Welcome to Season 2 of The Writers' Cafe! Brought to you from the award-winning indie, Sevenoaks Bookshop!This week's visitor to the cafe is the lyrical and deeply contemplative Miranda Cowley Heller. Miranda is the bestselling author of The Paper Palace, a Reese's Book Club pick and long-listed for the Women's Prize for Fiction. Her debut poetry collection, What The Deep Water Knows, traces the arc of womanhood; it is a mediation on self-discovery, love and its losses; the complexity of family, and nature's quiet role in shaping memory and resilience. Join us as this episode as we delve into the inner realm of girlhood and womanhood illustrated through poetry; the nature of love, family, nature, and 'soul hunger'. Bookseller review: “This poetry collection chronicles a woman's life in six parts. It is a collection I know I will hold dear for a long time, as it made me fall back in love with poetry. What The Deep Water Knows is beautiful, deeply vulnerable and terribly gut-wrenching at times. With wonderful, intimate reflections on love--familial, self, romantic-- I hope everyone gives it a read and comes away as in awe of Miranda's weaving of words as I was!"If you are new to The Writer's Cafe pod: Inspired by our own in-shop cafe of the same name and the conversations about books, life, literature, and so much more every single day - as well as the literary salons of old where gossip thrived - this podcast seeks to highlight and celebrate the best writers and voices every episode with a warm, detailed conversation about their work and craft.Miranda's work can be purchased with us here:The Paper Palace https://sevenoaksbookshop.co.uk/shop/the-paper-palace-by-miranda-cowley-heller-2/ Hosted on Acast.

Highlights Books by Clare Leslie Hall: Broken Country, Days You Were Mine (previously published as Mine), and Pictures of Him (previously published as Him). Clare gives a brief, spoiler-free overview of Broken Country. Clare's inspiration for Broken Country. How the themes of love, guilt, and connection play roles in the novel. The ways Broken Country developed and changed over the course of her writing process. How Clare decided that this was no longer a contemporary novel and needed to be set in the 1950s and 1960s. The aspect of the book of which she's most proud. How Broken Country came to be her first book released in the U.S. What the marketing looked like for Broken Country compared to her first two novels. Anything Clare would change about Broken Country down the line should she have the opportunity (since she was able to change the ending of her second book for the U.S. release).

Miranda Cowley Heller became an international bestseller in 2021 with her first novel The Paper Palace. But although she has had a success that most novelists can only dream of, Miranda was writing poetry long before trying her hand at fiction and really thinks of herself first and foremost as a poet. Her first collection, What the Deep Water Knows, will be published in May. Fellow novelist Daisy Goodwin talks to Miranda about her writing process and the deep connections between fiction and poetry. Miranda will read from her new book, which will be a World exclusive for Adelaide Writers' Week.Event details:Wed 05 Mar, 3:45pm | East Stage

Well, after four years of Louisiana Ladies, we have decided to take a little break. As hard as it is to take a step back from the mic, it is definitely needed. Between Melissa and Lainey working at a CPA firm during our busiest time of year, and Kate constantly being busy, we decided that a podcast pause was in order. This is not goodbye forever! We will still be active on social media, continue our book club and lagniappe, and build this community. We can't wait to record episodes again one day, but until then, we have four years' worth of episodes y'all can revisit (or catch up on)! Thank you thank you thank you for your continued love and support. We couldn't do it without each and every one of our guests and listeners. We love y'all!

This week, Kate and Lainey are joined by the fabulous Dr. Julie Neumann!

In podcast episode 154, we're diving into the world of book cover design with Karen Horton, graphic designer and former Art Director at Henry Holt. Karen takes us behind the scenes of the process of book cover design, who makes key book cover related decisions, and the role of marketing budgets and author's reputation in this process. Plus, Karen shares her book recommendations! This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). CLICK HERE for the full episode Show Notes on the blog. Highlights The high-level book cover design process. When and why publishers reach out to designers before a book's launch proposal. The dynamics of deciding which books a designer works on. Freelance vs In-house: Factors that determine who gets to design the top titles. The lesser-known “silent auction” approach some publishers adopt. Whether book cover designers really read the whole book. Who holds the final decision about a book cover. The author's role in the decision-making process and the factors that impact how that can play out. How marketing budgets and an author's reputation influence design choices.

Hiya, book club besties! This month, we read the New York Times Number One Best Seller: The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller. The story's protagonist is Elle Bishop, a 50-something woman in love with two men - her husband, and her childhood best friend. As the blurb tells us, “so begins a story that unfolds over twenty-four hours and across fifty years.” What is Elle's big secret - the one that has kept her tethered to, but arm's distance from, her best friend Jonas? And which man will she choose in the end? Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle go everywhere: from standout characters, to the theme of intergenerational trauma, before a big chat about that ending. Join us in the all the book chat over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub, and our TikTok, @theshamelessbookclub.

Are there times when you wonder what sort of world our children and grandchildren will inherit? Grace Chan has created an online world called Gaia in which the people of 2080 take refuge from the climate ravaged earth. Gaia is clean, beautiful and exciting and it's just announced the opportunity for citizens to shake off their bodies entirely and permanently upload their consciousness to it. Gaia seems to have everything, but is it enough? And… Join Annie Hastwell's discussion with retired ABC Radio host Annie Warburton about Phillip Roth, the author whose book “Portnoy's Complaint” was considered so filthy in 1969 it was banned from being imported into Australia. The ensuing court battles helped define Australia's censorship laws and ensured an end to book bans in this country. Guests: Grace Chan, author of “Every Version of You” Annie Warburton and Annie Hastwell discuss Philip Roth's books “Portnoy's Complaint” (1969), “The Breast” (1972), “My Life as a Man” (1974), “The Human Stain” (2000), “The Plot Against America” (2004) and “Nemesis” (2010) Our Random reader: Mads Grace's tsundoku contains “Empathy” by Fay Lee, “Everything Feels Like the End of the World” by Else Fitzgerald, “Terminal Boredom” by Izumi Suzuki, “I'm waiting for You” by Bo-Young Kim and “Where the Stars Rise: Asian Science Fiction and Fantasy” edited by Lucas K. Law and Derwin Mak Mads was first inspired to read by the Ramona Quimby books by Beverley Clearey, then “Tomorrow When the World Began” by John Marsden and the complete works of Jane Austen. These days she's reading “Raising Girls” by Maggie Dent, “Seeing Other People” and “Love and Virtue” by Dianna Reid, “The Paper Palace” by Miranda Cowley Heller and “A Room Made of Leaves” by Kate Grenville.

"Libri che mi hanno rovinato la vita. E altri amori malinconici" di Daria Bignardi (Einaudi) racconta la passione per i libri e la lettura. Una passione per Daria Bignardi nata da piccola: la madre ansiosa non la faceva uscire di casa e lei passava interi pomeriggi a leggere. Fra i 12 e i 18 anni aveva letto i classici russi e francesi, poi gli americani e gli italiani. Ma in questo percorso fra ricordi personali e letteratura, si parla soprattutto dei libri che hanno "rovinato" la vita, perché "l'arte non deve consolare, ma turbare". E allora Daria Bignardi ricorda le emozioni scatenate in particolare da tre romanzi: "La foresta della notte" di Djuna Barnes, "Il demone meschino" di Sologub e "Così parlò Zarathustra" di Nietzsche. Il particolare il romanzo dello scrittore russo, letto a 13 anni, le aveva fatto scoprire il male e, dunque, la fascinazione per il dolore, il buio e l'infelicità ("soffrire mi esaltava"). Un romanzo apprezzato sia negli Stati Uniti che in Gran Bretagna (è stato primo nelle classifiche del New York Times per mesi) che ora è arrivato in Italia: è "Il palazzo di carta", opera prima dell'americana Miranda Cowley Heller (Garzanti - traduz. Stefano Beretta). È la storia di una donna, Elle, cinquantenne sposata con tre figli, che torna nel luogo dove ha sempre trascorso l'estate fin da piccola, Cape Cod. Qui incontra un amore di gioventù, Jonas, un amore che era stato interrotto da qualcosa che era accaduto nel passato. Elle e Jonas condividono un segreto sulla loro adolescenza e il romanzo è costruito su diversi piani temporali: quello che accade oggi in un solo giorno nel momento in cui Elle e Jonas si rivedono in compagnia dei rispettivi partner e il passato.

Elle Bishop, Anfang 50, glücklich verheiratet, drei Kinder, urlaubt im Sommerhaus der Familie, das alle scherzhaft den Papierpalast nennen. Elle schwimmt ihre morgendliche Runde im See und denkt nach über das, was am Abend zuvor geschehen ist. Nach dem Essen sind sie und ihre Jugendliebe Jonas nach draußen geschlichen und hatten fieberhaften guten Sex, während sich ihre ahnungslosen Ehepartner am Tisch unterhielten. In den nächsten 24 Stunden muss Elle entscheiden, ob sie bei ihrem aufrichtig geliebten Ehemann bleibt oder an Jonas' Seite leben will. Jonas war für sie der Mann in ihrem Leben, bis ein Unfall alles zerstörte. Elles Abwägung zwischen Leidenschaft und Familie berührt die Traumata ihres Lebens, die Verfehlungen ihrer Mutter, die Bürde einer schutzlosen Kindheit. Sehr souverän und ganz unmittelbar erzählt Miranda Cowley Heller das aufwühlende Wechselspiel, dem Elle sich ausliefert.Quelle: Verlagstext
Un romanzo apprezzato sia negli Stati Uniti che in Gran Bretagna (è stato primo nelle classifiche del New York Times per mesi) che ora è arrivato in Italia: è "Il palazzo di carta", opera prima dell'americana Miranda Cowley Heller (Garzanti - traduz. Stefano Beretta). E' la storia di una donna, Elle, cinquantenne sposata con tre figli, che torna nel luogo dove ha sempre trascorso l'estate fin da piccola, Cape Cod. Qui incontra un amore di gioventù, Jonas, un amore che era stato interrotto da qualcosa che era accaduto nel passato. Elle e Jonas condividono un segreto sulla loro adolescenza e il romanzo è costruito su diversi piani temporali: quello che accade oggi in un solo giorno nel momento in cui Elle e Jonas si rivedono in compagnia dei rispettivi partner e il passato. Nella seconda parte parliamo di una raccolta di racconti dalla scrittura elegante e raffinata, racconti che parlano di relazioni e di emozioni anche forti, ma sempre narrate in modo delicato: più che descrivere, si evoca una situazione. Si tratta di "Il tempo delle tartarughe" di Francesca Scotti (Hacca). In questi racconti c'è una varia umanità, ci sono adulti, bambini, anziani, ma ci sono anche animali che talvolta diventano metafora per far luce sulle relazioni umane. C'è l'Italia, ma c'è anche il Giappone, visto che la scrittrice vive in entrambi i paesi. C'è la storia di una donna che soffre di insonnia e dorme solo nell'auto guidata dal marito, un'anziana che vuole mimetizzarsi con i mobili per non farsi portare via dalla sua casa, una bambina che subisce bullismo a scuola.

First time novelist Miranda Cowley Heller has written The Paper Palace, which joins 50 year old Elle as she steals away from a family holiday to have sex with her childhood crush for the first time, while her beloved husband is inside with the rest of her family. How can Elle choose between two equal but entirely different men? Miranda joins Richard and Judy to talk about how her own life inspired the story in a number of different ways – not least that she grew up in mesmerising Cape Cod where the book is set. They also discuss how Miranda wrote the entire novel not knowing herself what decision her protagonist was ultimately going to make.

Miranda Cowley Heller hat schon mehrere Fernsehserien für HBO entwickelt - unter anderem "Die Sopranos" und "Six Feet Under". "Der Papierpalast" ist ihr Debütroman: eine Frau zwischen Ehemann und Jugendfreund - und ein Tag, sich zu entscheiden. Von Christine Westermann.

Miranda Cowley Heller joins Carol Fitzgerald for a “Bookaccino Live” Book Group program to discuss her debut novel, The Paper Palace. Please note that this program is full of spoilers, unlike our interview with Miranda last year, as yes, this is a book group discussion where we assume that everyone has read the book. Miranda talks about the depth of her characters and the need to see the situation through their eyes to grasp the complexity of their choices. She also talks about why she chose to write in first person and set a special timeframe. We conduct a poll about what our book group attendees thought about the ending, and Miranda discusses her choice to write it the way she did. She also talks about writing the screen adaptation for HBO.

A colunista Luanna Bernardes fala sobre o livro "O Palácio de Papel" de Miranda Cowley Heller.
So unterschiedlich die Romane sind, die Nina Riepe in dieser Podcastfolge vorstellt, eins haben sie alle gemeinsam: Hier geht es um Familien, um deren Baustellen und ihre manchmal auch schwierigen Konstellationen und Verwicklungen. So empfiehlt Nina unter anderem "Der Markisenmann" von Jan Weiler, "Späte Kinder" von Jan Neft, "Für diesen Sommer" von Gisa Klönne" und "Der Papierpalast" von Miranda Cowley Heller. Was diese Bücher übrigens auch eint: Obwohl es inhaltlich oft um heftigen Tobak geht, sind alle Romane gut und leicht lesbar. Aber hört am besten selbst!

Debut novelists, Jo Browning Wroe and Miranda Cowley Heller go head to head in a war of the words... They discuss their books, "A Terrible Kindness" and "The Paper Palace" - as well as their writing journeys and inspirations. Miranda also discusses her former career at HBO - where she worked on shows such as The Sopranos and The Wire, whilst Jo explains how she came to the idea for her novel and how she approached such a sensitive subject. They also recommend some of the books they have been reading and enjoying recently - and pitch us a book that they both love in the Book Off. In this episode, we see J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord Of The Rings" go up against "A Manual For Cleaning Women" by Lucia Berlin...but which one will win??? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Hiya, book club besties!This month, we read the New York Times Number One Best Seller: The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller. The story's protagonist is Elle Bishop, a 50-something woman in love with two men - her husband, and her childhood best friend. As the blurb tells us, “so begins a story that unfolds over twenty four hours and across fifty years.” What is Elle's big secret - the one that has kept her tethered to, but arms distance from, her best friend Jonas? And which man will she choose in the end?Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle go everywhere: from standout characters, to the theme of intergenerational trauma, before a big chat about that ending.Got some thoughts on our January pick, ‘Love Stories' by Trent Dalton?

Happy Saturday, book worms!This month, we took on our first non-fiction book, a memoir from the now 28-year-old North Korean defector and activist, Yeonmi Park. Published in 2015, Yeonmi tells the story of the first 22 years of her life - from her first 13 years growing up in North Korea as it was consumed by famine, to fleeing over the border to China where she and her mother fell into the hands of human traffickers, and finally, to escaping to South Korea by traversing through the Gobi desert through the night in search of a better life.Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle chat about all that Yeonmi so generously shared with her readers: Her childhood, the adversities faced in China, and the heartbreaking reality of life with newfound freedom.Got some thoughts on our December pick, ‘The Paper Palace' by Miranda Cowley-Heller?

In Episode 97, Christine Pride and Jo Piazza share how their co-authored novel (We Are Not Like Them) explores how hard it is to have conversations about difficult topics even between dear friends. We discuss why they decided to write a book with a lifelong, interracial friendship at its core, and how they handled collaborating on a book with a plot revolving around a fraught topic. This post contains affiliate links, through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). Highlights How they met and began their professional relationship. Who had the initial idea for We Are Not Like Them. How they decided to go from an editor/writer relationship to co-writing and what that looked like for them. Why it was important to work collaboratively on both main characters, rather than each taking one. Christine's and Jo's own challenges while working on this novel. How they handled any “creative friction” that came up. How the discussions around character development really opened up how they had to consider race on the page. How their own personal experiences and perspectives really informed both characters They share some key thoughts to having these important conversations. The surprising but similar reaction from both Black and white readers. They also share a little teaser about the next book they are writing together.

This week's big news is that That Woman Next Door is out now in ebook and print! The book is a slow-burn opposites attract with lots of lesbian processing. Harper is still not writing so she's been occupying herself on Instagram. We enjoyed the new season of Sex Education a lot, even though it was a bit more serious than previous seasons. It's definitely more educational than the Sex Ed we got in school. We also watched the first episode of Alma's Not Normal on the BBC. Caroline's book this week is The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller, which might not be for everyone, but she enjoyed so much.

Desde el porche, Elle aún puede ver la mesa sin recoger de la cena; copas de vino vacías, cera de velas en el mantel, ecos de las risas de sus familiares y conocidos. Pero esta mañana es diferente: la noche anterior Elle y su mejor amigo de la infancia, Jonas, se escabulleron para tener un apasionado encuentro contra la pared exterior de la casa mientras sus parejas charlaban en el interior. Décadas de recuerdos, secretos y mentiras han conducido a Elle hasta este día. Ahora, durante las siguientes veinticuatro horas, tendrá que elegir entre la vida que ha construido con su maravilloso marido, Peter, y la que imaginó con su primer amor, Jonas, si un trágico suceso no lo hubiera cambiado todo para siempre. #penguinaudio #audiolibro #audiolibros #Miranda #Cowley #Heller #MirandaCowleyHeller See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In this episode, Gayle and Nicole go over their vacation reads, and they discuss how traumatic events in fiction books tend to be happening more often than it usually does in real life, which can lead to a feeling of being overfed with trauma while reading the story.

Miranda Cowley Heller talks to Carol Fitzgerald about her debut novel, The Paper Palace, which was an instant #1 New York Times bestseller. Set on the Outer Cape of Cape Cod over the course of 24 hours, Elle must make a decision about whether to stay with her husband, Peter, or to leave her marriage for her childhood friend, Jonas. The book looks back over Elle's life and delves into moments, including one pivotal one, that will influence her decision. Miranda talks to Carol about how she came to write this book in her fifties after putting it aside almost a decade ago and the story's development. She talks about how her poetry background has influenced her writing. They discuss the cover, which has its own background in her family. Miranda is currently writing the script for the book's adaptation for HBO, a homecoming of sorts for her, as she worked as the head of programs at HBO, including "The Sopranos," "Six Feet Under," and "The Wire."
