Podcasts about Atwood

Money talk on a parenting podcast? Yes — because financial stress shows up in our relationships with our teens whether we acknowledge it or not. In this episode I sit down with financial planner Lori Atwood to explore why so many of us avoid looking at our finances, how that avoidance leaks into our parenting, and what we can actually do about it. We dig into allowance, buyer's remorse as a teaching tool, prioritizing when college costs feel crushing, and how to model a healthier relationship with money for our kids. This one is practical, honest, and long overdue. Guest Bio: Lori Atwood, CFP® is the founder and CEO of Fearless Finance, a virtual financial planning firm offering expert, fiduciary, hourly guidance with no sales, no minimums, and no judgment.

Since Donald Trump's return to the U.S. presidency, Russia has drastically escalated its missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian cities. In January 2026, launches exceeded 6,000—a sharp increase from approximately 2,000 in January 2025. The use of guided aerial bombs (KABs) also reached a record high of almost 6,000 per month. With the Trump administration significantly cutting military aid to Kyiv, Ukraine now finds itself in an increasingly vulnerable position. What are the underlying causes of this policy shift, and what does it reveal about Trump's vision for global order and human rights? *** Explaining Ukraine is a podcast by UkraineWorld, an English-language media outlet covering Ukraine.

Perjantaistudio kokoaa vakioraatilaiset Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seuran arkiston johtaja Outi Hupaniitun, filosofi Tuomas Nevanlinnan ja toimittaja Matti H Virtasen ajankohtaisten kulttuurin, median ja arvokysymysten äärelle. Pia-Maria Lehtola juontaa. Ohjelman aluksi käsitellään kansanedustaja Päivi Räsäsen osallistumista Yhdysvaltain kongressin kuulemiseen ja keskustellaan sananvapauden rajoista sekä ilmiön vaikutuksista Suomi-kuvaan. Vaikuttaako maga-liike Euroopan sananvapauteen Räsäsnen kaltaisten avulla? Seuraavaksi pureudutaan Jeffrey Epstein -skandaaliin ja pohditaan vallan, rahan ja moraalin yhteyksiä sekä median roolia tapauksen käsittelyssä. Epstein-skandaalin mittasuhteet kelpaisivat jo ennätysten kirjaan. Miten vallakkaat, kuuluisat ja rikkaat eivät tiedostaneet ajoissa mainevaaraan riskiä? Orwell, Atwood, Roth.... Studiossa nostetaan esiin myös poliittisen fiktion ja dystopiaromaanien merkitys. Keskustelussa arvioidaan, miten kaunokirjallisuus voi toimia yhteiskunnallisena varoituksena ja millainen rooli kirjallisuudella on poliittisessa keskustelussa. Lisäksi ohjelmassa käsitellään historiallista tutkimusta vainajien jäänteistä (kuten Kaarina Maununtytär) sekä pohditaan, miten suhtautuminen kuolemaan ja kehoon on muuttunut. Lopuksi keskustellaan muutoksen tunnistamisesta, mukavuudenhalusta ja muutosvastarinnasta niin yksilö- kuin yhteiskuntatasolla. Miksi ihmiset heräävät muutokseen aina liian myöhään?

Join Lionel for a wild ride through the eccentric and the unexplained. The night kicks off with a diagnosis of "Atwood's Disease"—the compulsion to yell out punchlines or state the painfully obvious—and a look at which rock stars are aging gracefully versus those who might need a welfare check. Things get gritty with a listener's "dead serious" tale of inadvertently delivering a truckload of rats to a Buffalo food processing plant, sparking Lionel's own traumatic memories of glue traps.The hour shifts gears to the extraterrestrial, fueled by reports of a mysterious "Dorito-shaped aircraft" over Area 51. Lionel opens the lines to eyewitnesses who describe everything from "bouncing white balls" in Nevada to "cigar-shaped" craft and silent, floating "subway trains" over Staten Island. The episode culminates in a heated debate with a skeptic who insists UFOs are just weather balloons, leading Lionel to question why aliens would ever want to talk to us anyway.

Is 2026 the year of global conflict escalation? In this in-depth conversation, Richard Atwood, Executive VP of International Crisis Group and host of Hold Your Fire! podcast, discusses the top 10 conflicts to watch in 2026 and how Trump's foreign policy is reshaping global order. Richard Atwood, one of the world's leading conflict analysis and prevention experts, draws on 20+ years of field research across 50+ war zones (Ukraine, Gaza, Venezuela, Syria) to explain: • Venezuela: a dramatic US raid, but no clear ‘day after' • Latin America: pressure politics over intervention wars • Greenland: how seriously should Europe take Trump? • Europe & NATO: defence burden-shifting and US unpredictability • Ukraine: diplomacy stalled, deterrence doing the heavy lifting • China-Taiwan: mixed signals, high stakes • Iran: regime under pressure, options narrowing • Israel-Palestine: ceasefire without resolution, West Bank escalation • Syria: Assad gone, opportunity or new instability? • Gulf politics: Saudi-UAE tensions beneath the surface • Sudan-Yemen: neglected wars reshaping the region Advising UN, EU, US State Dept and cited by world leaders, Atwood delivers unfiltered analysis on rules-based order collapse, Trump 2.0 impact, and which wars pose the greatest global threat.

Podcast decorrente de uma entrevista detalhada com a conceituada autora canadiana Margaret Atwood, realizada aquando do lançamento das suas memórias intituladas Book of Lives. A escritora reflete sobre a sua trajetória pessoal, desde a infância isolada nas florestas do norte até aos desafios financeiros que enfrentou antes de alcançar o sucesso literário. Durante a conversa, Atwood aborda temas contemporâneos como a resistência política, os riscos da vigilância tecnológica e o impacto da inteligência artificial na criatividade humana. A autora discute ainda o ressurgimento da relevância de The Handmaid's Tale no atual cenário social e partilha a sua visão pragmática sobre o legado artístico. Com um tom simultaneamente aguçado e esperançoso, ela analisa a crise de identidade masculina na era digital e a necessidade de persistência numa carreira literária. O texto oferece, assim, um retrato íntimo de uma das mentes mais influentes do nosso tempo perante as transformações do século XXI.

If you're not hungry already, today’s show is bound to whet your appetite. Host Ali Muldrow speaks with local foodie, Lindsay Christians, about all the good eats of 2025. They talk about what bars, cafes, food carts, fast casual chains, and bakeries closed and opened in 2025, and what they're looking forward to in 2026. There's a lot of promise on the horizon: from the opening of Ahan's new companion bar across from their current location on Willy St., Ledger Coffee Roaster's new location on Winnebago St., Baked Lab's new brick and mortar in Atwood, and Hot & Spicy's new, larger location next door to Viet Hoa Market. And Christians breaks down the desert spots–by desert variety, no less–that she's looking forward to. They also talk about food journalism, what goes into writing a food review, and why Christians avoids takeout food. Lindsay Christians is the food and culture editor at The Capital Times in Madison, Wisconsin. She is the author of two books, “Madison Chefs: Stories of Food, Farms and People” and “The Osteria Papavero Cookbook: Recipes from the Italian shack and beyond” with Francesco Mangano.

Zum Jahresende blicken die Literaturagenten zurück auf die Schönen Lesungen des Jahres 2026: erinnern sich an besondere Momente, erhellende Aussagen, Lesepassagen, die das Publikum im Großen Sendesaal berührten, nachdenklich stimmten, zum Lachen brachten. Zu hören sind u.a. Daniel Kehlmann, Wolf Haas, Maren Kroymann mit einer Lesung von Margaret Atwood, Dota Kehr und Volker Weidermann in der Hommage an Mascha Kaléko, Albrecht Schuch und Martin Wuttke in der Lesung aus "Westend" von Volker Kutscher und Kat Mensch, Ian McEwan, Ocean Vuong und Sabin Tambrea.

  Host Marcia Franklin talks with author Margaret Atwood about her work, which includes the bestselling novel, "The Handmaid's Tale" and its sequel, "The Testaments." Atwood also shares her thoughts on whether the United States could head towards totalitarianism. The conversation was recorded at the 2024 Sun Valley Writers' Conference.

Snak-Lytter Cem kaldte Star Maker “storslået, tidskrævende, men mindblowing”. Han havde ret på alle tre punkter. Storslået? Absolut. Syret? Uden tvivl. Men også en rigtig hård mundfuld at komme igennem. Fra lyngbakke til galaktisk bevidsthed Bogen starter forbløffende jordnært. En unavngiven englænder sidder en aften i 1937 på en bakke og betragter stjernerne, mens han tænker på sit liv og sit ægteskab. Hans kone sidder inde i det oplyste hus. Men så sker der noget radikalt: Hans bevidsthed løsriver sig fra kroppen, og pludselig kan han se gennem jorden – gennem klipperne, gennem planetens kerne – og ud i kosmos. “Looking down, I seemed to see through a transparent planet, through heather and solid rock, through the buried graveyards of vanished species, down through the molten flow of basalt, and on into the earth’s core of iron. But our home had vanished with the whole suburb, and the hills too, and the sea.” Her begynder den mest ekstreme kosmiske rejse i science fiction-historien. Først tilbringer hovedpersonen lang tid alene i det tomme rum, deprimeret og ensom. Men så opdager han The Other Earth – en planet befolket med menneskelignende væsener, der har lange ben, flade hoveder, og som lugter gennem hænderne. De har ikke meget musik, men til gengæld har de duftradio, hvor man kan opleve andres seksuelle oplevelser gennem lugten. Ja, det er præcis så syret, som det lyder. “In compensation, scent and taste developed amazingly. These beings tasted not only with their mouths, but with their moist black hands and with their feet. They were thus afforded an extraordinarily rich and intimate experience of their planet.” Hovedpersonen opdager, at han kan glide ind i de fremmedes hoveder. Han bosætter sig i kraniet på en halskør filosof ved navn Bvallthu, og gradvist smelter de sammen til en fælles personlighed. Fra denne sammensmelting vokser noget langt større. Hive minds, intelligente stjerner og kosmisk teambuilding Stapledon stopper ikke ved én planet. Nej nej. Vores hovedperson møder plantemennesker, insektlignende sværme (hvor enkeltindividet er dumt, men sværmen udgør en intelligens), symbiontiske krabber og edderkopper. Og – naturligvis – intelligente stjerner, der ikke bare kredser om den galaktiske kerne, men faktisk danser og kommunikerer med hinanden i kosmisk poesi. Hele tiden udvides den kollektive bevidsthed. Først én planet. Så flere. Så hele galakser. Stapledon bruger disse møder til at reflektere over civilisationers cykliske udviklinger. Igen og igen ser vi samfund, der når et vist niveau af udvikling, hvorefter det hele bryder sammen i konflikt og krig, og de må starte forfra. Stapledon – filosof, pacifist og ambulancefører under Første Verdenskrig – havde tydeligvis nogle meninger om 1930’ernes Europa. Duftradio-beskrivelserne lugter af propaganda-kritik. Men alle disse civilisationer, alle disse møder, peger mod ét mål. Mødet med den kolde skaber Bogens klimaks er mødet med Star Maker – universets skaber. Men det er ikke et kærligt, varmt møde med en omsorgsfuld gud. Nej, Star Maker betragter sit kosmos med den kliniske interesse, en kunstner har for sit værk. Han noterer fejlene. Føler ingen stolthed. For det her kosmos er bare ét eksperiment i en lang række. Star Maker er stadig i udvikling – fra baby-starmaker, der lavede legetøjsuniverser (ét univers bestod kun af musik uden rumlige dimensioner!), til mester-starmaker, der skaber stadigt mere komplekse kosmosser. Vores univers? Meh, et mellemstadie med “irrevocable flaws”. “For I had been confronted not by welcoming and kindly love, but by a very different spirit. It seemed to me that he gazed down on me from the height of his divinity with the aloof though passionate attention of an artist judging his finished work, calmly rejoicing in its achievement, but recognizing at last the irrevocable flaws.” En teologisk vision, både fascinerende og foruroligende. C.S. Lewis hadede den så meget, at han kaldte den “amoralsk” og skrev sin Space Trilogy som modsvar. Men Arthur C. Clarke elskede den og kaldte den den mest indflydelsesrige bog i sit liv. Efter mødet vender vores hovedperson tilbage til bakken, til lyngen, til konen i huset. Men nu med et radikalt ændret perspektiv på menneskehedens plads i kosmos. Og hans kone? Hun må have været bekymret. Han har været væk i milliarder af år – selvom der kun er gået et øjeblik. En bog der ikke er en bog Stapledon skriver selv i forordet, at bogen “by the standards of the novel, is remarkably bad. In fact, it is no novel at all.” Og han har ret. Intet plot. Ingen karakterudvikling. Ingen dialog. Bare en filosofisk meditation, en kosmisk traktat, en 300 siders stream of consciousness. Sproget er tungt – næsten 100 år gammelt og tit vanskeligt at følge. Som Anders siger: “Det føltes som en bog, der var skrevet 100 år før den faktisk blev skrevet.” Gang på gang beskriver Stapledon nye planeter, nye racer, nye samfund – som alle gennemgår de samme cyklusser. På et tidspunkt begynder man at skimme. Anders indrømmer blankt, at han “skimmede 10-20 sider ad gangen” gennem store dele af bogen. Men den er også fuld af idéer, som formede science fiction: Hive minds, galaktiske imperier, intelligente stjerner, telepatisk kommunikation, multivers-teorier. Kim Stanley Robinson sagde det bedst: “Every few pages contain all the material of an ordinary science fiction novel, condensed to something like prose poetry.” Vurderingen Jens: ⭐ (én stjerne). “Jeg havde ikke læst den færdig, hvis det ikke var for Sci-Fi Snak. Det er simpelthen killeren på en bog. Jeg kan godt se, at der ligger kvaliteter i den, men den er utrolig træls og langsomt skrevet. Jeg havde absencer, mens jeg læste.” Anders: ⭐⭐ (to stjerner – men med et spaltet sind). “De første 100 sider var smukke og poetiske. Den 17-årige hippie Anders indeni mig blev vakt til live af den kropsløse bevidsthedsrejse i kosmos. Men så blev det repetitivt. Jeg var tæt på at forsvinde helt ud af bogen.” En bog for alle? Næppe. “Hvis ikke jeg var 100% sikker på, at Henning allerede havde læst den, så ville jeg nok anbefale den til Henning,” griner Anders. Men hvis du er forfatter og leder efter idéer? Så er Star Maker en idébank uden lige. Arthur C. Clarke, Asimov, Le Guin og Kim Stanley Robinson lod sig alle inspirere. Og hvis du vil have en special science fiction-oplevelse – lidt spirituel filosofi, lidt mind-blowing kosmisk vision, lidt Iron Man læseoplevelse – så kan Star Maker være noget for dig. Jens og Anders har SCIFI SNAKKET Star Maker. Shownotes til episoden om Star Maker Siden sidst Jens Er totalt gået i Mick Herron-læsemode og læser spionthrillers Ser Pluribus på Apple TV – “Jeg er så glad for den, jeg næsten kan finde på at stå lidt tidligere op fredag morgen for at se et afsnit” Anders Har læst Dream Hotel af Laila Lalami – en bog om predictive policing og AI-drevne drømmeanalyser Hovedpersonen bliver tilbageholdt på et “opbevaringshotel” for folk, der måske vil begå forbrydelser i fremtiden (kafkask, men underholdende) Har læst Quantum of Menace af Vaseem Khan – en thriller om Q fra James Bond-universet Ser også Pluribus – “Den er crazy god” Lytternes input Fra Goodreads: Steen spørger om lydbogstjenester til bilkørsel. E-reolen og Libby har gratis biblioteksmaterialer (danske og engelske). Mofibo har et stort sci-fi-katalog. Og så er der selvfølgelig Audible. Julerabat fra Science Fiction Cirklen: Lise tilbyder en decemberrabat på den danske udgave af Stjernemageren – 200 kr. i stedet for 298 kr. Det er faktisk ret fedt, at den findes på dansk! (sciencefiction.dk) Rettelse: David Mondrup, som anbefalede Zoi, er ikke Jane Mondrups mand – de er fætter og kusine. Undskyld, David! (Episode 99 af LæsDen! handler i øvrigt om Zoi) Mail fra Søren Bjørn-Hansen: Søren skrev fra sit sygeleje, hvor Sci-Fi Snak var “en tryg favn når febervildelserne raser”. Han gav input om Arthur C. Clarke og geostationære satellitter – Clarke skrev om kommunikationssatellitter i Wireless World i 1945 og forudså atomdrevne raketter inden for 20 år. Sådan gik det ikke helt. Søren foreslog også, at vi læser James Coreys The Mercy of Gods (den nye bog fra teamet bag Expanse-serien). Næste gang Anders vælger: Naomi Aldermans The Future (2023) – en nærfremtids-thriller om tech-milliardærer, der får en advarsel fra deres predictive software: apokalypsen er på vej, og de skal ned i deres hemmelige bunkere. Samtidig følger vi Lai Zhen, der pludselig bliver jagtet af en lejemorder og kun overlever takket være mystisk software på hendes telefon. Margaret Atwood kalder den “gripping”. Lauren Beukes: “A little Atwood, a little Gibson, all Alderman, it’s brilliant.” Alistair Reynolds: “A rollicking, fun-packed thriller.” Vi håber på en page-turner efter Stapledons filosofiske sejtrækker. Bonus-anbefaling: Se Guillermo del Toros nye filmatisering af Frankenstein på Netflix – der skulle være ret bognær. Måske vender vi tilbage til det senere.

George Packer is one of the most celebrated non-fiction writers on contemporary America. So why, in his new book The Emergency, has he turned to fiction? You'd think, after all, that MAGA America's surrealism would be an ideal nonfictional canvas for a writer with Packer's observational gifts. But, as Packer explains, when facts fail a society, then - like Orwell or Atwood - a writer might be obliged to turn to fiction. This emergency, then, begot The Emergency. This is a public episode.

Margaret Atwood is one of the most famous and prolific authors of the modern era. Though best known for her 1985 hit “The Handmaid's Tale,” her dozens of works span literary genres — poetry, novels, children's books, essays, short stories — and often defy neat categorization. Now, at 86, Atwood has written her first memoir. At roughly 600 pages, it's an intimate look at the ways her personal life inspired and shaped her writing.  Kara and Atwood talk about her lifelong passion for the outdoors, how she decided to become a poet when she was just a teenager, and her reputation for having an eerie prescience about major world events. They also talk about Atwood's fears about the Trump administration's use of power, and why she still considers herself to be a hopeful person despite her predilection for dark stories.  Questions?

Best-selling author Margaret Atwood says she originally rejected the idea of writing a memoir. But she warmed up to the idea after she began to think of a memoir as a recollection of “stupid things you did, near-death events, catastrophes, and surprising highlights and jokes.” Now, at age 85, Atwood is out with Book of Lives. In today's episode, she joins NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer for a conversation that touches on the difference between memoir and biography, Canadian identity, and writing from the perspective of an “Inner Advice Columnist.”To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Back in 2021, Margaret Atwood came on the show to give her dark take on the American future. Four years later, Atwood's prescience, particularly in her 1985 classic The Handmaid's Tale, is increasingly self-evident. As the journalist Irin Carmon notes, MAGA America has become an Atwoodian dystopia of trad wives and state fecundity. But it is also, Carmon warns in her new book Unbearable, a place that actively discriminates against pregnant women, especially those of color. American women are dying in childbirth at three times the rate of their peers in other wealthy nations. Even in liberal New York City, Black women are nine to twelve times likelier to die than white women. So MAGA America is simultaneously fetishizing and punishing fecundity—celebrating “Trump babies” while jailing pregnant women who test positive for drugs. Forget the trad wives. The problem lies with the trad men making pregnancy so unbearable in America today.1. America's Maternal Mortality Crisis Is a National Disgrace American women die in childbirth at three times the rate of their peers in other wealthy nations. In New York City—one of the world's wealthiest cities—Black women are nine to twelve times likelier to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. For every death, there are 60-70 cases of severe maternal morbidity, including hemorrhage, sepsis, and hysterectomy.2. MAGA's Pronatalism Is Rooted in White Supremacy The natalist ideology espoused by RFK Jr., JD Vance, Elon Musk, and Trump himself is explicitly linked to eugenics and deportation. As Carmon notes, “We want our people to have babies” is something you hear openly from MAGA leaders. They celebrate “Trump babies” while considering children born to immigrants as not truly American—making fertility central to their white supremacist project.3. Pregnancy Has Been Criminalized in America Since Dobbs, there have been 412 pregnancy-related arrests in the United States, about half of them in Alabama alone. Women are being jailed for testing positive for drugs while pregnant—not offered addiction treatment, but arrested and held on impossible $10,000 cash bail. Some women don't even know they're pregnant until they're tested upon admission to jail. Their pregnancies become evidence against them.4. The Handmaid's Tale Was Always About American Slavery As Carmon points out, the dystopia Atwood portrayed was already the reality for enslaved Black women in America. The “father of obstetrics and gynecology,” J. Marion Sims, experimented on enslaved women—Anarcha, Betsy, and Lucy—for years without anesthesia or consent. American pregnancy care was founded on the torture of Black women's bodies, and that legacy continues today.5. The Trump Administration Is Erasing the Evidence Trump has effectively canceled PRMS (the pregnancy research monitoring service) that tracks maternal morbidity and mortality nationally. Research grants studying how to improve maternal health are being cut as “DEI violations.” CDC pregnancy data is being deleted from websites. As Carmon warns: you can't solve a problem you're not allowed to document or even count.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

American farmers have faced months of uncertainty after China stopped buying soybeans in retaliation for the White House reciprocal tariffs strategy. Correspondent Cecilia Vega interviews farmers from Tennessee and Missouri who are struggling with high costs and low prices for their crops, and who fear they could be the generation to lose the family farm. President Trump has accused elite universities of liberal bias and antisemitism and has been threatening their federal research funding to pressure them to change. At Harvard University, scientists tell correspondent Bill Whitaker that the government's actions are jeopardizing their research into potentially life-saving advances in medicine and could dismantle America's lead in scientific innovation. Correspondent Jon Wertheim profiles literary titan Margaret Atwood, author of the dystopian classic The Handmaid's Tale. At 85, with 64 books to her name, Canada's best-known author has been called the “prophet of doom” for her uncanny ability to write about catastrophes in her fiction before they happen in real life. Wertheim talks to Atwood about her new memoir, Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts, why she thinks The Handmaid's Tale became a cultural touchstone, and how she refuses to be silenced by an increasing number of bans on her books.

M.N. Lee shares her first novel, Proof of Origin, which we think belongs on bookshelves right next to Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale for near future speculative literature. It follows three main perspectives from a Vietnamese politician, the caucasian wife of a conservative politician, and a mixed-race couple that faces deportation and a new life back in Vietnam together. The prose is compelling, her character building flawless, and the emotional content poignant as they each thread their way through a world of citizenship evaluation and unintended consequences. … Continue...Episode 220 – Interview with M.N.

Margaret Atwood is a living legend. The Canadian author and poet has written over 50 books and has been published in more than 45 countries. Her 1985 classic "The Handmaid's Tale" garnered acclaim and alarm, predicting a dystopian future in which women had no rights. Now in her 80s, she  released her new book, "Old Babes in the Wood," a collection of 15 short stories. Jenna Bush Hager visited Atwood's alma mater, the University of Toronto, where the two sat down to discuss her childhood, career and upcoming memoir. 

Meg Wolitzer presents stories by the incomparable Margaret Atwood, drawn from SELECTED SHORTS' archives and a live performance evening hosted by the author. “There Was Once” is a brief satire about the art of writing and the importance of free speech. It's performed by René Auberjonois, Zach Grenier, and Jane Kaczmarek. “Widows,” performed by Ellen Burstyn, is a delicate and ironic tale in which a recently widowed woman becomes accustomed to her new role. And Atwood is in full dystopian throttle in “Freeforall” where reproductive rights have become a matter of life and death. The reader is Becky Ann Baker. Portions of Atwood's onstage talk with fellow writer A.M. Homes are also featured, and the full interview is available as a bonus on our podcast.

A good rule of thumb is that whatever Margaret Atwood is worried about now, the rest of us will likely be worried about a decade from now. The rise of authoritarianism. A backlash against women's social progress. Climate change leading to social unrest. Advertising permeating more and more of our lives.We originally released this episode back in March 2022. But just like Atwood's work, it somehow only got more relevant with time. Atwood is the author of at least 17 novels, including the classic “The Handmaid's Tale,” as well as 20 books of poetry and nine collections of short fiction. When we spoke, she'd just published an essay collection, “Burning Questions.” And she has a new book coming out this fall, “Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts.”Mentioned:Art & Energy by Barry LordBook recommendations:War by Margaret MacMillanBiased by Jennifer L.
