Zibby interviews English professor and author Cassandra Jackson aboutThe Wreck,a luminous, lyrical, anguished, and wise memoir about her quest to understand a family secret–a car crash that killed her father’s mother, sister, sister-in-law, niece, and first wife before she was born. Cassandra describes what her childhood was like, not knowing what had happened, and then explains how, years later, she put the tragedy together, piece by piece. She was shocked by how little she really knew about race and segregation in America – from colored ambulances to segregated obituaries. She also talks about her journey with infertility and the appalling, inhumane way she was treated by medical professionals.

Guest host Julie Chavez speaks to author Charlotte Maya aboutSushi Tuesdays, the memoir about the loss of her husband to suicide, and her search for answers, acceptance, and family resilience as a young widow with two small children. Charlotte discusses the meaning behindSushi Tuesdays–the day she dedicated to self-care after her husband’s death and the name of the blog she started as she navigated the “mess of grief, mothering, childrearing, and widowing.” She also talks about her late husband Sam, the people who helped her get by, the role of writing in processing her grief, and ultimately, how important it is to speak openly about suicide to take away its stigma and help those who are suffering in silence.
If you or a loved one is experiencing suicidal ideation, call the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988. The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for anyone in suicidal crisis or emotional distress.

Zibby interviews British debut author and model Eirinie Carson aboutThe Dead Are Gods,a raw, striking, and beautifully intimate new memoir–a love letter and time capsule– that explores grief, Blackness, and recovery after the death of her dearest friend Larissa. Eirinie describes what Larissa was like and reveals how a never-ending eulogy, essays she wrote to process her grief, and emails unexpectedly turned into a book. She also describes the novel she is working on now (it involves postpartum and murder!), balancing writing and motherhood, her hopes to normalize grief, and her participation in Zibby’s Wine Country Retreat in September.

Far more than a superb memoir about the highest levels of professional tennis,Openis the engrossing story of a remarkable life.
Zibby: "I am beyond excited to be talking to Andre Agassi today. Andre Agassi really needs no introduction. As a refresher, Andre used to be ranked number one in the world in tennis and won eight Grand Slam singles championships. Now married to Steffi Graf, Andre has two children and is involved in launching charter schools with the Turner-Agassi Foundation. Andre Agassi wrote one of my favorite books of all time. It’s called Open, which I’ll talk about tonight."
“Agassi may have just penned one of the best sports autobiographies of all time.Check—it’s one of the better memoirs out there, period. An unvarnished, at times inspiring story [told] in an arresting, muscular style. Agassi’s memoir is just as entrancing as his tennis game.”—Time
