Wrote about the return of explicit male desire to literary fiction, via Tony Tulathimutte’s Rejection and the like. Also: the rehabilitation of big-ego male novelists like DFW and Martin Amis, and the Fitzcarraldo-driven turn towards wacky experimentation gq-magazine.co.uk/article/male-l…

I’ll be appearing on My Martin Amis next month to discuss Martin Amis’s unsung masterpiece The Zone of Interest!

“Who are this generation’s hotshot young male novelists, the modern incarnations of the Amis/McEwan/Rushdie crew of the 80s?” Ella Creamer for The Guardian theguardian.com/books/2025/may…

⏰ SET YOUR ALARMS! Tomorrow first thing we drop a NEW EPISODE with Vincenzo Barney, American writer and former live show guest, who has picked 📚 The Zone of Interest📚 as the novel to discuss with Jack Aldane.

Listen to me whip out apposite one-liners such as, "Today, talent is baroque." (The 21st centch has no talent and is thus suspicious of it.) & "Amis was frustrated with the literary limitations of not being Jewish." (These limitations he wholly imagined for himself.)

I love this series and this is possibly the finest episode yet. Who knew people could talk Mart without cliche?

It also reminds me that although my favourite has sadly gone, I have this ❤️

Was reminded what today’s date meant, so re-upping the My Martin Amis live show before it’s too late!

"It was loud and clear on My Martin Amis   — note that title — a podcast series of interviews with some of his followers. Must say, I licked it up. The pop lit crit. The weave of social and personal histories. They still adore Amis — you can’t disavow what you loved as a teenager
