Read any good books since your last update about your recent reading?

Yes, although I forget when I last shared the books I've been reading, so hopefully I don't repeat anything.

I know that I've repeated this book because I've mentioned it several times over the past couple of weeks, but I can't help but remind everyone again about Steve Coll's excellent new book, The Achilles Trap: Saddam Hussein, the C.I.A., and the Origins of America's Invasion of Iraq (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO). It's definitely the best book I've read so far this year, and it's one of the better books I've read in the past 10 years.

Other recent books that I've read and would recommend checking out:

•Radiant: The Life and Line of Keith Haring (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by Brad Gooch

•The Far Land: 200 Years of Murder, Mania, and Mutiny in the South Pacific (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by Brandon Presser

•UFO: The Inside Story of the U.S. Government's Search for Alien Life Here -- and Out There (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by Garrett M. Graff Garrett Graff has quickly become one of those authors who I go out of my way to immediately pick up his latest books because he's so well-connected and I ALWAYS learn fascinating things from his books. I don't know if there's a writer/journalist today who has better access to the American defense establishment or proven to be more capable of shining a light on many of the most secretive aspects of the United States government.

•"Uncool and Incorrect" in Chile: The Nixon Administration and the Downfall of Salvador Allende (BOOK | KINDLE) by Stephen M. Streeter

•Life After Power: Seven Presidents and Their Search for Purpose Beyond the White House (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by Jared Cohen

•The Liberation of Paris: How Eisenhower, de Gaulle, and von Choltitz Saved the City of Light (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by Jean Edward Smith

•Unruly: The Ridiculous History of England's Kings and Queens (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by David Mitchell

•The Rise and Fall of a Palestinian Dynasty: The Husaynis, 1700-1948 (BOOK) by Ilan Pappe

•In the Houses of Their Dead: The Lincolns, the Booths, and the Spirits (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by Terry Alford

•Kingdoms of Faith: A New History of Islamic Spain (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by Brian A. Catlos

•Borgata: Rise of Empire: A History of the American Mafia, Volume 1 of the Borgata Trilogy (BOOK | KINDLE) by Louis Ferrante

•Soldier of Destiny: Slavery, Secession, and the Redemption of Ulysses S. Grant (BOOK | KINDLE) by John Reeves

•His Final Battle: The Last Months of Franklin Roosevelt (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by Joseph Lelyveld

what are your favorite authors? and which ones you would consider the essentials for anyone interested in start writing?

my favorite authors are, in no particular order but rather how important they have been to my writing:

gillian flynn. all her books play so expertly with genre, unreliable narrator and tapping into generational and contemporary anxieties. she's got such a subtle hand as she arranges everything into position, and a really pleasant writing style.

mieko kawakami. i just love everything about how she writes loneliness, alienation and lingering in the moments of the day.

sayaka murata. she's soooo. god. i love her short stories. i hope more get translated soon.

constance debré, éduoard louis, annie ernaux. i clump these three together because they're approaching class and short terse non-fiction from different angles but all do it in really riveting ways.

tamsyn muir. because it's just a wild fun ride. like. it's a treat to read her books. she made me feel less hung-up about perfect worldbuilding.

also, no less honorable mentions: sally rooney, elena ferrante, carmen maria machado, arkady martine, louise glück.

as for essentials, that's a hard one. i'm a firm believer in building your own personal canon of "books that make me wanna write/writers whose style i want to subliminate into my own", but i'm also a genuine lover of creative writing books, so a short list of those would be:

imaginative writing, janet burroway. (writing to me is so much about a practice, exercises, warm-ups, and burroway really digs into that.) writing down the bones, natalie goldberg. (classic. though i don't turn to this a lot anymore it's still a staple.) reading like a writer, francine prose. (can't be a writer without reading and prose breaks down the way of reading very well.) refuse to be done, matt bell. (bit of a step up. how to write a novel in three drafts, essentially. genuinely the most helpful one i've read in years, i've leaned on it so much for finishing my novel.) and this is more later-stage, but it's also a good reality check for anyone wanting to go professional: before and after the book deal, courtney maum.

#ask meadows anything #lately i've mostly been reading editing books and more of the latter end of how to finish things #so sometimes i feel a bit out of touch with inspirational starters #the best advice is as always to find a creative writing circle or workshop for beginners #it makes a massive inspirational difference #that said i also know how intimidating those are so i'm always pro experimenting and playing at home #AND JOURNALING #journaling is such a good habit for writing in general #look up morning pages and try those out too #automatic writing is like the savior of my writing

What do you think Louis's favorite book is? His favorite movie?

Amazing question. I think he loves James Baldwin for sure but he would think choosing one of his books as his fave is too obvious and he likes to be mysterious. And I think he lovesss the Brontes but he wouldn't choose Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights as his favorite cause he's a bit pretentious but maybe Vilette or The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Modern Louis I believe would like Elena Ferrante's Days of Abandonment as well as Bryan Washington's Lot and Ocean Vuong's On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous. I think he'd also brag about how he read Pale Fire and totally understood it 100%. He hates A Little Life and Call Me By Your Name!

As for movies, I have to agree that show Louis probably also loves La Belle et La Bete. I think he'd also like Imitation of Life cause of the complex mother/daughter storylines. He'd also like Volver for similar reasons. He definitely cheered when Moonlight won over La La Land. I think he also likes If Beale Street Could Talk, The Handmaiden, Aftersun, Jackie Brown and The Souvenir. AND PHANTOM THREAD.

#im just naming things i like but i do think he'd like them too #asks

can you explain the odyssey of recollection? is it like louis forgetting details because of how long hes been alive?

i think for louis it is partially how long he’s been alive, but overall i think it refers to just how inconstant or unreliable memory is. for daniel & louis, their life stories are constructions they make for themselves & they will always be skewed to their perspective. whether it be from over-telling/trying to make a story full of complexities into one coherent tale, repression/trauma, drug addiction (for daniel at least), or simply time passing, no matter how hard they try to be objective & truthful, life stories will always fail. there is a truth in this recollection, but the truth is totally subjective. here are some relevant quotes that make me a bit insane!!

—Sylvie Baumgartel

—Elena Ferrante

—Sarah Manguso

Podcast #958: An Insider’s Guide to the Rise of the American Mafia

You’re probably familiar with the American mafia, at least through its portrayal in popular culture. But how did this infamous secret society come to be? Louis Ferrante traces its origins in the first volume of his slated trilogy on the subject, entitled Borgata: Rise of Empire: A History of the American Mafia. While there’s been plenty written on the mafia, Ferrante, who was incarcerated for being a mobster himself, offers the first insider’s history of this crime organization. Today on the show, he shares the surprising influences on the formation of the mafia in Sicily, why Louisiana and not New York was actually the mob’s American Plymouth Rock, the unexpected collaboration between the government and the mafia during WWII, the real reason J. Edgar Hoover didn’t go after the mob, why that hands-off approach changed, and much more.

___________________________________________

🇫🇷🗣️Description du Domaine 🇫🇷🗣️

Proche de la Réole, tapi près d'un bosquet d'arbres séculaires, le Château Le Luc Régula domine la Garonne. Il couvre 11 hectares situés principalement sur un large plateau ensoleillé, au coeur du vignoble bordelais.En succombant au charme paisible du château du XVIIIème siècle et son parc aux essences séculaires, nous avons entamé un nouveau et passionnant voyage, en rétablissant, dans sa vocation initiale, un château avec une très ancienne tradition viticole.

S’il est des lieux à proximité desquels on passe et repasse sans soupçonner qu’ils abritent des trésors, assurément Le Luc est de ceux-là.Son histoire viticole remonte au moins au XIIIème siècle. On trouve en effet trace d’une ordonnance royale de 1289 (l’Aquitaine était alors Anglaise, la culture de la vigne Entre-Deux-Mers et le commerce du vin, alors important) commandant une enquête suite à une plainte déposée par des habitants « parce que le châtelain dépréciait le vin qu’il vendait ».On le voit, la dénonciation du mal-boire, tellement à la mode en notre époque de remise en cause de nos méthodes de consommation alimentaire, n’est pas née d’hier !

Jusqu’au début du XXème siècle, le château est resté aux mains d’une même lignée issue de Jean de Ferrant, qui, en 1446, obtint par faveur féodale la jouissance des droits de péage par terre et par eau.

On trouve dans la succession des nobles possesseurs du lieu : Jean d’Orgier, seigneur du Luc, chevalier de l’Ordre de Malte décédé en 1698 à l’âge de 96 ans, Jean de Ferrant de la Tour mort en 1732 à l’âge de 96 ans, Pierre Paul Berry de Beauvallon, chevalier de l’ordre militaire de Saint-Louis, Jacques de Banisette de Beaubrun, seigneur de la noble maison de Graves marié en 1777 à Anne, fille de Jean-Baptiste de Casmont, seigneur des nobles maisons du Cros, du Luc, de la Tour et du château des Gravous, « la bénédiction nuptiale étant donnée en la chapelle du Château du Luc ».

Le château Le Luc Regula constitue aujourd’hui un superbe vignoble de 5.5 hectares, orienté au Sud-Ouest, « cap 210 », la meilleure orientation pour le mûrissement du raisin.

🇬🇧🗣️Domain Description 🇬🇧🗣️

Close to Réole, lurking near a grove of centuries-old trees, Château Le Luc Régula overlooks the Garonne. It covers 11 hectares located mainly on a large sunny plateau, in the heart of the Bordeaux vineyards. By succumbing to the peaceful charm of the 18th century castle and its park with centuries-old species, we began a new and exciting journey, restoring its vocation initial, a castle with a very old wine-growing tradition.

If there are places near which we pass and return without suspecting that they house treasures, Le Luc is certainly one of them. Its wine-growing history dates back at least to the 13th century. We indeed find traces of a royal order from 1289 (Aquitaine was then English, the cultivation of vines Entre-Deux-Mers and the wine trade, then important) ordering an investigation following a complaint filed by inhabitants "because the squire depreciated the wine he sold." As we can see, the denunciation of bad drinking, so fashionable in our era of questioning our methods of food consumption, was not born from yesterday !

Until the beginning of the 20th century, the castle remained in the hands of the same lineage descended from Jean de Ferrant, who, in 1446, obtained by feudal favor the enjoyment of toll rights by land and water.

We find in the succession of the noble owners of the place: Jean d'Orgier, lord of Luc, knight of the Order of Malta who died in 1698 at the age of 96, Jean de Ferrant de la Tour who died in 1732 at age 96, Pierre Paul Berry de Beauvallon, knight of the military order of Saint-Louis, Jacques de Banisette de Beaubrun, lord of the noble house of Graves married in 1777 to Anne, daughter of Jean-Baptiste de Casmont, lord of the noble houses of Cros, Luc, Tour and the Château des Gravous, “the nuptial blessing being given in the chapel of the Château du Luc”. Château Le Luc Regula today constitutes a superb 5.5 hectare vineyard, facing South-West, “cap 210”, the best orientation for the ripening of the grapes.

Mi è piaciuta molto questa annata che unisce generosità, potenza e fruttato al palato. Un Bordeaux di facile beva che consiglio. Un vino che può migliorare dai 5 ai 10 anni in cantina.

🗣️🇮🇹Descrizione i Dominio 🗣️🇮🇹

Vicino a Réole, nascosto nei pressi di un boschetto di alberi secolari, il castello Le Luc Régula domina la Garonna. Si estende per 11 ettari situati prevalentemente su un ampio altopiano soleggiato, nel cuore dei vigneti bordolesi.Cedendo al fascino pacifico del castello del XVIII secolo e del suo parco con specie secolari, abbiamo iniziato un nuovo ed entusiasmante viaggio, ripristinando il suo vocazione iniziale, un castello dalla antichissima tradizione vitivinicola.

Se ci sono luoghi nei pressi dei quali passiamo e torniamo senza sospettare che custodiscano dei tesori, Le Luc è sicuramente uno di questi, la cui storia vitivinicola risale almeno al XIII secolo. Troviamo infatti tracce di un ordine reale del 1289 (l'Aquitania era allora inglese, la coltivazione della vite Entre-Deux-Mers e il commercio del vino, allora importante) che ordinava un'inchiesta a seguito di una denuncia presentata dagli abitanti "perché il signorotto svalutava il vino che venduto." Come possiamo vedere, la denuncia del cattivo bere, tanto di moda nella nostra epoca che mette in discussione le nostre modalità di consumo alimentare, non è nata da ieri!

Fino all'inizio del XX secolo il castello rimase nelle mani della stessa casata discendente da Jean de Ferrant, che, nel 1446, ottenne per favore feudale il godimento dei diritti di pedaggio su terra e acqua.

Troviamo nella successione dei nobili proprietari del luogo: Jean d'Orgier, signore di Luc, cavaliere dell'Ordine di Malta morto nel 1698 all'età di 96 anni, Jean de Ferrant de la Tour morto nel 1732 all'età di 96 anni 96, Pierre Paul Berry de Beauvallon, cavaliere dell'ordine militare di Saint-Louis, Jacques de Banisette de Beaubrun, signore della nobile casata di Graves sposato nel 1777 con Anne, figlia di Jean-Baptiste de Casmont, signore delle nobili case di Cros, Luc, Tour e del Château des Gravous, “la benedizione nuziale impartita nella cappella del Château du Luc”.

Château Le Luc Regula costituisce oggi uno splendido vigneto di 5,5 ettari, esposto a sud-ovest, “cap 210”, il miglior orientamento per la maturazione delle uve.

William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury (or Absalom, Absalom, but that was a reread)

Elena Ferrante, The Story of the Lost Child

Lorrie Moore, Who Will Run the Frog Hospital?

Édouard Louis, History of Violence (very autofictional but I think technically a novel?)
