140 - Pale Shadows by Dominique Fortier
Another Book on the Shelf
02/14/24 • 53 min
In Episode 140, Gen and Jette get to revisit one of their favourite books, Paper Houses, with the sequel, Pale Shadows. Dominique Fortier's follow-up to her reimagining of Emily Dickinson's life, traces the publication of Dickinson's poems after her death and the women who helped it happen.
Obviously we loved this. It's time to add every Emily Dickinson collection to our reading lists.
Show Notes
We learned a lot about the process of readying Emily's poems for publication, which included removing dashes and deciding on which word Emily intended for the poem. There are several different collections with slightly different versions of the poems. The one being published in Pale Shadows was edited and transcribed by Mabel. A later edition was done by her daughter, Millicent.
Shout out to Coach House Books for never steering us wrong. Paper Houses was the first book of theirs we ever read on the podcast.
If you haven't listened yet, check out Episode 26 on Paper Houses.
Emily Dickinson's Herbarium was also published and it has been digitized by Harvard Library for anyone to look through.
In our next episode we'll be reading James Baldwin's essay collection, Notes of a Native Son.

138 - Flung Out Of Space by Grace Ellis and Hannah Temple
Another Book on the Shelf
01/17/24 • 46 min
In Episode 138, Gen and Jette discuss the graphic novel Flung Out of Space by Grace Ellis and Hannah Templer. It reimagines the life of author Patricia Highsmith and the inspiration for her classic lesbian novel The Price of Salt.
Show Notes
We've begun a bit of a tradition of reading a graphic novel as our second episode of the year, and we're loving it. It's especially fun to talk about the illustrations alongside the writing.
It was fascinating to learn more about Patricia Highsmith—both the good and the bad—and we'd love to learn more.
Did you catch the Paper Houses references? We're going to have many more coming when we read the follow up book, Pale Shadows, in early February.
Our next episode we'll be talking about The Twist of a Knife by Anthony Horowitz.
Don't forget to read along with our current book club pick, Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson. We'll be talking about that one first thing in March.
