George FeltensteinGUEST
We've talked about this before.
George FeltensteinGUEST
Auntie Mame was Technorama.
George FeltensteinGUEST
Right.
George FeltensteinGUEST
And this film also shares the same pedigree of having the same director as Auntie Mame.
George FeltensteinGUEST
This looks absolutely magnificent.
George FeltensteinGUEST
And we've created a new Dolby Atmos track to take advantage of the wonderful music in The Music Man.
David Bentley HartGUEST
But I, I honestly think for most people, uh, there's a great deal that the world offers that they deny themselves, um, by becoming obsessive, uh, with regard to, to one kind of discourse.
David Bentley HartGUEST
You know, do, do you know the book Auntie Mame or the film, the one with Rosalind Russell?
Caleb ZakarinHOST
I don't know it.
David Bentley HartGUEST
Wonderfully eccentric Bohemian woman, Auntie Mame, and Rosalind Russell just is a, wa- was a wonderful, uh, comedian.
David Bentley HartGUEST
But anyway, uh, an actress.
David Bentley HartGUEST
And, uh, but, but one of her, you know, her phrase is, "The world is a feast and most poor fools," or whatever it was, "are starving." Uh, she, it's not, or, or, you know, not meaning the poor in the starving part of the world, but rather that people deprive themselves of the riches of life, uh, through narrowness of interest or narrowness of, of ambition or thwarted imagination.
Caleb ZakarinHOST
I'm Caleb Zachran, CEO and publisher of the New Books Network.
Caleb ZakarinHOST
Today, I'm speaking with David Bentley Hart about his book, A Gathering of Leaves: Extravagances and Ephemera, from Notre Dame Press.
Caleb ZakarinHOST
David is a multifaceted scholar who's contributed to the fields of philosophy, religious studies, and baseball, among others.
Caleb ZakarinHOST
The volume we'll be discussing today is a collection of essays mostly originating from his website, Leaves in the Wind.
David Bentley HartGUEST
Well, thanks for having me.
Caleb ZakarinHOST
It's really a, a great honor to get to speak with you.
Caleb ZakarinHOST
Uh, you're, you're one of those writers where, you know, various books that you've written have been recommended to me so many times throughout the years, and it seems like each book that's recommended to me is, is different in many [chuckles] ways.
Caleb ZakarinHOST
Uh, so, so you span a lot of topics, and I always appreciate that.
Greg YoungHOST
And many of them were employed by local waterfront factories and slaughterhouses.
Tom MeyersHOST
Which is quite dramatic, right? I mean, considering that it is located right next to what would become, you know, the extremely fashionable Beekman Place, which of course makes us think of Auntie Mame.
Tom MeyersHOST
But all of that, that glow up doesn't happen until the 1920s.
Tom MeyersHOST
Before that, this area was
Greg YoungHOST
coal yards and dumps.
Greg YoungHOST

Pete the RetailerHOST
Peter Allen.
Pete the RetailerHOST
And so the original premise was, Auntie Mame arriving aboard the Enterprise and taking Worf's son under her wing to bring him out of his shell in her own flimbling it way.
Pete the RetailerHOST
He was skeptical of this idea, but when Peter Allen Field's first draft of the script came in, he was like, oh, wow, this is great.
Pete the RetailerHOST
And then, but they were like, you know what? We need to throw in a, like...
Elizabeth LawrenceGUEST
... and how we would like to dress and how we see our lives.
Elizabeth LawrenceGUEST
And one of the things I talk about in the book is when I was young, the movie Aunt- Aunty Mame, like-
Ariel OkinHOST
Ugh, so good
Elizabeth LawrenceGUEST
... that was, that was huge for me.
