Patricia Engel's new collection of short stories, The Faraway World, reaches into the lives of imaginary characters scattered throughout Latin America. There's a family that's left reeling after a very important member disappears; there's an immigrant woman grappling with societal expectations of what her body and career should look like. In today's episode, Engel talks with NPR's Leila Fadel about some of the overarching themes that tie the ten stories together – and how the title came from a family photograph she found from when her own grandfather took a leap into the unknown.

There have been many really bad years in world history. There have been World Wars, the Black Death, and horrific natural disasters, all of which have made for very bad years. 

However, many historians have come to the conclusion that the worst year in the history of humanity was a year that in and of itself was pretty bad but also ushered in a decade of bad years. 

Moreover, it wasn’t bad for a single region or even continent, it was bad for everyone on the planet.

Learn more about the year 536 and why it very well might have been the worst year in history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the early 1920s, what was considered to be the largest political scandal in American history became public.

Despite the enormous amount of attention given to it in the press at the time, both the scandal and the president that was attached to it, have both been largely forgotten.

Yet, the legacy of this scandal can still be found in the laws today, as well as in how the media and the public respond to political scandals.

Learn more about the Teapot Dome Scandal and how it affected the administration of President Warren G. Harding on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Today's episode features two books that examine wealth – or lack thereof – and gender in India. First, Deepti Kapoor chats with NPR's Scott Simon about her novel, Age of Vice, and the way it portrays indulgence in New Delhi society through a protagonist who is an "oppressed everyman." Then, NPR's Mary Louise Kelly asks Parini Shroff about The Bandit Queens, which follows a jewelry maker who refuses to set the record straight on the village rumor that she murdered her husband – and finds unexpected laughs in her dark quest to help other women get rid of their partners, too.
