The perfect childhood and the failure of utopian experiments in living in Edwardian England were explored by AS Byatt in her 2009 novel The Children's Book. In this conversation with Matthew Sweet recorded in that year, they discuss her writing life, mythologising childhood and her meetings with Iris Murdoch, about whom she wrote two critical studies. A lecturer in English literature, AS Byatt's books drew on a wide range of reading and visiting art galleries and museums. In 1990 she won the Booker prize for her novel Possession. You can find other conversations with writers on the Free Thinking programme website in a collection called Prose, Poetry and Drama

Thomas Guthrie and “The Alehouse Boys” bring the music of Schubert to pubs with their new album Schubert's Die schöne Müllerin. Their arrangements of Schubert's song cycle intend to break free from the formality of established lieder recitals, returning to its original improvisational form. In the last of our Booker shortlist series this week, Samira interviews Canadian 2023 Giller Prize-winning novelist Sarah Bernstein.

Anna Nadotti"Premio Cesare Pavese"https://fondazionecesarepavese.it/Anna NadottiLettrice per passione e per professione, traduttrice, editor, e consulente Einaudi per le letterature anglofone. Ha curato, tra altre, la traduzione delle opere di AS Byatt (a quattro mani con Fausto Galuzzi), di Anita Desai, di Amitav Ghosh, di Hisham Matar, di Rachel Cusk, di Tash Aw; la traduzione di Carne, di Ruth Ozeki, e di Romanzieri ingenui e sentimentali di Orhan Pamuk. Per Einaudi ha curato una nuova traduzione della Signora Dalloway e di Gita al Faro, di Virginia Woolf. Sta ora traducendo The Shadow King, di Maaza Mengiste, shortlisted per il Booker Prize 2020. Scrive per varie testate. Collabora con la Scuola Holden di Torino. Ha ricevuto il Premio AVA per la Cultura, Venezia 2013.Motivazione del Premio Cesare Pavese, per la traduzione:Anna Nadotti traduce da più di 30 anni: lunghissimo, quindi, è l'elenco degli autori di cui è la voce italiana. Ha legato strettamente il suo nome, in particolare, ad alcuni scrittori di cui ha tradotto tutta l'opera, specie per gli editori Einaudi e Neri Pozza: all'indiano Amitav Gosh; all'inglese Antonia Byatt, autrice del celebre Possessione; alla grande scrittrice indiana Anita Desai; all'anglo-libico Hisham Matar, l'autore de Il Ritorno; alla canadese Rachel Cusk, di cui è in uscita da Einaudi l'ultimo libro. Last but not least, a Virginia Woolf, di cui ha ritradotto Mrs Dalloway e Gita al faro. Ma il Premio Pavese per la traduzione non è un semplice premio alla carriera, e non omaggia la semplice quantità di energie spese, bensì la qualità dei risultati raggiunti nel proporsi come modello sia di arte, sia di mestiere. Mestiere nel senso pavesiano di lavoro ben fatto, raggiunto con fatica, come unico mezzo per fare arte, letteratura, poesia. Anna Nadotti questa qualità, la rappresenta pienamente. Dalla sua penna, o tastiera, esce una lingua “soave”. Impeccabile. Spasmodicamente precisa. La preparazione con cui si avvicina ai suoi autori è assoluta ed esemplare: un'immersione totale, spesso non solo virtuale ma anche reale, nei mondi che deve tradurre, siano essi Londra o Calcutta. E non solo oggettiva, documentaria, ma anche soggettiva, sensoriale. Per non perdere nessun riferimento, nessuna sfumatura; per immergersi nei suoni, negli odori, nei paesaggi, nelle luci. Una sorta di metodo Stanislavskij della traduzione. Ogni lavoro di Anna Nadotti è un vero e proprio incontro di mondi, tra inevitabile distanza e appassionata riappropriazione. Noi lettori tutte queste cose non le sappiamo, ma stiamone certi: le leggiamo. A lei dunque il Premio Pavese per la traduzione 202IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Professor Clare Bryant from Cambridge’s Department of Veterinary Medicine explains how reading AS Byatt’s Possession at a crucial point in her early career reminded her of the excitement of research and persuaded her not to turn her back on her life as a scientist. Here she talks about this favourite book as part of ‘Novel Thoughts’, a series exploring the literary reading habits of eight Cambridge scientists. From illustrated children’s books to Thomas Hardy, from Star Wars to Middlemarch, we find out what fiction has meant to each of the scientists and peek inside the covers of the books that have played a major role in their lives. ‘Novel Thoughts’ was inspired by research at St Andrew’s University by Dr Sarah Dillon (now a lecturer in the Faculty of English at Cambridge) who interviewed 20 scientists for the ‘What Scientists Read’ project. She found that reading fiction can help scientists to see the bigger picture and be reminded of the complex richness of human experience. Novels can show the real stories behind the science, or trigger a desire in a young reader to change lives through scientific discovery. They can open up new worlds, or encourage a different approach to familiar tasks.

As the British Library launches a website devoted to writers' notebooks and manuscripts, Discovering Literature, novelist Lawrence Norfolk takes a look at his own notebooks, and talks to AS Byatt, John Cooper Clarke and David Mitchell about theirs. He's joined in the studio by Wendy Cope, Bidisha, and Rachel Foss of the British Library for a discussion about notebooks, creativity, and how the digital age might be changing literature.

With Kirsty Lang. Oh What a Lovely War, Joan Littlewood's controversial musical satire about the First World War, is being revived in its original home, the Theatre Royal Stratford East. The 1963 production, which Littlewood intended would mock 'the vulgarity of war', was loved by audiences, but detested by some who saw its message as unpatriotic. Critic and historian Kathryn Hughes reviews the production and considers whether the play has the same impact today. After the success of the 'Child 44' trilogy, author Tom Rob Smith has just published a somewhat different type of crime novel. 'The Farm' is a psychological thriller, set in Sweden and England, which keeps the reader guessing throughout. He reveals how the main premise for the novel was inspired by a real life event very close to home. The first series of the television drama, Line Of Duty, found many fans for its study of police corruption. The writer, Jed Mercurio, has now written a second series with a new police officer, Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton played by Keeley Hawes, under investigation. The writer MJ Hyland reviews. How best to translate a novel is a perennial question, but some authors whose works have been published in China have also found the stories themselves being censored. Kirsty hears from journalist Jonathan Fenby and from literary-translation rights specialist Jenny Robson - and US based crime-writer Qiu Xiaolong and Booker Prize winner AS Byatt relate their two very different experiences. Producer: Rebecca Armstrong.

Aleks Krotoski looks at whether how we tell stories has changed with the digital world. And it looks like it has much more to do with our distant past that we might think. She begins by looking at the online phenomena of the Slender Man a supernatural figure that's been appearing in pictures, blogs and YouTube movies since 2009 and is described as the first great myth of the web. Aleks speaks to AS Byatt to understand what story is for before examining how modern online storytelling bears a striking resemblance to oral traditions of medieval times. To see this in action she explores the growth of the Slender Man myth and how its community based evolution mimics how legends grew in the past. But for many of these stories they still don't make the most of what the digital world has to offer storytellers. For this Aleks turns to Alison Norrington one of the world's leading proponents of trans-media stories.

As part of Radio 3's Music on the Brink, Free Thinking takes the cultural temperature of Paris, Berlin, London, St Petersburg and Vienna in the years leading up to the First World War. The novelist AS Byatt, the film expert Neil Brand and the cultural historians Alexandra Harris and Philipp Blom have chosen artworks and artefacts from the period and will use them to explore, with Anne McElvoy, the ideas and spirit of the European capital cities on the brink of World War 1.

With Mark Lawson.Tom Hanks reflects on saying no to film offers, playing real people, and his latest role in Captain Phillips, which depicts the ordeal of Richard Phillips, captain of a cargo ship taken hostage by Somali pirates in 2009. Captain Phillips is directed by Paul Greengrass (United 93, The Bourne Supremacy).It was announced today that Alice Munro has been awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize for Literature. AS Byatt and Hermione Lee discuss the Canadian author, who writes short stories rather than novels.And Mark talks to the American artist Dana Schutz, whose colourful and fantastical paintings are on show at The Hepworth gallery in Wakefield.Producer Timothy Prosser.

This month in a very special edition, we’re celebrating that most English of novelists Jane Austen. It’s two hundred years this month since the publication of Pride and Prejudice and we’ve invited bestselling British novelist and Jane Austen aficionado PD James, along with Anglo-Pakistani writer Moni Mohsin, also a great Austen fan and from Australia Susannah Fullerton, President of the Australian Jane Austen Society, all here to share with us their passion for this much loved classic English novel. We’ll also be hearing from other writers from around the world – AS Byatt, Colm Toibin, Nii Parkes, Kamila Shamsie, to name a few, why the razor-sharp wit of Elizabeth Bennet and the cool hauteur of the gorgeous Mr Darcy are still drawing in more readers than ever across the globe in the twenty-first century. Susannah Fullerton is the author of Happily Ever After: Celebrating Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Image: Jane Austen, Credit: Hulton Archive/Getty Images

Penelope Fitzgerald looks at the world anew in her short story ‘At Hiruharama', says AS Byatt

Penelope Fitzgerald looks at the world anew in her short story ‘At Hiruharama', says AS Byatt

Andrew Marr talks to Colm Toibin about the ways writers write about families, and also the impact of their own often dysfunctional relationships - from Thomas Mann and WB Yeats, to the nightmares of John Cheever's journals. In her novel, The Children's Book, AS Byatt explored how far a writing mother can harm her children, and yet she argues that she'd prefer to know nothing about a writer's private life. The novelist Will Eaves mined his own family background for his latest book, but insists it's more a work of imagination, than memoir. And it's these relationships, and culture, that are the key to the success of our species, rather than consciousness, language and intelligence, according to the evolutionary biologist Mark Pagel. Producer: Katy Hickman.
