Nick has six novels and a collection of short stories under his belt, but A Forty Year Kiss may be his first love story.  His mind was set to wondering after he overheard a passionate conversation in his favorite local bar between two older people, a conversation that made him blush just a little. He began playing with the idea of what this couple's back story was. Nick's book asks readers to consider the difference between first love and love between mature adults, how life's baggage affects personal relationships, and whether people can really change.    Nick also talks to us about his rural Wisconsin roots, why he read Babysitter Club books in his childhood, and the debate on whether he should wear a cape.     For our book recommendation section of this episode, we decided to find some of our favorite books we've read as a result of being in a book club together for two decades. For the most part, our book club chooses novels, but there is one memoir in the lot, as well as contemporary fiction, historical fiction, sci-fi, and a classic.    Books Discussed in this Episode:   1- A Forty Year Kiss by Nickolas Butler   2- Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler   3- A Paris Year by Janice MacLeod   4- Godspeed by Nickolas Butler    5- Love, Hope & Carnage by Nick Cave and Sean O'Hagan   6- The Fertile Earth and the Ordered Cosmos edited by M.

Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year. Taylor Swift loves to make direct and indirect references to the classic American novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. So we decided to dive into those connections and see what all the fuss is about. In this week's episode, we each picked a song that we wanted to relate to The Great Gatsby. Join us as Maansi brings the party with “This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things,” Jenn explores Gatsby's motivations with “Death by a Thousand Cuts,” and Jodi brings it all together by digging into the character of Daisy with “happiness.”  Mentioned in this episode:  “This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things” reputation  “Death by a Thousand Cuts” Lover  “happiness” evermore "The Great Gatsby" by F.

My review of Therese Anne Fowler's book, "Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald."Music © by Capazunda.

In this episode, hosts August and Kendra discuss Fitzgerald’s famous novel, The Great Gatsby. This is one of August’s favorite books, but Kendra isn’t as wild about it, so there is definitely a healthy dose of both raving (August) and ranting (Kendra). This episode is also full of spoilers—so please only listen if you are okay with knowing everything that happens in this book. Books Mentioned in the Episode: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (1925) 84 Charring Cross Road by Helene Hanff (1970) Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers (2021) Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler (2013)

Therese Anne Fowler is a perennial favorite among historical fiction readers. She is perhaps best known for Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald (2014). Z showcases the incredible life and […]

Georgia’s grandparents’ decision to put the past behind them and not talk about their experience in the war. Georgia’s family’s reaction to having huge gaps in their personal histories filled through her research.  Georgia is beginning work on a sophomore novel! What it’s like to blurb another author’s book (and her approach to writing blurbs). An All the Light We Cannot See read-alike. Georgia’s book she didn’t love is one I recommended!

Doctorow Quote: "Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way." Article about author Daniel Mason in New York Times Magazine: If This Book Is Not Expressing Everything, What Am I Doing With My Life? About Georgia Hunter Author Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved to write. I penned my first “novel” when I was four years old, and titled itCharlie Walks the Beast after my father’s recently published sci-fi novel, Softly Walks the Beast. When I was eleven, I pitched an article—an Opinion piece on how I’d spend my last day if the world were about to come to an end—to the local newspaper. Since that debut in the Attleboro Sun Chronicle, my personal essays and photos have been featured in places like the New York Times “Why We Travel,” in travelgirl magazine, and on Equitrekking.com. I’ve also taken on the role of freelance copywriter in the world of adventure travel, crafting marketing materials for outfitters such as Austin Adventures and The Explorer’s Passage. In 2000, a family reunion opened my eyes to the astounding war stories of my grandfather and his family. Eight years later, armed with a digital voice recorder and a moleskin notebook, I set off to unearth and record my family’s story. I spent nearly a decade traversing the globe, interviewing family and digging up records from every possible source I could think of, eventually piecing together the bones of what would become my novel, We Were the Lucky Ones.   Support the Podcast ShareIf you like the podcast, I’d love for you to share it with your reader friends…in real life and on social media.

Some of the titles bestowed upon Zelda Fitzgerald: socialite, flapper, author, crazy wife of Scott Fitzgerald.  This week, we pick apart some of those titles as we delve into the life of Zelda. Our main source is Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler. The book is a fictionalized account of Zelda's life based on extensive research of her books, letters and other known facts about her.

Hi listeners! We hope you’ve enjoyed the first 6 months of podcasts with us “In the Margins.” We’ve had some inspiring conversations with editors like Jeff Shotts from Graywolf Press, Crystal Simone Smith of Backbone Press, and Kevin Larimer, editor in chief of Poets & Writers Magazine. We’ve learned what it takes to get into a prestigious program like NC State’s Masters of Fine Arts in Creative writing from professors in poetry and fiction, Dorianne Laux and John Kessel. We’ve spoken with several poets and writers about their work, including breaking news about Therese Anne Fowler’s bestseller Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald and its adaptation into an Amazon TV series. We’re so glad you’ve listened along with us, and we hope you will continue to share in our conversations as we forward with the show. In fact, we’d like to bring to you an exciting endeavor that Tate Street has been working on diligently for the past several months. As part of our monthly episodes, we are thrilled to be airing documentaries from our work with the Favorite Poem Project. For many of you, this might sound familiar. In Episode 6: Tate Street goes to AWP, we unveil the project, and then in Episode 9, we showcase Hayan Charara reading “Out, Out—“ by Robert Frost. These short, comfortable bursts of poetry are complemented by the reader’s personal connection to the poem. Some readers talk about the honesty of fear in parenthood, the watershed moment in which one realized that they could be a poet, the search for love across distance and boundaries of culture or space—these stories all take place in the Favorite Poem Project Documentaries that we will bring to you on “In the Margins.” Don’t worry, our in-depth interviews will alternate with our FPP segments. Most of all, though, we are happy to be able to share a broad range of voices, experiences, and viewpoints through this partnership. We invite you to gather and share this podcast with your fellow writers, family, and friends.

Derron and his wife, Dr. Leanne Lee, were high-school sweethearts long before they went to college and became optometrists. Their practices, Midtown Optometry in Stockton and Manteca Optometry in Manteca, strive to bring the best in eye-care and customer service to their patients. As a Stockton native, Derron strives to be "loyal to the soil" as can be seen in his charity work. Derron started a "White Goldrush" campaign to collect donations of new socks and undergarments for St. Mary's Dining Hall. He also started the Comeback Scholarship program to offer scholarships to local area high school students that pledge to return to the area once they've finished college. To help fund his charitible ventures, Derron has joined Ambit Energy, a retail electricity and natural gas provider.
