in fiction and in science. they have the genre of alternative history in which you imagine what if roosevelt had been assassinated. and as a result of that the nazis in the japanese have won world war ii. that's the man in the high castle. unless cited fictional the plot against america which is one of my favorite books it's unfortunate that it seems to be coming true. i know some of you are thinking that. the idea of multiple universes even argue at least first appear in fiction. this happens to be the first story ever to be published in english and guess what literary journal published that. it lays out in beautiful prose the notion of multiple universes in the unit notion that has now entered into science in the form of the many world interpretation. essentially any quantum event is to be understood as a forking path. on the other universe the cat is alive. it solves the problem for not being able to decide whether it's dead or alive. it is both alive and dead at the same time. they don't like to do. in your

by the 60s then science-fiction had taken off. imagine going into a barnes and noble with a huge science-fiction section that wouldn't have been his childhood for example. >> you would think he hated the technology or at least he said so but he didn't have a car though he had no problem with the train or flying that he always made students drive him to the airport even when he taught here at hillsdale they would have to drive him back. it was about two and a half hours, so that is five hours to come down and go back up plus the student would have to go back so that even more than that. a huge part of his income came from colleges and speaking so he was gone most half the year he would be traveling every year until his health was bad. he had a number of positions that he would normally do them a semester. places like the university of chicago offered him three times professorship that over and over he said no. >> if one says they are a kirkian what does that mean? >> i don't think that is a proper title. he was a conformist and tha

fiction called alternate history fiction. in alternate history novels, big changes -- the south wins the civil war, things like that. the reader of those books knows that as part of the entertainment, to see just how many things will have been changed. whereas with standard historical fiction, the reader is looking for a fidelity, especially to the small facts. they want the world to be replicated, and then maybe to have some interesting things happen that happened behind the scenes were between the cracks. i do think there are moral questions involved. i never considered what i did with mrs. nixon to be so terrible. i thought she was entitled. [laughter] mr. mallon: as i say, and the book portrays her as being very loyal and portrays a much warmer marriage between the nixons then many histories and biographies to. do. in fact, the reviewer who said , asade them uncomfortable reviews will sometimes do, he went back to an essay i had written before and turned it against me and said, member you are at this. and he was right. th

fictional? you touched on this a little bit talking about morals. just wondering if you could elaborate? what would be acceptable? changing facts are introducing new characters? what would be unacceptable? of sub genre kind within historical fiction called alternate history fiction, which is a genre fiction. , bignate history novels changes in the south when the civil war happened. the reader of those books knows that is part of the entertainment to see just how many things will have been changed. where standard historical fiction, the reader is looking for fidelity to the small fax. w to the small facts, and ants the world to be replicated. there are moral questions involved. i did not figure what i had done with richard nixon to be terrible. as i say, and the book for trace her as being very loyal and for trace a much warmer marriage between the next sentence -- between the nixons. the fellow, the reviewer who mrs.the business with nixon made him uncomfortable. to something i wrote before and

it is a fictional fictional re-creation of the manson murders although what i found most interesting about it was the exploration of adolescent female psychology. >> why do you avoid reading contemporary fiction when writing on a book? >> i am always afraid -- i'm a bit of a mimic and always afraid i will inadvertently steal something. >> if you read tolstoy it is okay? >> if i steal something from tolstoy, i am going to be happy with that result. especially the beginning and end of the novel writing process i tend to switch gears to nonfiction which is not my usual diet. >> on your long trip to miami -- >> a lot of time to read in traffic. i was terrified by what the panel was. and immerse myself in crap, and always afraid, reading marcel proust, not sure how to say proust. and discovered him late, charles portis, was true grit, i am sad because he only wrote five books, the masters of atlantis, dog of the south, and one of the funniest writers i ever read, he is still alive, not doing well but he is the most deadpan humor writer i ever read, and never know when he is being funny an

genre fiction on the average is more political than literary fiction. going back to the idea the writing workshop propagates, one way that happened is remove politics. in science fiction i just read 20 years later, read mars by kim stanley robinson about the colonization of mars. that is a full-blown political manifesto about what it would mean to rebuild human civilization on another planet and how we will fuck that up anyway. it is much better than most of the literary books i read this year. i want to write a serious book that is also entertaining. graham team, joseph conrad, i have done that too. that is the genealogy i went to see myself getting into. that was very explicit from the beginning. i knew it was a spy novel but i didn't know it was going to be funny. i read joseph heller, catch-22, loved it, never thought i could be funny. i read journey to the end of the night, i thought that was pretty funny. i created this character, inhabiting his voice and narrated the novel, and alcoholic, a womanizer, half vietnamese and half french though everyo

in terms of trying to specially as you ask, write young adult fiction or fiction with young women, that it's something to keep in mind that, okay, if you're a female heroin -- if it's an action book and you're going to have violence and they do and that's part of the entertainment that the girl gives as good as she gets, at least for me and what i have written in terms of my fiction, one of the things that's been important to me is to show strong girl characters or female characters who are working together. so if you think act catness, she's pretty much on her own, i guess bella has a few vampire friends to help her out and there are other women around. that was another interesting case was the case of diveggantn. her fear escape -- if you're not familiar with it, is they give you a drug and it taps into your greatest fears, whatever those greatest fears and she's afraid of a loft different things, fire, crows, being drown, her boyfriend is going to force himself on her. that was striking. that's not in the book. it's not in the book the way it was in the film. why does hollywood add t

host: if you have to make a choice would you rather read fiction or non- fiction? guest: that's a hard choice. however, i would go for nonfiction. i love history. now, i can read all of those things, but i really like to read things like the queen's bed, which is about queen elizabeth the first nl of the intrigue around that, so history can sometimes be more exciting, i think, then fiction. host: over time, what has been a couple of books in the history, nonfiction, that you liked? guest: no ordinary time. i really connect with orland-- eleanor roosevelt. i went to the only school founded by eleanor roosevelt. host: in chicago? guest: in chicago and is so to read doris kearns with history it's like reading fiction and that's an the best type of history writing, sometimes. i heard her speak at the library. i got the book, read it that night and i could hear her speaking. host: all about fdr and the white house. guest: fdr and the white house and it was just wow. host: when did you first meet michelle and barack obama? guest: in chicago i was working and i had left t

>> we turn to fiction. we turn to a novel because fiction persuades us, all art persuades us that there is a pattern o life, that there is rules to life, that if you look at life the right way, you can see sense in it, you can find meaning in it. it might not be true. maybe that's an illusion. maybe that's like the greatest illusion of literature, but i don't care. that's what is good about it. that's what we turn to it for. >> brown: the novel is "moonglow." michael chabon, thank you. >> oh, absolutely. thank you, jeff. thank you. >> woodruff: online, a 22-year- old syrian refugee tells his story of how he fled his war- torn home for the netherlands, where he helps other refugees rebuild their lives. plus, has black friday become less relevant? our partners from "the conversation" tackle the question. all that and more is on our website, www.pbs.org/newshour. tonight on "washington week," a roundtable discussion focusing on donald trump's administration picks, and the future of the democratic party. that's

i really like these young adult fiction and i like the films. i'm not saying these are bad films that we should be watching them. at the same time, especially in the hollywood versions, i think the versions give us a much more two-dimensional and reduced sort of female protagonists that we get in some of the series, especially in the hunger games, which is my favorite of the ones i've mentioned in terms of the y a literature. what we see in these hollywood films is that although the girls give as good as they get, they also get beaten up.. when i started this project, i started i started looking at some of the stills from the films when i was quite stunned to see that in every single one there is a scene of the girl being choked. something about the girl being choked.th you see that repeated also in certain kinds of pornography but also in high fashion. in high fashion there are, for example, last year it was victoria beckham's fashion line featured where the women were shown like they were dead. a couple of years ago, there was an episode of am

[laughter] focus rather nearly on the 2016 book award for fiction. the students in this class road all read all the short list of books, they studied their authors, their agents, their editors, editors, the publishing houses, all of you. they are really learning about the ways in which you work to support literary fiction in difficult times. it has been a fun class. students have formed juries, decided their own winners. they attempted to predict the outcome here tonight. they have even applied a computer program, a model to try to predict the winner algorithmically. it was developed in canada, it apparently it apparently works for canadian prizes, here, not so much. there has on the whole the more strenuous disagreement in the classroom than among the official judges. karen geronimo, julie, justman and i have found ourselves in close accord throughout the process. we. we gradually whittled down the 400 books to arrive at a place of no compromise where everyone of the five judges love every one of the five finalists. they are chris bachelder's, "the

adding, fiction can bring about change. okay. as jeanne campbell reesman reminds us, almost exactly 50 years separates the road. mccarthy shows the influence of london not only his characters traveled, but naturalistic philosophy. in an interview, mccarthy explains there's no such thing as life without bloodshed. i think the notion that the species can be improved in some way, that everyone can live in harmony, is a really dangerous idea. your desire that it be that way will enslave you and make your life vacuous. which sounds like it could have come from london's mouth. in conclusion, london's legacy for western writers is multifaceted. i want to mention just a few things. first and most obvious is his insistence in writing about and investing with deeper significance subjects that people actually wanted to read about in a style that they actually could read. a clarity that makes london seem perennially modern. a second facet of london's legacy lies in his attempts to comprehend beings different from himself, from other animals

i want to give a view of his literary life and contributions to american fiction, including a few of the influences on his fiction, the literary climate of the u.s., when his work was first published, his mentoring of and relationships with his contemporaries, his influences on other writers, and his contributions to american fiction. jack london was not in a first wave of western writers, the california bohemian such as bret harte, mark twain. london was mentored by one of their number, the poet, ina coolbri, who was the first to encourage this thirsty, hungry little kid, and encourage him. ofcited darwin's origin species as especially influential, and also mapped out an ambitious reading program that includes milton's "paradise lost," one of two volumes he took to klondike with them, as well as robert browning, edgar allen paul -- oh, frank norris, edith wharton, and yes, roger kipling. "i had never written the way i did had kipling never been in early reviews of his story, but london was no mere imitator. he initially had difficult time getting his work published. among the proble

what about fiction, words that are chosen. how much does that matter? >> it matters a lot. and i say this as a sociologist. if we look at trump he has taken level.r me, to a new low he keeps repeating half sentences or phrases like "this hillary,""crooked "hillary the crooked."." brian: if you go to his tweet sisite, it is all of that, repeatedly. >> even tabloids don't use that level of communication. but it works. and it works with a large part of the electorate, obviously. given the fact that americans know pretty well how to behave in public and what to expect from a public figure, the way he still manages to uphold anything between 35% and 40% of the electorate is a miracle to me. but so is the fact that he is part of the establishment now. brian: this is part of the role he will have to get used to now. alan, what do you think? is there a feeling that has been broken through of what was acceptable? >> yes, and it is a tactic. it is about political correctness. political correctness is about preserving the rules of polite discussion. and to break those rules is precise

white ahead is now the recipient of the 2016 national book award for fiction. [applause] we are so fortunate to have him here. the novel was published to uniform acclaim both for its devastating account of the terrible human cost of slavery and for its unique style. mr. whitehead freely mixes the surreal with the real and changes the chronological order of events to create a novel of tremendous, chilling power. it is the tale of cora, a slave on a plantation in georgia in the 1800s. the opening sentence says it all, "the first time caesar approached cora about running north, she said, no." i urge all of you to discover what happens when he asks her a second time. and now it is my great pleasure to introduce colson whitehead and welcome him to our miami book fair. [applause] >> hey, thanks so much for coming. thanks to the miami book fair for having me. i usually spend sunday afternoons in my apartments weeping over my regrets. so this is nice change of pace. in p.j.s. first i had idea for the book 16 years ago. i was sitting in my house came across a reference

i would add this: let's dispel with this fiction that barack obama doesn't know what he's doing. he knows exactly what he's doing. this notion that barack obama doesn't know what he's doing is just not true. - there it is. there it is. - he knows exactly what he's doing. - the memorized 25-second speech. - that's the reason why-- - there it is, everybody. - chris christie called rubio out on the fact that he mindlessly repeats talking points like a stumped speech robot, and rubio's reply was, "beep-boop, beep-boop. "beep-boop. i am human. beep-boop, beep-boop." [upbeat music] - and lastly, we welcome back to the debate stage donald trump. [cheers and applause] [instrumental music] - kasich?
