You’ve landed on THE BOOKSHELF with Jennifer Morrison. As a kid, you could always find me in the library, in awe of stories bigger than me and the Chicago suburb I lived in. Reading is the central resource for all of my creative endeavours. On ONCE UPON A TIME, reading between camera set ups, authors seemed like untouchable gods. Now, I have the honor of sitting down with them to unpack just how human they are and how that results in their creations as we explore their lives, processes and inspirations. So, welcome to my bookshelf. Season 1 of THE BOOKSHELF is brought to you by APARTMENT 3C.

The Bookshelf with Jennifer Morrison - Ep. 17: "Landscapes" with Christine Lai
Join Jennifer this month in conversation with author Christine Lai to discuss her novel, "Landscapes". Through a series of narratives and essays, the story follows Penelope in a not-too-distant and unfortunately, very probable future in the English countryside, now devastated by heat and drought. While most are keen on surviving, Penelope is tasked with archiving works of art that have outlasted post-apocalyptic weather in a ruined country home scheduled for demolition. Find out why Christine's writing opened Jennifer's eyes to the art world as they discuss just what is worth saving for future generations or is the question itself, like art—subjective?

The Bookshelf with Jennifer Morrison - Ep. 15: "The Book of Wanderers" with Reyes Ramirez
It's a new year, and in our first episode of 2024, Jennifer sits down with writer and poet Reyes Ramirez, a finalist of the 2023 New York Public Library's Young Lions Fiction Award. Reflecting his parents' immigration journey, "The Book of Wanderers" is a collection of short stories following several (creatively named) characters facing harrowing but similar experiences. Find out why Jennifer says the book helped her to empathize, and expand as a person, as well as what we can do to create real change in the present—to avoid Reyes' imagining of the future in "The Book of Wanderers".

The Bookshelf with Jennifer Morrison - Ep. 14: “All Day is a Long Time” with David Sanchez
"All Day is a Long Time" author, David Sanchez, tells Jennifer Morrison the elevator pitch for his novel: a "pseudo-autobiographical book about a young man in Florida who struggles with drug addiction". An incredibly brave tale, written by an equally fascinating person. Jennifer talks with David about his debut novel, how his story differs from most surrounding the theme of addiction, and how a class in poetry shifted his path of becoming a doctor—to becoming a writer.
