Unexamined racism in the story archives

“I’ve listened to this podcast for years and I look forward to episodes each month. The July 2020 episode heavily features racist portrayals of black individuals in Louisiana. Is this the view of the characters, the author, or the podcast creators? It’s hard to know, but I’m not inclined to be generous when neither Treisman or the guest analyze the portrayals. In an hour long podcast, it somehow doesn’t come up. The New Yorker has been a purveyor of ‘taste’ for decades, a powerful voice in fiction which has helped to produce the fiction tropes that are still so common (ex: black people as part of the landscape, white people as subjects). In the stories it has and has not chosen to tell (and then has or has not chosen to interrogate in this podcast) it demonstrates complicity in racist systems. Another theme, less present this week, is the abundance of episodes with sexual violence that are not discussed as such. I would like to be able up recommend this podcast, but at this point I can not.”

“-- These extraordinary stories coming to me word by word. Each one so different. Framed by thoughtful people bringing me their love of the material. Through that love, seeing this detail, that marvel of writing. Was this what Christmas was like when I was very little? Thank you.”
