YA author Maria E. Andreu takes us through her process of imagining an island in the sky for her work-in-progress. We talk a bit about real adaptations living things have developed to live at elevation, but mostly we imagine our way through her excellent thought experiment. Bonus topics: Snowpiercer, yaks, and circus fashion! Then we pivot real hard to the ground and share our best road rage stories. SHOW NOTES: I don't know if this is the exact article Maria read, but BBC.com's The Reason Zoom Calls Drain Your Energy brings up the mental strain of having to be ‘on.' From the article: “An added factor, says Shuffler, is that if we are physically on camera, we are very aware of being watched. ‘When you're on a video conference, you know everybody's looking at you; you are on stage, so there comes the social pressure and feeling like you need to perform. Being performative is nerve-wracking and more stressful.' It's also very hard for people not to look at their own face if they can see it on screen, or not to be conscious of how they behave in front of the camera.” Visit https://www.researchholepodcast.com/episodes/life-in-elevation-with-maria-e-andreu-episode-10 to see an early map and aesthetic collage Maria made for her story. Dad's road rage links: The article about brains and shifting attention is on the Amen Clinics blog, called Road Rage, Where Does it Come From? The article about threat and drive is called This Is What Road Rage Does to Your Body and can be found on Vice. Search Maria E. Andreu for her website to learn more about her books: Love in English and The Secret Side of Empty.

This week author Maria E. Andreu pays a visit to the podcast to talk about her newest release LOVE IN ENGLISH from Balzer + Bray. * Bookshop.org Episode Page* Susan Shapiro* Andreu's Newsweek article* The Story of English (documentary)

Author Marie E. Andreu discusses her upcoming book, Love in English. Maria is the award-winning author of young adult fiction whose real life has inspired her stories. Love in English is the story of a high school girl's difficulty navigating life after she relocates from Argentina to the USA. At the start, she doesn't speak English, just as Maria didn't speak English. Similarly, in her debut novel, The Secret Side of Empty, the protagonist is a teenage girl who is undocumented, as Maria once was herself.
