Novelist Louis Bayard's new book The Wildes: A Novel in Five Acts, depicts the fateful weekend in 1892 that spawned not only the comedy of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest but the tragic downfall of Oscar's family. Bayard reveals how he walked that tonal line; how he's been in touch with Wilde's still-living grandson; how he combined the historical romance of Courting Mr. Lincoln with the suspense and intrigue of The Pale Blue Eye; how it's easier to depict famous characters through the eyes of their contemporaries; and how Constance Wilde finally glimpsed the flamboyant public persona of her otherwise devoted husband and father. (Length 19:31) The post Louis Bayard's Wilde appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

On episode 132 Louis Bayard discusses his latest historical novel, The Wildes: a novel in five acts. We talk about our shared affinity for Oscar Wilde, Bayyard's favorite work of Wilde's and we share some recent reads we loved. In addition, Shannon Bowring, author of Where the Forest Meets the River recommends a favorite read.

Fearing irreparable damage to the fledgling military academy, its leaders turn to a local detective, Augustus Landor (Christian Bale), to solve the murder.

Welcome to Light On Light Through, Episode 348, in which I review The Pale Blue Eye on Netflix. Read this review. And here's an alternate history story about The Beatles with a dash of Poe.  

A tale of murder and revenge at West Point.

Famed American author Edgar Allan Poe, who lived from 1809 to 1849, was a poet, literary critic, short story writer and creator of the modern horror tale. He experienced great tragedy in his life and was notorious for his drinking and dark temperament, which frequently got him into trouble. Poe spent time in the Charleston Lowcountry while serving in the U.S. Army (under an assumed name) he at Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island from 1827 to 1828. As Poe's 214th birthday approaches on Jan 19, 2023, his enduring popularity in American popular culture only continues to grow. Netflix recently released The Pale Blue Eye (the title comes from Poe's short story The Tell-Tale Heart). The historical thriller, based on a 2006 novel by Louis Bayard, is set at West Point, where Poe was a cadet before he was court-martialed in 1831. In this fictionalized film, Poe is enlisted by a detective (played by Christian Bale) to help solve a series of grisly murders. In this podcast episode, Scott Peeples, a Poe scholar, English professor and interim chair of the Department of English, takes us on a tour of some of the Lowcountry landmarks associated with Poe. Featured on this EpisodeDuring his 26 years at the College of Charleston, Scott Peeples, English professor and interim chair of the English Department, has taught a wide array of courses on topics ranging from Gothicism to nineteenth-century American poetry to Bob Dylan. He has published extensively on Edgar Allan Poe and other nineteenth-century writers, most recently as author of The Man of the Crowd: Edgar Allan Poe and the City and as co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Edgar Allan Poe. Peeples served as chair of the English Department from 2012 to 2017 and is a past president of the Poe Studies Association and the Southeastern American Studies Association.Resources for this EpisodeThe Man of the Crowd: Edgar Allan Poe and the City by Scott PeeplesThe Afterlife of Edgar Allan Poe by Scott PeeplesEdgar Allan Poe Revisited by Scott PeeplesEdgar Allan Poe's suburban dream essay by Scott Peeples Why should you read Edgar Allan Poe?

Written and directed by Nora Kaye and Whitney Uland, THE COSMOS SISTERS is a fun-filled lo budget/no budget/micro-budget indie romp about two high school BFF's and bandmates who drift apart only to come together again ten years later trying to reunite and reconnect. As you listen to Nora, you'll quickly discover that comedy, fun, and sticktoitiveness are in her nature, something that shines through within the film as Nora and Whitney star as "Nora" and "Whitney". http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Louis Bayard: Jackie (Onassis) and me...with TRE's Selina MacKenzie

“When you're writing a children's book, it shares much relation with horror, because it has to be usually very immediate and very visceral and gripping. Because otherwise the kids are gonna get bored. And your window of opportunity to grab the reader is … longer with horror, you can do the slow creeping dread better, but you have to grab the reader, metaphorically, by the throat.” Whether you know her as Ursula Vernon or T. Kingfisher, one thing is for sure—this Hugo, Nebula, and Locus award-winning author always pulls us in with her captivating fantasies and chilling thrillers—which remains true of her two new books, Nettle & Bone and What Moves the Dead, both releasing this year. Ursula joins us on the show to talk about the fine line between writing children's books and writing horror and her love for gothic stories, the artwork that inspired this stunning cover, mycology, the lesser-known life of Beatrix Potter, what she's working on next and what games she's playing, and much more with guest host, Kat Sarfas. And we end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Becky.   Featured Books (Episode): What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Writings by Edgar Allen Poe The White People and Other Weird Stories by Arthur Machen The Willows by Algernon Blackwood The Angel of the Crows by Katherine Addison The Haunted Mesa by Louis L'Amour   Featured Books (TBR Topoff): The Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis The Pale Blue Eye by Louis Bayard   This episode of Poured Over is produced and hosted by Kat Sarfas and mixed by Harry Liang.

Elisabeth Egan, an editor at the Book Review, curates our Group Text column — a monthly choice of a book that she feels is particularly well suited to book clubs and their discussions. On this week's podcast, she talks about her latest pick: “Jackie & Me,” by Louis Bayard, which imagines the friendship between Jacqueline Bouvier and Lem Billings, a close friend of the Kennedys.“This is rooted in reality,” Egan says, “but Bayard runs with it and imagines conversations between Lem and Jackie, and just shows this, on one hand, fabulous life of parties and museums and fun they had together, but also sets up this ticking clock where you come to understand what Jackie really has at stake, and has to lose by committing to this life with the Kennedys.”Matthew Schneier visits the podcast to discuss Paula Byrne's new biography, “The Adventures of Miss Barbara Pym.” Pym, a British writer, began publishing novels in the 1950s.“She published six novels in pretty quick succession, and they're great,” Schneier says of the first decade or so of her career. “Very clever, very witty, she was often compared to Jane Austen — which was a writer that she loved and appreciated, but also a kind of very easy comparison, whereas Pym's ironies can be a little bit darker than some of Austen's. And there's a sense in her work that she is spotlighting characters who are not the Emma Woodhouses, who are beautiful and rich and effervescent. They're what she ended up calling ‘excellent women,' which is the title of I think her best starter novel. These women who are well brought up and very proper, a little bit pious, but can also be a little dowdy, a little dreary, a little bit easier to overlook.”Also on this week's episode, Alexandra Alter talks about the filmmaker Werner Herzog and his first novel, “The Twilight World”; and Jennifer Szalai and Molly Young talk about books they've recently reviewed. John Williams is the host.Here are the books discussed by The Times's critics this week:“The Facemaker” by Lindsey Fitzharris“Meet Me by the Fountain” by Alexandra Lange

Louis Bayard's new novel Jackie & Me tells the story of the courtship of Congressman John F. Kennedy and Jackie Bouvier from the point of view of Kennedy's oldest friend, a closeted gay man named Lem Billings. It's a charming and moving imagining of how these events played out that takes us inside the heads and hearts of these real people, and Lou discusses how writing about recent Presidential romance is different from writing about 19th-century Presidential romances; how he embraces the multiverse (and who actually invented it); the fun of Googling while reading; a fascination with closeted love; some great jacket copy; how the types of mysteries he writes about has changed; and an irreverent yet perfect celebration of Pride Month. (Length 25:19) The post Jackie & Me appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

“It's about choices.” Chatter rolls into summer. David kicks things off with a report on the NBA and Torie's future trophy husband. NYT star Joe Drape joins (who knew he wrote “In the Hornets' Nest?) for a Belmont preview and chat about “Black Maestro,” his wonderful book about the last Black jockey to win the Kentucky Derby. COB fave Louis Bayard zooms in to share “Jackie and Me,” his fascinating take on Jack and Jackie Kennedy's courtship through the eyes of Lem Billings, lifelong JFK friend.

Terence Hawkins' His latest book, The Rage of Achilles, is an extensively revised and re-imagined edition of his first novel. In it, Homer's epic heroes are no more glorious than the tired, scared grunts they command. Informed by Julian Jaynes' theory of the bicameral mind, its gods are only the hallucinations of men and women desperate for direction in the collapsing society of the late Bronze Age. Hawkins' realistic account of Homeric warfare has been described as “visceral,” and his prose “elegant and terse.” In a Best Book of 2020 review, Kirkus called Hawkins' short story collection Turing's Graveyard "extraordinary stories that will make readers laugh, shiver, or perhaps both." Booklist described it as "a beautiful reading experience” and compared it to the Twilight Zone. In naming his second novel, American Neolithic, a Year's Best, Kirkus described it as "a towering work of speculative fiction." Its revised edition was compared to Orwell's 1984 in Midwest Book Review. Hawkins was the founding Director of the Yale Writers' Conference, which he managed and developed from 2011 to 2015. In 2014, he started the Company of Writers, offering workshops and manuscript services to writers at all levels of experience. The Company has hosted seminars with Amy Bloom and Colum McCann, as well as a program on the intersection of literary and genre fiction with John Crowley and Louis Bayard. Hawkins grew up in a small town in southwestern Pennsylvania. His home county was the site of the original “Night of the Living Dead.” His grandfathers and several uncles were coal miners. He graduated from Yale, where he was publisher of the Yale Daily News. He lives in Connecticut.

“Glory” author NoViolet Bulawayo can't make it at the last minute, but David, Torie and Jamie roll with the punches. They share fond memories of Washington icon Wendy Rieger. Torie raves about Jane Beirn of HarperCollins, the best in publishing. Best selling author Louis Bayard zooms in to talk about his upcoming book “Jackie and Me,” and the PEN/Faulkner Awards on May 2.  Today's pop quiz is famous quotes from Pulitzer Prize winning books. David wins!

In this episode, Michael Amidei and Clifford Brooks interview author Louis Bayard. Louis Bayard (www.LouisBayard.com) In the words of the New York Times, Louis Bayard “reinvigorates historical fiction,” rendering the past “as if he'd witnessed it firsthand.” His acclaimed novels include The Pale Blue Eye, soon to be a Netflix motion picture starring Christian Bale, the national bestseller Courting Mr. Lincoln, Roosevelt's Beast, The School of Night, The Black Tower, and Mr. Timothy, as well as the highly praised young-adult novel, Lucky Strikes. A New York Times Notable author, he has been nominated for both the Edgar and Dagger awards, and his story, “Banana Triangle Six,” was chosen for The Best American Mystery Stories. His reviews and articles have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and Salon. An instructor at George Washington University, he is the chair of the PEN/Faulkner Awards and was the author of the popular Downton Abbey recaps for the New York Times.

Ryan Stasik, November 13th, 1976, came into this world bleeding black & gold. His Pittsburgh roots run deep despite moving to Kalamazoo, Michigan at the tender age 12 as Appetite for Destruction hit the shelves. Ryan began playing piano at 5, learned guitar shortly thereafter, and after meeting Bayliss offered to switch to bass since the band had no one holding down the bottom end. Even from the beginning, he was a team player. Against all odds, this plan worked out. Equal parts trained pianist and self-taught rocker, Ryan Stasik the bassist is a confluence of musical forces. As a student at the University of Notre Dame, he co-founded Umphrey's McGee, known as much for their irreverent stage presence as their complex musicality. Ryan is truly a musician knowing no boundaries. As the toe-tapping backbeat of Umphrey's legendary live shows, Stasik pulls inspiration from anybody and anything that get hips ‘a swaying. Though devoted to studying the likes of Dan Kurtz, Nick Blasky, and Mike Bendy, Ryan leaves plenty of room for Hall & Oates, Iron Maiden, and Sade. In the end, if it takes to a Budweiser and a good laugh, it's welcome in the web of rhythm Ryan calls his repertoire.

Louis Bayard's novel Mr. Timothy, a sort-of sequel to Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol, imagines what happens to Tiny Tim as a grownup. It's a moving literary thriller, with its own sort of redemption and set in and around the Victorian London underworld, and author Bayard discusses the book's origins and creation; how A Christmas Carol is a surprisingly angry book; how he realized that Bob Cratchit is not the most reliable narrator; the ways in which Tiny Tim is a Rorschach test; the desperate need to find your own narrative; the struggle of being seen as a symbol, not a person; the importance of purging and exorcizing your demons; not having a good answer to the question of where this sh1t comes from; identifying at least one Dickens descendant (who you may recognize from Game of Thrones); the importance of keeping multiple plates spinning; the fun of finding the story that's already there; and inside scoop on the upcoming film adaptation of Lou's novel The Pale Blue Eye, starring Christian Bale. (Length 19:43) The post Grownup Tiny Tim appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

Gaps in the historical record are treasure troves for playwrights and novelists, and this week we talk to novelist Louis Bayard (Mr. Timothy, Courting Mr. Lincoln) about two of his historical novels, The School of Night and The Pale Blue Eye. Lou discusses how he stumbles into these historical gaps and how he excavates what he does or doesn't find there, and he reveals the pain of eliminating unnecessary characters; the difficulty in finding the heart of your mystery; meditations on both Dupin and Lupin; fan fiction about artists, scientists, and thinkers; the delight of dropping Easter eggs; the rewards of going on Google crawls; finding the balance in his promiscuous mix of fact and fiction; and what's coming next down the Bayard pipeline. (Length 23:30) The post The Historical Gap appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

“Creative, original and fun!” Louis Bayard joins David Aldridge and Torie to talk PEN/Faulkner Awards – Deesha Philyw, another COB alum wins, and Louis contemplates his novel, Pale Blue Eye, as a $55 million dollar movie (thus far). Debut author Sanjena Sathian zooms in to talk Iowa Writers Workshop and more. Her book, Gold Diggers, captures coming of age, identity and 21st century life – all in one. Fascinating and inspiring all at once.

“The drama is in cut day.” Chatter rolls into March with David, Torie and alum Mike Croley. They brag about Louis Bayard, debate Dr.Seuss, mull pandemic stories (David wonders about flight attendants), and Mike recalls playing catch with Annie Dillard. Writer, editor and illustrator Emily Nemens joins to talk about The Cactus League, her delightful look at the players, fans, coaches, and wives that make the annual pilgrimage known as spring training. Deserted Island goes Women’s History Month.

“....where the moles are.”  Chatter rocks with alums Louis Bayard and Hannah Depp Oliver of Loyalty Books joining David and Torie.   Tapped as a judge for this week’s National Book Awards, Hannah dishes but keeps the winner secret.  Speaking of secrets, award winning author and documentarian Chris Whipple Zooms in to talk about his latest – The Spymasters: How the CIA Directors Shape History and the Future.  He answers all the big questions.  Who succeeds/fails as Director?  How do they serve (or not) their Presidents? What’s the mission, anyhow?  Force for good or evil?  The gang closes with aspirational spy novels for Deserted Island.  And, of course, they talked Kennerly!

“I’m wearing pants.”   Zooming in, David Aldridge takes starring role in The Last Dance.  Historical fiction writer Louis Bayard talks quarantines (not too different for writers) and the virtual Pen/Faulkner Awards. The gang is awed by comedy legend Alan Zweibel, genius for Gilda Radner, Garry Shandling, Billy Crystal and more. His book Laugh Lines kills, and he has the best Deserted Island ever.

Louis Bayard's new novel, “Courting Mr. Lincoln,” is an intimately drawn evocation of the love between the brilliant, melancholic future president and the two people who knew him best: his charming confidante Joshua Speed and his spirited future wife, Mary Todd.

Louis Bayard is the author of such novels as Mr. Timothy, Roosevelt’s Beast, and The Pale Blue Eye, the former recapper of Downton Abbey for the New York Times, and the author of the New York Times obituary for William Shakespeare which appeared on the front-page of the April 23rd, 2016 edition, the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. HIs new novel Courting Mr. Lincoln is funny, poignant, and fascinating comedy of manners, and Lou discusses the impulses that led to this writing the novel, influences ranging from private letters to the novels of Jane Austen and Henry James, catching Mary Todd at her best, performing rehabilitative acts, spawning (and creating) clickbait-y articles, the glories and challenges of writing on spec, the fun of digging into primary sources, discovering further eerie and ironic Booth/Lincoln interactions, and the privilege of being the novelist who steps in where the historical record falls silent. (Length 26:03) The post Courting Mr. Lincoln appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

On today's show, Torie passes along the next book report to Jeanne, and they read some emails to help with 'Book Club Therapy", and thay have a quick chat on the phone with Emilie Sommer who is the book buyer for the independent book store "East City Book Shop".

Journalist and author Walter Isaacson discusses what made Albert Einstein unique; reveals the lesson that he always includes in his biographies; and explains how the Aspen Institute is helping to create a middle-class in the West Bank of the Palestinian territories.

Louis Bayard says that writing is its own insanity and feels compelled to do it. He discusses the craft of writing detective fiction and how he rides the line between staying true to facts and allowing his imagination to shape his stories.
