What biases are you bringing to the story? - into readable prose (and his other magical novels like Exit West) and David Szalay's attempt to condense modern masculinity from teen to OAP, as it roves Europe - in one book.

Un episodio che sentiamo sulla pelle: è la prima volta che registriamo avendo entrambi sfondato il maledetto muro dei 30. Passaggio esistenziale, cambio di decennio e mazzata di malinconia: 3 in 1.Sono già tanti, tantissimi, i libri "da trentenni" che abbiamo consigliato, en passant, nel corso dei mesi (giusto per fare qualche nome: Sally Rooney, Zerocalcare, Chiara Sfregola, David Szalay, Marco Missiroli, Frédéric Beigbeder...), ma stavolta l'intento è dichiarato fin dall'inizio. Il filo rosso è ancora più spesso, ancora più... rosso!L'età comincia a essere scomoda e dai prossimi compleanni forse inizieremo a mentire, ma finché dura vorremmo tenere botta. Contiamo sul vostro aiuto, vero?Libri consigliati:Il regno animale di Francesco BianconiPaura di volare di Erica JongPromemoria di Andrea Bajani

Der Kanadier David Szalay erzählt eindrucksvoll vom nomadischen Leben in unserer globalisierten Welt. Eine Rezension von Andreas Wirthensohn.
Eine Art Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten, die aber alle miteinander verbunden sind und einmal die Welt umrunden - so beschreiben Andi und Andrea “Turbulenzen” von David Szalay, das sie für Folge #16 gemeinsam gelesen haben. Andi hat uns “Die Zeit der Wildschweine” von Kai Wieland mitgebracht, einen Reiseroman, in dem sowohl Rastlosigkeit und Orientierungslosigkeit als auch Verwurzelung und Heimat zentral sind. Außerdem die Frage: Wie sollte man die Welt eigentlich darstellen? Andrea stellt uns “Schwarzpulver” von Laura Lichtblau vor. Berlin in sehr naher Zukunft, eine Partei an der Macht, die rechtskonservativ und populistisch ist - der Roman ist manchmal gruselig nah an der Wirklichkeit. Auf Instagram wollten wir von euch wieder wissen, für welche Gelegenheit ihr eigentlich noch nach einem Buch sucht. Dieses Mal empfehlen wir: Liebesromane ohne Klischees und Bücher mit Tiefgang. Seite an Seite findet ihr auch auf instagram: @seiteanseite.podcast Diese Bücher wurden besprochen: “Turbulenzen” von David Szalay (Hanser) “Die Zeit der Wildschweine” von Kai Wieland (Klett-Cotta) “Schwarzpulver” von Laura Lichtblau (C.H. Beck)

Bevezetésként pezsgőgőzös hangulatban emlegetünk föl néhányat az első 49 adásból, de szigorúan a spontán emlékezés jegyében, ugyanis minden adás egyenként is és együtt is a kedvencünkJ. Olyan írókkal folytatjuk, akik 50 fölött kezdtek el írni, majd bulika Rita Orával és Liam Payne-nel. Mindezek után még arra is marad időnk, hogy 1850-be és 1950-be kalandozzunk és megnézzük, milyen témák foglalkoztatták ekkor a nagy írókat a házasságtöréstől a vakságon át a robotikáig. Köszönjük nektek ezt az 50 adást, nagyon jól érezzük magunkat veletek! És reméljük, tetszik csodás ünnepi logónk, amelyet Szugyiczky István tervezett nekünk.

David Szalay discusses his novel All That Man Is which was shortlisted for the Man Booker prize in 2016. All That Man Is is a meditation of modern man told through the stories of nine men from across Europe, who are all at different stages of their lives. David says the three ages of man was present in his mind as the nine stories fall naturally into youth, middle age and older age. The characters are seemingly unrelated, and their stories are rooted in a contemporary reality, with David presenting the driving ambitions of each man in various stages of life. As well as the preoccupations of time passing and aging, the book is also about contemporary Europe, with characters in different social settings from Cyprus to Copenhagen, Budapest to Mayfair. The book was published just before the 2016 European Referendum, but David, who currently lives in Budapest, says his aim was not to pass any political judgment, but to describe modern European life as it is. Also important to him was the comic element of men's lives – from obsessions like booze to sex to social status, and how comedy can be redemptive, with incapacity being both funny and sad at the same time.

Louise Doughty talks about her novel Apple Tree Yard, which went on to be a popular BBC television drama. It is the story of Yvonne, a high-flying married scientist, whose personal life is, by turns, erotic and troubled and, eventually, disastrous. Completely out of character, Yvonne has consensual sex with a stranger in the Palace of Westminster. So begins an affair with a man called Mark which in the end leads them both to the dock of the Old Bailey. Much of the book is told through Yvonne’s unsent emails to Mark. Through them we come to understand Yvonne - the conflicts between her professional and private life, the pressures on her and her family and the horror of an act of violence that becomes the hinge of the story. James Naughtie presents, and a group of readers ask the questions.

Twelve flights. Twelve travellers. Twelve stories. David Szalay talks about his new book, Turbulence, which features lives in turmoil, each in some way touching the next. David Szalay was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2016 – and Turbulence is an original Radio 4 commission. The 55th annual Golden Horse awards, dubbed the "Chinese Oscars", saw An Elephant Sitting Still win best picture. Created by novelist-turned-director Hu Bo, who adapted it from his own book, it tells the story of four people in a society plagued by cruelty and violence. As the film is released in the UK, critic Simran Hans gives her verdict and Asian film expert, Andrew Heskins, discusses the wider landscape of cinema in China and the way the industry is changing.This weekend UNESCO added the reggae music of Jamaica to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage, a programme that looks to protect and promote traditions or living expressions of cultural identity. To discuss the programme and the decision to include reggae on this year's list we speak to Assistant Director-General for Culture of UNESCO Ernesto Ottone, plus music journalist Kevin LeGendre considers what this means for reggae.

To celebrate its place on the shortlist for the 2016 Man Booker Prize we have an interview with David Szalay about his novel All That Man Is. Is the modern male in crisis and what does this fractured tale across Europe have to tell us about them? Alex Clark interviews a man with an unsparing glance into the inside of men's heads.Follow us on twitter: twitter.com/vintagebooksSign up to our bookish newsletter to hear all about our new releases, see exclusive extracts and win prizes: po.st/vintagenewsletterDavid Szalay - All That Man IsSHORTLISTED FOR THE 2016 MAN BOOKER PRIZEWinner of the 2016 Gordon Burn PrizeNine men. Each of them at a different stage of life, each of them away from home, and each of them striving – in the suburbs of Prague, beside a Belgian motorway, in a cheap Cypriot hotel – to understand just what it means to be alive, here and now.Tracing an arc from the spring of youth to the winter of old age, All That Man Is brings these separate lives together to show us men as they are – ludicrous and inarticulate, shocking and despicable; vital, pitiable, hilarious, and full of heartfelt longing. And as the years chase them down, the stakes become bewilderingly high in this piercing portrayal of 21st-century manhood. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Is there a crisis in masculinity? What does male friendship look like? Do gender norms harm both sexes and what can we do to challenge them?
