    #118 The Eroticising of HIV: Viral Fantasies - Jaime García-Iglesias

    Jaime García-Iglesias explores the phenomenon of bugchasing from a sociological perspective. And what is bugchasing? According to García-Iglesias, it is the eroticisation of HIV, expressed in many ways: getting pozzed by a detectable giftgiver during bareback sauna sex, masturbating to #poz and #BBBH ('bareback brotherhood') accounts on X, tracing your viral genealogy to Michel Foucault... the possibilities are endless.

  2. Agonist w/Udith Dematagoda

    Agonist w/Udith Dematagoda

    Udith Dematagoda is an academic, novelist, musician, editor at Hyperidean Press, and the reincarnated form of Ned Ludd, who, among other things, published a great novel called Agonist last year.   An actually experimental experimental novel, Agonist is a rendering of posts and videos from around the internet into a strangely coherent whole. It's much funnier and more human than a depiction of the internet-void has any right to be. We also talked about infantilism, internet guys, e-girls, fatherhood, and the later work of Louis Althusser.

    #117 The Futurist Cook Book - Filippo Tomasso Marinetti and Luigi Colombo Fillìa

    Published in 1932, the Futurist Cook Book is part comedy, part manifesto, and all cook book (kind of). Concerned as much with the extra-gustatory as the gustatory aspects of dining, this cook book offers a Futurist, anti-passeist approach to meals, one that embraces the Futurist principles of speed, violence and contempt for women. Most importantly, it identifies and denounces the primary threat to Italian nationalism: pasta. VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION Jack has published a novel called Tower!

    Book Club from Heaven - Echolalia Review w/ Jasper Ceylon

    We've broken our usual upload schedule for a very special Book Club from Heaven episode. Why? Because Echolalia Review, by Jasper Ceylon, is so painfully funny. Jasper has performed an elaborate poetic hoax: over roughly two years, he wrote a series of poems, 47 of which were published in 30 different poetry journals. The thing is, these poems were written to be as ridiculous as possible, then submitted under a series of assumed identities, also completely ridiculous. Echolalia Review is a collection of these poems, as well as explanatory notes describing the state of contemporary poetry. I cannot recommend Echolalia Review highly enough. It's hilarious.

    #116 Solenoid - Mircea Cărtărescu w/ Alexandru Constantin

    Solenoid is a novel by Romanian novelist, essayist and poet Mircea Cărtărescu. A bizarre work of alternate-timeline autobiography, Solenoid is the diary of M.C., and details his attempts to escape from his life through dream magic, hypercube contemplation, scabies-mite transfiguration, solenoid levitation, tuberculosis recuperation, and much, much more. It's a truly dizzying, high-dimensional novel. Here to help me (Jack) talk about Solenoid is professional Romanian Alexandru Constantin of the Black Ibis Social Club on Substack.

    #115 Trump: Modern Shaman: Understanding His Mastery of Influence and Enchantment - Leo Van

    Ed returns for an episode! Leo Van is an engineer-turned-shaman who knows some of Ed and my (Jack's) friends. In this book, published shortly before the 2024 American Presidential election, Van analyses Trump from the perspective of Amazonian shamanism, describing him as an unwitting 'brujo rojo', a practitioner of both black and white magic. I was initially reticent to cover a book that felt too topical, but the shamanic angle sucked me in.
