  • Loving it but also postponing it!

    It is so nice to hear Dua Lipa discussing literature and life. It’s deep, intellectual, human. However, I want to read the books, so, I usually hear the beginning of the podcast and then move on to something else. Dua, I’m sorry! I just can’t keep up with the reading, but I’m working on it.

  • Intelligent, well researched and a welcome change!

    I randomly came across this gem of a podcast. Dua is a very thoughtful, knowledgeable and insightful interviewer who has introduced me to a range of books I’d never considered reading before. Thanks very much to Dua and the team!

  • Great discussions

    This is an exceptionally good book podcast. Dua is so obviously passionate about literature and reading, and smart and thoughtful with her conversations with really prominent and interesting authors. I always look forward to new episodes and think about picking up books that I wouldn’t normally come across or consider.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

White Teeth: Zadie Smith On London Life & Growing Up Between Cultures
Q: I guess, where do you think we are compared to the 80s and 90s, and what kind of London do you think we have today in comparison?
Smith says the earlier period's functioning welfare system, subsidized housing, free education and healthcare made cultural differences less existential. Today, worsening economic conditions and weakened services heighten insecurity and divisions. She argues for recovering valuable parts of social democracy without romanticizing past prejudice.
White Teeth: Zadie Smith On London Life & Growing Up Between Cultures
Q: So why did you say yes to this event?
Smith wanted to reread the novel for the conversation but only managed to read portions. She found it moving to recognize how consistent her preoccupations had remained, although revisiting the book was initially embarrassing and made her feel slightly nauseous.
From The Archives: Before ‘American Hagwon’, Min Jin Lee On ‘Pachinko’
Q: To what extent were you consciously trying to expose this issue to your readers?
Lee says she focused on the specific lives of Koreans in Japan, rather than trying to write about other countries, while finding that readers elsewhere recognized universal themes of injustice in the story.
From The Archives: Before ‘American Hagwon’, Min Jin Lee On ‘Pachinko’
Q: Can you talk a little bit about the technique you used to construct the novel and why?
Lee says the three-part structure helped trace where a family begins before showing where its members end up, reflecting the questions of origin and identity faced by people in a diaspora.
The Questions Only Writers Would Ask, Answered By Kazuo Ishiguro
Q: How do you remain creatively free and avoid reproducing your own work?
Ishiguro says writers can return to their deepest thematic preoccupations while changing genres, settings and periods to gain new tools, and should sometimes let go of approaches that made them successful.
