Richard Powers

Two interviews with Richard Powers, one of America’s most distinguished novelists. In 2006, his novel The Echo Maker, won the National Book Award and was a finmalist for the Pulitzer, and his most recent novel, The Overstory, was short-listed for the Booker Prize and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Richard Powers explores the effects of modern science and technology in his twelve novels. Along with the Pulitzer and National Book Award, he has won many other awards over the course of his career, including a MacArthur Fellowship. Richard Powers has taught at the University of Illinois and Stanford Universities.

An interview recorded during the book tour for “The Time of Our Singing,” recorded in the KPFA studios, February 14, 2003..

In 2003, his novel The Time of Our Singing was published to excellent reviews. A multi-generational epic of the civil rights movement, the book combined his love of physics and music, and took his writing to a new level, becoming a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and winning two other major literary awards.

An interview recorded during the book tour for "The Overstory," recorded in the KPFA studios, April 27, 2018.

Richard Powers delves into the world of eco-terrorism and the secret life of trees in this epic story about eight individuals who, together and apart, come to see the forests of earth as our salvation, and the salvation of the planet. Based on prodigious research, Powers tells of the way trees communicate with one another, and spins stories based on real life confrontations between protestors and those who would destroy the lifeblood of the planet to pay off leveraged debt.

Tess Gerritsen, whose latest novel is "Choose Me," written with Gary Braver. and author of the 12 books in the Rizzoli and Isles mystery series, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky.

The program starts with excerpts from an interview recorded in 2004 in which she discusses how she became a writer, and the origins of Rizzolli and Isles, and then moves into an interview recorded on June 24, 2021 via zencastr about her current projects.

In a long and successful career, Tess Gerritsen has written romantic thrillers, medical thrillers, science fiction, and noir. She's written the screenplays for two produced movies, and serves as co-director of a documentary, "The Magnificent Beast." The Rizzoli and Isles books served as the inspiration for a long-running Rizzoli and Isles television series, which can now be seen on HBO Max.

In the 2021 interview, she discusses her latest novel, born from discussions about the #metoo movement, her involvement in film and television, her feelings about how the pandemic affected her work, and her thoughts on how Black Lives Matter affected her as an Asian American author.

[caption id="attachment_239755" align="alignleft" width="323"] Richard Wolinsky and Jim Obergefell at KPFA, June 2016,[/caption]

A conversation with Jim Obergefell, co-author of Love Wins: The Lovers and Lawyers Who Fought the Landmark Case for Marriage Equality. Hosted by Richard Wolinsky

In June, 2015 the Supreme Court decided in Obergefell v Hodges that gay marriage became the law of the land. In the six years that followed, gay marriage has been routinely accepted across the United States and few blink twice when someone mentions his husband or her wife. Richard Wolinsky interviewed Jim Obergefell, the man whose name appears on the decision, a year later while he was on tour for the book Love Wins, which he co-authored with Debbie Cenziper.

Jim Obergefell's husband John in Ohio was dying when he was approached by an attorney who explained that because the state did not recognize gay marriages from other states, Jim's name would never appear on John's death certificate. Jim and John both agreed to go for it, and the result, in June 2015 in the case Obergefell v Hodges, the Supreme Court made gay marriage the law of the land. Since then he has become a spokesperson for gay rights around the country.

In this compelling discussion recorded on June 22, 2016, Jim Obergefell talks about the case, about his relationship, and about how his life has changed in the year following the decision.

Bookwaves Special Pride Hour

Armistead Maupin: In honor of Pride Month, two interviews with Armistead Maupin, the first recorded in June, 2007, and the second recorded in January 2015, with host Richard Wolinsky.

Armistead Maupin is the author of the legendary "Tales of the City Series," which was later turned into four successful miniseries on television, and later a musical at ACT in San Francisco.

Following nearly twenty years since the previous book in his series, Armistead Maupin returned back to 28 Barbary Lane and its proprieter, Anna Madrigal, with "Michael Tolliver Lives" in the spring of 2007. In that interview, he talks about the history of "Tales of the City" and about his career as a writer.

In 2014, he ended the series with "The Days of Anna Madrigal," and the second interview was recorded in January 2015 when the book came out in trade paperback. In this interview he talks about his decision to end the series, as well as the ACT musical.

"Tales of the City: The Musical," which played at ACT's Geary Theatre in 2011, streams as part of Pride festivies, June 21 - 27, 2021. For more information, go to the ACT website [2].

Bookwaves Special Pride Hour

Paul Rudnick, author of the novel "Playing the Palace," and the teleplay for the HBO film "Coastal Elites," in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky.

Playwright, screenwriter and novelist Paul Rudnick's latest novel, "Playing the Palace," is the story of a gay man living in New York who falls in love with a gay Prince of Wales, and what ensues. His recent film, "Coastal Elites," with Bette Midler, Dan Levy and others, is a contemporary account of life during the first half of 2020 when the awfulness of Donald Trump met the awfulness of the Covid-19 pandemic, seen as five separate monologues.

Paul Rudnick has a long career as a playwright, with such plays as "Jeffrey," his view of the AIDS epidemic and how an HIV-negative man deals with the crisis, "I Hate Hamlet," and "The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told." His screenplays include "Addams Family Values," "In and Out," and "Sister Act." He is currently working on a musical version of "The Devil Wears Prada," based on the screenplay, for which he was one of several script doctors.

Paul Rudnick is also the author of film reviews by Libby Waxman-Gellmer, which have appeared in both Premiere Magazine and The New Yorker.

[caption id="attachment_359878" align="alignleft" width="358"] Scene from "A Tale of Summer." Janus films.[/caption]

Kate MacKay is the curator of a retrospective of the Four Seasons cycle of films by the great French New Wave director Eric Rohmer, streaming on the BAM/PFA [2] website through July 28, 2021. She talks about the films and about Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive's year during the Covid shutdown with host Richard Wolinsky.

Eric Rohmer (1920-2010) was one of the contributors of the magazine Cahiers du Cinema, along with Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard and was one of the founders of the French New Wave. His success came later than that of his colleagues, finally arriving in 1969 with My Night at Maud's, and continued both commercially and artistically into the 21st Century.

The films streaming [3] in this Tales of the Four Seasons cycle, A Tale of Springtime, A Winter's Tale, A Tale of Summer and A Tale of Autumn were all filmed between 1990 and 1998 when Rohmer was into his seventies. Despite that, the films all feel like the work of a young independent film-maker, and not an old master.  Eric Rohmer Wikipedia page. [4]

Kate MacKay has been as Associate Curator of Film since 2016, and has programmed several film retrospectives over the course of her career in Berkeley and previously in Toronto.

This brilliant and incisive essay [5] by Richard Brody from the New Yorker discusses the four films, and Rohmer.

Playwright and actress Jeanne Sakata in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky.

Jeanne Sakata is the author of the play “Hold These Truths” which is now playing in front of live audiences at San Francisco Playhouse through July 3, 2021, and streams June 12 - July  3, 2021 on the San Francisco Playhouse website. [7]

Jeanne Sakata is an actress who has appeared on several TV shows and films, and on stage at both ACT and Berkeley Rep.

Hold These Truths is the true story following Gordon Hirabayashi, a Japanese-American student who fought internment to a relocation camp during World War II. This return to live theatre celebrates the human spirit as it chronicles Hirabayashi’s journey from college in Seattle all the way to the Supreme Court, and eventually to a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Directed by Jeffrey Lo, with Jomar Tagatac [8] starring as Hirabayashi,

Hold These Truths made its world premiere in 2007 at East West Players in Los Angeles. In 2012, the solo play made its Off Broadway premiere at Epic Theatre Company and received a 2013 Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance. Since its world premiere, it has gone on to play throughout the nation including theatres in Boston, Honolulu, Washington, D.C., Portland, TheatreWorks in Palo Alto in July, 2018, and many others.

Richard Wolinsky interviews Mick LaSalle, film critic for the San Francisco Chronicle about "Dream State: California in the Movies," Tuesday June 8, 7 pm Pacific on Zoom. Tickets and information. [2]

Flynn Berry, whose latest thriller is "Northern Spy," set in contemporary Northern Ireland, in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky. Recorded via zencastr on May 12, 2021.

Flynn Berry is the author of two other novels, "Under the Harrow," which won the Edgar Award for best first novel, and "A Double Life."

"Northern Spy" takes place in Northern Ireland as the tension between Catholics and Protestants has ratcheted up several notches. A single Catholic mother of an infant son, working as a producer in Belfast's BBC studios, finds herself increasingly drawn into dealings with the IRA through her sister, who had lived a double life for the previous seven years.

In this interview Flynn Berry discusses how she came to write the novel, her writing process, and her history as an author of thrillers.

Jacques d’Amboise (1934-2021) in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky, April 6, 2011, during the tour for the memoir, "I Was A Dancer."

Jacques d’Amboise, who died on May 2, 2021 at the age of 88 following complications from a stroke, was a principal dancer for the New York City Ballet from 1953 to his retirement in 1984. As such, he was considered the living embodiment of the choreography of the great George Balanchine.

In 1976, he founded the National Dance Institute to teach dance to children. In time, he became one of the most famous dancers in America, appearing as one of the Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and as the male dancer in the second act ballet in Carousel in those respective 1950s films.
