Sinopsis
A squirrel in the street. Actors running in movies. A misplaced cup of tea. Naps. These topics are but a few that Atlantic staff writer James Parker has honored with an ode. To Parker, an ode isn’t just untempered praise — a healthy dose of complaining is essential. We talk to Parker about his favorite odes and why he thinks composing them can help us appreciate our everyday surroundings, from the annoying to the mundane to the beautiful. His new book is “Get Me Through the Next Five Minutes: Odes to Being Alive.” We want to hear from you: Have you ever written an ode? To whom or what? Guests: James Parker, staff writer, The Atlantic; author, "Get Me Through The Next 5 Minutes: Odes to Being Alive"
