S. Shakthidharan's award-winning epic, Counting and Cracking, won seven Helpmann Awards and drew a huge audience to a story that many of them knew little about. Five years after its world premiere, Counting and Cracking is on in Melbourne as part of the RISING festival, after which it transfers to Sydney's Carriageworks and then New York.In 1972, a lecturer at the University of Adelaide was attacked at a gay beat and drowned. 50 years on, an oratorio shone a light into this appalling story and how his death changed Australia. Watershed: The Death of Dr Duncan is now being restaged by Opera Australia.

Christos Tsiolkas, the Australian writer best known for The Slap, talks about The In-Between, his visceral yet tender new novel about two men finding love in their fifties.

The Melbourne-based author talks about how his life has changed since his multi-award-winning 2008 novel ‘The Slap' made him one of Australia's most celebrated writers. Born to immigrant Greek parents, his writing confronts themes ranging from social and cultural tensions in modern Australia to faith, sexuality, class, race and the blights of communism in practice. His latest novel, ‘The In-Between' is a tender exploration of love between two middle-aged gay men. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hartley's 1953 novel, The Go-Between.

Einen Moment lang innehalten, zurückschauen und überlegen, vielleicht bei einem Becher Tee, wie das Jahr 2023 so gewesen ist: das machen Denise M‘ Baye und Sebastian Friedrich in dieser Folge von Tee mit Warum. Sie fragen bei Philosophinnen und Philosophen nach. Welcher philosophische Gedanke trägt euch durch die Zeit? Mesut Bayraktar, Eva von Redecker und Ina Schmidt erzählen von sich, schicken Grüße und denken weiter in das kommende Jahr. Einige betonen ihre Erschöpfung, andere den Zusammenhalt, die Zuversicht trotz Sorgen, Erschöpfung und vielen Krisenherden der Welt. Dazu kommen einige Mails von Euch und gesendete Grüße der Künstlerin Pia Danner aus Hannover. Und noch ein Tipp für ein herausragendes NDR Hörspiel in der ARD Audiothek: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/nur-eine-ohrfeige-hoerspiel-serie-nach-christos-tsiolkas/12813625/ Nur eine Ohrfeige Eine Grillparty läuft aus dem Ruder: Der vierjährige, antiautoritär erzogene Hugo bedroht mit einem Cricketschläger andere Kinder. Ein Erwachsener geht dazwischen und verpasst Hugo eine Ohrfeige. Die Angelegenheit eskaliert zu einem großformatigen Drama samt Polizei und Gerichtsverfahren - und verändert das Leben eines ganzen Freundeskreises. Die Hörspiel-Serie nach einem Roman von Christos Tsiolkas blickt hinter die Fassade von Mittelschichtsfamilien und hinterfragt Wert- und Moralvorstellungen.

Irma and Karen discuss the challenges of author photo shoots. Then Irma chats with Christos Tsiolkas about how reading Monkey Grip cross-legged in a bookstore was a seminal moment, and how his father – who couldn't read – made him the patient reader he is today, how the poor reception to his second novel The Jesus Man deeply bruised him and the overwhelming success of The Slap was the reverse experience, how acting techniques have influenced the way he writes characters, how he approached writing a love story, and the most challenging and joyous writing experiences he's had.

A special episode:  Anna chats with author Ennis Ćehić about his debut collection of short stories, Sadvertising. Ćehić is based in Melbourne and Sarajevo and writes about displacement, creativity and existentialism. The stories in Sadvertising are set in the advertising world and explore the tension between art and capitalism.  Satirical and very funny, with elements of meta-fiction and the surreal.  "A work of thrilling, audacious verve and wit ... deserves a standing ovation" (Christos Tsiolkas) and "powerful, inventive and self-assured" (Australian Book Review).  We loved this book!

‘7 ½ felt a little bit like being a young writer again. Physically I can't call myself that (laughs), but in writing 7 ½ I felt that. Like, let's just go by instinct, in a way...  7 ½ was a way of me trying to think of what it was about being a writer that I enjoyed, what was it that I wanted to do.'  The acclaimed author of novels such as The Slap, Damascus and Barracuda, Christos Tsiolkas is known as one of Australia's most beloved – and provocative – writers. In his latest novel, 7½, a novelist arrives in a secluded coastal town to escape the self-congratulatory moralism of the modern world and immerse himself in the beauty of nature. Here, he begins to write a book about an ageing ex-pornstar offered one last impossible-to-refuse job, and so begins a meditation on the choice between beauty and righteousness.    In this event at Montalto, Tsiolkas joined Angela Savage for a conversation about the power and transformative mysteries of art, creativity and transgression, as well as the moral crises affecting contemporary fiction. Enjoy a delicious lunch and thought-provoking conversation with a writer whose warmth and insight flows through even his most challenging work.   This event was recorded on 31 March 2022.

Debutar en la novela a los 49 años, como ha hecho Eva Cruz, llama la atención, pero no tanto como hacerlo a los 70, como hizo la inglesa Mary Wesley, para convertirse en autora de catorce bestsellers, demostrando que para todo hay tiempo. La autora de "Veinte años de Sol" (editorial ADN) y redactora del Hoy por Hoy habla de cómo surgió la novela (un desprendimiento de retina, un mensaje de Manuel Martín-Loeches sobre neurotecnología, una obsesión con portales inmobiliarios...) y receta libros a colaboradores del programa, como Bob Pop, Jaime García-Cantero o el propio Loeches. Desfilan por su consulta grandes autores: Juan Gabriel Vásquez ("Volver la vista atrás" en Alfaguara), William Boyd ("Las aventuras de un hombre cualquiera" en Alfaguara), Christos Tsiolkas ("La bofetada", en RBA), Alan Pauls ("El pasado", en Anagrama), Hervé Letelier ("La anomalía", en Seix Barral), Ted Chiang ("Exhalación", en Sexto Piso), Margaret Atwood ("La trilogía de Maddaddam", en Salamandra), Maggie O'Farrell ("Hamnet", en Libros del Asteroide), Tessa Hadley ("Lo que queda de luz" y "Amor libre" en Sexto Piso) o Mary Wesley ("El césped de manzanilla", en Alba).

There is no doubt that emotions like anger can be a proper response to the persistence of injustice or inequality or prejudice or cruelty in the world. But it can also be exhausting and insatiable in its desire for retribution, or to impose one's will upon the world. Should we, then, seek to renounce anger?
