nü radío flomm — one for the books

“As we ex­pose our vul­ner­a­bil­i­ties, we be­come more vul­ner­a­ble. As we come to feel more lone­ly and help­less, we are more like­ly to be­lieve in ide­olo­gies that ex­plain every­thing, con­spir­a­cy the­o­ries that make sense of the world, big lies that re­as­sure us of our place in it.”
—radío flomm 28 april 2026

“We think of cen­sor­ship as the burn­ing of books, but they don’t burn books any­more. What they do is they re­move them. They de­prive us of our right to ac­cess them.”
—radío flomm 28 april 2026

“A gen­er­a­tion of the un­teach­able is hang­ing upon us like a neck­lace of corpses.”
—radío flomm 28 april 2026

“A book­store or a li­brary is­n’t just where books live – shared spaces that pre­serve cul­ture for those who still want to think. They’re where cul­ture ei­ther sur­vives qui­et­ly or dis­ap­pears rather loudly.”
—radío flomm 28 april 2026

“Most artists are reach­ing for every­thing avail­able around them. It’s a unique com­bi­na­tion of sort of in­flu­ences and forces that com­press to make that artist’s sin­gu­lar sort of ex­pres­sion … And that’s the thing I want to talk about in The Stacks.”
—radío flomm 28 april 2026

“And every top­ic imag­in­able, hard­cov­er, soft­cov­er, you name it. There’s a good en­er­gy here.”
—radío flomm 28 april 2026

“Is it in­struc­tive? Is it beau­ti­ful? Is it thought-pro­vok­ing? Is it the truth? Or is it a mean­ing­ful lie? There are some re­al­ly good art books that are mean­ing­ful lies and they’re important.”
—radío flomm 28 april 2026

“It was banned by the So­vi­et regime, mis­un­der­stood and edit­ed. Lat­er, it was called a masterpiece.”
—radío flomm 28 april 2026

“The moral here is, you must be care­ful what you pre­tend to be, be­cause in the end, you are what you pre­tend to be.”
—radío flomm 28 april 2026

“Cholera is a hor­ri­ble way to die … There was a lot. I mean, a lot of sex and vomiting.”
