Dark Rideby Lou Berney9/23/23 William MorrowThis week we visited with an old friend, Lou Berney, about his new book “Dark Ride.:From Lou Berney, the acclaimed, multi award-winning author of November Road and The Long and FarawayGone, comes a Dark RideSometimes the person you least expect is just the hero you needTwenty-one-year-old Hardy “Hardly” Reed—good-natured, easygoing, usually stoned—is drifting through life.A minimum-wage scare actor at an amusement park, he avoids unnecessary effort and unrealistic ambitions.Then one day he notices two children, around six or seven, sitting all alone on a bench. Hardly checks ifthey're okay and sees injuries on both children. Someone is hurting these kids.He reports the incident to Child Protective Service.That should be the end of it. After all, Hardly's not even good at looking out for himself so the last thing hewants to do is look out for anyone else. But he's haunted by the two kids, his heart breaking for them. And themore research he does the less he trusts that Child Protective Services —understaffed and overworked—willdo anything about it.That leaves...Hardly. He is probably the last person you'd ever want to count on. But those two kids havenobody else but him. Hardly has to do what's right and help them.For the first time in his life, Hardly decides to fight for something. This might be the one point in his entire life,he realizes, that is the entire point of his life. He will help those kids.At first, trying to gather evidence that will force the proper authorities to intervene, Hardly is a total disaster.Gradually, with assistance from unexpected allies, he develops investigative skills and discovers he's smarterand more capable than he ever imagined.But Hardly also discovers that the situation is more dangerous than he ever expected. The abusive father whohas been hurting these children isn't just a lawyer—he also runs a violent drug-dealing operation. The motherclaims she wants to escape with the kids—but Hardly isn't sure he can trust her.Faced with a different version of himself than he has ever known, Hardly refuses to give up. But hiscommitment to saving these kids from further harm might end up getting the kids, and Hardly himself, killed.TRIVIALast week's question was:Isaac Asminov was a prolific author but he had one serious phobia.. What was it?a. Fear of the number 13b. Fear of Heightsc. Fear of Closed spacesd. Fear of flyingThe answer is d. Fear of Flying.. Asimov was afraid of flying, doing so only twice: once in the course ofhis work at the Naval Air Experimental Station and once returning home from Oahu In 1946. Consequently, heseldom traveled great distances. This phobia influenced several of his fiction works, such as the Wendell Urthmystery stories and the Robot novels featuring Elijah Baley. In his later years, Asimov found enjoymenttraveling on cruise ships, beginning in 1972 when he viewed the Appollo 11 launch from a cruise ship. Onseveral cruises, he was part of the entertainment program, giving science-themed talks aboard ships such asthe Queen Elizabeth 2. He sailed to England in June 1974 on the SS France for a trip mostly devoted tolectures in London and Birmingham, though he also found time to visit Stonehenge.This week's question is:Mystery author Charlotte MacLeod had a family connection to which criminala.

Liz talks with Dianna Hunter about her memoir Wild Mares: My Lesbian Back-to-the-Land Life. A firsthand account of the lesbian feminist movement at its inception, Wild Mares is a deeply personal, wryly wise, and always engaging view of identity politics lived and learned in real life and, literally, on the ground, flourishing in the fertile soil of a struggling dairy farm in the American heartland.

award-winning author Lou Berney’s NOVEMBER ROAD (on sale 10/9). This remarkable novel defies categorization – it’s a thriller, it’s historical fiction, it’s a love story—above all it’s an amazing piece of storytelling. I wanted to highlight some topics that I thought would be great for an interview with Lou Berney’s NOVEMBER ROAD (on sale 10/9): • JFK’s Brain is Missing: While a lot of the conspiracy theories about the Kennedy assassination are pretty wild, the facts are just as incredible. For example, JFK’s brain, which might have answered once and for all from which direction the fatal shot was fired, vanished from the National Archives in 1966. It has never been found. • In NOVEMBER ROAD, New Orleans crime boss Carlos Marcello orchestrates the Kennedy assassination. Several different conspiracy theories are intriguing, but Berney thinks the Marcello theory is the most plausible. Marcello, the most powerful and dangerous mob boss in America at the time, stayed out of the headlines, kept a low profile, and – unlike contemporaries such as Sam Giancana – lived to a ripe old age before he died of natural causes. A sign in his office said: Three can keep a secret if two are dead. A time of turmoil and uncertainty: 2018 or 1963? • In 1963 profound change was beginning to ripple across the country: Civil Rights, women’s rights, international relations and the threat of nuclear war. The Kennedy assassination crystallized for Americans the sense that they faced the unnerving prospect of an unknowable future. • The assassination of the President, and her own reaction to it, motivates Charlotte to leave her husband and head to California. As a woman in 1963, she faced obstacles that women had traditionally faced, but also recognized an opportunity to change her life. Author Lou Berney’s mother found herself in a similar situation at the time, before he was born. He always wondered “what if” she had chosen a different path. • America in post-war ‘50s and early ‘60s has often been depicted as idyllic, peaceful, and prosperous. This was not necessarily the case for significant segments of the population. Theodore, the young African-American man hired by the hitman to drive him, represents how pervasive racial inequality was at the time, and how members of marginalized communities lived under very difficult rules, with very different prospects. • Frank Guidry grows up very poor in rural Louisiana, and like Theodore he’s swept up into a life of crime be
