Great tale. Really illustrates the fragility and the simultaneous resilliance of the human emotional psyche.

Quite enjoyable. I was waiting for a twist at the end, but I'm not at all disappointed. I believe that's called "a result".

like the ideas...spicypineapplepodcast is nonfiction but touches on the weird too....

OMG. I had to get out of the car at this point, but found the story online later. I couldn't think of anything else.

Bookmakers #19 - L’autrice du mois : Jakuta Alikavazovic
Née à Paris en 1979, Jakuta Alikavazovic est une romancière multirécidiviste suspectée à juste titre de détournements d’attention, de trafic d’énigmes et de corruption d’imaginaires. Elle a reçu en 2008 le Goncourt du premier roman pour « Corps volatils » (L’Olivier) et, en 2021, le prix Médicis de l’essai pour « Comme un ciel en nous » (Stock). Elle a aussi publié d’habiles romans pour la jeunesse et une histoire d’amour inoubliable, « L’Avancée de la nuit ». Mais qui est donc cette érudite « d’un naturel inquiet », souvent vêtue d’un imperméable de détective privé, pour qui « internet est l’ennemi juré de l’écriture », par ailleurs chroniqueuse enjouée pour « Libération » et traductrice anglophone d’Eve Babitz ou de David Forster Wallace ? Pour le savoir, y a qu’à écouter Jakuta.

En partenariat avec Babelio.

(1/3) Tombée du ciel
Elle a caché quelque chose au Louvre. Un outil, ou peut-être un insecte. Un mystère de poche introduit en loucedé, au nez et à la barbe des équipes de sécurité, lors de sa nuit au musée dont le récit, intitulé « Comme un ciel en nous », lui a valu le prix Médicis 2021 de l’essai. Vendu à 7300 exemplaires, ce petit livre, son plus personnel à ce jour, est à double fond : Jakuta Alikavazovic y expose ses joyeuses réflexions sur l’art, « cette histoire de fantômes pour grandes personnes », tout en esquissant le portrait pudique de son père monténégrin en « émigré esthétique » venu à Paris pour « s’installer dans la beauté ». 

Ce nouveau forfait méritait une enquête approfondie sur cette admiratrice d’Hercule Poirot et de Philip Marlowe, qui lit dans son bain et se rêve parfois dans la peau de Raskolnikov, armée d’une hache. Comment s’éveilla sa vocation ? C’est ce que nous allons tenter d’élucider dans la première partie de cette garde à vue sonore.

Hanging in the garage of Fire Station #6 in Livermore, California, there’s a small, pear-shaped light bulb. It is glowing right now.
This lightbulb has been glowing, with just a couple of momentary interruptions, for 113 years. You can see it glow in real time.
The bulb is a genuine heirloom from the dawn of electric illumination, built by one of its pioneers: Adolphe Chaillet.

McDrafty's Last Ride

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.
