Picture
Las Cruces artist and Pulitzer-nominated author George Mendoza spoke with Lynn Moorer about his book, Journey of the Spirit Man, his writing process, and how he copes with his blindness.  Mendoza describes his book’s protagonist, Michael, as a jerk who embodies a modern-day Job as he suffers great loss, then wanders into a hellish land where he encounters magic realism and faces fantastical challenges.  He likens Michael to Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz as he gradually learns key life lessons about the human spirit while leaving it unclear as to whether it was all just a dream.

Michelle Lujan Grisham to spend federal relief money without going through the legislative process.

DELVING IN: Anita Diamant on Menstrual Justice

10/17/2021

 
Stuart Kelter interviews Anita Diamant, a novelist, journalist, essayist, and author of five guidebooks to contemporary Jewish life on such topics as weddings, parenting, and mourning practices. As a journalist, her feature stories and columns in the Boston Globe and the Wall Street Journal included profiles of prominent people, stories about medical ethics, and first-person essays about everything from politics to popular culture, from pet ownership to food. Anita’s best-known book, The Red Tent, published in 1997, is a novel inspired by the brief yet provocative story about Jacob’s only daughter, Dina, from the book of Genesis. The book became a word-of-mouth and New York Times bestseller thanks to reader recommendations, book groups, and support from independent bookstores, has been published in more than 25 countries, and was adapted as a two-part, four-hour miniseries by Lifetime TV. Her latest book, published just this year, is Period. End of Sentence: The New Chapter in the Fight for Menstrual Justice, which is the topic of today’s interview.
