Katrin Zipse: Moosland. 1949Vier Jahre nach Kriegsende veröffentlichte der Isländische Bauernverband eine Anzeige in den Lübecker Nachrichten. Gesucht wurden junge deutsche Frauen, die auf isländischen Bauernhöfen mitarbeiten würden. Viele Isländerinnen waren damals in die Städte abgewandert oder mit den abziehenden amerikanischen GIs in die USA gegangen. Einige Bauern suchten also nicht nur Arbeitskräfte, sondern auch Heiratskandidatinnen. Etwa 300 junge deutsche Frauen folgten dem Aufruf. Für Katrin Zipse Stoff für ihren Roman Moosland. Claudia Ingenhoven hat das Buch gelesen. Steffen Kopetzky: Die HarzreiseVor 200 Jahren durchwanderte Heinrich Heine den Harz und schuf mit seiner Harzreise ein bis heute berühmtes literarisches Reisebild. 200 Jahre später folgt der Autor Steffen Kopetzky dieser Spur und findet eine von sozialen und ökologischen Veränderungen geprägte Landschaft. Und wie Heine auch hat Kopetzky seine Beobachtungen und Erfahrungen von unterwegs in einem literarischen Text festgehalten, nun erschienen beim Rowohlt Verlag. "Die Harzreise - eine Deutschlanderkundung" ist durchaus ein Buch übers Wandern und ist doch zugleich voller kluger Gedanken zur politischen Gegenwart. Jörg Schieke hat sich mit Steffen Kopetky über diese Harzreise unterhalten.Christine Thürmer: Hiking Asia. Zu gern schauen wir Anderen bei ihren Abenteuern zu. In Videos, Lichtbildvorträgen, Büchern und natürlich im Internet verfolgen wir, wie sie sich die Welt etwa erwandern. Eine von ihnen ist Christine Thürmer. Sie bezeichnet sich selbst als die "meistgewanderte Frau der Welt" und verweist auf ihrer Webseite auf unfassbare 70.000 Kilometer zu Fuß, 37.000 Kilometer mit dem Fahrrad und 7.000 Kilometer mit dem Boot. Christine Thürmer hat mehrere Bücher geschrieben. Das Neueste erzählt von ihren Touren durch Japan, Südkorea und Taiwan. Sabine Frank stellt es vor.Felicitas Hoppe: ReisenSeit die Autorin 2012 mit dem Georg-Büchner-Preis prämiert wurde, ist sie in aller Munde, denn diese Auszeichnung gilt als wichtigste Literaturtrophäe im deutschsprachigen Raum. Insgesamt veröffentlichte die 1965 in Hameln geborene Schriftstellerin bisher mehr als zwei Dutzend Werke, darunter die von der Kritik euphorisch gefeierten Reiseromane "Pigafetta" und "Paradiese, Übersee". Jetzt hat die Künstlerin dem Thema Reisen einen Essayband gewidmet. Ulf Heise stellt ihn vor. Ali Smith: GliffDie Schottin Ali Smith gehört in Großbritannien zu den ganz großen zeitgenössischen Schriftstellerinnen. Schon mit ihrer Jahreszeiten-Tetralogie war sie sowas wie eine literarische Ersthelferin für alle, die von den damals aktuellen politischen Entwicklungen überrannt wurden: Egal, ob es der Brexit war, der Rechtsruck oder die Corona-Pandemie. Auch in ihrem neuen Roman gibt sich Ali Smith politisch. Das Buch hört auf den rätselhaften "Gliff" und Kais Harrabi stellt es vor.Und der Tipp zum Schluss: Moni Ports wunderbares kleine Buch "Women's Words. Fünfzig Frauen, fünfzig Sätze". Mit besten Empfehlungen!

Ze schrijft over onderwerpen als gastvrijheid, gender, klimaat en sociale verhoudingen – en dat altijd met een warme, menselijke blik.Bij velen werd ze bekend door haar vier-seizoenenreeks Herfst, Winter, Lente en Zomer. In 2023 kregen we tijdens Exploring Stories een kijkje in haar maakproces, in het brein dat schuilt achter haar verhalen. Wie inspireert haar? Is schrijven een politieke daad?

Der Roman "O Caledonia" von Elspeth Barker rollt Janets Leben auf, wirft Schlaglichter auf ihre Beziehungen zu ihrer Familie, zu Geistern und Tieren.

After the completion of her seasonal quartet, readers will have been wondering where Ali Smith might take us next and it shouldn't be a surprise that a writer who had so successfully captured our present moment should seek to extend her gaze just a little further into an all too imaginable near future. Gliff forms the first part of a two book sequence, followed next year by its sister novel, Glyph. We sat down with her to discuss the process of storytelling, the nature of dystopia, and why she still has hope for our future.

Nádasdy Ádám nemcsak új verseskötettel jelentkezett az idei könyvhétre, de beszédet is mondott a megnyitó ünnepségen, így adta magát, hogy elhívjuk a Nem rossz könyvek nyári epizódjába. Az új, Billeg a csónak című kötet mellett beszélgettünk az angol nyelv változásairól, magyar klasszikusok „újrafordításáról”, melegség és írás kapcsolatáról, Petőfiről és az életnél és halálnál általánosabb kérdésekről.  A tartalomból: 00.00 Mennyire lehet olvasni választási kampány véghajrájában? (Spoiler: nem nagyon.) És egy kapcsolódó könyv: Ali Smith - Ősz. A könyvhéten azért jártunk: két könyv, amivel távoztunk: Giorgio Agamben: A nyitott és Mircea Cărtărescu - Ne kiáltsd sohasem segítség (Visky András fordításában.) 4.20 Vendégünk: Nádasdy Ádám. Hogyan kezd el már valaki gyerekként foglalkozni a nyelvekkel?  És hogyan kezdett el valaki épp angolul tanulni a szocializmusban?  Az angol, mint egzotikus, távoli nyelv, ami jó befektetésnek bizonyult. És mit tett az angollal, hogy azóta ennyire domináns nyelvvé vált?  19.10 Magyar klasszikusok újrafordítása: Bánk bán, Csongor és Tünde és Az ember tragédiája. Miért kellett ezeket újrafordítani, és miért pont ezekre esett a választás? Amiért az esztétika professzorok haragszanak: a gondolat, hogy a tartalom fontosabb, mint a tényleges szövegi létük. És mit lehet kezdeni a Szigeti veszedelemmel? 26.25 Segíti vagy hátráltatja a versírást, ha valaki ennyire ismeri a nyelvet? És mikor jut egyáltalán idő az írásra? Tanítás és versírás egymás mellett. A legjobb múzsa a határidő.  31.30 Az első verses kötete csak 37 évesen jelent meg. Eleve lassan készültek a kötetek akkoriban + melegként nehéz volt még erről írni. Fiatalkori versek a mostani kötetben bukkannak fel. És mi változott azzal és azóta, amikor megjelentek az első novellái a melegségről?  37.55 Megidézett költők a Billeg a csónak kötetben, és Petőfi státusza: ő az, akit Nádasdy Ádám sosem irigyelt. Hülyét csinált magából sokszor, kérdés, öregkorában mit szólt volna néhány fiatalkori próbálkozásához. És beszélünk az új versek nyomán az öregkor veszélytelenségéről és az életnél meg halálnál általánosabb kérdésekről. „Olvasmányainkból is tudjuk, hogy meg kell halnunk előbb-utóbb, de olyan nehéz erről írni”.  39.55 Könyvheti nyitóbeszédében gazdaságról, gazdagokról és irodalomtámogatásokról, magándíjakról beszélt. Miért ezt a témát választotta?  48.20 Egy Shakespeare dráma, ami méltánytalanul kevés figyelmet kap: II. Richárd (elérhető Spiró György fordításában). És három könyv a nyárra Nádasdy Ádám ajánlásában: Kállay Eszter - Vérehulló fecskefű, Krusovszky Dénes - Levelek nélkül, George Orwell - 1984.  Továbbra is várjuk a könyv- és témaötleteket a facebookos csoportunkban!

The vibrant style Ali Smith has brought to her writing and photography—featured regularly in The New York Times, The Guardian, and other publications internationally—was forged in New York's underground music scene where she played bass in the seminal punk / blues / avant-garde band, Speedball Baby. After touring worldwide and recording several albums, Ali released two books of photography about women's lives. The first, Laws of the Bandit Queens, led to a feature on OWN, Oprah Winfrey's television network. The second, Momma Love: How the Mother Half Lives, won two International Book Awards, was praised by The New York Times, and Gloria Steinem called it “a gift to moms.” Since its release in January, 2024, Ali's memoir The Ballad of Speedball Baby has garnished much critical acclaim and impassioned reader responses, reached #1 on Amazon, and led (amongst other things) to a BBC Sounds interview.

ABOUT ALI SMITH AND THE BALLAD OF SPEEDBALL BABY"Ali Smith's The Ballad of Speedball Baby is a sometimes-harrowing ride poetically described in neon prose. Ali takes me to places I've been myself as a fellow 'woman of the road' and rocked and rolled. She brings it all back home so vividly with humor, originality, and love-and 'oh-yeah-that-happened-to-me-too' truthfulness. Like the touring band's rite of passage: crashing in a stranger's house in Where-am-I? USA and barely escaping with your life and bass guitar.or bartending in an East Village dive bar. It's a special experience being a Woman in Rock, and as Ali's story unfolds, she'll bring you along for the trip of your life."-- Kate Pierson, the B-52'sA Stylist Magazine (UK) Pick of Best New NonfictionA Kobo Pick of Best Book of the Month in Biographies & MemoirsThe Ballad of Speedball Baby is the thrilling, darkly hilarious, and heart-wrenchingly vulnerable story of Ali Smith's coming-of-age in '90s New York as she commits to the messy, exhilarating life of a musician and must survive the slings and arrows society reserves for women who refuse to comply.As an only child reeling from the demolition of her parents' toxic marriage, the New York City underground music scene offers a young Ali a different family of misfits and talented outsiders to belong to.She becomes the bass player for edgy band Speedball Baby, a decision that will take her around the world-from onstage at the legendary CBGBs to the red-light district of Amsterdam. She's often the only girl in a broken-down tour van, being strip-searched at the Croatian border, chased by lunatics, and navigating the seedy underbelly of a male-dominated music scene full of addiction, violence, and misogyny-all while keeping her sharp wit and dark humor intact.Rimmed with heavy black eyeliner and smelling faintly of cheap booze, The Ballad of Speedball Baby is a pulse-quickening, unpredictable ride through the '90s music scene-alternately terrifying, hilarious, and painfully evocative-as well as a love letter to the power of female solidarityALI SMITH BIOThe vibrant style Ali Smith has brought to her writing and photography-featured regularly in The New York Times, The Guardian, and other publications internationally-was forged in New York's underground music scene where she played bass in the seminal punk / blues / avant-garde band Speedball Baby.

The ideal of ‘conversation' recurs in modern thought as a symbol and practice central to ethics, democratic politics, and thinking itself. Interweaving readings of fiction and philosophy in a ‘conversational' style inspired by Stanley Cavell, Fiction, Philosophy and the Ideal of Conversation (Edinburgh UP, 2023) clarifies this lofty yet vague ideal, while developing a revitalizing model for interdisciplinary literary studies. It argues that conversation is key to exemplary responses to sceptical doubt in ordinary language and political philosophy – where scepticism threatens ethics and democratic politics – and in works of British fiction spanning from Jane Austen through Ali Smith. It shows that for these writers, conversation can shift attention from metaphysical doubts regarding our capacity to know ‘reality' and other people, to ethical, democratic, and aesthetic action. The book moreover proposes – and models – ‘conversational criticism' as a framework linking literary studies to broader political and ethical commitments, while remaining responsive to aesthetic form. Erin Elizabeth Greer is an Assistant Professor of Literature at the University of Texas at Dallas. She teaches and writes about modern and contemporary British and Anglophone literature, ordinary language philosophy, political philosophy, feminist theory, and critical new media studies. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in Contemporary Literature, JML, Camera Obscura, Salmagundi, and Stanley Cavell and Aesthetic Experience.
