538 Writing Our Extinction (with Patrick Whitmarsh) | My Last Book with Christina Jarvis
from The History of Literature · host Jacke Wilson / The Podglomerate
Jacke continues his Emily Dickinson series with a reading of Poem #32. Then Professor Patrick Whitmarsh stops by for a discussion of his new book Writing Our Extinction: Anthropocene Fiction and Vertical Science, which examines works by Don DeLillo, Karen Tei Yamashita, Reza Negarestani, and Colson Whitehead (among others) to see how post-Oppenheimer authors have responded to the existential crises of climate change and the nuclear age. And finally, Kurt Vonnegut's biographer Christina Jarvis selects two books to be the last ones she will ever read. Help support the show at patreon.com/literature or historyofliterature.com/donate.
