I Like Your Work: Conversations with Artists, Curators & Collectors
Jen Dwyer grew up on the West Coast, in the Bay Area, California and currently lives and works on the East Coast, between Connecticut and New York. Her playful ceramic sculptures, paintings and otherworldly installations evoke dreams, fantasy, and the desire to escape to a world of one's own creation. Through her artwork, Dwyer creates a uniquely powerful, caring, and intimate feminine world, underscored by the artist's study of Paleolithic talismans, the decadent Rococo aesthetic, and contemporary girlhood culture and ecofeminism. Dwyer received a BFA in Ceramics, BA in Environmental Studies and a minor in Art History from University of Washington. She finished her MFA in the Spring of 2019 from University of Notre Dame where she received a Full Fellowship in Ceramics with a Gender Studies Minor. Dwyer has partaken in many residencies and fellowships, including the Pottery Center in Jingdezhen, China; fellowship at Wassaic Projects and the Museum of Art and Design Studio Residency. Recent exhibitions include the Spring/Break Art Fair in New York City, Maxon Mills Gallery in Wassaic, the Snite Museum, at Notre Dame, a solo exhibition in Manhattan, NY at Dinner Gallery as well as recent and upcoming group exhibition at Hashimoto Contemporary Gallery, Gaa Gallery and Jeff Marfa Gallery. "The Female Gaze is an alternative way of seeing that represents everyone as a subject and acknowledges that people have their own complicated narratives. With this idea in mind Jen Dwyer constructs fanciful, porcelain vessels and sculptures that merge iconography from prehistoric imagery, (such as the Venus of Willendorf, which was thought to be a self portrait of the artist), with the Rococo Aesthetic, infused with contemporary feminist themes. Dwyer create an amalgamation of ceramic sculpture and oil paintings to examine contemporary socially constructed notions of identity by invoking the female gaze. The Female Gaze, coined by Jill Soloway, was created in response to Laura Mulvey's theorization of “the Male Gaze,” which is when cinematic depictions of women are seen as objects of male pleasure. The Female Gaze is an alternative way of seeing; a way of looking/representing that seeks to give everyone agency and make everyone a subject. Rococo art was created in reaction to boredom with the serious baroque style, and instead opted to depict humor, wit, emotion, and whimsy. Characterized by its light-heartedness, the Rococo presents itself at a more intimate scale, often in private spaces. I aim to create other worldly Installations, filled with my ceramic sculptures, to blur the barriers between the private and public, subject and object and self and others."

A Career Retrospective with Kathryn Hahn on April 21, 2017. Moderated by Stacey Wilson Hunt, New York Magazine. Kathryn Hahn’s versatility in both comedy and drama has made her one of Hollywood’s most sought after actresses and has shaped a career full of memorable roles. Hahn was seen in Jill Soloway’s new comedy pilot “I Love Dick” set to premiere on May 12. She plays the role of a wife (Chris) who’s relationship is put to the test when they both fall for the same professor. Hahn also recently has completed production starring in the Max Wrinkler indie coming-of-age film, “Flower,” opposite Adam Scott, Zoey Deutch and Tim Heidecker, set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. Hahn was most recently seen on Season 3 of the Emmy Nominated Amazon original series “Transparent” created by Jill Soloway.

This week, we chat with Jessie Kahnweiler about her short film He's The One. Jessie first became known for writing, directing and starring in a short film called ‘Meet My Rapist' that imagines Jessie bumping into her rapist at the farmer's market, and then dating him. Jessie then wrote, directed, and starred in ‘The Skinny', a dark comedic series based on her 10-year relationship with bulimia. ‘The Skinny' was produced by Jill Soloway, Paul Young, and Refinery29, and premiered at Sundance. Jessie also developed ‘Viagra Diaries' for CW, ‘Bump' for ABC Digital, and staffed on ‘Skam AUSTIN' for Facebook Watch. Jessie's short film, ‘He's The One,' premiered at Sundance this year. She is currently writing a series for Sharon Horgan at the new streaming service, Topic, based on that short. Check out Jessie's latest horror short, RETREAT, that she directed for Hulu.
Who is my character? Why does she say this line? What’s my motivation? These are valid, if not typical, Acting 101 probings. But as a certain actor so simply puts it, “Sometimes, you just need to walk in the door.” That actor is Kathryn Hahn, who is a great example of someone who does just that; she steps into frame and before she utters a line, you’re watching, just waiting for what she’s going to say or do. That takes a rare kind of presence, one that for too long seemed to be hiding in plain sight. Hahn got her first real TV break when Crossing Jordan producer Tim Kring created the role of Lily Lebowski for her in 2001. A string of small but brilliant supporting appearances in comedy features like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, and Step Brothers followed. Luckily, a few sharp-eyed observers spied a keg of talent going largely untapped. In 2008, Marcia Shulman, then Fox’s head of casting, signed Hahn to a rare talent-holding deal. “She was doing the kind of comedy that reminded me of Lucille Ball,” Shulman said. “She is very approachable, she has a very positive, happy presence. She is a great physical comedian, and I think that is missing on TV.” Shulman was right, but if anyone deserves credit for recognizing what others didn’t, it’s writer and director Jill Soloway, who gave Hahn her first lead role in the acclaimed 2013 film Afternoon Delight. As an over- achieving mom and housewife who finds a— let’s call it creative—way to deal with a midlife crisis, Hahn was able to show there were layers to the laughs. “...She has an incredible way into the kind of authentic realness that made the careers of women like Diane Keaton back in the 1970s,” Soloway told The New York Times. “The industry has never really known how to handle a woman like that—a woman whose beauty is so intrinsically linked to her unique character.” Perhaps not fitting into a cinematic pigeonhole isn’t all bad. Hahn is one of the most game actors in the business, the personification of the acting ideal: free, open. She seems equipped to invest any character with warmth, sarcasm, humanity or a bit of ball-busting on an as-needed basis. While “free” could be an understatement for some of her roles in movies like We’re The Millers, Tomorrowland, Bad Words, and the upcoming Bad Moms, she’s just as good, if not even better, at caustic (Boeing-Boeing, her Broadway debut), grounded (Transparent) and...male (her role as Jennifer Barkley on Parks and Recreation was originally written for a man). If you’ve seen her in any of these roles, you’d have a tough time buying that an artist so willing to “go there” with such complete abandon and utter lack of vanity was ever self conscious or timid. But growing up, Hahn was the girl who was always apologizing, saying anything but what she truly meant in order to keep people (mostly her family) happy. She’s said that being able to stand up straight, look people in the eye and command her own space remain a bit of a challenge, even today. But it does get easier once you realize that your gift is who you are, and who you are is pretty much all you need. If Hollywood didn’t know what to do with Hahn in the beginning, she’s shown them now—just about anything.

As a map of our interior world, the Enneagram is meant to bring about or enable spiritual transformation. But what does it look like when we are far enough down our path to see a difference? Our guest, actor/musician and Enneagram three Josh Radnor illustrates that vision today. Josh talks to Ian about growing in his compassion for himself and others, transforming from an unevolved three to an evolved three, recognizing the tension that plays out as a three with a four wing, and what spirituality looks like for him right now. JOSH RADNOR, most famous for his role on the long-running hit sitcom HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, also has an impressive body of dramatic work. Josh wrote, directed, and starred in Sundance feature hits LIBERAL ARTS and HAPPYTHANKYOUMOREPLEASE, and co-starred alongside Katheryn Hahn in Jill Soloway’s AFTERNOON DELIGHT, which also premiered at Sundance. Josh has also starred in numerous plays on Broadway. On television, he starred for two seasons on PBS's MERCY STREET and on NBC’s one-hour drama RISE. He is in a band with musician Ben Lee, called Radnor & Lee, and they just released their second album GOLDEN STATE. You can also see him alongside Al Pacino as the Nazi hunter Lonny Flash in Amazon's HUNTERS.
“Pas ce soir, chéri, j’ai la migraine”. Ce grand classique de l’excuse pour éviter d’avoir une relation sexuelle attribué aux femmes, c’est toute une représentation condensée du désir sexuel féminin : apparemment complexe, plus faible et moins mécanique que chez les hommes. Entre inégalité de représentation, culpabilisation et désintérêt, la baisse ou la disparition de la libido chez les femmes ne suscite pas la même inquiétude que chez les hommes. Ils ont facilement recours à des médicaments comme le Viagra. Pourtant qu’en est-il des traitements pour améliorer le désir féminin et que signifie la baisse de la libido pour les femmes ? Comment représenter le désir féminin et ses aléas ? À travers la science, la littérature et la pop culture, Clémentine et Pauline vous répondent aujourd’hui pour déconstruire l’inquiétude liée à la baisse de la libido féminine et remettre le choix sur le devant de la scène.

The hit series “Transparent” has taken its final bow. Series creator Joey Soloway and star Judith Light speak with host Tim Kash about saying goodbye to the Pfefferman family through song and dance. In this episode, Judith and Joey share their takes on the state of the world, teach Tim an important lesson about pronouns and discuss how they fostered a safe and inclusive environment on set.Note to listeners: The creator of Transparent, formerly known as Jill Soloway, will now be referred to as Joey Soloway. They will continue to use the they/them/their pronouns. This interview was completed prior to that change and so Joey is referred to as Jill throughout the episode.
In anticipation of Sam's upcoming blockbuster commentary track for Hannah Gadsby's newest special Douglas, we are re-releasing segments we did in Episodes 30 and 39. In these back episodes, we respectively discussed Nanette with Rachey and Gadsby's romantic partner Jill Soloway's book She Wants It: Desire, Power, and Toppling the Patriarchy. It is crucial to note that our critiques of Gadsby's special Nanette are not intended to minimize the trauma Gadsby recounts within it, nor are they intended to diminish the brutality of homophobia. These are sensitive and serious topics that we do not want to dismiss flippantly, so we zeroed in on its relation to comedy and the discourse around it. We also do not fault anyone who connected with Gadsby's work on a personal level, and our criticisms of the special should not be interpreted as any kind of attack on anyone on that level. Art, especially when it is released on Netflix, is created for public consumption, and it should inspire constructive intellectual discussion and debate, which is why we chose to cover it. But we do not want any of our critiques to be taken as an attack against or rejection of the ongoing struggle for equity and fairness with regards to women, victims of sexual assault and the LGBTQ community. We proudly support the following organizations doing crucial work to advance the cause of equity for marginalized people, and we want to shout them out and encourage donations here: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ https://www.paypal.me/TransReliefFund https://www.nctsn.org/ https://www.rainn.org/ http://www.nacvcb.org/ https://www.safehorizon.org/ - for New York City https://transequality.org/covid19/mutual-aid-and-emergency-funds --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hog-planet/message
[REBROADCAST FROM OCTOBER 6, 2018]Jill Soloway, creator of “Transparent” and “I Love Dick,” joins us to discuss their new book, She Wants It: Desire, Power, and Toppling the Patriarchy. In this memoir, Soloway tells the story of their parent coming out as transgender, as well as how they pushed through the male-dominated landscape of Hollywood to create the groundbreaking and award-winning Amazon TV series “Transparent.” The book charts Soloway’s evolution from straight, married mother of two to identifying as queer and nonbinary.
Kathryn Hahn is having a sustained ongoing moment and it's arguably been happening since 2013. That year, she starred in Jill Soloway's "Afternoon Delight," and while the response to that Sundance indie was muted, it arguably transformed her career, taking her out of supporting "crazy lady" comedic roles and into the place of lead in complex comedic dramas about female identity, desire and the yearning for much more. Hahn has become something of a muse for many female filmmakers and "Afternoon Delight" lead to terrific turns in Soloway's "Transparent," the overlooked, but short-lived series, "I Love Dick," and lead roles in Tamara Jenkins' "Private Life," and HBO's "Mrs. Fletcher" series from director Nicole Holofcener and author Tom Perrota (known for writing the novels of "Election" and "Little Children"). Hahn's latest two projects couldn't be more different. One is HBO's "I Know This Much Is True" from director Derek Cianfrance alongside Mark Ruffalo. The other is "Central Park," an animated AppleTV+ show from the makers of "Bob's Burgers." In our hour-long chat, we parsed all these topics, most of Hahn's entire career, and even touched a little upon "Wandavision," the upcoming Disney+ Marvel series that she has a role in. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theplaylist/message

Kathryn Hahn On Hollywood Insecurities, Typecasting & 'How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days' More than a month into coronavirus quarantine, Kathryn Hahn has learned how to make things a family affair. Before hopping on Zoom to chat about her new projects, Apple TV+'s Central Park, premiering May 29, and the HBO miniseries This Much I Know Is True, she got ready for the accompanying photoshoot with her 10-year-old daughter, who also acted as a photographer’s assistant. Her kids — Hahn also has a 13-year-old son with her husband, Ethan Sandler — have taught her a lot in the past month or so, including how to use Zoom. “I still have my AOL, still have my Filofax,” she explains. “I really do live basically under a rock.” Like many of us searching for new routines in quarantine, Hahn is learning to adapt to a new normal. “I've been trying to find little glimmers of joy in what is such an awful — I mean awful, awful, awful — mismanaged, horrible situation,” she says. This includes participating in Ryan Heffington's Instagram Live dance classes, which she highly recommends; hanging out with her dogs, Jerry and Banjo; and watching “wildly inappropriate movies” with her kids. (They recently watched There Will Be Blood. Her daughter “loved it.”) They’ve even dipped into her own filmography, with Hahn showing her daughter her very first film, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. The experience was an odd one for the actor, who can't help but be critical of her performance. “It took a while until I realized that I am an actor,” she says, thinking back to her early days in Hollywood. “And I should bring all of myself, whenever I can do a job, that I love it with all of me.” To watch Hahn now is to watch a performer fully in her element. She’s made a career of scene-stealing comedic appearances in movies like Step Brothers and Bad Moms, and in shows like Girls. But more recently, she’s found a niche playing 40-something women exploring their sexuality thanks to the trio of Jill Soloway projects Afternoon Delight, Transparent, and I Love Dick; HBO’s Mrs. Fletcher further cemented Hahn as the go-to for daring, sometimes funny sex scenes. “I just feel lucky enough to say I’ve had the juiciest time,” Hahn says. “In my life, I didn’t find the juicy stuff creatively until I became a mom, which society, the planet, everyone, had told me it was going to be the exact opposite as a woman.” Below, Hahn reflects on what she wishes she could have told her younger self, being typecast, and aging in Hollywood. I never could imagine myself on a screen of any kind. I went to school for theater. I always somehow imagined acting — I just never could place myself in the same category as those titans I saw on those screens. … It's almost like I was pretending to be an actor when I first came out [to L.A.]. I finally was able to show it to my daughter for the first time, who got a huge kick out of it. She loved it. It was very surreal to watch with her and to see that younger version of myself who hadn't quite owned herself as an actor or as a performer. … I was tap dancing as hard as I could, honey. Tap dancing for my life! I still just wish I could go back to that young actor and be like, “Just breathe... You deserve to be here. You don't have to make jokes all of the time. You don't have to minimize yourself... You don't have to be an *sshole. You can just stand in your power. You don't have to give yourself away. Just take what's yours, and don't go home at the end of the night thinking you did anything wrong because you didn't.” It wasn't even about the movie — the movies I'm so proud of, and they're awesome, and fun. It's sweet to think back about that time of my life, and hanging out with those people. That was such a thrill. It was just more of a feeling of not feeling like I deserved to be there. It's funny because I feel like all the best friends that I've played have told the heroines what they've wanted to hear, and I'm trying to think if there is one [that] really said the hard truth to someone. ... The best friends were just there to talk about the phone calls with the guys — if you should call them back. When you should call him back? How many days should you wait? Is that the dress to wear on the date? Now, looking back at some of those movies, an amazing friend [would] be like, “Hey, I'm sorry. I think we're talking about guys too much. I would rather not just play dress-up in fancy clothes. I kind of want to stay in my pajamas and just get takeout and just watch something fun with you because I love you and you're my friend.” In [my] 20s, I had so much debt, I was so happy to be typecast as anything. I was just so happy to be working. Listen, the fact that there was even the word typecast next to me, I was thrilled. [But] there was a summer that I had a teeny part in Step Brothers and then also in Revolutionary Road, and they were so wildly different. That felt like a dreamy summer to me just because it was two completely different projects. I think the older I get, the more chapters are revealing themselves to me that I'm walking through, that you realize as you're walking through them how many, many, many stories are there to be told that we haven't. And not just at this age, but just even looking down the barrel, there's so many. And what I'm hoping is that motherhood and womanhood, that the stigma of age, that ageism, will just lessen and lessen and lessen, and that we don't have to look at it with fear at all anymore. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. Kathryn Hahn shot virtually by Tory Rust at home, assisted by Mae Sandler

In the secluded canyons of Hollywood, Sands Hall—a young woman from a literary family striving to forge her own way as an artist—finds herself increasingly drawn toward the certainty that Scientology appears to offer. Her time in the Church, the 1980s, includes the secretive illness and death of its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, and the ascension of David Miscavige. In Reclaiming My Decade Lost in Scientology, Hall compellingly reveals what drew her into the religion—what she found intriguing and useful—and how she came to confront its darker sides and escape. Hall is in conversation with Maggie Rowe, who has performed in and produced the Comedy Central stage show sitnspin, Los Angeles’s longest running spoken-word show, having taken the reins from creator Jill Soloway in 2002.

In addition to our normal episodes, we will also have a segment called In The Room. We both realised that we are incredibly fortunate that our jobs often have us on the road traveling and attending some epic conferences with some incredible speakers. Realising that we are very fortunate to be able to be in these rooms, we wanted to share with you, our audience, what we hear and learn from these speakers.
Dans la suite de cet entretien, Iris Brey expose le coeur de sa thèse sur le regard féminin à l’écran : à quoi peut-on le reconnaître ? Qu’est-ce que cela change à notre expérience de spectateurice ? Pourquoi est-ce qu’il ne s’agit pas d’une censure, mais au contraire d’une chance pour l’art cinématographique ? Le female gaze n’est pas l’inverse du male gaze, il peut être produit quel que soit le genre du réalisateur ou de la réalisatrice. Il ne s’agit pas d’objectifier les hommes comme on objectifie les femmes, mais bien de tout réinventer : la manière de filmer, de raconter des histoires, de les évaluer en terme critique… et d’enseigner le cinéma !

Join us as we dig in the archives and revisit our conversation with Kathryn Hahn. You've seen her in comedy films like Step Brothers, the Anchorman movies, and many more. These days you can catch her on HBO's Mrs. Fletcher. But when Hahn joined us a couple years ago she starred in Amazon's I Love Dick, based on the Chris Klaus book by the same name. Hahn and Jesse talk about the inherently feminist space that I Love Dick inhabits, and the deeply complex character that Kathryn plays on the show. She talks about working with Jill Soloway, and the special and deeply creative environment that Soloway creates on set.
Nannette Mickle’s work life is a surprising and diverse series of next-things. She’s been a candy and cigarette girl, she’s worked in social services providing housing opportunities for unhoused folks. Back in the 90s, she once understudied as Bobby Brady in a notorious live show directed by Jill Soloway. And these days, she sits bedside...
Jill Soloway sat down with HFPA journalist Henry Arnnaud to talk about their life as a filmmaker, artist, activist and a co-founder of 50/50 by 2020, a movement seeking equity and gender balance in Hollywood as part of the #TimesUp movement. Soloway also talks about their hit Golden Globe-winning Amazon series Transparent, the decision to end with a musical. the learning curve they had with allegations of misconduct against Jeffrey Tambor, and the progress made by the LGBTQ+ movement.
A Groundlings and Saturday Night Live alum who has evolved beyond her improvisational prowess, Michaela Watkins continues to surprise us. “The Unicorn,” “Search Party,” “Transparent” and “Casual” are some of her television highlights. And I loved her in movies like “Afternoon Delight,” “Person to Person,” and the important and inspirational “Brittany Runs A Marathon.” We talk about the vital role she plays in that film, and what, if anything, has changed in regards to meaty roles for woman. Plus she talks about being Jill Soloway’s muse, and the importance of embodying a WHOLE person.

Il mondo delle serie tv è dominato dallo sguardo maschile, così come lo battezzò la critica femminista Laura Mulvey. Ma un altro sguardo è possibile, come ci insegna l'autrice di Transparent e I love dick Jill Soloway. Il "female gaze" è il punto di vista di chi è sempre stato guardato e che, nella serialità contemporanea, decide di diventare protagonista.

MALE FANTASIES, MALE FANTASIES is everything run by male fantasies? If you believe Margaret Atwood the male gaze is inescapable. If a man isn't looking at you (but tbh when is he not?) then you are your own voyeur, always seeing yourself as male culture (“entertainment”) has taught you to -- whether you know it or not. “Protagonism is propaganda that protects and perpetuates privilege,” Jill Soloway announced at TIFF this fall. Gina Young put it another way: “The people with all the power control the stories that get told.” And the stories they're telling are often narratives that reduce women to objects and false dichotomies, narratives that are designed to teach us how to behave, how to be in service of a male agenda, how to be. This episode is about taking control of the ways we're seen -- the ways we're looked at, in what context, on whose terms, and for what purposes. This episode is about two women and two ideas in conversation: What would media look like if we told our own stories? And how could those stories give us permission to really be ourselves? THE FEMALE GAZE is how we see the world, ourselves, & each other. In this episode WE DISSECT DIRECTOR JILL SOLOWAY'S MASTER CLASS: Jill Soloway perfectly articulates our rage, suggestions for what cis-males should do in the feminist utopia, and why Zack Morris is the epitome of white dude fragility. WE VISIT GINA YOUNG'S FEMINIST ACTING CLASS: The tragedies of Hollywood typecasting, queer casting calls and feminist sororities, and how to maintain your sanity when your body is a commodity. This episode features music by DEATH VALLEY GIRLS and INTI WAWA. Hosting by NICOLE KELLY & PHOEBE ÜNTER. Produced by Phoebe and mastered by audiobruja ELYSSA DUDLEY. 1.

Take My Spouse, Please (Trumpeter Books) In love as in comedy, timing is everything. One bad night doesn't mean it's time to quit. Have patience: great marriages, like a successful comedy career, take time. Turns out the cardinal rules of comedy have an uncanny resemblance to the “rules” of building a strong marriage. With humor and grace, writer and comedian Dani Klein Modisett shares a map for navigating your marriage through rough patches, bad jokes, and even nights when you bomb. Take My Spouse, Please shows how thirteen tried-and-true rules of comedy, when applied to marriage, keep you and your spouse connected, enjoying each other, and getting through those inevitable tough times. Bottom line: there is (almost) always room to laugh at a trying situation and, more important, with each other. Along with anecdotes from well-known comedians, comedy writers, marriage counselors, and long-term spouses, Dani delivers the core premise: humor matters. Praise for Take My Spouse, Please “This book makes you realize how valuable laughter is in a marriage. Buy it for your spouse and add years to your relationship.”—Ben Stiller “A wonderful, humorous read for anyone in a marriage or thinking of being in one. My wife, Estelle, and I had the good fortune of being married for sixty-five years. When anyone asked her about making a marriage last, she always replied, ‘Marry someone who can stand being with you.'”—Carl Reiner “My wife and I are either killing or bombing in our marriage, and Dani Modisett's book explains how that's actually a good thing. Finally, some validation that a marriage between two insane people can be a beautiful thing.”—Jim Gaffigan, comedian “Having been married for twenty-seven years and writing about relationships for thirty-five years, I can see that Dani Modisett has captured the straight truth in this book. If you aren't laughing through the years, you aren't sticking together through the years. Sustaining a marriage is tough stuff, and this book, crammed with stories of resilience and humor, is proof that it is possible.”—Iris Krasnow, best-selling author of The Secret Lives of Wives “In her quest to get more humor into her family life, Modisett has written a book with great passion and huge heart. A delight for anyone who is, was, or might ever be married.”—Ayelet Waldman, author of Love and Treasure “Filled with humor, aspirational stories, and practical tips, Take My Spouse, Please helped me reflect on my most cherished relationship: my marriage. It made me feel hopeful about what it takes to stay connected, to grow, and most important, to keep laughing together—always.”—Mallika Chopra, author of Living with Intent “A welcome relief from typical how-to marriage manuals. Highly recommended for everyone who wants more joy and more love in their relationship.”—Ken Page, author of Deeper Dating “Other than having sex, I can't think of anything better for two people who love each to do than to laugh together. Modisett knows this and delivers a book with inspiring stories of happy marriages and highly doable advice to help couples of all kinds.”—Jill Soloway, writer and comedian “For many Irish Catholics, the idea of leaving a marriage after vowing to stay is an idea that if acted upon will lead to eternal damnation. In Dani Modisett's funny, insightful book, she provides wonderful examples of many marriages that last because of shared happiness and understanding rather than fear of a forever spent in hell.”—Mike O'Malley, producer, writer, and actor “My life's work is all about comedy, love, and laughter. Dani manages to look at the most important love relationship we have—our marriage—and see it through the lens of a comedian, coming up with meaningful ideas that can't help but provide results. What a book!”—Yakov Smirnoff, stand-up comedian and actor “I got married six months to the day after I met my now-husband. Best and most irrational thing I have ever done. People laughed at me. Now I know why my marriage works so well—it's because we were two physicians inadvertently following the rules of comedy. Dani nails it, prescribing strategies to keep relationships healthy, honest, and fun. Doctor's orders: read this book!”—Dr. Cara Natterson, New York Times best-selling author of the American Girl advice book The Care and Keeping of You Dani Klein Modisett is a comedian and writer who has been working in the comedy world for the past twenty years. She created and produced several live shows, most notably “Afterbirth . . . Stories You Won't Read in a Parenting Magazine,” which ran for ten years in Los Angeles and several major U.S. cities.

Good Girl (Gallery Books) Told with raw, rugged honesty, this heartrending memoir from journalist Sarah Tomlinson recounts her unconventional upbringing and coming-of-age as colored by her complicated relationship with her father. Sarah Tomlinson was born on January 29, 1976, in a farmhouse in Freedom, Maine. After two years of attempted family life in Boston, her father's gambling addiction and broken promises led her mother to pool her resources with five other families to buy 100 acres of land in Maine and reunite with her college boyfriend. Sarah would spend the majority of her childhood on "The Land" with infrequent, but coveted, visits from her father, who--as a hitchhiking, acid-dropping, wannabe mystic turned taxi driver--was nothing short of a rock star in her eyes. Propelled out of her bohemian upbringing to seek the big life she equated with her father, Sarah entered college at fifteen, where a school shooting further complicated her quest for a sense of safety. While establishing herself as a journalist and rock critic on both coasts, Sarah's father continued to swerve in and out of her life, building and re-breaking their relationship, and fracturing Sarah's confidence and sense of self. In this unforgettable memoir, Sarah conveys the dark comedy in her quest to repair the heart her father broke. Bittersweet, honest, and ultimately redemptive, Good Girl takes an insightful look into what happens when the people we love unconditionally are the people who disappoint us the most, and how time, introspection, and acceptance can help us heal."" Praise for Good Girl: “A compelling, insight-laden memoir documenting the devastating impact of a father's undependable love on a daughter. Tomlinson's lucid depiction of her DIY backwoods girlhood and punk teen years, precocious entry to college, tempestuous love life and literary ambitions, her excesses and failures and successes—portrays a young woman whose emotional life is a shimmering, shifting sea whose currents are shaped by a geologic formation a the bottom, the charming bohemian fantastist that was her father.”–Janet Fitch, New York Times bestselling author of White Oleander “Tomlinson is a clear-eyed, compassionate writer, and she brings an emotional rigor to this book that is rare and beautiful.” –Edan Lepucki, bestselling author of California “Good Girl is a father-daughter story unlike any other I've read before. Tomlinson's prose is vivid and compelling, bringing you right along with her as she travels from her rural hometown to the big city in search of fulfillment, clarity, and—hopefully—a sense of peace in her relationship with the man who made her who she is.”–Jill Soloway, creator of the 2015 Golden Globe-winning television show “Transparent” and author of Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants “Shot from the heart, Tomlinson's memoir of her dance around her enigmatic and elusive father resonated deeply with me, as it will with anyone who has yearned for a parent's love and their own place in the world.”–Wendy Lawless, New York Times bestselling author of Chanel Bonfire “Sarah Tomlinson's Good Girl courageously explores the central journey of every woman's life: from wanting the love of Daddy -- and the men who stand in for him -- to learning how to love herself.”–Tracy McMillan, television writer and author of the soon to be released Multiple Listings; I Love You and I'm Leaving You Anyway, and Why You're Not Married...Yet “With great poignance and vulnerability, Tomlinson turns a frank, funny, and honest gaze on one girl's struggle to redefine ‘good' on her own terms.”–Jillian Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of Some Girls: My Life in a Harem Sarah Tomlinson has more than a decade of experience as a journalist, music critic, writer, and editor.

Good November Day.

Then, JILL SOLOWAY is here to chat about her various television, film and web projects, strippers and prozzies, what it's like to be a "food Jew" and to have a gay sister, and what kind of tweets make her jealous.

A heady show full of suds and studs and iconic things with which you need to grapple.
Gawky: Tales of an Extra Long Awkward Phase (Seal Press) Some tall girls grow up to have perfect posture and are later seen gracing the pages of magazines. Some are natural athletes with toned legs that mask their overlarge feet. Then there are "other" tall girls: the ones who are always tripping over themselves; who never look normal in any size of clothing; who literally don't fit in. Comedian Margot Leitman was one of these awkward giants, and "Gawky" is the painfully funny chronicle of her experiences growing up tall. Reaching five feet six inches in fourth grade--and approaching six feet in high school--Leitman realized early on that she'd always stand out from the crowd. To cope, she developed a thick skin and a sharp sense of humor, and instead of forever trying to blend in, she decided to embrace her center-of-attention status. Leitman wears funky, Ziggy Stardust-era jumpsuits (in the 90s); takes up any cause she can find (whether saving the public beaches or protesting prom); and generally makes as much use of her big presence as humanly possible. Leitman's memoir is a hilarious celebration of growing up gangly. Endearing and encouraging, "Gawky" is a cathartic release of everything awkward girls endure--and a tribute to a youth larger than life. "If Judy Blume and Chelsea Handler had a baby, and that baby was a book, it would be "Gawky.""--Rachel Dratch Margot Leitman's humorous, autobiographical writing has been published in Playgirl Magazine and The NY Press, as well as online at LifetimeTV.com, theFrisky.com, CollegeHumor.com, and 236.com (the comedy division of the Huffington Post). Her former monthly column, “From Behind the Bar,” was a reminiscence of bartending at the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre and was featured multiple times on Comedy Central Insider, BrooklynVegan.com, and Gawker. She is a regular monologist at Assscat (UCB Theatre's long running improv show hosted by Amy Poehler), Heeb Magazine's Storytelling, Moonwork, Jill Soloway's Sit N Spin, and Comedy Central's Crash Mansion, among others. In 2012, Margot was nominated for an ECNY Award (Excellence in Comedy, NY) for “Best Storyteller.” Margot Leitman lives in Los Angeles. Visit her online at MargotLeitman.com.
