![]() I think there’s a lot of – I don’t want to say toughness, but there’s a lot of strength in Lucky Wreck. ![]() I wrote down the question “what do you think you’re seeing in yourself that expresses that resilience?” but I’m also curious how much you think might be an illusion, might be you expressing a resilience in the hopes of creating it. I’m fascinated with the idea of being able to communicate with a former self or an alternative self that was you 15 years ago. I was really interested in your new introduction, especially where you talk about looking back on the person who wrote these poems and seeing a resilience that you envy. It can feel pretty serendipitous to talk about a book like Lucky Wreck, which was written during another particularly dark moment in recent history, at a time like now, with so much hope for positive transition and growth. Like most conversations lately, we started by talking about the public griefs of the moment and how we’re struggling and managing to find strength and joy. I was lucky enough to speak with Ada over Zoom about her debut collection and what it means to return to it after 15 years. Her first book of poetry, Lucky Wreck (2006), is being republished by Autumn House Press this spring in celebration of its 15th anniversary. Ada Limón, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and finalist for the National Book Award, is the author of five books of poetry, including The Carrying (2018) and Bright Dead Things (2015). ![]()

If I want a signed book from you, how do I get one? The book has definite crossover appeal, same as NN. Like NN, it contains violence and explicit sex and protagonists with extremely dubious morality. I’d rate them MA ( or NA if you prefer) and describe them as “crossover books”.ĮMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE has the same publishers as NEVERNIGHT. They also have sex scenes ( and now I have to contemplate the fact that my mother reads my smut *shudders*). Does that automatically make it YA? My editors say “Definitely not, and who the hell let you out of your cage? Get back to work”. The protagonist is a sixteen year old girl. THE NEVERNIGHT CHRONICLE is a different beast.

My heart bled for what he's been through. I want to hug her, laugh with her, encourage her and celebrate her. She truly is a gentle warrior, filled with light, wit, humor, strength, and a very loving, and forgiving, heart. But she's never understood just how strong, or special, she really is. She taught herself to read then became self-educated. Born to the streets, a throwaway scrap of humanity, she's never known true love, never been told, or shown, that she has value, never had a name until she was 12 years old. Gertrude is one of my all-time favorite heroines, in the top 10 at least, possibly the top 5. Characters who, even as I read their final words, I know I will return to revisit, time and time again.

The book begins with an unnamed narrator, who reveals his identity at the end of the novel, so as to make the chronicle that follows as objective as possible. This makes his description of the plague and the pain of loneliness exceptionally vivid and heartfelt. Illness, exile, and separation are themes that were present in Camus’ life and his reflections upon them form a vital counterpoint to the allegory. This, of course, is an allusion to Meursault’s murder in The Stranger and is connected with the ravages of the pestilence in The Plague. In fact, in the novel he mentions “a young company employee who had killed an Arab on a beach”. He stresses the powerlessness of the individual to affect his destiny in an indifferent world. ![]() It tells the story of a plague epidemic in the Algerian coastal town of Oran, where thousands of rats are found dead all over the city.Ĭamus’ absurdist philosophy is at the background of the novel.

Known particularly for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy novels, MacDonald inspired many authors, such as G.K.
