Description
How many threads allow us to address and understand tragedy and grief? On this week’s episode of The Artful Periscope, Larry sits down with author Marianne Leone to discuss her latest book Five Dog Epiphany. Marianne starts off by reading an excerpt from the book, showcasing a story about a dog named Titi, who came into her life at the start of the 2016 pandemic. After the reading, Larry and Marianne discuss their mutual friendship with Eddie Falco, Marian’s role on The Sopranos and the support she received from her fellow cast members after fainting on set. Then Marianne discusses her first book, Knowing Jesse, which chronicled the loss of her son after a battle with cerebral palsy, and her second book, Ma Speaks Up, which re-tells stories about her Italian immigrant mother. Her latest book, Five Dog Epiphany recounts how adopting a pack of Bichon Frise helped bring joy back into her life after the devastating loss of her son.
After the break, Larry invites author Henry Wise to discuss his latest book Holy City. Taking place in rural Southern Virginia, Holy City follows Sheriff Will Seems as he investigates a homicide along with a wild card private detective named Bennico. Larry and Henry discuss the role of religion in the narrative, the racial history of Viriginia that still affects the black community, and how settings can also be characters in stories.
