NPR's Book of the Day - Two books examine masculinity and mental health in immigrant families

Today's episode is rooted in how the expectations of immigrant fathers affect their children. First, Khashayar J. Khabushani speaks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about his novel I Will Greet the Sun Again, which follows a young Iranian-American boy trying to make sense of his identity and sexuality under a strict, sometimes violent, dad's care. Then, Prachi Gupta tells NPR's Leila Fadel about her memoir, They Called Us Exceptional, and how the intersection of racism and patriarchy contributed to her brother's tragic death.

Everything Everywhere Daily - World War Zero (Encore)

I’ve done many episodes talking about the first world war and I’ve done many episodes talking about the second world war. 

However, despite the names we’ve given them, they weren’t the only world wars. There was another global war that occurred well before the 20th-century wars. This war actually saw conflicts on five different continents. 

Learn more about World War Zero, the world war before the world wars, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Men Can’t Be Saved’ analyzes masculinity in the world of advertising

Ben Purkert's novel, The Men Can't Be Saved, follows a junior copywriter with a viral tagline for adult diapers. Is it a modern take on Mad Men? Or its very antithesis? Purkert tells NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer how his own days in the advertising industry – at the same time the TV drama starring Jon Hamm had just premiered – shaped his understanding of ego, drive and manhood in the workplace....and how maybe making partner at a firm is more about finding connection than a fancy title, though his protagonist would never admit it out loud.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Sahara Desert Wasn’t Always (Encore)

The Sahara desert is by far the largest desert in the world. It evokes images of sand dunes, camels and just being really really dry.

However, it didn’t always use to be that way. Quite recently, at least geologically speaking, it was a place with grasslands and forests. 

While it disappeared and became a desert, some think a green Sahara might return. 

Learn more about how the Sahara desert wasn’t always a desert, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘The Breakaway,’ Jennifer Weiner touches on love, mothers and body-shaming

Abby Stern is very much looking forward to leading a biking trip from NYC to Niagara Falls – until her mom, an old one-night-stand, and some uneasy memories are added to the mix. In Jennifer Weiner's new novel, The Breakaway, that two-week trip becomes filled with tension: sexual, political, and familial. Weiner tells NPR's Juana Summers how different women manage their mothers' expectations, and how she learned to see "almond moms" quite differently while writing this novel.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Happiness Falls,’ a father gone missing brings family tensions to the surface

Adam Parson goes on a morning hike with his son, Eugene, and the boy returns home alone. Eugene is autistic and nonverbal, so he can't explain what happened. This is how Angie Kim sets up Happiness Falls, which chronicles how the Korean-American family tries to make sense of Adam's disappearance. Kim tells NPR's Scott Simon about the complicated relationship between Eugene and his siblings, and why she wanted to emphasize that a lack of verbal communication does not equal a lack of thought and feeling.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Infinity and Beyond (Encore)

The biggest thing there is and the biggest thing there can be is infinity, right? It literally has no bounds. In fact, thinking about infinity can quickly give you a nosebleed because our finite minds can’t really grasp just how enormous it really is.

However, what if I were to tell you that there is something even bigger than infinity? Or, to be more accurate, there are infinities that are bigger than other infinities? 

Follow me down the rabbit hole as I investigate infinity on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
