Summary:
He's the British comic who created the original version of The Office and captured hilariously the alienation of 9-to-5ers everywhere. Now he's podcasting and performing stand-up, and no matter what he touches, he makes us laugh. Gervais tells Kurt how his early failure as a pop star helped strengthen his desire to pour everything into creativity rather than material success.
Next, was Bartleby the Scrivener depressed? Did Clarissa Dalloway need lithium? Today's English lit students seem to want to medicate away the problems of classic literary characters. Studio 360's Eric Molinsky explores this phenomenon with help from NYU professor Elayne Tobin and novelist Michael Cunningham.
Then, in 1974, during the most turbulent schoolbook boycott in U.S. history, schools were bombed and buses hit with sniper fire in Kanawha County, West Virginia because local community members objected to works by authors like Eldridge Cleaver and Allen Ginsberg. Studio 360's Trey Kay looks into the literature that triggered it all.
Finally, in Miami, poets create on-demand verses for passers-by on manual typewriters. The project is called the "Poem Depot," and it's the brainchild of the Miami Poetry Collective. Produced by Alicia Zuckerman. [Broadcast Date: April 24, 2010]
