Today's episode is an in-length conversation with National Book Award finalist Lauren Groff. She met up with NPR's Andrew Limbong at a library at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, where they chatted about Mary Rowlandson, the colonial woman captured and held ransom by Native Americans in the 1600s, and how she influenced Groff's new book, The Vaster Wilds. Groff also talked about how she found a new affinity for historical fiction, and why she always has "a go bag" ready.

NPR's Book of the Day - Alice Carrière’s memoir tackles the dissonance between memory and mental health
Alice Carrière grew up in Manhattan under the care – and absence – of two extraordinarily creative parents: artist Jennifer Bartlett and actor Mathieu Carrière. But her mother's trauma, her father's transgressions, and her own dissociative disorder broke Alice's ties to her own identity and humanity. In her memoir, Everything/Nothing/Someone, she recounts some of the most difficult moments of her life – but as she tells NPR's Ailsa Chang, she also used writing, her mother's dementia and a reconciliation with her father to reclaim her own reality.

Bay Curious - The Burrito. The Myth. The Legend.
You may have seen articles use "Mission-style" to describe a certain kind of burrito you can find at taquerias in San Francisco's Mission District.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Know Nothing Party
In the mid-19th century, the United States began to change.
The country had initially been settled by people from England, Scotland, and the Netherlands, the vast majority of whom were Protestant.
However, in the 1840s, there began a dramatic change in the composition of immigrants to the United States. A large number of them began coming from Ireland and Germany, the vast majority of which were Catholic.
The reaction to these immigrants had an enormous impact on American politics.
Learn more about the Native American Party, aka the Know Nothing Party, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
