Beyond the Page: The Best of the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference
In his sixth novel, The Red Daughter, novelist (and regular Beyond the Page host, JOHN BURNHAM SCHWARTZ imaginatively inhabits the life of Svetlana Alliluyeva (1926 – 2011), the only daughter of Joseph Stalin, who in his three decades as the tyrannical ruler of the Soviet Union was responsible for the deaths of far more than twenty million people. At the height of the Cold War, Svetlana became the most important Soviet citizen ever to defect to the West, arriving in New York to throngs of reporters and a nation hungry to hear her story. By her side was a young lawyer sent by the CIA to smuggle her into America. That lawyer was John Burnham Schwartz’s father. In this episode of Beyond the Page, moving between excerpts from his talk at the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference and a conversation with New Yorker Staff Writer Larissa MaFarqhuhar, Schwartz recreates for us the story of an extraordinary, troubled woman’s search for a new life and a place to belong.

This week, we're discussing the comic storylines that should be featured on Supergirl! After many years of telling Superman stories on the show, from Red Kryptonite to Red Daughter, we felt it was time to talk about Supergirl's most iconic stories, and how they could be adapted to fit the show. From Bronze age one shots to groundbreaking graphic novels, Supergirl has incredible stories, and here are five that deserve to hit the small screen.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Journey Through History will meet on January 7, 2020 to discuss the very topical book, The Impeachers(db95385) by Brenda Wineapple. Last nights book –RED DAUGHTER-- continued to be controversial among the History Group.
David Faucheux, host of historical fiction, has selected a fictionalized account of the saga of the daughter of one of the evilest persons of the genocidal twentieth century to escape her history and lead a normal life.
This week, Catherine Raynes reviews two new exciting books for you to read. One Good Deed - David BaldacciIt's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of do's and a much longer list of don'ts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job--and don't ever associate with loose women.The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail. Within a single night, his search for gainful employment--and a stiff drink--leads him to a local bar, where he is hired for what seems like a simple job: to collect a debt owed to a powerful local businessman, Hank Pittleman.Soon Archer discovers that recovering the debt won't be so easy. The indebted man has a furious grudge against Hank and refuses to pay; Hank's clever mistress has her own designs on Archer; and both Hank and Archer's stern parole officer, Miss Crabtree, are keeping a sharp eye on him.When a murder takes place right under Archer's nose, police suspicions rise against the ex-convict, and Archer realizes that the crime could send him right back to prison . . . if he doesn't use every skill in his arsenal to track down the real killer.The Red Daughter - John Burnham SchwartzRunning from her father’s brutal legacy, Joseph Stalin’s daughter defects to the United States during the turbulence of the 1960s. For fans of We Were the Lucky Ones and A Gentleman in Moscow, this sweeping historical novel and unexpected love story is inspired by the remarkable life of Svetlana Alliluyeva.In one of the most momentous events of the Cold War, Svetlana Alliluyeva, the only daughter of the Soviet despot Joseph Stalin, abruptly abandoned her life in Moscow in 1967, arriving in New York to throngs of reporters and a nation hungry to hear her story. By her side is Peter Horvath, a young lawyer sent by the CIA to smuggle Svetlana into America.She is a contradictory celebrity: charismatic and headstrong, lonely and haunted, excited and alienated by her adopted country’s radically different society. Persuading herself that all she yearns for is a simple American life, she attempts to settle into a suburban existence in Princeton, New Jersey. But one day an invitation from the widow of the architect Frank Lloyd Wright arrives, and Svetlana impulsively joins her cultlike community at Taliesin West. When this dream ends in disillusionment, Svetlana reaches out to Peter, the one person who understands how the chains of her past still hold her prisoner. Their relationship changes and deepens, moving from America to England to the Soviet Union and back again, unfolding under the eyes of her CIA minders, and Svetlana’s and Peter’s private lives are no longer their own.Novelist John Burnham Schwartz’s father was in fact the young lawyer who escorted Svetlana Alliluyeva to the United States. Drawing upon private papers and years of extensive research, Schwartz imaginatively re-creates the story of an extraordinary, troubled woman’s search for a new life and a place to belong, in the powerful, evocative prose that has made him an acclaimed author of literary and historical fiction.

Supergirl finally fights Kasnia's favorite daughter Red Daughter. Also Lex's true paln is finally revealed
This week the proverbial poo hits the spinning blades this week. While Kara is able to escape her captivity, it's only to go head to head with Red Daughter and wind up getting the brakes beaten off her. Surrounding this storyline is Alex rediscovering the memories J'onn erased, potentially triggered by the stress of the adoption falling through and the realization that the adoption was designed to fill a hole she didn't realize existed in her life. Chyler Leigh delivered a masterful and emotional performance, even in the wake of us screaming at the teleivision "THAT IS NOT HOW SUNLIGHT WORKS!" Meanwhile, Brainiac 5 is unleashed when Brainy, Nia and J'onn go undercover to discover where the captured aliens are being sent and Brainy is tortured. This causes him to turn on Nia and J'onn and use them as pawns in his plan. Is this the seeding of next year's big bad? Lockwood learns that much like most of the White men in American government he got his job through manipulation and connections and not any real talent or intelligence of his own. Finally, Red Daughter pays the ultimate price for trusting Lex. Like what you hear? Subscribe so you don't miss an episode!

*insert Don LaFontaine's voice here* In a world where Lex Luthor is free, no one is safe from his villainy and cunning. Kara is framed for attempted murder and destruction of federal property via the use of Red Daughter. James' mind is blown when it is revealed to him that Lex had a hand in his shooting. Lena learns to extent of Eve Tessmacher's machinations under Lex's direction. Lillian learns her son was about to commit matricide. J'onn...J'onn... Okay uncue Don's voice here because technically what's going on with J'onn has nothing to do with Lex, but it does bring back our favorite Carl Lumbly as Pappa J'onnz to tell his son to stop being a dumbass and so literal.

We review Heredity and Incredibles 2. Chris Hardwick is accused rape and other awful things. The Shining has a sequel in the works. I Zombie wraps up. Supergirl will tell the Red Sun story for season four. Star Wars is halting standalone movies. And we remember Throw Momma from the Train, along with Billy Crystal and Danny DeVito's bodies of work.
Supergirl shakes things up in the finale and Cloak and Dagger moves things along .. slowly.
