SUMMARY:Damon Krukowski
DESCRIPTION:discussing the subject of his new book \n  \n \nWays of Hearing \nby Damon Krukowski \nforward by Emily Thompson \npublished by MIT Press \n\nA writer-musician examines how the switch from analog to digital audio is changing our perceptions of time\, space\, love\, money\, and power. \nOur voices carry farther than ever before\, thanks to digital media. But how are they being heard? In this book\, Damon Krukowski examines how the switch from analog to digital audio is changing our perceptions of time\, space\, love\, money\, and power. In Ways of Hearing—modeled on Ways of Seeing\, John Berger’s influential 1972 book on visual culture—Krukowski offers readers a set of tools for critical listening in the digital age. Just as Ways of Seeing began as a BBC television series\, Ways of Hearing is based on a six-part podcast produced for the groundbreaking public radio podcast network Radiotopia. Inventive uses of text and design help bring the message beyond the range of earbuds. \nEach chapter of Ways of Hearing explores a different aspect of listening in the digital age: time\, space\, love\, money\, and power. Digital time\, for example\, is designed for machines. When we trade broadcast for podcast\, or analog for digital in the recording studio\, we give up the opportunity to perceive time together through our media. On the street\, we experience public space privately\, as our headphones allow us to avoid “ear contact” with the city. Heard on a cell phone\, our loved ones’ voices are compressed\, stripped of context by digital technology. Music has been dematerialized\, no longer an object to be bought and sold. With recommendation algorithms and playlists\, digital corporations have created a media universe that adapts to us\, eliminating the pleasures of brick-and-mortar browsing. Krukowski lays out a choice: do we want a world enriched by the messiness of noise\, or one that strives toward the purity of signal only? \nDamon Krukowski is a writer and musician. Author of The New Analog: Listening and Reconnecting in a Digital World\, he has taught writing and sound (and writing about sound) at Harvard University. He was in the indie rock band Galaxie 500 and is currently one half of the folk-rock duo Damon & Naomi. He lives in Cambridge\, Massachusetts. \nVisit Damon’s website: http://www.dadadrummer.com/ \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Lydia Fitzpatrick
DESCRIPTION:Lydia Fitzpatrick discusses her debut novel\, Lights All Night Long. \n\nPraise for Lights All Night Long \n“Lights All Night Long is as delicious as it is dazzling—a mystery I was tempted to read in one sitting as well as a startling\, clear-eyed exploration of what holds us together\, regardless of location or distance. Brilliantly conceived and exquisitely observed\, Lydia Fitzpatrick’s debut shines as brightly as its title.”—Chloe Benjamin\, author of The Immortalists \n“For readers drawn to literary thrills\, Lights All Night Long offers drugs\, sex\, and murder\, but this supple\, sparkling novel is really about tender souls navigating unfamiliar terrain and human bonds warm enough to thaw snowbanks. The indecipherable language of loss\, love\, and longing is normally impossible to understand. At last\, thankfully\, we have Lydia Fitzpatrick to interpret it.”—Adam Johnson\, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for The Orphan Master’s Son \n“Lights All Night Long is utterly brilliant and completely captivating. Lydia Fitzpatrick writes with cinematic clarity about life on margins of contemporary Russia and America. The result is one of the most propulsive\, un-put-downable literary novels I’ve read in ages.”—Anthony Marra\, author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena \n“This intricate\, capacious\, startlingly inventive novel is so vivid\, and rings so true\, that its characters have taken up permanent residence in my imagination. What an accomplishment.”—R.O. Kwon\, author of The Incendiaries \n“A cross-cultural coming-of-age story that breaks your heart in the best way. Full of tender hopes and hard truths\, Lydia Fitzpatrick’s first novel marks the debut of a gifted storyteller.”—Maggie Shipstead\, author of Seating Arrangements \n  \nAbout Lights All Night Long \nFifteen-year-old Ilya arrives in Louisiana from his native Russia for what should be the adventure of his life: a year in America as an exchange student. The abundance of his new world–the Super Walmarts and heated pools and enormous televisions–is as hard to fathom as the relentless cheerfulness of his host parents. And Sadie\, their beautiful and enigmatic daughter\, has miraculously taken an interest in him. \nBut all is not right in Ilya’s world: he’s consumed by the fate of his older brother Vladimir\, the magnetic rebel to Ilya’s dutiful wunderkind\, back in their tiny Russian hometown. The two have always been close\, spending their days dreaming of escaping to America. But when Ilya was tapped for the exchange\, Vladimir disappeared into their town’s seedy\, drug-plagued underworld. Just before Ilya left\, the murders of three young women rocked the town’s usual calm\, and Vladimir found himself in prison. \nWith the help of Sadie\, who has secrets of her own\, Ilya embarks on a mission to prove Vladimir’s innocence. Piecing together the timeline of the murders and Vladimir’s descent into addiction\, Ilya discovers the radical lengths to which Vladimir has gone to protect him–a truth he could only have learned by leaving him behind. \nA rich tale of belonging and the pull of homes both native and adopted\, Lights All Night Long is a spellbinding story of the fierce bond between brothers determined to find a way back to each other. \n
