Wound and Stab

Author: New To You Show

Teylor Smirl and John Holt ask you to read along as they explore books that challenge. We align our thinking with Kafka when he said "I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for?" Tune-in each week for a lively discussion of books followed by conversation with guests from all backgrounds who share their experiences and enrich the reading. woundandstab.substack.com

House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski Part Twelve: Exhibits & Appendices The Work The tidbits and annotation that the text has referred to and which give more texture to the work. Our question this week: When you make a mental picture of a place, a character, or a phenomena in a book how do you react when those elements are visualized by someone in an adaptation? The Guest Media critic John Teti, formerly of the A.V. Club joins us as we conclude our interviews for House of Leaves. We discuss interactivity and storytelling. You can follow John on twitter @johnteti. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit woundandstab.substack.com
