Description
An eyewitness to monumental moments in the 20th century, author Kay Boyle hung out with Left Bank artists and literary giants, chronicled the ravages of WWII, was blacklisted in the 1950s and was jailed for her Haight-Ashbury activism in the late 1960s. An intrepid modernist committed to a “Revolution of the Word,” this two-time O. Henry award-winner penned 14 novels, eight volumes of poetry and 11 collections of short fiction, yet too few readers today have read her work or even know her name. Returning guest Anne Boyd Rioux joins us this week to discuss Kay Boyle’s audacious life and her lasting impact on literature.Mentioned in this episode:Fifty Stories by Kay BoyleAvalanche by Kay BoyleAudacious Women, Creative Lives Substack by Anne Boyd RiouxFor Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest HemingwayTender Buttons by Gertrude SteinBroom literary magazineBeing Geniuses Together: 1920-1930 by Robert McAlmon and Kay BoyleThe Armory Show of 1913Lost Ladies of Lit Episode No. 11 on Constance Fenimore WoolsonLost Ladies of Lit Episode No. 108 on Lola RidgeLost Ladies of Lit Episode No. 98 on HeterodoxyErnest WalshJames JoyceLawrence VailRobert McAlmonWilliam Carlos WilliamsMarianne MooreJean ToomerThe Revolution of the WordRaymond DuncanJoseph von FranckensteinFive Days One Summer film starring Sean ConneryMeg, Joe, Beth, Amy: The Story of Little Women and Why it Still Matters by Anne Boyd RiouxThe Collected Stories of Constance Fenimore Woolson“Wedding Day” by Kay Boyle“The White Horses of Vienna” by Kay Boyle“Maiden, Maiden” by Kay Boyle“The Diplomat’s Wife” by Kay Boyle“Security” by Kay Boyle“Adam’s DeSupport the showFor episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.comDiscuss episodes on our Facebook Forum.
