The world's top authors and critics join host Pamela Paul and editors at The New York Times Book Review to talk about the week's top books, what we're reading and what's going on in the literary world.

Latest Episode:


Brandon Taylor on the Sally Rooney Phenomenon

The novelist Brandon Taylor, who has generated his own buzz with his debut novel, “Real Life,” and a collection of stories, “Filthy Animals,” visits the podcast to discuss the much-discussed work of Sally Rooney. Taylor recently reviewed her third novel, [“Beautiful World, Where Are You.”] (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/07/books/review/beautiful-world-where-are-you-sally-rooney.html) On the podcast, he describes Rooney’s writing as an “intense, melancholic tractor beam.” “She has this really great, tactile metaphorical sense, but it’s never overworked,” he says. “Her style is so clean. That is the word I come to most often in describing her style. It is so clean, so pristine.” Like her two previous books, this one is fueled by the vexations of intimate relationships. “Ultimately, if you’re a Sally Rooney fan, I think you’ll love this novel,” Taylor says. “And if you’re a Sally Rooney skeptic, I think she will acknowledge your concerns but maybe not answer them in full.” Another Rooney, David Rooney, visits the podcast to discuss his new book, [“About Time: A History of Civilization in Twelve Clocks.”] (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/17/books/review/a-brief-history-of-motion-tom-standage-about-time-david-rooney.html) “There’s something about clocks and watches,” he says.” They have more meaning to many people than other artifacts. I wasn’t quite sure why. I was trying to get behind the faces of clocks and watches, to understand not so much how they work — although that’s fascinating — but what they mean, and what they’ve always meant, through history, across cultures.” Also on this week’s episode, Tina Jordan looks back at Book Review history as it celebrates its 125th anniversary; Alexandra Alter has news from the publishing world; and Jennifer Szalai and John Williams talk about books that have been recently reviewed. Pamela Paul is the host. Here are the books discussed by the Times’s critics this week: [“The Failed Promise”] (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/30/books/review-failed-promise-reconstruction-frederick-douglass-andrew-johnson-robert-levine.html) by Robert S. Levine [“The War for Gloria”] (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/23/books/review-war-for-gloria-atticus-lish.html) by Atticus Lish [“The Magician”] (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/31/books/review-magician-colm-toibin.html) by Colm Toibin ...

Deadline City's Podcast

Latest: 3 months ago

Welcome to Deadline City: a podcast and a destination. We are two New York City-based authors who share an office and work on multiple books at a time. Between us, we have 40 books published and under contract, and we’re just getting started. If you’ve seen us on the road, you know how we cut up. We like to have fun and talk about the one thing that is always on our minds: creating books. Publishing is a big scary world to many of us, and our goal is to pull back the curtain on some of the mystery by simply talking about it. In our first season, we want to dig into subjects like YA fiction, editing, reading reviews, burnout. Most of the time, you publish a book and then you’re at a loss for what comes next. How do you navigate the industry and then still manage to write more books? That’s a journey we’re on and know that so many others are on the same road. We hope you come along for the ride.

#152 - Author Chat w/ Michelle Quach

On this episode, we chat with debut author Michelle Quach about her upcoming YA novel Not Here To Be Liked, an enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy about Eliza, who's dreams of becoming the Editor-in-Chief of her high school newspaper gets crushed when the more popular (and less qualified) Lem gets the position instead. In her anger she pens a manifesto that accidentally gets published online and Eliza inadvertently becomes the leader of a feminist movement at school.  It's a delicious mess and we had a lot of fun chatting with Michelle about her inspirations and journey as an author.
