Podcast appearances and mentions of Bonnie Jo Campbell

¿Qué sería de la industria del libro sin los libreros y libreras? ¿Sin esos emprendedores y emprendedoras que arriesgan sus cuartos para que podemos tener los mejores escaparates y asesoramientos bibliográficos?  El libro necesita de buenas librerías y hoy visitan la Biblioteca de Hoy por Hoy dos de las mejores, Letras Corsarias de Salamanca que ha sido elegida la mejor de 2024 en España. En su nombre nos hablará Antonio Marcos, uno de sus corsarios. Y de Madrid nos llega la librera Laura Riñón de "Amapolas en octubre". Ella era azafata y soñadora de altos vuelos. Entre sus sueños tener un día una librería y desde hace seis años la tiene y es de las mejores de la capital. Con ellos hemos hablado de libro, de muchos libros, y de lectores que son los que a ellos le dan la vida. Entre los libros que nos han donado están 'La sra Dalloway' de Virginia Woolf (Penguin clásicos) , 'El amor en tiempos del cólera' de Gabriel García Márquez (DeBolsillo), donaciones de Laura Riñón,  y Antonio Marcos nos ha dejado en nuestros anaqueles 'Necrosfera' de César Martín Ortiz (Baile del sol) y  'La hermandad de la uva' John Fante (Anagrama). Pero es que además nos han dejado los libros de sus escaparates. En "Amapolas en octubre"  tienen 'James" de Percival Everett (De Conatus), 'Las aguas' de  Bonnie Jo Campbell (Dirty Works) , 'Amada y perdida' de Susan Boyt (Muñeca infinita) , 'Diarios del olvido' de Deleste y 'Las luces azules' de Jennifer Johnston (Automática). Y en el escaparate de "Letras corsarias" 'A toda brida' de Kathryn Scanlan (Errata Naturae), 'Las ocasiones' de Ruben Lardin (Fulgencio Pimentel), 'Lloro porque no tengo sentimientos' de Bárbara Mingo (La navaja Suiza) y 'Cartas a Vicent' de Julio César Pérez (Libros del zorro rojo) .     Nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio, muy picado por la presencia de los libreros, nos trajo 5 libros ideales  para regalar: 'Grandes amores. Veinte parejas inolvidables de la literatura' de Espido Freire e ilustrato por Antono Lorente (Edelvives) , 'Visión de Nueva York' de Carmen Martín Gaite (Siruela), 'En el corazón del bosque' de Lomig (Errata Naturae) , 'Las mil noches y una noche" (A partir de una versión inglesa de Sir Richard Burton) (Reino de Cordelia) y  'Palomar' (1 y 2) de Beto Hernández (La Cúpula). Las primeras novedades del año las trajo Pepe Rubio y fueron 'La Ilíada a la hora del aperitivo' de Giovanni Nucci (Siruela) y 'Que tenga una casa' de Florencia Del Campo (Candaya). Eva Cruz rescató un libro abandonado sobre un armario de la redacción de la SER, una joya titulada  'Quino inédito' de Quino, editado por Lumen, que recoge viñetas menos conocidas del ilustrador y humorista argentino que no solo creó a Mafalda , aunque la fama de esta ocultara el resto de su obra. También Antonio Martínez Asensio nos trajo los  libros de sus programas  'Un libro una hora' y ' Un autor en una hora'  : 'El baile" de Irene Nemirovski (Salamandra)  y  'Caperucita en Manhattan' de Carmen Martín Gaite (Siruela) en ' un libro una hora. Y Antonio Machado en 'Un autor en una hora' . Y finalmente las donaciones de los oyentes: 'Cuentos de la Alhambra"  de Washington Irving (Espasa), 'Una historia propia' de Donna León (Seix Barral)  y 'La piedra lunar' de Wilkie Collins (Belacqua) . 

One of the questions I often get this time of year is who were my favorite interviews and what were my favorite books? This year, the question prompted me to begin digging through my 25+ hours of recordings to find the gems from 2024. I decided to edit some of them together and share them here. Of course, this is just a small sampling and doesn't include Barbara's many treasures. One of my New Year's resolutions is to try doing more reading and less watching. So if you're in that boat too and looking for some good places to start, maybe this episode will help you out. All the complete interviews can be found in our archives at www.writersonwriting.com. Here's a quick list of the authors and books mentioned in this episode: Steve Almond's Truth is the Arrow, Mercy is the Bow, Kevin Barry's The Heart in Winter, Bonnie Jo Campbell's The Waters, Kristin Hannah's The Women, Jonathan Lethem's Brooklyn Crime Novel, Hisham Matar's My Friends, Joyce Maynard's How the Light Gets In, Alice McDermott's Absolution, Ben Shattuck's The History of Sound, Curtis Sittenfeld's Romantic Comedy, and Elizabeth Strout's Tell Me Everything.

Hermine “Herself” Zook is a healer who rules over an island in a swampy area of Michigan known as “The Waters.” People, including her three grown daughters, fear her, but her powerful herbal and plant-based medicines have cured the townspeople for decades of viruses, pains, and unwanted pregnancies. Her first two daughters Molly and Prim were foundlings, but Rose Thorn is the product of Hermine's husband having an affair with Prim before getting kicked off the island. Herself, now nearly eighty, is raising eleven-year-old granddaughter Dorothy “Donkey” Zook. Donkey loves animals and longs for her mother, Rose Thorn, to marry Titus, whom she wants as her father. Donkey is the product of Rose Thorn being raped by Titus's drunk father in this richly nuanced tale of rural poverty, changing landscapes, corporate control of farmland, religious extremism, childhood naivete, and the shaky balance between nature and humanity. Bonnie Jo Campbell's novel The Waters (Norton, 2024) was a Today Show “Read with Jenna” Book Club selection. Her other novels include Once Upon A River, a National Bestseller that was adapted into an award winning film, and Q Road. Campbell's short story collections include American Salvage, which was a finalist for the National Book Award and National Book Critics Circle Award, and Women and Other Animals, an AWP Grace Paley Prize winner. She is a 2011 Guggenheim Fellow, and a recipient of the Eudora Welty Prize and Mark Twain Award. She lives in Kalamazoo with her husband and donkeys.  Learn more about your ad choices.

New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award Finalist Bonnie Jo Campbell joins BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss THE WATERS, her newest release! This novel takes place on an island in the Great Massasauga Swamp―an area known as “The Waters” to the residents of nearby Whiteheart, Michigan―herbalist and eccentric Hermine “Herself” Zook has healed the local women of their ailments for generations. She's also raised three very different young women in this wild environment. We talked about the needs, the dreams, the heartache, the obstacles, the perseverance…and the victories of being a woman.

They talk about character development and what makes characters unique, referencing both Jungian psychotherapists Robert A. Johnson and James Hillman (author of The Soul's Code).

Hi! I am so happy to share my podcast interview with the esteemed Southern writer George Singleton. We delved into some serious subjects: the legacy of racism in the South, gun control, and substance abuse, but despite all of that, we managed to laugh every now and then because he is hilarious! (And I said the word "interesting" about a gazillion times--Why? Why did I keep saying the same word over and over again as if I was malfunctioning?) Anyway, George taught me a lot about persevering despite the fact that he (like many of us) gets sick of his own voice. He shared an anecdote about working with C. Michael Curtis of "The Atlantic Monthly" that shocked and delighted me. We laughed about that too. Please read his story, "I'm Down Here on the Floor," before you listen to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, Audible, or wherever you get your podcasts. My apologies to StorySouth. I forgot to mention where the story was published during the podcast, but this is actually the second story in a row from StorySouth.

I think the paywall might be down now (?), but I subscribe to that magazine, so someone needs to let me know. *Warning: There is some profanity on this episode, folks. See you next month when I'll be talking to Bonnie Jo Campbell about her story, "Boar Taint," from The Kenyon Review.

Paper Cuts LIVE! Episode 54 HERE IN THE DARK from Shotgun Honey Books is the debut short story collection from award winning author Meagan Lucas! Join us for the exclusive cover reveal and author chat. We will also be joined by special guest, author Laurel Hightower. "HERE IN THE DARK, the first collection from award-winning author Meagan Lucas, is a gritty genre blending wallop of short stories, set mostly in Southern Appalachia, that explore the female experience of lawlessness. In the tradition of Dorothy Allison and Bonnie Jo Campbell, Lucas tackles, with unsettling honesty: poverty, addiction, motherhood, and social justice in an increasingly troubled cultural climate. These are character-driven stories about crime, but less a who-done-it mystery and more a meditation on how the vulnerable navigate a world devoid of true justice. Unflinching in its gaze, HERE IN THE DARK is an ambitious collection from a bold and empathetic storyteller. Perceptive, intimate, and brave, these sixteen stories encompass shame and forgiveness, loss and redemption, oppression and revolution, and signal a new way of thinking about power and trauma. In "Voluntary Action," a sheriff's deputy witnesses the overdose of a high school friend in her custody. In "Buttons," a little girl, bullied by the neighbor boy, gets her revenge with a needle and thread. In "Sitting Ducks," a hurricane bears down on mothers, daughters, and sisters in an un-evacuated women's prison. In "Asylum" an immigrant woman, suffering a terrible loss, sees ghosts in the hotel and houses that she cleans. In "Hell, or High Water" a young woman with Stockholm syndrome is abandoned by her kidnapper deep in the woods of Western North Carolina. And in "Here in the Dark," a newly clean addict is given the opportunity to start over with her son if only she'll snitch on her former lover and pimp, but discovers, of course, it's not that simple. Blending Lucas' musical prose with high-tension stakes, and resonant characters, HERE IN THE DARK is a collection not to be missed." Visit us at: https://www.papercutslive.com

Amanda and Jenn discuss talking cats, dog books for toddlers, defeating internalized racism and sexism, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked.

Feedback Moloka‘i by Alan Brennert (rec’d by Lauren) The Moon–Spinners by Mary Stewart (rec’d by Kelly) A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes and Ariadne by Jennifer Saint (rec’d by Hannah) Questions 1. Let me preface by stating, for the record, that I fully realize how ridiculous this question is. :-p  I adopted a senior cat not too long ago, and after many years of thinking I was a dog person I’ve realized that, in my heart of hearts, I am absolutely a cat person.  I love that they have moods, and can be a total sweetheart one moment and a complete butthead the next. Anyway, on your recommendation I recently read Sabriel. I really enjoyed it, and hands down my favorite character was Mogget (because of course it was).  Can you recommend any other books in which a cat is one of the main characters? Especially if a) they are a talking cat and b) they are kind of snarky or a smart aleck/jerk?  Mimi Lee Gets a Clue is already on my TBR list, but any other recs in any genre are welcome. Thank you! -Diane 2. Hi guys, I’m currently in the process of curating my book list for summer. I just finished We Were Liars and am honestly devastated. I was entranced the whole way through. The setting, dialogue and characters were vivid. The writing had an air of poetry that I loved. The plot was wildly intriguing, slowly unfolding piece by piece. I am wanting something else like it. Other books I’ve read that I’ve enjoyed are The Mothers, Ask Again, Yes and Little Fires Everywhere. Please help me find something like this! Thanks! -Emily 3. I am going to Michigan for vacation in July with my two best friends. I would love a book set there. We will be going to Mackinac Island and Frankenmuth in particular. If you know of any fiction or non fiction set in those areas or around. I am aware of the movie / novel Somewhere in Time as that is a large reason I am going there -Lauren 4. Hi! I’m looking for a book series for a 7 year old who’s really digging the Princess in Black and the Princess Pulverizer books (she’s been toting them around like pirate booty). I’m pretty sure you guys have answered a similar question in the past and I dug through about 20 past episodes, but can’t seem to find it! Any help would be much appreciated!! -Kristi 5. My toddler is currently obsessed with dogs.  She seeks them out on our walks, wants to help do ALL of the doggy chores for our pups at home, etc.  I am looking for books featuring dogs to get for her.  We have read most of the Good Dog Carl books, Pig the Pug, Skippy Jon Jones, and also a board book called Doggies.  Do you have any other dog books that you think a 13 month old would enjoy?   -Marelis 6. I have a friend who grew up loving vampire books but doesn’t read them any more because the relationships are always *problematic*. Any recs for more recent vampire books that avoid or undermine the bad tropes, specifically creepy age differences, iffy coercion and consent issues and lots of gaslighting and manipulation? She really liked how those issues were handled in the Daevabad series and she also loves the Greta Helsing books, Good Omens, and anything Witchy. Steampunk vibes, queer characters and F/F romance is always a plus.  -Margot 7. Hi! I’ve been looking for books specifically on internalized misogyny and internalized racism to help my family understand how they’ve absorbed harmful ideals and aren’t immune to perpetrating white supremacy, anti-blackness, and sexism. We’re a hispanic family, but I can tell some of my family members don’t quite understand how entrenched they are in white supremacist beliefs. I haven’t seen anything just yet on this particular topic in books about race so if anyone has any suggestions I’d be super grateful! -Ashley Books Discussed Chilling Adventures of Sabrina comics by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Robert Hack The Song of the Lioness Quartet (Alanna: The First Adventure #1) by Tamora Pierce If We Were Villains by ML Rio (tw: domestic violence) The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma (tw: death by suicide, lots of body-shaming) Snowed In by Rachel Hawthorne Once Upon A River by Bonnie Jo Campbell (tw: violence against women and children including rape, graphic violence, drug abuse) Mia Mayhem series (#1 Mia Mayhem is a Superhero) by Kara West and Leeza Hernandez Chronicles of Claudette (Giants, Beware! #1) by Jorge Aguirre and Rafael Rosado et al Stormy by Guojing Zorro and Mister Bud (Say Hello to Zorro!) by Carter Goodrich Better Off Red by Rebekah Weatherspoon Iron & Velvet by Alexis Hall For the Love of Men by Liz Plank Me and White Supremacy by Layla F.

“Cowpoke” es una de las tonadas clásicas de vaqueros de Stan Jones, el actor y compositor de Arizona al que le debemos canciones como "Ghost Riders in the Sky". Jones murió de cáncer en 1963 pero su legado en la iconografía de los cowboys no se ha borrado. Colter Wall ha recuperado “Cowpoke” para adjuntarla a su último álbum, Western Swing & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs, que debutó la semana pasada en el octavo puesto de las listas de country y el tercero de las de Folk/Americana, pero que resultó ser el que más vendió en soportes físicos con un amplio margen. Este nativo de Saskatchewan, en Canadá, de 25 años, ha elegido en su tercer álbum ser más severo al revitalizar la tradición del Western y homenajear a los cowboys. Su voz inimitable hace que, al escucharla, te detengas y le prestes toda la atención. La actualidad de la Americana está impregnada de tradición seminal y de un cierto universo cinematográfico que representa fielmente Charley Crockett en su último álbum, Welcome To Hard Times, y especialmente en canciones como “Fool Somebody Else”. Esta vez es una mezcla de influencias siempre equilibrada por la predominancia del Western como eje central. Aunque la letra pueda hacernos pensar que trata sobre una relación amorosa, la realidad es que Charley Crockett vuelve a referirse a sus problemas de salud que le obligaron a operarse a corazón abierto a comienzos del pasado año. Kalen Nash compuso “Loving You Still”, uno de los momentos mágicos de Back Of Our Minds, el debut de Kalen & Aslyn, el dúo que forma el matrimonio de Athens, en Georgia. En realidad parece que estuviéramos ante un diario sonoro en el que se han reflejado sus experiencias de la última década. Tras distintas vivencias individuales, la pareja decidió resumir una relación desordenada, imperfecta y claramente honesta como la suya a modo de capítulos de una novela. El resultado final es una fusión natural de los sonidos cálidos de los últimos 60 y primeros 70 en el sur de California. Kalen & Aslyn, que también han producido el proyecto, dejan canciones seductoras del estilo de “Loving You Still”, combinando sus armonías a la perfección. “Grit and Grace” habla de superación, determinación y fe en poder tener un final feliz. Es una canción basada en la historia real de un prisionero de guerra que la madre del vocalista Buddy Melton escribió junto a Milan Miller y Beth Husband. Da nombre genérico al nuevo álbum de Balsam Range, la banda de Haywood County, en Carolina del Norte, que mantiene el arraigo como fundamento de su carrera, que ha obtenido el amplio reconocimiento de la escena del bluegrass manteniendo su genuina dedicación a las historias sobre personas reales. Regresan a nuestro tiempo de radio Steep Canyon Rangers, con un nuevo trabajo como Arm in Arm, que ya anticipamos hace un par de meses. Se trata del primer disco de la banda grabado fuera de su estado natal en sus 20 años de historia. Esta vez se han acercado a los estudios Southern Ground de Nashville para seguir rindiendo homenaje a las tradiciones más vitales del bluegrass, aun cuando siguen explorando nuevas rutas sonoras. “Honey On My Tongue” pudiera sonar como un tema de ruptura, pero en realidad trata sobre las dificultades de la paternidad. Hace un año este “Bad Guy” formó parte del álbum One Light Town de Casey Donahew y en estas fechas se ha convertido en una de las canciones favoritas de las emisoras tejanas. Trata sobre un tipo egoista que reconoce no ser perfecto. El músico de Burleson ha conseguido gracias a una ejemplar constancia en sus 18 años de carrera ser uno de los artistas más considerados de la escena independiente del Lone Star State donde ha publicado nueve álbumes. Once Upon A River es una película que cuenta la odisea de Margo Crane, una joven nativa americana que viaja a lo largo del río Stark, en busca de su madre, de la que fue separada. Con tintes de Huckleberry Finn, la novela de Bonnie Jo Campbell ha pasado al cine gracias a Haroula Rose, artista musical y cineasta de Chicago con ascendencia griega que vivió durante una temporada en Madrid, algo que nunca ha olvidado y que presentó internacionalmente la cinta en el Festival de Mallorca. El próximo 2 de octubre será la fecha de su estreno definitivo. Además de la partitura de Zac Rae, músicos como J.D. Souther o Will Oldham han incorporado temas propios. Rodney Crowell compuso una nueva canción para su banda sonora. Es “The Damage”, lo primero que nos ha regalado el artista tejano tras su imponente álbum Texas de hace un año. Crecido en Greenville, Mississippi, y fascinado por el blues más tradicional y el jazz, Steve Azar estuvo de gira con Bob Seger hace años, olvidó su paso por la escena de Nashville en la segunda mitad de los 90 y se ha dedicado a concentrarse en la composición y el reencuentro con sus raíces. Su último álbum, My Mississippi Reunion,se publicará a finales de octubre cuenta con invitados como el batería, guitarrista, cantante y compositor de blues Cedric Burnside en "Coldwater". Nació en Memphis, Tennessee, es hijo del también batería de blues Calvin Jackson y nieto del guitarrista R. L. Burnside. The Waiting es un EP monumental, fruto de la incontinencia artística de un trovador tejano como Wade Bowen, uno de los sustentos esenciales de la Red Dirt Music. Después de regalarnos el segundo volumen de Hold My Beer, un disco indispensable junto a Randy Rogers, ha publicado por sorpresa seis canciones que parecen ser una primera entrega de todo lo que ha estado grabando durante los últimos meses de aislamiento. The Waiting lo componen cuatro de sus canciones aparecidas en sus álbumes en vivo que nunca había grabado en el estudio, una composición que escribió hace tiempo junto a su amigo Brent Cobb y una versión de “I Wish It Would Rain Down”, su canción favorita de Phil Collins. “Get Away” la habíamos escuchado en su segundo álbum, The Blue Light Live, grabado en directo en 2003 en la popular sala de Lubbock. Ahora, Wade Bowen y su banda la grabaron juntos en New Braunfels, Texas, y posteriormente músicos de Austin y Nashville agregaron steel, coros y teclados, enviando sus partes por correo electrónico. También llegará en octubre Forever Better Worse, la nueva apuesta de Great Peacock, el trío de Nashville que parece buscar una versión sureña del clásico Heartland rock. Se fueron a los estudios Sound Emporium de Music Row para grabar las bases fundamentales del trabajo y se recluyeron posteriormente en casa de Blount Floyd, el segundo guitarrista del grupo, para culminar con un tinte mucho más personal que en sus discos precedentes. Incluso han contado con invitados amigos como Adam Kurtz, antiguo miembro de American Aquarium, y Sadler Vaden de la 400 Unit de Jason Isbell. “Heavy Load” se nos antoja una canción expresiva del momento presente en el que la interiorización personal ha tomado el protagonismo. Es un tema de amor irrenunciable a pesar de sus dificultades. Capitalizar la herencia recibida no es una labor sencilla. Esa parece ser la tarea que se han impuesto Devon Allman y Duane Betts hijos respectivos de Gregg Allman y Dickey Betts con la Allman Betts Band, a la que también se ha unido el bajista Berry Oakley Jr. — hijo de Berry Oakley, el que fuera también miembro de The Allman Brothers Band. El año pasado debutaron con Down to the River y ahora han publicado su segundo álbum, Bless Your Heart, manteniendo evidentes guiños a ciertos acordes siempre recordados de las guitarras de la mítica banda de southern rock. Ese es el corsé que se sigue evidenciando en sus grabaciones, el estar demasiado responsabilizados por sus apellidos. El famoso “peso de la púrpura”. Y posiblemente sea ese peso el que les impide explorar con más intensidad su propia personalidad. “Rivers Run” juguetea con acordes fácilmente reconocibles y deja un regusto enternecedor, pero posiblemente el septeto tenga que aventurarse por descubrir su propio camino. La despedida del programa nos lleva de nuevo al Forum de Inglewood, cuando los Eagles, ya sin Glenn Frey actuaron durante tres días, a mediados de septiembre de 2018. Ahora se ha resumido en Live From The Forum MMXVIII que se editará el 16 de octubre en varios formatos. Al trío superviviente de la banda californiana se añadieron Deacon Frey, hijo de Glenn y Vince Gill, un músico que por sí mismo ha tejido un tapiz imponente dentro de la country music durante décadas. Y para interpretar “Lyin’ Eyes”, un tema mítico de One Of These Nights siempre ligado a Frey, que solía dedicárselo a su ex-mujer, fue Vince Gill quien se hizo cargo de la voz solista con una solvencia absoluta.

Interview with Bonnie Jo Campbell and Haroula Rose author of book, and director and writer for film respectively. A fascinating look into the movie and the machinations of book to film adaptation and a must listen for a great film.

Amanda and Jenn discuss bread-making, nonfiction for teens, survival stories and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by A Selfie As Big as The Ritz by Lara Williams and The Bride Who Got Lucky by Janna MacGregor.   Questions 1. Hi! I recently got into baking and was wondering if you have any great bread making cook books. Just bread, not baking in general. If it’s from a famous bakery, that would be nice! Thanks a ton! P.S. an email reply will suffice :) --Elena   2. TIME SENSITIVE: I am a recent convert to the world of Romance, but I am feeling overwhelmed. I had tried different things over the years but just never found something that felt like MY romance. And then I discovered Penny Reid. I read Truth or Beard and then promptly flew through the rest of the existing Winston Brothers series, and now I am flying just as quickly through the Knitting In The City Books. But...I'm almost out, and it will be months before her next book is out. I love how smart, sweet, and nerdy her books are, while still being plenty hot and having a great plot in addition to the romance. Definitely looking for a contemporary setting, and love the feel of the interconnected friend/family saga with each book focusing on one member of the group. This request is time sensitive as I'm getting ready to travel on business for two months (mid-November through Mid-January,) so I need to fill up my Kindle as I won't be able to carry physical books. Help! --Emiily   3. Hello! My daughter and her friend are in grade 7 and need to be reading more science non-fiction (according to their teacher). She feels that the girls will be more comfortable participating in class discussions. Any recommendations (specifically global warming & organic food if possible). They read National Geographic but otherwise I'm at a loss. Thank you!!! --Sandra   4. Hi Jenn and Amanda, I am looking for books with an Asian man love interest. The sexuality of the protagonists doesn't matter to me (not trying to say that they don't matter, but want to clarify that the relationship can be M/M, M/F, M/gender fluid, etc), but I am having trouble finding a book that doesn't portray Asian men and boys stereotypically as "nerdy" and not romantically desirable (those two things should never be linked!). I tried WARCROSS by Marie Lu but didn't enjoy it and I'm not sure where to go next. I prefer adult novels to YA and I enjoy pretty much every genre. Thank you! --Joce (pronounced Joss! :D)   5. My reading interests are all over the place, which is easy in some ways because there are always lots of books I want to read, but hard to find ones that I really love. Some all-time favorites include: Random Family by Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, Birds of America by Lorrie Moore, and The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. guess I'm looking for well-written books with captivating/give me the feels characters. If you notice another common thread in those favorites, please enlighten me! --Karoline   6. I've recently discovered HBO's Girls and am obsessed - I would love some really modern femininisty books that have that same feel. I've read Lena Dunham and Maggie Nelson this week (loved it) as well as Fun Home and Bitch Planet - where do I go from here for smart, funny feminist lit that also entertains?   7. Hey Amanda and Jen! I have always loved what I guess I'll call "survival" novels. Growing up I loved Hatchet and My Side of the Mountain and Julie and the Wolves. As an adult, I've enjoyed Wild, Tracks, and The Martian. Basically, I love stories of someone learning to survive on their own whether by choice (Wild) or because of a bad situation (The Martian). I'm looking for more titles to fill this particular place in my heart. Thanks for your help! --Jackie   Books Discussed Flour Water Salt Yeast by Ken Forkish Beard on Bread by James Beard Hate To Want You by Alisha Rai Radio Silence by Alyssa Cole (Off the Grid series) We Are the Weather Makers by Tim Flannery World Without Fish by Mark Kurlansky, illustrated by Frank Stockton Hold Me by Courtney Milan Wrong to Need You by Alisha Rai (out Nov 28) Kevin Kwan’s Crazy Rich Asians series Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese The Fortunes by Peter Ho Davies Losing It by Emma Rathbone All Grown Up by Jami Attenberg Adrift by Steven Callahan Once Upon a River by Bonnie Jo Campbell (tw: rape) Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing

USA: FROM THE RUST BELT TO SILICON VALLEY As part of our project to explore the Americas, short story writer Bonnie Jo Campbell travelled across her home country with Scottish novelist and poet Jenni Fagan. The two writers started in derelict Detroit, then visited a tented city in Chicago and the Tesla car factory in California’s Silicon Valley, meeting a vast array of extraordinary people along the way. Today they share some of their unforgettable experiences, and some of the writing inspired by the journey. Part of our Outriders series of events.

WV Wesleyan MFA Summer 2017 Residency “Plot can be more unsettling than argument which can be answered.” In her summer lecture "What Is Light Without Dark?: Using Thematic Contrast to Build Narrative Tension and Character," Guest Fiction Faculty Mesha Maren quotes and discusses Eudora Welty's "Must the Novelist Crusade?" Other texts discussed in this lecture: Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian; Luis Alberto Urrea, The Devil’s Highway; Breece Pancake, “First Day of Winter”; Bonnie Jo Campbell, “The Trespasser”; Phil Klay, “Bodies”; Toni Morrison, Beloved; Amy Hempel, “In the Cemetery Where Al Jolson is Buried”

Yaël Ksander interviews novelist and short story writer Bonnie Jo Campbell.

Bonnie Jo Campbell grew up on a small Michigan farm with her mother and four siblings in a house her grandfather Herlihy built in the shape of an H. She learned to castrate small pigs, milk Jersey cows, and, when she was snowed in with chocolate, butter, and vanilla, to make remarkable chocolate candy. When she left home for the University of Chicago to study philosophy, her mother rented out her room. She has since hitchhiked across the U.S. and Canada, scaled the Swiss alps on her bicycle, and traveled with the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus selling snow cones. As president of Goulash Tours Inc., she has organized and led adventure tours in Russia and the Baltics, and all the way south to Romania and Bulgaria. Her collection Women and Other Animals details the lives of extraordinary females in rural and small town Michigan, and it won the AWP prize for short fiction; her story "The Smallest Man in the World" has been awarded a Pushcart Prize. Her novel Q Road investigates the lives of a rural community where development pressures are bringing unwelcome change in the character of the land. Her critically-acclaimed short fiction collection American Salvage, which consists of fourteen lush and rowdy stories of folks who are struggling to make sense of the twenty-first century, was a finalist for the 2009 National Book Award in Fiction.

Interview with Bonnie Jo Campbell on First Draft.

Named by the Guardian as one of our top ten writers of rural noir, Bonnie Jo Campbell is a keen observer of life and trouble in rural America, and her working-class protagonists can be at once vulnerable, wise, cruel, and funny. The strong but flawed women of Mothers, Tell Your Daughters must negotiate a sexually charged atmosphere as they love, honor, and betray one another against the backdrop of all the men in their world. Such richly fraught mother-daughter relationships can be lifelines, anchors, or they can sink a woman like a stone.

Martha Frankel’s guests this week are Ron Rash, Elizabeth Benedict, Bonnie Jo Campbell and Alison Bass.

Bonnie Jo Campbell is the author of critically-acclaimed books, such as her short story collections “Women And Other Animals,” and the 2009 National Book Award finalist, “American Salvage.”  In this episode, we talk about her recent novel, “Once Upon A River.”  A story about a young girl’s journey up the river in search of her […]

This week: Author Bonnie Jo Campbell goes zonkeys…The rowdies get out of Dodge…And Ashton Kutcher’s twitter account solves traffic crises. Plus, a joke from celebrated author Matthew Gallaway, and a new track from the Unknown Mortal Orchestra.

Bonnie Jo Campbell’s energy and biting wit make her work both brutal and laugh out-loud funny. All is weird, immediate and raw in Campbell’s stories and poems. Bonnie Jo Campbell’s new story collection, American Salvage, was a finalist for the 2009 National Book Award. She is also the author of the novel Q Road, and the story collection Women & Other Animals. She has won the AWP award for short fiction, the 2008 Eudora Welty fiction prize, and a Pushcart prize, and she was named a Barnes & Noble Great New Writer. The New York Times has called her stories "Bitter but sweetened by humor," and Publisher’s Weekly said Campbell details, "domestic worlds where Martha Stewart would fear to tread."Presented in partnership with Pacific University's Master of Fine Arts in Writing program.
