Deborah Lott and Paul Lisicky will discuss their new books, writing life in quarantine, and what they've been reading.  Don’t Go Crazy Without Me by Deborah Lott Don’t Go Crazy Without Me tells the tragicomic coming of age story of a girl who grew up under the seductive sway of her outrageously eccentric father. He taught her how to have fun; he also taught her to fear food poisoning, other children’s infectious diseases, and the contaminating propensities of the world at large. Alienated from her emotionally distant mother, the girl bonded closely with her father and his worldview. When he plunged from neurotic to full-blown psychotic, she nearly followed him. Sanity is not always a choice, but for the sixteen-year-old, decisions had to be made and lines drawn between reality and what her mother called her “overactive imagination.” She would have to give up beliefs carried by the infectious agent of her father’s love. Later: My Life At The Edge Of The World by Paul Lisicky When Paul Lisicky arrived in Provincetown in the early 1990s, he was leaving behind a history of family trauma to live in a place outside of time, known for its values of inclusion, acceptance, and art. In this idyllic haven Lisicky searches for love and connection. At the same time, the center of this community is consumed by the AIDS crisis and the very structure of town life is being rewired out of necessity. What might this utopia look like during a time of dystopia? _______________________________________________ Produced by Maddie Gobbo &amp; Michael Kowaleski Theme: "I Love All My Friends," a new, unreleased demo by Fragile Gang.

LIVE ON ZOOM: Deborah Lott & Paul Lisicky

Kathryn interviews Creative Writing and Literature teacher at Antioch University, Los Angeles Deborah Lott, author of “Don't Go Crazy Without Me.” More than just the tragicomic coming-of-age story of a girl growing up under the magnetic spell of her outrageously eccentric father, she tells the story of an era. Lott’s memoirs, essays and reportage have been published in the Bellingham Review, LA Times and more. Kathryn also interviews Author, Speaker &amp; Board-Certified Anesthesiologist Dr. Lynette Charity. #Quarantinedlife has become a trending hashtag on social media with scores of people sharing posts about boredom, anxiety and frustration. As we enter #quarantinedlife for the foreseeable future, will basic health advice be enough? And is it even possible? According to Dr. Charity, these general health guidelines are even more important as we self-isolate. She received her MD degree from Tufts University School of Medicine.
