Books are a time-tested cure-all, so in this weekâs bonus episode Amy weighs a few of the titles that have helped her forget life's latest troubles and doubts ⊠(sort of). She leaves no stone unturned in her quest for distraction, from Proustâs meandering sentences to a behind-the-scenes memoir about a beloved â80s film and a charming, century-old suffrage novel that captures our current political zeitgeist. Rounding out the episode is a sneak peak at âlost ladiesâ weâll be featuring in the coming year and Amyâs recitation of a poem by Adrienne Rich thatâs perfectly suited to these strange times.

At the age of eight, Gertrude Simmons Bonnin (later known by her pen name ZitkĂĄla-Ć ĂĄ) left her Yankton Dakota reservation to attend a missionary boarding school for Native Americans, a harsh and abusive experience about which she eventually wrote a series of articles published in The Atlantic Monthly. Jessi Haley, editorial director of Cita Press (which just published a free anthology of the authorâs work) joins Yankton Dakota poet Erin Marie Lynch to discuss how ZitkĂĄla-Ć ĂĄâs sense of cultural displacement impacted her life and literary output.

Growing up on the Great Plains and witnessing the struggles of migrant workers in California made Sanora Babb uniquely qualified to write the story of the Dust Bowl. Her novel Whose Names Are Unknown was slated for publication by Random House in 1939 until The Grapes of Wrath beat her book to the punch. John Steinbeck actually used Babbâs notes and research to write his Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel, but did he get the story right? Iris Jamahl Dunkle, author of a new biography on Babb, joins us to explain why this long-lost âDust Bowlâ novel (finally published in 2004) deserves more recognition.

Amy springboards off our discussion of last weekâs âlost lady,â Mary MacLane, to further investigate the woman whose diary inspired her. From the age of 12 until her death at 25, Russian-born painter Marie Bashkirtseff detailed her daily life, frustrations, flirtations and family drama. First published in 1887, the diary enthralled readers including British Prime Minister William Gladstone and George Bernard Shaw, while future diarists like AnaĂŻs Nin and Katherine Mansfield were also inspired by Bashkirtseffâs musings. Amy reads excerpts in this weekâs bonus episode to give listeners a glimpse into the world of a precocious young artist in late-19th-century Paris.

Long before 'Brat Summer,' America was taken with Mary MacLane, a defiant and wildly egotistical 19-year-old resident of Butte, Montana, whose confessional diary implored the âkind devilâ to deliver her from a life of bourgeois boredom.

As Berlin bureau chief for The Chicago Tribune from 1925-1941, Sigrid Schultz deflected both sexism and danger to report the truth and speak truth to power. The Nazis dubbed her âthat dragon from Chicago,â and her importance as an indomitable ânewspapermanâ (her term) telling Americans about the Third Reich's agenda canât be understated. Amy speaks this week with Pamela Toler, the author of a new biography on Schultzâs life, work and lasting legacy.

HIATUS ENCORE: Sisters Jane and Anna Maria Portersâ books took Regency-era England by storm just a few years ahead of Jane Austen, and their lives were chock-full of fascinating (and insufferable) characters, intriguing romantic escapades, event-filled interludes at the homes of wealthy acquaintances and desperate gambits to stay one step ahead of the poverty line. Joining us is ASU Regents Professor of English, Devoney Looser, whose new book is Sister Novelists: The Trailblazing Porter Sisters, Who Paved the Way for Austen and the Brontes. Kirkus Reviews calls it âa triumph of literary detective work.â

Amy discusses the good and bad of audiobook narration in this weekâs bonus episode, then dives into the origins of the commercial audiobook industry. Founded in 1952, Caedmon Records was the brainchild of two young women who achieved their smash debut success by convincing Dylan Thomas to record himself reading some of his most popular work, including âA Childâs Christmas in Wales.â The recording company went on to record LPs of work by a wide array of literary stars, including Gertrude Stein, Sylvia Plath, Ernest Hemingway, T.S. Eliot and J.R.R. Tolkien, thus paving the way for todayâs burgeoning audiobook market.
