We talk with cartoonist Ken Krimstein about the remarkable meeting of the minds between Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka in Prague, before either man was famous. His new graphic book is Einstein in Kafkaland: How Albert Fell Down The Rabbit Hole And Came Up With The Universe. Join us as we explore how two seemingly disparate fields—physics and literature—intertwined in the lives of Einstein and Kafka, leading to some of the most profound and surreal discoveries of the modern age. Then, we talk with veteran Hollywood talent agent Harry Abrams, who represented stars like Liam Neeson and Jennifer Lopez, about his memoir/how to book, Let’s Do Launch: A Hollywood Agent Dishes on How to Make Your Business and Career Take Off.

Building on the success of a previous work, The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt, Krimstein dives into a fascinating exploration of how Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka, two towering figures of the early 20th century, might have influenced each other’s groundbreaking work. Listen to our interview with Krimstein about The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt In This Segment * The Intersection of Genius: Discover how Einstein’s pursuit of solving the mysteries of gravity intersected with Kafka’s exploration of existential truth in the early 1920s. Both men were navigating their own professional and personal challenges in Prague, a city that Krimstein vividly describes as a mystical outpost of civilization. * The True Truth: We explore the philosophical questions both Einstein and Kafka grappled with—what Krimstein calls “the search for the true truth.” We draw connections between their work and broader European traditions of Romanticism and Gnosticism. * Einstein’s Relativity: Struggle to understand Einstein’s theory of relativity? You’re not alone.
