I truly didn’t understand and appreciate the comments made about e-books versus physical books. It’s true there is a sensory experience in holding a book tactile sensations of turning the pages, etc. However, just speaking for myself, I rely on e-books now because of physical/medical issues with my neck, shoulders and hands. It is nearly impossible for me to hold a book of any weight. Also, I am essentially homebound now. So being able to download an e-book as an additional advantage to me. And I do enjoy the e-books. Just my point of view. Thanks.
I love The Legend of Broken and, after hearing the man, I admire him even more than I already did for writing such a well-thought, detailed, fantastic book. :D Thank you for uploading this!
On certain levels I agree about his statements regarding the internet and ebooks. However, the ironic part of this is the fact that I had to rely on the internet to hear his views and not feel so isolated in having them. I get the feeling many people that live and depend upon the internet would find such thoughts either wrong or an attack upon themselves since their own lives are so dependent upon the online world of today.
wow. agree on his take on the internet. and its effects on the reading life and human mind. real worthy books that bring meaning cant be e-books. reading is a physical, tactile, sensual (of the senses), personal and intimate expefience.
yes, wish he does that. recall the 1st bk oh his i read n enjoyed v much - the alienist. will definitely be getting this book. am also waiting for willock"s 2nd bk after 'the religion.'
After reading a thousand or so pages of his prose in The Alienist and its sequel, to hear him speak with so slowly and with clumsy articulation is a bit shocking. Is this the same man?
The poor man was very ill. He had a lot of serious health problems. Considering what shape he was in it's amazing that he was even able to do things like this. I thought he did admirable well. He died on May 23, 2024. God rest him, he was a remarkable man. And I'm enjoying his last book, "My Beloved Monster: Masha, the half wild rescue cat who rescued me."
He was so right.

Thank you so much for uploading this. It's really great to see him and hear him speak about his new book. Wish he would make more appearances.
ts_art I want him to speak at MIT. I'm going to try.
That would be incredible!
I'm watching this in my bed on my phone after re-reading Killing Time on my Kindle app... 😂
It's a wild world.

@@user-nr3vg3zf8q Had no idea he had passed. Those close to this remarkable man have my sympathies. Very sad that we'll never get Alienist 3.
shockingly bad reviews.
odd.
