In this episode I speak with Kelcey Parker Ervick about her hybrid memoir that recounts both the life of the mysterious and storied Czech fairytale writer Božena Němcová as well as the ending of Ervick's marriage through letters, collage, and art. Ervick is the author of three award-winning books of fiction and nonfiction, and is currently working on a graphic novel. Her comics appear The Believer, The Rumpus, Quarterly West, Passages North, and elsewhere. She is the co-editor, with Tom Hart, of the Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Graphic Literature forthcoming in 2021. She teaches creative writing and comics at Indiana University South Bend.

Kelcey Parker Ervick: The Bitter Life of Božena Němcová

Kelcey Parker is the guest. Her new novella, Liliane's Balcony: A Novella of Fallingwater, is now available from Rose Metal Press.Booklist says"The latest from Parker is an inventive novella hybrid, a mix of prose and poetry, past and present, heartbreak and humor. At the core is Liliane Kaufmann, the wife and first cousin of the philandering Edgar Kaufmann, who commissioned architect Frank Lloyd Wright to create the audacious Fallingwater, a Pennsylvania house built over a waterfall. Rippling out from the couple is a cast of characters spanning centuries. Without introduction or background, a different voice narrates each chapter as the iconic home itself becomes a central character. Interspersing fiction with fact (although fact outweighs fiction in this well-researched story), Parker reveals the tragic life of strong, intelligent Liliane, who is slowly eroded by a complicated marriage gone toxic. Adding dimension to her portrayal are three other women, all at different points of self-­discovery, all potentially bound for a similar fate as Liliane. Not unlike Fallingwater’s structure, which masterfully balances the man-made with the natural, Parker sculpts and controls myriad, nearly unwieldy elements to construct a driven plot that illuminates the perched house and those who live within it."Monologue topics: mail, my long creative struggle, creativity identity, showing your work.  Learn more about your ad choices.
