In this new episode, Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna speak with author and podcaster Kate Winkler Dawson about her new book The Sinners All Bow. Acclaimed journalist, podcaster, and true-crime historian Kate Winkler Dawson tells the true story of the scandalous murder investigation that became the inspiration for both Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and the first true-crime book published in America. On a cold winter day in 1832, Sarah Maria Cornell was found dead in a quiet farmyard in a small New England town. When her troubled past and a secret correspondence with charismatic Methodist minister Reverend Ephraim Avery was uncovered, more questions emerged. Was Sarah's death a suicide...or something much darker? Determined to uncover the real story, Victorian writer Catharine Read Arnold Williams threw herself into the investigation as the trial was unfolding and wrote what many claim to be the first American true-crime narrative, Fall River. The murder divided the country and inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter—but the reverend was not convicted, and questions linger to this day about what really led to Sarah Cornell's death. Until now. In The Sinners All Bow, acclaimed true-crime historian Kate Winkler Dawson travels back in time to nineteenth-century small-town America, emboldened to finish the work Williams started nearly two centuries before. Using modern investigative advancements—including “forensic knot analysis” and criminal profiling (which was invented fifty-five years later with Jack the Ripper)—Dawson fills in the gaps of Williams's research to find the truth and bring justice to an unsettling mystery that speaks to our past as well as our present, anchored by three women who subverted the script they were given.

Lee Génesis 12:10–20 En La letra escarlata de Nathaniel Hawthorne, Hester Prynne fue obligada a llevar la letra A en su vestido como símbolo de adulterio. Pero ¿qué acerca de su compañero en la inmoralidad, el reverendo Arthur Dimmesdale? Él mantuvo su pecado en secreto. A diario se hacía pasar por el “hombre santo” en su iglesia, pero su vida era una mentira que lo alcanzó al final de la novela. En Génesis 12, Abram estaba ocultando su culpa. Cuando él y su familia huyeron a Egipto para escapar de la hambruna, le dijo a su esposa Sarai que mintiera y dijera que era su hermana (v. 13). ¿Por qué? Tenía miedo de que algún egipcio poderoso viera su belleza y la tomara para sí, probablemente matándolo en el proceso. No se equivocaba: las personas poderosas pueden ser así. Y las personas socialmente vulnerables a menudo son maltratadas por quienes tienen el control. El problema de Abram no era que entendiera mal la situación, sino que no confiaba en el Señor para su protección. Abram cedió a la tentación y, para protegerse, fingió que Sarai era su hermana (vv. 11–13). En efecto, un poderoso egipcio —el faraón, de hecho— la vio, la deseó y la tomó (vv. 14–16). Esto resultó en riquezas para Abram, que tal vez él también contempló. Lo que no predijo fue que Dios no le permitiría salirse con la suya. No importa cuánto tratemos de ocultar nuestras acciones, el pecado siempre sale a la luz (Números 32:23). El Señor intervino para proteger a Sarai (del adulterio) y Su pacto (vv. 1–8). Dios le reveló la verdad al faraón, cuya ira era justa y probablemente perdonó la vida de Abram solo por temor al Señor (vv. 17–20). Además, los comentaristas señalan que la ética egipcia valoraba mucho la veracidad, por lo que el pecado de Abram fue un testimonio muy pobre. ¿Se arrepintió? Aparentemente no en ese momento, ya que lo hizo de nuevo y lo justificó en Génesis 20. ¿Cuál fue el error de Abram? ¿Por qué el miedo, las excusas y las racionalizaciones debilitan nuestra resistencia a la tentación? ¿Cómo esta mentalidad hace que el pecado nos parezca razonable? Ora con nosotros Señor, estamos asombrados por Tu obra en la vida de Abraham que nos muestra cómo Tu amor rompe con nuestro engaño humano y nuestra falta de arrepentimiento. Perdónanos por esforzarnos en controlar las cosas y las personas que nos rodean.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before his marriage, before meeting Herman Melville, and before the publication of The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne was living in near seclusion, writing the stories that formed his first collection Twice-Told Tales. Edgar Allan Poe was impressed: "His tone is singularly effective," he wrote, "wild, plaintive, thoughtful, and in full accordance with his themes...We look upon him as one of the few men of indisputable genius to whom our country has as yet given birth." In this episode, Jacke takes a look at one of these Twice-Told Tales, the short story "Wakefield," in which a Londoner abandons his wife, takes up residence one street away, then rejoins his family after twenty years as if he'd never left. The story is read in full by Emma Wilson, HOL producer. PLUS Amelia Possanza (Lesbian Love Story: A Memoir in Archives) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read.

In Episode Nineteen, DDSWTNP turn outward to a discussion of Rachel Kushner, whose Booker Prize-nominated Creation Lake, a 2024 novel about the folly of espionage, revolutionary violence, life underground, and confronting modernity with ancient practices in rural France, solidifies its author's reputation as a key inheritor of DeLillo's influence and themes. Creation Lake is narrated by a nihilistic spy named Sadie Smith who infiltrates a farming commune called Le Moulin and grows enchanted with the claims of their cave-dwelling philosophical advisor, who argues that Neanderthal life thousands of years ago holds the key to reshaping humankind. In it Kushner explores the legacy of France's 1968 while echoing The Names, Great Jones Street, Ratner's Star, Mao II, and other DeLillo works, as we outline in our discussion. We find rich references as well in Creation Lake to Nathaniel Hawthorne, Joan Didion, Michel Houellebecq, and Kushner's own previous works, especially The Flamethrowers and The Mars Room. Listeners looking for new writing reminiscent of DeLillo and those already knowledgeable of Kushner's works will find plenty here, and we hope this episode will be the first of several over time dedicated to DeLillo's massive influence on exciting new world literature. Texts and quotations mentioned and discussed in this episode, in addition to Creation Lake and those by DeLillo: Joan Didion, Play It As It Lays (1970) and Slouching Towards Bethlehem (1968) Dana Goodyear, “Rachel Kushner's Immersive Fiction,” The New Yorker, April 23, 2018 (includes discussion of Kushner's friendship with DeLillo) Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Blithedale Romance (1852) and The Scarlet Letter (1850) Michel Houellebecq, Serotonin (2019) Rachel Kushner, The Flamethrowers (2013) and The Mars Room (2018) ---. “Rachel Kushner: ‘The last book that made me cry? The Brothers Karamazov,” The Guardian, October 5, 2018 (source of this answer: “The book that influenced my writing: Probably novels by Joan Didion, Denis Johnson and Don DeLillo. But a whole lot of other books, too”) “In a real dark night of the soul, it is always three o'clock in the morning, day after day.” (F. Scott Fitzgerald, “The Crack-Up” (1936)– a line mangled slightly in the episode)

Salem, Massachusetts' Gardner-Pingree House was the scene of a horrific murder. In 1830, this had been one of the grandest houses in Salem and was owned by Captain Joseph White. On the night of April 6th, he was bludgeoned and stabbed to death. This event and the ensuing trial featured some prominent names. Daniel Webster was the prosecutor and writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne and H.P. Lovecraft were all inspired by elements from this true crime. Such a horrific murder can lead to rumors of hauntings. And several ghosts seem to be at unrest in the aftermath.  Intro and Outro music: Bad Players - Licensed under a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, single-site, worldwide, royalty-free license agreement with Muse Music c/o Groove Studios.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 22, 2024 is: betwixt • bih-TWIKST • adverb or preposition Betwixt is a synonym of between that lends an old-fashioned feel to both speech and writing. It is sometimes used in the phrase "betwixt and between" to mean "in the middle" or "neither one thing nor the other." // Charley took a seat betwixt two other passengers. // They sat on the long bench, a pile of books betwixt them. // The novel's protagonist is at the edge of early adulthood, when one is betwixt and between. See the entry > Examples: "Wolverines players were skipping toward the locker room after the trophy presentation, roses betwixt their teeth, battle scars on their bodies. Not many players in the recent history of college football have gone to the underworld and come back alive. But there was no doubt they belonged here, at last." — Tyler R. Tynes, The Los Angeles Times, 2 Jan. 2024 Did you know? Betwixt and between have similar origins: they both come from a combination of be- ("make, cause to be, treat as") and related Old English roots. Both words appeared before the 12th century, but use of betwixt dropped off considerably toward the end of the 1600s. It never fully disappeared, however, surviving especially in the phrase "betwixt and between" ("neither one thing nor the other"). Nathaniel Hawthorne employed betwixt no fewer than thirteen times in The Scarlet Letter, as when writing of "fear betwixt" the young, guilt-stricken minister Arthur Dimmesdale and Hester Prynne, as well as "a kind of horror at her boldness, who had spoken what he vaguely hinted at, but dared not speak." Nowadays, betwixt is uncommon, but it isn't archaic; it's simply used more purposefully than between, as it tends to lend a certain old-timey feel to speech and writing.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 9, 2024 is: coruscate • KOR-uh-skayt • verb To coruscate is to give off or reflect light in bright beams or flashes. Coruscate is used as a synonym of sparkle and may also be used to mean "to be brilliant or showy in technique or style." // She placed a bid on a classic car from the 1950s, replete with yards of coruscating chrome. See the entry > Examples: "The show is beautifully laid out. It's installed in a small, dark, semicircular gallery, with jewelry in vitrines spotlighted against a black acetate and Plexiglas. The diamonds glint and coruscate as you move across the displays." — Seph Rodney, The New York Times, 2 Sept. 2024 Did you know? "You're a shining star / No matter who you are." So sang the band Earth, Wind & Fire on their 1975 hit "Shining Star," which is not only a coruscating gem of funk and soul but one that serves as a handy (and catchy) way to remember the dual uses of the verb coruscate. This formal-sounding synonym of sparkle comes from the Latin verb coruscare, meaning "to flash." Originally, coruscate was used only literally, applied when things—such as, well, shining stars—glitter or gleam, as when Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote in his 1852 short story about a scarecrow, "Feathertop," that "the star kept coruscating on Feathertop's breast…." Eventually, coruscate gained figurative use, applying to those human shining stars who may be said to have a "coruscating wit" or "coruscating brilliance," or to things (such as satires, performances, or prose) that are metaphorically brilliant.

Giovanni enters the garden for the first time and soon Beatrice joins him. The two find they have much in common- but there is a lingering fear on the part of Giovanni regarding her poisonous apsect, a fear which become worse after Giovanni is warned by jhis father's friend that she has become a part of her father's deadly experiment.
