Breckyn WoodHOST
We hope you enjoy the conversation.
Andrew BiswellGUEST
And it's the kind of writing that if you're going to get it, you probably need to read it aloud to sort of test the sound of the words.
Andrew BiswellGUEST
And there's a very interesting essay he published in the Times Literary Supplement about this book while he was planning it.
Andrew BiswellGUEST
The title of the essay is Novels are Made of Words.
Andrew BiswellGUEST
Very interesting.
Ruby HartHOST
Late in 1904, she started reviewing for a newspaper called The Guardian, unrelated to the modern newspaper of that name.
Ruby HartHOST
In 1905, she began contributing to the Times Literary Supplement.
Ruby HartHOST
Reviewing required disciplined reading and clear judgments.
Ruby HartHOST
It also offered paid work and a public voice, allowing her to enter literary debate before she had published a novel.
Christopher HitchensSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Take, say, Britain.
Christopher HitchensSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Right now there's interesting debates in the British literary journals, like the Times Literary Supplement, as to whether Britain should finally begin to recognize the genocidal, the word that's used, genocidal character of British colonization hundreds of years ago.
Christopher HitchensSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Should Israel-- Should Britain begin to face it? You know.
Christopher HitchensSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You can ask that question in many places.
Obadiah JonesHOST
Norman combined and misquoted Mann and Mellors much the same way that he appears to have combined and misquoted Tynan and Winner.
Obadiah JonesHOST
I also could not find an original source for Norman's quote about Pepper being, quote, a barometer for our times, supposedly from the Times Literary Supplement.
Obadiah JonesHOST
This does not inspire confidence in his quotations, none of which are cited.
Obadiah JonesHOST
It seems ever more likely that Norman similarly rewrote or exaggerated Tynan's words into the misquote we know today.
Janis ThomasGUEST
And then we had like one thing that wasn't education related.
Janis ThomasGUEST
which is the Times Literary Supplement, which is pretty much like the most highbrow literary publication in the world.
Janis ThomasGUEST
And the biggest issue with Times Literary Supplement was acquisition.
Janis ThomasGUEST
That basically, like, if you read this, you would subscribe and you would stay for ages.
Janis ThomasGUEST
And our biggest cancellation reason was actually death.
Janis ThomasGUEST
was that we would build relationships with people who taught people courses about this stuff.
Janis ThomasGUEST
And basically, we would send them a big stack of subscription leaflets and a poster, and it was wildly successful.
Janis ThomasGUEST
So I had a theory that the only other time apart from retirement that you would have time to read the Times Literary Supplement was when you're a student.
PZ MyersHOST
A Century of Psychotherapy, as I said, by Steve Ion, who's a relatively well-known commentator on issues related to psychology in Germany, but he's done a few others.
PZ MyersHOST
But there's a sentence in the review in the Times Literary Supplement August the 21st of this month this year that is extremely I want to say fructifying it's full of possibilities both negatively and positively and it's really worth our attention if you're in the pastoral ministry or in the attempt of any sort to help someone heal through honest and complete expression of a tragic wound, this sentence will, in my opinion, blow your mind.
PZ MyersHOST
And this is what the reviewer, whose name is Jack Golder, says in the review of Ion's book, Soul Magic, A Century of Psychotherapy.
PZ MyersHOST
Listen up.
PZ MyersHOST
and goes towards certain particular issues, or Gestalt therapy, or I'm okay, you're okay, or all the different forms contemporarily of psychic concern.
PZ MyersHOST
Now we talk about narcissism 24-7. or we talk about boundaries 24-7.
PZ MyersHOST
These are all passing away because it turns out, according to this authoritative book, Auf Deutsch, but now making a full page in the London Times Literary Supplement, the Times Literary Supplement, that, um, statistically almost everybody who does any of these therapies has about the same chance of feeling better the benignity of the schools of thought is basically flatlined it's basically equal there may be some differentials but this means that if you've been doing birth trauma therapy well and you feel better that's good but it's not that different if you were doing long-term psychoanalysis and the common denominator as the reviewer says is the placebo effect of there being a kindly listener in the room.
PZ MyersHOST
Now, what he is saying is, A, that they're basically all alike in terms of results, and
Alex ClarkHOST
What are we going to be doing this week?
Lucy DallasHOST
Well, this week we will be talking about a piece from the Times Literary Supplement, as we do most of the time.
Lucy DallasHOST
And we will also be talking about a set of books that have just been shortlisted for a big prize this that people will know the name of, I would have thought.
Lucy DallasHOST
And as ever, if people want to read the pieces that we talk about, get along to the website and sign up, and then you will be able to read everything that's in this issue.
Hilary JeffsHOST
That's what it's testing, and that's what the book is sort of riffing on, that experiment.
Peter KindermanHOST
So I briefly read last night, I read the Times Literary Supplement review of the book up to the point where it hit a paywall, whereupon being a cheapskate, I stopped.
Peter KindermanHOST
I do know about the Zadjonk effect and Zadjonk, however you pronounce it, is really quite interesting, which is people work harder when they're in company.
Peter KindermanHOST
People work harder when they're observed, and animals work harder.
