This episode delves into Ben Lerner's captivating novel, "The Lights." Here, Lerner takes an unexpected approach: using clear, unadorned language to depict a world that feels unsettlingly unreliable. It's a fascinating technique that forces us to question what we perceive as reality.
Imagine a story where the ground beneath your feet seems to shift. Everyday experiences are colored by a sense of uncertainty. Through Lerner's masterful use of plain speech, we encounter characters and situations that challenge our assumptions about the world.
Is this a deliberate blurring of lines, or a reflection of our own fractured times? Join us as we unpack the complexities of "The Lights" and explore how Lerner uses a seemingly simple writing style to create a profoundly thought-provoking experience.
