Robert A. Heinlein Book Club: Episode 99: I Will Fear...

American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time) ·

2024/09/30

Part 1 of 4 of my review of I WILL FEAR NO EVIL by Robert A. Heinlein. I wonder how other recent readers of this book look back on it. Obviously the novel deals with gender in sexuality in transgressive ways, but it also seems very old fashioned in its approach.

American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time) ·

2024/08/21

Part 1 of 3 of my review of THE MOON IS A HARSH MISTRESS, one of Heinlein's most famous and well-regarded books. Often billed a libertarian novel, is it better to look at it as anti-colonial? Can it be both?

American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time) ·

2024/07/25

The second part of my review of FARNHAM'S FREEHOLD by Robert A. Heinlein. I really struggled with this book, but think it reveals the fundamental problem with Heinlein's relationship with the American past.

Robert A. Heinlein Book Club: Episode 94: Farnham's...

American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time) ·

2024/07/22

I talk a bit about GLORY ROAD to finish up my thoughts on that novel, but I have decided to move onto Heinlein's FARNHAM'S FREEDHOLD. Is it his worst novel? Maybe not, but it is sure is trying hard. We will see what the second half gives us.

Robert A. Heinlein Book Club: Episode 93: Glory Road...

American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time) ·

2024/07/07

I had hoped to talk about the first half of GLORY ROAD by Robert A. Heinlein, but I ended up talking about most of the events of the book. It is definitely one that needs to be unpacked for some of the larger discussions we are having about Heinlein.

American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time) ·

Robert A. Heinlein Book Club: Episode 92: Podkayne of...

American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time) ·

2024/06/20

In this episode I take a quick look at the excellent short novel by Robert A. Heinlein PODKAYNE OF MARS. It is one of my favorite Heinlein novels I have read and it really seems Heinlein can write young characters well, just not young men.

Episode 654: James Baldwin: Another Country (2)

American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time) ·

2024/06/13

Part two of my review of ANOTHER COUNTRY by James Baldwin. For a novel that is just exploring transgressive romantic relationships (and some square relationships too), it is an enthralling journey.

Robert A. Heinlein Book Club: Episode 91: Searchlight

American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time) ·

2024/06/13

This teeny tiny short story by Robert A. Heinlein also seems to be the last short story we will look at in this series. From here on out it will be wild novels. But this is a nice story to end with.

American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time) ·

2024/06/09

This episode is part one of my four part review of ANOTHER COUNTRY by James Baldwin, a novel about race, sex, and art set in Greenwich Village. It is excellent.

American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time) ·

2024/06/05

Sorry for the delay in uploads. ANOTHER COUNTRY and work has been keeping me busier than I thought.But here is the conclusion to my review of STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND by Robert A. Heinlein. One thing I never really talked much about in the review is cannibalism, but that is just a symptom of how much this book has to talk about.

American Writers (One Hundred Pages at a Time) ·

2024/05/30
