Rachel Allen

In this collage of critical reflections, written in the tradition of the short essay running through Francis Bacon and Roland Barthes, the novelist, philosopher, and former New York Times Opinion staffer Mark de Silva looks into matters of both common curiosity and special concern in America today: technological evolution, virtuality, terrorism, the future of the self, the individual's place in a globalized society, the species' place in the natural world, the state of the arts, and the animadversions of the sciences. Above all, Points of Attack is a handbook of the ways of the good life in bad times, and an inoculation against presumption in an era when the axioms of liberal democratic life have come undone and the end of history once again appears a long way off. de Silva is in conversation with Rachel Allen. _______________________________________________ Produced by Maddie Gobbo &amp; Michael Kowaleski Theme: "I Love All My Friends," a new, unreleased demo by Fragile Gang.

SKYLIT: Mark de Silva, "POINTS OF ATTACK" w/ Rachel Allen

Mark de Silva is the guest. His debut novel, Square Wave, is available now from Two Dollar Radio. If I recall correctly, Mark's parents dropped him off at my house, which, if true, would make him the first guest in the history of the program to be dropped off by his parents, which is hopefully the start of a trend. (Maybe I should do a series of interviews called "Writers and Their Parents" wherein writers come over with their parents, and we all sit down and talk.) Mark went to Cambridge and got a Ph.D. in Philosophy. I feel like I should tell you that. He grew up in the Inland Empire here in Southern California, the child of psychotherapists. I think I'm remembering that correctly. This conversation took place two or three weeks ago. My life has been crazy since then. My brain is completely shot. I can't remember much. But I do remember laughing a lot during this interview, and feeling like it went really well. So there's that. I hope you guys enjoy it. In today's monologue, I think I talk about caffeine. And I talk about my barista, a gentle man with a ponytail.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
