As for the overall journalism aspect, I think Koenig’s narration has actually given this show a lot of its life - but I also see the problems in an all-white NPR staff covering a case where some of the major elements involved a Pakistani, an Asian, and an African-American. When the story doesn’t move forward, I think that can frustrate the fans of the show. Adnan Syed is in jail, and yes, there’s an appeal-ish-thing coming. But the story isn’t necessarily going to add new parts each week, like, say, Breaking Bad could. It’s an interesting place for the show to be in - because people who have become devoted fanatics of the show are now viewing it almost as you view a true procedural, so they expect the story to move forward every week. The front part of this episode was interesting, but it was mostly chasing down stories and/or rumors and trying to fit them in a context. When you straight-up title an episode “Rumors,” you’ve got the true journalists on high defense alert before the Mail Kimp ad even rolls. Journalism Aspect: I’ve talked about this before, but a lot of the way people are processing this show is through the eyes of journalists or other culture observers. When it was over, I was still somewhat excited - but also let down. Since I had binge-listened Episodes 1-8, this was my first “morning of release” listen.

The Magicians television series and books by Lev Grossman deal with cyclical history and the cycle of trauma. Miller, the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, the Planet of the Apes series, the Camelot legends, and the Cthulhu Mythos. History is often portrayed as cyclical, and we see this in The Matrix Reloaded, Battlestar Galactica, A Canticle for Lebowitz by Walter M. Max Gladstone, author of the Craft Cycle, deals with the recent history of the 2010 financial crisis in Three Parts Dead. Kuang, historian and author of The Poppy War, explains how she brought the real history of the Sino-Japanese wars into her fiction. Secondary worlds that have no Catholicism as people knew it in the West include the Kushiel series by Jacqueline Carey, and His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman.Īuthors like Ken Liu ( Grace of Kings, Wall of Storms) are creating secondary worlds that reference Asian traditions, and non-western history more generally. Seth Dickinson's novel The Traitor Baru Cormorant does something similar. One way that we re-imagine history is by changing one aspect of it, like religion. This all got started because we were thinking about Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and secondary worlds.
