Between Lewis & Lovecraft

To Chill A Mockingbird

Tyler and Hannah have been having a couple hectic weeks, but we're here to bond over our disappointment with "Go Set A Watchman," the book that was marketed as a sequel to Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird." 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!

Harper 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.

 

Hannah read: “Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee” by Charles J. Shields

Tyler listened to: “The Mockingbird Next Door: Life With Harper Lee” by Marja Mills

Sherlock Holmes and the super chill case

Hannah and Tyler get off topic early and often in this month’s chill episode. But we do try to talk a little more about Arthur Conan Doyle, the Sherlock Holmes adaptations we like and the ones we don’t, and how the mystery genre has changed since Doyle’s time. And we’re surprised and delighted by a poetry submission from longtime friend of the podcast, Bradley Botts.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is best known for creating the iconic character of Sherlock Holmes. But as Hannah and Tyler discovered, Doyle led a wild life even before penning the novel that would bring him fame.

A Midsummer Nights Festival: Chill Episode

Tyler and Hannah took Between Lewis & Lovecraft to the Through the Looking Glass arts festival in Canby last month, recording interviews with several independently published authors. We talked with them about their work, writing process, what made them decide to go the independent publishing route, and more.

 

Back in their respective studios, Hannah and Tyler end the episode with another round of 1-Star Reviews of Books We've Talked About on the Show and Tyler does.... not as well as he did the first time.

 

00:00 The hosts catch up on what they've been reading/writing lately

William Shakespeare: Netflix and Quill

William Shakespeare is the most famous playwright of all time, but his life is largely a mystery. 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. Biography: “Will in the World” by Stephen Greenblatt

Born to Chill in the Mist!

We just chillin'! Talking more about Brandon Sanderson, mainly focusing on his Laws of Magic. We end the episode with a new game where Hannah reads truly scathing reviews of books we've talked about on the show and Tyler has to guess the book.

Brandon 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 finally hit it big. Tyler’s also back with another conspiracy theory — get ready for the Jordan-Sanderson Paradox — and Hannah feels bad for a water bottle.
