An eyewitness to monumental moments in the 20th century, author Kay Boyle hung out with Left Bank artists and literary giants, chronicled the ravages of WWII, was blacklisted in the 1950s and was jailed for her Haight-Ashbury activism in the late 1960s. An intrepid modernist committed to a âRevolution of the Word,â this two-time O. Henry award-winner penned 14 novels, eight volumes of poetry and 11 collections of short fiction, yet too few readers today have read her work or even know her name. Returning guest Anne Boyd Rioux joins us this week to discuss Kay Boyleâs audacious life and her lasting impact on literature.

In this weekâs episode Kim and Amy discuss the life and work of âSperanza,â a.k.a Lady Jane Wilde, a.k.a. Oscar Wildeâs mom! An outspoken, rabble-rousing poet who championed Irish independence, she stirred up members of the Young Ireland movement while writing for Dublinâs radical newspaper âThe Nationâ in the 1840s. Oscar may have inherited his motherâs wit, intellect and larger-than-life personality, but his later legal troubles were also preceded by her own very public and scandalous libel case.

Zelda Fitzgerald is known as âthe first American flapperâ and an icon of the Jazz Age, but you may be surprised to learn that beneath the glittering facade, there was substanceâand literary talent. Her sole published novel, âSave Me the Waltz,â is a poignant blend of beauty and biography that draws on her complex personal narrative, including her childhood in Alabama, her marriage to F. Scott Fitzgerald, and her attempt to become a professional ballerina in Paris at the age of 25.
Joining us is Stephanie Peebles Tavera, an assistant professor of English at Texas A&M University Kingsville and author of the 2022 work â(P)rescription Narratives: Feminist Medical Fiction and the Failure of American Censorship,â from Edinburgh University Press. An essay Stephanie wrote about Zelda and âSave Me the Waltzâ will be included in an upcoming collection called âAmerican Writers in Paris: Then and Now.â

Last week, with guest Kathleen B. Jones, we discussed Christine de Pizan and her Book of the City of Ladies. Could a woman's hand have been behind any of the beautiful illustrations in this medieval work? Given what we know about women's involvement as artists in the medieval manuscript making process, it's certainly possible. Kathleen, the author of the new novel Cities of Women, is back with us for this weekâs bonus episode to talk about it.
