Darcy Steinke discusses her book, "Flash Count Diary", with Maud Casey at Politics and Prose.
In the seventeenth century, Steinke reports in her groundbreaking book on menopause, women who had hot flashes in front of others could be accused of being witches. Things have improved since then, but menopause is still a taboo subject—perhaps, Steinke speculates, because aside from women the only creatures that go through it are female killer whales. Inspired by that fact, Steinke, author of the memoir Easter Everywhere and novels including Suicide Blonde and Jesus Saves, embarked on an exploration of the history, biology, and cultural meaning of menopause that took her from Brooklyn to Amsterdam’s red-light district and finally to the Salish Sea and a close-encounter with a whale matriarch. Steinke is joined by Maud Casey, reading from her forthcoming book on female hysterics, The City of Incurable Women.

An interview with Darcey Steinke, author of Flash Count Diary. I loved her revolutionary book and so many of her thoughts about menopause are similar to mine. It was wonderful to find a kindred spirit whose overall impression of menopause is so positive. Listen to this and you'll never think about menopause in the same way again!
In this fascinating and very uplifting interview we talk about:
Darcey’s fascination with her hot flashes How the book is about so many different things about midlife and menopause How menopause can be a struggle but there is lots of richness to gain Darcey’s startling realizations about the menopausal transition How Darcey managed her own menopause symptoms and what helped most How we may be more like our pre-pubescent selves post menopause How we may live more of our lives being infertile than fertile The tyranny of estrogen and what it’s like to finally be free of it Fertility, menopause and the patriarchy Appearance, visibility and the power of female friends Calling out ageism especially at work Anger and the lifting of the complicity veil The marvels of whales and menopause The evolutionary reason for menopause How misogyny has lots to answer for on how we view menopause How rethinking menopause and ageing can re-frame our experience of both And lots more!

Menopause is an overdue new frontier of our shared public conversation. Labyrinth and the Princeton Public Library invite you to join author Darcy Steinke and poet and critic Susan Wheeler as they help shape that conversation.
In Flash Count Diary, Steinke writes frankly about aspects of menopause that have rarely been written about before. She explores the changing gender landscape that comes with reduced hormone levels, and lays bare the transformation of female desire and the realities of prejudice against older women. Weaving together her personal story with philosophy, science, art, and literature, Steinke reveals that in the seventeenth century, women who had hot flashes in front of others could be accused of being witches; that the model for Duchamp’s famous Étant donnés was a post-reproductive woman; and that killer whales -- one of the only other species on earth to undergo menopause -- live long post-reproductive lives.
Flash Count Diary is a deeply feminist book -- honest about the intimations of mortality that menopause brings while also arguing for the ascendancy, beauty, and power of the post-reproductive years.
Darcey Steinke is the author of the memoir Easter Everywhere and the novels Milk, Jesus Saves, Suicide Blonde, Up Through the Water, and Sister Golden Hair. She has taught at Columbia University, Barnard, the American University of Paris, and Princeton. Susan Wheeler is the author of a novel, Record Palace, and six books of poetry, Bag o Diamonds, Smokes, Source Codes, Ledger, Assorted Poems and Meme, which was shortlisted for a National Book Award. She is professor of creative writing at Princeton’s Lewis Center for the Arts

Douglas A. Martin, award-winning author of Outline of My Lover and the anti true crime novel Wolf, takes to the virtual Greenlight stage to share the reissue of his novel, Branwell: A Novel of the Brontë Brother. Branwell Brontë—brother of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—has a childhood marked by tragedy and the weight of expectations. After the early deaths of his mother and a beloved older sister, he is kept away from school and tutored at home by his father, a curate, who rests all his ambitions for his children on his only son. Yet while his sisters go on to write Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Agnes Grey, Branwell wanders from job to job, growing increasingly dependent on alcohol and opium and failing to become a great poet or artist. Martin’s Branwell is a portrait of childhood dreams, thwarted desire, the confinements of gender—and an homage to the landscape and milieu that inspired some of the most revolutionary works of English literature. This new edition includes an introduction by Greenlight neighbor and acclaimed author Darcey Steinke, who also joins Martin in conversation for this virtual book talk.
Recorded via Zoom on July 20, 2020.

Win a copy of Flash Count Diary by subscribing to the She's Bold Podcast newsletter!
Today’s guest is author, Darcey Steinke. Darcey has a new book out called Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life.
Fair warning that this is an adult conversation and may not be for everyone. But it’s an important conversation in that menopause has been traditionally a topic that isn’t often talked about openly.
For those going through it, there’s a lot of shame around it because of the sometimes very obvious symptoms – most notably, hot flashes. But it’s also a time of life for women when a lot of emotion and other physical changes can occur.
Darcey’s approach is that this is just another chapter in a woman’s life and should be embraced, not necessarily looked upon as a medical condition.
Her book and this conversation are so important to how we view menopause and how we can change our language around it to not be something viewed as a “condition” or as a problem to solve.
There’s no doubt that you have many women in your life that could benefit from hearing this conversation so please do share it. Let’s get the word out and start thinking about menopause a bit differently.
If you’d like to win a copy of her book, Flash Count Diary, sign up for the She’s Bold Podcast newsletter. I’ll simply alert you each time a new episode is released.

Suicide Blonde
"Suicide Blonde" is the first single from the INXS album X. It reached the top 10 on the US Hot 100 (#9) and Australia (#2) in 1990 and reached a peak of #11 in the UK.
Writing and recording
The song was written by Michael Hutchence and Andrew Farriss of the group INXS, after the band had gotten back together after a year-long sabbatical in 1989. The song was named after a woman who had bleached her own hair because she had "dyed" by her own hand and who was "love devastation". It is rumoured that Hutchence's then-girlfriend, Kylie Minogue, gave him the inspiration for the title while working on her 1989 film The Delinquents. Minogue was required to dye her hair platinum blonde for the role and was quoted by Hutchence in an interview in '89 as saying "I'm going suicide blonde today."
The recording of "Suicide Blonde" showed some new and older influences on INXS. Jon Farriss's drums show the influence of dance music especially the acid house sounds popular in the UK. Similarly, the blues harp intro on the track, performed by Charlie Musselwhite, was sampled rather than recorded live. The main riff in the song is a simple rework of the driving funk riff in the band's 1984 single "Original Sin," produced by Nile Rodgers - same key, same riff. This has come to be known as Rodgers' signature riff and can be heard from the 1970s heyday of Chic ("Soup for One") to the mid 1980s Duran Duran pop hit "Notorious," also produced by Rodgers.

Plot: On his birthday, Walter Sparrow, an amiable dog-catcher, takes a call that leaves him dog bit and late to pick up his wife. She's browsed in a bookstore, finding a blood-red-covered novel, a murder mystery with numerology that loops constantly around the number 23. The story captivates Walter: he dreams it, he notices aspects of his life that can be rendered by "23," he searches for the author, he stays in the hotel (in room 23) where events in the novel took place, and he begins to believe it was no novel. His wife and son try to help him, sometimes in sympathy, sometimes to protect him. Slowly, with danger to himself and to his family, he closes in on the truth.

Taglines: The truth will find you. First it takes hold of your mind...then it takes hold of your life. A number is just a number. Or is it?
Quotes:
Walter Sparrow: She had a face that was meant to smile.Walter Sparrow: Nasty Evil Dead Dog
Walter Sparrow: There's no such thing as destiny. There are only different choices. Some choices are easy, some aren't. Those are the really important ones, the ones that define us as people.
Suicide Blonde: ...I'm a bad person. I don't wanna make you bad.::Fingerling: You don't have that power.
Walter Sparrow: I could have died there on the street, but that wouldn't have been justice. At least not the justice fathers teach their sons.
[last lines]::Walter Sparrow: To die there in the street would have been easy. But it wouldn't have been justice, at least not the justice fathers teach their sons about. I'll be sentenced in a week or so. My lawyer says the judge will look kindly upon me for turning myself in. Maybe it's not the happiest of endings, but it's the right one. Some day I'll be up for parole, and we can go on living our lives. It's only a matter of time. Of course, time is just a counting system - numbers with meaning attached to them - isn't it?
[first lines]::Walter Sparrow: A week ago, the only thing I thought was out of the ordinary was that it was my birthday.
Walter Sparrow: It's so absurd, even the color of his tie betrays him.
Suicide Blonde: Twenty-fucking-three!
Agatha Sparrow: You would never hurt anyone.::Walter Sparrow: [whispering in a dark, eerie, but calm voice] How do you know?

https://wn.com/Darcey_Steinke_And_Susan_Wheeler_Flash_Count_Diary_Menopause_And_The_Vindication_Of_Natural_Life
Menopause is an overdue new frontier of our shared public conversation. Labyrinth and the Princeton Public Library invite you to join author Darcy Steinke and poet and critic Susan Wheeler as they help shape that conversation.
In Flash Count Diary, Steinke writes frankly about aspects of menopause that have rarely been written about before. She explores the changing gender landscape that comes with reduced hormone levels, and lays bare the transformation of female desire and the realities of prejudice against older women. Weaving together her personal story with philosophy, science, art, and literature, Steinke reveals that in the seventeenth century, women who had hot flashes in front of others could be accused of being witches; that the model for Duchamp’s famous Étant donnés was a post-reproductive woman; and that killer whales -- one of the only other species on earth to undergo menopause -- live long post-reproductive lives.
Flash Count Diary is a deeply feminist book -- honest about the intimations of mortality that menopause brings while also arguing for the ascendancy, beauty, and power of the post-reproductive years.

Douglas A. Martin, award-winning author of Outline of My Lover and the anti true crime novel Wolf, takes to the virtual Greenlight stage to share the reissue of his novel, Branwell: A Novel of the Brontë Brother. Branwell Brontë—brother of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—has a childhood marked by tragedy and the weight of expectations. After the early deaths of his mother and a beloved older sister, he is kept away from school and tutored at home by his father, a curate, who rests all his ambitions for his children on his only son. Yet while his sisters go on to write Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Agnes Grey, Branwell wanders from job to job, growing increasingly dependent on alcohol and opium and failing to become a great poet or artist. Martin’s Branwell is a portrait of childhood dreams, thwarted desire, the confinements of gender—and an homage to the landscape and milieu that inspired some of the most revolutionary works of English literature. This new edition includes an introduction by Greenlight neighbor and acclaimed author Darcey Steinke, who also joins Martin in conversation for this virtual book talk.

Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Darcey Steinke. Darcey is an author who has just put out her SEVENTH book! In this episode we chat about some of her previous books, that time she was in a punk rock band, the TWO times she interviewed Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, and of course we chat about her newly released book FLASH COUNT DIARY: MENOPAUSE AND THE VINDICATION OF NATURAL LIFE. This is a good book for women who have gone, or will go through "The Change". This is also a GREAT book to help men understand just what the hell is going on during and post menopause. I H-I-G-H-L-Y recommend this book. Enjoy!

Today’s guest is author, Darcey Steinke. Darcey has a new book out called Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life.
Fair warning that this is an adult conversation and may not be for everyone. But it’s an important conversation in that menopause has been traditionally a topic that isn’t often talked about openly.
For those going through it, there’s a lot of shame around it because of the sometimes very obvious symptoms – most notably, hot flashes. But it’s also a time of life for women when a lot of emotion and other physical changes can occur.
Darcey’s approach is that this is just another chapter in a woman’s life and should be embraced, not necessarily looked upon as a medical condition.
Her book and this conversation are so important to how we view menopause and how we can change our language around it to not be something viewed as a “condition” or as a problem to solve.
There’s no doubt that you have many women in your life that could benefit from hearing this conversation so please do share it. Let’s get the word out and start thinking about menopause a bit differently.
If you’d like to win a copy of her book, Flash Count Diary, sign up for the She’s Bold Podcast newsletter. I’ll simply alert you each time a new episode is released. I’ll give you until the end of the month to sign up for that newsletter and will randomly choose a winner on August 1st amongst all the current subscribers.

OK - with that, please enjoy this conversation with Darcey Steinke.

Darcy Steinke discusses her book, "Flash Count Diary", with Maud Casey at Politics and Prose.
In the seventeenth century, Steinke reports in her groundbreaking book on menopause, women who had hot flashes in front of others could be accused of being witches. Things have improved since then, but menopause is still a taboo subject—perhaps, Steinke speculates, because aside from women the only creatures that go through it are female killer whales. Inspired by that fact, Steinke, author of the memoir Easter Everywhere and novels including Suicide Blonde and Jesus Saves, embarked on an exploration of the history, biology, and cultural meaning of menopause that took her from Brooklyn to Amsterdam’s red-light district and finally to the Salish Sea and a close-encounter with a whale matriarch. Steinke is joined by Maud Casey, reading from her forthcoming book on female hysterics, The City of Incurable Women.

An interview with Darcey Steinke, author of Flash Count Diary. I loved her revolutionary book and so many of her thoughts about menopause are similar to mine. It was wonderful to find a kindred spirit whose overall impression of menopause is so positive. Listen to this and you'll never think about menopause in the same way again!
In this fascinating and very uplifting interview we talk about:
Darcey’s fascination with her hot flashes How the book is about so many different things about midlife and menopause How menopause can be a struggle but there is lots of richness to gain Darcey’s startling realizations about the menopausal transition How Darcey managed her own menopause symptoms and what helped most How we may be more like our pre-pubescent selves post menopause How we may live more of our lives being infertile than fertile The tyranny of estrogen and what it’s like to finally be free of it Fertility, menopause and the patriarchy Appearance, visibility and the power of female friends Calling out ageism especially at work Anger and the lifting of the complicity veil The marvels of whales and menopause The evolutionary reason for menopause How misogyny has lots to answer for on how we view menopause How rethinking menopause and ageing can re-frame our experience of both And lots more!

Yet while his sisters go on to write Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Agnes Grey, Branwell wanders from job to job, growing increasingly dependent on alcohol and opium and failing to become a great poet or artist.

Suicide Blonde
"Suicide Blonde" is the first single from the INXS album X. It reached the top 10 on the US Hot 100 (#9) and Australia (#2) in 1990 and reached a peak of #11 in the UK.
Writing and recording
The song was written by Michael Hutchence and Andrew Farriss of the group INXS, after the band had gotten back together after a year-long sabbatical in 1989. The song was named after a woman who had bleached her own hair because she had "dyed" by her own hand and who was "love devastation". It is rumoured that Hutchence's then-girlfriend, Kylie Minogue, gave him the inspiration for the title while working on her 1989 film The Delinquents. Minogue was required to dye her hair platinum blonde for the role and was quoted by Hutchence in an interview in '89 as saying "I'm going suicide blonde today."
The recording of "Suicide Blonde" showed some new and older influences on INXS. Jon Farriss's drums show the influence of dance music especially the acid house sounds popular in the UK. Similarly, the blues harp intro on the track, performed by Charlie Musselwhite, was sampled rather than recorded live. The main riff in the song is a simple rework of the driving funk riff in the band's 1984 single "Original Sin," produced by Nile Rodgers - same key, same riff. This has come to be known as Rodgers' signature riff and can be heard from the 1970s heyday of Chic ("Soup for One") to the mid 1980s Duran Duran pop hit "Notorious," also produced by Rodgers.
