At the University of Southern California, student protesters set up an encampment at Alumni Park for the second time over the weekend after their first one was broken up by law enforcement last week. Ninety-three people were arrested. The campus remains closed to the public and access to the campus is limited to those with a valid campus ID. The university is also facing criticism from various groups of faculty including from the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and the Department of Gender & Sexuality Studies for their handling of the student protests. Booker Prize-nominated author C Pam Zhang and UCLA professor and MacArthur Fellow Safiya Noble have withdrawn as speakers of USC's Rossier School of Education satellite commencement ceremony. President Carol Folt and Provost Andrew Guzman are set to attend the school's Academic Executive Board meeting on Wednesday where some faculty are calling on the senate to censure Folt and Guzman for their handling of the valedictorian speech and pro-Palestinian in-camp demonstration. Joining us to discuss is LAist reporter Yusra Farzan and Jody Armour, professor of law at the University of Southern California.   We reached out to USC President Carol Folt to join the conversation, but did not hear back before the airing of this segment. We also reached out to Provost Andrew T. Guzman, but he was not available.   With files from LAist. Read the full story here.

Mit Büchern von Suzie Miller, C Pam Zhang, Vladimir Sorokin und Lesetipps zum Valentinstag

Die Welt im Jahr 2050: Überall herrscht Smog. Die meisten Tier- und Pflanzenarten sind ausgestorben. Deswegen haben sich einige sehr Reiche auf einem Berg bei Mailand angesiedelt, wo die Luft noch gut ist. Dorthin verschlägt es auch die Erzählerin in C Pam Zhangs neuem Roman „Wo Milch und Honig fließen“. Sie ist Spitzenköchin und bekommt aus den bergeigenen Laboren und Anbaustätten all die Zutaten, die es in den Tälern nicht mehr gibt. Ein düsterer Zukunftsroman, der an einem eindrucksvollen Ort spielt, in Konstruktion und Figurenzeichnung aber nicht ganz überzeugt.

Einmal das schlimme Schicksal Schweizer Söldner in «Die rote Mütze» von Daniel de Roulet, einmal die dystopischen Vorstellungen der amerikanisch-chinesischen Schriftstellerin C Pam Zhang in «Wo Milch und Honig fliessen». Das das Angebot am Literaturstammtisch im BuchZeichen. In seinem aktuellen Buch «Die rote Mütze» schildert der Westschweizer Autor Daniel de Roulet das grässliche Los von Schweizer Söldnern in Frankreich zur Zeit der französischen Revolution. Wegen Meuterei werden sie mit Haft, Folter oder gar Hinrichtung bestraft. Verantwortlich für die Menschenschinderei war ein Vorfahre Daniel de Roulets, der nun den Opfern eine Stimme gibt und so gegen die Bluttaten seines Verwandten anschreibt. Ein überaus packender und erhellender Roman, sagt Felix Münger. Dichter Smog, der die Erde umhüllt, und eine globale Hungersnot. Dieser dystopischen Welt entflieht eine junge Köchin in eine mysteriöse Bergkolonie der italienischen Alpen. Dort gedeiht das ausgestorben Geglaubte noch in Fülle: Frische Erdbeeren, Trüffel, bengalische Tiger. Der Roman, den Lea Dora Illmer an den Literaturstammtisch bringt, ist ein sinnliches Meisterwerk, das fragt: Haben wir ein Anrecht auf Genuss in einer Welt ohne Zukunft? Auch der Buchtipp dreht sich um grosse Themen. Er beinhaltet lyrische Gegenmittel gegen Leiden wie Eifesucht, Einsamkeit oder Lebensüberdrüssigkeit. Gemeint ist «Doktor Erich Kästners lyrische Hausapotheke», die Michael Luisier anlässlich des bevorstehenden 125. Geburtstag des grossen deutschen Schriftstellers zur Wiederentdeckung empfiehlt. Buchangaben: * Daniel de Roulet. Die rote Mütze. Aus dem Französischen von Maria Hoffmann-Dartevelle. 168 Seiten. Limmat, 2024. * C Pam Zhang. Wo Milch und Honig fliessen. Aus dem Amerikanischen von Eva Regul. 272 Seiten. S. Fischer, 2024. * Erich Kästner. Doktor Erich Kästners lyrische Hausapotheke. 225 Seiten. Neuausgabe. Artium, 2021.

Das Land, in dem Milch und Honig fließen, gibt es nicht mehr. Der neue Roman der amerikanischen Bestseller-Autorin C Pam Zhang spielt in einer nahen Zukunft, in der Smog die Erde einhüllt und eine globale Hungersnot herrscht: Die 29-jährige Heldin des Romans rettet sich auf einen Berggipfel, in eine Kolonie von Superreichen, für die sie als Köchin arbeitet. Hier gibt es noch Obst, Gemüse, Milch und Honig... Sie findet frische Erdbeeren, brutalen Luxus und die Liebe einer Frau. Ein sinnlicher und wilder Roman. rbbKultur-Literaturredakteurin Anne-Dore Krohn hat ihn gelesen.

However, what she first takes to be little more than a decadent end-times holiday camp for the perennially wealthy, she soon discovers is much more ambitious, and potentially much more sinister.Buy Land of Milk and Honey: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/land-of-milk-and-honey-3Born in Beijing, C Pam Zhang is mostly an artifact of the United States.

Acclaimed author C Pam Zhang's latest novel, “Land of Milk and Honey,” is set after smog blocks the sun, killing 98% of commercial crops and 12% of the human population in famine. Bland mung powder is eaten by all but the very rich, who continue to eat lavishly. As the protagonist — a chef who decides to work for the rich to again taste real food — recalls, “A world was gone. Goodbye to all that, to the person I'd been, to she who'd abandoned, half-eaten, a plate of carnitas under blaze of California sun. It wasn't grease I missed so much as the revelation of lime. Waiting on grief, I met hunger.” We'll talk with Zhang about portraying hope in an apocalyptic novel, the interconnections between food, class, culture and climate change, and the meal she'd want to eat if it felt like the world was ending. Guests: C Pam Zhang, author of the novels, “Land of Milk and Honey" and “How Much of These Hills Is Gold." Zhang was a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award, long-listed for the 2020 Booker Prize and named a National Book Foundation "5 Under 35" Honoree

Eunice Wong performs this immersive tale of an Asian American chef during an apocalyptic event in Earth's near future. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Kendra Winchester discuss how Wong captures the chef's strong narrative voice. The unnamed narrator is unable to return to America after smog covers the globe, blocking sunlight and killing most of Earth's plants and animals. To escape impending disaster, the chef takes a job cooking for a billionaire living in an isolated compound on the top of a mountain above the smog. As the chef falls in love, creates new dishes, and ponders what her future has in store, Wong beautifully captures the chef's narrative voice. One of the must-listen audiobooks of 2023.

After climate change has wreaked havoc on the planet – and its flora and fauna – delicious dinners are a memory of the past. But in C Pam Zhang's new novel, Land of Milk and Honey, a struggling chef looking for a job finds herself in an elite corner of the world where eating is about more than survival. In today's episode, Zhang tells NPR's Ailsa Chang how being a picky eater ultimately led her to relish in writing about food, and how desire, privilege and pleasure take on different meanings for her chef protagonist.

Martina Testatraduttrice di "Quanto oro c'è in queste colline"C Pam Zhang66thand2ndhttps://www.66thand2nd.com/Premio Lattes Grinzane 2022"Quanto oro c'è in queste colline" C Pam ZhangE' la storia di due ragazzini cinesi di undici e dodici anni, Sam e Lucy, che perdono il padre durante il viaggio verso il West e la frontiera, in un'America spogliata non soltanto del suo oro, ma anche dei suoi fiumi, dei bisonti, degli indiani, e del suo verde e della sua vitalità.Ba è morto durante la notte, Ma è scomparsa da tempo. Lucy e Sam, dodici e undici anni, si ritrovano all'improvviso in fuga in una terra ostile. Al tramonto della febbre dell'oro, con il cadavere del padre sulle spalle, partono per un viaggio nel grande Ovest americano, segnato da ossa di bisonti e impronte di tigri misteriose, per dare degna sepoltura a Ba.Nel cammino incontreranno cercatori d'oro e speculatori, un sinistro cacciatore di pellicce, la proprietaria di un bordello, una ricca ragazza di città che offrirà loro aiuto ma solo alle sue condizioni. Nell'ombra del ricordo del padre violento, per cui nutrono sentimenti contrastanti, Lucy e Sam dovranno cercare la loro strada in mezzo a paesaggi brutali e incantati, anche a costo di separarsi, e scoprire a poco a poco i segreti del loro passato familiare insieme a quelli del loro paese, l'America.Pervaso di elementi onirici, e sostenuto da un linguaggio ipnotico, contemporaneo, Quanto oro c'è in queste colline è uno straordinario romanzo d'avventura che riscrive il mito di fondazione della frontiera, toccando temi cruciali come la razza e l'immigrazione e altri più intimi come il genere e la perdita, e segna l'ingresso di una nuova voce nella letteratura americanaC Pam ZhangNata a Pechino, C Pam Zhang ha vissuto in tredici città di quattro nazioni diverse, ed è ancora in cerca di una casa. Al momento abita a San Francisco.I suoi lavori sono apparsi, tra gli altri, sul «New Yorker» e sul «New York Times».Quanto oro c'è in queste colline, uscito in America nel 2020, è il suo primo romanzo, finalista ai Lambda Literary Awards e nominato per il Booker Prize.https://cpamzhang.com/IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

"Wie viel von diesen Hügeln ist Gold" ass den éischte Roman vun der asiatesch-amerikanescher Schrëftstellerin C Pam Zhang, déi et domadder net nëmmen op d'Longlist vum Booker-Prize gepackt huet, mä och op déi perséinlech Lëscht vum fréieren amerikanesche President Barack Obama. Dëse Roman ass esou eppes wéi e Western, awer aus der Vue vun de chineeseschen Awanderer, deenen hir Geschicht bis ewell wéineg erzielt gouf. D'Christiane Kremer huet et gelies.

Forum Book Club returns with "How Much of These Hills Is Gold," the debut novel from C. Pam Zhang. Longlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize, the book has been praised for its "arresting," "lyrical," and "ravishingly written" style. It follows the quest of two Chinese-American orphans, Sam and Lucy, to bury their father, a failed gold prospector. In this tender coming-of-age story, Zhang asks "what makes a home a home?" and in placing a Chinese family at its center, a group that history has not just forgotten, but in some instances, erased, the novel reshapes the American western. We'll talk to Zhang and a panel of fellow writers about the book.

Chinesische Figuren im Western? Gab es bisher kaum, obwohl im 19. Jahrhundert tausende Chinesen in die USA einwanderten. Sie schürften Gold, arbeiteten in den Kohleminen und schufteten beim Eisenbahnbau. Immer wieder waren sie rassistischen Übergriffen ausgesetzt – aber sie waren da, und sie blieben. Es wird also wirklich Zeit, dass der amerikanische Western personell erweitert wird. Das macht jetzt die chinesischstämmige Amerikanerin C Pam Zhang in ihrem Debütroman „Wie viel von diesen Hügeln ist Gold“. Ein hervorragend erzähltes Werk. Hören Sie SWR2-Literaturredakteurin Katharina Borchardt im Gespräch mit der Kritikerin Kristine Harthauer. Aus dem Englischen übersetzt von Eva Regul S.

Eines der aufsehenerregendsten Debuts des Jahres 2020 war in den USA der Roman "Wie viel von diesen Hügeln ist Gold" der chinesischstämmigen Autorin C Pam Zhang.

Podcastul Books are Magic powered by Nemira e despre cărțile, poveștile, ideile și oamenii care schimbă lumea. Tema episodului #10 este romanul extraordinar al lui C Pam Zhang, Cât aur ascund aceste coline, iar invitatul lui Filip Standavid este jurnalistul și cititorul de cursă lungă Marius Constantinescu. Cât aur ascund aceste coline e un debut rapid remarcat - a ajuns pe lista lungă a Premiului Booker -, dar e greu să spui din prima, în câteva cuvinte, despre ce este: goana după aur din California, de la mijlocul secolului al 19-lea, e pe terminate, iar personajele acestui roman - Lucy și Sam - tocmai ce-au rămas fără tată. Ele pornesc la drum să caute cel mai potrivit loc de veci pentru tatăl lor și nimeresc într-un soi de western cum puține există.

AAWW celebrates the paperback launch of C Pam Zhang’s debut novel How Much of These Hills is Gold, which was longlisted for The Booker Prize, among other accolades. Since its publication last spring, this haunting, spare, and achingly beautiful novel has been widely praised for turning its unflinching gaze on the people and legends of the American West, illuminating the voices of those who are often forgotten in the margins of history. Joining Pam in conversation to celebrate her book is writer and comedian Karen Chee.

Compared by The New York Times to Faulkner's As I Lay Dying and Steinbeck's mighty The Grapes of Wrath, C Pam Zhang's How Much of These Hills Is Gold? brilliantly reimagines both the American West and the Classic American Western. Longlisted for the Booker, it tells of Chinese American orphans Lucy and Sam's quest through the Californian hills during the Gold Rush as they seek to bury the body of their father in a homeland that constantly tells them “this land is not your land.” Chaired by Mirandi Riwoe

Ba dies in the night; Ma is already gone. Newly orphaned children of immigrants, Lucy and Sam are suddenly alone in a land that refutes their existence. Fleeing the threats of their western mining town, they set off to bury their father in the only way that will set them free from their past. Along the way, they encounter giant buffalo bones, tiger paw prints, and the specters of a ravaged landscape as well as family secrets, sibling rivalry, and glimpses of a different kind of future. Both epic and intimate, blending Chinese symbolism and re-imagined history with fiercely original language and storytelling, How Much of These Hills Is Gold is a haunting adventure story, an unforgettable sibling story, and the announcement of a stunning new voice in literature. On a broad level, it explores race in an expanding country and the question of where immigrants are allowed to belong. But page by page, it's about the memories that bind and divide families, and the yearning for home.

Three books that explore the world through the eyes of minorities and outsiders: Angie Cruz on Dominicana, After Australia anthology and C Pam Zhang's alternative version of the American West.

We talk about C Pam Zhang's stunning debut about two young orphans surviving in the twilight of the American Gold Rush. This book takes some reading and the podcast is mainly Hajar rambling her way through how she felt about it, but we highly recommend you get yourself a copy. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but it's an absolute work of art. We discuss the usual topics of identity and class with a healthy dose of swearing but unfortunately just one disappointingly flat one-star review. Great news for the author, not so good for us.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-dabblers-book-club. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

An electric debut novel set against the twilight of the American gold rush, two siblings are on the run in an unforgiving landscape—trying not just to survive but to find a home. Ba dies in the night; Ma is already gone. Newly orphaned children of immigrants, Lucy and Sam are suddenly alone in a land that refutes their existence. Fleeing the threats of their western mining town, they set off to bury their father in the only way that will set them free from their past. Along the way, they encounter giant buffalo bones, tiger paw prints, and the specters of a ravaged landscape as well as family secrets, sibling rivalry, and glimpses of a different kind of future.

But page by page, it's about the memories that bind and divide families, and the yearning for home.

One surefire way to lift yourself out of the shelter-in-place doldrums is to engage with someone whose enthusiasm for life and literature is more infectious than any coronavirus. Wayne Koestenbaum joins Kate, Eric, and Daya to discuss his new collection of essays Figure it Out; what ensues is a conversation with exuberant inspirations at every turn. Share this one with your friends, it will renew their faith in living the literary life. Also, Cathy Park Hong, author of Minor Feelings, returns to recommend two foreboding works of recent literature (as if to counterbalance Wayne's optimism): C Pam Zhang's novel How Much of These Hills is Gold; and Joyelle McSweeney's new book of poetry Toxicon and Ariadne.
