Miles is joined by Carole Sweeney (Goldsmiths University, London) and Joe Darlington (Futureworks Media, Manchester) to discuss a range of authors who emerged post-World War 2, inspired by the works of the high modernists and the French Nouveau Roman. They were writing at the same time as Murdoch, but in very different modes and genres. Do they even form a real grouping? Authors discussed, or mentioned, include: Brigid Brophy, Anthony Burgess, Christine Brooke-Rose, Angela Carter, Eva Figes, B.S. Johnson, Anna Kavan, Ann Quin, Muriel Spark, as well as those in their circles, and those who published them. Joseph Darlington is the author of The Experimentalists (Bloomsbury, 2021), as well as Christine Brooke-Rose and Post-War Literature (Palgrave, 2021), and British Terrorist Novels of the 1970s (Palgrave, 2018). He was editor of BSJ: The B.S. Johnson Journal and now co-edits the Manchester Review of Books. https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/experimentalists-9781350244405/ https://www.waterstones.com/book/christine-brooke-rose-and-post-war-literature/joseph-darlington/9783030759056 Carole Sweeney is Reader in English Literature and Goldsmith University, London and focuses on the intersections of race, class, sexualities and gender in modern and contemporary literature and culture. Her first book, From Fetish to Subject: Race, Modernism and Primitivism, examined how the colonial iconography of the black body was deployed in cultural modernism and how anti-colonial and decolonising cultural movements emerged in opposition to this aesthetic racialisation. She followed up this work by publishing widely on Francophone-African writing, in particular by women writers and then by examining racism, anti-feminism and misogyny in contemporary fiction. Her most recent book Vagabond Fictions: Gender and Experiment in British Women's Literature 1945-1970 examines the evolution of feminism and sexual identity in post-war Britain. Carole's current research project is on the continuing battleground for women's bodies and sexualities in contemporary literature and culture and will include work on feminist creative criticism. https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-vagabond-fictions.html Carole and Joe both appear in this excellent collection: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-72766-6

Asylum and psychiatric institutions, obsession and heroin, and imagining a new self are explored in the writing of Anna Kavan (1901-1968). With the republication of her novel Ice, her reputation is now on the rise. Matthew Sweet is joined by critic and author Chris Power, Carole Sweeney, who researches experimental fiction, Sally Marlow, who studies the psychology of addiction and is Radio 3's researcher in residence, and the literary scholar Victoria Walker, who founded the Anna Kavan Society. Producer: Luke Mulhall You might also be interested in an episode of Words and Music curated by Sally Marlow exploring ideas about addiction and intoxication being broadcast in January. Free Thinking has a playlist called Prose, Poetry and Drama where you can find plenty of conversations about other authors including John Cowper Powys, Sylvia Plath, Claude McKay, ETA Hoffmann

Da unser Buchredakteur Daniel nicht immer nur den Neuveröffentlichungen hinterher laufen möchte, wird er zwischendurch immer mal wieder persönliche Lieblingsbücher vorstellen. Die lose Reihe beginnt mit dem Roman „Eis“ von Anna Kavan – im Original erschienen im Jahr 1967, ein Jahr vor dem Tod der Autorin. „Eis“ ist wahrlich ein kaltes, irritierendes, poetisches, manchmal brutales Buch, das zu gleichen Teilen beunruhigt und begeistert. „Eis“ gilt außerdem in gewissen Kreisen als verkannter Klassiker und Anna Kavan lange Zeit als große Unbekannte der Literaturgeschichte – die allerdings später prominente Fans wie den Science Fiction Autor J.G. Ballard und die französische Autorin Anaïs Nin. Anna Kavan heißt allerdings gar nicht wirklich Anna Kavan, sondern Helen Ferguson geborene Woods. Das war der bürgerliche Name der britischen Tochter aus gutem Hause, unter dem sie ihre ersten sechs Romane veröffentlichte. Es gab in zwei dieser Bücher jedoch eine Protagonistin, die Anna Kavan hieß – und so beschloss Ferguson nach einem Klinikaufenthalt, ihren Namen zu ändern. Als Anna Kavan veröffentlichte sie ihr zwei erfolgreichsten Bücher: das leider noch nicht übersetzte „Asylum Piece“ und eben „Eis“. Das 1967 leider ihre letzte Veröffentlichung war. Nur ein Jahr später wurde Anna Kavan tot in ihrer Wohnung in Notting Hill aufgefunden. Angeblich ätzte damals ein britischer Polizist, man hätte in der Wohnung genug Heroin gefunden, um die ganze Straße zu killen. „Eis“ ist in deutscher Sprache 2020 beim Diaphanes Verlag erschienen, die englische Ausgabe ist ein schmuckes Taschenbuch aus der eh immer guten „Penguin Modern Classics“ Reihe.

This week, the Spine Crackers read English author Anna Kavan's final novel, 1967's schizological sci-fi blizzard-dream, Ice. https://www.patreon.com/spinecrackers https://www.buymeacoffee.com/spinecrackers

Oggi parliamo di "Ghiaccio" di Anna Kavan, un libro fantascientifico e lisergico.

Name: Claire Reading: Ice, Anna Kavan Why did you want to read this? Ironically this narrative about the world turning to ice was first recommended to me via a paper napkin scribble by my best friend one hot summer day. Now, due to the oncoming bleakness of a British winter, it feels seasonally appropriate. I recommend the thrill of reading this book on its own terms, and waiting to read about Kavan's life afterwards – both are strange rides. How did you record yourself? On my sofa with my laptop, reading from my favourite edition (by "Peter Owen Cased Classics").

Welcome to episode number 17 of Anechoic Chamber - freeform commentary from the thriving margins of art and culture. Our guest for this edition is author Audrey Szasz. Currently based in London and raised in Central Europe, Szasz has been noted for writing in the mold of authors such as Anna Kavan and has claimed others such as JG Ballard and Lauetreamont as primary influences - all coming together to suggest a style that resists easy genre classification, and which builds a profoundly personal and admittedly perverse realm of fantasy and nightmare from elements of science fiction, decadent poetry, true crime writing and much more. Perhaps fitting into a class of writers that were once condemned by the literary critic Michiko Kakutani as so-called designer nihilism, Audrey's creations can often be extremely intense explorations of the psychopathology that results from humans' existence as eternal contradictions. For example, her latest work Tears of a Komsomol Girl builds its unconventional narrative around a semi-fictionalized portrait of the so-called “Butcher of Rostov,” Andrei Chikatilo. Having made her official debut with “The Plan for the Abduction of JG Ballard” - a collaborative work with the poet and author Jeremy Reed - she has now gone on to release work on the Amphetamine Sulfate and Infinity Land imprints. Our wide-ranging discussion here reveals a number of Audrey's motivations, thoughts on non-literary human affairs, and spiritual predecessors, who we touch upon in the first part of this program. backing sound piece "Negev" provided by the artist |Artist links (content may be NSFW)| audreyszasz.wordpress.com https://www.infinitylandpress.com/tearsofakomsomolgirl @szasz_audrey |Anechoic Chamber links| host: www.thomasbeywilliambailey.net Donate via paypal: tbwb@protonmail.com

Mit ihrer Sensibilität für Genderfragen und ihrem experimentellen Stil waren Ann Quin, Brigid Brophy und Anna Kavan ihrer Zeit weit voraus. Erst seit Kurzem bekommen die drei britischen Autorinnen der 1960er wieder die Aufmerksamkeit, die sie verdienen.

Our old pal Geoff Shullenberger, writer and critic extraordinaire, is back on System of Systems to discuss his new piece for American Greatness – 'How We Forgot Foucault.' In it, Geoff describes the irony in Foucault's recent dip in citations and his abandonment as a "hero of the modern left," given that during the pandemic so much of Foucault's theories on biopolitics and biopower have proven to be utterly true. We discuss the aspects of Foucault's ideas that have emerged as inconvenient to a left and liberal establishment all too eager to abandon freedom and civil rights in the name of public safety and health. Fuck them! Aside from a long-winded Foucault chat, there's lots of discussion here on Agamben, the rise of toothless, mainstreamed "anti-woke" posturing becoming the new controlled opposition, and we talk about works of art that we're into (as always). Recommendations: Geoff: Roberto Calasso 'The Ruin of Kasch' (https://www.amazon.com/Ruin-Kasch-Roberto-Calasso/dp/0674780299), Phillip Roth 'Sabbath's Theater' (https://www.amazon.com/Sabbaths-Theater-Philip-Roth/dp/0679772596) Ben: St. John Maximovitch 'The Orthodox Veneration of the Mother of God' (https://music.apple.com/us/album/nightmare/678046222?i=678046559), Bruce Wagner 'Dead Stars' (https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Stars-Novel-Bruce-Wagner-ebook/dp/B0085DP2UW) Adam: Audrey Szasz 'Tears of a Komsomol Girl' (https://www.infinitylandpress.com/tearsofakomsomolgirl), Jacques Rivette 'Out 1' (https://mubi.com/specials/jacques-rivette-out-1), Bruno Dumont 'TwentyNine Palms' (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315110/), Anna Kavan, Kentaro Miura SOUNDTRACK: Aseptic Void – "Psychosis" (https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album/psychosis) Anthony Braxton – "New York, Fall 1974" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY6AqtNShl4) System Planning Korporation "Ground Zero: Infinity Dose" (https://spkau.bandcamp.com/album/information-overload-unit) Sarcófago "Nightmare" (https://music.apple.com/us/album/nightmare/678046222?i=678046559) Links: Geoff on Foucault: https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2021/05/how-we-forgot-foucault/ Adam on Saul Fletcher and murder: https://safetypropaganda.substack.com/p/the-crime-of-saul-fletcher-by-adam

Audrey Szasz (aka Zutka) is a London-based writer with roots in Central Europe. Her experimental narratives combine vivid prose with exotic imagery and transgressive satire. Tears of a Komsomol Girl (Infinity Land Press, 2020) is her first full-length novel. She has been described alternately as ‘the postmodern heir to the disarranged novels of Anna Kavan and more closely, Ann Quin,’ and ‘a deviant genius of surreal and perverse image-play.’ Audrey’s debut in print, Plan for the Abduction of J.G. Ballard (a collaboration with Jeremy Reed) was published in 2019 via Infinity Land Press. In February 2020, Amphetamine Sulphate issued her first solo novella, Invisibility: A Manifesto. Tears of a Komsomol Girl is an experimental concept novel based on the real-life crimes of Soviet serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, who was finally executed in 1994 having been convicted of murdering 52 people between 1978 and 1990. --cash.app/$wakeisland666 —-Venmo: @wake-island666 Theme music by Joseph E.

A doozy of a book, and one where we start off the episode not agreeing on how we liked it! Charlotte Geater (@tambourine on twitter and creator of wonderful bot-based poetry) joins us again after her Rupetta episodes last December to discuss the 1960s underground classic, Ice by Anna Kavan (https://amzn.to/2PRGTth). We discuss death, addiction, patriarchy, experimental fiction, and whether there are any easy allegories in this novel (answer: no). Adrian comes to terms with not having enjoyed reading the novel—but being glad he read it.  This is a very brutal book, and if you're going to read it you might want to check out our content warnings at the 12m27s mark.  Charlotte recommended a number of stories, books, and novels to go along with Ice. Links to them all are collected below. Go to Spectology.com if the links don't show up on your podcatcher. * Excerpt of Sofia Samatar's novella, Fallow * Descriptions of Jane Gaskell's unfortunately out of print novels * Ann Quin's recently republished first novel, Berg * "The Debutant", a story by Leonora Carrington * Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry by BS Johnson * Sylvia Townsend Warner's The Kingdoms of Elfin * Comet in Moominland by Tove Jansson * The Weird Tales podcast reads Lord Dunsany --- As always, we'd love to hear from you!

Welcome to a very special pre-read episode. This December, Matt, Adrian, and a series of guests are reading 3 separate works of "classic" SF and talking about them & what makes them a "classic". The works will be: * Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke (https://amzn.to/35WGICa)  * Ice by Anna Kavan (https://amzn.to/33CEfes)  * Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand by Samuel R. Delany (https://amzn.to/2RdBTAk)  Each book (& author) has had an large influence on modern SF, and we'll talk about that in those respective episodes over the course of this month. In this episode, we dive deep into our own history of reading SF, with an eye towards the golden age. How did we get into SF, which authors did we first find that spoke to us, how did we find new authors & books, and why was so-called "classic" SF such an outsized influence on two kids growing up in the 90s and 00s? In addition, we have a discussion on the problematic nature of a lot of these books and authors. Is it still worth reading something you like knowing what we know now about the books & the people behind them? How might different people have different answers to that question? How do we, specifically, choose books to read for this podcast? It's a difficult but hopefully enlightening conversation.  We'll be off the 2nd week of December, and then back the final 3 Tuesdays of the month with a separate episode on each of these books.  --- As always, we'd love to hear from you! Chat with us on twitter at @spectologypod, send us an email at spectologypod@gmail.com, or submit the episode to r/printSF on reddit. We'll reply, and shout you out in the next podcast when we talk about your comment.

To celebrate having been at the podcast for one full year, Matt & Adrian are joined by Kevin Kelsey of Heradas.com as we make our most self-indulgent pick yet: Dark Eden, by Chris Beckett (https://amzn.to/2TRcpX0). Join us for a somewhat self-reflective episode on why this is one of our favorite books, and why we think everyone should read it. It has linguistics, it has sociology, it has long time scales, it has survival in a harsh world, it has society building, it has a page-turning story, and it is probably the book we've mentioned the most on this podcast without actually reading and talking about it in its own episodes. Kevin joins us to help us ground the conversation for folks who haven't read the book yet, and in a few weeks we'll all three dig into the rich thematic depth of this novel. Some other works mentioned include: - Chris's Q&A on the SF Book Club subreddit - Chris on his history being labeled disabled - NK Jemisin's review of Dark Eden in the NY Times - Review by a juror on the Arthur C. Clarke award- Our own episodes on Children of Time, Romie Futch, Gnomon, & Semiosis - Ice by Anna Kavan - The Helliconia Trilogy by Brian Aldiss - Lord of the Flies by William Golding - And if you're in the UK, pre-order Beckett's new book, Beneath the World, A Sea  (As always, links are at spectology.com if they don't show up in your podcatcher.)  --- We'd love to hear from you, either by chatting with us on twitter at @spectologypod, sending us an email at spectologypod@gmail.com, or submitting the episode to r/printSF on reddit.

Anna Kavan’s Ice was originally published in 1967 by Peter Owen books. The book is Kavan’s final and best known work, and appeared just one year before her death. In the aftermath of a nuclear war, society is rapidly crumbling as a wall of ice threatens to engulf the entire planet. Our unnamed narrator roams through this barren, frozen wasteland in pursuit of a young girl with a halo of hair as bright as spun glass; his designs on her are decidedly sinister. The novel proceeds with the torturous, cyclical quality of an inescapable nightmare in which the reader is cocooned. Over the course of the episode, we discuss the extent to which Kavan's heroin addiction influenced the novel, consider the novels place in the tradition of post-apocalyptic fiction, and explore the unique brutality of the novel's narrator.
