Physical therapist, mom, avid reader, and bookstagrammer Sarah McGrath of Sarah Reads in Roc joins host Emily Hessney Lynch for a deep dive book chat on all things Shirley Jackson! We read her gothic horror masterpiece We Have Always Lived in the Castle and her first memoir Life Among the Savages to get to know both sides of Jackson and her work. In the first half of our book chat, we get into some Shirley Jackson lore, exploring her relationship with her mother, how she always felt like an outsider growing up, and how she despised going to the University of Rochester for a hot second. Then we jump into We Have Always Lived in the Castle and discuss Merricat's voice, her relationship with Constance, Jackson's signature humor and common themes, and the horrifying way things unfold at the end. Sarah also shares about her own experiences with OCD and we discuss whether or not Merricat might have some magical thinking OCD going on (among other things!).In the second half of the show, we talk about Life Among the Savages, sharing our favorite anecdotes about Jackson's 4 imaginative children, how her classic humor shows up again, our amazement at how she managed not to lose herself in motherhood despite how little her useless husband did, and how astonishingly cheap everything was back in 1953. We also go on a fun tangent about our own experiences learning that Santa wasn't real!Note: Our discussion is spoiler free until about 23:16. If you'd like to skip the spoilers, fast forward to the second half of the episode.Links:Read along with us!
