Show Notes
Miranda July, a triple threat in the art world as an innovative visual artist, filmmaker, and writer has just released a new novel titled “All Fours.” It’s a coming-of-middle-age story about a married woman who is either experiencing a turning point or is turning her world upside down when she derails a solo road trip by abruptly checking into and staying at a highway motel. She joins The Culture Show to talk about it and her creative process.
From there we look at another innovative artist, the illustrator and activist Ekua Holmes who has redefined children’s books with her bold colors and sophisticated collage work. She’ll joins us to preview this Saturday’s Roxbury Book Fair and to discuss her latest book, a biography of Coretta Scott King.
Finally Culture Show contributor Joyce Kulhawik joins us. She’s president of the Boston Theatre Critics Association, which sponsors the Elliot Norton Awards. She’ll talk through this year’s nominees and preview next Monday’s awards ceremony.
