Adrienne Brodeur on Family Myths, Wounded People, and Honest Fiction

About this sermon

This month's book club pick is Little Monsters, and Adrienne Brodeur brought the whole story behind it. She spent thirty years on the other side of the pen, founding Zoetrope: All-Story with Francis Ford Coppola and editing other writers, before a panic attack in a hospital elevator finally showed her how to write her own memoir. Jen and Adrienne get into the unspoken rules every family runs on, the moment you realize you never actually agreed to your assigned role, why she has compassion for Ken even though readers do not, and what it took to write mania honestly. Plus the screen adaptation of Little Monsters, her new Substack, and the book club's standing offer to cast the movie.
