About this listen

 A show about writers, writings, and a little bit of everything else. I’m Aaron Cline Hanbury, and in each episode, I speak with a writer of some variety about his or her work. Or maybe someone else’s work. The point is to chase what’s interesting and good, to find out how writers write, what they learn in the process, and what we can learn, too.Aaron Cline Hanbury Art Christianity Literary History & Criticism Social Sciences Spirituality

    19. To Read Like a Saint | Talking about spiritual reading with Jessica Hooten Wilson

    She calls it reading iconically. Which is to say, Jessica Hooten Wilson approaches literature like an icon, an object that itself can be beautiful but points toward something else. That’s what she writes about in The Scandal of Holiness, it’s really what she’s been writing about for years, and that’s what we talked about for today’s conversation.

    From the introduction of his new book: “We enter the bookstore, see all the books arrayed there, and think: so many books, so little time; but the truth goes the other way: books do not take time, they give time. They enable us to see the dimensions of life, a gift and a vision that are unavailable to us as we live day to day.” And that’s what we’re talking about today.

    17. A Most Iconic Writing Tool | Talking about a the life and times of the typewriter with Martyn Lyons
    Mar 22 2022

    Maybe, when you fantasize about your writing life, you picture a quill pen and scrolling parchment. But probably not. More than likely, you think about the machine that still stars in almost every novel and film about writers: the typewriter. In a new book, historian Martyn Lyons looks at the relatively short life of the typewriter and how its most famous users approached their work on the famed machines.
