In this special holiday episode of Shelf Life, we took time out from our regular format to see what  guests old and new read in 2022. The episode starts with Joyce Maynard, who shot to fame with her 1998 memoir At Home in the World, in which she wrote candidly about the traumatic relationship she had with the author of Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger. But Maynard has also written many novels including Labor Day and To Die For, both made into acclaimed movies, as well as (more recently), Count the Ways.   After discovering what books found their way onto Joyce's reading list in 2022 we pose the same question to Darcey Steinke, author of Suicide Blonde, Jesus Saves, and Flash Count Diary, among others, before rounding out the show with the legendary Edmund White, now 82, a pioneer in contemporary queer fiction (A Boy's Own Story, The Beautiful Room is Empty)  and still writing up a storm (a new novel is due in May 2023) and the irrepressible director, writer, and performer John Waters, a debut novelist himself in 2022 with Liarmouth: A Feel Bad Romance.

Meet Darcey Steinke, American author and educator. Her most recent book is Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life. In it, Darcey writes frankly about her own experience with menopause and weaves together her personal story with philosophy, science, art, and literature.  In this episode, Darcey shares what humans can learn from killer whales when it comes to aging, menopause, and leadership. Plus, she gets into how coping with sleep loss and hot flashes allowed her to access a deeper understanding of herself through journaling, solitude, and introspection.  Join Robin, Christine, and Darcey's conversation on what Darcey calls “graduate school for the body,” how she draws on wisdom from trans friends to celebrate hormonal changes and transitions, and how our aging bodies can teach us empathy.

Darcey Steinke is the author of five novels and a memoir, as well as most recently, the fragmentary investigation, Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life. Her work has been described as suburban Gothic and frequently borrows from her own life, drawing on her complicated relationship with her late mother, a one-time model and pageant girl, and the distant figure of her father–a Lutheran pastor. In her novel Sister Golden Hair, the narrator is a teenager whose father used to be a pastor, and whose mother was once a beauty queen. The protagonist of her novel, Jesus Saves is haunted by her mother's misery, but it was her second novel, Suicide Blonde, a candid, deeply poetic tale of sexual exploration published in 1992, that turned Steinke into a literary sensation, elevating her into the company of celebrated outlaw writers, like William Burroughs and Kathy Acker. She says, “Questions about my relationship to the universal force or God, or how we're supposed to be oriented to this life or how we're meant to live with the fragility of the human body, these questions are central to me, these are the questions that drive my work.”

Em 1992, um livro de uma jovem autora californiana provocou um terremoto na literatura contemporânea. De um lado, muitos atacavam o que era visto como uma tentativa de chocar, do outro, críticos reconheceram ali uma voz original, de estilo impecável. * Marco do feminismo libertário americano, "Loira suicida", de Darcey Steinke, é uma espécie de diário no qual a jovem Jesse registra sua incursão pelos domínios mais baixos da San Francisco dos anos 1990. Filha de um ministro da igreja luterana, a protagonista do romance abre mão dos valores de classe média para seguir, ao lado do namorado bissexual, uma peregrinação por um submundo feito de drogas, bebida e sexo. * Para falar sobre as nuances e importância da obra, a Rádio Companhia desta semana traz a tradutora Simone Campos (@simon3campos) — também autora do recém lançado "Nada vai acontecer com você" — e a produtora de conteúdo Taize Odeli (@taizze). * Saiba mais sobre “Loira suicida”: Influenciada por todo um cânone de escritores marginais (Georges Bataille, Jean Genet, Alexander Trocchi, William S. Burroughs etc.) e dialogando com a literatura queer e noir dos anos 1980 e 1990 – e com autores como Virginie Despentes, Eileen Myles, Jean Rhys, Marguerite Duras, entre outros –, Darcey Steinke arma uma história a um só tempo melodramática e mordaz, honesta e intensa, em que os labirintos do desejo se chocam à euforia de uma época que parecia começar a girar irremediavelmente em falso. Um romance vigoroso sobre uma mulher e os descaminhos de uma furiosa busca por encontrar o seu lugar no mundo. * Apresentação e edição: Paulo Junior

Douglas A. Martin discusses the reissue of his novel, Branwell: A Novel of the Brontë Brother, with his friend and fellow Brooklyn author Darcey Steinke.  In their discussion of Martin's fictionalized story of the less-successful sibling of Emily, Charlotte and Anne Bronte, the two wrestle with how traditional biography fails to make room for queerness, and how writers discover their identify through their writing – as prose can inform life as much as life informs prose. (Recorded July 20, 2020)

Darcey Steinke was furious nobody warned her about the true experience of menopause. Hear this raw, honest and intelligent exploration of the prejudice and power in this significant time in women's lives. Hosted by Jane Caro.

Two things we love: 1) women’s bodies 2) problem-solving. So imagine our delight when we discovered that MoMA Design Store put together a whole freaking beautiful, educational, and useful pop-up around Design Innovations for Women. In partnership with the MoMA Design Store team, we sat down with Chay Costello and Alex Glaser, the buyers responsible for spearheading this initiative who, yes, also happen to be work wives. We talk menstruation, motherhood, menopause—and you bet your vulvas we asked what it’s like to discuss these topics at the office.    The linkage:   You can shop MoMA Design Store’s groundbreaking Design Innovations for Women pop-up online and at their Soho store in NYC until September 27. So, so, sooo good.   A couple of previous podcast eps relevant to this conversation: Pledging to Shop Better and What to Expect When Claire’s Expecting.   Michelle Obama’s recent pod ep on menopause—definitely worth a listen.   A few of Claire’s personal faves in the Design Innovations for Women mix: the Elvie Kegel Smart Trainer and the Haakaa Generation 2 Breast Pump.    For more on Chay Costello, Alex Glaser, and the MoMA Design Store merchandising team, hit up 99U.   Some things and people Chay and Alex looked to as they pulled together this pop-up: Sssh! Periods podcast, Dame’s reusable tampon applicator (available in the UK!), Darcey Steinke’s   Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life, Michelle Fisher’s Designing Motherhood project at MFA Boston, designer of the first bike saddle for women Georgena Terry, designers of the first sports bra (the Jogbra!) Lisa Lindahl and Polly Smith, Womanly magazine, The Unmentionables podcast from Nyssa, and the pelvic-floor physical therapist Sara Reardon a.k.a. @the.vagina.whisperer.   Just a handful of the almost 50 products part of this design movement v. worth checking out: Aisle Period Undies Boxer Brief, TOP The Organic Project Cotton Tampons with Plant-Based Applicator, DivaCup, Elvie Double Breast Pump, The Period Game, Penny Pack First Period Kit, and MoMA Champion Sports Bra.   Leave us reviews, voicemails (833-632-5463), IG direct messages (@athingortwohq)!   We’re going to be on hiatus for the next few weeks!

On this week’s podcast, we speak with Darcey Steinke, author of Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life. When menopause hit, she set out on a quest to better understand what was happening to her body and her identity as a woman.  The result is an extraordinary memoir that is more than personal.  It is a cultural quest to examine menopause through the lens of science, history, animal nature, and supernatural and patriarchal systems of belief.  For Darcey, hot flashes became a conduit to self-discovery.  Perhaps menopause is more than just a cluster of symptoms, but rather something vast and deep for us to experience. Darcey is also the author of Easter Everywhere and five novels: Sister Golden Hair, Milk, Jesus Saves, Suicide Blonde, and Up Through the Water. https://www.darceysteinke.com/index.html Flash Count Diary is available on Amazon or at your local book store.

tl;dr Darcey Steinke on menopause, changing bodies, & a new way forward   MENOPAUSE! It's a thing loads of us go through that's fraught with misinformation, silence, shame, and PATRIARCHY.   So, this week, I'm chatting with author Darcey Steinke about her new book, "Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life". I had a chance to read the book and chat about it with some friends in a queer elders book club I'm in.   Darcey and I dive into the ways menopause is vilified by the modern medical industrial complex, the stories we don't have, and what she discovered along the way around pleasure, sex, and changing bodies.   We acknowledge that this episode is cis and hetero centric as it's a largely about Darcey's memoir. If you're looking for some resources for other kinds of bodies and genders, head to dawnserra.com/ep287 for a few to check out.   You can grab "Flash Count Diary" wherever books are sold.

Win a copy of Flash Count Diary by subscribing to the She's Bold Podcast newsletter!   Today’s guest is author, Darcey Steinke. Darcey has a new book out called Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life. Fair warning that this is an adult conversation and may not be for everyone. But it’s an important conversation in that menopause has been traditionally a topic that isn’t often talked about openly. For those going through it, there’s a lot of shame around it because of the sometimes very obvious symptoms – most notably, hot flashes. But it’s also a time of life for women when a lot of emotion and other physical changes can occur. Darcey’s approach is that this is just another chapter in a woman’s life and should be embraced, not necessarily looked upon as a medical condition. Her book and this conversation are so important to how we view menopause and how we can change our language around it to not be something viewed as a “condition” or as a problem to solve. There’s no doubt that you have many women in your life that could benefit from hearing this conversation so please do share it. Let’s get the word out and start thinking about menopause a bit differently. If you’d like to win a copy of her book, Flash Count Diary, sign up for the She’s Bold Podcast newsletter.

The only two creatures on earth that go through menopause are human women and female killer whales. This esoteric fact became a strange point of fascination as author Darcey Steinke grappled with her own hard experiences with menopause—first came hot flashes, then insomnia, then depression. Steinke struggled to understand what was happening to her, and all her research slammed her up against a culture of silence and sexism. To offer a guiding hand to understanding menopause in a complex, spiritual, and intellectually engaged way, Steinke joins us at Town Hall in conversation with marine biologist Dr. Deborah Giles to share thoughts on Flash Count Diary, Steinke’s powerful exploration into aspects of menopause that have rarely been written about. She delves into the changing gender landscape brought on by reduced levels of hormones, the actualities of transforming desires, and the realities of prejudice against older women. Steinke reveals menopausal insights from throughout history: how seventeenth century women who had hot flashes in front of others could be accused of being witches, that the model of Marcel Duchamp’s famous Étant donnés was a post-reproductive woman, and that seeing whales in the wild can lead to orcagasms. Listen in with Steinke and Giles for an honest, feminist story about the intimations of mortality that menopause signals—and her argument for the ascendency, beauty, and power of the post-reproductive years in women’s lives. Darcey Steinke is the author of the memoir Easter Everywhere and the novels Milk, Jesus Saves, Suicide Blonde, Up Through the Water, and Sister Golden Hair. With Rick Moody, she edited Joyful Noise: The New Testament Revisited. Her books have been translated into ten languages, and her nonfiction has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Boston Review, Vogue, Spin, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, and The Guardian. Dr. Deborah Giles received her PhD from the University of California Davis in 2014. Her master’s thesis and PhD dissertation both focused on the federally listed southern resident killer whales. Formerly the research director at the Center for Whale Research, she is currently a resident scientist and lecturer at the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Labs, where she teaches Marine Mammals of the Salish Sea and Marine Biology. Recorded live in The Forum at Town Hall Seattle on July 8, 2019.

Darcey Steinke - Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Darcey Steinke. Darcey is an author who has just put out her SEVENTH book! In this episode we chat about some of her previous books, that time she was in a punk rock band, the TWO times she interviewed Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, and of course we chat about her newly released book FLASH COUNT DIARY: MENOPAUSE AND THE VINDICATION OF NATURAL LIFE. This is a good book for women who have gone, or will go through "The Change". This is also a GREAT book to help men understand just what the hell is going on during and post menopause. I H-I-G-H-L-Y recommend this book.

Darcey Steinke has written a wholly original book about menopause. And it's wonderful. She starts with her own experience, then leads us on a journey that explores the biological, sociological, and cultural realities women have faced and continue facing during this part of their lives. And how it's time those "realities" underwent some real scrutiny. Darcey argues that menopause can and should be transformative – a unique opportunity to embrace a new, rich, potentially very altered self. Once genneve CEO Jill Angelo heard Darcey on NPR's All Things Considered, she was eager to meet the woman who spoke so openly and honestly about the changes menopause can have on bodies, sex, relationships, and our own identities as women. When she learned Darcey was coming to Seattle (home to genneve HQ) to speak about her book, Jill reached out. What follows is an incredibly lively, fun, and inspiring conversation. We hope you enjoy it, and if you're able to attend Darcey's show in Seattle, we'll see you there!

This week, Martha's guest is Darcey Steinke.

Our guest this episode is Darcey Steinke, author of several books, including the just-released “Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life.” We talk with her about the things she learned while writing the book, including the fact that only a handful of animals go through menopause besides us - and one of them is killer whales, which we find fascinating! Steinke says, “I knew so much more going into both menstruation and pregnancy than I did going into menopause.” Ditto!

Experimental author Shelley Jackson discusses her new book, Riddance: Or The Sybil Joines Vocational School for Ghost Speakers and Hearing Mouth Children, with author Darcey Steinke. Together, they talk about 19th Century Spiritualism, how the neutral experience is a white fantasy, the fine line between genius and insanity, and how Jackson's childhood has an influence on her surreal novel.

For the second episode of the Granta Reads’ Halloween series, Eleanor Chandler reads Darcey Steinke’s essay ‘Frankenstein’s Mother’, which explores the relationship between mother and monster. Darcey Steinke is the author of the novels Sister Golden Hair, Milk, Jesus Saves, Suicide Blonde and Up Through the Water, as well as the memoir Easter Everywhere. She lives in New York.

Darcey Steinke – author of novels Suicide Blonde, Jesus Saves and the spiritual memoir Easter Everywhere – talks about faith, Kurt Cobain, freedom, the '70s, her fifth novel, Sister Golden Hair, and more.... The post Conversation with Darcey Steinke appeared first on Litro Magazine.

Michael Chabon is a lyricist for Mark Ronson's new album, Uptown Special, as covered by The Guardian. Harper Lee's lost novel, Go Set a Watchman, will be published later this year. The Atlantic reports on the story of its discovery. In an attempt to allay fears of Lee's competence, she has apparently released a statement through her lawyer, saying, "“I'm alive and kicking and happy as hell with the reactions to ‘Watchman,' ” according to The New York Times.

Meeting with Natalie Standiford was like stepping into a world where all my teen fantasies about what life as a writer would look like (amazing NY apartment, effortlessly chic clothes, a separate office with built-in shelves and a bass amp in the corner). It was only made better by the fact that Natalie’s books - HOW TO SAY GOODBYE IN ROBOT, THE BOY ON THE BRIDGE, CONFESSIONS OF THE SULLIVAN SISTERS and so many more - are beautiful, thoughtful, and filled with quirky nuance, just like the books I dreamed (dream!) of writing. Natalie is so sweet and welcoming, and had wise, wise words about building up an immunity to writer’s block, writing about real-world fairylands, and finding creative release outside the written word.   Natalie Standiford Show Notes FEAR STREET (THE CHEATER; LIGHTS OUT; THE SECRET; THE BURNING; THE FEAR STREET SAGA) Sarah Burnes, agent at The Gernet Co., who represents Natalie (and me!)
