Episode #202 “Authoress,
Writeress, Nothing Less”
Location sponsor: City
Winery, New York
They call themselves
actors when they really are actresses. Meet the new crop of authoresses: Amy
Sohn, Stacey D’Erasmo, Alice Eve Cohen.
This week panel
consists of women authors. Whether
we call them Authors or Authoresses, these writers (or shall we say
writeresses?), have strong feminine voices, even more so while writing
fiction. Their characters may span
a wide range of lives, from the evil-eyed memoir to the floundering of a movie
star, but ultimately, they face tough choices, decide where the chase of a long
coveted dream too long in coming is still worth it.
In Amy Sohn’s “The Actress” a
young actress discovers that every marriage is a mystery and that sometimes the
greatest performances do not take place on screen. Set in a tantalizing world
of glamour and scandal, “The Actress” is a romantic, sophisticated page-turner
about the price of ambition, the treachery of love, and the roles we all play.
Stacey D’Erasmo, “Wonderland,” drops
us into the life of an indie rock star at the moment when she’s deciding
whether to go all-in or give up on her dreams.
After taking a
seven-year break, Anna gets a last chance to figure out whether the life she
once had is one she still wants.
Alice Eve Cohen, “The Year My Mother
Came Back.” Thirty years after her death, Alice’s mother appears to her and
continues to do so during the hardest year Alice has had to face: the year her
youngest daughter decides to track down her birth mother, and Alice herself
gets a daunting diagnosis. A story of resilience, peace, and boundless love.
