Get your bookworm on with a rotating roster of, um, bookworms. Including Jenna Todd & Suri Reddy from Time Out Bookstore, bringing us a different book to talk about each week.
Time Out bookstore's youngest employee, Eli, takes us through his personal books-on-the-go and his review of New Zealand bibliopole Gareth Ward's young adult steampunk mystery, The Traitor and the Thief.
Kiran Dass from Unity Books reviews music journalist Sylvia Patterson's account of her life and encounters with musicians in her book I'm Not With the Band: A Writer's Life Lost in Music.
Kiran talks to Mikey about Uniform, a limited-run zine (only 30 handmade copies!) made by a collective of Auckland multi-disciplinary female creators. Having contributed herself, Kiran gives Mikey some insight as to what the lucky 30 owners can expect.
Jenna talks to Mikey about Clare Nina Norelli's contribution to the 33 1/3 album exploration series, Angelo Badalamenti's Soundtrack from Twin Peaks. A frequent collaborator with Twin Peaks director David Lynch, Badalamenti's soundtrack became a cult favourite in its own right. Does Norelli's deep dive offer new insight or overwhelm with technical jargon?
Kiran talks to Mikey about Solar Bones, Irish writer Mike McCormack's third novel and longlist selection for the 2017 Man Booker Prize. Sitting outside of standard modes of punctuation, what did Kiran make of McCormack's poetic, ghost-led narrative?
Jenna talks to Mikey about Sour Heart, the debut collection of stories from American writer and poet Jenny Zhang. A favourite of the omnipresent Lena Dunham, Zhang's stories speak to the experiences of Chinese American female adolescence in New York City. But do Lena and Jenna agree?
Kiran talks to Mikey about The New Animals, Pip Adam’s new novel that walks the streets of Auckland City present, examining the fashion scene, intergenerational tension and modern life with an unflinching eye.
Jenna talks to Mikey about The 7th Function of Language, the new 'fictional non-fiction' by French author Laurent Binet. A dense, reference packed historical thriller regarding the death-by-laundry-van of semiotics master Roland Barthes, Jenna asks whether it's possible to still enjoy a book on a shallower 'level of the onion'.
