Judith Butler discusses their new book "Who's Afraid of Gender?" published by Farrar Straus Giroux. Named a "Most Anticipated Book of 2024" by Time, Elle, Kirkus, Literary Hub, The Millions, & Electric Literature. Purchase book here: https://citylights.com/whos-afraid-of-gender/ Judith Butler, the groundbreaking thinker whose iconic book "Gender Trouble" redefined how we think about gender & sexuality, confronts the attacks on “gender” that have become central to right-wing movements today. Global networks have formed “anti-gender ideology movements” that are dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous, perhaps diabolical, threat to families, local cultures, civilization—& even “man” himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures, this movement has sought to nullify reproductive justice, undermine protections against sexual & gender violence, & strip trans & queer people of their rights to pursue a life without fear of violence. The aim of "Who's Afraid of Gender?" is not to offer a new theory of gender but to examine how “gender” has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes, fascist formations, & transexclusionary feminists. In their vital, courageous new book, Butler illuminates the concrete ways that this phantasm of “gender” collects & displaces anxieties & fears of destruction. Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of “critical race theory” & xenophobic panics about migration, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality, fuels aggressive nationalism, & leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation. An essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment, "Who's Afraid of Gender?" is a bold call to refuse the alliance with authoritarian movements & to make a broad coalition with all those whose struggle for equality is linked with fighting injustice. Imagining new possibilities for both freedom & solidarity, Butler offers us a hopeful work of social and political analysis that is both timely and timeless. Judith Butler is the author of several books including "Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity," "Bodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of 'Sex'," "The Psychic Life of Power: Theories of Subjection, Excitable Speech, Notes Toward a Performative Theory of Assembly," & "The Force of Non-Violence." In addition to numerous academic honors & publications, Butler has published editorials & reviews in The Guardian, The New Statesman, The Nation, Time Magazine, the London Review of Books, & in a wide range of journals, newspapers, radio & podcast programs throughout Europe, Latin America, Central & South Asia, & South Africa. They live in Berkeley. Maggie Nelson is the author of several acclaimed books of poetry & prose, including "Like Love: Essays and Conversations" (2024), the national bestseller "On Freedom: Four Songs of Care and Constraint" (2021), National Book Critics Circle Award winner and international bestseller "The Argonauts" (2015), "The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning" (2011), "Bluets" (2009; named by Bookforum as one of the top 10 best books of the past 20 years), "The Red Parts: Autobiography of a Trial" (2007), & "Women, the New York School, & Other True Abstractions" (2007), "Something Bright, Then Holes" (2007), & "Jane: A Murder" (2005; finalist, the PEN/ Martha Albrand Art of the Memoir). A recipient of a 2016 MacArthur “genius” Fellowship, she is currently a professor of English at the University of Southern California.

James Pratt and John Smith were the last men hanged in England for the crime of sodomy, reported to the authorities by nosy landlords who later petitioned for clemency. Tom Crewe joins Thomas Jones to explain how exceptional – and unexceptional – the case was, the historical forces that led to the death sentence and the surprising ambivalence many Londoners felt about ‘unnatural crimes' in the 1830s.Find out more about Bluets at the Royal Court theatre here: https://royalcourttheatre.com/whats-on/bluets/ Hosted on Acast.

The word ‘culture' now drags the term ‘wars' in its wake, but this is too narrow an approach to a concept with a much more capacious history. In the closing LRB Winter Lecture for 2024, Terry Eagleton examines various aspects of that history – culture and power, culture and ethics, culture and critique, culture and ideology – in an attempt to broaden the argument and understand where we are now.Terry Eagleton delivered this lecture as part of the LRB's Winter Lecture series at St James's Church, Clerkenwell, London on 27 March 2024.Read Terry Eagleton's lecture in the LRB: https://lrb.me/eagletonwlFind out more about Bluets here: https://royalcourttheatre.com/whats-on/bluets/ Hosted on Acast.

In her recent LRB Winter Lecture, Hazel V. Carby discussed ways contemporary Indigenous artists are rendering the ordinarily invisible repercussions of ecocide and genocide visible.

Since the 2010 earthquake, ordinary life in Haiti has become increasingly untenable: in January this year, armed gangs controlled around 80 per cent of the capital. Pooja Bhatia joins Tom to discuss Haitian immigration to Chile and the US, the self-defeating nature of US immigration policy and the double binds Haitian refugees find themselves in. Should you pay a bribe if it marks you out as a candidate for kidnapping? Can you be deported to a country without an operating airport? And if asylum laws protect people who are being persecuted, what happens when that covers an entire nation?Find Pooja's Haiti coverage on the episode page: lrb.me/haitipodFind out more about Bluets at the Royal Court theatre here.Listen to the We Society Podcast here.

Siamo ancora in tempo, per i buoni propositi? Il primo, per questo 2024, è ovviamente leggere libri migliori. Ed è il motivo per cui apriremo Alice raccontandovi l'ultimo romanzo di Donatella di Pietrantonio, già Premio Campiello per l'Arminuta nel 2017. Il suo ultimo romanzo si intitola L'età fragile (Einaudi), ed è ispirato a un cruento fatto di cronaca avvenuto tra le montagne dell'Abruzzo qualche anno fa. Il secondo è raccontare tutto quello che gira intorno ai libri: cominciamo con una delle professioni più importanti per la letteratura globale, la traduzione, che raccontiamo insieme alla più brava (perdonate la semplificazione, ma rende l'idea) traduttrice del panorama letterario di lingua italiana: Maurizia Balmelli, locarnese di origine e parigina di adozione, che ha curato la traduzione in italiano di alcuni dei più grandi autori della letteratura americana, britannica e francese, da Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio a Cormac McCarthy. Il terzo proposito è forse il più complicato da realizzare: diventare meno ignoranti. Speriamo che una formula capace di risolvere il problema dell'ignoranza ce la possa fornire il professor Peter Burke, storico inglese, professore emerito all'Università di Cambridge, e autore un saggio che si intitola proprio Ignoranza: una storia globale (Raffaello Cortina Editore).Per la rubrica Mirador, che raccoglie proposte librarie insolite e sorprendenti, recensite da grandi voci della letteratura in italiano, Nadeesha Uyangoda racconterà Bluets di Maggie Nelson (Nottetempo).

Selon l'INED (institut Nationale d'Études Démographiques) il faudrait en moyenne sept mois pour tomber enceinte, mais souvent, le parcours est beaucoup plus long. Après 7 ans d'essais, Céline a abandonné tout espoir de devenir maman et s'est séparée de son compagnon. Mais comme la vie est pleine de jolies surprises, elle rencontre Sigfrid et ensemble ils ont donné naissance à Mia, qui a 5 ans aujourd'hui. Un petit miracle qu'elle nous raconte aujourd'hui. Le Dr Manon Marmouset de la Taille, gynécologue à l'hôpital des Bluets dans l'unité PMA, est également avec nous pour répondre à nos questions sur les fausses couches.
Bienvenue dans le podcast Métamorphose "Parents Conscients" pour explorer la parentalité du quotidien avec des experts.Marion Gestin Duchêne reçoit dans Métamorphose Anna Roy, sage femme, chroniqueuse dans La Maison des Maternelles, auteure du podcast Sage-Meuf et auteure. Neuf mois pour faire un enfant et neuf mois pour s'en remettre… Voilà un adage qui aujourd'hui encore a la vie dure ! Comme si, tout ce qui se passait après l'accouchement n'était qu'une simple formalité. La maman entre alors dans ce qu'on appelle la période de post-partum. Premiers contacts avec bébé, retour à la maison et découverte de la vie de famille : le post-partum pourrait être idyllique, mais ce serait vite oublier qu'il est avant tout un énorme chamboulement, le lieu de toutes les métamorphoses, une période « ébouriffante ». Comment se fait-il alors que le post-partum reste le parent pauvre de l'obstétrique et que les femmes reçoivent si peu d'aide ? C'est ce que nous allons voir aujourd'hui avec Anna Roy. Épisode #1Avec Anna Roy j'aborderai les thèmes suivants (extrait des questions) : Le post-partum est souvent résumé à quelques désagréments mais, pour vous, on est bien loin de ce que vivent les femmes, qu'est-ce que c'est alors le post-partum ?Vous avez mis trois ans pour sortir du vôtre, comment avez-vous su qu'il était bel et bien terminé ?En quoi le post-partum est le bon moment pour un reset, une renaissance ?Le post-partum, ça se prépare : quelle est la première mesure à prendre ? Les 24 premières heures du post-partum, c'est le premier lien avec son enfant : comment en faire un moment magique et positif ?En quoi comprendre son accouchement avant de quitter la maternité pourrait-il éviter bien des souffrances ?Qui est mon invitée Anna Roy ? Sage-femme par vocation, Anna Roy exerce aujourd'hui en libéral après avoir longtemps travaillé à la maternité des Bluets, à Paris. Elle est aussi chroniqueuse à « La Maison des maternelles », sur France 5, auteure du podcast « Sage-Meuf », produit par Europe 1. Son dernier livre, le post-partum dure 3 ans, co-écrit avec Caroline Michel, est sorti aux éditions Larousse.Quelques citations du podcast avec Anna Roy ? "Ce qui m'a vraiment tout appris sur le post-partum, ce sont mes patientes.""Vous allez de toute façon vous concentrer sur le bonheur de votre bébé, donc vraiment concentrez-vous aussi sur votre état de bien-être et de joie.""La naissance est une grande opportunité pour se donner de la force et pour « se réparer », c'est pour ça qu'être bien accompagnée est si important.""Tout le monde doit trouver sa nouvelle place, ça peut prendre des mois et ce n'est pas grave."Retrouvez Métamorphose Podcast sur Insta & FacebookInscrivez-vous à la Newsletter ici : https://www.metamorphosepodcast.com/Découvrez gratuitement La Roue Métamorphose et les 9 piliers de votre vie !Soutenez la Tribu Métamorphose, devenez actifs !Abonnez-vous à Métamorphose, le podcast qui éveille la conscience sur YouTube / Apple Podcast / Spotify / Deezer / Google Podcasts / CastBoxPhoto DR Hébergé par Acast.

Ello girlies, final Patreon-oldie but goodie coming up for you before the girls are back next week (with a merch announcement!). Chose this one because although there are a few old bits (a brief chat about Khloe Kardashian having another baby with Tristan Thompson, for example,) we speak a lot about the inner workings of how Love Island manages to capture the nation/world each season (plus, its relationship to fast fashion, the mental health aspect and the influencer pipeline), then how books became a hot girl accessory and, in honour of that, our hot girl book recommendations.Book recs in order:Bluets by Maggie NelsonMike Nichols: A LifeAnything by David Sedaris - like Me Talk Pretty One Day, Let's Explore Diabetes with OwlsMidnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John BerendtWhat Artists Wear by Charlie PorterElena Ferrante's Neapolitan quartetDevotion by Patti SmithWhat I Loved by Siri HustvedtSwing Time by Zadie SmithThe Seven Lives of Evelyn HugoSorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Slushies, get ready for some trailblazing poems in the form of mathematical proofs, theorems, and other types of mathematical reasoning that level their gaze at heartbreak. One poem even embeds a second poem as a footnote. Alex reminds us all of the hermit crab essay/poem format, prompting Sam to recall Maggie Nelson's Bluets, in which the end of a powerful love is likened to the experience of shedding yet still living with an abandoned skin or shell. Come along for a ride with some poetic work that's furious and logical in equal measure! Links to things we discuss that you may dig: Joe Wenderoth's Letters to Wendy's Samantha Hunt's The Seas Maggie Nelson's Bluets This episode is brought to you by our sponsor Wilbur Records, who kindly introduced us to the artist is A.M.Mills whose song “Spaghetti with Loretta” now opens our show. At the table: Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Samantha Neugebauer, Alex J Tunney, and Dagne Forrest Rei Alta is a black writer, disciple of science, artist, and proud supernerd. She resides in Massachusetts where she was born and raised. Rei spends most of her time supporting brilliant young people from historically marginalized communities in their exploration of science and engineering. Socials: Instagram: @reialtaspeak Inflection Point 1b Theorem 1.1. The pain, longing, and ambivalence I feel related to this particular past lover (hereafter “him”, “he” or “you”) is not unhealthy. Proof: By definition, “Time heals all wounds.” Suppose for all purposes, 11 years is considered to be ‘Time'. It is true that 11 years have passed, however I am not healed. Thus, this thing I feel is not really a wound. Theorem 1.2. There exists a value in this lover that I use to cope with a deficiency in my current state of being. Proof: By Theorem 1.1, this lover does not represent some larger, unresolved issue. It is true, however, that I still have been unable to let him go. Therefore, he must be notable for a different reason. By supposition, that different reason is that he and I had an unrivaled connection. I.e. While there is no such thing as soulmates, our cognitive compatibility was substantially higher than that of my previously observed matches. Hence, I feel an intensity through recollecting him such that most other things pale in comparison. Therefore, I remember him in order to feel something when I don't. Theorem 2.1. There exists an absolute truth about why I loved him and why I haven't been able to let go. Proof: By definition, “All things happen for a reason.” Since it is true that loving him and being unable to let go has happened, there must be a reason that caused it. This reason must be the truth. Suppose not; i.e., suppose this reason was not the truth. Then it would not have possessed the power necessary to cause such a consequential thing to happen. Such a consequential thing did happen. Thus, there is an attributable reason that is the truth. Theorem 2.2. I must understand why I have not been able to let go—in order to let go. Proof: By my own definition, I am a finder of truth. By Theorem 2.1, there is a truth to be found. If there is a truth I have not yet found, then I must find it in order to exist since finding truth defines me. Thus, I have no path forward but to find the truth. ____________________________________________________________________________ CAVEAT: Due to the following factors, the validity of the proofs outlined above is questionable: Invalid underlying assumptions Faulty reasoning Insufficient information As a result, extrapolation based on the conclusions laid out in the preceding section is not advised. ----more---- wave height CREST you approached after cycles of fire there was a tectonic shift fueled by molten rock and dressed up decay i believed your promise this time around — i felt it lift my feet TROUGH1 you receded re-defining “forever” as “only thirteen days” (a real trailblazer!) and like eddies forming behind Pinnacle Rock the reverse current dragged me in asymmetric swirls [1] i wish my love became a two-toed sloth like the algae on its fur it ignores his simple existence i wish my love became a deep sea vent spewing sulfur to fill his nostrils and make him gag i wish my love strutted down the cobblestones in heels with a long, deliberate stride and a toss of its hair ----more---- I Outline the Hypotheses I got this This is 101 I simply need to determine what a human woman should feel in this situation based on whether or not I can reject the null: H0 (null) = He's a small person on a power trip Who never cared He wasn't actually sick from bad Indian food Each time I felt we needed to talk H1 = He's not small but broken It was shame that caused him to disappear without warning; I memorialized every scene of his trauma While he forgot my middle name H2 = He's an emotionless sociopath in a decade-long grift Laughing about me with his friends Each month he adds some new mark to his collection One day he'll be caught and I'll guest star in a true crime documentary Yes, all very plausible Now all that's left to detect an effect is to dampen the noise

Vivre 3 grossesses et 3 naissances en 3 ans, c'est le choix qu'a fait Céline. Avant de devenir mère, elle n'imaginait pas forcément avoir des enfants très rapprochés, d'autant plus que son conjoint, qui est militaire, doit régulièrement s'absenter pour son travail. Pourtant, ils sont aujourd'hui les heureux parents d'Agathe, François-Joseph et Roch. Sans oublier le petit 4ème, qui arrive mi-janvier ! On en parle avec la Dr Jessica Dahan Saal, gynécologue obstétricienne, à la maternité des Bluets à Paris.
Nous abordons un sujet encore tabou dans notre société, les violences obstétricales. Delphine a 38 ans, elle est la maman de Gabriella (4 ans et demi) et Victoria (2 ans et demi). L'accouchement de son deuxième enfant a viré au cauchemar, laissant des séquelles physiques et psychologiques importantes. Elle témoigne dans ce livre bouleversant : « Comment est-ce qu'on va recoudre ça ? » (Flammarion). Pour répondre à toutes vos questions sur ce sujet, nous avons le plaisir de recevoir le Dr Jessica Dahan Saal, gynécologue obstétricienne, cheffe de service à la maternité des Bluets à Paris.
Bluets van Maggie Nelson Deze week pakten we een moderne klassieker van de planken: Bluets van Maggie Nelson. Luister hoe Lola en Suzanne zich een weg proberen te banen door Nelsons poëtische, filosofische, en autobiografische proposities over haar relatie met de kleur blauw. Wil je meekletsen met Lola en Suzanne? Laat het ons weten op Instagram, Twitter en Facebook en gebruik #RadioSavannah. Voor (lees)tips en fanmail zijn we ook te bereiken op info@savannahbay.nl. De Radio Savannah theme song werd gemaakt door Guflux. Het logo is gemaakt door Rike Blom. Meer lezen van Maggie Nelson? We got you! Sinds ‘Bluets' van Maggie Nelson in 2009 verscheen, verwierf het een cultstatus. Het oogstte lof, won prijzen en vestigde haar eigen genre: dat van de literaire, associatieve, persoonlijke essayistiek. Het uitgangspunt is een fascinatie met de kleur blauw. In een mozaïek van 240 korte teksten (‘proposities') met thema's als verlangen, kunstenaarschap, alcohol, vrouwelijke seksualiteit, plezier en pijn, cirkelt Nelson rondom die betekenisvolle en prachtige kleur. De verteller beschrijft onder andere het pijnlijke einde van een liefdesrelatie en een ernstig ongeluk van een goede vriendin. Ze onderzoekt wat de waarde is van kunst en schoonheid in tijden van groot verdriet. De lezer blijft betoverd achter: hoe is het mogelijk dat iemand in woorden zo dicht bij het onzegbare kan komen? ‘Bluets' is een rauwe, poëtische, onvergetelijke leeservaring. Vind het boek hier [NL] en hier [EN] in de webshop. In deze genderbending memoires komt cultuurcritica Maggie Nelson met frisse, krachtige en hoognodige overpeinzingen over seksualiteit, verlangen en ‘familie', en de beperkingen en mogelijkheden van zowel de liefde als de taal. In De Argonauten staat een liefdesgeschiedenis centraal: de relatie van de auteur met de kunstenaar Harry Dodge. Nelson laat ons van binnenuit zien hoe het is om verliefd te worden op Dodge, die genderfluïde is. Ze neemt ons mee op de lange weg van een zwangerschap, en ze toont ons de ingewikkelde en de mooie kanten van een gezin dat afwijkt van de norm. Nelson pleit voor radicale individuele vrijheid en de waarde van de zorg voor een gezin – je zou het de strijdkreet kunnen noemen van dit oorspronkelijke, wijze boek dat geen onderwerp schuwt en geen concessies doet. De Argonauten stond op de ‘Beste boeken van 2015'-lijsten van onder andere de Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, The New Yorker, San Francisco Chronicle, Flavorwire, The Irish Times, Kirkus, Los Angeles Times, NPR, Publishers Weekly en The Guardian. Het boek is genomineerd voor de National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism 2016. Vind het boek hier [NL] en hier [EN] in de webshop. Maggie Nelson's third collection of poems combines a wanderer's attention to landscape with a deeply personal exploration of desire, heartbreak, resilience, accident, and flux. Something Bright, Then Holes explores the problem of losing then recovering sight and insight - of feeling lost, then found, then lost again. The book's three sections range widely, and include a long sequence of Niedecker-esque meditations written at the shore of a polluted urban canal, a harrowing long poem written at a friend's hospital bedside, and a series of unsparing, crystalline lyrics honoring the conjoined forces of love and sorrow. Whatever the style, the poems are linked by Nelson's singular poetic voice, as sly and exacting as it is raw. The collection is a testament to Nelson's steadfast commitment to chart the facts of feeling, whatever they are, and at whatever the cost. Vind het boek hier in de webshop.

Name: Ellen Reading: Bluets, Maggie Nelson Why did you want to read this? Bluets shares the qualities of many of my favourite books – experimental in form, collapsing the lines between prose, poetry, essay and memoir. 240 numbered paragraphs make up this fragmentary, rhythmic meditation, which explores art, literature, grief and female desire through the tinted lens of Nelson's love for the colour blue. How did you record yourself? In bed, warmed by morning sun; my favourite place to read – and often to write (desks are overrated, comfort is underrated).
Lorsqu'une femme entre en salle de naissance pour donner la vie, elle ne peut en aucun cas imaginer qu'elle peut y risquer la sienne… Camille, il y a un an et demi, a été victime d'une complication très rare lors de l'accouchement de Chloé, son deuxième enfant. Une complication qui a failli lui coûter le vie. Elle partage avec nous son histoire, qui finit bien puisqu'elle témoigne et que sa fille est en pleine forme… Dr Jessica Dahan Saal, gynécologue obstétricienne, chef de service de la Maternité des Bluets à Paris, répond à vos questions sur les complications rarissimes à la naissance.
Comedian, Actor and Author Katy Wix goes head to head with Comedian and Taskmaster creator Alex Horne, in a war of the words. They discuss their reading habits, Taskmaster, the joy of memoirs and what they have been reading and enjoying recently. Alex reveals something he probably shouldn't about the new Taskmaster book and Katy talks of the highs and lows which came from writing her new non-fiction book, Delicacy. In the Book Off, they put Maggie Nelson's "Bluets" against Howard W. Bergersen's "Palindromes and Anagrams" - but which one will win? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Alex Manley is a Montreal/Tiohtia:ke writer and editor whose work has been published by Maisonneuve magazine, Hazlitt, The Walrus Grain, Vallum, and the Literary Review of Canada, among others. Their debut poetry collection, We Are All Just Animals & Plants, was published by Metatron Press in 2016. @alex_icon Poet and literary translator, Daphné B lives and works in Montreal. She published Bluetiful in 2015 (Les Editions de l'Ecrou), then Delete (L'Oie de Cravan) in 2017, in addition to writing in numerous magazines ( Nouveau Projet, Liberte, Vice, Spirale, Zinc, Estuaire, etc.). She co-founded the feminist platform Filles Missiles and is a regular contributor to the radio show Plus on est de fous, plus on lit, on Radio-Canada. @daphnebbbbb About Made-Up: A nuanced, feminist, and deeply personal take on beauty culture and YouTube consumerism, in the tradition of Maggie Nelson's Bluets. As Daphné B obsessively watches YouTube makeup tutorials and haunts Sephora's website, she's increasingly troubled by the ways in which this obsession contradicts her anti-capitalist, intersectional feminist politics. In a looks-obsessed, selfie-covered presentwhere influencers make the world go round, she brings us a breath of fresh air: an anti-capitalist look at a supremely capitalist industry, an intersectional feminist look at a practice many consider misogynist. Blending together the confessional, the poetic, and the essayistic, Made-Up is a lyric meditation on an industry in full bloom. Made-Up explores the complicated world of makeup, from how it's made to how we wear it, talking about gender, identity, capitalism, and pop culture in the process. Makeup doesn't get a lot of serious attention; it's often derided as shallow. But Daphné B proves that it's worth looking at a little more in-depth. The original French-language edition was a cult hit in Quebec. Translated by Alex Manley—like Daphné B, a Montreal poet and essayist—the book's English-language text crackles with life, retaining the flair and verve of the original, and ensuring that a bookon beauty is no less beautiful than its subject matter.

Épisode exceptionnel du podcast des maternelles puisque Benjamin Muller a pu passer une nuit entière aux côtés des équipes de la maternité des Bluets à Paris. L'objectif était de voir comment s'organise une maternité, comment travaillent ensemble les équipes pendant les 12 heures de garde, et aussi, si possible, d'assister à un accouchement. Vous allez voir, vous n'allez pas être déçu. Réalisation et montage: Romain Coser

Libris-winnaar Rob van Essen benoemt Simon Vestdijk tot een meester in het schetsen van lelijke mensen: ‘Die zie je steeds minder in de hedendaagse literatuur.' Daarnaast bespreken Hans en Chrétien het experimentele proza van ‘Bluets' (Maggie Nelson), de jaarlijkse polonaise van de Boekenweek en gaat de nieuwste NRC-column van Tommy weer onder het hakblok. Waarschuwing: Rob's geluid is kwakkelend, maar wordt gaandeweg beter. Luister, like en abonneer.
Une femme sur 10 subit dans sa vie une fausse couche. Qui représente bien souvent un drame, une étape très douloureuse avec parfois - souvent - un accompagnement psychologique trop léger, voire inexistant. Dans cet épisode, Benjamin Muller donne la parole à de nombreuses femmes qui ont connu cela. Et qui racontent notamment l’après. Dr Jessica Dahan-Saal, chef de service de la maternité des Bluets à paris, analyse ces témoignages très forts.
En el capítulo de este viernes 21 de Mayo, Lola nos platica sobre el dolor en la literatura haciendo un recorrido diverso que pasa desde Crepúsculo de Stephanie Meyer hasta Bluets de Maggie Nelson y aterriza en nuestras realidades como mujeres. Para Lola, el dolor es crucial para entender la manera en la que simpatizamos con las otras y la empatía es aquello que nos permite acercarnos al dolor de la otra. Hablamos además de aquellos dolores y ternuras que pueden llegar a atravesar el cuerpo. Nos invita a buscar herramientas para expresar y hablar de nuestro dolor y a que como mujeres rompamos con ese silencio pues seguir calladas sobre el dolor que sentimos es seguir apoyando este pacto que permite que no se hable sobre el dolor femenino.

“For to wish to forget how much you loved someone - and then, to actually forget - can feel, at times, like the slaughter of a beautiful bird who chose, by nothing short of grace, to make a habitat of your heart.”From Bluets by Maggie Nelson.“I was so affected by this book, that I held it against my chest and I hugged it.” - Honey LapcharoenAs a former manager for Barnes and Noble, Honey Lapcharoen has seen and read many books, but nothing prepared her for the experience of reading Maggie Nelson’s Bluets - a meditation on the colour blue that pulls from poetry, science and Nelson’s own life.Writer and artist Honey Lapcharoen holds advanced degrees in Arts and Humanities Education from NYU, and worked in the book industry for almost a decade. She's currently working on her first novel.
“I think about it a lot with dance and I think about it alot with the relationship between a body contributing something into space with others and how that relates to a life of the mind; in what ways do our words dance with each other…” On episode 048 of The Quarantine Tapes, Paul Holdengräber is joined by acclaimed author Maggie Nelson. Maggie discusses the challenges of online teaching during the pandemic, and what it’s been like to work on her new book. Paul and Maggie also explore the similarities between dancing and writing, and the relation of both to performance and improvisation. Maggie Nelson is the author of nine books of poetry and prose, many of which have become cult classics defying categorization, and include titles such as The Argonauts(2015), The Art of Cruelty (2011), Bluets (2009), and The Red Parts (2007). In 2021 she will publish a work of cultural criticism tentatively titled The Myth of Freedom, followed by a collection of art essays in 2022. In 2016 she was awarded a MacArthur “genius” Fellowship. She teaches at USC and lives in Los Angeles.
Cet épisode de La Poudre est disponible à l'écoute dans une version doublée en français. Cliquez ici pour l'écouter.The incredible author and thinker Maggie Nelson is the guest of the 62nd episode of La Poudre. With Lauren Bastide, they talked about Judith Butler, violence and love.Lauren's forewordIt's funny, these past few days, bluets have appeared among poppies and dandelions in the small meadow near the river.I gathered them and put them to dry between the pages 58 and 59.In the river, a lapis lazuli sparkle catches my eye in the water.My hand dives in.I take the object. It's a piece of mosaic, maybe a swimming pool tile. As blue as the river. As blue bluets. As blue as a bruise on my thigh, as my soul on summer evenings, as my pen's ink on my notebook.Episode summaryMaggie Nelson was born in 1973 in San Francisco where she grew up (08:50). Her parents, high-school sweethearts who were married very young, divorced a year before her father's death from a heart attack. This tragic event, as well as her family's story – especially her mother's sister murder – left their mark on her adolescence (17:16). She moved to New York to go to university and met there important litterary figures such as Eileen Miles or Annie Dillard who both influenced and inspired the young writer she was becoming. She started publishing poetry in 2001 and Jane, a Murder, her first essay in which she explored and confronted her aunt's death, went out in 2005. Coincidentally, the trial on Jane's death was reopened at the same time. She published her first novel on the subject, The Red Parts, in which her writing style, between very structured notes and references, autofiction and poetry bloomed (14:20). She completed a trilogy on women and violence in 2009 with another essay, The Art of Cruelty, published the same year as Bluets, a collection of thoughts on the colour blue in which she explores depression's intricacies (37:10). In 2015 she published The Argonauts, a new hybrid novel revolving around her pregnancy and the parallel transformation of her companion, Harry (54:36). This book, published in a dozen foreign languages, puts her at the forefront of world literature. Her sharp, complex and subtle writing and queer thought gives her recognition in many countries and a wide audience already waiting on her next book.Executive Producer : Nouvelles Écoutes Production and signature tune : Aurore Meyer-MahieuProduction assistant : Gaïa Marty Editing and mixing : Marion Emerit

Avec Lauren Bastide, elles ont parlé de Judith Butler, de violence et d'amour.L'édito de Lauren :C'est drôle, ces derniers jours les bleuets sont apparus parmi les coquelicots et les pissenlits dans la petite prairie qui borde la rivière.Les cueillir et les faire sécher entre les pages 58 et 59.Au fond de l'eau un reflet lapis lazuli attire mon regard.Je plonge ma main dans l'eau. Je ramasse l'objet. C'est un morceau de mosaïque, ou peut-être un carreau de piscine. Bleu comme la rivière. Bleu comme les bleuets. Bleu comme un coup sur ma cuisse, comme mon âme les soirs d'été, comme l'encre de mon stylo sur mon carnet.Résumé de l'épisode :Maggie Nelson est née en 1973 à San Francisco où elle a grandit (08:50). Ses parents, amours de jeunesse mariés jeunes, divorcent un an avant que son père ne meurt d'une crise cardiaque. Un drame qui marque son adolescence (17:16) autant que les récits familiaux, dont celui de sa tante Jane, la sœur de sa mère, morte assassinée (25:08). Elle déménage à New York pour faire ses études et y rencontre des figures littéraires telles qu'Eileen Miles et Annie Dillard qui se révèleront très importantes pour l'autrice qu'elle est en train de devenir. Elle publie de la poésie dès 2001 et sort son premier premier essai en 2005, Jane, a Murder où elle se confronte à l'histoire de sa tante qu'elle retrace et explore. À la publication de ce livre, par un concours de circonstance le dossier de l'assassinat de Jane est rouvert. Ce procès sera le thème de son premier roman, Une partie rouge (2009) où son style d'écriture, entre notes très structurées et référencées, autofiction et poésie se déploie déjà avec brio (14:20). Elle complètera cette trilogie sur le rapport des femmes à la violence par The Art of Cruelty, un essai paru en 2009, en même parallèle de Bluets, un recueil de pensées autour du bleu dans lequel elle dissèque les ressorts de la dépression (37:10). En 2015, elle publie Les Argonautes, un nouveau roman hybride autour – entre autre – de sa grossesse et de la transformation de son compagnon Harry (54:36). Ce livre, traduit dans une dizaine de langues met son nom sur le devant de la scène littéraire mondiale. Sa pensée, profondément queer, complexe et limpide à la fois, lui vaut une reconnaissance dans de nombreux pays et un lectorat déjà en attente de son prochain écrit.

“Tu vas voir, c’est vraiment que-du-bonheur”. Contrairement à ce que l’on pourrait penser, cet épisode ne va pas évoquer la thématique des vacances d’été, mais bien celle... de la maternité ! Au XXIème siècle, une autre conception de la maternité est-elle envisageable ? Est-elle différente selon les pays ? Peut-on associer maternité, et féminisme ? Et la paternité dans tout cela, on en est où ?

Despite their easy descriptions-- a book about small town baseball, a memoir of grief and addiction, a discussion of reality television-- Lucas Mann's books are unlike anything else, with each page revealing a fresh perspective or a surprising insight. He tells James about writing weird books in a way that feels normal, throwing subjects off-kilter in interviews, learning to write unhinged to create emotion, and playing Jenga with narrative.

This week on the MashReads Podcast, we read and discuss 300 Arguments by Sarah Manguso. The book is composed of 300 platitudes, most of them about a sentence or two long. While they seem completely unrelated at first, a storyline soon emerges about Manguso's own life, illness, friendships, etc. "Think of this as a short book composed entirely of what I hoped would be a long book's quotable passages." Then, inspired by 300 Arguments, we discuss our favorite short books, including George Orwell's Animal Farm, Cannery Row by John Steinbeck, Bluets by Maggie Nelson, and The Final Solution: A Story of Detection by Michael Chabon. And as always, we close the show with recommendations: Foster, Mashable's managing editor who joined the show this week, recommends the The Rolling Stone article "'Silver Springs': Inside Fleetwood Mac's Great Lost Breakup Anthem." "It's such a powerful song and when you find out the story behind it, it one of these things that so deeply increases your enjoyment of what's already such an incredibly great thing." MJ recommends Wesley Morris' New York Times article "In Movies and TV, Racism Made Plain" which explores how white supremacy surfaces, not just during the Charlottesville protests, but also in the pop culture we consume every day. "Whenever Wesley Morris writes anything you should just read it. He also recommends Bustle's article "How YA Twitter Is Trying To Dismantle White Supremacy, One Book At A Time" and Karl Ove Knausgaard's letter to his unborn baby about "What makes life worth living." "In [the letter], he is just so in awe with world ... and reading something where someone is just so in love with being on Earth was really uplifting."

The author of the gripping new true crime/memoir, THE FACT OF A BODY, Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich tells James that "the book teaches you how to write it." They talk about how those lessons evolved over a decade of work, as well as earning the story, engaging with darkness, measuring the emotional impact of working on a memoir versus finishing one, and geeking out over the work of Maggie Nelson.

After some negative pre-publication reviews, Jamie Quatro feared the worst. Then, critic James Wood and the NYTBR (among others) hailed her collection, I WANT TO SHOW YOU MORE, as a classic. Jamie and James talk about conflating writer and subject matter, depicting the female gaze and female sexuality, and writing novels vs short stories. Then, the agent Anna Stein joins the show to go over what an agent does, how to find one, and mistakes writers make along the way.

The Writer Files: Writing, Productivity, Creativity, and Neuroscience
The instant national bestselling author of the acclaimed debut novel Sweetbitter, Stephanie Danler, stopped by the show to chat with me about her not-so-overnight success as a rising literary star. Ms. Danler signed a six-figure deal with Knopf for her first book, the coming-of-age story of a young woman transplanted into New York City’s upscale, cutthroat restaurant world. Bestselling author Jay McInerney called Sweetbitter “… a stunning debut novel, one that seems destined to help define a generation,” and the book has been compared to Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential. Before returning to her love of writing, and earning an MFA in Fiction from The New School in NY, Ms. Danler spent much of her life working in the food and wine industry. Stephanie has also written essays for The Paris Review, Vogue, Literary Hub, and Travel + Leisure.

If you missed the first half of this show, you can find it at WriterFiles.FM and in the show notes. In part two of the file, Stephanie and I discuss the dichotomy of procrastination and deadlines, why relationships are important to writers, on the deconstruction and sanctity of creativity, how great writers leave blood on the page, and some sound advice on why you just need to finish. Let’s talk about your work flow a little bit. Are you working on a Mac or a PC there? Stephanie Danler: Oh, a MacBook. I had this ancient one that was so heavy that I used to lug around the world, and this one is so light and fancy. I adore it. Kelton Reid: They get lighter by the day, don’t they? Stephanie Danler: I’m very happy about that. Kelton Reid: Are you a Microsoft Word, or a Scrivener disciple? Stephanie Danler: What’s Scrivener? I have no idea. Microsoft Word. I’m not, like, a software person. Kelton Reid: I just assume that there are two camps, and the Scrivener’s like a new … It’s a newer software that incorporates a lot of kind of organizational tools that a lot of writers are using now. But you sound like a classic, dyed in the wool Microsoft Word-er. Stephanie Danler: Yeah, and lots of notebooks. Not structured or an outline person, or an organized person at all. The Dichotomy of Procrastination and Deadlines Kelton Reid: Do you have any best practices, kind of going back to block and whatnot, for beating procrastination? Stephanie Danler: I mean, no, on procrastination. I don’t know how to beat that. I would welcome any tips that you have. I should listen to the other podcasts. Kelton Reid: I think a lot of writers lean into it because it’s part of their creative process. Stephanie Danler: I think that deadlines are incredible, extremely helpful, and I think adrenaline is extremely helpful. Maybe that’s because I worked in restaurants for so long that it feels very familiar to me. For beating block, I think there’s just reading. I think that when you’re feeling bored or uninspired by your own mind, I think it’s time to visit someone else’s mind. I was just recently rereading Susan Sontag’s journals, and she’s admonishing herself. She’s like, “You will not read anymore. You are procrastinating.” I was like, “Okay. I could just be so lucky to procrastinate like Susan Sontag. I’ll take the reading.” Why Relationships Are Important to Writers Kelton Reid: Yeah, yeah. For sure. So Campari and soda, a glass of wine. How else does Stephanie Danler unplug at the end of a long writing day? Stephanie Danler: There’s definitely a beverage involved, and I think that it really does signal that you’ve exited the work day in a way. I like to be outside. It’s part of the reason that I moved to Southern California, even though I’d barely been here. But I think it’s important to actually be in nature as much as possible. You miss that in the city, by just contact with the world. I need to talk to people. It’s a very intense experience to sit alone with your many voices all day, trying to decide which to listen to. I think that calling someone and getting out of your own head and your own problems is the reminder that, “Oh, I’m just a human. I’m just a regular human being in the world, and I’m going to go to sleep, and this doesn’t matter so much.” It does. It’s art, and it’s what I’ve dedicated my life to, but there’s also just living, and being a good friend, and a good partner, and making meals. That’s equally as important. On the Deconstruction and Sanctity of Creativity Kelton Reid: For sure. Well, I’d love to dig into your creativity if you have time. Stephanie Danler: Yeah. That’s like, the vaguest word. It’s like one of those catch-alls, and it’s like a branding tool now, that I don’t even know what it means. But yes, ask away. Kelton Reid: How do you personally define creativity? Stephanie Danler: As I was just being so cynical about creativity, I was thinking also about how sacred it really is. When I think about real creativity, I think about that moment when you’ve been staring at the same material, or the same words, or the same landscape, or building, or face, and you feel like you know it. You feel like everything about it is staid and formulaic, and it’s dead. Then these synapses connect, and it’s new. Then I think about Ezra Pound’s slogan, “Make it new.” I think that that’s creativity. There is no new material. There’s only new ways of perceiving, and that is where original, exciting thought comes from. Kelton Reid: When do you personally feel the most creative? You may have already answered this, but can you nail it down? Stephanie Danler: Yeah. I think that it’s really important to remember how much of writing takes place away from the desk and off the page. I find that I’m very creative where I’m having those synapses firing, where I’m seeing connections, when I’m in transit. Whether I’m driving, or walking, or riding the subway, those are extremely fertile times for thought, because you can wander. That’s all writing, for me. That’s all work. I’m not always even in a rush to write those things down. I kind of observe the thoughts, and if they’re important, and if they’re going to add to whatever dialogue I’m having, they’ll come back to me at the desk. I think in transit is a really lovely time. Kelton Reid: Do you have a creative muse right now? Stephanie Danler: I have been walking a lot since I’ve been back, and I live in Laurel Canyon, so I’m surrounded by trails. I used to walk a lot in New York as well. I used to walk the bridge. I found that to give me a really great mental space. I’m always reading poets, and I read poetry first thing in the morning, and that is such a huge part of my practice. They, whoever they are, never fail to make me excited about language again, which, excitement is one step away from inspiration. Usually that works. How Great Writers Leave ‘Blood on the Page’ Kelton Reid: Very nice. In your estimation, what makes a writer great? Stephanie Danler: That’s a huge question. I really value honesty. Not just honesty, but sincerity in writing. I find, in a lot of modern or postmodern fiction, I feel this distance from the reader, this lack of sincerity, where I’m supposed to be appreciating how clever something is, but the writer hasn’t actually left any blood on the page, so to speak. There isn’t this authenticity, and I’m drawn towards writers in which I can really feel their pulse right behind the page. I don’t know whether that’s lived experience, and there are plenty of fiction writers who make everything up that can give you that feeling, but that’s a mark of talent. Kelton Reid: Completely. Do you have a couple of favorites right now that you’re just kind of stuck on? Sitting on your bedside table? Stephanie Danler: I have such an insane stack on my bedside table. I am so bored of hearing myself praise Maggie Nelson, because I do it all the time, but Maggie Nelson is a critic, essayist, poet. She most recently put out The Argonauts, which is a masterpiece. Then, we have her book of poetry. It’s really a poetic essay called Bluets. At this point, I’ve read everything that she’s written, and she does not care about genre. She does not care about the rules, and I find it so inspiring. Kelton Reid: That’s awesome. Do you have a best-loved quote floating there somewhere over your desk, like so many authors? Stephanie Danler: Yeah. I have a bunch. I actually have a bunch of poems. But my real quotes are on my body. I have some tattoos that are quotes that I carry with me. I have, “This is Water,” from David Foster Wallace, which was a speech he gave at my university, Kenyon College, which has now turned into, like, a manifesto of sorts. What else do I have? I have Clarice Lispector, the last line of her book The Passion According to G.H., is, “And so I adore it,” which is really just an affirmation, after you’ve gone through this novel of destruction, really. It’s really allegorical and very Kafkaesque, even though I hate it when people call things Kafkaesque. That’s the easiest way for me to put it. After you’ve gotten to the bottom of this hole, where there’s no meaning, it ends with this kind of cry, “And so I adore it.” I think of that one often. Kelton Reid: Very cool. I’ve got a couple of fun ones for you, to wrap it up. We will be right back after a very short break. Thanks so much for listening to The Writer Files. Jerod Morris: Hey, Jerod Morris here. If you know anything about Rainmaker Digital and Copyblogger, you may know that we produce incredible live events. Some would say that we produce incredible live events as an excuse to throw great parties, but that’s another story. We’ve got another one coming up this October in Denver. It’s called Digital Commerce Summit and it is entirely focused on giving you the smartest ways to create and sell digital products and services. You can find out more at Rainmaker.FM/summit. That’s Rainmaker.FM/summit. We’ll be talking about Digital Commerce Summit in more detail, as it gets closer. For now, I’d like to let a few attendees from our past events speak for us: Attendee 1: For me, it’s just hearing from the experts. This is my first industry event, so it’s awesome to learn new stuff and also get confirmation that we’re not doing it completely wrong where I work. Attendee 2: The best part of the conference for me is being able to mingle with people and realize that you have connections with everyone here. It feels like LinkedIn live. I also love the parties after each day, being able to talk to the speakers, talk to other people who are here for the first time, people who have been here before. Attendee 3: I think the best part of the conference, for me, is understanding how I can service my customers a little more easily. Seeing all the different facets and components of various enterprises then helps them pick the best tools. Jerod Morris: Hey, we agree one of the biggest reasons we host the conference every year is so that we can learn how to service our customers, people like you, more easily. Here are just a few more words from folks who have come to our past live events. Attendee 4: It’s really fun. I think it’s a great mix of beginner information and advanced information. I’m really learning a lot and having a lot of fun. Attendee 5: The conference is great, especially because it’s a single-track conference where you don’t get distracted by Which session should I go to? and, Am I missing something? Attendee 6:The training and everything, the speakers have been awesome, but I think the coolest aspect for me has been connecting with those people who are putting it on and the other attendees. Jerod Morris: That’s it for now. There’s a lot more to come on Digital Commerce Summit. I really hope to see you there in October. Again, to get all the details and the very best deal on tickets, head over to Rainmaker.FM/summit. That’s Rainmaker.FM/summit. Kelton Reid: Are you a paper or an e-book lover? Stephanie Danler: I don’t have an e-book thing. I can’t do it. I can’t even talk about it. Kelton Reid: Should we cut this? Stephanie Danler: It makes traveling so difficult. No. I love that people read, and my friends have their Kindles, and they love their Kindles, and it’s made them more voracious readers, and I’m so happy about that, but that’s repulsive. I can’t. You have no sense of weight or where you are in a book, and you can’t dog-ear the pages, and you can’t write in them. It’s just, no, no, no. Not for me. Kelton Reid: Well, I believe that you can make marginalia in some Kindles now, but of course it doesn’t look the same years and years down the road when somebody else opens the book. Stephanie Danler: There’s something about reading, even on a computer screen, where you have no idea of where you are in the novel. I love reading a passage and knowing that I’m one-third of the way in, and that sense of expectation that it builds. The way you engage with it knowing that you’re five pages away from the ending, you’re just lost on the screen in cyberspace. It’s terrible. Kelton Reid: It sounds like an alternate dimension. Stephanie Danler: You don’t have to cut this. I really believe in everything I’m saying. I’m very comfortable with this. Kelton Reid: We’ll leave it all in. It’s great. It’s good stuff. Do you have kind of a favorite literary character of all time? Stephanie Danler: That’s such a fun one. I love Henry James‘ women. I love Isabelle Archer from Portrait of a Lady, followed closely by Madame de Vionnet in The Ambassadors. One is like, the young, intelligent, optimistic heroine of the novel, and then Madame de Vionnet is the older, manipulative, cynical, slightly toxic character. Obviously, if you have read my book, I’ve drawn from both of those. I love his women. Kelton Reid: If you could choose an author from any era for an all expense paid dinner to your favorite restaurant in the world, who would you take, and where would you take them? Stephanie Danler: I would take this writer M.F.K. Fisher. She wrote in the mid-20th century. She’s ostensibly a cookery writer, but she’s one of the most underrated writers of the 20th century. She’s incredible. She basically writes personal essays that are centered around food, but at the end you’re crying and you don’t know why. She’s incredibly powerful and very dark and funny. M.F.K. Fisher and I … Where would I take her? She lived in France for so long. I would love to take her to Spain. I’ve been to Spain. I was a Spanish wine buyer for a moment, and I’ve traveled extensively throughout that country, and I think she would be shocked by the quality of food in places like San Sebastian and Barcelona. Yeah, I would take M.F.K. Fisher on a tapeo, a tapas crawl. Kelton Reid: Nice, nice. Love that idea. Actually, it’s making me very hungry and thirsty thinking about that. Do you have any writer s fetishes? I know a lot of writers have collections and rare artifacts of the trade, and many don’t. Do you have anything that kind of hangs around or follows you around the world? Stephanie Danler: I mean, I have my notebooks, and I’ve been writing in them forever. I have my ridiculous library, but I think that every writer has a ridiculous library. My collection of old magazines and old Paris Reviews and old Kenyon Reviews, those are kind of special and idiosyncratic. I have a small collection of The Partisan Review, which was really powerful in the 40s and 50s. It was more powerful intellectually than The New Yorker at the time. Those are so special. You have Jean-Paul Sartre writing for The Partisan Review next to Robert Lowell. Those are incredible. Kelton Reid: Going back to the notebook really quick, what kind of notebook is it? Stephanie Danler: They’re Moleskine notebooks. Black. Kelton Reid: Aha. Stephanie Danler: “Aha.” I know. So boring. I keep a small one for personal, private, nonsensical writing. Then, I keep a larger one for thoughts pertaining to work. If anyone ever tries to sell you the small notebook, you don’t want that. You want the big notebook. Some Great Advice on Why You Just Need to Finish Kelton Reid: Can you offer advice to your fellow scribes, fellow writers, on how to keep the ink flowing, how to keep the cursor moving? Stephanie Danler: I think I go back to reading. I think you need to be reading as much as you’re writing, if not more. I also often tell fellow writers that you have to finish. I remember a professor told me that at The New School, Darryl Pinckney. He said, “You need to finish your projects.” I was like, “Well, duh. Of course, I’m trying to finish.” His point is that so many of us start things. There’s so much energy in, “I have written the opening sentences of the great American novel.” But we never finishing it is an entirely different beast. I think another facet of that is not to be too precious about it because writers do not realize that your first draft is almost meaningless. It doesn’t matter how good it is, how bad it is. You’re going to revise it 1,000 times, and until you write the last sentence, you have no idea what you’re looking at. Whether it is the great American novel, or whether it has to be burned. Get to the end. Kelton Reid: Well, Sweetbitter is a great novel. Congratulations. I love this blurb by Jay McInerney, who, that’s impressive alone, said, “A stunning debut, destined to help define a generation.” It really captures that fast paced, kind of late night, sexy subculture of the restaurant world, but it’s so much more. It’s incredibly well written, and I encourage the listeners to seek it out. I’m sure they can’t miss it at this point because it’s kind of everywhere. Congrats on that. I did have a question about kind of, any of your peers from that period, if you are still in touch with them, did they have any thoughts on kind of how you captured the world? Stephanie Danler: Yeah. I am, as you probably know, having worked in restaurants, your restaurant family, you see them around forever. I’ve had so many different restaurant families, and they’ve all shown up at one event or another. Even when I was in Portland, Oregon, where I knew no one, someone showed up who I used to work with who was living there. Everyone’s been so gracious and supportive, and the notes that I receive are so kind, and I think it’s because it’s fiction. I think that probably everyone I’ve ever worked with picked up the book and was like, “Oh, I bet I’m in here.” They’re not. I think that it makes it easier for them to read, and also, so many times, they’re like, “This took me back. This is like a love letter to our lives in that moment.” That is exactly what I wanted. It really is a deeply nostalgic work, and I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was in the process of leaving New York, and Union Square Café was closing, and it really is a tribute to that moment of youth, and that moment in New York City. Kelton Reid: That s cool. Stephanie Danler: Yeah, they have been so lovely. Kelton Reid: That’s awesome to hear. Well, congratulations on all of the successes, and we look forward to more. Hope you come back and talk with us again. Where can writers and listeners connect with you out there? Stephanie Danler: I am very active on Instagram, which seems strange for a writer, because I cannot Tweet. I don’t understand anything about it. But there’s an incredible book loving community on Instagram, where people are sharing writers and recommendations, and I post a lot of poetry that I’m reading, and try to give it as much visibility as possible, and yeah. People seem to like reading it on Instagram, so that’s where I am. Kelton Reid: Neat, neat. Very cool. All right, Stephanie. Well, thanks again, and it has been a true pleasure chatting with you about writing. Stephanie Danler: Thank you so much.

Under Stockholms litteraturmässa kastar sig Martin och Andrea huvudstupa in i frågan om skrivande som motstånd. Tillsammans med den eminenta gästen Mara Lee och inför en publik som inte drar sig för att slita upp revor i verkligheten (var uppmärksam på vad som inträffar cirka tio minuter in i samtalet!) slår de in på vägar som bär in i natten, ut i rymden – och till och med bort från själva språket! Under resan mot pudelns kärna ställs trion inför frågeställningar som: Går det att använda sig av ”The Master’s Tools”, det vill säga maktens språk, för att skapa ett utrymme för att omkullkasta maktens hegemoni, och för att förskjuta subjektet bort från den kvävande känslan av att vara definierad av någon annan? Vad är det som gör eländet i Maggie Nelsons fantastiska bok "Bluets" så drabbande? Är det slaveri eller kärlek att göra sig till värd för utomjordiska larver? Hur kan tystnad vara subversiv? Och vad vad säger en konversation i en flygkabin egentligen om klass? Detta – och mycket mer! – reder vi ut i Skogarna. Välkommen.
A Murder Over a Girl (Henry Holt & Company) On February 12, 2008, a beautiful morning in Oxnard, CA, 14-year-old Brandon McInerney and the rest of his eighth grade class walked to the computer lab with their teacher, Dawn Boldrin. As his classmates typed their history papers, Brandon quietly stood and shot 15-year-old Larry King—who for just two weeks had been wearing traditionally female accessories and identifying as “Leticia”—twice in the head. Larry died in the hospital two days later. Psychologist and NYU professor Ken Corbett was unsettled by the media coverage that sidestepped the issues of gender identity and race, and went to California to attend the trial. In , A Murder Over a Girl, Corbett, a leading expert on gender and masculinity, details the case, and all the social issues still littering the American landscape eight years later. The brutal murder begged the question: How this could happen? Ellen DeGeneres spoke out; Newsweek and The Advocateran cover stories. Once again, "a normal boy” like Brandon had taken a gun into a school and killed another student in cold blood. But others, still, wondered: How could this not happen? In many ways this was a “perfect storm” of race, poverty, gun violence, and gender identity fueled by ignorance and fear. Brandon had been raised by drug-addicted parents. His mother shot his father days before their wedding, and his father later shot his mother in front of him. His home was a veritable culture of guns. Larry’s birth mother was a 15-year-old drug addicted prostitute. He had recently been removed from his adoptive parents’ home after reporting abuse. Larry identified as gay from the age of 10, and by 15 had realized he was a girl. He wore makeup and stilettos to school with his uniform and had asked the boy who would be his killer to be his valentine. Brandon says he was being sexually harassed by Larry and sought peace the only way he knew how. Nearly eight years later, we as a country are not on the same page on so many of the major issues at play: gender identity; sexual and racial equality; gun control; drug laws. Neither experts nor lawmakers nor voters can come to a consensus, and yet, teachers—most of whom have received no training in any of these areas—are thrust to the forefront in the classroom. Praise for A Murder Over A Girl: “Harrowing, humane, and utterly engaging, A Murder Over a Girl is a triumph of storytelling, delivering deep insight into gender and adolescence while drawing us into a fascinating narrative. It is a book very much of the moment, but at its heart it is a classic tale of human emotion.”—Susan Orlean, New York Times bestselling author of The Orchid Thief “Ken Corbett was put on earth to write this stunning book, now, at a moment in our history when we need him to be our secret agent, our witness, our guide inside the maelstrom of this mad hatter court.”—PETER CAREY, Booker Prize-winning author of Oscar and Lucinda and The True History of the Kelly Gang “With great compassion, insight, and care, Ken Corbett takes us to the scene in which one transgendered child’s daring and vibrant bid to become a girl met with the murderous rage of a boy well taught in using a gun. A murdered girl is gone, a nearly undocumented life, yet her spectre lives on in this remarkable book, a narration that enters us into the minds of those who make hatred into a form of pernicious reasoning. A Murder Over a Girl is about youth culture, gender, school, and the failures of the legal system, about cunning reversals in argument whereby murderers are cast as victims, and the traces of the dead are nearly effaced. Corbett does justice to this death and to this life with a book both intelligent and loving, exposing a world tragically lacking in those very qualities, calling upon us all to intervene to halt gender violence before it begins.”—Judith Butler, author of Gender Trouble “A Murder Over a Girl narrates a searing tragedy, meticulously laying out the aftermath of the crime, exposing the pathos not only of the victim, but also of the classmates, parents, jurors, lawyers, and others who had to grapple with the troubling nuance of the case. And in doing so Corbett unforgettably reveals the flaws of the American judicial system, the destructive influence of sensationalizing mass media, and the blindness of good intentions at the intersection of masculinity, grief, prejudice, and empathy.”—Andrew Solomon, New York Times bestselling author of Far from the Tree “I’ve never read a book like A Murder Over a Girl. It’s an account of a murder trial, the outcome of which is known; yet, the book is a hard-to-put-down page-turner. It achieves its extraordinary narrative intensity not through any sensationalizing of the facts, but rather through its author’s quiet authority, piercing insights, and his refusal to deliver hasty or easy judgments. Through patience, respect and empathy, Corbett allows us to see how dehumanization conceals a consequential and potentially fatal refusal to confront loss. And in confronting loss, this book renders justice, restoring to the memory of the victim her dignity, her vital subjectivity and her agency. A Murder Over A Girl is magnificently written, shattering, original and immensely valuable."—Tony Kushner, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Angels in America “There are events that break out of a culture as illness breaks out of a body. Ken Corbett has written an account of a crime yes, a trial yes, a tragedy, but he has also perceived a way for us to comprehend the gender dis-ease just below our cultural skin. This is a brilliant and necessary book.” —Marie Howe, author of What the Living Do and The Kingdom of Ordinary Time "One young teenager is dead. Another is a murderer. And all of our contemporary dividing lines--race, gender, class, orientation, homophobia, privilege, and fear of the unknown--are drawn in a California courtroom. Telling this devastating story with clarity, empathy, and insight, Ken Corbett brings his profound understanding of the minds of boys--their hopes, their dreams, their terrors, their longings--to bear in the service of making the unimaginable clear to us. This essential book will broaden your mind even as it breaks your heart." —Mark Harris, author of Pictures at A Revolution and Five Came Back “Ken Corbett corrals the chaos and trauma of the King murder trial into a riveting story of the “cratered minds” that result from, and perpetrate, violence. With an analyst’s attunement, he also takes us beyond the courtroom, imagining his way into the lives and minds of Brandon McInerney and Leticia King with nuance and tremendous compassion. He gives a devastating account of the emotional landscapes of the school, the families, and the communities in which both murderer and victim were and were not held. Corbett’s determination that this crime be named and these lives be told results in a powerful and heartbreaking book.”—GAYLE SALAMON, author of Assuming a Body: Transgender and Rhetorics of Materiality Ken Corbett is a clinical assistant professor at NYU in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy with a private practice in New York City. He is the author of Boyhoods: Rethinking Masculinities.

A Collapse of Horses (Coffee House Press)A stuffed bear’s heart beats with the rhythm of a dead baby, Reno keeps receding to the east no matter how far you drive, and in a mine on another planet, the dust won’t stop seeping in. In these stories, Evenson unsettles us with the everyday and the extraordinary–the terror of living with the knowledge of all we cannot know. Minimalist literary horror, Evenson’s stories work a nightmare axis of doubt, paranoia, and everyday life. Praise for Brian Evenson:“Brian Evenson is one of the treaures of American story writing, a true successor both to the generation of Coover, Barthelme, Hawkes and Co., but also to Edgar Allan Poe.”--Jonathan Lethem“One of the most provocative, inventive, and talented writers we have working today.”--The Believer“The bloodfests that sometimes ensue are metaphoric as miniature Francis Bacons. . . [Evenson’s] fiction is repulsive but more ‘moral’ that anything than comes from Bret Ellis or A. M. Homes.”--The Stranger“There is not a more intense, prolific, or apocalyptic writer of fiction in America than Brian Evenson.”--George SaundersPraised by Peter Straub for going “furthest out on the sheerest, least sheltered narrativeprecipice,” Brian Evenson has been a finalist for the Edgar Award, the Shirley Jackson Award, and the World Fantasy Award and the winner of the International Horror Guild Award, the American Library Association’s award for Best Horror Novel, and one of Time Out New York’s top books. The recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and three O. Henry Prizes, Evenson lives in Providence, Rhode Island, where he directs Brown University’s Literary Arts Program.Maggie Nelson is the author of The Argonauts, as well as an American poet, art critic, lyric essayist and nonfiction author of books such as The Red Parts: A Memoir, The Art of Cruelty, Bluets, and Jane: A Murder.

This week's discussion centers on a genre-bending book by Maggie Nelson, an unconventional memoir and a treatise on perception, pain, love and loss, and the color blue. Bluets came out in 2009 and has become a real touchstone for some writers of both creative nonfiction and poetry. We also talk about Tom's recent trip to Italy, his hatred of Romans, and Mike's growing hatred of online user reviews. For more, visit us online at bookfightpod.com.
Maggie Nelson is the guest. She is the critically acclaimed author of books like The Red Parts, Bluets, and The Art of Cruelty. The New York Times Book Review calls The Art of Cruelty "An important and frequently surprising book . . . could be read as the foundation for a post-avant-garde aesthetics. . . . Nelson, who is also a poet, is such a graceful writer that I . . . just sat back and enjoyed the show.” And BOMB Magazine says of Bluets "From blue factoids like Benedict de Saussure’s 1789 invention of 'cyanometer, with which he hoped to measure the blue of the sky,' to her own struggles with depression, Nelson gifts us with what seems like a lifetime study of blue while somehow slyly avoiding any of the obvious 'blue' clichés. Maggie Nelson continues to raise the bar higher in what a reader can expect from a book. Bluets is smart yet intimate, quiet yet provocative, and a welcome addition to the poetic non-fiction discourse." Monologue topics: mortality, memory, writing, childhood, wiping, O.J.
