John Wray is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Whiting Award, he was named as one of the Best Young American Novelists in 2007. He's just published his 6th novel, 'Gone to the Wolves'. It's the story of high school outcasts, making their pilgrimage from their small town in Florida, to the famed Hollywood Strip, and off to Norway (enter blackened death metal). Along their vision quest, these teens experience mystery, loss and love, all in the name of music, littered with feelings that feel anything but fiction.We talk about why themes of punk run through his work, and why he's always keen to switch up the genre. You can hear why he writes to hide, how his view of his work changes through the drafts, and why his writing routine has changed since he was working almost homeless in a friends basement.For 10% off Plottr, head to go.plottr.com/routineSupport the show at patreon.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Joshua Cohen reimagines a meeting between two giants of 20th century Judaism as debate about the Jewish destiny. 2021 National Jewish Book Award and 2022 Pulitzer Prize Winner, The Netanyahus: An Account of a Minor and Ultimately Even Negligible Episode in the History of a Very Famous Family Corbin College, not quite upstate New York, winter 1959–1960: Ruben Blum, a Jewish historian—but not an historian of the Jews—is co-opted onto a hiring committee to review the application of an exiled Israeli scholar specializing in the Spanish Inquisition. When Benzion Netanyahu shows up for an interview, family unexpectedly in tow, Blum plays the reluctant host to guests who proceed to lay waste to his American complacencies. Mixing fiction with nonfiction, the campus novel with the lecture, The Netanyahus is a wildly inventive, genre-bending comedy of blending, identity, and politics that finds Joshua Cohen at the height of his powers. Joshua Cohen was born in 1980 in Atlantic City. His books include the novels The Netanyahus, Moving Kings, Book of Numbers, Witz, A Heaven of Others, and Cadenza for the Schneidermann Violin Concerto; the short fiction collection Four New Messages,and the non-fiction collection Attention: Dispatches from a Land of Distraction. Called "a major American writer" by the New York Times, "maybe America's greatest living writer" by the Washington Post, and "an extraordinary prose stylist, surely one of the most prodigious at work in American fiction today" by the New Yorker, Cohen was awarded Israel's 2013 Matanel Prize for Jewish Writers, and in 2017 was named one of Granta's Best Young American Novelists. He lives in New York City.
Lauren Groff is a two-time National Book Award finalist and the author of four novels and two collections of short stories. The relatively young author gathered major attention for her novel Fates and Furies – from literary awards to a nod from President Barack Obama. Her newest novel, Matrix, imagines the life of Marie du France, a medieval writer who became France's first woman poet. Her work regularly appears in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and elsewhere, and she was named one of Granta's 2017 Best Young American Novelists. On April 12, 2022, Lauren Groff came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk about Matrix with Isabel Duffy. The two also discussed the utterly unique way in which Groff writes her novels. After copious research, she writes a complete first draft, tosses that away without reviewing it, writes a new draft, and repeats the process again. With Matrix, she went through eight full drafts before arriving at the final version.
Anthony Doerr spannt in seinem neuesten Roman „Wolkenkuckucksland“ außerordentlich ambitionierte kompositorische, temporale und inhaltliche Bögen. Die Geschichte handelt von allgemeinmenschlichen, generationenübergreifenden Themen wie Macht, Liebe, Integrität und Hoffnung – und nimmt sowohl historisch als auch geographisch einen enormen Raum ein. Die Exposition führt Lesende nach Konstantinopel im Jahr 1453; in eine Bibliothek in Idaho in den 1940er und 50er Jahren – und in ein Raumschiff in der Zukunft, auf dem Weg zu einem Exoplaneten. Das mag auf den ersten Blick nach viel, verworren und verwirrend klingen. Allerdings geht Doerr so sorgfältig und geschickt an seine Figuren und sein Material ran, dass die Lektüre ab Seite eins bis hin zu Seite fünfhundertdreißig vollständig fesselt, mitnimmt und in die tiefsten emotionalen Winkel vordringt. … Anthony Doerr wurde 1973 in Cleveland geboren, er lebt mit seiner Frau und zwei Söhnen in Boise, Idaho. Neben Erzählungsbänden wie Der Muschelsammler (C.H.Beck 2007) veröffentlichte Doerr die Romane Winklers Traum vom Wasser (C.H.Beck 2005, 2016) und Alles Licht, das wir nicht sehen (C.H.Beck 2014), für den er 2015 den Pulitzer-Prize erhielt. Der Roman, der sich weltweit mehr als neun Millionen Mal verkauft hat, wurde zu einem Weltbestseller, auch in Deutschland ein großer Erfolg, und in mehr als 40 Sprachen übersetzt. 2016 erschien auf Deutsch seine Novelle Memory Wall, 2017 der Erzählungsband Die Tiefe bei C.H.Beck. Für seine Erzählungen hat Doerr bislang vier Mal den renommierten O. Henry Prize erhalten, neben vielen anderen Auszeichnungen erhielt er auch drei Mal den Pushcart Prize. Im Jahr 2007 wurde Anthony Doerr von der Britischen Literaturzeitschrift Granta auf die Liste der „21 Best Young American Novelists“ gesetzt.

This week Adam is joined by Lauren Groff, whose latest novel Matrix an extraordinary story of transformation, visions, leaps of faith, vicious battles, friendship, and creativity, as well as — to cite USA Today — “a character study to rival Hilary Mantel's Thomas Cromwell”. Matrix is a true original, unlike any literary experience you will have this year, probably one of the many reasons for which it was selected as a finalist for the 2021 National Book Award.

Marie is strange - tall, a giantess, her elbows and knees stick out, ungainly. At first taken aback by life at the abbey, Marie finds purpose and passion among her mercurial sisters. Yet she deeply misses her secret lover Cecily and queen Eleanor. Born last in a long line of women warriors and crusaders, women who flew across the countryside with their sword fighting and dagger work, Marie decides to chart a bold new course for the women she now leads and protects. She will bring herself, and her sisters, out of the darkness, into riches and power. MATRIX is a bold vision of female love, devotion and desire from one of the most adventurous writers at work today. * Lauren Groff is a two-time National Book Award finalist and The New York Times–bestselling author of three novels, The Monsters of Templeton, Arcadia, and Fates and Furies, and the celebrated short story collections Delicate Edible Birds and Florida.

Anthony Doerrs neuer, lang erwarteter Roman „Wolkenkuckucksland“ ist eine faszinierende Geschichte über das Schicksal, den unschätzbaren Wert, die Macht, die Magie und die alles überdauernde Überlebensfähigkeit von Büchern, Geschichten und Träumen. Im Mittelpunkt dieses großen Romans stehen Kinder an der Schwelle zum Erwachsenwerden, die sich in einer zerbrechenden Welt zurechtfinden müssen. Anna und Omeir während der Belagerung und Eroberung von Konstantinopel 1453, Seymour, der aus fehlgeleitetem Idealismus einen Anschlag auf eine Bibliothek im heutigen Idaho verübt, und Konstance im Raumschiff „Argos“ in der Zukunft, auf dem Weg zu einem Exoplaneten. Was sie alle auf geheimnisvolle und geradezu atemberaubende Weise über Zeiten und Räume miteinander verbindet, ist eine Geschichte über ein utopisches Land in den Wolken. Anthony Doerr schreibt über menschliche Verbindungen – miteinander, mit der Natur, mit früheren und zukünftigen Generationen. Ihm gelingt es in diesem gleichzeitig wunderschön erzählten, außerordentlich spannenden und wirklich liebevollen Roman ins pulsierende Herz dieser Verwobenheit vorzudringen. Anthony Doerr wurde 1973 in Cleveland geboren, er lebt mit seiner Frau und zwei Söhnen in Boise, Idaho. Neben Erzählungsbänden wie Der Muschelsammler (C.H.Beck 2007) veröffentlichte Doerr die Romane Winklers Traum vom Wasser (C.H.Beck 2005, 2016) und Alles Licht, das wir nicht sehen (C.H.Beck 2014), für den er 2015 den Pulitzer-Prize erhielt. Der Roman, der sich weltweit mehr als neun Millionen Mal verkauft hat, wurde zu einem Weltbestseller, auch in Deutschland ein großer Erfolg, und in mehr als 40 Sprachen übersetzt. 2016 erschien auf Deutsch seine Novelle Memory Wall, 2017 der Erzählungsband Die Tiefe bei C.H.Beck.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Dara Horn, Author of “People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present” About Harvey's guest:Dara Horn is the award-winning author of six books, including the novels “In the Image” (Norton 2002), “The World to Come” (Norton 2006), “All Other Nights” (Norton 2009), “A Guide for the Perplexed” (Norton 2013), and “Eternal Life” (Norton 2018), and the essay collection “People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present” (Norton 2021). “People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present” is a startling exploration of how Jewish history is exploited to flatter the living.Reflecting on subjects as far-flung as the international veneration of Anne Frank, the blockbuster traveling exhibition called “Auschwitz,” the Jewish history of the Chinese city of Harbin, and the little known “righteous Gentile” Varian Fry, Dara Horn challenges us to confront the reasons why there might be so much fascination with Jewish deaths, as emblematic of the worst of evils the world has to offer, and so little respect for Jewish lives, as they continue to unfold in the present.Horn draws on her own family's life — trying to explain Shakespeare's Shylock to a curious 10-year-old, her anger when swastikas are drawn on desks at her children's school in New Jersey, the profound and essential perspective offered by traditional religious practice, prayer, and study — to assert the vitality, complexity, and depth of this life against an anti-Semitism that, far from being disarmed by the mantra of “Never forget,” is on the rise.One of Granta magazine's Best Young American Novelists (2007), she is the recipient of two National Jewish Book Awards, the Edward Lewis Wallant Award, the Harold U.

Ribalow Prize, was selected as an Editors’ Choice in The New York Times Book Review and as one of the Best Books of 2006 by The San Francisco Chronicle, and has been translated into eleven languages.

She has lectured at over two hundred universities and cultural institutions throughout North America, in Israel and in Australia. She lives in New Jersey with her husband and four children. In this episode, we talk about Dara's book All Other Nights. How is tonight different from all other nights? For Jacob Rappaport, a Jewish soldier in the Union Army, it is a question his commanders have answered for him: on Passover, 1862, he is sent to New Orleans to murder his own uncle, who is plotting to assassinate Lincoln. After this harrowing mission, Jacob is required to pursue another enemy agent - this time his job is not to murder the spy but to marry her. All Other Nights brilliantly explores themes such as free will, regret, atonement, forgiveness and freedom. Based on historical facts, this book offers a rare glimpse into the Jewish population and the role they played in the Civil War. You can learn more about Dara's work here.
Olga Grushin was born in Moscow and moved to the United States at eighteen. She is the author of three previous novels, Forty Rooms, The Line and The Dream Life of Sukhanov. Her debut, The Dream Life of Sukhanov, won the New York Public Library Young Lions Fiction Award, earned her a place on Granta's once-a-decade Best Young American Novelists list, and was one of The New York Times' Notable Books of the Year. Both it and The Line were among The Washington Post's Ten Best Books of the Year, and Forty Rooms was named a Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction of the Year. Grushin writes in English, and her work has been translated into sixteen languages. She lives outside Washington, DC, with her two children. Listen in as we talk about her upbringing in Moscow and Prague and how she knew she wanted to be a writer at the tender age of four. To that end, every year on her mother’s birthday she’d present her with a typed, illustrated, and bound original book—hearing this made me feel bad about always giving my mother an ashtray for her birthday (to be fair, though, she was a smoker). We also talk about her journey to the United States at eighteen to study at Emory as well as her path to publishing. Of course, we discuss her new book The Charmed Wife, which has been characterized by CNN as “A modern take on the story of Cinderella, marriage, divorce and love that’s surprising, darkly comedic and enchanting.” This was a great conversation and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed hosting it. Follow Olga on twitter @olgagrushin and purchase The Charmed Wife wherever books are sold.

ABOUT THE BOOK - YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD ME NOT TO These stories arrive amid the #Metoo movement. They examine the fallout from failed relationships between men and women, relationships that have crumbled under the weight of betrayal, misplaced hopes, illness and from masculinity at its most toxic and misguided. These fictions ask very contemporary questions: how do ex-spouses learn to live again in proximity to one another; how do we make peace with our bodies and their own worst impulses; how do we learn to turn and face, full-on, the worst mistakes of our younger selves?

According to the Penguin notice, Stewart O’Nan is the author of eleven novels and two works of nonfiction. I first read his work in, Last Night at the Lobster, which became a national bestseller. He has won a number of awards, and Granta named him one of the twenty Best Young American Novelists. He lives with his family in Connecticut. Just finished Songs for the Missing. This novel is intense. The story carries the lives of a family through immense trauma, and the heartache rides with them to the end.

We hosted a reading and conversation with novelist Esmé Weijun Wang, author of the New York Times-bestselling new essay collection The Collected Schizophrenias. She was named one of Granta’s Best Young American Novelists and has won a Whiting Award. The Collected Schizophrenias, which won the Graywolf Nonfiction Prize, is, as NPR writes, “riveting, honest, and courageously allows for complexities in the reality of what living with illness is like.” After reading from her work, Esmé has a conversation with Larissa Pham, writer and author of the novella Fantasian. Together they discuss how to write vulnerably while maintaining boundaries, little things we can do for each other when our friends and family are going through difficult times, and much more.

As news breaks of a new all-female film version of William Golding's classic Lord of the Flies, the novelist Joanne Harris and film critic Karen Krizanovich join Andrea Catherwood to discuss whether it's a good idea. Patti Cake$ stars Danielle Macdonald as an unlikely rapper with talent but little opportunity. It's the first film for writer-director Geremy Jasper and won a warm reception at the Sundance Film Festival. Critic Mark Eccleston reviews.The American writer Nicole Krauss' books include The History of Love, which became an international bestseller, and Great House - both were shortlisted for the Orange Prize. Ten years ago she was chosen as one of Granta's Best Young American Novelists. Now her first book for 7 years, Forest Dark, is published: a contemplation of identity and shaking off the stories we tell about ourselves. She talks about the novel's characters including 68-year-old former New York lawyer Epstein... and a novelist called Nicole. The Market Theatre is bringing its award-winning production of The Suitcase from Johannesburg to Hull and the northeast. It's about a young couple who leave their village hoping for a better life in Durban. It doesn't work out and when the husband steals a suitcase - with no idea what's inside - life really unravels. It is, says director James Ngcobo, very different from the anti-apartheid, oppositional theatre that made the Market famous around the globe in the years of struggle.
