Podcast appearances and mentions of kali fajardo anstine

Host Meg Wolitzer presents two stories about objects of love, and feelings that can't be returned, for very different reasons. In “A Love Letter” by Greg Ames, a boy falls head over heels in a crosswalk. Actor and Young Adult author Maulik Pancholy really captures teen ardor and angst in his reading. And in Kali Fajardo-Anstine's “Sugar Babies,” another teenager learns about adult responsibility from an everyday pantry staple. The reader is Sonia Manzano.

For Halloween, the hobgoblins at Denverite present "Denverfright," an evening of spine-chilling stories at The Bug Theatre. Brown Palace Historian Debra Faulkner informs us the call is coming from INSIDE THE HOTEL. Then, a drink with death at a Colfax dive bar. Plus, Denver novelist Kali Fajardo-Anstine shares a multi-generational family ghost story. And something foul from The Denver Museum of Nature & Science. 

Host Marcia Franklin talks with author Kali Fajardo-Anstine about her short story collection, “Sabrina & Corina,” which was a finalist for a National Book Award, and her novel, “Woman of Light.” Both draw on her own multicultural history to tell stories set in Colorado. Originally Aired: 11/11/2022 The interview is part of Dialogue's series, “Conversations from the Sun Valley Writers' Conference,” and was taped at the 2022 conference. Since 1995, the conference has been bringing together some of the world's most well-known and illuminating authors to discuss literature and life.

K-Ming Chang, Kali Fajardo-Anstine, and Brandon Hobson, moderated by Rita Chang-Eppig At times in these accomplished writers' fiction, the boundaries between the spirit world and the "real world" grow porous or indiscernible, in ways that expand realities and excite readers' imaginations. Woven throughout all of these masterful works of fiction is a reverence for the resonant power of ancient and mysterious tales and spirits. Buy the books here 

Rina Ayuyang, Kali Fajardo-Anstine, and Jane Smiley, moderated by Blaise Zerega The sweeping landscapes of the American West offer writers a broad canvas on which to set epic stories. Three masterful storytellers will transport us through the rich and complex history of California and Colorado as only the best fiction can. Buy the books here

Growing up in Denver, Colorado, Kali Fajardo-Anstine did not see herself, nor her family, represented in books or television. But, she knew she wanted to be a writer. Kali is a mixed Chicana woman with Indigenous and Filipino ancestry; she brings all of that into her work in hopes of creating a space where readers feel represented and seen. Kali is also the author of “Sabrina and Corina,” a collection of short stories that explore the lives of Chicanos and Chicanas in and around Dever, and she recently released her debut novel, “Woman of Light.” In this episode of Latino USA, Kali talks about how her life experiences and identity blend into her work and how she's honoring her ancestors from the American West through her writing.

The opening question for Season 3 Episode 7: do you say "Sunny and Renaissance" or "Renaissance and Sunny"??? Following our typical three part structure, we discuss a listener submitted hot take, a movie we watched together, and recommend each other media. Our lovely patron Elle (we appreciate our patrons so much!! https://www.patreon.com/TheLavenderMenace) submitted a hot take about misandry, which led Sunny to bring up Men's Rights Activists groups working on twisting civil rights law. You can find more info about what Sunny is talking about in this article: https://jezebel.com/men-accused-of-sexual-misconduct-on-campuses-are-suing-1848347194. Then, we discuss white women and misandry, and recommend the books They Were Her Property by Stephanie Jones-Rogers and Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall. We go on to discuss the movie The Birth of a Nation, transmisogyny, and getting discriminated against for an identity you don't even hold. Renaissance complains more about male feminists and the desire for oppressed groups to have all the answers. For our shared media portion of the episode, we discuss Saving Face (2004) Alice Wu, which we mentioned in our previous episode. We compare our Letterboxd star ratings, and Sunny compares the movie to Lulu Wang's The Farewell, and Wu's other movie The Half of It . Finally, Renaissance recommends HBO's Big Little Lies, and Sunny recommends the books The Perks of Loving A Wallflower by Erica Ridley and Sabrina & Corina by Kali Fajardo-Anstine. Thank you for being a listener! You can find us on Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, Letterboxd, and Patreon at The Lavender Menace Podcast.

Mariquita loves big, old Russian novels, but who has the time? And, frankly, haven't we all already read those? (I still love them!) The answer is obviously incredibly rich, beautifully surreal short stories written by Latinx women. Stories that feature strong, flawed, fully-realized characters. Mariquita talks about three collections that she's really enjoyed, and urges you to check them out, too.   Books/Resources Mentioned:  Her Body and Other Stories by Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado, Sabrina and Corina by Kali Fajardo-Anstine, Eat the Mouth that Feeds You by Carribean Fragoza   Follow and support our hosts: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oh_murray   Support our sponsors!

Episode 90 Notes and Links to Bill Esparza's Work         On Episode 90 of The Chills at Will Podcast, Pete welcomes Bill Esparza, as the two discuss, among other topics, ideas of Chicanismo, representation in popular culture and literature, the repression of the speaking of Spanish, and Mexican food as hyper regional and incredibly-varied, with its rich histories shown in Bill's book and in his recent series about California's “barbacoa trail.”          Bill Esparza is a professional musician, writer, and fixer whose travels throughout Latin America have made him a leading expert on Latin American cuisines. He fell in love with Mexican cooking at his grandmother's table and on childhood trips to his family's hometown of Aguascalientes, Mexico, where he was introduced to street food. His original style of writing and passion for culture have made Esparza a go-to source for magazines, newspapers, and food travel shows. His knowledge has been acquired the old-fashioned way, from firsthand experience on the streets and at the stands and markets of Los Angeles, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America.

The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina By Zoraida Córdova | Book Review Podcast Website: https://gobookmart.com/ Article: https://gobookmart.com/The-Inheritance-of-Orquídea-Divina-by-Zoraida-Córdova-is-a-wonderful-story/ Buy Now: https://amzn.to/3us3WNX “Spellbinding! What a pleasure getting to know the Montoyas over generations and landscapes—from Ecuador to New York City to the mythical small town of Four Rivers. Zoraida Córdova's undeniable storytelling gift feels propelled by the power of ancestors. These larger-than-life characters embrace like family. An immersive and enchanting treat.” (Kali Fajardo-Anstine, author of National Book Award finalist Sabrina & Corina ) “A bloody and beautiful inheritance, Córdova's adult debut delves into the dark legacies ancestors leave behind with the living. Intoxicating and unforgettable.” (Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles series ) “It is a remarkable gift to read the story an author was clearly born to write. Searing, lyrical, melancholy . . . beautiful. The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina captures the very essence of the immigrant story.” (Adriana Herrera, USA Today bestselling author ) “Córdova weaves a spellbinding tale, both timeless and fresh, that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page. Prepare to fall in love.” (Kim Liggett, New York Times bestselling author of The Grace Year ) “A commandingly propulsive story with a complex writing style that is best enjoyed slowly makes The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina a challenge, but one well worth the time.” (Book Page (starred)) “Lyric and wry, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina is an innovative novel full of richly memorable characters and an enchanted atmosphere. There's a deep comfort to it, a thorough, luminous hope.” (Tor.com) “[A] radiant adult debut . . . The magic is vivid and yet familiar, and adds to the urgency of the plot . . . [An] inspired and entertaining blend of magical realism and fantasy.” (Publishers Weekly) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support
