Author Lucy Ferriss and host Catherine Nichols discuss Elizabeth Bowen's 1938 novel The Death of the Heart. They discuss the unique narrator—16-year-old Portia, almost unimaginably innocent and stubborn about refusing to learn the hard lessons of life—and whether her demands are reasonable within the world of the book, or the actual world. Lucy Ferriss is the author of eleven books, including her latest collection, Foreign Climes: Stories, which received the Brighthorse Books Prize; and the 2022 re-release of her novel, The Misconceiver. Other recent work includes the 2015 novel A Sister to Honor, as well as essays and short fiction in American Scholar, New England Review, Prairie Schooner, and elsewhere. Forthcoming in 2023 is a book of essays from Wandering Aengus Press, Meditations on a New Century, as well as Christina Stead's The Man Who Loved Children, a monograph in Ig Publishing's Bookmarked series. She is Writer in Residence Emerita at Trinity College. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Una de las grandes novelas de la rentré literaria es La Ciudad, de Lara Moreno (ed. Lumen), en la que tres mujeres sometidas a distintas violencias conviven sin hablarse. Una de ellas, Oliva, se envuelta en una relación de maltrato de la que, a pesar de su formación, de su independencia económica e incluso de su feminismo, no sabe salir. Ha sido la historia que Lara más autorizada se sentía a escribir, pero no por ello ha sido más fácil que las de Horía, una inmigrante marroquí que viene a los campos de Huelva y encuentra algo muy distinto al paraíso, o la de Damaris, colombiana, que cuida a los hijos de una familia tras haber dejado atrás a la suya. Como libróloga, Lara Moreno se ha enfrentado a retos difíciles: novelas para reconciliarse con la ciudad (todo Monserrat Roig, que te reconcilia con la vida, o El país de los otros, de Leila Slimani (Cabaret Voltaire) que te lleva a otro lugar), novelas con la música en el centro ("Un buen chico" de Javi Rodríguez, en Mondadori, que es un libro sobre la sumisión química adelantado en varios años a su tiempo), libros que combinen investigación con narración ("Los muertos y el periodista" de Óscar Martínez, en Anagrama), libros que cuenten una historia de maltrato desde el punto de vista del maltratador ("Lolita" de Nabokov o "El hombre que amaba a los niños", de Christina Stead, en Pretextos) y, finalmente, una novela sobre la amistad entre dos amigas: "Nubosidad variable", de Carmen Martín Gaite, en Anagrama.

Ann-Marie Priest talks about her new book, 'A Free Flame' with ABC Radio's Rhianna Patrick The book is available for purchase here: http://avidreader.com.au/products/a-free-flame HIGHLY COMMENDED IN THE 2016 DOROTHY HEWETT AWARD FOR AN UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT 'I need to be a writer, ' Ruth Park told her future husband, D'Arcy Niland, on the eve of their marriage. 'That's what I need from life.' She was not the only one. At a time when women were considered incapable of being 'real' artists, a number of precocious girls in Australian cities were weighing their chances and laying their plans. A Free Flame explores the lives of four such women, Gwen Harwood, Dorothy Hewett, Christina Stead and Ruth Park, each of whom went on to become a notable Australian writer. They were very different women from very different backgrounds, but they shared a sense of urgency around their vocation - their 'need' to be a writer - that would not let them rest. Weaving biography, literary criticism and cultural history, this book looks at the ways in which these women laid siege to the artist's identity, and ultimately remade it in their own image. This podcast was recorded by Avid Reader Bookstore in Brisbane as part of our year-round events schedule.

"...'Therefore,' he reasoned with himself, 'it is love coming to claim me: I have been so long without love, hated at home, living in terror of my children's lives: it is pure, tender, normal love.' He began to think of other things..." - Christina Stead, The Man Who Loved Children
