Buon compleanno Thomas Mann! Oggi 150 anni fa a Lubecca, sotto una buona stella, cosi almeno ne era convinto, nasceva il Premio Nobel per la letteratura, il tedesco più rispettabile del tempo, il mago, come lo chiamavano in famiglia, che dal suo cilindro, dai Buddenbrook alla Montagna magica al Doktor Faustus ci ha regalato delizie e gemme letterarie di rara bellezza. Ma qual era il segreto della sua scrittura? E quella vita cosi impeccabile, cosi borghese, cosa nascondeva?Lo scopriamo grazie a due grandi nomi del panorama letterario europeo e sono Colm Toibin, tra i maggiori scrittori irlandesi contemporanei, autore del romanzo Il mago (Einaudi) e Tilmann Lahme, germanista e storico tedesco che da anni studia da vicino la famiglia Mann e pochi giorni fa ha pubblicato un'ampia biografia (Thomas Mann: Ein Leben, dtv) che ne ripercorre la vita grazie a testi e lettere fin ora inediti come quello di una giovanissima Susan Sontag che incontra Thomas Mann e scrive le sue impressioni. Un testo che viene stampato in prima assoluta in questo volume. Questo Laser conclude la settimana di Rete Due dedicata a Thomas Mann grazie al dossier che ogni giorno - attraverso una voce autorevole - ne ha raccontato la vita e le opere. Oggi sarà la volta di Anna Ruchat che approfondirà il Thomas Mann politico a partire dalla sua presa di posizione contro il regime nazista nel 1936 con una letttera pubblicata sulla “Neue Zürcher Zeitung”.undefined

Caravaggio is celebrated this summer in Rome with a once-in-a-lifetime meetup of paintings normally living in museums around the world. Colm Toibin, Orit Gat and Luke Clancy went to see that blockbuster in the Barberini and then gathered to imagine what the painter might mean to the 21st century.

The Irish novelist has always been open to where life can unexpectedly take him, and the excitement that comes with that kind of freedom.Colm Toibin's first big move was from rural Ireland to Dublin after his father died when he was young. Then, it was off to experience the wild hedonism and sexual liberation of post-Franco Spain, a pleasant shock after needing a prescription to buy condoms in Ireland.Since then, he's journeyed to Sudan, Los Angeles, New York and beyond.Wherever Colm goes, he keeps a running list in his head of tiny details — observations of seemingly mundane encounters, an offhand comment or the cut of a lady's suit on a train.Every now and then, these details bubble up in Colm's memory and another of his well-loved novels, like Brooklyn, Nora Webster or The Master, is born.This episode was produced by Meggie Morris.

What can leaders learn from bees about creating lasting change in organizations? Siobhan McHale tells Kevin that bees recognize when a hive is overcrowded and the need for a new home. They notice what is emerging and act, which many organizations fail to do. Kevin and Siobhan discuss how leaders can harness the power of group intelligence to foster agile, resilient organizations. She introduces the "Lens Model," a four-part, non-linear framework that includes Look Beyond: Identify and understand hidden patterns that drive organizational behavior. Experiment: Test small changes to discover effective solutions within the system. Nudge: Use subtle shifts to encourage change without creating resistance. Strengthen: Reinforce emerging changes to ensure they become embedded in the organization's culture. She also talks about GQ, or group intelligence, as a necessary complement to IQ and EQ in today's complex world.

Irish novelist Colm Toibin's latest book is “Long Island” which continues the life story of Eilis Lacey, the complex and enigmatic heroine from his previous best-seller, “Brooklyn”

Award-winning Irish writer Colm Toibin has long admired James Baldwin, ever since he read “Go Tell It on the Mountain" as a teenager, and has now written a book about him called simply “On James Baldwin.” When he picked “Go Tell It on the Mountain" from a shelf years ago, Toibin hadn't heard or read anything about the novel, one of Baldwin's most famous works. And without any pretense, he found himself immersed in the book's words and characters. Reading it later in life as an accomplished author and professor, Toibin's respect grew for Baldwin's skill at depicting the human experience defined by interiority rather than external events. Toibin shares his insights with host Razia Iqbal, and describes how Baldwin managed to satisfy so many different kinds of readers — giving them  a diversity of ideas and perspectives to take away from the pages.Toibin is the author of 11 novels, including “The Master,” “Brooklyn” and “Nora Webster.” He's also written essays, journalism and a book of poetry. His work's been shortlisted for the Booker Prize three times and he has won the Costa Novel Award and the Impact Award. He writes regularly for the New York Review of Books, the London Review of Books, the New York Times and many other publications. He is the Irene and Sidney B. Silverman Professor of the Humanities at Columbia University in New York, where we sat with him in his office, teeming with books, papers, and as you'll hear, a love for Baldwin.  Tell us what you think.

Sich noch einmal neu erfinden, das ganze Leben umwerfen und seinem Herzen folgen – das kann ein Plot sein für einen sehr kitschigen Roman oder auch für einen sehr lebensklugen, wie den, den der bekannteste irische Autor, Colm Toibin, geschrieben hat. (Erstausstrahlung: Juni 2024)

"Pas grand-chose sur à peu près tout" de Bernard Dobbeleer : À l'occasion des 45 ans de la sortie de "Rapper's Delight" de The Sugarhill Gang, il sera question de Sylvia Robinson, celle qui a propulsé le rap dans une ère industrielle et commerciale. Le coup de coeur de Gorian Delpâture : "Long Island" de Colm Tóibín (Grasset). Tout bascule lorsqu'un inconnu à l'accent irlandais frappe à la porte d'Eilis Lacey. Après vingt ans de mariage, Tony et elle profitent du confort offert par les années 1970 aux familles américaines. Installés à Long Island, ils ont deux enfants, bientôt adultes, et mènent une vie tranquille où les seuls tracas proviennent de l'oppressante belle-famille italienne d'Eilis. Mais en apprenant au seuil de sa maison que Tony l'a trompée et qu'une autre femme attend un enfant de lui, ce bonheur patiemment construit vole en éclats. Sans promesse de retour, elle part en Irlande, à Enniscorthy. Rien n'a changé dans sa ville natale, ce monde clos où, de générations en générations, tout se sait sur tout le monde. Alors qu'il a repris le pub familial, même Jim Farrell est resté tel qu'il était vingt ans plus tôt, pendant l'été qu'Eilis et lui avaient passé ensemble, bien qu'elle fût déjà secrètement fiancée à Tony. La blessure du départ d'Eilis est toujours vive mais son retour ravive cet amour de jeunesse – et l'Amérique s'éloigne plus que jamais… À partir de 16h00, Jérôme Colin et ses chroniqueurs vous offrent toute l'actualité culturelle : cinéma, musique, littérature, théâtre… Toujours avec une touche d'humour.

Cuando la tormenta pase es el título de la novela que ha ganado el Premio Fernando Lara. Su autor es Manel Loureiro. Suspense, giros de trama, sorpresas… y Ons, una isla enigmática y aislada del mundo. Mitos, leyendas y la rivalidad enquistada de los Docampo y los Freire dan sustancia a este thriller extraordinario. Daniel Fopiani ya nos ha dejado muestras inequívocas de su talento para construir buenas historias de género policiaco. Y por eso siempre es grato reencontrarnos con él. El linaje de las estrellas es su última novela. En el Panteón de los Marinos Ilustres de San Fernando aparece el cuerpo de un joven mutilado. Una esvástica dibujada con cortes aparece junto al cadáver. Asesinatos rituales y sociedades ocultistas nazis se pasean por las páginas de este thriller. Viajamos también a la Viena de principios del siglo XX con Carla Montero y La piel dorada. Y entre las novedades, Colm Toibin recupera a Eilis, la protagonista de Brooklyn, con Long Island.

Long Island by Colm Toibin. It's a sequel to the book Brooklyn which came out a few years ago and was made into a terrific movie – though this can easily be read on its own. Eilis moved to NYC from Ireland and married an Italian guy in Brooklyn. Twenty years later she's living claustrophobically with her husband Tony's family deeply embedded in her life. A stranger arrives to say that Tony has fathered a child with his wife and when the baby comes he intends to dump it on their doorstep. She retreats home to Ireland and while there, reconnects with a man she'd loved and left behind. The nuance of relationships and the sense of place are really powerful – Colm Toibin is a master of both and this book is a joy to read. Lies and Weddings by Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians. This is similar, in that he writes about very, very rich people – and others masquerading a wealthy when in fact they're hiding behind a pile of debt. Rufus Leung Gresham is the future Duke of Greshamsbury and has a lifestyle to maintain – but in fact he's desperate for financial help and his mother decides the best way out of the mess is for him to attend his sister's wedding at a luxury eco-resort and find a rich woman there to marry – what could possibly go wrong? If you liked Crazy Rich Asians – and who didn't – you'll love this. Full of big brand names (most of which I'd never heard of and had to keep googling) and the lifestyles of the fabulously wealthy (or those who just wish they were).

Colm Tóibín's 2009 novel “Brooklyn” told the story of a meek young Irishwoman, Eilis Lacey, who emigrates to New York in the 1950s out of a sense of familial obligation and slowly, diligently begins building a new life for herself. A New York Times best seller, the book was also adapted into an Oscar-nominated movie starring Saoirse Ronan — and now, 15 years after its publication, Tóibín has surprised himself by writing a sequel.“Long Island,” his new novel, finds Eilis relocated to the suburbs and, in the opening scene, confronting a sudden crisis in her marriage. On this week's podcast, Tóibín talks to Sarah Lyall about the book and how he came to write it.

This week, Irish novelist Colm Toibin discusses his short story collection, Mothers and Sons, which explores the unspoken and shifting dynamics in these relationships. Toibin is the author of Brooklyn, which was made into an Oscar-nominated feature film starring Saoirse Ronan, as well as Nora Webster, The Magician and more. His latest novel, Long Island, is the sequel to Brooklyn.

Gonzalo Giner, el autor de El sanador de caballos, regresa a las librerías con dos protagonistas que enseguida captan nuestra atención lectora: una ladrona de obras artísticas y un atractivo emir obsesionado con la figura del gran héroe islámico Saladino y por los caballos, sobre todo, de aquellos que pertenecieron a grandes personajes de la historia. La novela se titula La sombra de los sueños.En la sección de Audiolibros, Brooklyn, de Colm Toibin, uno de los autores irlandeses más prestigiosos.

Sí, al primer volumen de cuentos que publicó Augusto Monterroso lo llamó "Obras completas (y otros cuentos)" (Alianza). No se confundan con el título  porque fue su debut literario, pero qué debut. Ahí estaba su mítico cuento "El dinosaurio", el más corto de la historia, siete palabras "Cuando despertó, el dinosaurio todavía estaba allí".  También había otros cuentos míticos en esta primera aparición literaria del escritor guatemalteco: "Vacas", "Mr Taylor" u "Obras completas", que no es un todo, sino sólo un cuento. De Augusto Monterroso hemos hablado con Leticia Sánchez Ruiz , autora de "Fragmentos del mapa del tesoro: la biblioteca personal de Augusto Monterroso" (Pez de Plata). En 2008 la viuda de Monterroso, Bárbara Jacob, donó la biblioteca personal del escritor a la Universidad de Oviedo, y allí están para el que la quiera visitar con sus nueve mil volúmenes y sus cinco toneladas de peso. Y la genialidad de Leticia Sánchez ha sido convertirse en una especie de detective entre los libros de Monterroso y contarnos sus preferencias, sus subrayados, sus manías, sus correcciones, lo consejos que dejaba en los márgenes de los libros, sus rectificaciones de malas traducciones. Es tan maravilloso que llega un momento que crees que Monterroso es un personaje de una novela escrita por Leticia Sánchez Ruiz. Además de Monterroso han entrado en la Biblioteca hoy por hoy los libros que Antonio Martínez Asensio ha relacionado con la actualidad: "Obra maestra" de Juan Tallón (Anagrama) por l muerte de Richard Serra, y por las fechas de Semana Santa, ha entrado por primera vez "La Santa Biblia" (Editorial San Pablo)  y  "El testamento de María" de Colm Toibin (Lumen) . La invitada, Leticia Sánchez Ruiz, ha donado tres libros en nombres de Augusto Monterroso: "El ingenioso hidalgo D. Quijote de la Mancha" de Miguel de Cervantes (Alfaguara), "Popol Vuh" Anónimo (Alianza Editorial) y "Obras completas" de Jorge Luis Borges (Emecé). Las novedades que hoy ha traído el empleado de la biblioteca Pepe Rubio han sido "La península de las casas vacías" de David Uclés (Siruela) y "Las bestias" de Gijs Wilbrink (Bunkerbooks). Pascual Donate  ha rescatado de la redacción el libro "De guerra en guerra: de 1914 a Ucrania" del filósofo francés Edgar Morin (Popular). Por último Antonio Martínez Asensio ha incorporado la novela que protagonizará su programa "Un libro , una hora", "Mi Antonia " Willa Cather (Alba). Y nos quedan los oyentes que han sumado: 'Tea Rooms: Mujeres obreras', de Luisa Carnés. 'Tengo miedo torero', de Pedro Lemebel y 'Mi amiga brillante', de Elena Ferrante.

En la Biblioteca de Antonio Martínez Asensio sumamos títulos como 'Obra maestra' de Juan Tallón, 'El testamento de María' de Colm Toibin. Además, conocemos la biblioteca de Augusto Monterroso de la mano de Leticia Sánchez Ruiz que ha publicado 'Fragmentos del mapa del tesoro: la biblioteca personal de Augusto Monterroso. Después, de la mano de Fernando Neira y sus historias musicales, conocemos la trágica muerte de Marvin Gaye, que este 1 de abril se cumplen 40 años y nos acompaña la artista y psicóloga María de la Flor, que nos presenta su último trabajo 'Resalada'.

Eliot as "one of the greatest short stories ever written". Leaning heavily as always on the wisdom of honorary Bloomcasters Declan Kiberd and Colm Toibin, they cover orchestrated dinner parties, ego death, the circularity of human life, the music of words, and much more.Carrying forth a Bloomcast tradition, they also play a festive game, populating competing dinner parties with characters from Dubliners and Ulysses.Happy New Year (and Joycension Day)!*Mentioned in the podcast:‘The Dead', by James Joyce: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Dubliners/The_DeadProf. Declan Kiberd, ‘Dubliners: The First 100 Years,' at the James Joyce Center (2014):https://youtu.be/A5qhK7LH6co?si=1zFc7EH7AOpuL1mqDubliners, with an introduction by Colm Toibin (Canongate): https://canongate.co.uk/books/1488-dubliners/London Review of Books. ‘Arruginated', by Colm Toibin: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/n17/colm-toibin/arruginatedJohn Huston's 1987 film adaptation of ‘The Dead': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkos62UPwVk“The Lass of Aughrim,” from the Huston film:https://youtu.be/I1CP5Lz2iHE?si=yfxE-koZ3PVngWIcAnnie Baker's Infinite Life: https://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/productions/infinite-life/ Circles by Ralph Waldo Emerson: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2944/2944-h/2944-h.htm#link2H_4_0010  *Alice McCrum is a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at Princeton University.

Our Bloomcasters reconvene on January 6th, “Joycension Day”, to discuss The Dead : the final piece in Joyce's Dubliners, described by T. S. Eliot as "one of the greatest short stories ever written". Leaning heavily as always on the wisdom of honorary Bloomcasters Declan Kiberd and Colm Toibin, they cover orchestrated dinner parties, ego death, the circularity of human life, the music of words, and much more.Carrying forth a Bloomcast tradition, they also play a festive game, populating competing dinner parties with characters from Dubliners and Ulysses.Happy New Year (and Joycension Day)!*Mentioned in the podcast:‘The Dead', by James Joyce: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Dubliners/The_DeadProf. Declan Kiberd, ‘Dubliners: The First 100 Years,' at the James Joyce Center (2014):https://youtu.be/A5qhK7LH6co?si=1zFc7EH7AOpuL1mqDubliners, with an introduction by Colm Toibin (Canongate): https://canongate.co.uk/books/1488-dubliners/London Review of Books. ‘Arruginated', by Colm Toibin: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/n17/colm-toibin/arruginatedJohn Huston's 1987 film adaptation of ‘The Dead': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkos62UPwVk“The Lass of Aughrim,” from the Huston film:https://youtu.be/I1CP5Lz2iHE?si=yfxE-koZ3PVngWIcAnnie Baker's Infinite Life: https://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/productions/infinite-life/ Circles by Ralph Waldo Emerson: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2944/2944-h/2944-h.htm#link2H_4_0010 *Alice McCrum is a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at Princeton University.

Tommy Orange is a Native American author whose debut novel burst onto the literary scene in 2018. The book garnered a Pulitzer Prize nomination, and praise from literary giants such as Colm Toibin and Margaret Attwood. It's called There There, and it chronicles the Native American experience far from the reservation, in the cities that were the final stop in a centuries-long campaign of assimilation and erasure. The story takes place in Oakland, CA, and it's told through the eyes of a large and fascinating bunch of characters. There There has been chosen as the 2023 One Maryland One Book selection, and Orange joins us to discuss it.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

Their poetry quilt project starts at the fairy fort. It is meant to celebrate their shared DNA and rekindle any of Shannon's latent Celtic fire. Their arts residency, a creative paradise, is buzzing with egocentric and renown artists, writers, poets, celebrities, and staff from Ireland, Germany, Russia, England, and France.  The big house is in dire need of repairs and the director is desperate for funding. When a thwarted heiress arrives with offers of corporate sponsorship and a world-class exhibition-- in exchange for the residents' recorded audio diaries detailing artistic creative processes, Shannon makes some unwise choices. Andi Watson IpaktchiCo-Creator, Actor, ProducerAndi is a multi-disciplinary American artist who lives in Paris.

Kate Wolf is joined by the Turner prize-winning artist Helen Cammock to discuss her new book, and current exhibition at Art and Practice in Los Angeles, I Will Keep My Soul. Both are drawn from Cammock's time in New Orleans—which she began to visit early last year—and address the city's social history, geography, and community. Her book brings together poetry, film stills, photography, collage, and a number of archival documents from the Amistad Research Center. One of the focuses of Cammock's research is the artist Elizabeth Cattlet, an active member of the Civils Rights Movement who taught in New Orleans early in her career in the 1940s before leaving the US for Mexico. Decades later, she received a commission to create a sculpture of Louis Armstrong in Congo Square, a historical meeting place for enslaved people in the city. Cattlet's words and work are woven throughout the book, and evoke the rich accumulations of history that are ever present, and constantly presenting themselves, within a contemporary encounter of place. Also, Colm Toibin, author of A Guest at the Feast, returns to recommend Claire Keegan's Small Things Like These.

Colm Tóibín joins Eric Newman and Kate Wolf to speak about his latest book, a collection of essays, A Guest at the Feast. The book brings together an inspiring range of pieces that Tóibín has published over the last three decades, from his visceral, forthright, and very funny essay on his cancer diagnosis and treatment, to the stirring title essay of the collection, which is an episodic remembrance of his youth in the small town of Enniscorthy in Ireland. The collection also features Tóibín's political commentary, with pieces that draw on his days as a reporter and magazine editor—including coverage of the 1983 Supreme Court case against homosexuality in Ireland and his appraisals of three popes—as well as his masterful literary criticism in considerations of the authors Marilyn Robinson, Francis Stuart, and John McGahern. Also, Jenny Liou, author of Muscle Memory, returns to recommend Koon Woon's collection of poetry Water Chasing Water.

Writer/director/friend of the show John Butler (Handsome Devil! Papi Chulo! Amazon's The Outlaws!) makes a return appearance from a similarly rainy Dublin, for a conversation that goes to unexpected, beautiful and nameless places. Along the way, we dive into: standup specials, Colm Toibin, Bronski Beat, Heartstoppers, Barbarian, Edmund White, being along vs. being lonely, a unique and rarely-discussed form of queer love and grief, the special magic of Irish Sea, and, you know, GOD.

Few novels are as simultaneously literary and accessible as Colm Tóibín's 2004 novel “The Master”. Regardless of whether you know the eponymous master referred to is Henry James, or if you're an avid James devotee, this book treats everyone equally. Everyone, that is, except Henry James, who we meet in his 50s and on the verge of the biggest failure of his prodigious career. Rather than drag the reader through a whole-life narrative, Tóibín focuses on a five-year period of flux, a period dominated by self-doubt, repression, regret, ambition and perhaps most of all, ambiguity. It is this latter quality of James, a cat-like elusiveness to categorisation, which the “The Master” captures so well. It's a novel that doesn't rely on plot to drive the story forward, but rather relies upon an alluring atmosphere of ambiguity that sweeps our eyes across its pages like mist over rolling hills. Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include: "The Master" by Colm Toibin “The Victim” by P.D. James “The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King” by J.R.R. Tolkien Additional segments throughout the podcast include: Inner Shelf Fact or fiction What are you reading?

A fictional biography of German Nobel Prize winning writer Thomas Manne (and his extraordinary family) by Irish writer Colm Tóibín, with The Magician; and a roadtrip across America in Emily Gale's Wild Abandon. But what do these writers read?

Liv speaks with Dr. Victoria Austen about the wide world of mythology and classical reception: Troy, Circe, Silence of the Girls, Song of Achilles, even the Aeneid as reception. Books mentioned: The Song of Achilles and Circe by Madeline Miller, The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker, A Thousand Ships and The Children of Jocasta by Natalie Haynes, a trilogy by Emily Hauser, Ariadne by Jennifer Saint, The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood, Lavinia by Ursula Le Guin, and the House of Names by Colm Toibin.CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.
