Having a Kiwi English tutor first piqued Tatiana Goded's interest in New Zealand as she grew up in Spain. Our frequent earthquakes later provided a natural place for her to work as a seismologist. She's now turned her hand to writing, with a book inspired by her experiences of being a Spanish expat in New Zealand. Her debut novel Trip Towards the Sunset considers what it's like to have a foot in two different worlds, never really feeling you belong in either. It's also a modern musing on motherhood - raising a family while still harbouring personal dreams of self-fulfillment. The three main characters' journeys take them around the world - from New Zealand to Scotland, Spain and Germany - all places with significance for Tatiana.

Can one decision be the fulcrum of a life?Or is destiny really millions of tiny choices swirled with events out of our control? That's one of the many questions at the heart of Eric Puchner's gorgeous new novel, “Dream State.” It's received a dizzying amount of praise since it was released in February — making the New York Times best seller list, becoming an Oprah Book Club pick. But despite the buzz, the novel is deceptively hard to pin down. Set in rural Montana, the book begins with two college buddies, as one of them, Charlie, prepares to marry the love of his life. But when Cece heads to the family cabin early to prepare for the wedding and meets no-nonsense best friend Garrett, her world wobbles. What happens next — amidst a wedding besieged by norovirus — launches the next 50 years, as the three friends remain intertwined by regrets and grief, possibilities and love. Puchner joins host Kerri Miller for a wide-ranging conversation on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas. Among topics of discussion: why so few authors write about male friendship, why meeting friends from your beloved's past can be so perilous and why setting “Dream State” in a Montana cabin was so crucial to the plot. Guest:Eric Puchner is an associate professor in the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University and the author of the novel “Model Home,” as well as several short stories. His new book is “Dream State.” Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.

In Kevin Nguyen's latest novel, a series of violent attacks leads the United States government to incarcerate all Vietnamese Americans in various camps throughout the country. The novel, titled My Documents, follows a group of cousins sent to different camps who attempt to figure out how to change their circumstances. Nguyen talks about his book ahead of an April 9 event at Books Are Magic.

“I'm really interested in the formal aspect of characters who are channeling language, who are speaking the words of other people, and in characters who are aware of how little agency they actually have, who have passivity forced upon them, who perhaps even embrace their passivity to a certain extent but eventually seek out where they can enact their agency.”Katie Kitamura is the author five novels, most recently Audition and Intimacies, which was named one of the New York Times 10 Best Books of 2021, longlisted for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award, and a finalist for a Joyce Carol Oates Prize.

" I think the narrative structure of those story ballets, which were some of the biggest stories of my childhood. I grew up watching Swan Lake. Giselle, La Bayadère, these were stories that were as present to me as anything that I read. Those story ballets are often split in two parts in a way. You have the White Swan and the Black Swan. In Giselle, you have the young girl and then you have the shade, the kind of ghost who comes to haunt her, her lover. Very similar in La Bayadère. And the structure of this novel is in two parts and it's two versions, in a way, of the same character. And now that you said it, I wonder if in some way, without realizing it, that narrative structure had really seeped into my brain."Katie Kitamura is the author five novels, most recently Audition and Intimacies, which was named one of the New York Times 10 Best Books of 2021, longlisted for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award, and a finalist for a Joyce Carol Oates Prize.

In his new novel, “Twist,” the National Book Award-winning Irish writer Colum McCann tells the story of a journalist deep at sea in more ways then one: A man adrift, he accepts a magazine assignment to write about the crews who maintain and repair the undersea cables that transmit all of the world's information. Naturally, the assignment becomes more treacherous and psychologically fraught than he had anticipated. On this week's episode, McCann tells host Gilbert Cruz how he became interested in the topic of information cables and why the story resonated for him at multiple levels.“Now, I don't know if the novel is prescient in any way. I wanted to talk about repair. And when I got deep into the subject, I did talk about repair — which is, human repair or actual repair of a cable. But I also ended up talking about sabotage, too. And the sabotage of these cables is something that has to be on our minds.” Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

For more than 20 years, author Chris Bohjalian carried the seed of a Civil War story in his imagination. It was inspired by the true story of a Southern woman who nursed a Union soldier back to health after he was injured on the battlefield. But the idea didn't grow roots until the racial uprisings after the murder of George Floyd, when Confederate statues came tumbling down. “Years ago, Tony Horowitz wrote a remarkable book called ‘Confederates in the Attic,' wondering why so much of the South was still fighting the Civil War,” Bohjalian tells host Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas. “Horowitz journeyed through the (region) to understand why the Lost Cause still existed in the minds of so many Southerners. I thought about that book a lot in 2020, as the statues came down on Monument Avenue in Richmond. That's when it really clicked in my mind.”Bohjalian and Miller also talk about the delicate dance of writing historical fiction — when facts must be accurate but the story enticing — and how the current day echoes our nation's past. Guest: Chris Bohjalian is the author of many books including “The Flight Attendant,” which was turned into a streaming series. His 25th novel is “The Jackal's Mistress.” Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.

An author described by the Los Angeles Times as a writer of unique genius has spoken to FRANCE 24 about his new novel "Wild Houses". Colin Barrett, who grew up in the northwest of Ireland, bases his books around a series of characters from the region. "Wild Houses" tells the story of a small-town revenge kidnapping that goes very wrong. He says that as a writer you don't choose the subjects and locations yourself, but they choose you. He spoke to us in Perspective.

Kirkus Reviews says Colum McCann's latest novel, Twist, is "another astounding novel from a fiction master." The story follows an Irish writer who is a assigned a story about the people who repair the underwater cables that help transmit information around the globe. Soon, the writer finds himself more embedded in the lives of these people than he ever imagined. McCann discusses the novel ahead of his event Wednesday evening at St. Joseph's with Phil Klay.

Certain authors gain respect and become immediate commitments from me. As in I am reading whatever the heck they put out. I have not read everything by Philip Fracassi yet, but he won me over with a short story (Fail-safe), and last year Boys in Valley did an amazing job grabbing me with one of the subgenres I am not a huge fan of - the possession novel. When I interviewed him for that book he was talking about working on this one, and I was excited that he was doing Science Fiction. The Third Rule of Time Travel is hard SF, as in the science is taken seriously. It has horror elements but is a character-driven emotional roller coaster of a novel that gave Richard Matheson vibes. The first half of the interview is spoiler-free and a warning we get into the nuts and bolts of writing this amazing novel.

The Antidote opens on what seems like an ordinary Sunday in a fictional town in 1930s Nebraska. But by 3 p.m., apocalyptic clouds cover the sun and make the afternoon look like midnight. Karen Russell's latest novel is set during the Dust Bowl – a period when poor farming practices and drought led to a wave of severe and damaging dust storms. In this bleak setting, we're introduced to a cast of characters, including a woman who stores other people's memories and a photographer tasked with documenting the crisis. In today's episode, Russell speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about the inspiration behind The Antitode's core characters, including the work of photographer Gordon Parks and an image that came to Russell as she finished her first novel.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In this episode of the Thriving Authors Podcast, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the timeline of drafting, editing and submitting (and editing and submitting again) that led to finally getting a publication deal for my new novel BEFORE & AFTER YOU & ME.It has been quite a long journey filled with ups and downs to get here! And I think it's really important to hear the real stories behind others' success. In fact, many times books aren't published in the order in which the writer wrote them (which has certainly been true for me!)In this episode you'll hear:What inspired the idea for this story 12 years ago.How I played around with the structure, setting and POV.Ways I took feedback to make my book better while staying true to myself and my vision for the book.What I feared would happen if I made any big changes to the book.The discouragement after making it to an acquisitions meeting at a big publisher but not getting an offer… and how I was able to learn from that experience and later get a publication deal with my wonderful publisher Owl Hollow Press.The process of working with amazing editors to get the book to the next level, which helped me grow so much as a writer.So even if it's a long journey to get YOUR book out into the world, who knows what's around the next corner. Just keep moving forward, find that next stepping stone and don't give up on yourself. You never know what opportunities and excitement are waiting for you!BEFORE & AFTER YOU & ME is available now and recently won the 2024 Indies Today Book Award for Best Teen Contemporary! I am so thrilled and honored by this news, and am eternally grateful to the team at Owl Hollow Press for bringing the best version of my book to life, and to everyone who has supported and spread the word about this story I poured my heart into for twelve years.P.S. If you decide you want to take the reins (and timeline) into your own hands and self-publish your book — but you don't want to worry about getting all the moving pieces coordinated and getting your book up on Amazon and Ingram Spark — you're in luck. I have a Book Publishing Package where I can handle that all for you, in addition to editing and cover/interior design. Just reach out!

We love speaking with filmmaker Andrew Davis. In late 2023 The Fugitive director came on our podcast The B-Side to discuss a slew of hidden gems as well as the 4K release of the Harrison Ford blockbuster. Davis is back to talk about his novel Disturbing the Bones, a political thriller that reads like an entertaining, extrapolated version of some of his best films. The plot concerns an archaeological dig in Illinois wherein a body is discovered. It leads to a murder investigation amidst a global crisis spurned by a catastrophic, nuclear mistake. The B-Side co-host Dan Mecca spoke with Davis about the book, his Arnold Schwarzenegger action film Collateral Damage, his upcoming projects, and the state of both the film industry and the country.

Despite being marketed on the cover as a thriller, Cynthia Pelayo's Wheelhouse is a horror novel about haunted Chicago, a city that is haunted not just by ghosts but by the long specter of this strange history that has swirled around the Windy City. No surprise as she has Bram Stoker and Latino book awards on her shelf.Vanishing Daughters has all the elements that she is known for while adding some subtle but meaningful Sci-fi elements. In this conversation, we go deep into the inspirations of the novel, Pelayo's process, and the power of meditation.

Karen Thompson Walker’s last book, "The Dreamers," imagined a mysterious virus that quickly spreads through a small college town and induces perpetual sleep.

In 2023 my top read of the year was Ray Nayler's debut novel The Mountain of the Sea. Not only that it is one of my favorite novels of the 21st century so far. Last year Nayler followed up that novel with the amazing novella Tusks of Extinction. Ray came on the podcast to talk about both of those books. I recommend reading both and listening to both interviews. Ray Nayler is a great guest, his combination of SF fandom, knowledge of science, and intergovernmental experience created a literary unicorn. One unbelievable alchemy of thought and talent spit out a sophomore masterpiece Where the Axe is Buried. In this conversation, we mostly focus on Where the Axe is Buried. We get into a little PKD, Putin, and oligarchy.

In today's episode, John C. A. Manley returns to discuss his latest book, ​​All the Humans Are Sleeping. As the first installment of The Metaverse Trilogy, this is a story that combines sci-fi excitement with profound insights into our future – making it essential reading for anyone intrigued by the dramatic evolution of human-technology relationships… Hailing from Stratford, Ontario, Canada, John is a writer of philosophical fiction who seamlessly blends seriousness with humor. With a background in Eastern philosophy, fine art, and ghostwriting, he began writing his first debut full-length novel in 2018.  Halted by the 2020 lockdowns, John shifted his focus to a new project: a short dystopian story exploring the potential trajectory of so-called “public health.” That short story eventually evolved into his debut novel, Much Ado About Corona. He is currently working on the sequel to ​​All the Humans Are Sleeping, entitled Brave New Normal.  Click play to find out: A synopsis of John's new novel.  A brief look into Canada's current medical system and how it inspired John's work.
