The Audio Book Club on This Beautiful Life

Enjoy.. our latest podcast...
Slate editors Emily Bazelon, Josh Levin, and Hanna Rosin discuss Helen Schulman’s new novel, This Beautiful Life, about a viral video which ruins the life of two teenagers at a posh New York City prep school. The novel, set in 2003, explores the still urgent question of what happens when teenagers, with all their impulsive, clueless tendencies, have such free access to technology. Teenager Jake Bergamot forwards to a friend an amateur pornlike video that 13-year-old Daisy Cavanaugh made for him, and the aftermath effectively wrecks his family. Bazelon, an expert on teens and technology, is convinced the novel is faithful to how such events would unfold. Levin is moved by the voice of young Jake and his teenage friends, and Rosin is much less moved by the Bergamot family’s eventual breakup.

The Submission: The Slate Audio Book Club

latest production... enjoy
In this month's Audio Book Club, Yale art historian and architect Kishwar Rizvi joins Emily Bazelon and Hanna Rosin to talk about Amy Waldman's masterfully constructed novel about the legacy of 9/11. The book opens with this surprise: The jury that is selecting a design for a 9/11 memorial at Ground Zero opens the envelope with the winning architect's name—and discovers that he is Mohammed Khan, a Muslim. How deep does Waldman go with her ripped-from-the-headlines premise? Is Khan's garden design for the memorial inherently Islamic? What obligation does an artist commissioned for such a project have to explain the source of his inspiration?
