Episode: Cheston Knapp : Up Up Down Down
Description: âCheston Knappâs Up Up, Down Down has the uncanny, welcome ability to make so-called mainstream or dominant cultureâwhite, masculinist, Christian, frat boy, & so onâappear newly strange, & newly open to analysis. He has the eye & ear of an anthropologist, a joyously expansive vocabulary, a prose style that feels both extravagant & exact, & a big, booming heart.ââMaggie Nelson
âThis book made me laugh out loud in embarrassing placesâa quiet Swedish train, a darkened redeye flightâ& its insights will keep echoing in me for a long time.ââLeslie Jamison
