This is the review I've been waiting for:

Join us in "The Hall of the Monkey King"! The trailer for Cosmic Library's season 4—on JOURNEY TO THE WEST—is here. This season, that classic and extremely funny Chinese novel prompts conversations about cinema, about comedy, about Buddhism, about transcendence.

This season in The Cosmic Library, one of the guests won a Pulitzer. And if there's a prize for podcast guest--maybe?--they should all win it. Hear the finale of our Hebrew Bible season w/ @egabbert, @LFeldmanBarrett, Peter Cole, and Joshua Cohen. lithub.com/the-unpronounceab…

Novelist Joshua Cohen—and Talmud—on tomorrow's show, the concluding episode of our Hebrew Bible miniseries: "It doesn't matter what God's opinion is. Once God gave us this book, it was ours to do with as we will."

On this week's show about the endless struggle between familiarity and (often disastrous) novelty, you'll hear the novelist Joshua Cohen explain a kind of interpretation that works with connections and contradictions alike: lithub.com/struggling-with-d… Find it @lithub!

On this week's show, we're thinking about familiarity's continuity with unfamiliarity, daily life's coexistence with disaster, and a struggle between what we know and what we guess. Guests include: @LFeldmanBarrett. lithub.com/struggling-with-d…

Re: Pulp Fiction and the Hebrew Bible: Tarantino's and @SamuelLJackson's Ezekiel 25:17 is famously--for the most part--not from the Book of Ezekiel. It parallels this text from Sonny Chiba's THE BODYGUARD: youtube.com/watch?v=8LYT4JC2…

We're talking about struggle, disaster, and poetry this week in The Cosmic Library. Here's the Auden poem @egabbert discusses: english.emory.edu/classes/pa… And here's the episode (also wherever podcasts are): lithub.com/struggling-with-d…

New episode out now—this week it's on Freud, the death drive, Jacob's dream, and sheaves of wheat! With Joshua Cohen, Peter Cole, and Tom DeRose of @FreudMusLondon. Find it @lithub and wherever you go for podcasts: lithub.com/on-sigmund-freud-…

Many thanks to listeners in Finland:

In the Hebrew Bible, laws can have a poetic, emotional quality. We're figuring it out in our new episode on law, poetry, and feeling, with @LFeldmanBarrett, Tom DeRose, Peter Cole, @egabbert, and Joshua Cohen. It's @lithub + wherever you go for podcasts! lithub.com/rules-rituals-and…

"We regulate each other's nervous system," neuroscientist @LFeldmanBarrett says in our new episode out tomorrow—on connections between law and emotion, in the Bible and beyond. Hear us @lithub, and wherever podcasts are found!

You can read @egabbert on what poetry is in the @nytimesbooks poetry issue, and you can hear her on the subject in the next episode of The Cosmic Library (also in this tweet):

What happens when a book at the base of so much also prompts an uncomfortable kind of reading? Hear about it in this biblical season of @lithub's Cosmic Library podcast, with guests like MacArthur genius Peter Cole: lithub.com/how-the-hebrew-bi…

The Hebrew Bible sets the scene for season 3 of The Cosmic Library, with Joshua Cohen, Peter Cole, @egabbert, @FreudMusLondon's Tom DeRose, and @LFeldmanBarrett. The first episode is out today! link.chtbl.com/KUpvgbfq @LitHub: lithub.com/how-the-hebrew-bi…

Tomorrow: a new season of Cosmic Library premieres, wherever podcasts are found! This season, you'll hear conversations about the Hebrew Bible, including with poet/translator/MacArthur genius Peter Cole:

The Cosmic Library bookshelf: with season 3, the Hebrew Bible joins Finnegans Wake (S1) and 1,001 Nights (S2). (Some favorite translations here: @yasmineseale's translation of the Nights, and Alter's Hebrew Bible.)
