Hello, Protagonists,Welcome back to Letters from the Creative Life. These occasional essays explore the quieter corners of living: small reflections on art, ambition, and the tender balancing act of building a meaningful life in a noisy world. Think of them as letters from my life to yours. Enjoy!The Invisible Thread: What Authors and Readers Offer Each OtherYears ago, when I was still unpublished and hungry for any connection to the literary world, I had the opportunity to be the conversation partner for a well-known author visiting our local bookstore. I spent hours preparing for the event, and on the day of, I asked thoughtful questions and felt genuinely excited about the discussion we had on stage.But afterward, when she didn't follow me back on social media, I felt stung. Didn't she appreciate what I'd done for her as host in our local community? Wasn't I worth a simple follow?It wasn't until years later, when I was published and began experiencing the reality of public-facing author life, that I understood. That well-known author wasn't being snobby—she was protecting her sanity. The event we'd done together was just one stop on a long tour, one conversation among dozens, not to mention all the press and interviews online. It wasn't mentally healthy for her to follow every bookseller, every conversation partner, and every reader who wanted a piece of her digital attention without drowning in the noise.Then vs. NowThere was a time when a novelist's job was simply to write novels. Authors like J.D. Salinger and Harper Lee could disappear from public view entirely, letting their work speak for itself. Readers had to seek out authors through carefully crafted interviews or rare public appearances, if they encountered them at all.Today, the expectation is radically different. To sell books in the current market, authors are expected to be accessible, relatable, and constantly engaging. We share glimpses of our writing process and our daily routines, and some of us—like me here on Substack—build communities around our creative lives.This intimacy is beautiful, in many ways. But there's also a shadow side to this accessibility.When Knowing Becomes ClaimingThe challenge with parasocial relationships—those one-sided connections where someone feels like they know a public figure personally—isn't that they exist. Parasocial relationships have always existed. People have felt connected to actors, musicians, and even authors for as long as we've had public figures at all.The difference now is proximity and expectation, because digital platforms create the illusion of personal relationship. When an author shares a photo of their morning coffee or talks about their writing struggles, it feels like a text or video call from a friend. The human brain, which evolved for small communities where we actually knew each and every person we interacted with, struggles to distinguish between true intimacy and technologically-enabled accessibility.This confusion can sometimes lead to a sense of ownership over an author's time and attention that feels different from other relationships. Almost every author I know has, at some point, been on the receiving end of a reader lashing out because they were disappointed/upset that the author didn't respond to their email, DM, or social media post.But if we step back and try to look at this objectively, isn't this strange? For example, if a friend recommends a restaurant to you, the friend doesn't expect the chef to come out and personally thank them.Yet, in a world where technology creates a parasocial mirage, it's easy to forget that authors might be fielding hundreds or even thousands of similar messages, or simply taking a much-needed break from being online.The New RealityI think about Suzanne Young, who told me about co-authoring a book with Tom DeLonge from the band Blink-182. During a book signing, a fan approached with scissors because he wanted to cut a piece of Tom's hair to keep as a souvenir. Tom's bodyguard intervened, and afterward, Tom turned to Suzanne and said something like, “Isn't it crazy when that happens?” She laughed and told him that that doesn't happen to authors, it only happens to rock stars.That conversation happened years ago. I'm not sure it would be as clearly true today.Recently, bookstores have had to implement security policies that would have seemed unthinkable just a few years ago. At some events, signs now explicitly state that authors “do not owe fans access, attention, or physical proximity simply by virtue of being public figures.” The fact that this needs to be spelled out shows how normalized certain expectations have become.What We Already Give Each OtherInstead of focusing on the negatives, though, I now want to turn this around and look at the wonderful things we all do for each other. I think it's good to remember that, above all, we love books and we love storytelling. That beautiful common ground is what brings readers and authors together in the first place.What strikes me most about the author-reader relationship is how generous it is on both sides. Readers invest their precious time and emotional energy in our stories. They champion books they love, create communities around shared reading experiences, and offer the kind of support that sustains authors through the inevitable challenges of creative life. This generosity moves me every single day.And authors? We keep showing up to the page, sometimes when inspiration feels elusive, because we know there are readers who need the stories only we can tell. We share parts of ourselves through our work, trusting that these offerings will find their way to the people meant to receive them.The invisible thread between author and reader is real, and it's powerful. Despite what I said before about parasocial relationships, platforms like Substack, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc. are great for allowing us to connect like never before. We just all need to remember to set and keep respectful boundaries of mutual admiration. When we honor both the magic of that connection and the humanity on both sides of it, something extraordinary happens. The stories we share and love become bridges between us—not because we know each other in real life, but because we recognize something true and universal in the work itself.What we offer each other—story and attention, creativity and care—is already enough. Everything else is simply a gift.What brings you the most joy in your reading life? I'm always curious about the moments that remind us why we fell in love with books in the first place.

It's the third in our classics analysis series! To Kill a Mockingbird is one of America's favorite novels. Is it worth its weight in the public's love? Is Atticus Finch the hero we always thought, and does Go Set a Watchman call the novel's moralism into question? We examine these questions with two Harper Lee scholars, Michele Reutter and Jonathan S. Cullick, who wrote Mockingbird Grows Up, a re-examination of Mockingbird through the eyes of Go Set a Watchman. Join us!

#261: Im Gerichtssaal von Alexander City, Alabama, steht im Sommer 1977 ein Mann wegen Mordes vor Gericht. Während einer Beerdigung hat er dem berühmten Reverend Willie Maxwell vor den Augen der gesamten Gemeinde dreimal in den Kopf geschossen. Jetzt wird er vom besten Anwalt der Stadt verteidigt – ausgerechnet dem Erzfeind des Staatsanwalts. In der letzten Reihe des Saals verfolgt eine Frau den Prozess. Vor 20 Jahren hätte sie jeder erkannt. Damals war sie eine der erfolgreichsten Schriftstellerinnen des Landes. Vom Publikum unbemerkt macht sie Notizen für ihr neues True-Crime-Buch. Den Titel hat sie schon: “Der Reverend”. Reverend Willie Maxwell wurde von vielen Menschen geliebt und für sein Charisma verehrt. Doch manche fürchteten den Prediger. In seinem Leben haben sich so unfassbare Schicksalsschläge ereignet, dass viele überzeugt sind: Das kann kein Zufall sein, dahinter müssen höhere Mächte stecken. Aber die Schriftstellerin ist sich sicher, dass etwas anderes hinter all dem steckt. Eine Produktion von Auf Ex Productions.

Lata trzydzieste ubiegłego wieku. Amerykańskie południe, miasteczko Maycomb, w stanie Alabama. Czas Wielkiego Kryzysu i wciąż obowiązującej segregacji rasowej. W takich okolicznościach lokalny prawnik Atticus Finch broni oskarżonego o gwałt czarnoskórego chłopaka Toma Robinsona. Tak w skrócie można byłoby streścić fabułę powieści Zabić drozda autorstwa Harper Lee, nagrodzonej Pulitzerem w 1961 roku i sfilmowanej rok później. To klasyczny dramat sądowy jaki znamy chociażby z filmów Dwunastu gniewnych ludzi czy Sprawa Kramerów, a także opowieść o nierówności społecznej rodem z książek Korzenie Alexa Haleya czy Kolej podziemna Colsona Whiteheada.Fabuła powieści jest pretekstem do postawienia pytań fundamentalnych: Co to znaczy być odważnym?; Czym jest sumienie?; Kto jest moim bliźnim?; Jakie są źródła moralności? i w końcu Czy ludzie są z natury dobrzy czy źli?.O tym w dzisiejszym odcinku cyklu Dobrze się wierzy literaturą rozmawiają prof. Ryszard Koziołek i ojciec Roman Bielecki OP. Przy okazji będą się spierali o szkolną edukację i niedoskonałości wymiaru sprawiedliwości, opowiedzą o swojej fascynacji westernami i tajemniczymi jeźdźcami przybywającymi znikąd, którzy przywracają porządek w małych społecznościach, a także przyglądać się będą niezwykłemu przedstawieniu Chrystusa w kościele garnizonowym w Katowicach, tak innemu od wizerunku przypominającego Miłosiernego i Dobrego Pasterza.

Buenas noches buenos días. A qué edad es uno demasiado mayor ya para aprender a tocar la guitarra. Cuándo es demasiado tarde para arrancarle unos acordes que emocionen de verdad a la gente. Por qué siempre es la misma canción la que resuena cuando le decimos adiós al mes de abril en curso, inolvidable, inasumible, imposible, que se nos escapa entre las manos. En la gira de despedida ‘Hola y adiós' del maestro Sabina no falta nunca este himno, tan nuestro, tan urbano y ramplón, ‘Quién me ha robado el mes de abril'. Roguemos al señor, te rogamos óyenos. El Criticón de La Cultureta Gran Reserva reflexiona esta semana con hondura sobre temas filosóficos como ése de abril y, además, se asoma a los 99 años del nacimiento de Harper Lee. Parece que fue ayer. Todos: “Atticus Finch, no soy digna de que entres en mi casa, pero una palabra tuyas bastarán para sanarme”. Oremos. Finalmente, en la recomendación de la semana, momento para la cuenta de TikTok @poetica2cero. Mil poemas nos esperan allá.

Justin and Dan start the show by looking back at the NFL Draft destinations for Auburn's three picks from this past weekend. They discuss why the Rams pulled the trigger on Jarquez Hunter, how KeAndre Lambert-Smith fell into a good situation with the Chargers and what the prospects might be for Jalen McLeod with the Jaguars. After that, they look ahead to the 2026 draft class, led by a ton of Keldric Faulk hype.Then the guys switch over to their state of the offense for 2025, headlined by Hugh Freeze tripling down on his style and his staff after a losing campaign. Justin makes a point about Jackson Arnold and where he could make a big impact for the Tigers in an area of need. Dan shares his thoughts on the running back situation and how this could be a step forward for the offensive line.This episode also includes a surprising amount of discussion on musicals and some inadvertent slander of an Alabama literary legend. We know Harper Lee has shooters.If you're receiving this free podcast episode and would like to upgrade to a paid subscription that gives you access to all stories and premium podcast episodes, subscribe using the button below or clicking this link.Follow Dan (@dnpck) and Justin (@JFergusonAU) on Twitter.

Harper Lee didn't betray Atticus Finch — she revealed the hard truth we didn't want to face. In this episode, we break the silence around Go Set a Watchman and reclaim the wisdom the world tried to cancel. Real justice demands hard truths, not empty slogans. Atticus knew it. We ignored it. Now we live with the consequences. Are you brave enough to hear the real message? "You can't fix the foundation by repainting the wall" "We traded hard truth for easy lies — and called it progress."

'Bad Hombre' de Pola Oloixarac (Random House) es una novela , podría ser un reportaje, pero se impone la ficción que no afecta a los hechos. Podemos darle muchas vueltas al género literario de este libro, pero lo que es seguro es que no va a pasar desapercibido. Pola no se corta y entra de lleno en las polémicas cancelaciones de hombres que tienen que ver más con sospechas que con hechos, con las condenas que no hace falta probar. Ella cree que este tipo de acciones hacen un flaco favor al feminismo. Sabe que su libro es provocador, pero no le importa. Ella narra historias que le han contado hombres y mujeres que son o fueron de su entorno o que se pusieron en contacto con ella. Es una novela con la que acabas discutiendo ¿Pero acaso no es bueno debatir? Seguro que sí. Además de su libro, Pola Oloixarac nos ha donado dos libros que cree que todo el mundo debe leer: 'El mundo deslumbrante' de Siri Husvedt (Seix Barral) y 'Pálido fuego' de Vladimir Nabokov (Anagrama) . Antes, Antonio Martínez Asensio, nuestro bibliotecario, nos trajo 4 libros relacionados con la actualidad: 'Sobre la tiranía: 20 lecciones que aprender del siglo XX " de Timothy Snyder (Galaxia Gutemberg), 'El valle de las flores' de Niviaq Korneliussen (Sexto Piso), 'Hojas de hierba' de Walt Whiman (Alianza) y 'Matar a un ruiseñor' de Harper Lee (Harper Collins). En el capítulo de novedades, Pepe Rubio trajo dos y un premio. Las dos novedades: 'Una vida ' de Alejandro Palomas (Destino) y 'Orbital' de Samantha Harvey (Anagrama). El premio, el Alfaguara 2025 que se acaba de fallar: 'Arderá el viento" de Guillermo Saccomano (Alfaguara). Del programa 'Un libro una hora' de Martínez Asensio nos quedamos con 'La flecha negra' de Robert Louis Stevenson (Alianza Editorial). Y finalmente los oyentes de Hoy por Hoy nos han donado 'El bosque animado' de Wenceslao Fernández Florez (Austral) y 'La verguenza' de Annie Ernaux (Cabaret Voltaire y Tusquets)

A pursuit of the performance arts career we want: acting, VO, writing and more.And we often look to those who have "made it" for guidance.How did they get success?

Guest Christina Hough dives into the topic of neurodivergence in the legal field. The subject refers to how people learn and behave. We're all “neurodivergent” in that we are all different. The term covers everything from the autism spectrum to ADHD issues to our own individual quirks and how we interact, learn, and understand each other. When it comes to neurodivergence, the legal system has a particular interest. It has been estimated about 12.5% of lawyers report having ADHD, attention deficit disorders, nearly triple the rate of the general population. And that's just the beginning. Law is a stressful profession, and many may not know they have a neurodivergence issue – issues that may only reveal themselves under extreme stress. That's why awareness is so important as we learn to account for our own differences and others' and make sure we are communicating with and understanding coworkers and even opposing counsel and witnesses. It all starts with being aware and giving thought to how the person across the desk processes information and communicates. As the great (fictional) attorney Atticus Finch taught us in “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view … until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” Mentioned in This Episode: San Diego Paralegal Association “Lawyers With ADHD: Understanding Neurodiversity in the Legal Profession,” JD Nation “Neurodivergence in Law: The Importance of Advanced Communication in Legal and Neutral Practice” from Will Work for Food with Christina Hough Christina Hough's Presentation “To Kill a Mockingbird Quote Analysis,” Bartleby NALA Conference & Expo 2025 NALA, The Paralegal Association Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we review the classic 1962 courtroom drama, "To Kill a Mockingbird", starring Gregory Peck and Mary Badham! Listen now!
Book Vs. Movie: To Kill a MockingbirdThe 1960 Novel Vs. the 1962 MovieThe 1962 film adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird, directed by Robert Mulligan, is a powerful retelling of Harper Lee's classic novel. The story follows Atticus Finch, played by Gregory Peck in an Oscar-winning performance, as he defends Tom Robinson (Brock Peters), a Black man falsely accused of raping a white woman in 1930s Alabama.The film is seen through the eyes of Atticus's young daughter, Scout (Mary Badham), and her brother Jem (Phillip Alford), who grapple with the harsh realities of racism and injustice in their small town. Key characters include Dill Harris (John Megna), Scout and Jem's imaginative friend, and Boo Radley (Robert Duvall), the mysterious neighbor who ultimately reveals his true character. The movie focuses on the moral courage of Atticus and the loss of innocence experienced by the children, capturing the essence of the novel's themes in a more streamlined narrative.Which version did we (the Margos) prefer? Have a listen to find out. In this ep, the Margos discuss:The amazing story of Harper Lee and her life and times.

The Novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" was written by Harper Lee in 1960. The story details a black man accused wrongly of the rape of a white woman. It was as though Harper Lee had heard the true story of Robert Milton. Milton was a black man accused of rape by a white teenager in 1920s Mississippi. He was convicted and executed and most people believe he was an innocent man. Perhaps that is why he haunts the courthouse where he was hanged, the Old Tishomingo County Courthouse. Join us for this compelling story of how rape was treated in the 1920s, how racism biased a jury and the history and hauntings of an old southern courthouse.

Carolina Zabalza (@carozabalzacoach) es una coach de vida argentina especializada en Bioneuroemoción, con una serie de experiencias significativas que la han acercado a la espiritualidad. Durante la pandemia, Caro viajó desde España a Buenos Aires, donde enfrentó la dolorosa pérdida de su tía a causa del Covid-19, mientras su madre estaba gravemente enferma. Este difícil momento la impulsó a reconectar con estudios místicos que la ayudaron a explorar su mundo interior. Poco tiempo después, tuvo que lidiar con la muerte de su padre, un proceso difícil debido a la distancia que los separaba, ya que no se encontraban en el mismo país. Esta experiencia reforzó en ella la necesidad de encontrar un centro de paz y una zona de confort dentro de sí misma, lo cual logró a través de sus estudios en Bioneuroemoción y Cábala. A lo largo de su camino espiritual, Caro ha ido explorando cómo descubrir nuestro propósito de vida, y la importancia de la forma en que nos hablamos a nosotros mismos. Su propósito ahora es compartir estos conocimientos que la han transformado, y guiar a otros en el profundo y enriquecedor viaje de autoconocimiento y crecimiento interior.

David talks to the writer and broadcaster Helen Lewis about Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird (1960), one of the most widely read and best-loved novels of the twentieth century, and in the twenty-first century increasingly one of the most controversial. Is the book an attack on or an apology for Southern racism? How does its view of race relate to the picture it paints of class and caste in 1930s Alabama? And what on earth are we to make of the recently published prequel/sequel Go Set A Watchman? Plus we discuss Demon Copperhead, JD Vance, and more.Sign up now to PPF+ to get ad-free listening and all our bonus episodes – including a new bonus episode on Philip Roth's The Plot Against America www.ppfideas.com Our free fortnightly newsletter will be out tomorrow, including more to read, watch and listen to about To Kill A Mockingbird – just sign up here https://linktr.ee/ppfideasNext time: Tim Rice talks about Evita Hosted on Acast.

In 1949, aspiring writer Nelle Harper Lee moved from her home in small-town Alabama to New York City. She was following in the footsteps of her childhood friend, author Truman Capote. Within a few years she had penned a novel of her own, and called it To Kill a Mockingbird.To Kill a Mockingbird catapulted Harper Lee to the heights of literary fame. But just as she found success, she withdrew, overwhelmed by being in the public eye, and the pressure to produce another book as good as her first. Decades would pass before anyone mentioned the possibility of her publishing again - and this time, people wondered how much of a voice she really had in the publication of her second book.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
