I've admired Mikka Jacobsen's craft ever since I read her essay collection, MODERN FABLES, a couple of years ago, and was thrilled to see that everything I love about her voice returns in her latest book, the short story collection GOOD VICTORY, stories mostly set in Alberta, in which the mundane mingles with the extraordinary to incredible results. It was also such a pleasure to meet her online and get to talk about her fiction debut, and whether or not she believes in such things as ghosts, psychics, or life coaches. In our BOOKSPO conversation, she tells me how Samantha Hunt's novel THE SEAS gave her permission to get unabashedly weird in her fiction, and also to treat her characters' yearnings for love with the seriousness with which such yearnings deserve. She talks about how her feminism shows up in her writing, both the stories and essays; the ways in which writing fiction is harder than memoir, and how releasing a second book feels different (and maybe better?) than releasing a first. Debut stories about the absurdity of growing up and being human in the twenty-first century.A woman finds her childhood friend working in a booth at a psychic fair in the West Edmonton Mall courtyard. A lonely neuropsychology student steals cocaine from his lab rat to impress a Tinder date. Teenage girls play a dangerous game and discover a portal to another reality. These penetrating stories explore the strangeness and absurdity of being human in the twenty-first century: high school dances and teen pregnancy, bearded ladies and neighbourhood flashers, life coaches and Dolly Parton karaoke. Both unsettling and illuminating, Good Victory shines light in dark places.Mikka Jacobsen is the author of the essay collection Modern Fables (Freehand Books, 2022). Her work has appeared in Joyland, The Fiddlehead, The Puritan, Prairie Fire, Canadian Notes & Queries, The Missouri Review, and Lit Hub, among others. She won Alberta Views‘ 2022 Short Story Contest. She lives in Calgary, AB. Good Victory is her first collection of stories.Pickle Me This is a reader-supported publication.

Born in Belgium in 1954 to conservative, Catholic parents, Lucy Sante migrated to New York in the 1960s, where she became associated with the Bohemian artistic milieu of the city. After producing several highly acclaimed works of history such as Low Life and The Other Paris and translating Félix Fénéon's feuilletons for NYRB as Novels in Three Lines, she announced in 2021 that she was transitioning: ‘Yes, I've known since at least age 11 but probably earlier and yes, I suppressed and denied it for decades', she wrote at the time. In I Heard Her Call My Name (Hutchinson Heinemann), ‘a generous, fearlessly revealing book' (Samantha Hunt), she describes with great grace, wit and humility her decision to begin living the life she knew was truly hers.Sante is in conversation about her memoir with writer and filmmaker Juliet Jacques.

Slushies, get ready for some trailblazing poems in the form of mathematical proofs, theorems, and other types of mathematical reasoning that level their gaze at heartbreak. One poem even embeds a second poem as a footnote. Alex reminds us all of the hermit crab essay/poem format, prompting Sam to recall Maggie Nelson's Bluets, in which the end of a powerful love is likened to the experience of shedding yet still living with an abandoned skin or shell. Come along for a ride with some poetic work that's furious and logical in equal measure!    Links to things we discuss that you may dig:     Joe Wenderoth's Letters to Wendy's   Samantha Hunt's The Seas    Maggie Nelson's Bluets    This episode is brought to you by our sponsor Wilbur Records, who kindly introduced us to the artist is A.M.Mills whose song “Spaghetti with Loretta” now opens our show.     At the table: Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Samantha Neugebauer, Alex J Tunney, and Dagne Forrest  Rei Alta is a black writer, disciple of science, artist, and proud supernerd.

While there is no such thing as soulmates, our cognitive compatibility was substantially higher than that of my previously observed matches.  Hence, I feel an intensity through recollecting him such that most other things pale in comparison.  Therefore, I remember him in order to feel something when I don't.      Theorem 2.1.  There exists an absolute truth about why I loved him and why I haven't been able to let go.    Proof:  By definition, “All things happen for a reason.”   Since it is true that loving him and being unable to let go has happened, there must be a reason that caused it.   This reason must be the truth. Suppose not; i.e., suppose this reason was not the truth. Then it would not have possessed the power necessary to cause such a consequential thing to happen.  Such a consequential thing did happen. Thus, there is an attributable reason that is the truth.      Theorem 2.2. I must understand why I have not been able to let go—in order to let go.    Proof:  By my own definition, I am a finder of truth.   By Theorem 2.1, there is a truth to be found. If there is a truth I have not yet found, then I must find it in order to exist since finding truth defines me.  Thus, I have no path forward but to find the truth.      ____________________________________________________________________________ CAVEAT: Due to the following factors, the validity of the proofs outlined above is questionable:  Invalid underlying assumptions Faulty reasoning Insufficient information   As a result, extrapolation based on the conclusions laid out in the preceding section is not advised.     ----more---- wave height  CREST  you approached  after cycles of fire  there was a tectonic shift  fueled by molten rock and dressed up decay  i believed your promise this time around — i felt it lift my feet        TROUGH1  you receded  re-defining “forever”   as “only thirteen days” (a real trailblazer!)  and like eddies forming behind Pinnacle Rock      the reverse current dragged me in asymmetric swirls     [1]  i wish my love became a two-toed sloth like the algae on its fur it ignores his simple existence   i wish my love became a deep sea vent spewing sulfur to fill his nostrils and make him gag   i wish my love strutted down the cobblestones in heels with a long, deliberate stride and a toss of its hair      ----more---- I Outline the Hypotheses    I got this  This is 101  I simply need to determine what a human woman should feel in this situation based on whether or not I can reject the null:    H0 (null) =                   He's a small person on a power trip                   Who never cared                   He wasn't actually sick from bad Indian food                    Each time I felt we needed to talk    H1 =                    He's not small but broken                    It was shame that caused him to disappear without warning;                    I memorialized every scene of his trauma                    While he forgot my middle name    H2 =                    He's an emotionless sociopath in a decade-long grift                   Laughing about me with his friends                    Each month he adds some new mark to his collection                    One day he'll be caught and I'll guest star in a true crime documentary    Yes, all very plausible  Now all that's left to detect an effect is to dampen the noise

We were apart again while recording this episode. Emily was in Colorado visiting her son and daughter-in-law. She also shared part of her salad with a magpie at The Bookworm bookstore and cafe in Edward's CO. We are so grateful for the technology that allows us to get together to talk about books from wherever we are. As for what we're reading, Chris is nearing the end of OUTLANDER by Diana Gabaldon and Emily is reading TAKE WHAT YOU NEED by Idra Novey (release date is 3/14/2023). We both read SWEET THURSDAY by John Steinbeck and also listened to ON WRITING: A MEMOIR OF THE CRAFT by Stephen King. Chris is dipping into the Library of America edition of CONSTANCE FENIMORE WOOLSON: COLLECTED STORIES and Emily read THE SEAS by Samantha Hunt and SHAME by Annie Ernaux. In Biblio Adventures, after we recorded the last episode we realized we forgot to talk about visiting the fantastic Lenox Library in Lenox, MA! Emily attended a virtual event at the San Francisco Public Library in celebration of their One City One Book selection, THIS IS EAR HUSTLE:: Unflinching Stories of Everyday Prison Life; with Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods, moderated by Piper Kerman author of ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK: My Year in a Women's Prison. Meanwhile, back in Connecticut, Chris returned books to The Institute Library and then took a walk to visit Grey Matter Books and Barnes & Noble. On November 30th we are heading to Amherst, MA for the screening of the pop opera Emily & Sue at Amherst College hosted by the newly renovated Emily Dickinson Museum. We also got tickets for a tour of Dickinson's house earlier in the day – we can't wait to see what's changed since our last visit. Last call to join in on our readalong discussion of MURDER ON THE RED RIVER by Marcie R. Rendon. If you would like to participate in the Zoom conversation on Sunday, December 4th at 7 PM (ET) please email us (bookcougars@gmail.com). We also have a discussion thread on our Goodreads group if you'd like to chat about the book there. AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: We had a blast talking with author, TV writer, and lawyer Marcia Clark and Our Mystery Man, John Valeri. Marcia's new standalone thriller, THE FALL GIRL, is out now! We both enjoyed the audio version.

In fact, by the time she was 17, she had already started a candle company. She has served 4 terms as city councilwoman. While on city council she was instrumental in getting laws passed permitting the growing of medical cannabis within the city limits. A huge relief to many medical patients. In 1979 she was diagnosed with MS before there were definitive ways to diagnose it. In 1995 her first grandchild was born and she quit thinking cannabis isn't something grandmas do. Fast forward to 2001 when she began to have some physical issues and was diagnosed with MS and give western medicine to treat it. Within 9 years she had be near death twice, paralyzed 3 times and wound up in the hospital with a failed pancreas and liver. At which time she told her doctor if the cure is going to kill me then I will take my chances with the illness. 2 weeks later she was in Spokane, the only place in Eastern Washington to get medical authorizations and had one. Over the next 10 years she spent time researching, gaining knowledge along the way. In 2018 it became apparent to her that the knowledge being shared on the Westside of the State was not filtering over to the Eastside. Hence the inception of Wo-Can.

Contact: Lcamp@highlandsmortgage.com Debra Callahan- Founder, owner and operator of Wo-Can Retreats Debra started using cannabis later in life. Beginning at 21 in 1977 when she asked her younger brother to pick up some weed and a bong for her and the rest is history. In 1979 she was diagnosed with MS before there were definitive ways to diagnose it. In 1995 her first grand was born and she quit thinking this isn't something grandmas do. Fast forward to 2001 when she began to have some physical issues and was diagnosed with MS and give western medicine to treat it. Within 9 years she had be near death twice, paralyzed 3 times and wound up in the hospital with a failed pancreas and liver. At which time she told her doctor if the cure is going to kill me then I will take my chances with the ill. 2 week later she was in Spokane, the only place in Eastern Washington to get medical authorizations and had one. Over the next 10 years she spent time researching, attending MMJ University taking classes, and attending any and all functions relating to cannabis such as Hempfest (volunteer for 3 years), CannaCon, Cannabis Summit and many more gaining knowledge along the way. In 2018 it became apparent to her that the knowledge being shared on the Westside of the State was not filtering over to the Eastside. Hence the inception of Wo-Can. Women and Cannabis, an enlightening educating experience bring like minded women together for knowledge, fellowship, music, stories and so much more. Her favorite part of having Wo-Can is meeting new people and sharing knowledge because it allow her to share knowledge and commune with like minded people. The Wo-Can women have the most fun and have become a close knit family of women who meet for walks and lunches throughout the year. We also can call on one another when one of the ladies needs assistance. When not teaching or advocating for cannabis she can be found in her garden and maintaining her sustainable farm. She also likes to cook, sew, craft and can. Her Cajun Pickled Asparagus recipe can be obtained at any extension office in the nation. She is a teacher, advocate and woman who enjoys everything cannabis from Washington State.

I am a survivor of child abuse, sexual abuse by a family member (at a very young age), and neglect. I was born in Iowa, but moved to Arkansas at 9 years old, in 1992. About 1997 or 1998, I discovered cannabis for the first time. I realized that I was finally able to be calm after years of being prescribed different types of medicines for ADHD that did not work. I was finally able to feel normal. Since cannabis was not yet legal, I struggled through using different narcotics, psychotropic medicines, and prescriptions for my various health issues. This led to suicide attempts throughout my life, including one that led me to being hospitalized. About the same time, cannabis was coming up for a legalization vote in Arkansas. My wife and I decided to explore the use of cannabis once again as part of my medical regime. Of course, that made a big difference. In the past couple years, I have opened up to my wife and we discovered together that cannabis helps my pain and makes me a better father and husband. Creating art became an outlet for my mental health therapy, especially since I struggle with reading and writing, so journaling was not helpful for me. After a few months, I discovered that painting pieces that feature cannabis are the ones that I enjoy creating the most." - Matt Flowers Emily Victoria Smith: @theonemanbandit Emily V.

The novel begins with the friendship between two young, Asian American boys in a small, Midwestern town who bond over their outcast status and shared love of comic books. Meanwhile, in an alternate or perhaps future universe, a team of superheroes debates the efficacy of protest and swaps stories of artistic ennui on their lunch breaks. Recalling the work of Tom McCarthy and Valeria Luiselli, Eugene Lim gleefully toys with narrative conventions—blending Hollywood chase scenes with sharp cultural critiques, hard-boiled detective pulps with subversive philosophy. Unfolding like the revelations of a dream, Dear Cyborgs weaves together the story of a friendship’s dissolution with provocative and lively meditations on creativity and political dissent. Praise for Dear Cyborgs  “Eugene Lim’s Dear Cyborgs is a mad badass fan letter to comicdom and a chastening reminder of how America’s greatest fantasy doesn’t involve superheroes with superpowers but the prospect of a fair and honest political life. Go read it in the streets.” —Joshua Cohen, author of Book of Numbers “Eugene Lim tells his sly superhero tales in a kind of hard-boiled deadpan—a voice at once incongruously comic and playfully soulful. Beneath the dry wit there’s an ache of loneliness, an echo of every comic-book reader’s yearning for the camaraderie of the super team, the intimate enmity of the nemesis.” —Peter Ho Davies, author of The Fortunes “Eugene Lim’s Dear Cyborgs is a secret tunnel fresh with cool, strange storms. What is it to be super? What is it to be beyond? Dear Cyborgs is ripe with mysteries, heroes, even heartache.” —Samantha Hunt, author of Mr. Splitfoot “[An] entertaining reflection on art, resistance, heroes, and villains . . . [Dear Cyborgs] is eerily reflective of our fractured times, darting from subject to subject with the speed of a mouse click. A colorful meditation on friendship and creation nested within a fictional universe.” —Kirkus Reviews Eugene Lim is the author of two novels, Fog & Car and The Strangers. His writing has appeared in Fence, the Denver Quarterly, Little Star, Dazed, The Brooklyn Rail, and elsewhere. He is the founder and managing editor of Ellipsis Press and works as a librarian in a high school. He lives in Queens, New York. Harold Abramowitz is from Los Angeles.  His books include Blind Spot, Not Blessed, Dear Dearly Departed, Man’s Wars And Wickedness: A Book of Proposed Remedies & Extreme Formulations for Curing Hostility, Rivalry, & Ill-Will (with Amanda Ackerman), and UNFO Burns A Million Dollars. Harold co-edits the short-form literary press eohippus labs, and writes and edits as part of the collaborative projects, SAM OR SAMANTHA YAMS and UNFO. Janice Lee is the author of KEROTAKIS (Dog Horn Press, 2010), Daughter (Jaded Ibis, 2011), Damnation (Penny-Ante Editions, 2013), Reconsolidation (Penny-Ante Editions, 2015), and most recently the essay collection The Sky Isn’t Blue (Civil Coping Mechanisms, 2016). She currently lives in Los Angeles and is Editor of the imprint #RECURRENT for Civil Coping Mechanisms, Founder & Executive Editor of Entropy, Assistant Editor at Fanzine, and Co-Editor (w/ Maggie Nelson) of SUBLEVEL, the new online literary magazine based in the CalArts MFA Writing Program. She can be found online at janicel.com. Karen An-hwei Lee is author of the poetry collections Phyla of Joy (Tupelo 2012), Ardor (Tupelo 2008), In Medias Res (Sarabande 2004), and a novel, Sonata in K (Ellipsis 2017).

When Samantha Hunt drops by the Damn Library, the guys try to put a shadow in her drink but just end up with something more blood colored. They discuss her story collection, The Dark Dark, the Normas in one's life, and ticks, as well as transcending genre. The story collection she suggested, Chavisa Woods' Things to Do When You're Goth in the Country, also transcends genre, and the trio can't stop deciding on favorite stories.  15 seconds of a song: Say Hi - Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh support the show! patreon.com/smdb book lists/drink recipes at somanydamnbooks.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Samantha Hunt reads her story from the May 22, 2017, issue of the magazine. Hunt is the author of the novels “The Seas,” “The Invention of Everything Else,” and “Mr. Splitfoot.” Her first story collection, “The Dark Dark,” will be published in July.

Advice from a psychic led Annie Hartnett to the residency that helped her finish her fantastic novel, RABBIT CAKE. She and James talk about spending time in cemeteries, writing in yards, giving a good reading, and how to sprinkle naked mole rat facts throughout to make the best fiction. Then, Masie Cochran from Tin House Books talks about discovering RABBIT CAKE and her route to becoming an editor.  - Annie Hartnett: http://www.anniehartnett.com/ Annie and James Discuss:  "Refresh, Refresh" by Benjamin Percy  GOSSIP GIRL  Newtonville Books  Tin House Books  Hamilton College Bread Loaf School of English  University of Alabama  Grub Street  Boston Public Library  Kellie Wells  Kobo  The Bread Loaf Writers' Conference  Mike Scalise  Alex Awards  THE KEPT REDIVIDER  FIND ME by Laura van den Berg  THE FAMILY FANG by Kevin Wilson  SWAMPLANDIA by Karen Russell  Aimee Bender  Samantha Hunt  THE WILDS by Julia Elliott  Mary Cotton  Jaime Clarke  George Saunders  - Tin House Books: https://www.tinhouse.com/books/ Masie and James Discuss:   (intro)  SWIMMING LESSONS by Claire Fuller  OUR ENDLESS NUMBERED DAYS by Claire Fuller  GHOST SONGS by Regina McBride  THE OTHER SIDE by Lacy Johnson  DRYLAND by Sara Jaffe  RELIEF MAP by Rosalie Knecht  (talk)  Katie Grimm of Don Congdon Associates  Michael Farris Smith  Nanci McCloskey Sabrina Wise TIN HOUSE  Tin House Writers' Workshop  Win McCormack  Richard Pine  Inkwell Management  GEEK LOVE by Katherine Dunn  99 STORIES OF GOD by Joy Williams  Jim Shepard  - http://tkpod.com / tkwithjs@gmail.com / Twitter: @JamesScottTK Instagram: tkwithjs / Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tkwithjs/

Dave, Jami and Tony discuss the game Rocket League, the book Mr. Splitfoot by Samantha Hunt, the movie The Revenant, and the book and film adaptation of The Martian.

Join us this week as Nathan talks seemingly endlessly about Star Wars - no, not even the new one, but about the prequel trilogy, digital effects, and the curse of the 1990s. Sarah has been reading Jonathan Bate's biography of Ted Hughes, a very sharp look at a titanic talent and an utter bastard, and Sarah has also reviewed Samantha Hunt's new novel Mr Splitfoot and did not like it, which leads to a discussion about how critics feel when they need to be mean about things (poor us!) and, inexplicably, a blow-by-blow summary of several episodes of Adam Buxton's new podcast. Sorry.

With special guests: Handmade Moments, Cosmic-American, Dr Dan and Melonie, Drawing Blanks, Samantha Hunt, Amanda Ray and Voxanna!

No One Is Here Except All of Us (Riverhead) We're pleased to present debut novelist Ramona Ausubel for a reading and signing of her beautiful and riveting novel No One Is Here Except All of Us. "Here is a world created out of the most curious and beautiful remnants of our own: opera, suitcases, letters, rivers, daughters, strangers, and shovels. Ramona Ausubel cracks open the very idea of a book and fills its shell with a thing glimmering, thrilling, and new." — Samantha Hunt, author of The Invention of Everything Else "A special work of the imagination, an original gift, dark and light, and Ramona Ausubel colors it all with a glowing wisdom." — Ron Carlson, author of Five Skies "A wise, compassionate book that even in its darkest turns uplifts." — Christine Schutt, National Book Award finalist for Florida and Pulitzer Prize finalist for All Souls "Ausubel has written a riveting, otherworldly story about an all-too-real war and the transformative power of community." — Library Journal Ramona Ausubel grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She holds an MFA from the University of California, Irvine where she won the Glenn Schaeffer Award in Fiction and served as editor of Faultline Journal of Art & Literature. Her work has been published in The New Yorker, One Story, The Paris Review Daily, and Best American Fantasy. Her work has also received special mentions in Best American Short Stories and Best American Nonrequired Reading. Ausubel was also a finalist for the Pushcart Prize. She lives in Santa Barbara, California. Photo of the author by Twin Lens Images. THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS FEBRUARY 10, 2012.
