  • Interesting and fun

    Adriana does such a great job getting authors to talk about themselves as well as their books. I realize they are real people with many of the same struggles we have. Their characters show us ways to deal with those struggles.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Life of a Showgirl: A conversation about Allison Pataki's IT GIRL
Q: What makes this era and Evelyn's story so compelling for a modern audience?
The era was a tectonic shift in technology, media, and gender dynamics, and Evelyn's story mirrors contemporary concerns about fame, power, and the way women are portrayed in public life, making it both historically rich and deeply relevant.
The Life of a Showgirl: A conversation about Allison Pataki's IT GIRL
Q: Why did you change the last names of the real-life figures to give yourself room to play?
Changing the names allows me to honor the historical truth while using the freedom fiction gives to explore character and motive without being constrained by exact biographical details.
The Life of a Showgirl: A conversation about Allison Pataki's IT GIRL
Q: But tell us why you chose her right now, because I have a theory, what drew you to Evelyn Nesbitt for this book?
I was drawn by the raw materials of her life—the transformation from a child of immigrants into a public figure who became a symbol of early celebrity culture—and I wanted to give her voice and agency, weaving history with fiction to illuminate her experience.
Tayari Jones: Kin, Oprah's Book Club Pick
Q: Can you tell folks what your highest dream is for this book, and why that highest dream matters so much to you?
My highest dream of this book is that it helps us understand each other better across generations.
Tayari Jones: Kin, Oprah's Book Club Pick
Q: Do you think, Tayari, because I, this was one of the big, you know, I was writing stuff down on napkins reading this.
No, I think the problem is that people think of the process of family as labor that they don't want to do.
