Jenn Shapland's first book, My Autobiography of Carson McCullers, was a finalist for the 2020 National Book Award and the Southern Book Prize, and it won the 2021 Lambda Literary Award, the Judy Grahn Award, and the Christian Gauss Award. In her new essay collection, Thin Skin, Shapland explores the porousness of boundaries between humans and the environments we inhabit, between us and other people, and between us and the social constructs we create. What does it mean to be sensitive when we live in a toxic environment? How do we navigate the difference between taking responsibility and assuaging our guilt? Between resisting injustice and coping with it? And how do we reckon with what's happening in the world when no one wants to talk about it? Shapland answers these questions and more in this month's episode of Story Behind the Story. Special Guest: Jenn Shapland.

Writer Maya Binyam joins Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher to speak about her debut novel Hangman. The book begins with a man who finds himself returning to his home country somewhere in Sub-Saharan Africa for the first time in 26 years. But the places, customs, and traditions he encounters there have become foreign or burdensome to him, and the people he meets, even members of his own family, strange and unrecognizable. Somewhere in the country his brother lays dying, but his journey to be by his side is marked by a series of losses—of money, clothes, and passport. Along the way, he's forced to rely on the stories and experiences of the strangers he meets and speaks with at length to make sense of things, even as he sees himself as disinterested or apart from them. Working against more typical narratives of homecoming and migration, the novel pushes deeper into questions about the essentialism and continuity of self, the individual versus the abstract, the obligation of kinship and the necessity of faith, as well as the possibility of political change. Also, Prudence Peiffer, author of The Slip: The New York City Street That Changed American Art Forever, returns to recommend two books The Nameplate: Jewelry, Culture, and Identity by Marcel Rosa-Salas and Isabel Attyah Flower, as well as My Autobiography of Carson McCullers by Jenn Shapland.

Martyn Ware- Electronically yours – Vol 1: My Autobiography...with TRE's Giles Brown

We have both done some traveling since the last episode. Emily was in Colorado and Utah and Chris was in North Carolina and Illinois. You know we hit some bookstores, which you'll hear about in our Biblio-Adventures segment. We've also checked off two #BigBookSummer reads! Emily finished the Plainsong Series by Kent Haruf and Chris enjoyed her re-read of The Historian by Elisabeth Kostova. Some of the other books we discuss in this episode include Vacationland by Meg Mitchell Moore, My Autobiography of Carson McCullers: A Memoir by Jenn Shapland, Signal Fires by Dani Shapiro (out 10/18/2022), Cat's in the Navy by Scot Christenson, and The Local: A Legal Thriller by Joey Hartstone.

Many times in history comedy has been one of the best things to get us through our darkest times. Not only do they make us laugh, but sometimes they make us think as well as inspire us. It may seem strange that the people whose jobs are to make us laugh are the most passionate about politics. The other thing we've learned from history is fascists have no sense of humor and can't take a joke. Hitler wanted to kill the Three Stooges because they lampooned him in a film. Need I say more? Today Bret and Scott discuss classic films that had a profound effect on people in very different ways. From the Marx Brothers lighthearted send up in Duck Soup to Charlie Chaplin's more serious minded comedy in the Great Dictator to the end of the world being heralded in by the soothing sound of Vera Lynn in Dr. Strangelove starring Peter Sellers in three roles including the title character. Each film makes the powers that be look like ridiculous children squabbling over who won the most marbles.  In the case of the Great Dictator, Chaplin gives his iconic character of the Little Tramp, silent for all these years, something very profound to say. Words that still ring true in 2022 as they did back in 1940.  For those unfamiliar with Chaplin's speech, the Mental Suppository highly recommends you watch it here on YouTube. If you wish to find out more about Charlie Chaplin, Groucho Marx and Peter Sellers we recommend this further reading: My Autobiography by Charlie Chaplin Groucho: The Life and Times of Julius Henry Marx by Stefan Kanfer Mr. Strangelove: A Biography of Peter Sellers by Ed Sikov

In this episode, Dr Kit Heyam (Northumbria University) shares wonderful tidbits from trans and non-binary histories, talks about their book on queer king Edward II and is generally delightful and clever. Kit also talks about how they approach queering history, the intersections of literary studies and historical research and their favourite contemporary queer reads, such as "The Lauras" by Sara Taylor, "My Autobiography of Carson McCullers" by Jenn Shapland or "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula K. Le Guin.Other texts we talk about: "Edward II" by Christopher Marlowe"The Reputation of Edward II, 1305-1697: A Literary Transformation of History" by Kit Heyam(https://www.aup.nl/en/book/9789463729338/the-reputation-of-edward-ii-1305-1697)"The Roaring Girl" by Thomas Middleton and Thomas DekkerMarjorie Rubright' article "Transgender Capacity in Thomas Dekker and Thomas Middleton's The Roaring Girl (1611)', Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies 19.4 (2019), 45-74"Trumpet" by Jackie Kay"Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides"Girl, Woman, Other" by Bernardine Evaristo"Little Fish" by Casey PlettWhy not follow Kit (@krheyam) and Lena (@Lena_Mattheis) on Twitter and read more about Kit's work as a scholar and activist here: https://kitheyam.com/.Questions you should be able to respond to after listening:1. How do the study of literature and of history intersect in Kit's work?2. Why is it difficult to label historical figures as trans, lesbian or gay? What does Kit do instead?3. What does Kit say about authorship and contemporary queer literature?4. The central aim of Kit's work is to show that transness and queerness are not ‘new'. Why do you think this is important?

This is the first of three episodes based on our interview with writer and archivist Jenn Shapland, whose book My Autobiography of Carson McCullers was a finalist for the National Book Award.

Jenn Shapland's My Autobiography of Carson McCullers (Tin House Books, 2020) is a fascinating cross-genre book that combines elements of traditional biography with Shapland's own personal narrative of researching McCullers and discovering the many ways her life and McCullers' mirror each other. McCullers was a lesbian, but many of her biographers have shied away from this aspect of her life, referring to her partners as "friends" or "obsessions." Shapland's book is a bold work of historical reclamation, insisting we view McCullers as a queer writer and drawing attention to previously-obscured elements of queerness in her work. It is also a portrait of a vibrant queer community existing beneath the placid surface of mid-century America: Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, Gypsy Rose Lee, and W.H. Auden all make memorable appearances in its pages. My Autobiography of Carson McCullers is a must-read for fans of McCullers, but it will also be of interest to fans of cross-genre writers like Maggie Nelson, Eileen Myles, and Hilton Als. Andy Boyd is a playwright based in Brooklyn, New York. He is a graduate of the playwriting MFA at Columbia University, Harvard University, and the Arizona School for the Arts.

My guest of Season 2, episode 3 is Amy Marie Spangler, Co-Founder and Co-Director of Istanbul-based AnatoliaLit Agency. Like several of my previous guests on this podcast, Amy took part in the Jerusalem Book Fair fellowship in which I took part as well, in 2017. A few months later, we started working with AnatoliaLit to represent our list in Turkey, and I'm very happy with our collaboration in this market which does have its challenges. This podcast episode turned out to be a speed-course on the state of the Turkish publishing market. But we also talked about Amy's activities as a translator from Turkish to English, and as an agent representing authors from Turkey and the surrounding regions internationally. One thing Amy pointed out after we recorded our interview, and which she suggested I clarify here, is that the curfew that she mentions is in place in Turkey at the moment, is in fact for weekends only, so it is not applied everyday. Thanks to this interview I learned a lot about Turkish publishing and hope you will, too! Here are some of the questions I asked Amy: What was the state of the Turkish publishing market before the pandemic started? What has happened since the start of the pandemic in terms of book sales in Turkey? Was the publishing world on a standstill at some point this year, and were publication dates postponed? Was there a higher demand for ebooks and audiobooks, as we have seen in other markets? Are there any genres that tend to sell well in Turkey, and others that don't? You also represent a select number of authors, in Turkey as well as internationally, and you translate from Turkish into English. Can you tell us more about those activities? What was the biggest challenge for you when you launched Anatolialit? How did you address this matter? Show Notes Amy's book recommendations: - My Autobiography of Carson McCullers by Jenn Shapland (Tin House, 2020); - Woodcutters by Thomas Bernhard, translated by David McLintock (Vintage Classics, 2019). Amy's and Szilvia Molnar's podcast: I Have to Tell You: The Letters (Also available on podcast feeds). About Amy: Amy Marie Spangler is a graduate of Bryn Mawr College, with B.A. degrees in Near Eastern and Classical Archaeology and German Language and Literature. After four years as rights manager and editor for the Istanbul-based publisher Çitlembik, Spangler left her position to found AnatoliaLit Agency, together with Dilek Akdemir, in 2005. In addition to running AnatoliaLit, Spangler is a translator, primarily from Turkish into English, and has taught in the Translation Studies Departments of Boğaziçi University and Okan University. Her published book translations include Noontime in Yenişehir by Sevgi Soysal (Milet, 2014), Dawn by Selahattin Demirtaş, co-translated with Kate Ferguson (SJP for Hogarth, 2019), and A Strange Woman by Leyla Erbil, co-translated with Nermin Menenemcioğlu (Deep Vellum, forthcoming).

I am pleased to announce that My Autobiography is almost completed. This segment is one chapter how many hours meditation required how many hours daily sleep and how many hours daily to work for livelihood. Those who are retired have golden chance to mediate perfectly. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gsjhampur/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gsjhampur/support
