In this week's episode, we are joined by critic and author Maud Newton as we delve into Theodora Keogh's enigmatic and haunting 1952 novel, "Street Music," which takes place in post-War Paris. As the granddaughter of an American icon, Keogh's writing possessed a subversive quality that defied easy classification, challenging readers and earning admiration from notable authors such as Patricia Highsmith. Discussed: Street Music by Theodora KeoghAncestor Trouble: A Reckoning and a Reconciliation by Maud NewtonThe Family Fang by Kevin WilsonPatricia HighsmithTheodore Roosevelt Alice Roosevelt Longworth (Theodora Keogh's aunt)Joan Schenkar (Patricia Highsmith's biographer)Sylvia Plath Meg by Theodora KeoghThe Double Door by Theodora KeoghFor episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.com Follow us on instagram @lostladiesoflit.
