Podcast appearances and mentions of Annie Proulx

Our Gray's Sporting Journal conversation continues.  Editor Mike Floyd shares knowledge on this literary magazine.  It is published seven times each year celebrating hunting and fishing.  Plus, poetry, long form features, & detailed photos.  Ray Matthews (a friend of the Carolina Outdoors) has had articles published along with Annie Proulx, Pete Fromm, & C.B. Bernard.  The choices are usually made by a "blind reader" format with a bow towards some of the best writers in the outdoor world.

Við lítum inn á Hlöðuloftið á Korpúlfsstöðum. Þar opnaði um helgina ný sýning á vegum Félags íslenskra myndlistarmanna. Sýningin ber titilinn Hinn mildi vefur kynslóðanna, og er fyrsta sýningarverkefni FÍM um nokkurt skeið. Birta Guðjónsdóttir sér þar um sýningarstjórn. Við ræðum við hana í þætti dagsins. Nína Hjálmarsdóttir rýnir í leikritið Fjallabak sem byggir á smásögu Annie Proulx og kvikmynd Ang Lee, Brokeback mountain, en Valur Freyr Einarsson leikstýrir leiksýningunni sem frumsýnd var fyrir rúmri viku í Borgarleikhúsinu. Við grípum einnig niður í útvarpsþætti sem Magnús Þór Jónsson, Megas, vann fyrir ríkisútvarpið hér á árum áður en hann fagnar í dag 80 ára afmæli.

Across the federal government, the number of federal workers fired under Donald Trump and DOGE currently stands at over a hundred thousand. Some of those workers have turned to a website called We the Builders. It was created by federal workers associated with the U.S. Digital Service as a resource for employees who have lost their jobs, who are afraid of losing their jobs, or who have a whistleblower complaint.  The Radio Hour's Adam Howard spoke with two of the site's creators: Kate Green, who recently left the federal government for a job in the private sector, and a web developer who identifies himself as Milo – using a pseudonym, since he is still employed in the government.  “Both the beauty and the tragedy is that the work the government does is largely invisible,” as Milo put it. “You don't always know that it is USDA inspectors who are working in the slaughterhouses, who are making sure that work is being done in a safe and sanitary fashion … But they give a damn about making sure that food is safe. If that goes away, that's not immediately visible to people. And they don't necessarily know that these people have lost their jobs or that food is going to be less safe until people get hurt or worse. And so, we want to make sure that people start to understand what the cuts in these programs actually mean.”Plus, this year, The New Yorker's centennial, we're revisiting some classics from the magazine's past with a series called Takes. The novelist Michael Cunningham was already in his forties when Annie Proulx's short story “Brokeback Mountain”—about two young men working as shepherds who unexpectedly fall in love—was published. “The New Yorker was not the first big-deal magazine to run a story about gay people. It wasn't, like, ‘Oh, my God, a story, finally!,' ” Cunningham recalls. But it made a huge impression nevertheless. “It was a story in The New Yorker about two gay men that was first and foremost a love story. . . . I didn't want to just read it; I wanted to absorb this story in a more lasting way.”  Excerpts of Annie Proulx's “Brokeback Mountain” were read by Monica Wyche.

Red Széll reminds us exactly how books hold the power to provoke, challenge, and inspire. He tributes John Steinbeck's remarkable literary influence in The Grapes of Wrath, explains how Of Mice and Men still resonates today, and credits the role of fiction in shaping our understanding of humanity.Plus, Jacob Shymanski sifts through the noise and gives us the goods on this week's AMI Audiobook Review Best Sellers Breakdown.

Arrancamos el magazine con una larga conversación que mantuvimos hace unas semanas en Denia con el escritor Manuel Vicent. La degustamos como si fuera un licor muy caro, a sorbitos. Hoy distinguimos entre la nostalgia y la melancolía, y aprendemos a percibir cómo los pequeños detalles de un recuerdo pueden convertir una evocación en gran literatura.Además, Adolfo García Ortega, Lucía Lijtmaer y los oyentes hablan de los libros y las películas que suelen volver a ver o a leer. Desfilan por la sección desde Derrida a "Tiburón", de Kazuo Ishiguro a "El Guateque", de Donald Sutherland al espíritu de los 90, de "El bosque infinito" de Annie Proulx a "Los detrozos" de Brett Easton Ellis.

Moore haben auf Schriftsteller schon immer eine besondere Faszination ausgeübt. Auch die kanadisch-amerikanische Autorin Annie Proulx ist solch eine Moorliebhaberin. Allerdings hat sie ihre Begeisterung nicht in einen Roman verwandelt, sondern diesmal in ein ungewöhnliches Sachbuch voller wissenschaftlicher Fakten und Geschichten. Rezension von Johannes Kaiser. Aus dem Amerikanischen von Thomas Gunkel Luchterhand Verlag, 253 Seiten, 24 Euro ISBN 978-3-630-87726-6

Steven Van Ammel (1976) is boekhandelaar. Hij werkt in boekhandel Passa Porta in de Dansaertstraat in Brussel. Daar programmeerde hij jarenlang ook het Passa Porta Festival, waar geregeld wereldberoemde auteurs naartoe komen. Hij schrijft columns voor De Standaard en maakte voor die krant een reeks waarin hij vakantiejob ging doen bij boekhandels in binnen-en buitenland. Ik ging bij Steven thuis langs in Hemiksem. In een huis met letterlijk overal boeken. In deze podcast vertelt hij hoeveel boeken er in zijn huis staan. Want hij kent het aantal. Hij vertelt over de schrijvers die zijn gidsen waren in de literatuur, over zijn eigen antiquariaat in Antwerpen, dat geen groot succes was, over het grappigste boek dat hij kent. Het gaat over de schrijver met wie hij krabsla at in Brussel, en over de avond dat de wereldberoemde Amerikaanse schrijfster Annie Proulx hem uitnodigde op haar appartement.

Step into a world of impactful theatre as we unpack the latest podcast episode. We kick things off with Grenfell: in the words of survivors at the National Theatre. This powerful verbatim play draws directly from the testimonies of the residents at the heart of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. With six years passed since the devastating event, the interviews with survivors and bereaved individuals lay bare the shocking impact of the failures that led to this national disaster. Gillian Slovo masterfully weaves these voices into a narrative that raises urgent questions about prevention and justice. Co-directed by Phyllida Lloyd and Anthony Simpson-Pike, the play delves into the resilience of a community fighting for justice, forming part of the National Theatre's ongoing creative engagement with North Kensington.Switching gears, we dive into the sensational world of Horrible Histories: Terrible Tudors. Back by popular demand for a second year, this West End hit brings history to life in a hilariously gruesome manner. From the notorious Henries to the treacherous reign of Elizabeth, audiences are treated to legends, lies, and the nastiest bits of the torturous Tudors. Prepare for headless wives, punch-ups with the Pope, Bloody Mary, and even surviving the Spanish Armada. It's a history lesson with a twist that's sure to keep you entertained and educated.Lastly, we delve into the world premiere of Brokeback Mountain, a poignant new play with music based on Annie Proulx's acclaimed short story. Under the direction of Jonathan Butterell, the production stars Broadway and silver screen names Mike Faist and Lucas Hedges, both making their West End debuts. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of 1963 Wyoming, where Ennis and Jack's lives are forever altered by their time working on Brokeback Mountain. Dan Gillespie Sells' emotionally charged Country and Western songs beautifully underscore this tale of forbidden love and its heartrending consequences over two decades. The production also features the remarkable Eddi Reader and her onstage Country and Western band, adding an additional layer of musical depth.Get ready to immerse yourself in these thought-provoking and captivating theatrical experiences in the latest episode.

Book Chat is back, and episode 7 pits a Pulitzer-winning author against a Nobel-winning author. But not really: in the battle of the Annies whose name ends in ‘X', both Bobby and Pandora are winners. Discussing Close Range by Annie Proulx, Bobby feels the need to make apologies for the unapologetic bleakness of rural Wyoming – while Pandora is transported back to the excruciating experience of Catholic boarding school girlhood in Annie Ernaux's A Girl's Story.You can get in touch bookchatpod@gmail.comSound by Joel Grove and production by Pandora SykesBooks/articles mentioned:Close Range and The Shipping News by Annie ProulxA Girl's Story, The Years, A Man's Place, A Woman's Story, Happening, Getting Lost and Simple Passion by Annie ErnauxThe Storied Life of A.J.

We celebrate Pride Month by looking back almost twenty years at a groundbreaking film. Ashley, Matt & Ryan discuss Brokeback Mountain in our latest retrospective episode.

Brokeback Mountain on stage: musician and librettist Dan Gillespie Sells discusses writing the songs for a new stage production of Brokeback Mountain, adapted from Annie Proulx's short story about the romance between two men working as sheep herders in 1960s Wyoming. Venice Architecture Biennale: the exhibition at the British Pavilion this year draws on traditions practised by different diaspora communities in the UK - such as Jamaicans playing dominoes and Cypriots cooking outside - and explores how they occupy space, so this can be included in planning the built environment. Two of the curators, Meneesha Kellay and Joseph Henry, discuss how architecture goes beyond buildings and economic structures. Plus art generates art in Malaysian novelist Tan Twan Eng's new book The House of Doors, inspired in part by the life of William Somerset Maugham and the stories he wrote drawing on his travels in Malaysia. Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe Producer: Julian May

In her debut short story collection, Sidle Creek (Melville House, 2023), Jolene McIlwain skillfully interrogates the myths and stereotypes of the mining, mill, and farming towns where she grew up. With stories that take place in diners and dive bars, town halls and bait shops, McIlwain's writing explores themes of class, work, health, and trauma, and the unexpected human connections of small, close-knit communities. All the while, the wild beauty of the natural world weaves its way in, a source of the town's livelihood – and vulnerable to natural resource exploitation. With an alchemic blend of taut prose, gorgeous imagery, and deep sensitivity for all of the living beings within its pages, Sidle Creek will sit snugly on bookshelves between Annie Proulx, Joy Williams, and Louise Erdrich.

Blacksburg Books in Blacksburg, Virginia, opened its doors in the summer of 2021, filling a much-needed void in the college town as the city's only independent bookstore. Owner Laurie Kelly and manager Ellen Woodall are here this week to tell us all about the shop. Books We Talk About: Shit Cassandra Said by Gwen E. Kirby, City of Orange by David Yoon, The Employees by Olga Ravn, The Field Guide to Stupid Birds of North America by Matt Kracht, The Kudzu Queen by Mimi Herman, plus these books we chatted about outside the show -- Smilla's Sense of Snow by Peter Hoeg, She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb, The Shipping News by E. Annie Proulx, and The Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller.

One of our favorite episodes: where we get to talk about literary greats like Cormac McCarthy, Annie Proulx, Colson Whitehead, and Amor Towles... along with discussions of masculine nature vs the reality of male nurturing. We also try to get to the bottom of why it is so important for men to navigate ventilation vents with shower rods or why it is paramountto always check your loose cash for transmitters.

Brokeback Mountain is a 2005 American neo-Western romantic drama film directed by Ang Lee and produced by Diana Ossana and James Schamus. Adapted from the 1997 short story of the same name by Annie Proulx, the screenplay was written by Ossana and Larry McMurtry. The film stars Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, and Michelle Williams and depicts the complex romantic relationship between two American cowboys, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, in the American West from 1963 to 1983. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brokeback_Mountain

Pulitzer Prize winning-author Annie Proulx tells Leila Fadel that she learns by writing. So when she wanted to better understand the wetlands – and how they're being affected by the climate crisis – she dove into nonfiction. Her new book, Fen, Bog & Swamp, does not concern itself with how the natural world serves humans, but rather how it serves itself.

Pulitzer Prize winning American author Annie Proulx talks to Kathryn about her latest book, Fen, Bog and Swamp. The 87 year old writes about the history of wetland destruction and the role it plays in the climate crisis and says swamps can protect against climate change if we only let them. The non fiction work presents the case for ignoring wetland destruction at our peril. The Shipping News and Brokeback Mountain are among Annie Proulx's most well known works of fiction, both which were made into movies.

For today's COBT, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Liberty Energy CEO Chris Wright. Chris is a fascinating energy mind - his background includes MIT and UC Berkeley mechanical and electrical engineering degrees as well as a broad-based life-long passion for all forms of energy. He was an early shale pioneer and today is Chairman and CEO of Liberty. Chris also dedicates a significant amount of his time talking to policymakers globally about what he feels are the choices society should be making in energy. For the second year, Chris has helped drive the Liberty ESG report to be not just a report on Liberty but more broadly an analysis of energy ESG globally. It's absolutely worth your time and very digestible.  As you will hear, Chris lays out the three global challenges that he sees for energy and environmental policies including solving energy poverty globally (replacing wood and dung with clean cooking fuels could save 2 to 3 million people from death annually), pushing towards reliable and affordable energy systems with minimal environmental impact, and addressing climate change thoughtfully. As we discuss these objectives, you will hear us touch on a broad range of issues and factors. When discussing what the world of energy looks like in ten years, Chris had a really great and unique answer (and goal): "net zero poverty by 2050." It was a stimulating and exciting session with Chris today and we can't thank him enough for joining us.In our upfront discussion,  Mike Bradley summed up bond, commodity and equity performance from the past week and the loud reactions to the recent OPEC+ meeting. Colin Fenton highlighted an important update from the London Metals Exchange concerning Russian metal exports and shared his takeaways from Annie Proulx's new book, " Fen, Bog and Swamp."  Ryan Zorn, Veriten's Senior Contributor, also joined and asked for Chris's “energy discussion forecast” beyond the elections. Thanks to you all. We hope you enjoy as much as we did!

**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS** On this episode of Film is Lit, Laura and Danny discuss the film that ALMOST took home the 2006 Best Picture Oscar, Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain," based on the 1997 tragic love short story of the same name, written by Annie Proulx. The hosts talk about everything from gay representation in film, to toxic masculinity, to the beautiful landscape of Wyoming (or in the movie's case, Alberta, lolz). While the adapted screenplay by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana managed to take home an Oscar, the two all-timer performances by Jake Gyllenhaal and the late Heath Ledger were sadly snubbed.

46. Writers in Pakistan & India (part 1): Awais Khan, Amitav Ghosh & Vikram Chandra join presenters Paul Waters & Stevyn Colgan on the We'd Like A Word books & authors podcast, with insights into how they write, advice for new authors & books they love. Awais Khan, from Lahore in Pakistan, is the author of two novels - In The Company of Strangers (published by Simon & Schuster India, & soon to be published in the UK by Hera) & No Honour (published by Orenda Books - we had the publisher Karen Sullivan on a previous hilarious and revealing episode of We'd Like A Word). In The Company of Strangers is being made into a feature for Pikchur TV online streaming service. Awais is also the founder of The Writing Institute in Lahore. Awais talks agents, Annette Crossland, overcoming discouragement, how to schedule your writing, Jackie Collins, how to be socially relevant, the problem of counterfeit books in Pakistan, if you can be a writer while holding down a day job, his experience of The Faber Academy, Liberty Books, the Indian/Pakistan trade embargo, forced marriage & so-called honour killings, and the Edhi Foundation. We also hear about comic novels and Steve's Dad - also an author & a friend of Daphne du Maurier. Amitav Ghosh is the renowned Indian author of the Sea of Poppies trilogy & more recently, Jungle Nama. His writing advice is to write the book you would love to read yourself, or that would make you laugh or cry. He recommends Barkskins by Annie Proulx. Vikram Chandra is most famous for writing Sacred Games, which was made into the extremely popular Netflix series of the same name. He advises new authors to follow their obsessions & ignore the received wisdom that you should write what you know. On the contrary, he says you should write what you do not know, what obsesses you. He recommends Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff. We'd Like A Word is a podcast & radio show from authors Paul Waters & Stevyn Colgan. We talk with writers, readers, editors, agents, celebrities, talkers, poets, publishers, booksellers, audiobook creators about books - fiction & non-fiction. We go out on various radio & podcast platforms. Our website is http://www.wedlikeaword.com for information on Paul & Steve & our guests. We're also on Twitter @wedlikeaword & Facebook @wedlikeaword & our email is wedlikeaword@gmail.com Yes, we are embarrassed by the missing apostrophes.

And if you're still stuck for something to read, may we recommend Blackwatertown by Paul Waters or Cockerings (the new comic classic, just out) by Stevyn Colgan.

Both Jude and John agree that it's high time, and a distinct pleasure, to dedicate one of our "Dealer's Choice" episodes to a female writer - in this case, the esteemed and unique American author Annie Proulx. For those new to the show, a Dealer's Choice episode is when your humble hosts choose a writer whose work means a lot to us, and is well worth recommending, and taking an in-depth look at their entire oeuvre. One of us first came to Proulx's work through her most famous novel (The Shipping News), one through her acclaimed series of stories set in Wyoming, but it didn't take either of us long to count ourselves as dedicated members of the Annie Proulx fan club. What makes her work unique, valuable, fascinating and worth your time? That is what we aim to unpack in Episode 46 of the Book XChange podcast. Whether you've read several of her books or know nothing about her, this is an episode - and a writer - not to be missed. (You're gonna have to trust your favorite book-loving brothers on this one.)

What is with the human family's fascination with MONSTERS and supernatural creatures? We try to unpack that perennial question and topic of interest in Episode 45 of America's favorite double-barreled books and reading podcast, The Book XChange. The Brothers Lovell reach deep back into the past with classics like "Frankenstein" and "Beowulf," but also mention some of our favorite modern-day contributions to the conversation. Along the way we talk about how monsters reflect darker parts of the human psyche, why the line between "man" and "monster" is sometimes blurry, and the astounding imagination/erudition of a 19-year-old girl. Though this topic may not be for everyone, those who appreciate a good monster tale will find a feast here that they can really sink their claws, tentacles, or teeth into. Thanks to all of our listeners, as always, for keeping this party rolling! -J & J MUSIC BY YOUNG WOLF, VOIDZ PANDA BOOKS DISCUSSED/MENTIONED/RECOMMENDED IN THIS EPISODE: What Jude is currently reading/plans to read next: 'Fine Just the Way It Is: Wyoming Stories 3,' Annie Proulx - 'Bird Cloud,' Annie Proulx; 'A Visit to the Goon Squad,' Jennifer Egan - What John is currently reading/plans to read next: 'The Shipping News,' Annie Proulx - 'Akenfield: A Portrait of an English Village,' Ronald Blythe - Books/Writers discussed in this episode: 'Pardon My Fangs,' Elizabeth Starr Hill - 'Frankenstein: Or, The Modern Prometheus,' Mary Shelley - Various works of H.
