Brendan O'Connor · Author, Elizabeth Strout: “A marriage can be a lonely place” · 6 Jun 2026 podcast

I didn't get that about you.

But now I do and...

And I look back and I think, he had his lonely moments, you know, but I can't quite... Anyway, I mean, everybody does.

But I have been thinking more about my parents because I'm older.

Yes, they did.

What did that look like?

It meant that we were to work hard.

That was the main thing I got from it, which is a wonderful thing to get because, you know, I do work hard.

But you were to work hard so that you could go to bed and get up and work hard again.

I mean, food wasn't to be

especially enjoyed you just ate it so that you could wake up again and work hard okay um we we had no television because they didn't believe in it which actually i think worked out for me as a writer but um no movies no popular culture came into our lives did you manage to break the cycle of the kind of being down on pleasure and enjoying food and all that kind of stuff

Well, my daughter certainly.

She broke the mold.

It takes two generations to really do it.

She knows all about food and movies and pleasure and bless her heart.

I think so, yes.

Yes, I'm a little bit both ways.

I've still got one leg in the main thing.

But she's full force onward.

Okay, so you did break the cycle.
