La genesi di questo film, pluripremiato e diretto da Spike Jonze, potrebbe sembrare quasi uno scherzo da Pesce d'aprile. Lo sceneggiatore Charlie Kaufman avrebbe dovuto scrivere il copione di un film tratto dal saggio “Il ladro di orchidee” di Susan Orlean, ma, nel tentativo di farlo, si trovò in crisi. Così, la sceneggiatura divenne la sua stessa storia: quella di due sceneggiatori gemelli alle prese con il difficile adattamento cinematografico del romanzo. Un film con Nicolas Cage.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To send us a message go to our website and click the Contact button.   You can find Katherine Marsh at her website www.katherinemarsh.com or on IG at @katherinemarshauthor.   This week we chat with Katherine Marsh, author of The Lost Year, a finalist for the 2023 National Book Award for Young People's Literature. I recently discovered this book after one of our book club members selected another Katherine Marsh book, Nowhere Boy, for our August read. The Lost Year is middle-grade historical fiction and it is super timely because part of it is set in Ukraine in the 1930s. The story introduced me to a topic in Ukraine history I knew nothing about called the Holodomor. Katherine tells us all about her novel which was inspired by her relationship with her grandmother who was from Ukraine. It is a perfect book selection if you are curious about Ukrainian history that influences current events; reading this book would also allow you to check off having read something for Middle Grade March.    For our book recommendations in this episode, we're talking about books in which cats are a central part of the story. We have some nonfiction selections, as well as literary fiction and graphic novels that will definitely appeal to your inner cat. If you don't love cats, you can check out these books anyway for their compelling stories OR you can wait around for Amy to muscle Carrie into a future dog episode.    Books Mentioned in this Episode:   1- The Lost Year by Katherine Marsh   2- Nowhere Boy by Katherine Marsh   3- Medusa (The Myth of Monsters #1) by Katherine Marsh   4- The God's Revenge (The Myth of Monsters #2) by Katherine Marsh   5- The Fountain Overflows by Rebecca West   6- Leslie F***ing Jones by Leslie Jones   7- Bog Myrtle by Sid Sharp   8- The Wolf Suit by Sid Sharp   9- A 5 star Read recommended by fellow book lover Elaine Hoystead @bookmadlibrarian - Hall of Smoke by Hannah M.

We open with royalty-free trailer music...   Billy is back writing another description for an episode of a podcast; this one is about Susan Orlean's book The Orchid Thief and its 2002 adaptation Adaptation. He's trying to figure out some jokes to add to the description but he has writer's block, so he's handing the keyboard off to his twin brother Hank. Listen to the podcast or whatever to find out if someone shoots someone, and there's dirty language, and maybe even a romance angle? Enjoy!   linktr.ee/soonmajorpod

The Shhh! Crew is visiting the world of true crime with the discussion of The Library Book by Susan Orlean and Andrea tries to stump the ladies with a true crime quiz. Get into stealth mode and join us for a riveting true crime journey! 

In her book “The Orchid Thief” about obsessive flower hunting, Susan Orlean wonders if “the reason it matters to care passionately about something is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size.”Twin Cities broadcasting legend Diana Pierce knows something about that. After retiring from her role in front of the camera as a KARE 11 news anchor, Pierce started a new endeavor: traveling around the country to capture stunning landscape photographs. She eventually narrowed her focus to flowers. Now she's writing a newsletter, called Blooming, with stories about flowers and people who tend to them. Diana Pierce joined Minnesota Now to talk about her project.

I got an email from longtime 3 Booker Bo Boswell who told me he found an enticingly-titled thread on reddit called “What's your field or study (hobbyist or professional) and what's a cornerstone beginners book for that topic/field?”     The most upvoted reply on the thread read: "Librarian here, Susan Orlean's ‘The Library Book' is at first glance a true-crime book about tracking the arsonist who set fire and burned down the main library in Los Angeles, but it also gives a comprehensive glimpse into contemporary libraries and their issues, especially updating a view of them if you haven't been inside one since you were a kid."   Bo picked up the book, loved it, and then wrote to me that "the amount of research and bizarre detail Orlean puts into her work is so engrossing.” Bizarre detail! I was convinced. I picked up ‘The Library Book' and it blew me away. Reading it was like … wandering a library. Surprising curiosity trails at every turn. I ended up putting the book in my Best Of 2023 and then went deeper into Susan Orlean's back catalog where I found myself reading profiles like ‘The American Man, Age 10' and a series of fascinating but unconventional obituaries about people like the inventor of Hawaiian Tropic or the first magician on the Las Vegas strip.   I've come to think of Susan Orlean as one of the best non-fiction writers on the planet. She's been a Staff Writer for ‘The New Yorker' since 1992 and has written more than 10 bestselling books including ‘The Library Book', ‘On Animals', ‘Saturday Night', and ‘The Orchid Thief', which was turned into the movie ‘Adaptation', starring Meryl Streep in her Oscar-nominated role as … yes, Susan Orlean.   Susan has an endless, unbridled curiosity — that ‘bizarre detail' — which you'll see on full display in this conversation which begins by talking about how she organizes her shoes! She's a writer's writer who offers us a  true masterclass and always reminds us that “storytelling and knowledge-sharing is the essential human experience.”   We talk about organizing shoes and spices, what books do that nothing else does, finding the balance between professional and amateur, the genius of container ships, what great book design does, how to cultivate your writing voice, how you might organize your book, facing the fear of failure, LSD, the power of libraries, Susan's 3 most formative books, and much, much more…     I am so excited to share this conversation and hope you'll find it as endlessly inspiring, thoughtful as I did.   Let's jump into Chapter 134 of 3 Books now…

In this episode, discover the heartfelt journey from a New York Times article to the silver screen with "Little Wing," a Paramount Plus film that captures the essence of home and belonging.

She grew up on the beach, thrives in humidity, has weathered more hurricanes than she can count, and now, after going viral for an outrageous crime she never meant to commit in the first place, she has the requisite headline to her name. But when the chance comes for her to escape viral infamy and imminent jail time by taking a community service placement at Atlas, a shelter for rescued monkeys, it seems like just the fresh start Jamie needs to finally get her life back on track — until it's not. Something sinister stirs in the palmetto woods surrounding her cabin, and secrets lurk among the three beguiling women who run the shelter and affectionately take Jamie under their wing for the summer.

Susan Orlean is one of the coolest and best writers we have going in the whole world. This is simply a fact. Why, she wrote The Orchid Thief and The Library Book and Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend. Meryl Streep played Susan, or a version of Susan, in the movie Adaptation, which is certainly not a thing that happens to most of us. With all her credits, you might think Susan Orlean would have someone to organize her life FOR her. Not so. She is, herself, a passionate organizer and she can - and does here - talk about it for great long stretches. Listen in (and drift off) as she advises against falling down the infamous clown toy rabbit hole.

This week: a non-fiction book that sometimes reads a lot like fiction, The Orchid Thief is only a little about the titular thief and a LOT about Florida and its history and its denizens. Plus, "orchidelirium," the part of the 19th century where the English aristocracy would just go wild for these bad boys. Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.

With the Food Network program “Barefoot Contessa,” Ina Garten became a beloved household name. Although she is a gregarious teacher and presence on television, Garten prefers to do her actual cooking alone. “Cooking's hard for me. I mean, I do it a lot, but it's really hard and I just love having the space to concentrate on what I''m doing, so I make sure it comes out well.” Garten joins David Remnick to reflect on her early days in the kitchen, and to answer listener questions about holiday meals and more. Her latest book is “Go-To Dinners.” Plus, Susan Orlean joins with an installment from her column “Afterword.” She writes about the life of a Texas man who founded a rattlesnake handling business. He liked providing a service for his neighbors, and for whatever reason, he just loved rattlesnakes—a passion that proved fatal.

In the lead-up to this year's midterm elections, many pundits expected Republicans to make significant gains among Latino voters, further eroding a base of support that Democrats have arguably taken for granted for decades. “What happened instead, as you know, is a more complicated story,” the contributing writer Stephania Taladrid says, one that both parties will be examining closely as 2024 approaches. Taladrid speaks with two political consultants, Chuck Rocha and Mike Madrid, to unpack the results. Rocha and Madrid co-host “The Latino Vote” podcast. Rocha, a Democrat, was a senior adviser to Bernie Sanders and Madrid, a Republican, was a founding member of the Lincoln Project.  And Susan Orlean reads from one of her Afterword columns, about the long and fecund life of a tiger mother. “Unlike most tiger mothers,” she writes, “Collarwali was, in fact, a tiger.”
