This week, Memoir Nation podcast turns 8! And we’re kicking off our new season with guest Myriam Gurba, the brilliant if sometimes controversial critic and cultural writer who’s the author of multiple books, including her memoir, Mean, and the forthcoming Poppy State. This week’s podcast is focused on language—word choice, puns, clever language, reading aloud, being in love with language, and so much more. Myriam is a master of language, and her books are a delight to read because of it. And we’re bringing back the book trend this season, kicking off with a conversation between Brooke and Grant about the trend of authors using AI to enhance their writing, specifically chosen to juxtapose the kind of language we read in Myriam’s work. If you’ve been thinking about how to write better, more creative, more unique prose, we’re circling that and more this week. And welcome to our new season!

Myriam Gurba is the author of four books: Dahlia Season, Painting Their Portraits in Winter; Mean, and Creep. Myriam’s writing has been widely anthologized and has appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Harper’s Bazaar, Believer, Paris Review, and elsewhere. She is a teacher, an editor, an anti-rape activist, a public speaker, a practitioner of plant-based magic, and a co-founder of Dignidad Literaria, a grassroots organization that combats white supremacy in the publishing industry.
