Parul Kapur's novel Inside the Mirror (University of Nebraska Press, 2024) centers on twin sisters growing up in 1950s Bombay, who aspire to become artists. The family is still recovering from the Partition of India in 1947, especially the twins' grandmother, who once fought for justice against the British regime. One sister is supposed to study medicine, but she is a talented painter, and other studies education, but she is highly trained in a classical Hindu dance form called Bharata Natyam. They live in a Bengali community in which parents choose their daughters' husbands and society demands conformity. Jaya's paintings and Kamlesh's dancing could destroy their chances of finding a good husband, ruin their father's career, and affect the family's standing in their community. Jaya moves out of the house, an aberration not only affects her medical schooling, but also disturbs the bond she has with her twin. This is a beautifully written novel about family, art, British colonialism, and coming of age in a time and place in which women could not easily choose their own paths. Parul Kapur was born in Assam, India and immigrated to the United States with her family when she was seven. She received a BA in English Literature from Wesleyan University and an MFA from Columbia University. Returning to India, she worked for a year as a reporter for the city magazine Bombay, covering social issues, and culture and the arts. A journalist, literary critic and fiction writer, Parul was a press officer at the United Nations in New York and a freelance arts writer for The Wall Street Journal Europe, New York Newsday, ARTnews, and Art in America during a decade spent in Germany, France, and England. Her articles and reviews have also appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Esquire, GQ, Slate, Guernica, and Los Angeles Review of Books. Her short stories appear in Ploughshares, Pleiades, Prime Number, Midway Journal, Wascana Review, and the anthology {Ex}tinguished & {Ex}tinct. In 2010, she founded the Books page at ArtsATL, Atlanta's leading online arts review, covering the literary scene for four years. She was also a co-founder of the global voices program, showcasing a diversity of authors, at the Decatur Book Festival, formerly the nation's largest indie book festival.

We're all flawed, all complicated, and all hunger to be accepted to be just who we are in the world. But, we also desire to feel safe. The bigger question is, "How do you feel safe when everyone sees you as flawed or complicated?" You don't let them IMPACT your life. You live you, and share your flawed and complicated life, even if that means you admit you've been abused - physically and emotionally...because someone else needs to hear your story. Benji Carr, author, journalist, and performer, takes us on his journey to come out of his closet - gay and otherwise - to embrace his flaw with making it complicated journey. https://www.amazon.com/Impacted-Novel-Benji-Carr-ebook/dp/B08QDYMWLJ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=impacted&qid=1622836034&sr=8-1 ()About BenjiAs a child growing up in the South with cerebral palsy, Benji Carr developed an eye for the bizarre and quirky, which provided all of the stories he told his friends and family with a bit of flavor. Working as a journalist, storyteller and playwright, his work – whether the stories be personal tales of struggle and survival or fiction about cannibal lunch ladies, puppet romances, drag queen funerals, and perverted killer circus clowns – has been featured in The Guardian, ArtsATL and Pembroke Magazine. Onstage, his pieces have been presented at the Center for Puppetry Arts, Alliance Theatre, and as part of the Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Short Play Festival in Manhattan. He lives in Atlanta and helps run the online literary magazine, Gutwrench Journal. IMPACTED is his first novel.

“I guess my ritual is beneficial procrastination, which is not something that looks good on a job application.”—  Benji CarrBenji Carr, author of the upcoming novel Impacted, prefers not to write in his office or another quiet space.Instead, he heads out to his local Dunkin Donuts or storefront cafe.Benji believes that there's no wrong way to write... so long as you end up productive eventually.And a lot of the work of writing doesn't involve writing at all.“For the longest time, I couldn't give myself permission to think. I kept thinking that if I wasn't producing something, that if I didn't have words on the page, that I wasn't being productive or effective,” Benji explains. “But then all of a sudden, I realized that the amount of time that I was spending just brainstorming… and letting ideas marinate proved to have an effect on quality in the long run.”There's room in the writing scene for all types of writers and their methods — which is one of the reasons why Benji and I co-founded online literary magazine Gutwrench Journal. Tune in for a great conversation about making space for new voices, the drawbacks of writing groups, and which soap operas reign supreme.In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode of the podcast,‌ ‌you'll discover:‌ ‌Why we need intentional, inclusive spaces for new and underrepresented voicesHow your writing tools affect how you write — and exercises to help improve your craftThe programs and tools Benji used while writing his novelAbout Benji CarrGrowing up in the South with cerebral palsy, Benji Carr developed an eye for the bizarre and quirky, which provided the stories he told his friends and family with a bit of flavor.

The first event in its 2017 “Memorial Drive” series with a program about two dynamic women who decided what films would be shown or banned in Atlanta movie theaters for four decades. Matthew H. Bernstein, Goodrich C. White professor and chair of Emory’s Department of Film & Media Studies, discusses “Controlling Atlanta Screens: Movie Censorship from the 1920s to the 1960s.” The event leads off the 2017 “Memorial Drive” series, a collaboration between ArtsATL.com and Emory’s Rose Library that explores the cultural history of Atlanta. “I am excited about the second season of 'Memorial Drive,’ ” said series coordinator Randy Gue, curator of modern political and historical collections at the Rose Library. “The series unites the Rose Library's unique collections about Atlanta and its past with ArtsATL.com's in-depth coverage of the arts and creativity in the metropolitan area." Bernstein’s talk explores the influence of Mrs. Alonzo Richardson and her successor, Christine Smith Gilliam, who were duty-bound to ban films that depicted unpunished crime or illicit sex as outlined by Hollywood’s Production Code. As movies grew more violent and morally ambiguous, the two women had their hands full, but they were equally focused on barring any depiction of social equality between the races.
