(in looking up this review i have learned an additional fact i did not recall, which is that the reviewer in question was Lev Grossman. delicious irony, seeing the author of the truly insufferable Narnia self-insert fanfic "The Magicians" dare to call Chabon a would-be hack!)

clearest example of this to me was the pearl-clutching response to Michael Chabon's Gentleman of the Road. Time published a review titled "The Genius Who Wanted to Be a Hack". i mean. be for real, now. maybe you're just incapable of appreciating pastiche.

*most* unhinged? okay. the bulk of what is sold as "genre" fiction actually isn't unified by genre but by market. much as i loathe it, this is true of so-called "literary fiction" as well. if we actually categorized books by genre, LeGuin & Rushdie would be on the same shelf.

my suggestion is close to that! i sometimes find that podfic helps me bridge the journey to sleep, especially if it's podfic i've already heard. narrative is compelling enough to occupy my mind, but not so demanding that i can't fall asleep.

Last season of Game Changer, we did a cool activation with LinkedIn in which they helped us give Jacob a prize of $100,000.
This season, I have a similar opportunity for the right brand willing to give us $50,000+ worth of their product.
Hit me up ASAP if you're interested!
