“Lungfish is a force of nature—a deeply felt marvel of a book that navigates grief, parenthood, and the mysteries of family with unrelenting power and precision. Here is a story about the islands we build and carry with us. Here is storytelling at its best.” —Paul Yoon, author of Snow Hunters and Run Me to Earth Tuck is slow to understand the circumstances that have driven her family to an uninhabited island off the coast of Maine, the former home of her deceased grandmother where she once spent her childhood summers. Squatting there now, she must care for her spirited young daughter and scrape together enough money to leave before winter arrives—or before they are found out. Relying on the island for sustenance and answers—bladderwrack, rosehips, tenacious little green crabs; smells held by the damp walls of the house, field guides and religious texts, a failed invention left behind by her missing father—Tuck lives moment-by-moment through the absurdity, beauty, paranoia, and hunger that shoots through her life, as her husband struggles to detox. Exquisitely written and formally daring, Lungfish tells the story of a woman grappling through the lies she has been told—and those she has told herself—to arrive at the truth of who she is and where she must go. Meghan Gilliss's debut is a brilliant and heartbreaking novel about addiction, doubt, marriage, motherhood, and learning to see in the dark. Meghan Gilliss attended the Bennington Writing Seminars and is a fellow of the Hewnoaks Artist Residency. She has worked as a journalist, a bookseller, a librarian, and a hospital worker, and lives in Portland, Maine. Lungfish is her first novel.  Lynn Steger Strong is the author of the novels Hold Still, Want, and Flight. Her non-fiction has appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, New York, The Paris Review, Time, and elsewhere. She has taught writing at The Pratt Institute, Fairfield University, Catapult, and Columbia University and will be the Visiting Fiction Writer at Bates College for the 2022-2023 school year. She was born and raised in South Florida. ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Beginning in 1960’s Laos, “Run Me to Earth” by Paul Yoon is a novel spanning decades. It tells the story of 3 orphans who risk their lives collecting medical supplies across a nightmare landscape of unexploded bombs.

Award-winning author Paul Yoon discusses Run Me To Earth, his heartbreaking novel of three orphans in 1960s Laos, with Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Hernan Diaz. With charm and humor, the two authors talk about how to write about trauma and violence in a way that is delicate, respectful, and beautiful), touching on both the history that informs the novel and the craft that shaped it. (Recorded at our Fort Greene store on January 30, 2020)

On this edition of The Weekly Reader, we review two new books about two very different wars. Marion Winik on Paul Yoon's Run Me to Earth and Ariel Lawhon's Code Name Helene. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode, Shane selects Pinegrove's new album Marigold as his 2020 pick. Shane and Trevor have fun exploring the themes of this album and hear influences that include musicians Deathcab for Cutie and Phil Elverum, as well as literary influences such as George Saunders and William Faulkner. The music itself spans genres from alt country to emo and indie. They appreciate diving into this album both for the musical and lyrical enjoyment as well as the reminders to stand up tall and stay hydrated. Included on this episode are musical contributions by Pinegrove fans Zebeeb Awalom and Paul Yoon. Links to their songs can be found below.Zebeeb Awalom https://www.instagram.com/p/B61jG-Wn8Pb/?igshid=12fl16ge4m85sPaul Yoon https://www.instagram.com/tv/B66-p9PJUtO/?igshid=1mpo1a39as045 

Author Paul Yoon speaks with Nancy Pearl about where his stories come from, his writing process, and what influences his poetic writing style. Yoon's new book, "Run Me To Earth," follows three orphans in Laos during the late 1960s and early 1970s when the U.S. Air Force and CIA dropped an estimated two million tons of ordnance on the tiny, landlocked country as part of a covert attempt to defeat communism in Southeast Asia. He also explains his interest in stories of war and displacement and how that subject affects him personally.

Andrew Zimmern and José Andrés talk about Zimmern's new show What's Eating America and how it explores the ties between political issues and cuisine.Author Paul Yoon discusses his book Run Me to Earth and his dog’s unique role in his writing process.

In a story that shifts through time, Ramón de Ocampo is a welcome guide, and his narration is as lush and mesmerizing as the prose itself. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly talk about Paul Yoon’s historical novel that begins in Laos in 1969, and shows three very different paths taken by teenagers caught up in the bombing of the country by the United States. Alisak, Pranny, and Noi have found work in an almost completely abandoned field hospital, getting paid to ride motorbikes through streets and fields of unexploded bombs to ferry in supplies and the injured. The friends are separated when a doctor helps them escape, and we discover how tiny actions can have huge ramifications. Published by Simon & Schuster Audio.

This week we are joined by author Katie Kitamura to read and discuss her new book 'A Separation.' 'A Separation' is one woman's inner thoughts as she travels to Greece to try to uncover the mystery of her separated and soon-to-be divorced from husband who goes missing on a research trip.And as always, we close the show with recommendations. Katie recommends 'The Mountain', an upcoming short story collection by Paul Yoon. "[The stories] kind of migrate, there's a path of migration but both through time and through space. They are really beautifully observed." MJ recommends 'Evicted' by Matthew Desmond. "It is this incredible investigation into poverty and the practice of eviction in America and how eviction really is a destabilizing force in America that not only destabilizes families but also whole communities." Aliza recommends 'Feud,' Ryan Murphy's current show on FX. It's about the creation of the movie What Ever Happened to Baby Jane.' I LOVE it. As a series, it is so well done; as social commentary, it is so well done, the actors in it are amazing." Peter recommends the new Comedy Central show 'Detroiters.' "It is freaking hilarious." He also recommends the FX show Legion "It is exceptionally interesting television. Even when the story makes no sense, it is still mesmerizing to watch." And we have a bonus recommendation: this video of a girl professing her love to a broken water boiler, which she thinks is a friendly robot. MJ says, "My emotions were not prepared for this video. It is adorable!"

The Regional Office is Under Attack! (Riverhead Books) In a world beset by amassing forces of darkness, one organization the Regional Office and its coterie of super-powered female assassins protects the globe from annihilation. At its helm, the mysterious Oyemi and her oracles seek out new recruits and root out evil plots. Then a prophecy suggests that someone from inside might bring about its downfall. And now, the Regional Office is under attack.  Recruited by a defector from within, Rose is a young assassin leading the attack, eager to stretch into her powers and prove herself on her first mission. Defending the Regional Office is Sarah who may or may not have a mechanical arm fiercely devoted to the organization that took her in as a young woman in the wake of her mother's sudden disappearance. On the day that the Regional Office is attacked, Rose's and Sarah's stories will overlap, their lives will collide, and the world as they know it just might end.  Weaving in a brilliantly conceived mythology, fantastical magical powers, teenage crushes, and kinetic fight scenes, The Regional Office Is Under Attack!"is a seismically entertaining debut novel about revenge and allegiance and love.
