Episode #212 “The First Time They Did It” (broadcasting May 20th, 2015)
Only tonight on LIFE 25 at 10:30 pm
“The first time they did it” is about first timers. Regardless how old they are and where they come from, how and when they did it is a topic they do not shy away from. As a matter of fact, they are quite loquacious discussing the topic, exposing their weaknesses and frustration and the moment of bliss round the corner waiting to greet them. But before “graduating,” they shared similar painstaking journeys of perseverance and painstaking apprenticeship.
Susan Strecker,
“Night Blindness” offers a rare exploration of the singular,
unparalleled love between a daughter and her cancer-riddled father, and
writes with unflinching honesty about the dynamics of a family in
crisis, and the fallout of a single rash act: how responsible was she in
the death of her brother?
Helen Wan,
“The Partner Track” took the world by storm with its new take on the
office politics/law firm novel that follows a Golden Girl employee who
has passed the apprentice stage and is now facing mature and relatable
issues. But textbook and reality are two worlds apart, and soon our
Chinese American prodigy has to wade across the deep waters of damage
control as she herself drowned in a her own romantic life.
John Benditt,
“The Boatmaker” tells the tale of a fierce complicated silent man who
wakes from a fever dream compelled to build a boat and sail away from
the small island where he was born. The boat carries him to a bigger
island, where he becomes locked in a drunken and violent affair whose
explosion propels him to the mainland. Hence begins a long journey of
discovery, part fable and part allegory.
