"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

I thought we might have some difficulty, but hoped for the best. He came and picked us up at the hotel, and we took the subway down to Chinatown, where we found a suitable restaurant. I tried desperately to think of something to say. We had to have something in common, we were about the same age, did the same thing for a living, wrote novels, though his were of considerably higher quality than mine. But no, I couldn’t come up with a single topic of conversation."

"There is nothing factually incorrect about Knausgaard’s account. But, on reading it, I saw what he was doing. Knausgaard wanted to draw a distinction between Scandinavians and Americans when it comes to small talk. In fact, the reason we couldn’t talk to each other had less to do with cultural differences than with the fact that we are both nervous people with self-esteem problems who were uncomfortable in each other’s presence. That didn’t fit into Knausgaard’s argument at that point in the article, however; and so, like any professional writer, he used the part of the story that served his need."

Lana in Bucks County:

Apologies for my earlier misuse of a term John- not 'taciturn" just "reticent" - I always get those two confused. According to MW, "taciturn implies a temperamental disinclination to speech and usually connotes unsociability. reticent implies a reluctance to speak out or at length, especially about one's own affairs."

Clay does a masterful job of walking that fine line of inclusivity, neutrality, and positivity on his show; somehow supporting us thru these difficult times without incisive blame or hate towards some of the powers that be. John and Clay had a fantastic discussion of the political climate, I think one weeks after the TOPT thing. John had some very interesting and helpful insights, which really healped me, anyway.

Like a contemplative silence vs a brooding silence, it's subtle but an often overlooked part of communication. Thanks for giving me something to think about!

Sorry, no. It was one or two weeks after TOPT "broke -up" with Clay. Clay starting discussing his conflicted feelings with John. Somebody earlier in this chat went back to listen tothat Wake episode, maybe they can direct you.

Yes, I think "taciturn" has a bit of a negative tone compared to "reticent."

Lankylad, zachary. I just listened to that. It sounds like Todd surprised Clay with his exit. It was amicable. Todd must've had other reasons. Busy maybe.
