Lidia Yuknavitch, Author of Chronology of Water, on her book and the new film adaptation by Kristen Stewart

Join me, your host Liz Asch, as I talk with Lidia Yuknavitch about her experience sharing her book, The Chronology of Water, with the world, and how it’s been for her seeing her memoir transformed into a film, starring Imogen Poots, directed by Kristen Stewart. Lidia is the fairy godmother to a myriad of writers here in Portland, Oregon, and all over the country and the world. She is brilliant and humble and funny and clever and, in this episode, you get to hear her thoughts, feelings, and impressions of this wild process, which we discuss as a form of ekphrasis. If you haven’t listened to my previous interview with Lidia (Recto/Verso episode 3), you might want to play that one first. Thank you so much for joining me, Lidia Yuknavitch, and to those of you listening as well.
