One More Thing(s)
Welcome to One More Thing(s), the bite-sized arts and culture podcast that tries to find one more important thing to think about in this busy world. Each episode, host Brock Kingsley picks a film, a book, an artist, a piece of artwork, a song…something that is worth spending a little bit of time with and digs into it. We invite you to do the same. Occasional special topics and interviews. Follow on Instagram @onemorethingspod

On today's show, some thoughts on Sam Munson's new novel The Sofa.
From the publisher: "Mr. Montessori and his family return home from a trip to the beach to discover that their sofa is different. Once dark and contemporary, it’s now antique, green and yellow, and smelling faintly of damp.
Its appearance and origins are a mystery. A joke? An inverted theft? A break in the fabric of reality? Yes,...
(from New Directions):
LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR TRANSLATED LITERATURE
Deep in the wilds of the New World, Antonio de Erauso begins to write a letter to his aunt, the prioress of the Basque convent he escaped as a young girl. Since fleeing a dead-end life as a nun, he’s become Antonio and undertaken monumental adventures: he has been a cabin boy, mule driver, shopkeeper, soldier, and conquistador. Now, ...
Today: Vol. 2 of The Coolest Songs in the World. This time, an end of summer edition. Summer is a metaphor, and here are some songs that remind me of summer--or make me think about summer (or a summer past). Some of the songs will seem obvious, while others won't; some of the songs are happy (ish), and others are down right sad. But that's how memory works. A link to the playlist is below. I hope you enjoy t...
On today's podcast, a review of Issa Quincy's novel 'Absence' (Two Dollar Radio).
From the publisher: "A child is beguiled by a poem read to him by his mother. The poem follows this elusive narrator like a whisper throughout his life, echoing across the years in the stories and lives of others as they are recounted to him: an enigmatic and beloved schoolteacher who leaves behind a dark secret ...
Occasionally a book comes along that takes me way too long to finish. The reason it takes me too, long is that I continue to turn the pages back--I reread sections, passages, phrases. I roll ideas around my head that I've already considered. The books that take me too long are the books that I don't want to finish because they are so good. So good, that when I do finish them, I turn directly back to page one...
On today's episode of One More Thing(s), a brief essay on the painting Beta Mu (1961) by Morris Louis.

As someone who is over 17 years clean and sober, I’m always on the lookout for how addiction and recovery are portrayed in art and popular culture. When I came across Nick Gardner’s collection of linked stories, “Delinquents And Other Escape Attempts,” I thought this was as good a portrait of addiction and recovery as I have read.
On today's show: A conversation with Nick Gardner, author of the linked story colle...
We're back (finally) with an episode on Rebecca Manson's solo exhibition, Barbecue, at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Over 45,000 handcrafted ceramic leaves all piled up in the ellipse galleri--It's a real stunner, and it's on view until August 25th.
Rebecca Manson was born in 1989 in New York, where she currently lives and works. She received her BFA in ceramics from the Rhode Isla...
