They discuss historical bodies, sex, the epistemology of touch, sex, and what memory does to the remembering subject. And sex. They consider Nadas&#39; novel in relation to the work Federici, Musil, Mann, Elaine Scarry, and Proust, among others.</p><p><br></p><p>A note on the readings: Lauren and Art make several references to a passage Lauren read at the beginning of the conversation. We&#39;ve cut the reading itself having been warned that nobody watches videos that open with one. (Your feedback is welcome!) Later in the episode, they read a different passage to give a taste of the novel&#39;s distinctive style. Many thanks to the wonderful Lauren Oyler, Emmet White, Justin Young, and the whole team at The Whistleblower.</p><p><br></p><p>Title song: &#39;Harry Clarke&#39; by Clara Tracey - https://open.spotify.com/album/3laGIMZUEhM0sYvICIgDge</p>","author_name":"Art O'Connor"}
