On the Saturday April 27 edition of the Richard Crouse Show we meet Ruth Reichl, the New York Times bestselling author of five memoirs, the novel \u201cDelicious!,\u201d and the cookbook \u201cMy Kitchen Year.\u201d She was editor in chief of Gourmet magazine, and previously served as restaurant critic for The New York Times, as well as food editor and restaurant critic for the Los Angeles Times. She has been honored with six James Beard Awards.\n\nToday we\u2019ll talk about her new book \u201cThe Paris Novel,\u201d which follows Stella St. Vincent, an introverted thirtysomething, who finds purpose in a search for art, fashion and food on a 1983 Paris trip.\n\nWe\u2019ll also meet award-winning, former Toronto Star journalist Morgan Campbell. His new memoir \u201cMy Fighting Family: Borders and Bloodlines and the Battles That Made Us,\u201d offers a history of his family\u2019s multigenerational battles, a coming-of-age story, and a powerful reckoning with what it means to be Black in Canada when you have strong American roots.\n\nThen, we\u2019ll meet Christian Sparkes, a film director and screenwriter from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. I really like his revenge thriller \u201cHammer,\u201d the story of a father who faces a personal crisis when he discovers his estranged son fleeing a botched drug deal. It\u2019s good stuff, and likely available on a streamer near you. Today, we\u2019ll talk about his new movie \u201cThe King Tide.\u201d \n\nSet in Newfoundland and Labrador, it tells the story of an isolated, struggling community, ten years after a child with miraculous gifts washed up on the beach. She is able to heal people, but after a decade of prosperity, her adoptive parents are forced to decide whether her safety is more important than their community's prosperity.
