Beskrivning
A cultural history told through perfume, media, and resistanceSince 2019, Jack Mason has drawn unexpected and fascinating connections between fragrance, contemporary politics, television, film, and literature on his cult podcast The Perfume Nationalist. Each episode begins with a discussion of a perfume, often paired with personal reflections on scent, followed by an exploration of related media. There is a recurring theme of soap opera and maximalist narrative forms, along with an appreciation for popular works forgotten, dismissed, or underappreciated due to the censorious political upheaval of the woke era. The Perfume Nationalist stands as both a renegade education in the arts and an ongoing serialized reality radio drama chronicling Mason’s life.Conceived in defiance of the growing censorship, ideological conformity, and cultural decay of the 2010s, The Perfume Nationalist is both an act of artistic resistance and a personal liberation. This memoir traces the evolution of the show season by season, mirroring its format through alternating essays on perfume, film, and television. It offers a message of optimism, faith, and artistic defiance: when life becomes ugly and oppressive, you must have the bravery to create another world.

Recensioner i media

“This is the book of our times, not because it wants to be, but because it has to be. Politics and pop culture are just garnish in an exploration of what it means to believe in God and Art in a world of bad actors playing God.”—Cara Cunningham“Like any bold work of art, Jack Mason himself provokes either love or hate—a great hallmark of all things worthwhile. For to inspire ambivalence or apathy is an omen that one or one’s work is unable to cut deep enough, to be candid, to transgress what is merely acceptable in favor of what dares to move the spirit. Jack reliably proves to be incisive in his observations, acerbic in his wit, and courageous in his willingness to bare hard truths. Plunging into the world of The Perfume Nationalist is a thrill.”—Scout Dixon West, perfumer and musician  “A work of autofiction, and a rare example of the genre that succeeds because the person telling it actually has a story worth telling. . . . With this book, Jack looks back on that story for the first time. He chronicles his rise as a podcaster as though it were an existential novel, full of drama, betrayal, obsession, and the undeniable courage required to follow one's own vision against it all. TPN is one of the defining stories of our strange little subculture. A masterful podcast has become a work of literature worthy of it.”—Adam Lehrer, Tablet
