NPR's Book of the Day - Revisiting ‘Their Eyes Were Watching God’

Janie Crawford – back in her hometown of Eatonville, Florida – recounts a journey of self-discovery, structured around three marriages. Their Eyes Were Watching God is Zora Neale Hurston’s most celebrated work and a classic text of the Harlem Renaissance. In today’s Books We’ve Loved, Andrew Limbong and B.A. Parker, joined by R. Eric Thomas, discuss what makes this novel a coming-of-age story, despite its focus on a woman in her late 30s. And special guest Tayari Jones shares her take on Hurston’s relationship to folklore.


Eric’s Recommendation: ‘Getting Mother's Body’ by Suzan-Lori Parks

Parker’s Recommendation: ‘Like Water for Chocolate’ by Laura Esquivel

Andrew’s Recommendation: ‘Tom Lake’ by Ann Patchett

Everything Everywhere Daily - Italian vs German Fascism

Fascism is one of the most notorious political ideologies that shaped the 20th century.

Fascism is typically only thought of in tandem with Nazi Germany, but it wasn’t the only country that adhered to the ideology, and they weren’t even the first.  The originator was Italy. 

Despite many similarities between fascist Italy and Germany, the two nations developed forms of fascism with significant ideological differences. 

Learn about Italian and German fascism, their differences and similarities, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less - Richard Thaler and The Winner’s Curse

In the later part of the 20th century, a pioneering group of economists started shaking up their academic field.

These “behavioural economists” used findings from experimental psychology and everyday life to challenge the prevailing view that human beings were rational decision makers – acting in predictable ways to maximize their wealth.

One of those pioneers was Richard Thaler, who noted down some of these “anomalies” in a column in the 1980s, which was turned into a book - The Winner’s Curse - first published in 1992. His work also won him the Nobel memorial prize in economics in 2017.

More than 30 years on, he has returned to that book, publishing a new, updated version with co-author Alex Imas, which looks at whether those anomalies in rational thinking have stood the test of time.

Tim asks him to set out two of his most famous ideas – the winner’s curse itself, and the idea of “mental accounting”.
