Bestselling author Kiley Reid delves into her favourite books with Vick and discusses motherhood, morals and money. Kiley's debut novel Such A Fun Age was an instant hit making the New York Times Best Seller list, and probably more excitingly, Reece Witherspoon's book club reading list.   Despite this success, in her 20s Kiley had always thought of writing as just a hobby turning to other jobs such as nannying and sales. It wasn't until she was accepted onto the Iowa's Writers' Workshop that she began to give her writing her full attention. It was here she discovered how uncomfortable writing about money made other people feel, a topic that comes up in both Such a Fun Age and her new book Come and Get It. Come and Get It is out now in hardback and follows the lives of three women on a college campus and discusses topics such as class, race, age and money. Her writing has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Playboy, The Guardian, and others. In addition to writing Kiley teaches at the University of Michigan. Kiley's book choices are: ** The Factory by Hiroko Oyamada ** The Walmart Book of the Dead by Lucy Biederman ** The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison ** Either/Or by Elif Bautman ** Sleepy Time by Gyo Fujikawa  Vick Hope, multi-award winning TV and BBC Radio 1 presenter, author and journalist, is the host of season seven of the Women's Prize for Fiction Podcast. Every week, Vick will be joined by another inspirational woman to discuss the work of incredible female authors. The Women's Prize is one of the most prestigious literary awards in the world, and they continue to champion the very best books written by women. Don't want to miss the rest of season six?

“I don't write fiction to preach my politics,” says Kiley Reid - an American author whose debut novel “Such a Fun Age” was longlisted for the 2020 Booker prize. The book gained recognition for its themes on race, privilege, and social dynamics in modern America. Fast forward to 2024, and Reid's second novel, “Come and Get It” delves even further into the heart of societal complexities. It's based in a US campus and centred around money and wealth - who has it and who wants it - and the impact it has, on even the most personal of relationships.  In this episode of Ways to Change the World, Krishnan Guru-Murthy speaks to Kiley Reid about the importance of finding stability whilst being a writer, the impact of having a theatre background on her writing, and her thoughts on being social media savvy as an author.  

Kiley Reid (author of the Booker longlisted novel, Such A Fun Age) joins Simon and Matt for a Q&A. They talk about her favourite writers, deadlines, how she orders her books...and who she'd invite to her fantasy dinner party. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Former government minister Tracey Crouch has joined the list of MPs who've said they won't be standing at the next general election. She won the former Labour seat of Chatham and Aylesford in 2010 and has turned it into a healthy majority of more than 18,000 for the Conservatives. A self confessed 'sports nut', in 2015 she attained her dream job as sports minister and oversaw the government's football governance review. In 2018 she resigned in protest at the government's 'unjustifiable' refusal to speed up plans to curb controversial fixed odds betting terminals. Four years ago as the pandemic hit, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and following treatment went on to raise £153,000 for cancer charities. She joins Emma Barnett to talk about her decision to leave politics and her plans for the future. Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny who was announced dead in a Russian prison last week, has directly accused the Kremlin of poisoning and killing him and has vowed to continue his fight to change Russia. Someone who has been following this story intently is Marina Litvinenko, the widow of Alexander Litvinenko, who exposed corruption in Russia and died in a London hospital in 2006 after ingesting tea which contained radioactive polonium. The European Court of Human Rights found Russia was responsible for the killing of Mr Litvinenko in 2021. Marina joins Emma.Can you have a true friendship or relationship if one of you has more money than the other? Novelist Kiley Reid dominated bestseller lists with her debut, Such A Fun Age, which skewered white liberal guilt. Her new book, Come And Get It, returns to themes of race, class, and above all money. Set on a campus in southern America, it follows students and academics whose behaviour is shaped by money. Kiley joins Emma in studio.Women get more gain from exercise than men. That's the suggestion of a new study of 400,000 people. 140 minutes of moderate exercise a week reduced women's risk of premature death from any cause by 18% compared with being inactive. Men needed 300 minutes of exercise for a similar gain. Joining Emma to discuss is Baz Moffat, former Team GB rower and co-founder of The Well, an organisation that works to challenge the status quo for women in health, fitness and sport.

Ein Notfall wird zur Falle: Eine junge Frau wird von den Eltern, zu denen sie dreimal die Woche nachmittags zum Babysitten kommt, spät am Abend auf einer Party angerufen, um sich während eines Polizeibesuchs um die Zweijährige zu kümmern. Nicht zu Hause, sondern im Supermarkt drei Straßen weiter, der nach elf Uhr nachts noch geöffnet ist. Dort wird ein Wachmann auf die junge Frau mit dunkler Haut und die Kleine mit der hellen Haut auf ihrem Arm aufmerksam. Verdacht: Kindesentführung. Kiley Reids Debütroman „Such a Fun Age“ erzählt spitz, temporeich und witzig von den Verwicklungen, die sich aus diesem Zwischenfall ergeben oder durch ihn weiter verdichten. Wir haben mit unserer Kollegin Johanna Christner über das Buch und eigene Erfahrungen mit Alltagsrassimus gesprochen. Drei Fragen über das Schreiben und Lesen an die Schriftstellerin Shida Bazyar, deren Roman „Drei Kameradinnen“ gerade erschienen ist, beschließen diese Folge des Bücher-Podcasts. „Such a Fun Age“ von Kiley Reid wurde von Corinna Vierkant übersetzt und ist im Ullstein-Verlag erschienen, hat 352 Seiten und kostet 22 Euro. „Drei Kameradinnen“ von Shida Bazyar ist bei Kiepenheuer & Witsch erschienen, hat ebenfalls 352 Seiten und kostet auch 22 Euro.

In this week's show we discuss what Twitter's failure to suspend Wiley says about our failure to combat anti-semitism (and what you can do to help), the graphic and glorious podcast of the year, Brown Girls Do It Too, Kiley Reid's incisive and compulsively readable novel Such A Fun Age and an author special with the inspiring and thought-provoking columnist and author of We Need New Stories, Nesrine Malik about why we must resist cultural myths. Plus, some newsletters to subscribe to right now, and an Ask The High Low question about dating after cancer. We'll be back in early September!

Stef + Jules are reunited (and it feels so good!), and there's no better way to celebrate this taste of normalcy than by chatting about how our lives have changed as a result of… well, 2020. Being forced to take a break and hit the reset button on your life is a good way to find a little perspective on the things that really matter and the things that really just don't matter much at all. But we've come to the realization that there isn't some magical point where we'll “get back to normal” after all of this. There's just moving forward — hopefully, better equipped than when this crazy year started. Come hang out and learn more about us at http://thebabesment.com/ (thebabesment.com)!

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Kiley Reid, author of her debut novel Such A Fun Age, just published by Putnam. Kiley graduated from the Iowa Writers Workshop as have so many wonderful writers and where she had wonderful teachers like Paul Harding and Jess Walters. And I have been really happy to have interviewed both of them. (Tinkers, Beautiful Ruins) Such a Fun Age is her first novel. This book is an uneasy one. It makes us think really hard about the way things are and maybe the way things are going. It also reminds us quite starkly of the way things were. For me, an old white guy, it made me question my personality, my own truth and the way I think and the way I act. It’s much easier for a black person to experience this book, because what our characters encounter is what black readers encounter every day. That’s what makes this book so well written. The fact that it provides a perspective that we don’t often have a chance to experience. Like looking in a mirror and seeing who you really are. Generally there is who you think you are, who others think you are and who you are. But you don’t often get the chance to perceive yourself objectively. And this couldn’t have happened in this book unless Kiley was able, as she is, to capture the feelings that toddlers have, that young black women have and that affluent white people have on a daily basis, in their own dialects. Not easy. I loved it. But it made me nervous.
