Nayantara Roy | The Magnificent Ruins
🎙 Nayatara Roy – The Magnificent Ruins In this episode of Read Between the Lines, Molly Southgate sits down with debut author Nayantara Roy to discuss her sweeping and powerful new novel, The Magnificent Ruins. 📖 About the Book – The Magnificent Ruins It is the summer of 2015, and Lila De is on the verge of a breakthrough in her career at a prestigious New York publishing house. But when she gets a call from her mother in India, informing her that she’s inherited her family’s sprawling estate, she must confront the legacy of an extended family that she thought she left behind sixteen years ago. Returning to Kolkata reunites Lila with her mother after a decade of estrangement, and then there are her grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins, all of whom still live in the house, all of whom resent her sudden inheritance. To make matters more complicated, her first boyfriend seeks her out when she arrives, and her star author—and occasional lover—is suddenly determined to make things serious. As Lila tries to come to terms with both past and present, long-suppressed secrets from her family emerge, culminating in an act of shocking violence, and she must finally reckon with her inherited custom of keeping everything under the surface. 🔗 Links & Resources Purchase The Magnificent Ruins at Bookshop.org: ✍️ About Nayatara Roy Nayantara Roy was born in Kolkata and lives in Los Angeles.

Sadie Hoagland | Circle of Animals
🎙 Sadie Hoagland – Circle of Animals In this episode of Read Between the Lines, Molly Southgate sits down with acclaimed author Sadie Hoagland to discuss her haunting and beautifully crafted new novel, Circle of Animals. 📖 About the Book – Circle of Animals When her hippie mother Edi goes missing the same week Sky Richard is assaulted at work--Sky wants to run away from everything. Instead, Sky goes looking for her mother and finds an estranged grandmother, the cult she was born in, and an unlikely ally. But the most important thing she discovers in her mother's past is the strength she needs to face her own life. Circle of Animals tells the story of a woman, Sky, grappling with a sexual assault in her workplace and the disappearance of her troubled "hippie" mother the same week. As she searches for and uncovers her mother's story, she also discovers the larger story of the historically situated and gendered bodies of her mother and estranged grandmother. Drawing on ancient myth (the title refers to the zodiac), California counterculture of the last century, and current conversations about sexual violence, this novel asks us to think about how the inability to communicate violence done unto the body is not just a symptom but also a means through which violence spreads collaterally between women as silence and estrangement. As Sky looks for her mother, she must also find her own voice and courage to claim her agency. 🔗 Links & Resources Purchase Circle of Animals at Bookshop.org: ✍️ About Sadie Hoagland Sadie Hoagland is the author of Circle of Animals, A Novel (Red Hen Press August 2024), Strange Children (2021; Red Hen Press) and American Grief in Four Stages (2019; West Virginia University Press), which earned a starred review from Kirkus Reviews.

Edward Cahill | Disorderly Men
📚 About Disorderly Men Three gay men in pre-Stonewall New York City find their fates thrown together in the police raid of a Village bar. Roger Moorhouse is a Wall Street banker and Westchester family man with a preciously guarded secret. As the shouting begins and flashlights blaze in his face, the life he’s carefully curated over the years―a fancy new office overlooking lower Broadway, a house in Beechmont Woods, his wife and children―is about to come crashing down around him. Columbia literature professor Julian Prince lives a comparatively uncloseted life when he finds his first committed relationship tested to its limits. How could he explain to Gus, a fearless young artist, that he couldn’t stay with him that weekend because the woman who was still technically Julian’s fiancée would be visiting? But when Gus is struck unconscious by a police baton, Julian comes out of hiding to protect him, even if exposure means losing everything. For Danny Duffy, an Irish kid from the Bronx with a sassy mouth and a diverse group of friends, the raid is a galvanizing, Spartacus moment. Danny doesn’t have too much left to lose; his family has just disowned him. But once his name appears in the newspaper, he’ll be fired from his job at Sloan’s Supermarket, where he’s risen to assistant manager of produce, and begin a journey that veers between political enlightenment and violent revenge. The three men find themselves in a police wagon together, their hidden lives threatened to be revealed to the world. Blackmail, a private investigator, Gus’s disappearance, and Danny’s quest for retribution propel Disorderly Men to its piercing conclusion, as each man meets the boundaries of his own fear, love, and shame. The stakes for each are different, but all of them confront a fundamental question: How much happiness is he allowed to have . . . and what share of it will he lay claim to? 🔗 Links & Resources Disorderly Men on Bookshop.org: 📖 About Edward Cahill Edward Cahill writes fiction and teaches English literature at Fordham University in New York City. _______________________________________________________________ One easy way to support this show is to rate and review Read Between the Lines wherever you listen to our podcast.

Interview About George Franklin done by Helen Rozier

Interview About George Franklin done by Helen Rozier
📚 About Lamentations: The brilliant, darkly beautiful poems collected in LAMENTATIONS are a posthumous selection of early and late works by a poet too little known during his lifetime. Like Plath's ARIEL, it takes us deep into the inner world of a writer who, though battered by periodic depressions, displayed thrilling mastery as an artist. Through a chorus of voices--a gentle gay Orpheus recalling his blissful life and its nightmarish end; a college boy visiting friends by the sea; Lot fleeing from his burning city; an elderly man on a road trip to nowhere--Franklin guides us across a landscape of loss lit by flashes of ecstasy. The result is a book that feels at once agonizing and affirmative, revelatory and terrifyingly familiar. "Over and over in these astonishing poems, George Franklin turns the momentary into the eternal and the minute particulars of a dramatic individual experience, with all its specified ardors and intimacies, into the experience of a civilization and of our species. The transformations are stunning in their scope and scale. The eloquence and the depth of articulation are a source of constant joy." --Vijay Seshadri, winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for poetry 🔗 Links & Resources Lamentations on Bookshop.org: 📖 About George Franklin George Franklin spent his youth studying (mostly Western) literature at Harvard, Brown, and Columbia, and his middle years studying (mostly Eastern) spiritual traditions in the United States and abroad. Throughout his life, he wrote constantly, primarily poetry, but deeply averse to self-promotion, published only intermittently. Although subject to bouts of severe depression, he had long periods of joyful engagement with the world around him and with a wide circle of friends and family. Gay but largely celibate for the sake of his spiritual practice, he never married. During his final years, suffering from multiple debilitating illnesses that consigned him to a nursing home, he rose daily before dawn to produce a series of astonishingly virtuosic books of poetry, memoir and literary criticism. He died at the age of 71, leaving behind a triumphant legacy in the form of his writing. _______________________________________________________________ One easy way to support this show is to rate and review Read Between the Lines wherever you listen to our podcast.

Kimberly Brock | The Fabled Earth
About The Fabled Earth Sometimes the truth is found in a folktale. An evening of revelry and storytelling goes horribly awry when temptations arise and passions flare. Those who survive are haunted by memories and regrets in this southern gothic tale told across dual timelines. 1932. Cumberland Island off the coast of Southern Georgia is a strange place to encounter the opulence of the Gilded Age, but the last vestiges of the famed philanthropic Carnegie family still take up brief seasonal residence in their grand mansions there. This year's party at Plum Orchard is a lively group: young men from some of America's finest families who come to experience the area's hunting beside a local guide, a beautiful debutante expecting to be engaged by the week's end, and a promising female artist who believes she has meaningful ties to her wealthy hosts. But when temptations arise and passions flare, an evening of revelry and storytelling goes horribly awry. Lives are both lost and ruined. 1959. Reclusive painter Cleo Woodbine has lived alone for decades on Kingdom Come, a tiny strip of land once occupied by the servants for the great houses on nearby Cumberland. When she is visited by the man who saved her life nearly thirty years earlier, a tempest is unleashed as the stories of the past gather and begin to regain their strength. Frances Flood is a folklorist come to Cumberland Island seeking the source of a legend--and also information about her mother, who was among the guests at a long-ago hunting party. Audrey Howell, briefly a newlywed and now newly widowed, is running a local inn. When she develops an eerie double exposure photograph, some believe she's raised a ghost--someone who hasn't been seen since that fateful night in 1932. Southern mythology and personal reckoning collide in this sweeping story inspired by the little-known history of Cumberland Island when a once-in-a-century storm threatens the natural landscape. Faced with a changing world, two timelines and the perspectives of three women intersect where a folktale meets the truth to reveal what Cumberland Island has hidden all along Purchase now from Bookshop.org Purchase now from Amazon About Kimberly Brock Kimberly Brock is the award-winning author of The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare and The River Witch.

So, just like any other young influencer, she abandons her social platforms. Check! gathers up her best flowy dresses. Check! moves to a desolate cabin. Check! Heather imagines spending her #unplugged days traipsing through the woods and tending to her garden. However, her cottagecore fantasy is turned upside down when a wounded cryptid crashes into her roof—and her heart.

To make matters worse, she thinks she might be falling in love with the brooding winged man in her living room.

When Paige isn’t writing, she can be found hunting for treasures at the local antique mall and sipping oat milk lattes under a lacey parasol as she hides from the sun in her home state of Florida.
