Book Slam Podcast 66 (with Gary Shteyngart, Jake Isaac, Sheila Heti and Nikesh Shukla)

Book Slam's 66th Podcast marks something of a return to form with lots of clever people reading clever stuff in a clever, but nonetheless engaging, fashion, which nods coyly in the direction of postmodernism before sensibly leaving on the arm of narrative. Quite. The clever include SHEILA HETI , reading from and discussing ' How Should A Person Be ', GARY SHTEYNGART , reading from and discussing ' Little Failure ', and our dear friend NIKESH SHUKLA , an arse so smart that he provokes in most an involuntary tug of the forelock. Have you read his new novel ' Meatspace ' yet? You really should. There's also great music from JAKE ISAAC . Patrick and Elliott are not clever. Some people think they just play thick from some misplaced desire to fit into to an increasingly asinine world. These people are wrong.
