In Lori Lansens’ new novel, The Wife’s Tale, she puts the reader inside the head - and body - of a woman who has spent her life carrying around a lot of extra weight and emotional baggage. When the woman’s husband walks out after 25 years of marriage, his disappearance lightens her load and she begins to transform. Host Shelagh Rogers spoke with Lori Lansens about the book on a recent episode of The Next Chapter.

Blaise Pascal’s Pensées is renowned as a great book. Yet few philosophers know much more about it than that it contains Pascal’s famous ‘Wager’ in which he purports to demonstrate that a rational agnostic should gamble on God’s existence. Here Ben Rogers explains the context in which the book was written and outlines its key themes.
Our poetry reviewer, Tess Taylor, received a stack of books over the course of this year to help encourage reading poetry. She began reading skeptically, but grew to love two of them: Why Poetry by Matthew Zapruder and A Little Book on Form by Robert Hass.
