“I start with the emotion. I don't know what the story is. I don't know who the characters are necessarily. I'm working on very little like, I'm thinking, ‘oh, well, the way this light looks through a window', or something — very few details here and there. But I don't know what happens in this story.” Join three amazing authors talking about their three fabulous fall reads: If I Survive You by Jonathan Escoffery, The Book of Goose by Yiyun Li and Bliss Montage by Ling Ma. The authors speak with Poured Over's host, Miwa Messer, about the balance between humor and dread, how they start a project, some of their favorite writers & more.

Paya bardzo zachęca Was do zapoznania się z twórczością Lucii Berlin, a spośród wielu tematów, które pisarka porusza w swoich opowiadaniach, skupiamy się na alkoholizmie wśród kobiet.

Welcome to the April Bookish Series with the freakin perfect amazing goddess Briana Soler, AKA @bribeatris. Her aesthetic; you're wandering a new city after finding a surprisingly amazing coffee shop during your stroll. There's homie knick-knack shops, artists and street performers playing jazz. You then stumble across this bookstore. The sign is tastefully worn. The window has curated book piles with a casual mess, yet flowers in delicate vases and lamps add an elegant laissez faire. You walk in. It's warm. It smells of leather, denim and black tea leaves. Vintage furniture provides comfort to the space. Tall, dark wood shelves are lined with used, new, favorites and donations. Some books are even tucked into thrifted cabinets with golden knobs. There's color, there's language. It feels like home. It feels like you want to sit here and get to know this place. I don't know why I haven't done this BEFORE. But truly, this is the only way I can describe her aesthetic. This episode really plucked my heart strings on my Soul guitar. We discuss imposter syndrome as a reader, a creator and a writer. We discuss how fictional tales allow us to find our own. We discuss mood reading and how we read, which our weird reader nuances. We discuss how books have created connections far beyond our definition of joy, in the best way. I can't wait for you to get cozy and giggle with us.

We ease our way back into breakfast book chat after our summer intermission with an episode on what we read ourselves during the summer. Enda chooses Lucia Berlin's A Manual for Cleaning Women, while Peter selects Deer on the High Hills: Selected Poems by Iain Crichton Smith, edited by John Greening. We also give a shout out to this weekend's Fingal Poetry Festival and to forthcoming and recently published books such as Hugo Hamilton's The Pagesand Colm Tóibín's The Magician.No Toaster Challenge this morning as we're getting the toaster fixed, but it will be back in operation next week.

Lucia Berlin died years before her collection "A Manual for Cleaning Women" became an international bestseller. Berlin's friend and former student Elizabeth Geoghegan reads her story, "Mama," and songwriter Rebecca Rego performs a song written in response.

Christmas Day, I lost my dear Granny. The woman who taught me to sew, who showed me incredible kindness , and who showered me with unconditional love and acceptance. I've been reflecting on our special bond, but also how important the women in my life are to me. Women not only rule the world. but influence and watch over mine. This episode is a testament to the women who inspire us, guide us, and teach us. I interview my friend/songwriter/singer Rebecca Rego. She has released a new album inspired by her connection to a book of short stories by the writer Lucia Berlin, specifically her collection of works titled " A Manual for Cleaning Women: Selected Stories" Rebecca plays live for us her song titled "Mama," from her new album " Songs for Cleaning Women," and it's not to be missed.

Tom and Holly again welcome the special guest Mary to the mic. Mary is a friend of the Pod and an avid/professional reader. She suggested the 2019 movie JOJO Rabbit directed by Taika Waititi. We discuss the comedy of the movie and how it creates a complex look at Nazi’s during this time period. The role of Imaginary Hitler sparks our interest, and we agree that Yorki is the best character ever. After we debate the dynamics of Nazi’s in the movie, we end on everyone’s favorite segment, reviewing a review in The Review Review. The review fairs well as it gets many triangles from us (no, you’re not supposed to know what that means yet).Sorry for the delayed release schedule as Corona is throwing a hefty wrench into things.

Tom and Holly host the eighth installment of Alive Poets Society, an episode where we discuss the short story “A Manual For Cleaning Women” by Lucia Berlin. Unfortunately, the story was not a fan favorite. Tom and Holly begin with a couple of things they liked about the piece, but the conversation quickly dives into the many shortcomings of the piece.

Parkland author Dave Cullen on everything you ever wanted to know about pitching and writing a topical nonfiction book at top speed (and going broke doing it).We talked to Dave Cullen, (https://www.davecullen.com/) about writing Parkland: Birth of a Movement (https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780062882943) , in ten months while he was 3 years overdue on his current book. "I'm just not gonna tell Gail," he said of his editor when he took the first assignment from Vanity Fair--but there was something going on with the Parkland students that grabbed him, and he--with the help of his agent, Betsy Lerner--grabbed it. "I just had to."He describes the process of writing the book, how the length, plan and due dates evolved--and how he almost went broke doing it. #FaveIndieBookstoreDave's #FaveIndieBookstore is Books & Books (https://booksandbooks.com/) in Miami Beach, FL.

Oscar winning star Cate Blanchett invites Mariella to her home in the South Downs to peruse her bookshelves. After being greeted at the door by Doug the Pug, the pair settle down to discuss Cate’s most loved books, discovering the role they’ve played throughout her life – whether as part of her Australian childhood or influencing her performances on stage and screen. In her picture book choice you’ll meet the Bunyip – a mythological creature whose story she loved so much she now reads it to her children. Then there’s the Russian magic realist classic that she found super sexy, and the brutal love story she sees as an ode to her homeland. Mariella and Cate find reoccurring themes; from gender politics to sexual harassment, cruelty within love, romance and the evolution of feminism. The pair move on to discuss the #MeToo movement, how to manage success as a woman and the perils of social media when it comes to sexual abuse claims. Their witty and thought-provoking chat dives deep into Cate’s life and thoughts, even briefly bagging Mariella a new job as Cate’s personal shrink. Cate’s choices: The book that… … She’s read to all her children: ‘The Bunyip of Berkeley’s Creek’ by Jenny Wagner, 1975 ...

We finally get around to discussing A Manual for Cleaning Women, the collection of exquisite Lucia Berlin stories that was published posthumously in 2015. In a nod to the years she spent living in South America, next up we'll be reading "The Garden of Forking Paths," by the great Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. (A pdf of the story is available here: http://mycours.es/gamedesign2012/files/2012/08/The-Garden-of-Forking-Paths-Jorge-Luis-Borges-1941.pdf)
In part 2 of our series of linked story collections that you absolutely must read, we revisit Denis Johnson's hallucinatory masterpiece. Next up, we continue in this vein with a look at Lucia Berlin's A Manual for Cleaning Women. Join us in two weeks!

Uusiosoittimet ovat tehneet uutta tulemistaan populaarimusiikin piirissä muuallakin kuin skiffle-piireissä. Uusien soittimien kehittelystä usein kierrätysmateriaaleista on tullut luovaa toimintaa uuden musiikin säveltämisen rinnalle. Yhtyeet kuten Einstürzende Neubauten ja Cleaning Women ovat tuoneet uusiosoittimet perinteisen Skiffle-maailman ulkopuolelle ja kierrätysmateriaalien käyttö sopii myös hyvin yhteen ympäristöä tiedostavan kulttuurin kanssa. Asiasta kertomassa lisää aiheesta artikkeleja kirjoittanut ja Purkkiorjat-yhtyeessä uusiosoittimilla soittava Vesa Anttonen.
