2023-05-081h 07Between Lewis & LovecraftZora Neale Hurston Part 1Gather round, children, for the story of one of the coolest ladies in literary history.
Zora Neale Hurston was born with a thirst for adventure and the confidence to conquer the world, even though at the start of the 1900s, to be both black and a woman seemed a formidable barrier to overcome.
But it didn’t take long for her to make her mark on the world as both a writer during the Harlem Renaissance (her most popular novel is Their Eyes Were Watching God), and an anthropologist, studying hoodoo and...

As it turns out, a big part of Carroll's life is so embroiled in controversy that Tyler didn't even have to make up a conspiracy theory about the author.

2023-01-1059 minBetween Lewis & LovecraftMary Shelley, creator of FrankensteinIf Mary Shelley's life were a book, you'd put it down because it sounds too dramatic and tragic to be believable. By her mid-20s, the creator of "Frankenstein" had run off with a poet, been disowned by her family, lost four children, published a literary masterpiece, and been widowed.
Tyler and Hannah spend far too much time ragging on Mary's husband, and Tyler has quite the theory about the deeper meaning behind "Frankenstein."

Tyler bravely disavows racism, Hannah reiterates the necessity of hiring a good editor, and neither one of us can decide whether to recommend reading this book or not.
We also have an exciting announcement!

2022-10-061h 15Between Lewis & LovecraftHarper Lee ( To Kill a Mockingbird) Harper Lee was living the dream in the early 1960s. The first novel she had ever written had been published, become a bestseller, and been awarded the Pulitzer Prize all within a year. Almost overnight she had gone from an anonymous Alabaman to one of the most influential American authors in history. So why, then, didn’t this promising young writer publish anything else after “To Kill a Mockingbird”? Hannah and Tyler examine Lee’s incredible rise to prominence and her withdrawal from the spotlight.

We talked with them about their work, writing process, what made them decide to go the independent publishing route, and more.

No one wrote about his life when he was alive, and he left few (if any) personal writings and letters behind for historians to study. But Tyler and Hannah still found plenty to discuss during this episode, including Shakespeare's dad's fall from societal grace after being caught trafficking one very controversial material, Shakespeare's marriage to Anne Hathaway, and of course speculation that many of his most famous sonnets are about a man.

2022-06-271h 18Between Lewis & LovecraftBrandon Sanderson
When Robert Jordan died in 2007, he left the beloved epic fantasy series “The Wheel of Time” incomplete. But a moving eulogy written by emerging fantasy author Brandon Sanderson caught the attention of Jordan’s widow, Harriet McDougal. After reading just a couple chapters of Sanderson’s novel “Mistborn,” McDougal knew she’d found the author to finish her husband’s series.
But before Sanderson finished one of the biggest fantasy series of the 21st century, he considered giving up on writing altogether. Tyler and Hannah discuss his early life and education, many rejections, and the books that finall...

James Oliver Rigney Jr. (better known by his pen name Robert Jordan) is best known for his breakout fantasy series "The Wheel of Time," which breathed new life into a genre that had grown somewhat stale since Tolkien took the scene by storm decades earlier. But before he wrote the several million words that would become his legacy, Rigney/Jordan served in Vietnam, became a nuclear engineer, and had a near-death experience that inspired him to finally pick up a pen. AND he...

Tyler is officially back in the studio after taking a few months off to be with his wife and new son. And Hannah is relieved, to say the least. Both of us need more time to prep for the next couple of episodes which will cover the lives of fantasy authors Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, but we wanted to check in, offer a preview of the upcoming episodes, and discuss fantasy as a genre (and some of its main sub-genres).

Perhaps most famous is "The Da Vinci Code," Brown's first bestselling novel and the one that drew the ire of the Catholic Church. But as Hannah, Tyler, and special guest cohost Aly Fitzgerald learned, Brown's religious views are much more complicated than the prevailing narrative would have you believe.

2022-05-011h 28Between Lewis & LovecraftFyodor Dostoevsky — How a Political Prisoner and Siberian Exile Became One of Russia’s Most Famous AuthorsFyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) is one of Russia's most acclaimed writers. His most famous novels include Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, and The Brothers Karamazov. Although Dostoevsky created many works that were celebrated even within his lifetime, his life was anything but easy. He became orphaned as a teenager, was exiled to Siberia for reading banned materials, and struggled with disastrous spending habits that nearly lost him a decade of his work.

He’s also a screenwriter and musician. Tyler hates him for his success. Hannah likes him for his calming voice and British accent. Hannah and Tyler both read Ishiguro’s latest novel, “Klara and the Sun,” and discuss it at length. Ty-Ty the Bible Guy makes an enlightening appearance, weird sex talk happens for no apparent reason, and we have a live studio audience!

We talk about the many subgenres of romance (bully romance is a thing?), why Nicholas Sparks doesn’t count as a romance novelist, trends in the genre and industry, how to get ARCs, and the types of novels Rachel will NOT read.

Tyler has an existential crisis, Hannah can’t pronounce Arrakeen, and both of them weigh in on Herbert’s love life. Honestly, Herbert crammed so much living into his 65 years on this planet that we could have easily talked about him for even longer, but hopefully we did him justice between the two episodes.
Also, I (Hannah) swear this author was requested by a listener, but I can’t find their original message. If that was you, reach out and let us know how we did :)
