The Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul was packed with John Grisham fans on Thursday, Oct. 23, when the prolific author made his debut at Talking Volumes. Host Kerri Miller started the night by asking the audience and then Grisham himself to confirm or deny a series of facts. Does Grisham breed champion sheepdogs at his home in Virginia? Has he been knighted? Does he write a sizzling sex scene for each of his books, just to prove that he can — only to take it out before he sends the manuscript to his editor? Talking Volumes: John Grisham They discussed all that and more — including his new novel, “ The Widow ,” which is actually more mystery than thriller, and how his first as a small-town lawyer in Mississippi led him to become an author. They also delved into how writing about the criminal justice system in America transformed the way he thought about justice. Music was provided by Molly Maher , who brought her blend of Americana and the blues to the Fitz, and even debuted a song inspired by “The Widow.”

John Grisham is the author of over 50 #1 bestselling novels, including A Time To Kill and The Pelican Brief— but before he became the preeminent writer of legal thrillers, he had a tumultuous career as a lawyer. Adam and John discuss how John’s experience in the courtroom inspires his fiction, and how it has continued to shape his perspective on storytelling and criminal justice. They also dig into John’s writing process, unpack his feelings of doubt that still linger after success, and reflect on the moment that changed his mind about the death penalty.

His next novel, THE UNWILLING returns to the South, this time at the height of the Vietnam War.

Mit einem entspannten "Ommmm" folgen Jan und Daniel dem Bestseller von Emmanuel Carrère auf ein Yoga-Retreat. Und John Grisham verrät, woher er seine vielen Ideen nimmt. So viel Aufmerksamkeit haben die Nasenlöcher der Hosts wohl noch nie bekommen: In der Bestsellerchallenge geht es diesmal um Vipassana-Yoga, also um das bewusste Ein- und Ausatmen. Die Entspannung findet jedoch ein jähes Ende, als Jan Daniel zu einer Yoga-Challenge herausfordert. Zu Gast ist diesmal der Thriller-Autor John Grisham. Er begrüßt die beiden Hosts von seiner Farm in Virginia. Ein idyllischer Ort, an dem aber grausame Ideen entstehen. Zum Beispiel die eines Richters, der gleichzeitig ein Serienmörder wird. Darum geht es in Grishams neuem Roman. Nach der Erfahrung des letzten Romans "Der Polizist" (nachzuhören in Folge 33) will Daniel aber vor allem eins wissen: Warum gibt es so viele Wiederholungen im Buch? Auf seiner literarischen Weltreise landet Jan diesmal in Singapur, wo ein Roman über Marlene Dietrich erschienen ist. Und er findet einen Literaturnobelpreisträger, für den Meditation mindestens so wichtig war wie für Emmanuel Carrère.

Writing is a skillful art. But it's not as flashy as playing a musical instrument or sand-painting. One reason for this is that we've all been taught how to write in school. So, when we think about writing a novel — and you have thought about it if you're an avid reader — we expect it to be easy. But it's not. Unlike other art forms, you cannot teach writing. If you have ever given writing a shot, the first hurdle you bump into it is finding your niche. Who are you writing for? Once you figure that out and write your first draft, a bigger hurdle arises: How are you going to get published? John Grisham jumped both hurdles over 30 years ago. Since then, he's become a household name with 28 consecutive number one fiction bestsellers. But he wasn't a hotshot from the get-go. During his childhood, the world didn't have much in terms of technological entertainment. All John Grisham's household had was a radio they used to tune into the St. Louis Cardinals games. So, he and his family members amused themselves with an ancient form of entertainment: storytelling. Fast forward to adulthood, after getting sick of criminal defense and personal injury litigation, John polished off his storytelling chops and started writing. During one of the trials at the DeSoto County courthouse, he witnessed a gut-wrenching testimony of a twelve-year-old rape victim. He pondered the thought of what would have happened if the girl's father had murdered her assailants. And that's how Grisham found his niche with his first book, A Time To Kill; he combined his knowledge of the American legal system and the art of storytelling the novel, and many more since. To pursue his newly-found purpose, he woke up at 5 am to write before heading off to his 60-to-70-hour-per-week job. It took him three years, the support of his wife, and his desire to say "I wrote a book" to finish his first novel. Then his second hurdle hit. Rejection letters piled up, which surprisingly, gave him hope. He thought he wasn't good enough, but his wife came up with a solution. And it worked. Since then, Grisham has written 46 books in total, including his breakout hit The Firm and other movie adaptations such as The Client, The Pelican Brief, and The Chamber. In today's episode, John Grisham joins Kelly Corrigan to talk about his creative writing process, addressing controversial and difficult topics through fiction, and how seeing the work of others can be demotivating. He also gives his own strategy that got his first book published. Highlights from the conversation: How Grisham learned to craft compelling story plots Why should you always have an adaptable creative process? The role his wife played in his success as a writer Topics and themes Grisham would like to explore further and write books about Enjoy! --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

This Podcast Features: John Grisham Author Neal Kassell Founder and Chairman, Focused Ultrasound Foundation “Once I realized the potential of this non-invasive surgical procedure to save countless lives and improve the healthcare of millions of people, I realized how important this work can be and is.” —John Grisham Friends and neighbors for 25 years, author John Grisham and neurologist Neal Kassell are on a mission. Together, they are raising awareness – and funds – for a promising, non-invasive procedure known as focused ultrasound. While the FDA has approved the therapy for seven specific treatments, Kassell (who successfully treated both of President-elect Biden’s aneurisms) believe that millions could benefit from broader applications of the technology: “Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, OCD, depression, a lot of work now on epilepsy, stroke,” he tells Mike. “The other major area that has us really excited is cancer and cancer immunotherapy, particularly glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer, as well as metastatic melanoma. [What] we need in addition to financial capital is human or intellectual capital. … The ultimate force multiplier for human capital is collaboration. So, we spend a lot of time fostering collaboration.”

John Grisham is the author of thirty-three novels, one work of non-fiction, a collection of stories, and seven novels for young readers.

There are currently more than 300 million John Grisham books in print worldwide, which have been translated into 40 languages. His 2019 novel, The Guardians , has a strong social-justice component that shows how wrongful convictions happen. When he's not writing, Grisham devotes time to charitable causes including serving as the local Little League commissioner. The six ballfields he built on his property have played host to more than 350 kids on 26 Little League teams.
