Yellow Birds, the debut novel by Karen Green is set just before the digital revolution, Kait is a young woman searching for identity and community among the cast-outs, cast-offs, and other “misfit toys”  – groupies – who refer to themselves as the Yellow Birds and follow a band called the Open Road from town to town. Inspired by the Grateful Dead.   Just as Kait believes she has found her place among the groupies travelling together in a messy van, a young man with the eye-roll worthy name of Horizon sits beside her and alters her fragile plan for the foreseeable future.   Amidst the whirlwind of the groupie lifestyle,  their growing feelings soar to ecstatic heights, while propelling them toward an impending reckoning with their troubled pasts. Filled with sex, drugs, music, and even cults, readers won't be able to get enough of this bohemian love story, the groupie lifestyle, and the party within the party. Karen Green is a writer and author whose editorial and creative work is widely published. Her essays, fiction, and poetry have been featured in several anthologies, and she is the author of two books for very young readers. Karen worked in the music industry for more than a decade and wrote the popular blog, The Kids Are Alright.    Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Yellowface by Rebecca Kuang. Young, smart and extraordinarily prolific writer with some fantasy to her name and then the book Babel which has been very strong since published in September last year. This new one is very different - set in the world of publishing, there's a huge buzz around it internationally. It's about two writers, one of whom has made it and the other hasn't - so when the successful author suddenly dies, she steals her work in progress and presents it as her own - trouble is the original author was Asian and the story has Asian themes; and our thief is white. She changes her name to Juniper Song which is more ambiguous and shoots up to the top of the bestseller charts, all the while terrified she'll be found out. It is absolutely scathing about the publishing industry. I reckon HarperCollins only published it to make sure they keep getting all of her other books. It's very good.  A Line in the Sand by Kevin Powers. He wrote a book called The Yellow Birds several years ago - set in Iraq, he is himself a veteran of the Iraqi war. This one is about an Iraqi man who was working as an interpreter for the US in Baghdad, but after witnessing (and filming) a massacre carried out by an American Defense contracting team, he's taken to the US for safekeeping. One day he finds a body on the beach and clues quickly point to the dead man being on his trail, and his new life is suddenly threatened. The themes of the book are concerned with the privatisation of military functions - how Defense Contractors are signing squillion dollar contracts with the US government and then not being held to account. It's terrific - part mystery and part thriller.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In order to help us process the horror being inflicted on Ukraine, and the courage exhibited by its people and president, I have reached out to Kevin Powers.   Powers, author of the highly acclaimed war novel, The Yellow Birds, is a veteran of the Iraq War, who has used his powers of prose and poetry to help us feel what is almost beyond our imagination. In this conversation, through his personal stories and reflections, I think he helps inspire us to live a more meaningful, impactful life in a world in which extraordinary suffering and extraordinary selflessness coexist.

Scott Huesing was live with the Protectors Book Club on July 12th. We discussed Scott's critically acclaimed book ECHO IN RAMADI.About Scott: Scott A. Huesing is a retired USMC Infantry Major with over 24 years of service, both enlisted and as a commissioned officer.  His career spanned 10 deployments and he conducted operations in over 60 countries worldwide.  During his numerous deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa he planned, led, and conducted hundreds of combat missions under some of the most austere and challenging conditions.The Book: From the winter of 2006 through the spring of 2007, two-hundred-fifty Marines from Echo Company, Second Battalion, Fourth Marine Regiment fought daily in the dangerous, dense city streets of Ramadi, Iraq during the Multi-National Forces Surge ordered by President George W. Bush. The Marines' mission: to kill or capture anti-Iraqi forces. Their experience: like being in Hell.Now Major Scott A. Huesing, the commander who led Echo Company through Ramadi, takes readers back to the streets of Ramadi in a visceral, gripping portrayal of modern urban combat. Bound together by brotherhood, honor, and the horror they faced, Echo's Marines battled day-to-day on the frontline of a totally different kind of war, without rules, built on chaos. In Echo in Ramadi, Huesing brings these resilient, resolute young men to life and shows how the savagery of urban combat left indelible scars on their bodies, psyches, and souls. Like war classics We Were Soldiers, The Yellow Birds, and Generation Kill, Echo in Ramadi is an unforgettable capsule of one company's experience of war that will leave readers stunned.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/theprotectors)

Get ready for heartbreak on this stop of the #JenJourney. The 2017 film The Yellow Birds really makes you think about the effects of war, especially on veterans and their families. One of Jennifer Aniston's deeper films, she portrays a lot of emotion in a short time on screen. Be prepared with some tissues - when she cries, you will cry. The plot is slow, but engaging, and may leave you with questions at the end. Still worth a watch to see Jen nail another dramatic role!

Silkroad In a Landscape by John Cage Waves of Rush by Aidan O'Rourke, arr. Maeve Gilchrist Together Alone by Kaoru Watanabe The International Day of Peace ("Peace Day") is observed around the world each year on the 21st of September. Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace. To learn more about International Day of Peace, visit internationaldayofpeace.org. About Silkroad Ensemble: Silkroad creates music that engages difference, sparking radical cultural collaboration and passion-driven learning to build a more hopeful world. Yo-Yo Ma conceived Silkroad in 1998 as a reminder that even as rapid globalization resulted in division, it brought extraordinary possibilities for working together. Seeking to understand this dynamic, he began to learn about the historical Silk Road, recognizing in it a model for productive cultural collaboration, for the exchange of ideas and tradition alongside commerce and innovation. And in a radical experiment, he brought together musicians from the lands of the Silk Road to co-create a new artistic idiom, a musical language founded in difference, a metaphor for the benefits of a more connected world. Today, these Grammy Award-winning artists seek and practice radical cultural collaboration in many forms, creating and presenting new music, teacher and musician training workshops, and residency programs in schools, museums, and communities. Silkroad has recorded seven albums. Sing Me Home, which won the 2016 Grammy for Best World Music Album was developed and recorded alongside the documentary feature The Music of Strangers, from Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville.

Yellow Birds stars Alden Ehrenreich and Tye Sheridan as Brandon Bartle and Daniel Murphy, two young men whose bond is strengthened by their tour overseas in Iraq. But as often happens in war, tragedy strikes, and we then watch as Bartle leads us to the pieces of a looming mystery as to what exactly happened overseas. The film also stars Jennifer Anniston and Toni Collette.

While the regular box office brought us more dreck in Gold and A Dog’s Purpose, Sundance delivered some good films to compensate. Gold is boring and long and predictable. There’s no excuse. Also no excuse for animal cruelty in A Dog’s Purpose, but if you can get over that and don’t mind emotional manipulation, it’s barely mediocre. XX lets the ladies … Continue reading 88 – A Gold’s Purpose Yellow Birds Sundance II →

From the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, we speak of movies called "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore," "Person to Person," "Landline," and "The Yellow Birds," and restaurants called Burger King.

This week, we chat with Line Producer Shea Kammer, who has not one, but three films coming to the Sundance Film Festival this week, out of the sixteen in contention! The first of the three in competition is The Yellow Birds, starring Alden Ehrenreich (Hail, Caesar!, Young Han Solo) and Tye Sheridan (X-Men, Ready Player One), about two young soldiers, navigating the terrors of the Iraq war under the command of the older, troubled Sergeant Sterling (Jack Huston - Boardwalk Empire, American Hustle). Also stars Jennifer Aniston, Toni Collette and Jason Patric. The second is To the Bone, which is the feature directorial debut of the brilliant Marti Noxon (Buffy, Angel, UnREAL, Mad Men, Glee... and many more!)

Sometimes the reality of war is just too complex and absurd to be understood in real time.  Perhaps that why books about war are so powerful and important.  That’s why novels like  Catch 22, Slaughterhouse 5, The Things they Carried, A Rumor of War, and The Yellow Birds, have been essential for our understating.Equally important to our understand is grasping the impact of PTSD on those who served or who, for whatever reasons, journeyed into the heart of darkness that is combat.  While embedded with troops in Iraq, journalist David Morris almost died when a Humvee he was riding in encountered an IED. His book, explores his own trauma from that event, as well as the history and science of post-traumatic stress disorder.The Evil Hours: A Biography of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. My conversation with David J. Morris:

“In this powerful novel of the Iraq war, beautiful and poetic language is juxtaposed with brutal devastation. Terrified young American soldiers trying not to die and searching for something to live for, give voice to the loss and anguish of war. Told in short chapters alternating between the war and its aftermath, this is the story of the bonds of young men thrown together in crisis who remain a part of each other's lives for the duration of their own. Short, raw and visceral, this is one that stays with you.” Brown University Bookstore (Providence, RI) The Avid Reader Show is sponsored by Wellington Square Bookshop in Exton, PA. www.wellingtonsquarebooks.com

With Kirsty Lang. Charles Sturridge, the director of the landmark TV series Brideshead Revisited, discusses his latest project, a TV adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's The Scapegoat, a tale of two identical looking men who swap lives. He also reflects on how television drama has changed since the days of Brideshead. Iraq war veteran Kevin Powers has drawn on his own experiences in his novel The Yellow Birds, the story of a young recruit sent to Iraq's Nineveh Province in 2004, and his struggle to adapt to civilian life on his return. Kevin reveals the frequently asked question that was the starting point for the book. Not since the invention of sound cinema have silent movies been so popular, partly due to the unexpected Oscar success of The Artist. This week sees two new films which pay homage to the silent era - Tabu, which has no dialogue in its last half hour and takes its name from a famous F W Murnau drama, and a Spanish adaptation of Snow White which looks like it's been made in the 1920s and not the 21st century. Historian Matthew Sweet and silent film accompanist and composer Neil Brand explain why we've learned to stop worrying and love silent cinema The Art of Chess is a new exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery which brings together 16 chess sets designed by some of the world's leading contemporary artists, including Jake and Dinos Chapman, Rachel Whiteread, Damien Hirst and Tim Noble and Sue Webster.
