From the premiere of The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1992 until the death of its eponymous lead actress in 2017, this nonfiction novella follows our protagonist from her pre-teen years through tenure at an academic institution—a journey modeled in surprising, tender, and humorous ways on Mary’s own journey, to the WJM newsroom and beyond.
Who’s your hero? What television show did you binge-watch, even before “binge-watching” was part of our vernacular? For Julie Marie Wade, the hero is Mary Tyler Moore, the television show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show. From its premiere on Nick at Nite in 1992 until the death of its eponymous lead actress in 2017, this nonfiction novella follows our protagonist from her pre-teen years in Seattle through tenure at an academic institution in Miami—a journey modeled in surprising, tender, and humorous ways on Mary’s own journey from Roseburg to Minneapolis, to the WJM newsroom and beyond.

Julie Marie Wade is the author of many collections of poetry, prose, and hybrid forms, including the recent volumes Otherwise: Essays, selected by Lia Purpura for the 2022 Autumn House Nonfiction Book Prize, and Skirted: Poems. A winner of the Marie Alexander Poetry Series and the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Memoir, Wade is professor of creative writing at Florida International University and makes her home with Angie Griffin and their two cats in Dania Beach. In 1992, she began watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show on Nick at Nite and never stopped.
