Daily Quote 生命的意义在于付出,在于给予,而不是在于接受,也不是在于索取。(巴金) Poem of the Day 秋天 顾城 Beauty of Words Mrs. Dalloway Virginia Woolf
14. mai 1925 ga Virginia Woolf ut Mrs Dalloway på det egne forlaget, Hogarth Press. Romanen, som har blitt en klassiker innenfor modernismen, gir oss innblikk i Clarissa Dalloway, Septimus Warren Smith, Peter Walsh og flere andres liv en junidag i London 1923. På et par hundre sider utforsker Woolf, blant annet, hvordan et menneskeliv henger sammen. 14. mai 2025 møttes professor Marit Grøtta og bokhandler Johanne Gullberg, med redaksjonsleder Siri Häggqvist på Litteratur på Blå for å feire Mrs Dalloways 100-årsdag. I samtalen gjøres et dypdykk i romanen og dens plass i sin samtid og i vår tid, med utgangspunkt i modernisme. Som Peter husker at Clarissa en gang sa: «Og for å kjenne henne, for å kjenne noen, måtte man oppsøke menneskene som utfylte dem; stedene også» (oversatt av Merete Alfsen).
Dans ce 28e épisode de Pop-Code, nous abordons le film "Dalloway" sorti en 2025, réalisé par Yann Gozlan. Le film suit une écrivaine en manque d'inspiration et sa relation à une IA qui s'immisce de plus en plus dans sa vie. Dans cet épisode, on discute pour voir à quel point l'IA générative est vraiment disruptive, de son impact sur la créativité ainsi que sur les métiers intellectuels et artistiques.

Il tempo, il tempo impazzito della nostra quotidianità che ci sommerge, ci angoscia, ci divora, preme su di noi facendoci sentire quel senso di vertigine che a fine giornata ci lascia senza fiato. Il tempo, la sua scansione sono elementi fondanti anche di un racconto, di un romanzo come ci raccontano alcuni grandi classici della letteratura, uno tra tutti Mrs. Dalloway di Virginia Woolf, ma anche i nostri ospiti di questa puntata di Alice che hanno deciso di ambientare le loro storie nell'arco di un tempo limitato e preciso.Con Paolo Di Stefano scopriamo il suo nuovo romanzo Una giornata meravigliosa e con Massimo Gezzi al microfono di Moira Bubola, responsabile del Centro competenza cinema e letteratura, scopriamo Adriatica il suo primo lavoro in prosa. Entrambi usciti per Feltrinelli. Del tempo – quello meraviglioso – parliamo nel nostro consiglio di lettura con Marta Morazzoni, voce letteraria e critica nota del panorama italiano, ed è il tempo animale. Con Marta Morazzoni andiamo nei boschi nordici e nella casa del coniglio di Tove Jansson nel suo romanzo riedito da Iperborea L'onesta bugiarda ricordando quel tempo animale, creaturale e naturale che appartiene anche a noi umani ma di cui spesso ci dimentichiamo. Nel romanzo di Paolo Di Stefano proverbiale è il gatto… Buon ascolto!undefinedundefinedundefined

El narrador es uno de los elementos más importantes de un texto narrativo, pero a pesar de su importancia muchas veces la atención que se le presta no va más allá de decidir si usaremos una primera o una tercera persona. De esa falta de atención a la voz que narra nacen errores como el del que hoy te quiero hablar.Repasemos en qué consiste ese filtro del narrador y repasemos algunas formas de acabar con él para que tu narración gane en elocuencia y sea más capaz de sumergir al lector en la historia. Lo haremos con algunos ejemplos, incluido uno tomado de La señora Dalloway, de Virginia Woolf. ¿Listo? Pues empezamos.-----Si te ha gustado este contenido, recuerda puntuarnos con 5 estrellas, comentar y compartir el episodio; así nos ayudarás a llegar a más escritores y conseguir crear una gran comunidad.-----✉️ Todas las semanas publicamos nuevos artículos en exclusiva solo para nuestros suscriptores.

French pop star Mylène Farmer makes a rare appearance as the voice of an AI-powered virtual assistant in "Dalloway", which deals with some of the darker sides of creativity in Yann Gozlan's latest film. Manon Kerjean, the founder of Lost in Translation, a film club screening French features in Paris for non-French speakers, joins us to discuss the merits of this "Black Mirror"-adjacent movie. We also discuss Pierre Schoeller's psychological thriller "Rembrandt" and reflect on the complexities at the centre of the troubled relationship between Yves Montand and Simone Signoret, as the actress and singer's lives are examined by Diane Kurys in "C'est Si Bon". And Manon flags up a Maurice Pialat retrospective at the Cinémathèque Française that provides an insight into the iconoclastic French filmmaker.

‘He stood still in the gloom of the hall, trying to catch the air that the voice was singing and gazing up at his wife. There was grace and mystery in her attitude as if she were a symbol of something.' A special episode this week, as we join Sally in conversation with James Bowen, the podcast's producer and a fellow teacher of literature. Listen for a conversation on the role of objects in narratives, and the way in which characters reduce one another to symbols in modernist literature, ranging across Joyce's short story ‘The Dead' (1904) to Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927). You can find out more about James and his work here. Alice Jolly's novel, The Matchbox Girl, discussed near the end of the episode is forthcoming with Bloomsbury, and is available to pre-order from all good booksellers. The wonderful piano music in the closing section is ‘Monday', by Paul Seba. You can listen to more of his work here. This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen. Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus. A note on the sound: We are still experimenting with this format, and apologise that the sound levels are a touch more uneven than normal. As such, you may need to set the volume at a slightly higher level than you normally might when playing this episode!
To end our second year of Rosebud, we have one of our most charming, talented and brilliant theatrical dames: Dame Eileen Atkins. Dame Eileen is a uniquely talented writer and actor, both on stage and screen - from Cranford, to the RSC, to The Killing of Sister George on Broadway, to Upstairs, Downstairs and The House of Eliot (which she co-created), to Mrs Dalloway (for which she wrote the screenplay). And this is one of our most entertaining interviews yet, with stories from Dame Eileen's long life and career . From her early years in Tottenham, when a gypsy going door-to-door prophesied that the three year-old Eileen would be a world-famous dancer, to her career as a child performer playing the working men's clubs, to her school days in Edmonton - the anecdotes from Eileen's life are brilliantly told. We then hear about her days at drama school, her friendship with Sir Alec Guinness and a couple of very funny stories from her working life. This is a fitting end to a fabulous two years for our podcast. We're very proud of the show we've created, and of our community of listeners - we're grateful to each and every one of you for your emails, your ears, your reviews, and your time. Thank you so much for being here with us! And thank you to Dame Eileen for this special conversation. Here's to many more years of Rosebud to come. Enjoy this. Hosted on Acast.

“Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself”: So reads one of the great opening lines in British literature, the first sentence of Virginia Woolf's classic 1925 novel, “Mrs. Dalloway.”The book tracks one day in the life of an English woman, Clarissa Dalloway, living in post-World War I London, as she prepares for, and then hosts, a party. That's pretty much it, as far as the plot goes. But within that single day, whole worlds unfold, as Woolf captures the expansiveness of human experience through Clarissa's roving thoughts. On this week's episode, Book Club host MJ Franklin discusses it with his colleagues Joumana Khatib and Laura Thompson.Other books mentioned in this episode:“The Passion According to G.H.,” by Clarice Lispector“A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing,” by Eimear McBride“The Lesser Bohemians,” by Eimear McBride“To the Lighthouse,” by Virginia Woolf“Orlando,” by Virginia Woolf“A Room of One's Own,” by Virginia Woolf“The Hours,” by Michael Cunningham“Headshot,” by Rita Bullwinkel“Tilt,” by Emma Pattee Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

The Writer Files: Writing, Productivity, Creativity, and Neuroscience
Bestselling, award-winning author, and founder of the LA Review of Books, Tom Lutz, returned to talk with me about life in the French countryside, his writer's residency, and the greatest year in literary history, 1925. He's a Professor Emeritus of Creative Writing at UC Riverside, and the author of multiple bestselling and award-winning titles – translated into dozens of languages – including Doing Nothing (American Book Award winner), Crying, American Nervousness, 1903 (both New York Times Notables), and Born Slippy, his first novel. His latest, 1925: A Literary Encyclopedia, is described as an “… exploration of one of the richest moments in our literary and cultural history .… an explosion of literary innovation, from the rise of modernist masterpieces like Mrs. Dalloway and The Great Gatsby to a boom in pulp fiction.” Besides founding the Los Angeles Review of Books, "... a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and disseminating ... engaging writing on every aspect of literature, culture, and the arts," Tom also founded The LARB Radio Hour, The LARB Quarterly Journal, The LARB/USC Publishing Workshop, and LARB Books. He and his wife now run a residency for writers and artists in St. Chamassy, in France's Dordogne region.

“Once the flight had flown…” Taylor Swift is a master storyteller, but how does she tell those stories? In this week's Show & Tell episode, we're talking all about Narratology. We break down the structure behind the storytelling, unpacking flashbacks, fast forwards, stream of consciousness, and first-person limited narration through three brilliant Swift tracks. From fairy tale distortion in “Is It Over Now?”, a murder mystery arc in “No Body, No Crime,” to the heart-tugging Bildungsroman of “You're On Your Own, Kid,” this episode explores the how behind the heartbreaks, twists, and self-discoveries. Whether you're into literary theory, folklore, or just love a well-crafted bridge, you'll leave this episode with a deeper appreciation for Taylor's evolving narrative toolkit—and maybe a few English class flashbacks of your own.

For nearly as long as we've been waging war, we've sought ways to chronicle it. “Warfare,” a new movie co-directed by the filmmaker Alex Garland and the former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza, takes an unorthodox approach, recreating a disastrous real-life mission in Iraq according to Mendoza's own memories and those of the soldiers who fought alongside him. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss how “Warfare” 's visceral account brings us closer to a certain kind of truth, while also creating a space into which viewers can project their own ideologies. The hosts consider how artists have historically portrayed conflict and its aftermath—referencing Virginia Woolf's depiction of a shell-shocked soldier in “Mrs. Dalloway” and Vietnam-era classics such as “Apocalypse Now” and “Full Metal Jacket”—and how “Warfare,” with its emphasis on firsthand experience, marks a departure from much of what came before. “That personal tinge to me seems to be characteristic of the age,” Cunningham says. “Part of the emotional appeal is, This happened, and I'm telling you. It's not diaristic—but it is testimonial.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Warfare” (2025)“Apocalypse Now” (1979)“Full Metal Jacket” (1987)“Beau Travail” (1999)“Saving Private Ryan” (1998)“The Hurt Locker” (2008)“Zero Dark Thirty” (2012)“Barry” (2018–23)“Mrs. Dalloway,” by Virginia Woolf“In Flanders Fields,” by John McCraeNew episodes drop every Thursday.
