What is braver than sharing your own story with the world? Nothing. This episode of the Velshi Banned Book Club will examine two true stories: “Hunger” by Roxane Gay and “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls. While these two memoirs are windows into two vastly different worlds, they are both masterclasses in the age-old tradition of storytelling as a warning, as a lesson, and as a means to understand oneself. “Hunger” is a breathtaking examination of the societal demands of appearance and a salient reminder of how radical self-acceptance is. “The Glass Castle” is a searing examination of poverty, the intricacies of family, and the all-encompassing nature of mental health struggles. Together, they're cultural touchstones and contemporary classics that need to be read.

Es ist ein gnadenlos gutes Stück autofiktionaler Literatur, das Neil Smith mit "Jones" geschrieben hat. Gnadenlos, auch gegen ihn selbst – und in jeder Zeile ist zu spüren, das muss so sein, denn im Leben der Geschwister Abi und Eli werden früh alle Schmerzgrenzen gerissen. Wie präzise und unbestechlich er die Verfangenheit in der dysfunktionalen Familiendynamik einfängt, ist so klarsichtig wie bestürzend. „Shuggie Bain“ und Jeannette Walls' „Schloss aus Glas“ haben mich sehr bewegt, „Jones“ hat mir den Boden unter den Füßen weggerissen. Ein Zeugnis, eine Abrechnung, ein Denkmal für seine Schwester. Ich wünsche Smith alles Glück!

Beide Bücher auf dem heutigen Literaturstammtisch kommen aus Österreich. Monika Helfer erzählt in «Die Jungfrau» von einer intensiven Frauenfreundschaft und vom Umgang mit der Einsamkeit. David Fuchs stellt in seinem aktuellen Buch «Zwischen Mauern» die Frage, ob es bedingungslose Empathie gibt. Zwei Jugendfreundinnen begegnen sich nach einem halben Jahrhundert wieder. Gloria und Monika. Die eine hat Familie und Erfolg als Schriftstellerin, die andere lebt einsam in ihrer riesigen Villa. Monika beschliesst, über Gloria zu schreiben. Das Resultat ist ein schonungsloses, aber liebevolles Portrait einer Frauenfreundschaft – von den sechziger Jahren bis heute. Lea-Dora Illmer stellt Monika Helfers neues Buch «Die Jungfrau» vor. Im Roman «Zwischen Mauern» ist Meta auf der Suche nach Sinn. Als ehrenamtliche Mitarbeiterin verschlägt es sie in ein Pflegeheim, das kaputtgespart wurde und vor der Schliessung steht. Meta wird dort Nachtwache halten – und zwar am Bett eines sterbenden Mannes, der zu schreien beginnt, sobald es dunkel wird. Als Meta mehr von der Geschichte dieses Mannes erfährt, steht sie vor der Frage: Verdienen auch böse Menschen in ihren letzten Tagen liebevolle Zuwendung? Katja Schönherr bringt das Buch an den Literaturstammtisch. Im heutigen Kurztipp empfiehlt Britta Spichiger den neuen Roman der US-Autorin Jeannette Walls, «Vom Himmel die Sterne». Walls erzählt darin die fiktive Geschichte von Sally Kincaid. Eine unerschrockene, starke Frau, die in den 1920-er Jahren erkennt, dass ihre Familie nur überlebt, wenn sie mit illegal selbstgebranntem Whisky handelt. Und so stellt sie – allen gesellschaftlichen Widerständen zum Trotz – ihre eigenen Regeln auf und wird zur «Königin der Kincaid-Schmuggler». Buchhinweise: * David Fuchs. Zwischen Mauern. 223 Seiten.

On this episode of #velshibannedbookclub, MSNBC host and Citizen board member Ali Velshi interviews Jeannette Walls, author of "The Glass Castle." The main reason this book has been banned in schools? Frank and vivid descriptions of challenging situations like alcoholism and abuse. "Our children deserve better," wrote one parent. Velshi and Walls contend that children are better served by exposure to reality.

She has received several awards for her work, including the Magdalena Award, the Herodotus Award, and the Grace Paley Fellowship at Under the Volcano. Notes from Toby:  I have long been a fan of Jeannette Walls. Her memoir Glass Castle gave me permission to tell my own crazy story. Today, I'm lucky enough to live within an hour's drive of Jeannette and so I've been able to connect with her at several book events. A few months ago, Jeannette posted on Facebook a photo of her with a young college student, and shared the story that many years ago Jeannette was speaking at a college when a girl came up to her for a photo and shared that she wanted to be an author also. Today, that woman, Brittany Means, just published an amazing memoir. Jeannette reached out to me and said, “Toby, I think Brittany could be one of your fierce women!” I immediately scheduled her interview. Of course, I also bought the memoir – and you should too! Another powerful life story by a talented woman author! Key Topics and Time Stamps: [6:57] What did putting your story out into the world feel like? [10:24] Who has been your most important mentor?

Ich bin Sallie Kincaid verfallen! Diese taffe junge Frau lässt sich von nichts und niemandem was sagen – da ist Sallie genau wie der Duke, ihr Vater, den sie über alles liebt, obwohl er sie in die Verbannung schickt, denn Sallie ist der zweiten Frau des Duke ein Dorn im Auge ... In ihrer vielschichtigen, grandiosen Saga nimmt Jeannette Walls, die mit dem Memoir „Schloss aus Glas“ bekannt geworden ist, mit ins ländliche Virginia der frühen 1920er-Jahre, mitten hinein ins Leben einer verzweigten Familie, in der es mehr Geheimnisse gibt als Schwarzbrennereien in der aufziehenden Prohibitionsära. So hinreißend wie mitreißend! Am Dienstag, den 5. Dezember 2023, um 19.30 Uhr sprechen Jeannette Walls und ich live bei Instagram. Das ist eine unbezahlte Kooperation. „Vom Himmel die Sterne“ von Jeannette Walls ist bei Hoffmann und Campe erschienen. Ulrike Wasel und Klaus Timmermann haben die 448 Seiten aus dem Amerikanischen übersetzt. Das Hardcover kostet 25 Euro.

Family secrets are now the stuff of tell-all memoirs, thanks largely to Jeannette Walls and her book The Glass Castle. Jeannette turned the book world - and the world in general - on its ear with her account of growing up rootless, homeless and in dire poverty. Jeannette has now moved on to fiction. Hang the Moon is her latest, the story of an intrepid young woman who becomes a bootlegger during Prohibition. We talk about memoirs and memories, truth and fiction, and what it's like to have Woody Harrelson play your father. Jeannette Walls is an American author and journalist, widely known as a former gossip columnist for MSNBC until she wrote The Glass Castle, a memoir of her nomadic childhood and family life, that catapulted her onto the NYT bestseller list, where the book has remained for the past 8 years. Her third novel, Hang the Moon, was published in March 2023. Jeannette lives with her husband on a 200 acre ranch in Virginia. A version of this episode appears in video form on YouTube but sadly we lost connection to Jeannette's video about halfway through. A transcript of the episode is here.

Jeannette Walls, author of "The Silver Star," talks about the difficulty in choosing what to do when people who are supposed to be in a position of authority violate that authority, as the two sisters Bean and Liz experience in the novel. The full version of this 2013 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts.

Ahead of her debut memoir hitting shelves in October, J.R. Jamison sits down with Brittany Means to discuss the power of the human spirit—and the written word—to combat the most harrowing of childhood memories.   Hailed by Jeannette Walls (author of The Glass Castle) as “Gut-wrenching but at the same time triumphant,” Hell If We Don't Change Our Ways untangles the web of Means's most painful memories, while crafting a tale of self-preservation, resilience, and hope. Synopsis – Brittany Means's childhood was a blur of highways and traumas that collapsed any effort to track time. Riding shotgun as her mother struggled to escape abusive relationships, Brittany didn't care where they were going—a roadside Midwestern motel, a shelter, or to The Barn in Indiana (the cluttered mansion her Pentecostal grandparents called home) as long as they were together. But every so often, her mom would surprise her—and leave. As Brittany grew older and questioned her own complicated relationships and the poverty, abuse, and instability that enveloped her, she began to recognize that hell wasn't only the place she read about in the Bible; it was the cycle of violence that her family was stuck repeating. Through footholds such as horror movies, neuropsychology, and strong bonds, Brittany makes sense of this cycle and finds a way to leave it.

On May 11, 2023, Rachel Beanland gave a lecture about the historical research behind her novel about the Richmond Theater Fire, The House is On Fire. Rachel Beanland's latest novel, The House Is On Fire, is based on the true story of the 1811 Richmond Theater fire and is already being called “a stunning achievement” by Jeannette Walls and “a propulsive, pulse-pounding read” by Kathleen Grissom. The novel begins the night of the fire and follows four characters—white and Black, free and enslaved—who experience the incendiary event from very different perspectives. Beanland based all four characters on the lives of real people who lived through the fire and its aftermath, and in this talk, she'll share how she used primary and secondary sources—including archival material belonging to the Virginia Museum of History and Culture—to bring these characters and others to life. Rachel Beanland's first novel, Florence Adler Swims Forever, was selected as a book club pick by Barnes & Noble, a featured debut by Amazon, an Indie Next pick by the American Booksellers Association, and one of the best books of 2020 by USA Today. It was also named a New York Times Editors' Choice and was recognized with the 2020 National Jewish Book Award for Debut Fiction. Beanland earned her MFA in creative writing from Virginia Commonwealth University and lives in Richmond, Virginia, with her family. Her newest book is The House is On Fire. The content and opinions expressed in these presentations are solely those of the speaker and not necessarily of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.

Meet Jeannette Walls, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle, her unforgettable childhood memoir that sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. Walls talks about her writing life and newest novel, Hang the Moon, with guest host Susan Odgers. Her highly anticipated novel follows the journey of Sallie Kincaid, a feisty and fearless, terrified and damaged young woman who refuses to be corralled in her small Virginia town during the Prohibition era. Sallie is the daughter of the biggest man in a small town, the charismatic Duke Kincaid. Born at the turn of the 20th century into a life of privilege, Sallie remembers little about her mother who died in a violent argument with the Duke. By the time she is just eight years old, the Duke remarried and had a son, Eddie. While Sallie is her father's daughter, sharp-witted and resourceful, Eddie is his mother's son, timid and cerebral. When Sallie tries to teach young Eddie to be more like their father, her daredevil coaching leads to an accident, and Sallie is cast out. Nine years later, Sallie returns, determined to reclaim her place in the family. That's a lot more complicated than she expected. Sallie confronts the secrets that hide in the shadows of the Big House, navigates the factions in the family and town, and finally comes into her own as a bold, sometimes reckless bootlegger. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nationalwritersseries/message

Hang the Moon by Jeannette Walls. She wrote a wonderful memoir some years ago called The Glass Castle which was also made into a really good film. This one is fiction - although some of it is based on her upbringing. Set during Prohibition in the state of Virginia, it's about young Sallie Kincaid whose father, known as The Duke, is the big man in the region - but she's banished from the family home after an accident and it takes nine years to be allowed back. She's determined to show her father she's capable of helping run the family business - bootlegging - but neither her family, nor the business, are for the faint of heart. So many things are being compared to Succession these days, but this book could equally claim to bear a likeness.  The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese. Super astonishingly good book - have just finished all 750 pages of it and I didn't want it to end. About ten years ago he wrote a book called Cutting for Stone which made a huge impact at the time. This new one is simply wonderful. Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, it's set in Kerala, on South India's Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. From this unforgettable new beginning, the young girl—and future matriarch, known as Big Ammachi—will witness unthinkable changes over the span of her extraordinary life, full of joy and triumph as well as hardship and loss, her faith and love the only constants.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We talk about the risks presented by wildfire smoke with Michael Mehta (Professor, Department of Environment, Culture, and Society, Thompson Rivers University) and the fight against cuts to staff and resources, as Alberta firefighters are battling more than just flames, with Harold Larson (Canadian wildland firefighter, author of “The Wildfire Twenty”). Binance leaves Canada - Henry Kim (Associate Professor of Operations Management and Information Systems; Co-Director, BlockchainLab, York University) gets into what this mean for the future of crypto trading in the country, and family lore and female empowerment in Prohibition-era Virginia set the stage for a new novel from bestselling author Jeannette Walls (writer and novelist, author of “The Glass House” and “Hang the Moon”).

Jeannette Walls' memoir The Glass Castle became an international bestseller that sold over 5 million copies. Walls' father Rex was an alcoholic who dreamed of inventing a gold-detecting gizmo that would make him rich enough to build a glass castle. The family moved around a lot, usually before the rent came due. At one point Jeannette and her siblings were left at their grandparents' house where they often had to scrounge food from garbage cans. Now Walls has written a novel called Hang the Moon. about a gutsy young woman who becomes a rum runner during Prohibition. We talk about what it's like to grow up poor and how your life changes when you become very, very rich. “Now What?” is produced with help from Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jullian Androkae. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.

Zibby is joined by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jeannette Walls to discuss Hang the Moon, an energetic and propulsive Prohibition-era story about an indomitable young woman in a world of lawlessness, secrets, scandals, and death. Jeannette describes her love of history and her fascination with prohibition, which stems from a childhood with an alcoholic father. She also talks about her feisty protagonist, her extensive historical research and obsessive re-writing, and her relationship with fiction. She also reveals what it was like to see her memoir The Glass Castle come to life in its film adaptation and what she is up to now–a beautiful, small-town life.

Soooo over covid; let's talk about Jeannette Walls's memoir The Glass Castle!

In Episode 95, Cheryl Diamond joins me to discuss what it was like to have been "born a ghost," her outlaw life with her fugitive parents, on the run from Interpol and other government agencies, and what brought her to detail her tumultuous childhood in her latest memoir, Nowhere Girl. This post contains affiliate links, through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). Highlights What prompted Cheryl's decision to write this memoir now. How Cheryl weighed her fear for her own safety against the need to share her story. What delayed Cheryl starting therapy and where she is now in her healing journey. Cheryl talks about her time, along with her brother, as elite athletes training for the Junior Olympics while still on the run. Why Cheryl feels like she lost her 20s and the toll this has taken on her health and well-being. How her childhood was both a magical adventure and a chaotic and dark time. Cheryl discusses the fact-checking of her memoir and a scene that was almost cut from Nowhere Girl for legal reasons.

At sixteen, Cheryl was scouted by a modeling agency and arrived in New York City with nothing but $300, her cat, and a fair bit of life experience.  Between shoots and castings, she began to write.  Model: A Memoir, a behind the scenes account of her life as a young high fashion model, was published by Simon & Schuster five years later.  The book was featured by the New York Times, the L.A. Times, Good Morning America, and Fox News Live. Her second book, Naked Rome, tells the story of the Eternal City through the eyes of its most fascinating people, and was published in 2019. Cheryl's newest project, Nowhere Girl, the shocking true story of her outlaw childhood, hit shelves on June 2021.  She currently lives in Rome and obeys the law — most of the time.

Vulnerable. Brave. Inspiring. Those are just a few words of many I could use to describe Raquel McCloud. Beginning with the day she was born, this woman was not dealt an easy hand of cards. But, just like the story line from so many of her favorite books and movies, she was able to rise above her circumstances and create a beautiful life out of the hard and the messy. And not only that, but she is using the things she has been through and many of the things she is still dealing with to help inspire and teach and encourage others. I'm so thankful that she is willing to share the things she is struggling with and working on so that we can all benefit from it! Last week, Raquel came on the show and shared Part 1 of her Lifetime Original story. That story included some childhood trauma and abuse, experiences with adoption and emancipation, and a romance that began in none other than Taco Bell. Today, we're continuing that story and hearing about what her family dynamic looks like now. She's also sharing on the stereotypes of birth moms, rights that birth moms should have, and how we can all be better advocates for such an underprivileged group of women. Adoption and birth stories aren't the only thing Raquel likes to share about, though. She also gets super vulnerable online sharing about mental health struggles, body positivity and self love, parenting, marriage, and many other hard but beautiful things that we can all relate to! Over the course of her online growth, Raquel has had to endure a lot of critics. But as she would tell you, it's worth it to reach those who she knows can relate to her struggles. Those who have felt isolated and alone for so long and didn't know there was anyone else out there who understood how they felt. She has found purpose in her pain and in her journey and isn't going to let a few online haters stop her from sharing it!

Last week I sat down with NYT bestselling author, Jeannette Walls to chat about “The Glass Castle”, a new film based on a book she penned about her experiences growing up in poverty. While her story is quite engaging, it pales in comparison to the enchanting presence Jeannette has in person. It's not a word I use often, but “vivacious” is the perfect description for her. Our ten minutes together blew by as we discussed the impact her youth had on her adult life, and how well the film captured the essence of her family.

Joel's work is heavily inspired by the wilderness and the wide open spaces of North America.His career spans over 10 years, with his original style being lent to the upcoming highly anticipated Destin Daniel Cretton film THE GLASS CASTLE including an original song titled ‘Summer Storm', written and performed by Joel himself. This score, with Americana roots, is an exercise in storytelling through music..Chronicling the adventures of an eccentric, resilient and tight-knit family, THE GLASS CASTLE is a remarkable story of unconditional love. Oscar® winner Brie Larson brings Jeannette Walls's best-selling memoir to life as a young woman who, influenced by the joyfully wild nature of her deeply dysfunctional father (Woody Harrelson), found the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.In this episode of the THE ANNOTATOR, Joel P. West shares about the musical language he needed to create to cover a timespan of over 30 years in THE GLASS CASTLE. He also talks about his use of themes reflecting the different aspects of key relationships in the film instead of the characters themselves. He also shares why no electronics were employed in the instrumentation or effects processing. Finally he talks about how they employed his score to bridge several jumps in time within the film.ANNOTATED TRACKS01:44 - Track 1 - “Rich City Folk”05:23 - Track 4 - “Real School”07:01 - Track 6 - “It'll be an Adventure”08:54 - Track 8 - “You Promised”11:06 - Track 9 - “Maroon Wave”13:46 - Track 11 - “Funeral”15:26 - Track 14 - “Mountain Goat”OTHER TRACKS00:05 - Track 4 - "Real School”17:43 - Track 9 - “Maroon Wave”THE GLASS CASTLE SOUNDTRACKNo release information is currently available.MORE ABOUT THE COMPOSERYou can find out and hear more music by JOEL P.

Take This Man (Simon & Schuster) Join us this evening and welcome back an icon of literary Los Angeles, Brando Skyhorse! From PEN/Hemingway award winner Brando Skyhorse comes this stunning, heartfelt memoir in the vein of "The Glass Castle "or "The Tender Bar," the true story of a boy's turbulent childhood growing up with five stepfathers and the mother who was determined to give her son everything but the truth. When he was three years old, Brando Kelly Ulloa was abandoned by his Mexican father. His mother, Maria, dreaming of a more exciting life, saw no reason for her son to live his life as a Mexican just because he started out as one. The life of "Brando Skyhorse," the American Indian son of an incarcerated political activist, was about to begin. Through a series of letters to Paul Skyhorse Johnson, a stranger in prison for armed robbery, Maria reinvents herself and her young son as American Indians in the colorful Mexican-American neighborhood of Echo Park, California. There Brando and his mother live with his acerbic grandmother and a rotating cast of surrogate fathers. It will be over thirty years before Brando begins to untangle the truth of his own past, when a surprise discovery online leads him to his biological father at last. From an acclaimed, prize-winning novelist celebrated for his "indelible storytelling" ("O, The Oprah Magazine"), this extraordinary literary memoir captures a son's single-minded search for a father wherever he can find one, and is destined to become a classic.  Praise for Take This Man "Take This Man is a grand story full of fantastic characters--characters whom the author brings vividly to life because they ARE his life. Skyhorses's shifting identity creates an intense quest for meaning, a kind of whodunit memoir that explores the sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, often absurd, and always fascinating childhood that the author, no matter his lineage, has no choice but to claim as his own. Pour a shot of Wolff's This Boy's Life, add a jigger of Moehringer's The Tender Bar, throw in a splash of Rivera's Family Installments, and this is what you get: a heady cocktail of memories with a twist."--Kim Barnes, Author of In the Kingdom of Men and In the Wilderness: Coming of Age in Unknown Country "Take This Man is as astonishing a memoir as I've ever read. Brando Skyhorse's beautifully-told tale of his truly bizarre childhood and his search for a father moved me in a way that few books have. I will never forget Skyhorse's charismatic mother and grandmother, nor the tortured triangle the three of them formed. I was reminded at times of Geoffrey Wolff's "The Duke of Deception", and also of "The Glass Castle" by Jeanette Walls and "The Tender Bar" by J.R. Moehringer. But I guarantee that this is a family story unlike any you've read before. It deserves to become a classic."--Will Schwalbe, New York Times bestselling author of The End of Your Life Book Club "The details of Brando Skyhorse's life are as outlandish and attention-grabbing as his name. Imagine the kind of mother who advertises you for adoption in the back of a magazine and then denies it to your face, or the kind of stepfather who calls his prison 'Arizona State, ' as if discussing his alma mater. Take This Man is a funny and harrowing and touching portrait of the abyss in families between what we know we should do and how our hearts lead us to behave."--Jim Shepard, author of Like You'd Understand, Anyway and You Think That's Bad "A beautiful, compassionate, but also hilarious and hair-raising tale of one boy's life, the lies and truths his mother told, and the damage and the magic she created. Brando Skyhorse is an irresistible writer with an incredible story."--Jeannette Walls, author of The Glass Castle "This gorgeous, wrenching, ultimately uplifting book is a testament to the large and generous heart of its author. Brando Skyhorse has made art out of the chaos of his own extraordinary family history, and, in so doing, has raised the bar, not only for memoirists, but for us all."--Dani Shapiro, bestselling author of Still Writing "Take This Man reaches beyond the bounds of my imagination. We use the word "survivor" with disgracefully casual ease. But this writer truly survived being held hostage, raised by wolves. Brando's grandmother and mother are terrifying and mesmerizing. Their cruelty to their biographer was audacious, calculated and thrilling to read. Stories molested him and nourished him. And it is with relief that I read in Take This Man flashes of Brando's bitterness and heat, sane fury directed at the Scheherazades who toyed with him. Whatever else they did to him, when he escaped he knew how to tell a story, and this is one hell of story."--Geoffrey Wolff, author of The Duke of Deception Brando Skyhorse's debut novel, The Madonnas of Echo Park, received the 2011 PEN/Hemingway Award and the Sue Kaufman Award for First Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. The book was also a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers pick. He has been awarded fellowships at Ucross and Can Serrat, Spain. Skyhorse is a graduate of Stanford University and the MFA Writers' Workshop program at UC Irvine. He is the 2014 Jenny McKean Moore Writer-In-Washington at George Washington University.
