The Infinite Library is for the queens

Buenos Dias, Book Heads! For our summer season, we’re doing a deep dive on Roberto Bolaño’s “2666”! In today’s episode, Ben and I talk about “The Part about the Critics” and “The Part about Amalfitano”. We hope you enjoy! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The Summer Season of the Infinite Library starts this Tuesday with an episode on the first two parts of Roberto Bolaño’s “2666”! Join Ben and John for some unconventional beach reads!

Hi Bookheads, John here. Due to an unexpected personal loss, this week’s episode on Melville’s “The Confidence Man” is going to be late. Ben and I are figuring out the schedule for this ep and the rest of this season, and we’ll share more as soon as we’re able. Semper Books!

We’re mixing things up a bit this week with some non-fiction! We talk Ian Watt’s “Rise of the Novel”, the concept of the “reading public”, and the value of delving into academic literature on today’s episode of The Infinite Library! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The fellas from the Infinite Library Podcast operate on a different level from the rest of us. Can't recommend this podcast enough.

Come away with us to the untamed steppe of Khazaria as we read “Gentlemen of the Road” by Michael Chabon podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Announcing our Spring Semester schedule! We hope you'll join us as we finish out our Michael Chabon readthrough. Also, looking forward to talking Confidence Man. We've got an expert guest lined up for that one.

Merry Christmas, Bookheads. We’re closing out the year with an episode on “The Final Solution” by Michael Chabon. Enjoy and see you next year! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

*sicko voice* yes YES

Enjoyable to see Chabon finally nail his Great American novel after the "shipwrecked" Fountain City. The whole thing is chock full of bravura paragraphs. Also this is perhaps our most riff filled episode to date lol.

We had a blast talking about “The Amazing Adeventures of Kavalier and Clay” with @cacomixpod.bsky.social Enjoy what is our longest (and in my opinion, funniest) episode to date! Part 2 will be out next week, Book Heads! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Pitch: Night mode books. Black page, white ink. Night mode for books

Let's go a step further and follow Alexander Manshel, Laura B. McGrath, and J. D. Porter in characterizing the audiobook as a work not just of audio performance but of intensive, multifaceted, and largely unremunerated literary criticism. lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-...
