A collage of photos with Roxane Gay and Dua Lipa and the book bad feminist.

Dua Lipa talks to Roxane Gay on the #Service95 podcast about the media’s role in downplaying Epstein crimes:

“The way the crimes have been reported, the language that’s been used, has been really doing such a disservice to all the victims…the media takes and twists things..in the darkest hour.”

"So, I recently finished a book that completely hijacked me, and I can't stop thinking about it: The Son Of Man by Jean-Baptiste Del Amo, translated by Frank Wynne. This chilling and beautifully written novel explores family, masculinity and the terrifying inheritance of violence. It pulled me in from the first page and refused to let go, building an atmosphere of dread that quietly tightened its grip - and has stayed with me long since finishing it.
After an unexplained absence of several years, a man walks back into the life of a woman and their young son.
Right away, something about him feels off. He's unpredictable, almost feral, and when he insists they all go together to Les Roches, an abandoned house in the mountains, a sense of dread creeps in and never leaves us, the readers.
Later, we find out that this is the same house where the man lived his brutal teenage years with his own violent and deranged father. At this point, I was getting The Shining vibes - and the ending of this tense novel is no less climactic. In fact, I should probably warn you: this is a dark book, even by my standards. And yet, there's also real beauty here. The language is cinematic and poetic, which translator Frank Wynne captures perfectly in English.
Jean-Baptiste Del Amo, one of France's most exciting contemporary writers, so cleverly illustrates how violence can be passed down from one generation to the next - especially from fathers to sons. I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end, and the story of this fragile family and the legacy of inherited trauma keeps coming back to me. The hope at the end of this novel rests on breaking this cycle.

I'm Obsessed With Dua Lipa's Very Good Bookclub, 'Service95' I've been out with the flu, which was surprisingly enough time to work my way through most of Dua Lipa's fascinating book club: _Service95_. ### Launched earlier this year, and spawned from her former BBC podcast _At Your Service_ , the book club brings together her many far-flung beach and plane and backstage reads into a series of fascinating conversations with fascinating authors. The most recent of her interviews is, quite fittingly, Margaret Atwood, whose books remain perpetually of-the-times as political conditions deteriorate stateside. In the interview, Lipa tells Atwood: “I couldn’t imagine at 15 years old that there was any danger of that becoming a reality, whereas now re-reading it at 30 years old in today's climate, it’s quite terrifying." Atwood says that when she first published The Handmaid's Tale, Americans told her "that would never happen here." Jokes on us, I suppose. ### ### In their conversation, Lipa explains that "There has been a revolt in the US," to which Atwood responds: "There's been a power grab takeover." Lipa continues, saying "The borders are a bit unclear, democracy's been replaced with a totalitarian, religious dictatorship." They're talking about _The Handmaid's Tale_ , to be clear, but the themes resonate! ### It's not just one fascinating conversation with Atwood though, that I got sucked into while out with the flu, curled up around my computer, listening to the soothing resonance of Lipa's voice. I quite enjoyed her conversation with Emma Cline, author of _The Guest_ , who's sort of like the Sally Rooney to gay guys who's Lena Dunham is John Early. (That's a compliment to both.) ### ### It is not unsurprising that Lipa has such insightful commentary on books, seeing as her previous BBC podcast was similarly chock-full of conversations with people that others might describe as luminaries. But it is a breath of fresh air in a pop landscape that doesn't necessarily prioritize meaningful conversation amongst mega-stars like Lipa, what with the current trend of influencer-on-influencer interviews that dominate the press cycle these days. ### For more historical leaning interviews, I quite liked this chat with biographer Jennifer Clement on Basquiat's muse, which chronicles the impact of the AIDs crisis and the artist's personal life. Fascinating stuff! ### ### After digesting most of these from the comfort and safety of the influenza nest I built on my boyfriend's bed, I can't say I'd like to see more pop celebrities start book clubs like Service95. Perhaps it's because so much of Lipa's public image is intertwined with her various selfies posed up against best-sellers and indie cult classics, alongside interviews chock full of commentary on her political positions, worldview, and more. For now, I'm perfectly happy with a cozy fall fire and Emma Cline's _The Guest_ , which I've started a re-read of in light of their book club interview earlier this year. Fingers cross the flu passes me over quickly, but if not, I might need to dig out that weatherworn grade school copy of _The Handmaid's Tale_ while I'm at it. ### _Image via Getty_
