Omni Daily Crush: "The Unnamed" (and Omnivoracious Podcast with Joshua Ferris)
Not everybody likes The Unnamed . As regular Old Media Monday readers may have noticed, there have been raves (it's an ” accomplished and daring work ,” or “This is fiction with the force of an avalanche “) but also a number of reviews of the “boy, kudos for trying something new after your first book was so awesome, but it didn't quite work” (e.g. Jay McInerney , Janet Maslin , and, most eloquently and extensively, Wyatt Mason in the subscription-only Harper's ).

Podcasts - Episode Three - Meet the...Renowned author, journalist and broadcaster Simon Winchester discusses his New York Times Best Seller The Man Who Loved China: The Fantastic Story of the Eccentric Scientist Who Unlocked the Mysteries of the Middle Kingdom (HarperCollins 2008) at a luncheon program held at the New York offices of Jones Day on May 1, 2009. Needham (1900-1995), the great Sinologist and English don, is a legend for his 24-volume Encyclopedia Science and Civilization in China. His writings also shaped the West's understanding of China through inquiries such as the famous "Needham question," which asks why China failed to industrialize when Europe did, despite its prior achievements in printing, explosives, navigation, hydraulics, ceramics and governance.
Podcasts - Episode Two - Meet the A...Journalist, documentary filmmaker, and author Lynne Joiner discusses her new book, Honorable Survivor: Maos China, McCarthys America, and the Persecution of John S. Service at The Henry Luce Foundation in New York. As in her book, Ms. Joiner fits John Services life into the broader historical background of the struggle in 1940s China between the Communists and Nationalists, the American involvement with China during and after World War II, the madness that gripped the United States in the McCarthy period, and the rapprochement after ping pong diplomacy. She illustrates her talk with an array of wonderful photographs (available at www.ncuscr.org) --of Service as a child (he was born in Sichuan); as an adult working in China, including his personal meetings with Mao Zedong in Yanan; and his tribulations at the hands of the FBIs J. Edgar Hoover and later Senator Joseph McCarthy.
