Joseph O'Neill, author of "Netherland" and "The Dog"

Abspielen
Joseph O’Neill published a beautiful novel “Netherland” in 2008 which was rapidly applauded for capturing the zeitgeist of a post-9/11 world, not in a figurative or literal way, but, as its title suggests, in an ethereal, otherworldly way. It is an excellent novel which, if you haven’t read yet, I strongly suggest adding to your reading list. 
In 2014, Joseph O’Neill followed up with an equally absorbing, if somewhat funnier novel, called “The Dog” about a lawyer who accepts an almost comically servile job as an “advisor?” to an ultra-wealthy Lebanese family based in Dubai. To me, that novel is a pioneer of the genre of story-telling around issues of great wealth and social inequality. This is the book that launched a thousand movies & shows like “Succession”, “Triangle of Sadness” or “Parasite”. 
Joseph O’Neill shared so much with me in this episode about his background, his process, his inspirations and overall we had a really great chat. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I did.
Books mentioned in the episode:
Favourite book I’ve never heard of: U & I by Nicholson Baker
Favourite book of the last 12 months: Radius, by Yasmine El-Riffae
The book that he would take to a desert island: The Complete Works of Shakespeare with scholarly annotations
The book that changed his mind: Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson

Beschreibung

Welcome to Lit with Charles, a podcast on all things literary, where I interview people who've either written books or have interesting things to say about them. If you're like me, then you love reading, but maybe you're not sure what you should be reading. Or perhaps you feel intimidated by conversations around books. The main aim of this podcast is to make literature exciting and accessible and hopefully will help you discover new books and authors that are off the beaten track.
