Even casual readers will be familiar with Shirley Jackson's classic works: The Haunting of Hill House, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and her iconic and widely anthologized short story "The Lottery." Stephen King called The Haunting of Hill House "one of the most important horror novels of the 20th century."In  the course of her two-decade career, Jackson wrote six novels, two  memoirs, and over 200 short stories. A film based loosely on her life,  starring Elisabeth Moss, was released last year (though the portrayal is  far from accurate).Although Jackson died in  1965, her work is enjoying a renaissance. Thanks in part to her eldest  son, Laurence Jackson Hyman, several of her books and stories are now  being made into movies. Hyman published two story collections  posthumously and now, for the first time, has revived a collection of  Jackson's letters dating from 1938 to 1965. Hyman joins Marrie Stone to talk about The Letters of Shirley Jackson, his mother's legacy, the woman behind the thrillers, and domestic life  and memories with Jackson growing up. We also learn about Jackson's  husband, Stanley Hyman, a staff writer for the New Yorker,  professor at Bennington College, and literary critic. Shirley Jackson  fans won't want to miss this intimate insider's look inside her life. Download audio.  (Broadcast date: July 21, 2021)

Laurence Jackson Hyman on Writers on Writing, KUCI-FM

Laurence Jackson is a line producer’s assistant on the Netflix original You. He also produces SAG short films on the side. After a few “career restarts” Laurence is finally working in his dream environment. He encourages others to follow suit if they have a passion or dream. “If you have a passion, persevere.” Laurence created his first film with his digital camcorder when he was 14 years old. When he arrived on his college campus and realized it didn't have a film program, he took matters into his own hands. Laurence created a film club in which he wrote and filmed his first feature film, Hollow, during his freshman year. The movie had a message for college students who were struggling to find their way. After debuting the film at UMD’s theater, Laurence was flown out to UC Irvine to show the film there too. One student said that he saw himself in the film and it made him realize he didn’t know who he was but that he wanted to figure it out. This experience fueled his passion and his career journey from working as an IT auditor to entering the film world.  Find out how Laurence persevered to follow his passion working in the film industry!  Once you’re inspired by Laurence’s story we would love to read your review. http://bit.ly/AmandaNachmanPodcast
