Why reimagine Soviet Georgia?

Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher talk to Emily Witt about her latest book, Health and Safety: A Breakdown. A personal history that reflects on this past turbulent decade, the book begins right before the election of Donald J. Trump, a time when Witt finds herself ever more drawn to Brooklyn’s underground techno music scene. Quitting Wellbutrin in 2012, she’d already started experimenting with psychedelics, but once she’s going out dancing all night, her drug use transforms from a focused ritual under the rubric of the vaguely therapeutic to something more like hedonism: a brief accessing of utopia one party at a time. Then she meets a DJ named Andrew who's at the heart of the scene, and the kind of conventional domestic life she thought she was foregoing suddenly comes into focus, before the pandemic and social uprising of 2020 arrive and change everything. Health and Safety is about trying to find different ways to survive, live, and make family,  as well as the changing landscape of New York, the ingenuity and creativity of promoters and DJs, and the shaky line between the collective and the individual in a world gone mad.
Also, Danzy Senna, author of Colored Television, returns to recommend Another Word for Love by Carvell Wallace.

Emily Witt's "Health and Safety: A Breakdown"

Kate Wolf speaks to the author Deborah Levy about her new book, a collection of essays called The Position of Spoons: And Other Intimacies. The piece collected here cite Levy’s early influences from French writers like Colette, Simone de Beauvoir and Marguerite Duras to JG Ballard and Anna Quinn. The collection also moves through snippets of Levy’s life: her relationship to her mother, her youth in dreary London, her abiding interest in surrealism and psychoanalysis, the way inspiration strikes and then takes shape for her novels, and the sensual and aesthetic pleasures of food and nature. In her review of the book for LARB, Grace Linden writes: “It is evident to everyone who reads Levy that language is her plaything….her words are lit from within.”
Also, Emily Witt, author of Health and Safety: A Breakdown. returns to recommend A Song for the River by Philip Connors.

I explain the fundamentals of health and safety law in business, focusing on the key legislation that governs workplace safety. I highlight that every country has its own laws, with the UK primarily following the Health and Safety at Work Act of 1971. It's important for us to be aware of these regulations to ensure compliance and safety in our work environments. I encourage you to reflect on how this legislation impacts our operations.

This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about big problems for Fiji water, how the EPA is eliminating a database of hazardous chemicals used by scientists around the world, and how RFK Jr., wants to eliminate food dyes from most foods in America. Then Dr. Arlene Blum, founder and CEO of the Green Science Policy Institute, talks about the health and safety problems associated with flame retardants in lithium-ion battery housings, and her work trying to get regulators to look at substances, in this case polymers, that are currently unregulated.
