Listen to an excerpt of Helen Wan's THE PARTNER TRACK, read by Catherine Ho.

Ingrid Yung's life is full of firsts. A first-generation Chinese American, the first lawyer in her family, she's about to collect the holy grail of "firsts" and become the first minority woman to make partner at the venerable old law firm Parsons Valentine & Hunt.

Ingrid has perfected the art of "passing" and seamlessly blends into the old-boy corporate culture. She gamely banters in the corporate cafeteria, plays in the firm softball league, and earnestly racks up her billable hours. But when an offensive incident at the summer outing threatens the firm's reputation, Ingrid's outsider status is suddenly thrown into sharp relief. Scrambling to do damage control, Parsons Valentine announces a new Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, commanding Ingrid to spearhead the effort. Only she's about to close an enormous transaction that was to be her final step in securing partnership.

For the first time, Ingrid must question her place in the firm. Pitted against her colleagues, including her golden-boy boyfriend, Ingrid begins to wonder whether the prestige of partnership is worth breaching her ethics. But can she risk throwing away the American dream that is finally within her reach?

Poorer, hungrier, safer? Afghanistan one year on

Enregistrée aux SUBS de Lyon lors de la seconde édition du festival « Littérature Live », cette version scénique de « Bookmakers » prend le pari de réunir les 16 premie.è.r.e.s invité.e.s du podcast grâce à un habile re-montage de leurs propos. Résultat : une super-master-class pour évoquer en 90 minutes l’essentiel des questions à se poser quand on veut écrire un roman, de l’éveil de la vocation à la signature du contrat. Avant, pendant et après l’écriture. Trois parties, trois chapitres, le temps d’une conversation susceptible d'éclairer la célèbre phrase attribuée à William Faulkner (qu’il n’a ni écrite, ni prononcée) : « Écrire, c'est comme craquer une allumette au cœur de la nuit, au beau milieu d'un bois. La littérature ne sert pas à mieux voir. Seulement à mesurer l'épaisseur de l’obscurité. »

En présence imaginaire de : Philippe Jaenada, Alice Zeniter, Delphine de Vigan, Tristan Garcia, Chloé Delaume, Dany Laferrière, Lola Lafon, Nicolas Mathieu, Marie Desplechin, Pierre Jourde, Sylvain Prudhomme, Alain Damasio, Hervé Le Tellier, Sophie Divry, Lydie Salvayre et Bayon.

An honest reckoning with the war on terror, masculinity, and the violence of American hegemony abroad, at home, and on the psyche, from a veteran whose convictions came undone

When Lyle Jeremy Rubin first arrived at Marine Officer Candidates School, he was convinced that the “war on terror” was necessary to national security. He also subscribed to a strict code of manhood that military service conjured and perpetuated. Then he began to train and his worldview shattered. Honorably discharged five years later, Rubin returned to the United States with none of his beliefs, about himself or his country, intact. 

In Pain Is Weakness Leaving the Body, Rubin narrates his own undoing, the profound disillusionment that took hold of him on bases in the U.S. and Afghanistan. He both examines his own failings as a participant in a prescribed masculinity and the failings of American empire, examining the racialized and class hierarchies and culture of conquest that constitute the machinery of U.S. imperialism. The result is a searing analysis and the story of one man’s personal and political conversion, told in beautiful prose by an essayist, historian, and veteran transformed.

02 Sakena: Mr. Telephone Man

Why don’t we understand how the female orgasm works? After years of scientific research, the male body is understood but when it comes to how women work, we are a long way behind. Why is there this gap in knowledge? 



It appears research has been hindered by the assumption that the female body works in the same way as the male body and that for women, arousal is all in the mind. There’s also a general attitude that studying sexual pleasure isn’t important and that female orgasms aren’t important to study as they serve no purpose for reproduction.



Researchers are slowly correcting these assumptions and making surprising discoveries.



We’ll take you behind the scenes to two orgasm labs to bring you the latest research on how orgasms work for women. We’ll also hear from Callista, who struggled with excruciating pain during sex for many years but was told the problem was all in her mind. Her journey to diagnosis shows how little is known, even amongst gynaecologists and doctors, about female sexual pleasure.

The Female Orgasm

Le dirty talking ou dirty talk : en français, le parler sale. Les trucs un peu hard qu'on (se) dit au lit. La sexualité étant un espace hautement culturel, on a même réussi à codifier le dérapage – il s'agit d'être explicite mais pas trop, de se dire des cochonneries mais pas trop. Maïa Mazaurette donne quelques conseils de bon sens illustrés de sons réjouissants.
