Podcast appearances and mentions of christopher boucher

Host Meg Wolitzerpresents works that reflect on the loss of love, creatively imagined by a quartet of thoughtful writers.  In “The Space,” by Christopher Boucher, a lost love is replaced by—her absence.  The reader is Rob Yang.  In Wendi Kaufman's “Helen on Eighty-Sixth Street,” the loss is the backstory, as a lively ‘tween, voiced by Donna Lynne Champlin, finds ways to deflect the emotional fallout from her father's absence.  Sharon Olds' wrenching poem, “Last Look,” read by Jane Kaczmarek, is our palette clearer before we close with a Raymond Carver classic, “Why Don't You Dance?”The couple idly roving a lawn sale don't realize they are walking through the detritus of lost relationship.The reader is Corey Stoll.

The idea of “interiority” is all the talk these days, but what actually is it? How is it different from exposition and simply telling a reader about a character's thoughts and feelings? How do you access that deeper level of character development and voice from which great interiority comes? We've got two master writers and teachers today to help us out: Dawn Tripp and Christopher BoucherWatch a recording of our live webinar here. The audio/video version is available for one week.

Why include real life characters, either historical or present-day (even family!), in your fiction? How might it inspire and give some valuable context to your work?

Karell nous parle de son ancien collègue Christopher Boucher, nommé directeur du département d'analyse de statistiques avancées du Canadien.

Christopher Boucher, who is doing an MSc. in Geophysics at Western, elaborated on his research on building maps meant to help reduce damages from earthquakes. He was co-interviewed by Nicholas Hadfield-Jones and Yousuf Hasan. Chris is especially focusing on mapping specific areas of Vancouver that are need of geological clarity in terms of us understanding what areas are more hazardous in case of an earthquake. His focus uses non-invasive tools to study and model these grounds. His research has other broader benefits as well.  Produced by Gavin Tolometti

The Ghost Network (Melville House)  When Molly Metropolis, the world's hottest pop star, goes missing, two young women launch a desperate search across the underbelly of Chicago to find her. Using Molly's songs and journals to uncover clues to her whereabouts, her personal assistant and a journalist join forces to determine if Molly's been kidnapped, gone into hiding, or worse. Catie Disabato's debut novel, The Ghost Network is the story of the young women's quest to find Molly, which leads them to a secret side of Chicago, as they make their way through a half-completed subway system and the secret, subterranean headquarters of an intellectual sect. As they race to locate her and end up in grave danger, they find themselves falling in love, in a witty, haunting story of larger-than-life fantasies—of young love, sex, pop music, transportation, and personal reinvention. Suspenseful and wildly original, The Ghost Network has already been hailed by The Millions as one of the “Most Anticipated Books of 2015,” and by The Masters Review as one of “Fifteen Books We're Looking Forward to This Year.” Praise for The Ghost Network: “The writing throughout is so crystalline, the dialogue so acerbically funny and the characters so engaging as to make the pages seem as though they're turning themselves.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review “One of the most entertaining books I've read in years.”—Christopher Boucher, author of How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive "Brilliant, daring, and masterful. . . Impossible to put down."--Edan Lepucki, New York Times bestselling author of California Catie Disabato is a columnist for Full Stop. She's written criticism and commentary for This Recording, The Millions, and The Rumpus, and her short fiction was recently featured on Joyland. After growing up in Chicago and graduating from Oberlin College, she now lives in L.A. and works in public relations.
