Latest Burning Books - The German Mujahid – Boualem Sansal

[Litopian]

Pleased to give fellow Litopians the first glimpse of a brand new Burning Books show by Litopia Literatus Eric Beck Rubin. A brief description follows... Here is a link to the show page & player. Please feel free to discuss the show below.

A history of one aspect of the Nazi genocide is brought to present day Parisian suburbs via a massacre in an Algerian village. Extremism, integration, ghettos, religion – all the elements are refashioned to their new context. A memorably good book by an excellent writer and thinker. Fresh.

From recent débuts to classics, fiction to non-fiction, memoirs, philosophy, science, history and journalism, Burning Books separates the smoking from the singeworthy, looking at the pleasures (and pains) of reading, the craft of writing, the ideas that are at the heart of great novels as well as novels that try to be great, but don’t quite make it.

The podcast feed (rss feed) was actually published in advance of the show being released – this made the link result in a error. The show’s up now, and the link works. Thanks for pointing this out
