for Cosmic Librarians, from @egabbert: publishersweekly.com/9780374605896
English

There's a transporting reading of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Wakefield" by the actor Max Gordon Moore in the latest episode—and you'll hear @my19thcentury introduce Hawthorne. Find it at @lithub or in any podcatcher:

"If I know you, and I have not given you a copy of this book, it means I don't like you."
High praise from Tayari Jones as she discusses NEIGHBORS AND OTHER STORIES on @_CosmicLibrary_'s American short stories episode.
Give it a listen!
