A couple weeks ago, I climbed to the top of Mount David with the New Yorker Radio Hour, a place I visited almost every month when I was in school at Bates College.
It was like ancient history to be there and remember! I’d never talked about Mount David to anyone, but it was such an important part of who I became.
Kala Lea, "Elizabeth Strout’s View from the Top," The New Yorker Radio Hour, October 4, 2019.“Oscar winner Robert Redford has signed a two-year, first-look television deal with HBO. The first project put into development under the pact is The Burgess Boys, a miniseries based on the novel by Elizabeth Strout.”
Honored! Thank you, IMPAC Dublin.
“142 books have been nominated by libraries worldwide for the €100,000 International IMPAC DUBLIN Literary Award, the world’s most valuable annual literary prize for a single work of fiction published in English.”
For my Italian readers, with thanks to Festivaletteratura and Piero Dorfles.
“In generale i romanzi della Strout affiancano alla dimensione sociologica quella psicologica e privata ma anche realtà più ampie, come quella politica e sociale; per questa ragione hanno fatto breccia nel pubblico americano, soprattutto femminile, che si è sentito totalmente rispecchiato nelle numerose donne della scrittrice.”
