This is the second episode with Gerald Everett Jones, from what turned out to be her mini-series of "Talks with a Writer."

#litfic #booktalk #geopolitics

In this episode, we step behind the scenes of showbiz and the entertainment industry. What sacrifices one has to make on their journey to fame? How does Hollywood operate? Where is the line between the constructed public image and the real person? We explore these questions and more with award-winning author Gerald Everett Jones whose recent novel, "Mick & Moira & Brad," inspired this conversation.

This interview is filled with real-life anecdotes, curious details, and plenty of insights about life, love, and the art of storytelling.

A Small Town in Germany is one of le Carré's first novels, written not long after he left the employ of the British Foreign Service in 1964. One of his first postings was in Bonn, the postwar capital city of West Germany, and the small town of the title.

Here's my book review of A Small Town in Germany by John le Carré. Written decades ago by the recently deceased author, its plot has chilling parallels to today's news.

A Small Town in Germany is one of le Carré's first novels, written not long after he left the employ of the British Foreign Service in 1964. One of his first postings was in Bonn, the postwar capital city of West Germany, and the small town of the title.

In his own home.

Unarmed.

The city settled, the finding never changed.

These days they often just copy this finding for each new death by choke hold. The coroner's task is to determine whether the person died of natural causes or "at the hands of another." The heart attack finding points to natural causes, which gets the killer off the hook.

The memoir Gerald wrote with Rebecca Schaper - The Light in His Soul: Lessons from My Brother's Schizophrenia - was #1 Amazon Hot New Release when it was released in 2018.

Narrator Michael Gilboe reads Mr. Ballpoint, a comic novel by our radio host Gerald Everett Jones.

It's called entrepreneurship. It might be risky, but along the way it's a lot of fun. The introduction of the first ballpoint pen to the U.S. in 1945 was a marketing sensation. And the first day it went on sale at Gimbels in Manhattan triggered a riot when thousands of shoppers had to be wrangled by fifty cops.

Thus began the Reynolds International Pen Company. Started by a shameless huckster and his straight-arrow son.

And some thought the first iPhone was a big deal!

Boychik lit??!! A car jockey at a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills, youthful hacker-turned-slacker Rollo Hemphill devises a screwball scheme for making his girlfriend jealous. Through a silly but magical ruse, our hero gets everything he’'s dreamed about —- a celebrity job as a drive-time shock-jock, a wardrobe from Armani, use of a luxurious Malibu beach house, and a shiny red sports car. What he can’'t possibly get is any sex at all —or the one girl he really wants. She thinks he’'s a gigolo and a phony, but he can’'t tell her the truth or she’'ll know he’'s just a jerk whose only friend in the world is a life-sized sex toy. To get his genuine heart’'s desire, Rollo must admit to her that his prank was a mistake, undo its hurtful consequences, and make some sobering decisions about what’ is really important in life.

Marv responds to our questions, including:

How does mystery fiction differ from true crime? What is a police procedural? Do all mysteries fall into that category? Have you ever come across a story that you thought was too painful or too troubling to write? How does the training and skillset of a journalist inform the work of a mystery novelist? Is it a truism that social media is killing journalism these days? A Scribe Dies in Brooklyn is full of Judaic scholarship. Did you just absorb all that detail over the years, or was it a research project in itself?

Gerald Everett Jones is author of Bonfire of the Vanderbilts, which tells the secrets behind this painting.

The painting, which LACMA now owns, shows a christening in a plush private parlor, attended by 21 people. The portraits are so realistic, the individuals should be recognizable. For more than a century, the rumor in the art world has been this is a Vanderbilt family event. However, the heirs and the curators of their estates all deny any association with the painting.

Gerald's original research discloses why a bitter feud between Cornelius Vanderbilt II and banker J. P. Morgan is at the heart of the matter. He fictionalized this sensational story in Bonfire of the Vanderbilts.

Our first impulse was to invite one or more authors whose books are popular and get their views on how people have responded to their work. But then we had the idea to invite someone who is mainly a reader, who has read widely and doesn't necessarily have a personal message to deliver.

Our featured guest is Denis Hutchison is co-proprietor with his wife Lois of Afterglow of Sedona (Arizona). We only found out as we were interviewing him that he used to have his own spiritually centered radio show in Phoenix.

Gerald Everett Jones is author of Bonfire of the Vanderbilts, which tells the secrets behind this painting.

The painting, which LACMA now owns, shows a christening in a plush private parlor, attended by 21 people. The portraits are so realistic, the individuals should be recognizable. For more than a century, the rumor in the art world has been this is a Vanderbilt family event. However, the heirs and the curators of their estates all deny any association with the painting.

Gerald's original research discloses why a bitter feud between Cornelius Vanderbilt II and banker J. P. Morgan is at the heart of the matter. He fictionalized this sensational story in Bonfire of the Vanderbilts.
