“Ambition” is a term laden with all kinds of assumptions from patriarchal, white-dominant, ableist culture. But I have good news. Ambition doesn't have to be synonymous with the urge to acquire money, fame, or power. We can each define it for ourselves in a way that reflects the impact we want to have on the world. Here to help me figure out how is novelist, essayist, writing teacher, and ambition-redefining badass Esmé Weijun Wang.Mentioned: Esmé Weijun Wang is the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of The Collected Schizophrenias and The Border of Paradise.Her website is EsmeWang.com, and you can follow her on Instagram @esmewwang.The Unexpected Shape Writing Academy is at UnexpectedShapeAcademy.com. At timewitchery.com/planner you can get a Time Witchery anti-planner to help you develop your own definition of ambition.Make Magic:When you're thinking about ambition, don't think about the pressures that come from family, peers, or society about what You're Supposed to Do. Focus instead on the excitement of doing and making things that delight you.

If you're a longtime listener, you know by now that I don't pick the books we do every episode, the guest does. Mostly that's so the onus of reading or rereading fresh for the recording session is on me; people normally choose books they love or have recently finished in order to not have to read 400 pages of Victorian Sadness again and again. And I admit, I have rarely said no to a book that someone chose to discuss. But I almost said no to this one. I hadn't read it since college, I didn't get it, I was too uncomfortable. But I should've known that my guest wouldn't lead me astray. You all are in for a phenomenal episode.

Humbert goes off the rails when Lolita flees to the arms of a pornographer, Clare Quilty, and then her subsequent husband.

In this penultimate episode of this season of Chronic, host Lucy Pasha-Robinson is joined by New York Times best-selling author Esmé Weijun Wang, who lives with schizoaffective disorder.In this candid chat, we tackle some of the common misconceptions around psychosis – namely that sufferers are violent or dangerous. In fact, those with a diagnosis of a schizophrenic disorder are much more likely to be victims of violence. Esmé shares what it’s like to live with delusions, hallucinations, both auditory and visual, and other psychotic symptoms that are so often misunderstood. We talk identity when you live with mental illness, judgement by others, support networks and coping strategies. And address the big question – have the collective schizophrenias been left behind in our conversations around mental health?Follow Esmé @esmewangStay tuned for more on all things Chronic by following host @LucyPasha on Twitter.

Esmé Weijun Wang's debut novel The Border of Paradise was one of my favorite books of 2016. A multigenerational epic centered on an interracial family, the Nowaks, this book touches on so many profound topics, from mental illness to intergenerational trauma to culture clash to the very question of what it means to be a family, all done in stunningly beautiful prose. Esmé and I had a great conversation about her book in the first segment, and in the second segment we chatted about our favorite social media platform: Twitter.

Esmé Weijun Wang was the second-ever guest on this podcast.Her novel, Border of Paradise, had recently come out to great acclaim and we had a delicious discussion about fiction and taboo.In the years since, she‘s written an equally lauded book of essays, The Collected Schizophrenias, which explores the complex constellation of this illness and her relationship to it.Esmé has also worked to build community and courses for those writers who are, as she puts it „ambitious with limitations.“ I've had many people write in asking about achieving writing goals when health is a factor. I knew immediately who I wanted to speak to.I hope that this conversation supports anyone currently living with limitations and that you feel as nourished as I did, speaking with Esmé.Visit this episode's show notes page here: https://www.secretlibrarypodcast.com/episodes/esme-weijun-wang-s3-ep3 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On Episode 129 of You, Me, Empathy, New York Times bestselling author Esmé Weijun Wang and I explore the exercise in empathy that is this Coronavirus pandemic, how constraints can be a useful force in our creativity, managing feelings of despair, 90s online communities, how beautifully resilient humans are, hallucinations as kidnapping the senses, and Esme’s stunning part-memoir and part-deep dive into schizophrenia, The Collected Schizophrenias. This episode was recorded just as the Coronavirus pandemic really took off, and so Esmé and I talk about the collective anxiety of it, herd immunity, the 24-hour news cycle, how this time is impacting people with chronic illness and mental illness, and how this time illuminates the fact that we, as feely humans, are not meant to be individualistic; we’re meant to be connected and together. We also gab about constraints and creativity, Daphne the dog (!), managing chronic pain by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable parts (“I can get through the next 5 seconds”), healing as a spiral staircase, 90s online communities like Prodigy and Live Journal, mental health stigma in Taiwanese culture, Cotard’s Delusion, the sensory overload of hallucinations, our medical understanding of schizophrenia, and Esmé’s award-winning book (which I think you’ll absolutely love!), The Collected Schizophrenias.

JoBeth works for the Association, but she’s also a huge Esmé fan and was actually elected as a City Councilor in Oklahoma City. OK, the mental health download starts … now.

We hosted a reading and conversation with novelist Esmé Weijun Wang, author of the New York Times-bestselling new essay collection The Collected Schizophrenias. She was named one of Granta’s Best Young American Novelists and has won a Whiting Award. The Collected Schizophrenias, which won the Graywolf Nonfiction Prize, is, as NPR writes, “riveting, honest, and courageously allows for complexities in the reality of what living with illness is like.” After reading from her work, Esmé has a conversation with Larissa Pham, writer and author of the novella Fantasian. Together they discuss how to write vulnerably while maintaining boundaries, little things we can do for each other when our friends and family are going through difficult times, and much more.

Novelist and author of The Collective Schizophrenias joins Senior Books Editor Cristina Arreola to discuss her new collection of essays, her diagnosis with schizoaffective disorder, and the stigma that still faces those diagnosed with mental illness.

“When black women win, everyone wins.” This week, Feminista Jones tells us all about black feminism, social media, activism, and her new book, Reclaiming Our Space: How Black Feminists Are Changing the World from the Tweets to the Streets. Feminista is a writer, community activist, social worker, public speaker, and one of our extremely longtime faves. She wrote her latest book—out now—to capture the current moment of black feminism on social media and in digital communities, and serve as her personal contribution to feminist theory and history. There is a unique existence being both black and woman in this world. And black feminism is the refusal to choose one or the other. It is the declaration that I am both, and I will not choose one or the other, and that all of my liberation work, and all of the things that I fight for are because I am both. —Feminista Jones, activist and author Y’all definitely need to listen up, because she’s full of wisdom. We talk about: We talk about: Why she wrote Reclaiming Our Space—and why you should go request it from your local library Black feminism and digital platforms #YouOkSis and the importance of bystander intervention Her new passion project, Black in Philly, profiling real life for black people across the city How she deals with the harassment that comes along with having 160,000 Twitter followers Links: Feminista’s website Twitter Instagram Black in Philly Reclaiming Our Space #YouOkSis Plus: Sara and Katel chat about being white, seeing race, and understanding what “whiteness” is—and isn’t How Oregon started out as a whites-only state—and no one talked about it What to read: The Collected Schizophrenias, Esmé Weijun Wang’s new essay collection, out now from Graywolf Press, about living with chronic mental illness Fuck yeah to surprising your friends with a card in the mail to brighten their day

A rising star in today’s Nigerian novel boom, the trans and non-binary Akwaeke Emezi has brought us Freshwater, an autobiographical debut written with stylistic brilliance, exploring the metaphysics of identity and being, plunging the reader into the mysteries of self. Emezi was named one of the National Book Foundation's '5 under 35' for 2018 and Freshwater was long-listed for the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize. In convo with Whiting Award-winning novelist Esmé Weijun Wang. Recorded live at the Museum of African Diaspora during Litquake Festival 2018. Sponsored by California College of the Arts.

LIVE from our San Francisco launch party at Books Inc, Shakirah Simley, Reem Assil, Windy Chien and Esmé Weijun Wang talk about imposter syndrome, building community, overcoming fear and giving yourself time to feel and learn from failure.

Award-winning writer Esmé Wang knows from personal experience how tough it is to be ambitious and deal with limitation. She is a woman who lives with chronic illness, including late-stage Lyme disease and schizoaffective disorder. She believes that just because one lives with limitations — whether they be caregiving responsibilities, disability, chronic illness, or any other life circumstance that cause you to feel fenced in, doesn’t mean a person can’t leave a legacy of creative resilience. Esmé Weijun Wang is a novelist and essayist. Her debut novel, The Border of Paradise, was called a Best Book of 2016 by NPR and one of the 25 Best Novels of 2016 by Electric Literature. She was named by Granta as one of the “Best of  Young American Novelists” in 2017, and is the recipient of the Graywolf Nonfiction Prize for her forthcoming essay collection, The Collected Schizophrenias. In her blog, The Unexpected Shape, she provides resources that assist ambitious people who live with limitations In this conversation, Branden and Esmé tackle the question of why people living with illness need both the practice and living-out of resilience in their daily lives — and how boundaries laid out in life’s game can make things more interesting.

Esmé Weijun Wang, author of The Border of Paradise: A Novel, discusses writing with limitations, career "up-leveling," and that time she tossed an entire novel draft.

In this creativity conversation Esmé Weijun Wang and I talk about how to deal with artistic jealousy, what it takes to persevere in the face of rejection after rejection, how to endure suffering, how much to share and where do you draw the line, and how do you know your creative voice.

Esmé Weijun Wang's debut novel The Border of Paradise is one of my favorite books so far this year. A multigenerational epic centered on an interracial family, the Nowaks, this book touches on so many profound topics, from mental illness to intergenerational trauma to culture clash to the very question of what it means to be a family, all done in stunningly beautiful prose. Esmé and I had a great conversation about her book in the first segment, and in the second segment we chatted about our favorite social media platform: Twitter. (Conversation recorded July 19, 2016.)

This episode, we welcome author Esmé Weijun Wang to discuss her debut novel, The Border of Paradise. Kirkus Reviews called it “Gothic in tone, epic in ambition, and creepy in spades.”  While Wang has been a novelist working on this story since very early in her career, many people know her better as an essayist since that work has been out in the world much longer.  We discuss the process of writing a novel from many different points of view, shifting from non-fiction to fiction in the public eye, and how to deal with having to put your characters through the ringer.  Esmé is a delight and I can't wait to have her back on the show when she writes another book... I suspect there are many stories to come.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
