Guest on The Book Review · 4 books · 1 episode across 1 podcast

Craig Seligman appeared as a host on The Book Review podcast to discuss various literary works, memoirs, and novels with guests. During an episode focusing on the Attica uprising and literary influences, Seligman brought up Joseph O'Neill's novel Netherland, connecting it directly to F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic work The Great Gatsby. He noted a specific scene in Netherland where the protagonist looks out at the Hudson River from a train, drawing a parallel to a famous descriptive paragraph in The Great Gatsby where a character casts their mind back to the landscape before it was settled by European colonists. Seligman interpreted this literary parallel as an intentional homage and allusion to Fitzgerald's writing. Additionally, during the same podcast episode, Seligman discussed reading Max Frankel's memoir, titled The Times of My Life and My Life with The Times, engaging with the autobiographical account of Frankel's journalistic career and his long tenure working with the prominent newspaper.
