Can you see the shape of your soul in the everchanging clouds? Your personal salvation in the giant expanse of sky? For the ensemble cast of characters that make up the prairie community at the heart of The Mighty Red, existential questions are constantly close to the surface. In her newest novel, author Louise Erdrich immerses readers in the Red River Valley of the North and the complicated lives of its inhabitants. Argus, North Dakota is a town framed by the 2008 economic crisis, the consequences of climate change, and the dynamics of small-town drama. Thrown into motion by a chaotic teen love triangle and fretting about the future, Erdrich's characters navigate impulsive choices, bitter secrets, and deeply rooted ties to their land and to each other. The Red River Valley is home to dark realities and glimmering hopes, twisting together like winding late-night drives along dimly lit roads. As resources dwindle and viewpoints shift, love and life lurch forward in splendor, catastrophe, and absurdity. Bonds in the community are born and bolstered, disturbed and questioned, broken and mended. Laced with tender humor and humanity in the midst of devastating environmental circumstances, The Mighty Red paints a layered landscape of ordinary people surviving fraught times. Louise Erdrich is an award-winning Native American author and poet whose writing spans novels, short stories, non-fiction, and children's books. Her previously published works include The Plague of Doves, The Round House, and The Night Watchman. She is an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and the owner of the Native-focused independent teaching bookstore Birchbark Books in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Karen Russell is the author of five books of fiction, including The New York Times bestsellers Swamplandia! and Vampires in the Lemon Grove.

Ann Shea was a former a Chemical Engineer working in the process automation industry when it was during the pandemic that she felt a shift in her career and saw that Mill Street Books in Almonte was for sale - and so she jumped on the opportunity, with ownership being transferred to her in just a matter of days. Ann had no regrets taking this leap, even with no business background or working in a bookstore or library setting - but she did have some great mentors in her life, being the former bookstore owners, Terry and Mary, as well as her cousin, Sylvie Neville (the babe behind Pick it Fence Renfrew!) who helped guide her along the way.

One ill-timed corrupted audio file, and CONGRATULATIONS! We are rebroadcasting this great earlier episode: Chris talks with Alpine-based author J.J. Rusz about his ongoing series of "Big Bend Country Mysteries" and with Front Street Books manager Julie Green about Alpine's excellent downtown independent bookstore.

We're joined in conversation with the philosopher, youth organizer, and innovative educator Theodore Richards at the legendary destination bookstore 57th Street Books in Hyde Park, Chicago. He and I have shared the mic at half a dozen book talks over the years, and today our focus is on his latest book, Reimagining the Classroom: Creating New Learning Spaces and Connecting with the World, an inspirational text as well as a practical guide with a wealth of down-to-earth ideas for teachers and parents. Theodore Richards provides a framework for youth to see themselves as valuable people as well as people of values, people who can be creators, not consumers, and makers rather than victims of history.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Mary Callopy Mollman, owner of Madison Street Books in Chicago's West Loop, about small publishers and imprints, sites to see in Chicago, what to consider when opening an indie bookshop, and books!Madison Street Books is an independent bookshop in Chicago's West Loop owned by Mary Collopy Mollman. Its focus and vision are to be a community-minded space with something in store for everyone. Madison Street BooksShoreline Boat Cruises The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Taylor Jenkins Reid The Silent Patient, Alex Michaelides Colleen Hoover Books The Door, Magda Szabo Madison Street Books on Tik Tok The Bookshop Podcast on TikTok American Writers MuseumSupport the show

Welcome to Chapter 14 of the Okie Bookcast! April Read Oklahoma Challenge category - Read a Sequoyah Award winner from any yearMy guest is Onikah Asamoa-Ceasar, book lover and founder of Fulton Street Books and Coffee in Tulsa, OK. Fulton Street is a bookshop on a mission to increase intergenerational literacy and build better community by focusing on conversations and keeping people at the center of everything they do. The store carries a wide selection of fiction and nonfiction and  they also offer a drink menu that has something for everyone. Fulton Street is a passion project for Onikah who describes herself  as “Mom to Hadassah, enneagram 8, lover of history, daughter of the middle passage”. In our conversation we talk about the store and books, but we also talk about literacy, community, representation, book deserts, and all of the many ways Fulton Street is living out its mission in Tulsa.You can connect with Fulton Street at their website - fultonstreet918.com or on social media @fultonstreet918. Our review is by Tulsa emerging author Jace Hyman. Jace says She knows far too many things about video games, movies, and anime and wants desperately to tell stories like the ones that inspire her. Her favorite genres are sci-fi, cyberpunk, and horror, with an emphasis on stories that include trans representation. In fact those are the types of characters she wants to bring to the fore with her own writing. When not writing, she can be found over-analyzing her favorite (or least favorite) stories and petting her cat Eliza. Jace is reviewing Skullduggery Pleasant by Derek Landry.Mentioned on the show:Americanah - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie1921 Commemorative BoxBlack Wall Street TimesAlex TamahnLittle and Lit subscription boxesBlack History Collection - Tyler LockettSyllabus Book ClubThe 1619 Project: A New Origin Story - Nikole Hannah-JonesHow the Word Is Passed - Clint SmithOctavia ButlerAudre LordeCooking with Chef Tiff - Tiffany Tisdale-BraxtonThe Victory of Greenwood - Carlos MorenoA Kids Book about the Tulsa Race Massacre - Carlos MorenoLittle Man - Brian A.

Onikah Asamoa-Caesar's childhood dream of opening a bookstore became a reality when she opened Fulton Street Books and Coffee a little over a year ago. Fulton Street is purposely tucked inside a neighborhood making it conducive for building community and developing relationships. Its focus includes a strong mission and overall look at representation through diversity while also focusing on building literacy across generations. Fulton Street centers around the stories, narratives and lived experiences of Black people, People of Color, and marginalized communities.

We’re back to a more recent book that taught Sarah about contemporary romance, Victoria Dahl’s Taking the Heat. Use headphones for this one, because we’re talking about the best BJs in romance, the power of a great sex scene, and how we want you all to be in a sex pantheon.

Former Chicago Bear and NFL Pro Bowl tight end Martellus Bennett made time to talk to Weareregalradio.com Editorial Director Kyle Means Monday during his whirlwind media tour of the city to promote his new children's book "Dear Black Boy." In this audio recorded from 57th Street Books in Hyde Park, Bennett talks about returning to the Chi and the culture of creativity and blackness here, a type of vibe that he has reveled in while promoting his book, which he did here with local blogger and influencer Jenny "Mama Fresh" LeFlore. In spite of the directness of the title, the book and its author have a lot to say to all kids about resisting boundaries and restrictions society places on us. But definitely this book, written in the wake of the violent summer of 2016 where Philando Castile and Alton Sterling were each murdered by police, is designed to help black boys value their creativity and make them feel more welcome to actively change the often hostile world that surrounds them.

This podcast from WNYC is about pop culture in the #MeToo era.- The list of RITA award winners, sorted by year.- A million articles have been written about Twilight, but I like this one that looks at the big themes that bubble up time and time again.- Alisha Rai has said lots of smart things about toxic masculinity, as it turns out.- Representation in BDSM matters.- Take a crash course in modernity.- A brief overview of Cassandra from Greek mythology.- The Devil in Winter, because everyone loves to read about a sex deal.- According to The Smart Bitches, a magic hoo-hah is "shorthand for the equally illustrious and many powers of the female sex organ, specifically the vagina. The Magic Hoo-Hoo tames the Mighty Wang, and becomes the magnetized true north for the hero’s trouser compass from the point of their first sexual coupling. The Magic Hoo-Hoo brings the hero to monogamous attachment, because after experiencing it, the hero will not be satisfied with anything or anyone else."- I'm sure everyone wants to learn more about moon phases.- Fury is an actual furie.- When we say Lothaire was a big deal, we mean there was an actual Lothaire bus touring around America.- Are you ready for No Rest for the Wicked?

Just before the fantastic Epic Reads Meet-Up this past September at 57th Street Books, we sat down with celebrated YA author Kristen Ciccarelli and our own (National Book Award finalist) Franny Billingsley, who mentored Kristen through the completion of her first novel, The Last Namsara. And it was their first time meeting face-to-face! From why fantasy is an empowering genre to where writers choose to work (hint: bookstores are always close at hand), you can listen in on the conversation right here. Stop by to pick up a signed copy of Ciccarelli's newest book, The Caged Queen, and receive a free Epic Reads tote bag (while supplies last)!

This week Tom and I welcomed Jeff Waxman of University of Chicago Press and 57th Street Books to the podcast to talk about different approaches to marketing different "types" of translations, such as contemporary translations vs. classic works vs. new translations vs. reprints vs. . . . It's an interesting conversation (isn't it always?) with the conversation ranging from the influence of reviews, to best practices for publishers to engage with booksellers. And it ends with a stunning rendition of the "Bookselling" section of The Way it Wasn't by New Directions founder James Laughlin. (It's worth listening to the podcast just to get to this.)
