DrakeHOST
And so when I get on this podcast, now it's an opportunity for me to be just courageous and allow God to tie it together.
DrakeHOST
I also have this quote from Andre Gide, who knows if I'm saying that right, but I think this represents interference in a beautiful way.
DrakeHOST
If you remember inner game of tennis performance equals potential minus interference.
DrakeHOST
he says art is a collaboration between god and the artist and the less the artist does the better hear that again art is a collaboration between god and the artist and the less the artist does the better and so today's podcast i want to talk about paying attention and why that is the mental game i have shared it on the podcast before but my entire journey in the mental game was structure structure structure i'm going to be organized i'm going to be dialed i literally remember when i first started sip I made a post and I think if you even read the description of this podcast, I've never changed it.

The head of that counterfeiting ring, for instance.
Catherine EastmanNARRATOR
Where had he got the idea of picking an alias like Andre Gide? Clutching at his whirling thoughts, Malone opened his eyes, winced, and began to get dressed.
Catherine EastmanNARRATOR
At least, he thought it was going to be a peaceful day.
Catherine EastmanNARRATOR
It was at this second that his private intercom buzzed.

Kate KirkpatrickGUEST
And in Les Temps Modernes, the idea was to promote something called committed literature.
Kate KirkpatrickGUEST
So he was rejecting the idea of art for art's sake that informed André Gide's La Nouvelle Revue Française.
Kate KirkpatrickGUEST
So this was a journal that was considered collaborationist.
Kate KirkpatrickGUEST
And Les Temps Modernes was taking a particular view on what literature should do.
A. EliotNARRATOR
I had written in The Soul of Man that he who would lead a Christ-like life must be entirely and absolutely himself, and had taken as my types not merely the shepherd on the hillside and the prisoner in his cell, but also the painter to whom the world is a pageant, and the poet for whom the world is a song.
A. EliotNARRATOR
I remember saying once to André Gide, as we sat together in some Paris café, that while metaphysics had but little real interest for me, and morality absolutely none, there was nothing that either Plato or Christ had said that could not be transferred immediately into the sphere of art and there find its complete fulfillment.
A. EliotNARRATOR
nor is it merely that we can discern in christ that close union of personality with perfection which forms the real distinction between the classical and romantic movement in life but the very basis of his nature was the same as that of the nature of the artist and intense and flame-like imagination He realized in the entire sphere of human relations that imaginative sympathy, which in the sphere of art is the sole secret of creation.
A. EliotNARRATOR
He understood the leprosy of the leper, the darkness of the blind, the fierce misery of those who live for pleasure, the strange poverty of the rich.
Piers TordayGUEST
And I thought, I'm sure if you wrote that book today for today's children, emotionally intelligent children, the way people are taught in more empathetic, thoughtful, sensitive ways, there would be an expectation we would at least talk about the war to sort of reverse Basil Fawlty.
Piers TordayGUEST
And I just thought, God, I'd love to do a sort of tribute to this book that's meant so much to me, but spin it on its head a bit and go, what if we had four children who entered the fantasy world, but they couldn't fully leave the Second World War and the thing that brought it behind? And would that fantasy world help them deal with those feelings as children? So that was the starting

point.
Pie CorbettHOST
One of the things I noticed is because, weirdly, I've just been doing something very similar.
40 MINS LATER
Pie CorbettHOST
It was cool to go to the theatre.
Pie CorbettHOST
It's cool to know about artists.
Pie CorbettHOST
It was cool to sit around and airily discuss Gide and goodness knows what.
Pie CorbettHOST
And it gave me such pleasure, such huge pleasure.
Marlon JamesGUEST
It may have been, I'm going to get this wrong.
Marlon JamesGUEST
So I'm going to say it might have been Edmund White or Andre Gide, or maybe Edward White talking about Andre Gide.
Marlon JamesGUEST
And it was talking about Hemingway and the much lauded Hemingway prose, the much lauded Hemingway economy.
Marlon JamesGUEST
And so one of the reasons why Hemingway could do that is that Hemingway could take it for granted that we live in his world.
Lita AlbuquerqueGUEST
this incredible village famous for its blue.
Lita AlbuquerqueGUEST
It's white and blue where all people like Gide, Camus, even Matisse, all the people would come in the 50s.
Lita AlbuquerqueGUEST
So not that I was aware of that at that time, but it seeped into me.
Lita AlbuquerqueGUEST
So, yes.
speaker_0HOST
This is another vital part of the toolkit.
speaker_0HOST
The book is in constant echoing conversation with writers like Jean Genet, André Gide, Gore Vidal, Oscar Wilde, James Baldwin, Andrew Halloran, a massive lineage.
speaker_1HOST
And even Christopher Marlowe's Edward II in Shakespeare.

But let's dig into the how of that literary canon, specifically with the character of Jordan.
Rob MarlandNARRATOR
He must be most interesting.
Rob MarlandNARRATOR
Andre Gide's book fails to fascinate me.
Rob MarlandNARRATOR
The egoistic note is, of course, and always has been to me, the primal and ultimate of note of modern art.
Rob MarlandNARRATOR
But to be an egoist, one must have an ego.
