If you think a trip to Brazil is an invitation to the best party ever, you are correct! Colorful, sizzling, breathtakingly beautiful, and populated with friendly people (and amazing animals), Brazil is the place for good times, good food, good drinks, and good energy. We begin with the Amazon, a vast rainforest and river teeming with magical creatures like pink dolphins, bioluminescent mushrooms, and — yes — piranhas and anacondas. (Shout-out to the friendly capybaras!) Brazil's cities offer something for everyone — the capital city of Brasília's futuristic architecture, Sao Paulo's international food scene, and Rio's seductive combo of city sights and sparkling beaches. (There's a reason we've been singing about the tall and tan, young and lovely girl from Ipanema for decades.) While you're surely ready to dance the samba and drink a few caipirinhas, did you know Brazil is also the place for award-winning cheese? Or a spring-fed pool that feels like champagne? Or ‘chestnuts from Para'? In this episode, we explore Brazil's rainforest and urban jungles, dig into the fascinating (really!) story of Brazil nuts, and meet one of the world's finest Emperors. Then we recommend five great books that took us there on the page: The Invisible Life of Euridice Gusmao by Martha Batalha, Eric M.B. Becker (translator) Ways to Disappear by Idra Novey The Silence of the Rain by Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza, Benjamin Moser (translator) Daytripper by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Bá Flesh and Bone and Water by Luiza Sauma For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit show notes.

Take our Listener Survey Benjamin Moser is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer celebrated for his in-depth studies of literary and cultural figures such as Susan Sontag and Clarice Lispector. His latest book, which details a twenty-year love affair with the Dutch masters, is one of Tyler's favorite books on art criticism ever.

(01:37) “Op 4 mei herdenken we de doden en dat doen we in stilte, bewaar je protesten voor een ander moment” zo riep Frans Timmermans op. Een breuk met de geschiedenis, want de Nationale Dodenherdenking is juist het product van protest, aldus historicus Maud van de Reijt. Ze is te gast.  (20:53) Is antizionisme hetzelfde als antisemitisme? Dat idee getuigt van weinig kennis van de Joodse geschiedenis, zo vindt de in Nederland wonende Amerikaanse historicus Benjamin Moser. Hij is te gast.   (37:29) De column van Nelleke Noordervliet  (41:10) Nadia Bouras bespreekt drie historische boeken:  Michal Citroen – Het adres.

Is antizionisme hetzelfde als antisemitisme? De laatste tijd wordt dat in ieder geval vaak beweerd. Zo werd het feit dat Lenny Kuhr door demonstranten bij haar concert werd uitgemaakt voor zionist, door velen als antisemitisch gezien. En het Amerikaanse Huis van Afgevaardigden stelde december vorig jaar al in een resolutie dat antisemitisme gelijk stond antizionisme. Maar dat idee getuigt van weinig kennis van de Joodse geschiedenis, zo vindt de in Nederland wonende Amerikaanse historicus Benjamin Moser. Want het antizionisme, dat is juist door Joden uitgevonden. Hij schreef er onlangs een stuk over voor de Washington Post, en hij is te gast vanuit Cairo.

In this episode we are listening to Benjamin Moser and Lauren Elkin discuss Ben's recent publication The Upside-Down World: Meetings with the Dutch Masters, which was recorded in October 2023, live in the bookshop. With the company of some of the finest artists known, Benjamin Moser discusses art, life, and death, with the passion of a knowledgeable guide who dismantles the hierarchical barrier that art can invoke in many of us. Benjamin Moser is a biographer and translator. His work Sontag: Her Life and Work won a Pulitzer Prize in 2020. Lauren Elkin is the author of Flaneuse: Women Walk the City in Paris, New York, Tokyo, Venice and London, and Art Monsters: Unruly Bodies in Feminist Art. Libreria wishes to thank Allen Lane and Penguin Random House for the opportunity to host this live discussion at the bookshop.

Pulitzer-Prize winning writer Benjamin Moser is the author of biographies of Susan Sontag and Claire Lispector. He'll talk to us about his most recent book, The Upside-Down World: Meetings with Dutch Masters. It's about the lives of artists like Rembrandt and Vermeer, as well as lesser known figures of the Dutch Golden Age. It's a coming of age story too; Moser spent twenty years working on the book. He was interviewed on January 18, 2024, arts critic and journalist Steven Winn interviewed Moser in the studio.

Je bent een geboren Amerikaan en op een gegeven moment beslis je om deeltijds in Nederland te gaan wonen, je nieuwe liefde achterna. En om je goed te integreren in je nieuwe vaderland besluit je om de Hollandse meesters uit de Gouden Eeuw te bestuderen. Dat is was schrijver Benjamin Moser, bekend van zijn prijswinnende Susan Sontagbiografie, heeft gedaan. In het boek 'De wereld op zijn kop' portretteert hij achttien schilders. Maar hoe goed heeft hij Nederland leren kennen? En zichzelf?

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met schrijver Benjamin Moser. Van zijn hand verscheen vorige maand het boek 'De wereld op zijn kop. Ontmoetingen met de Hollandse meesters'. Twintig jaar geleden volgde Benjamin Moser vanuit Amerika zijn geliefde, en vestigde zich in Utrecht. Om Nederland beter te begrijpen dwaalde hij door musea en kwam oog in oog te staan met de fascinerende schilders uit de Gouden Eeuw: de altijd dynamische Rembrandt, de intimiteit van Ter Borch, de mysterieuze Vermeer. Hij stuitte op vragen die deze meesters ook stelden: Waarom maken we kunst, en waarom hebben we haar nodig? Wie, en wat, is een kunstenaar? Hoe kan kunst helpen onszelf te zien, en hoe kan ze ons helpen anderen te zien? Benjamin Moser (Houston, 1976) schrijft onder meer voor Harper's Magazine en The New York Times Book Review en is redacteur van de Engelse vertalingen van het werk van Clarice Lispector. Zijn biografie Clarice Lispector stond op de shortlist van de National Book Critics' Circle Award en is internationaal jubelend ontvangen. In 2019 verschijnt zijn biografie van Susan Sontag: Sontag. Haar leven en werk.

Susan Sontag è una scrittrice, drammaturga, cineasta e attivista politica statunitense morta nel 2004, conosciuta a livello internazionale per la sua versatilità e profondità di pensiero.  “Le cose migliori, più esatte, più accurate” su Susan Sontag le ha dette... lei stessa. A sostenerlo è Benjamin Moser, lo scrittore che con la sua biografia “Sontag. Una vita“ - da meno di un mese disponibile in italiano (edizioni Rizzoli) - si è aggiudicato il Pulitzer nel 2020. Da questo spunto siamo partiti per parlare di lei in radio: in Alphaville nel nostro Dossier e a Moby Dick. Una puntata che vuole approfondire il pensiero di Susan Sontag, in particolare per quanto riguarda il suo contributo che parte dalle fotografie di guerra, per indagare il rapporto che esiste tra il dolore e la sua traslazione visiva, tra chi lo vive e chi lo osserva. D'altro lato ci vogliamo soffermare sulle relazioni di potere e sul ruolo della scrittura femminile. Nostri ospiti -che hanno letto e studiato Susan Sontag- sono :Giulio Iacòli, professore di letterature comparate all'Università di Parma. È condirettore di “Studi culturali” (per il Mulino); e dirige(con Federico Bertoni) la collana “Sagittario. Discorsi di teoria e geografia letteraria” . Fra le sue ultime pubblicazioni segnalo “ La percezione narrativa dello spazio. Teorie e rappresentazioni contemporanee” (Carrocci 2018) e il suo ultimo libro – proprio appena uscito- “ La mascolinità in gioco. Politiche delle rappresentazioni in Buzzati” (edizioni Fabrizio Sana). Annalisa Camilli, giornalista italiana che lavora per la rivista “Internazionale”. E' autrice di “La legge del mare” (Rizzoli, 2019), “Un giorno senza fine” (Ponte alle grazie, 2022), “L'ultimo bisonte” (La Nuova Frontiera, 2023) e di diversi podcast, uno dei quali dedicato a Susan Sontag. Nell'ultima mezz'ora ospiteremo Michela Marzano filosofa, nota saggista e scrittrice, autrice di numerosi saggi e articoli di filosofia morale e politica. Il suo ultimo libro si intitola “Sto ancora aspettando che qualcuno mi chieda scusa” da poco uscito per Rizzoli. A metà strada fra il romanzo e il reportage, vede al centro la tematica del consenso femminile. Un libro con il quale vogliamo anche ricordare la Giornata internazionale per l'eliminazione della violenza contro le donne, istituita dall'Assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite che ha designato il 25 novembre come data della ricorrenza.

The portraits in the National Gallery's new retrospective of the artist Frans Hals capture his informal and fresh style which contrasted with other masters like Vermeer and Rembrandt. We hear from the exhibition's curator Bart Cornelis and by the writer Benjamin Moser whose forthcoming book The Upside-Down World describes his lifelong passion for the art of what's often called the Dutch Golden Age. The enthusiasm of politicians for the spectacular U-turn has reached the cultural sphere; in Scotland the government has U-turned a U-turn in its arts funding. Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman's theatre critic and political columnist, explains what has happened and not happened and what it all means for the arts in her country. As a retrospective of her work opens at the Courtauld Gallery in London, Claudette Johnson talks to Tom Sutcliffe about her portraits of Black women, her work in the 1980s with the BLK art group and how Rembrandt and Toulouse Lautrec's approach to painting women has inspired her. And Ghosts are in the ether… an upsurge of interest in the supernatural often coincides with disruptive events like the Covid pandemic. Tom Sutcliffe is joined by Jeanette Winterson whose new book Night Side of the River tells 13 ghost stories, and by Danny Robins' whose book Into the Uncanny has just been published.

In the first in a series Liberties X Interintellect salons, Benjamin Moser joins Celeste Marcus to discuss his forthcoming book The Upside Down World. Arriving as a young writer in an ancient Dutch town, Moser was overwhelmed by the language, people, and culture. The great painters of the Dutch Golden Age —Rembrandt, Hals, and Vermeer among them— offered him entry into his strange new universe. This book is a portrait of seventeen of these artists, and of Moser's peculiar conception of each of them.

"Sontag : sa vie et son oeuvre" aux éditions Bourgeois. Entretien avec Jeremy Gadras

Today's guest is the author, Benjamin Moser, who is the biographer of not one, but two larger than life writers, one of them being the Brazilian novelist Clarice Lispector and the other being the American public intellectual, Susan Sontag. I came across Clarice Lispector when I read her last novel, The Hour of the Star, published in 1977, shortly before her death. It's got a really unusual style and a bit of a weird structure, but there was something quite fascinating about it. Benjamin Moser has not only written an excellent biography about Clarice called Why This World, but he was also appointed as the editor for a new English translation of the Complete Works by this author, which has been a major force in the revival of her work. Benjamin then went on to write a biography of Susan Sontag, published in 2019, which won the Pulitzer Prize for best biography. I'd only read one book by Susan Sontag called Against Interpretation, which is a collection of her cultural commentary essays in 1966, which firmly established her as a cultural high priestess in the U.S. for many decades. It's a brilliant book, but it has a certain prickliness. And as you will learn from Benjamin Moser's biography, Sontag: Her Life and Work, Susan, albeit brilliant and influential on public intellectual discourse was perhaps a tricky character in private. So having read both of those excellent biographies, I was curious to discuss the biographical process and genre with Benjamin Moser to understand more about how she worked, what the actual process was, and what motivated him to write these biographies.

Desde que estaba terminando sus estudios universitarios Dominique ha jugado con la idea de escribir la biografía de Carmen Balcells, una de las figuras más importantes del boom latinoamericano. Con ella conversamos sobre lo que ofrece el género biográfico a un mundo saturado por las narrativas que esgrimen las personas en redes sociales; sobre la relación que tiene una biógrafa con la figura que pretende retratar; y sobre cómo Dominique se ha transformado a raíz de su obsesión con Balcells.

Benjamin Moser, in conversation with Leon Wieseltier and Celeste Marcus, argues that translation is a form of cultural appropriation that does not appropriate nearly enough.

In the season finale, Sarah Valente sat down with Pulitzer Prize winning author Benjamin Moser, for a virtual conversation about their shared love of Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector. Ben is responsible for making Clarice widely available in translation in the English-speaking world. Because of his work, Sarah was able to organize a single author course on Clarice Lispector last spring, where American university students, for the first time in their lives, heard the name and studied the works of this beloved giant of Brazilian literature. Benjamin Moser is the author of Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector, which was a finalist for the National Book Critics' Circle Award and a New York Times Notable Book of 2009. For his work bringing Clarice Lispector to international prominence, he received Brazil's first State Prize for Cultural Diplomacy. He won a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2017, and his latest book, Sontag: Her Life and Work, won the Pulitzer Prize in 2020. This conversation was recorded on August 25, 2021.

Benjamin Moser je ameriški avtor biografij, esejist, publicist in prevajalec. Napisal je odmevno biografijo o brazilski pisateljici Clarice Lispector, za biografijo o Susan Sontag, ameriški pisateljici, cineastki, filozofinji in politični aktivistki pa je lani prejel Pulitzerjevo nagrado. Knjiga je sad sedemletnega truda in je poglobljen portret ene najvplivnejših intelektualk 20. stoletja. Moser je sicer redni sodelavec revij The New York Review of Books in The New Yorker. Benjamin Moser je pred nedavnim gostoval v ljubljanskem Cankarjevem domu in takrat je zanimivega sogovornika pred mikrofon povabila Nina Gostiša.

Philosopher and cultural critic Susan Sontag spent a lifetime thinking about the mysterious space between reality and representation, becoming one of the most influential public intellectuals of the 20th century. Benjamin Moser's acclaimed biography, Sontag: Her Life and Work captures her story with photographic complexity, leaving only a longing for Sontag's perspective on life today.

On the show this week, Chris Hedges discusses the writer and intellectual Susan Sontag with her biographer Benjamin Moser. Susan Sontag, who wrote about art, feminism, politics, celebrity, style, homosexuality, illness, fascism, and war, was that rare species in American society – an intellectual celebrity. She traveled to Cuba as a naive political pilgrim, North Vietnam during the war, now older and more skeptical, and was in Germany when the Berlin Wall was breached and eradicated as a barrier between East and West Germany. She was in Sarajevo when the city was being hit with hundreds of shells a day and under constant sniper fire from the besieging Bosnian Serbs. An average of 10 people were killed in the city daily. She achieved international notoriety, but lived an outward life of glamor and even, at the end, opulence. However, she was tortured by insecurity, plagued by a series of failed love affairs, and struggles with her own sexuality that at once animated and undermined her honesty and power as a writer. She could be cruel and vicious to her closest friends, was endowed with a haughty and suffocating arrogance, which she wielded with acerbic precision, and, despite her undeniable intellectual prowess, never achieved the depth and erudition of one of the few intellectuals she admired, Hannah Arendt. Sontag, in many ways, embodies an age now lost – one where ideas still mattered. She understood the vital importance of culture, especially in a country descending into banality and unbridled consumerism, and she fought with unmatched ferocity to protect it. She understood that a love of books, which impart the ideas, wisdom, pathos, regrets, tragedies, and glories of the past, keeps us moored and rooted in a world that is swiftly forgetting where it came from, how it got here, and where it is going. Benjamin Moser's majestic biography ‘Sontag: Her Life and Work' does what all great biographies do: it captures not only the life of an individual in unsparing honesty, but sets this life in a social, historical and culture context, illuminating one of the crucial turning points in American history.

Mit mir am Mikrofon die Journalistin Lore Kleinert und der Buchhändler Axel Stiehler. Diesmal empfehlen wir am Ende des Podcast Haruki Murakami „Erste Person Singular“, Christine Wunnicke „Die Kunst der Bestimmung“ und die Biografie über „Susan Sontag“ von Benjamin Moser. Zunächst jedoch zu Tahar Ben Jellouns Kriminalroman „Schlaflos“. Ein Drehbuchschreiber, der unter Schlafmangel leidet findet heraus, dass er besser schlafen kann, wenn er mordet. Sein erster Mord ist noch ein Gnadenakt, als er seine Mutter von ihrem Leiden erlöst. Die nächsten Morden sind dem Schlafzwang geschuldet und führen ihn immer abstrusere Begegnungen. Was mich zu der Frage bringt, gibt es sympathische Serienkiller?

We did it folks. We somehow got a Pulitzer Prize winner to go on the pod. And can I just say? Not only is my close personal friend Ben (as I call him, because of how tight we are) a Pulitzer Prize winner, he is also a PERFECT 10 (google image search him). If you don't feel like googling him let me briefly list his credentials: he wrote the DEFINITIVE biography of my soul sister (and possible friend/lover of my grandfather?? we'll get into that one next time) Clarice Lispector and translated many of her works from Portuguese into English, spurring a resurgence of interest in Lispector in the English speaking world. He also recently published the DEFINITIVE biography of Susan Sontag for which - and I would like to emphasize this again - he was awarded none other than the Pulitzer Prize. Heard of it??  Drew and I spent two hours chatting with Ben, who was calling in from his home in the French countryside (!!), and let me say it was one of our funnest recording sessions yet. I think you will like this one, listener! cheat sheet: 0:00 - Opening remarks: Drew is moving to New York City (lol); Ben was initially confused about Drew's gender; Lauren opens up about her passion for Adidas 29:20 - Ben outlines his theory of hot people in literature. How important is being hot when it comes to writing (and more importantly, getting published)? Can you tell if a hot person wrote a certain text in a blind test? How did being extremely hot benefit Lispector and Sontag? Also: Lauren and Ben bond over their shared appreciation of Knausgaard's hotness (this is the closest we get to discussing My Struggle in this episode sorry not sorry). 1:03:03 - We have a very interesting discussion about literary translation using Ben's experience translating Lispector and also one page of Lauren's grandfather's novel "Antonio" as examples. We tackle some thorny questions at the heart of translation/translation studies, most of which boil down to: is translation an art or a craft? Ben comes down on the latter side and pushes back against "tenure-track mystifications" of the work of the translation, which argues is actually pretty straightforward*. Also: some spicy takes on Sapir-Whorf. 1:37:10 - Ben encourages Drew to implement a rigorous traditional canon for his high school English class. What follows is an arch-reactionary discussion of the Canon and how good it is. Also Ben says he would cast me as the Wife of Bathe in The Canterbury Tales and I don't know whether to be offended or not because I can't remember anything that happened in there. Thank you for listening! Ben is pretty easy to find on Google and on Instagram (where he's a Beowulf influencer) but I also highly recommend his substack which I am obsessed with. It is the only substack I actually read every issue of. Impossibly erudite but also funny and accessible.  As always you can reach out to me (teixeira.lauren@gmail.com) or Drew (deohringer@gmail.com) with your questions comments and concerns. Happy to hear from you! *Here is the Iris Murdoch quote from The Sovereignty of the Good Over Other Concepts that I botched: If I am learning, for instance, Russian, I am confronted by an authoritative structure which commands my respect. The task is difficult and the goal is distant and perhaps never entirely attainable. My work is a progressive revelation of something which exists independently of me. Attention is rewarded by knowledge of reality. Love of Russian leads me away from myself towards something alien to me, something which my consciousness cannot take over, swallow up, deny or make unreal. The honesty and humility required of the student -- not to pretend to know what one does not know--is the preparation for the honesty and humility of the scholar who does not even feel tempted to suppress the fact which damns his theory.

Í Víðsjá dagsins verður sagt frá bókinni Gamlar konur detta út um glugga en hún hefur að geyma örsögur eftir rússneska rithöfundinn Danííl Kharms. Kharms fæddist í Pétursborg árið 1905 og er í seinni tíð talinn einn fremsti höfundur absúrdbókmennta í hinum vestræna heimi. Það eru þau Áslaug Agnarsdóttir og Óskar Árni Óskarsson sem þýða sögurnar, og þau verða gestir Víðsjár í dag. Þórdís Gísladóttir segir frá bókinni Mayhem: A Mamoir eftir Sigrid Rausing sem segir frá því hvernig það var að alast upp í einni af tuttugu ríkustu fjölskyldum heims sem byggði auð sinn á Tetra Pak drykkjarfernu-framleiðslu. Björn Þór Vilhjálmsson fjallar um nýútkomna ævisögu Susan Sontag eftir Benjamin Moser. Auk þess verður rifjuð verður upp 80 ára gömul ræða úr breska þinginu sem lengi verður vitnað til í sögubókum.
