We begin Episode 204 with the announcement of our second quarter readalong in our year of reading romance and end with a delightful conversation with author Allison Pataki about her fabulous new novel, FINDING MARGARET FULLER. Since our last episode, Emily has continued with her intention of reading a short story every Monday. She read “Lot” by Bryan Washington from the story collection LOT: Stories and “Postcards from Heaven” from REUNION BEACH: Stories Inspired by Dorothea Benton Frank. Chris also read a short story, “Consequences” by Willa Cather from the story collection UNCLE VALENTINE AND OTHER STORIES. We each read an excellent novel – we're talking Top 10 contenders! Emily read THE FROZEN RIVERr by Ariel Lawhon and Chris finished WE GOT THE BEAT by Jenna Miller. In Biblio Adventures, Chris has rekindled a childhood fascination with Mary Stuart (aka Mary I of Scotland or Mary, Queen of Scots). She watched two movies: Mary, Queen of Scots starring Vanessa Redgrave, and Mary Queen of Scots starring Saoirse Ronan based on John Guy's biography QUEEN OF SCOTS: The True Life of Mary Stuart. She plans to read Antonia Fraser's biography, Mary, Queen of Scots for Big Book Summer. Emily took a trip to Wilmington, NC where she tried unsuccessfully to shop at Papercuts Bookshop because it was closed for inventory. She did find two Little Free Libraries where she picked up THIRTEEN MOONS by Charles Frazier, INTIMACIES by Katie Kitamura, and EACH PEACH PEAR PLUM by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. Back in CT, Emily went to the North Haven public library where she purchased LOTt: Stories by Bryan Washington and WHO'S IRISH?: Stories by Gish Jen from the Friends of the Library sale, and attended a presentation with Linda Civitello author of BAKING POWDER WARS: The Cutthroat Food Fight That Revolutionized Cooking.

Charles Frazier comes across as a writer in love with America. Beyond the rolling plains and purple mountains majesty, he loves the stories of average Americans in extraordinary times and it comes across in everything he writes. His latest novel, The Trackers, is the most modern novel he has ever written and it takes place 100 years ago. His writing captures the optimism of the American ideal, and his descriptive powers continue to astound. We talk to him about his latest, and what it was about the Great Depression that inspired the book.

This is the first in a mini-series of episodes where host Tim Cynova in joined by other white male leaders to discuss their personal and professional journeys as their companies engage in the work to become anti-racist organizations. DAVID B. DEVAN (he/him) joined https://www.operaphila.org/ (Opera Philadelphia) in January 2006 and was appointed General Director of the company in 2011. Since his arrival, David has worked closely with board and administration on strategic planning initiatives and building partnerships within the community and the opera world. David guided the company through a transformative period of innovation that led Opera News to describe it as “one of the leading instigators of new work in the country” and the New York Times to describe Opera Philadelphia as "a hotbed of operatic innovation." Under his leadership and artistic vision, Opera Philadelphia has grown to become a company of international stature and a favorite co-producing partner with companies all over the globe, developing fresh productions of classic works as well as premieres written by today's leading composers. The company has engaged and energized both established and emerging artists, providing opportunities for important role debuts for singers like Lawrence Brownlee, Eric Owens, Nathan Gunn, Stephanie Blythe, Christine Goerke, Leah Crocetto, and Lisette Oropesa. As The Daily Beast recently commented, “Opera Philadelphia has been at the forefront of commissioning new operas with contemporary subject matter and an innovative, genre-blending sensibility to snare a younger audience and revitalize opera for the 21st century.” Key achievements include the establishment of the Aurora Series for Chamber Opera at the Perelman Theater, an extremely popular and highly-subscribed opera series at the Kimmel Center's intimate 550-seat Perelman Theater; the establishment of the nation's first ever collaborative Composer in Residence Program with New York partner Music-Theatre Group, a comprehensive program supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, designed to foster the growth of tomorrow's great operatic composers; the creation of the American Repertoire Program in 2011, solidifying Opera Philadelphia's role as a national leader in the creation of new works; and the creation of the site-specific Opera in the City series. Under David's leadership, the company established the annual Festival O in 2017, launching each season with an immersive, 12-day festival featuring multiple operatic happenings in venues throughout the city. Opera Philadelphia also presents additional productions each spring, making it the first U.S. opera company to open a year-round season with a dynamic festival. Under David's leadership, Opera Philadelphia has commissioned or co-commissioned eight new operas, including Charlie Parker's YARDBIRD by Daniel Schnyder and Bridgette Wimberly, and starring Lawrence Brownlee, which has since been staged at The Apollo Theater in New York and Hackney Empire in London; Cold Mountain, based on the best-selling novel by Charles Frazier and written by Jennifer Higdon and Gene Scheer, and co-commissioned with The Santa Fe Opera; and Breaking the Waves by Missy Mazzoli and Royce Vavrek, based on the film by Lars von Trier, which has since been staged at Beth Morrison Projects' PROTOTYPE Festival and was named Best New Opera of 2016 by the Music Critics Association of North America. As immediate past Chair of the Board of Directors for the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance and a member of the Opera America board, David is privileged to serve in a city with rich and diverse cultural roots. He continues to work tirelessly to make opera as an important part of our community. TIM CYNOVA (he/him) wears a multitude of hats, all in service of creating anti-racist workplaces where people can thrive. He is the Principal of the...

There are people out there who are just brilliant. Their brains are amazing. Their art is gasp-inducing. But they can’t seem to achieve their goals. These are the people who know twenty-two languages, have maybe five masters degrees, and shrug it off like it’s no big deal. They can quote Derrida and Angela Davis in the same breath and make the connections between the two. According to writer/blogger Jessica Wildfire, some people are ‘too good for their own good.’ She calls this the Cold Mountain Effect. She writes: Someone can know too much. They can be too talented. They’ll turn any project into an epic journey through the Himalayas. They don’t get tired of working. They don’t want to see the end. They’re not even perfectionists. They just love their work too much. This stems from the story of the writer of Cold Mountain. It made history in 1997 with a 61-week run on the New York Times best-seller list, moving 3 million copies. Based on its success, Charles Frazier got an $8 million deal for his second book, with nothing more than a 1-page proposal. Cold Mountain swept the award scene that year, and went on to become a hit film that earned seven Academy Award nominations. Sometimes it takes an intervention. You probably don’t know that Frazier spent almost a decade working on Cold Mountain. According to lore, he couldn’t stop. One of his friends finally snuck an unfinished copy of the manuscript to a literary agent, who signed Frazier on the spot. That’s the only reason anyone knows anything about Charles Frazier. It’s hard to imagine how long he would’ve kept revising it. It’s not perfectionism that keeps them going, she argues, but the fear of their own success. Or it can just be the joy that they get from creating and doing and not wanting that joy to stop. We don't have enough space to put the rest of the notes here, but you can check them out on carriejonesbooks.blog also so many apologies but Shaun gets a bit naughty in the podcast and Carrie gets a lot frustrated.

Love books? Love movies? Hosts Marisa Serafini and Phil Svitek love them both too... equally. So they decided to marry their love of both into a monthly dedicated series where they discuss books that have been adapted into movies. This month they chose Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain which is about a soldier’s perilous journey back to his beloved at the end of the Civil War. At once a magnificent love story and a harrowing account of one man’s long walk home, Cold Mountain introduces a stunning new talent in American literature. Based on local history and family stories passed down by the author’s great-great-grandfather, Cold Mountain is the tale of a wounded soldier, Inman, who walks away from the ravages of the war and back home to his prewar sweetheart, Ada.

Cold Mountain, Charles Frazier's ''rare and extraordinary'' (San Francisco Chronicle) Whitman-esque Civil War odyssey of love, separation, and desertion, won the National Book Award, was adapted by Anthony Minghella into an Oscar-winning film, and was the 2016 One Book, One Philadelphia featured selection. His other bestselling novels are Nightwoods and Thirteen Moons, both period pieces set in Frazier's beloved native North Carolina. In his new novel, Frazier returns to the time of Cold Mountain to tell the story of Varina Howell, wife of the much older Jefferson Davis and the only First Lady the Confederate States of America would ever have.

Jennifer Higdon började komponera vid 21 års ålder, efter att mest ha lyssnat på rock, country och bluegrass. Hon komponerar kvalitetsmusik som samtidigt kommunicerar med många människor. Tonsättaren och virtuosa flöjtspelaren Jennifer Higdon är en av USAs flitigast spelade tonsättare och fick 2010 det finaste pris man kan få inom konstmusiken i USA, Pulitzerpriset, för sin Violin Concerto. Samma år vann Jennifer Higdons Slagverkskonsert en Grammy. Hennes musik finns inspelad på över 60 CD-skivor. Jennifer Higdons filosofi är enkel: Musiken måste sjunga, den måste tala, den måste kommunicera.Hon skriver musik för musikerna och för lyssnarna och tror stenhårt på att hon kan skriva kvalitetsmusik och samtidigt kommunicera med många människor. Om Jennifer Higdon har det skrivits att hon i sin musik hellre använder klangfärger och melodier än teman. Hon håller med: -Mitt klangfärgstänkade kommer ur mina kompositionsstudier hos tonsättaren George Crumb. George Crumb själv listar hennes musikaliska fingeravtryck så här: rytmisk vitalitet, spännande färgsättning och känslighet för nyanser och klang. Det var den världskända violonisten Hilary Hahn som beställde Violinkonserten. Pulitzerprisjuryn skrev: Jennifer Higdons Violinkonsert är ett djupt engagerande verk som kombinerar flödande lyrism med bländande virtuositet. Hilary Hahn drog åt tumskruvarna och hetsade Higdon att göra verket svårare och svårare. Pulitzerpriset förändrade Jennifer Higdons liv över en natt. Redan första dagen fick hon, som har eget notförlag, 200 nya beställningar. Hon hade dock inte tid för dem alla och slussade helt sonika beställarna vidare till andra tonsättarvänner. Jennifer Higdons notförlag heter Lawdon Press och förläggare är Cheryl Lawson, Jennifer Higdons hustru. De möttes i gymnasiet för 31 år sen, och de lever helt öppet för att kunna vara stöd och förebilder för unga lesbiska kvinnor. Många av Higdons stycken kräver att musikerna använder utökade tekniker på sina instrument, som överblåsning, omvänd fingersättning eller instrumentbyte. Stycket On A Wire skrev hon för gruppen Eight Blackbird och symfoniorkester. Eight Blackbird inleder stycket med att spela inuti en flygel med fiskelinor. Jennifer Higdon var här inspirerad av Bowed Piano Ensemble från Colorado. -Strängarna sjunger då på ett utsökt och mystiskt sätt, förklarar Jennifer Higdon. Jag gillar att ge publiken överraskningar och på det sättet dra in dem i skeendet på scenen. Jennifer Higdon fick uppdraget att skriva musik till 75-årsjubiléet för Curtis Institue of Music i Philadelphia där hon studerat och numera verkar som professor. Detta händer ett år efter att hennes bror Andy Blue Higdon dör i cancer, endast 33 år gammal. Jennifer skriver det vackra, personliga stycket Blue Cathedral, ett tonpoem, som varje weekend spelas någonstans i världen. Walt Whitmans poem When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd skrev han kort efter lönnmordet på president Abraham Lincoln, 1865. Jennifer Higdons tonsatte av delar av dikten och gav stycket titeln Dooryard Bloom. Det framförs av den Panama-Amerikanske barytonen Nmon Ford. - Nmon Ford är svart och det är vackert att just han sjöng vid premiären och desuutom spelade in stycket på skiva, säger Higdon.

One of the most versatile writers working today, Ron Franscell has traversed the open range of journalism, fiction and nonfiction with extraordinary success. His lyrical but muscular prose has been compared to that of Robert Olen Butler, Cormac McCarthy, and Charles Frazier.  His journalism has won several national awards, including the Associated Press Managing Editors’ national Freedom of Information Award, the Investigative Reporters and Editor’s Best in the West Award, and four Pulitzer Prize candidates.  And he has frequently appeared as a true-crime commentator on CNN, NPR, Fox News, and crime documentaries on Investigation Discovery, History Channel, and A&E.

I andra programmet möter vi tonsättaren och virtuosa flöjtspelaren Jennifer Higdon som först började komponera vid 21 års ålder, efter att mest ha lyssnat på rock, country, och bluegrass. Nu är Jennifer Higdon en av USAs flitigast spelade tonsättare och fick 2010 det finaste pris man kan få inom konstmusiken i USA, Pulitzerpriset, för sin Violin Concerto. Samma år vann Jennifer Higdons Slagverkskonsert en Grammy. Hennes musik finns inspelad på över 60 CD-skivor. Jennifer Higdons filosofi är enkel: Musiken måste sjunga, den måste tala, den måste kommunicera. Hon skriver musik för musikerna och för lyssnarna och tror stenhårt på att hon kan skriva kvalitetsmusik och samtidigt kommunicera med många människor. Om Jennifer Higdon har det skrivits att hon i sin musik hellre använder klangfärger och melodier än teman. Hon håller med: -Mitt klangfärgstänkade kommer ur mina kompositionsstudier hos tonsättaren George Crumb. George Crumb själv listar hennes musikaliska fingeravtryck så här: ”rytmisk vitalitet, spännande färgsättning och känslighet för nyanser och klang”. Det var den världskända violonisten Hilary Hahn som beställde Violinkonserten. Pulitzerprisjuryn skrev: Jennifer Higdons Violinkonsert är ett ”djupt engagerande verk som kombinerar flödande lyrism med bländande virtuositet”. Hilary Hahn drog åt tumskruvarna och hetsade Higdon att göra verket svårare och svårare. Pulitzerpriset förändrade Jennifer Higdons liv över en natt. Redan första dagen fick hon, som har eget notförlag, 200 nya beställningar. Jennifer Higdon hade dock inte tid för dem alla och slussade helt sonika beställarna vidare till andra tonsättarvänner. Jennifer Higdons notförlag heter Lawdon Press och förläggare är Cheryl Lawson, Jennifer Higdons hustru. De möttes i gymnasiet för 31 år sen, och de lever helt öppet för att kunna vara stöd och förebilder för unga lesbiska kvinnor. Många av Higdons stycken kräver att musikerna använder utökade tekniker på sina instrument, som överblåsning, omvänd fingersättning eller instrumentbyte. Stycket On A Wire skrev hon för gruppen Eight Blackbird och symfoniorkester. Eight Blackbird inleder stycket med att spela inuti en flygel med fiskelinor. Higdon var här inspirerad av “Bowed Piano Ensemble” från Colorado. -Strängarna sjunger då på ett utsökt, mystiskt sätt, förklarar Jennifer Higdon. Jag gillar att ge publiken överraskningar och på det sättet dra in dem i skeendet på scenen. Jennifer Higdon fick uppdraget att skriva musik till 75-årsjubiléet för Curtis Institue of Music i Philadelphia där hon studerat och numera verkar som professor. Detta händer ett år efter att hennes bror Andy Blue Higdon dör i cancer, endast 33 år gammal. Jennifer skriver det vackra, personliga stycket Blue Cathedral, ett tonpoem, som varje weekend spelas någonstans i världen. Walt Whitmans poem ”When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd” skrev han kort efter lönnmordet på president Abraham Lincoln, 1865. På Jennifer Higdons tonsättning av delar av dikten, med titeln ”Dooryard Bloom”, sjunger den Panama-Amerikanske barytonen Nmon Ford. - Nmon Ford är svart och det är vackert att just han sjöng vid premiären och även spelade in stycket på skiva, säger Higdon. Det var ju Abraham Lincoln som upphävde slaveriet i USA. 2015 får Higdons första opera världspremiär. Librettot är baserat på den internationella bestsellern "Åter till Cold Mountain" av författaren Charles Frazier.

Nightwoods

"It's not me telling you, there's this storyteller voice."

"If we're going in the wrong direction, we could turn around and go back."

D. G. Martin interviews Nicholas Sparks - Best of Me In the fall of 1984, high school students Amanda Collier and Dawson Cole fell deeply, irrevocably in love. Though they were from opposite sides of the tracks, their love for one another seemed to defy the realities of life in the small town of Oriental, North Carolina. But as the summer of their senior year came to a close, unforeseen events would tear the young couple apart, setting them on radically divergent paths.

D. G. Martin interviews Charles Frazier - Nightwoods The extraordinary author of Cold Mountain and Thirteen Moons returns with a dazzling new novel of suspense and love set in small-town North Carolina in the early 1960s. Charles Frazier puts his remarkable gifts in the service of a lean, taut narrative while losing none of the transcendent prose, virtuosic storytelling, and insight into human nature that have made him one of the most beloved and celebrated authors in the world. Now, with his brilliant portrait of Luce, a young woman who inherits her murdered sister’s troubled twins, Frazier has created his most memorable heroine. Before the children, Luce was content with the reimbursements of the rich Appalachian landscape, choosing to live apart from the small community around her. But the coming of the children changes everything, cracking open her solitary life in difficult, hopeful, dangerous ways. Charles Frazier is known for his historical literary odysseys, and for making figures in the past come vividly to life. Set in the twentieth century, Nightwoods resonates with the timelessness of a great work of art.

Charles Frazier, bestselling author of Cold Mountain, discusses his long awaited third novel Nightwoods which is once again located in the forests and mountains of North Carolina. Travel writers Sara Wheeler and Michael Jacobs look at the nature of travel writing and if the genre will survive in the age of the internet, cheap flights and apps. And Lev Grossman and Erin Morgenstern discuss why they felt compelled to write magic literature for adults and how their books differ from traditional children's fantasy novels.

Anne Collins, Publisher of Random House Canada, speaks with bestselling author Charles Frazier about his new novel Thirteen Moons.
