This week on the Richard Crouse Show we meet author Eugene Marten. His latest powerful new novel “Pure Life” is the sprawling story of the rise and fall of a former professional American Football player, Nineteen, who claws his way from a working-class background to wealth and fame before losing everything. Then, we get to know Mark O’Brien. As an actor, Mark is one of the stars of Showtime’s "City on a Hill," starring opposite Kevin Bacon and produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. You’ve seen him on the Amazon series "The Last Tycoon" opposite Kelsey Grammar, and will soon see him in the recurring guest star role of ambitious Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Thomas Milligan in the second season of HBOs popular “Perry Mason” reboot. Today we’ll talk about “The Righteous,” his debut as a feature film director… oh, and he also wrote it and stars as well as Aaron, a mysterious young man who turns the life of a former priest upside down. Finally, director Sunnie McFadden-Curtis stops by to talk about “Broken Vows: Stories Of Separation,” a new documentary that takes you into the lives of women experiencing separation.

The acclaimed writer Eugene Marten discusses his new novel Pure Life (Strange Life, 2022), with Joseph Planta. Pure Life by Eugene Marten (Strange Light, 2022).  Click to buy this book from Amazon.ca: Pure Life Text of introduction by Joseph Planta: I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca. Eugene Marten joins me now. The acclaimed novelist has just published a new book, Pure Life. It’s described as a sports saga and sprawling thriller. Its central character is called Nineteen. He makes his way to the pros, becomes the quarterback, and takes on mythic proportions. He marries the owner’s daughter, and reaches the sort of greatness that aspiring athletes aspire to. He retires, and assumes he’ll be playing golf, with celebrity endorsements and real estate investments. But as the market tanks and his family disintegrates, he’s contending with a brain that he feels isn’t all there. He ends up going to the Mosquito Coast of Honduras in search of restoration. It’s a miracle brain damage treatment that’s forbidden in the United States, and it soon plunges him into darkness, violence and a lot of horror he couldn’t have imagined. I’ll talk to Mr. Marten about our hero, and what he depicts in the book, like the world of professional sport, capitalism, fame, and myths. Eugene Marten was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and at the age of two, emigrated with his parents to the United States. His works include the novella Waste, and the novels In the Blind, Firework, and Layman’s Report. This new book is published by Strange Light, an imprint of Penguin Random House. Mr. Marten joined me from Cleveland, Ohio two and a half weeks ago. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Eugene Marten; Mr. Marten, good morning.The post Eugene Marten first appeared on thecommentary.ca.
