The long-awaited essay collection from one of the most influential voices in disability activism that detonates a bomb in our collective understanding of care and illness, showing us that sickness is a fact of life. In the wake of the 2014 Ferguson riots, and sick with a chronic condition that rendered them housebound, Johanna Hedva turned to the page to ask: How do you throw a brick through the window of a bank if you can't get out of bed? It was not long before this essay, "Sick Woman Theory", became a seminal work on disability, because in reframing illness as not just a biological experience but a social one, Hedva argues that under capitalism--a system that limits our worth to the productivity of our bodies--we must reach for the revolutionary act of caring for ourselves and others. How to Tell When We Will Die: On Pain, Disability, and Doom (Zando-Hillman Grad Books, 2024) expands upon Hedva's paradigm-shifting perspective in a series of slyly subversive and razor-sharp essays that range from the theoretical to the personal--from Deborah Levy and Susan Sontag to wrestling, kink, mysticism, death, and the color yellow. Drawing from their experiences with America's byzantine healthcare system, and considering archetypes they call The Psychotic Woman, The Freak, and The Hag in Charge, Hedva offers a bracing indictment of the politics that exploit sickness--relying on and fueling ableism--to the detriment of us all. With the insight of Anne Boyer's The Undying and Leslie Jamison's The Empathy Exams, and the wit of Samantha Irby, Hedva's debut collection upends our collective understanding of disability. In their radical reimagining of a world where care and pain are symbiotic, and our bodies are allowed to live free and well, Hedva implores us to remember that illness is neither an inconvenience or inevitability, but an enlivening and elemental part of being alive. Johanna Hedva (they/them) is a Korean American writer, artist, and musician from Los Angeles. Hedva is the author of the essay collection How To Tell When We Will Die: On Pain, Disability, and Doom, published September 2024, by Hillman Grad Books. They are also the author of the novels Your Love Is Not Good and On Hell, as well as Minerva the Miscarriage of the Brain, a collection of poems, performances, and essays. Their albums are Black Moon Lilith in Pisces in the 4th House and The Sun and the Moon. Their work has been shown in Berlin at Gropius Bau, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Klosterruine, and Institute of Cultural Inquiry; in Los Angeles at JOAN, HRLA, in the Getty's Pacific Standard Time, and the LA Architecture and Design Museum; The Institute of Contemporary Arts in London; Performance Space New York; Buk-Seoul Museum of Art and Gyeongnam Art Museum in South Korea; the 14th Shanghai Biennial; Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zürich; Modern Art Oxford; Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Bolzano; the Museum of Contemporary Art on the Moon; and in the Transmediale, Unsound, Rewire, and Creepy Teepee Festivals. Their writing has appeared in Triple Canopy, frieze, The White Review, Topical Cream, Spike, Die Zeit, and is anthologized in Whitechapel: Documents of Contemporary Art. Their essay “Sick Woman Theory,” published in 2016, has been translated into 11 languages. Learn more about your ad choices.

Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher speak with writer and scholar Simon Critchley about his new book, Mysticism. Defining mysticism not as a religion but as a “tendency, a distillation of existing devotional practice,” the book begins by considering some of the great mystics of the Christian tradition. These include Critchley's favorite mystic, Julian of Norwich, known as the first woman to ever write a book in English, Margery Kempe, Christina the Astonishing, and Meister Echkhart, a German theologian who influenced philosophers like Hegel and Heidegger and was tried as a heretic shortly after his death by Pope John in 1329. But more than a history or survey of mysticism, Critchley's book is invested in isolating the loss of self and experience of ecstasy its practitioners describe, and looking for resonance within contemporary culture. He examines the work of writers such as Anne Carson and Annie Dillard, and the musician Nick Cave, suggesting that mysticism lives on as a secular aesthetic experience in the “world of enchantment opened in art, poetry and—especially—music.” Also, Deborah Levy, the author of The Position of Spoons: And Other Intimacies, returns to recommend two books scheduled to be published next year, On Breathing: Care in a Time of Carastrophe by Jamieson Webster, and Baldwin: A Love Story by Nicholas Boggs.

"Il male che non c'è" (Bompiani) è il nuovo romanzo di Giulia Caminito, premio Campiello 2021 con "L'acqua del lago non è mai dolce". Stavolta racconta la storia di un giovane uomo, Loris, e della sua ipocondria, "il male che non c’è" appunto, ma che lui sente profondamente. Il dolore per Loris assume quasi delle rappresentazioni fisiche, afferra gli organi, viene rappresentato da un'entità chiamata Catastrofe che assume di volta in volta sembianze diverse. Loris si sta così allontanando lentamente da tutti (dalla fidanzata e dai genitori) perché resta concentrato sul suo male, sull'idea che sia necessario esplorare il corpo dall'interno per verificare se c'è malattia.Nella seconda parte parliamo di un'autobiografia "in movimento", quella creata da Deborah Levy, scrittrice inglese nata in Sudafrica, attraverso tre romanzi: "Cose che non voglio sapere", "Il costo della vita" e ora in libreria "Bene immobile" (NN editore - traduz. Gioia Guerzoni). Il racconto di stralci della vita della protagonista sono l'occasione per una riflessione universale sul ruolo assegnato dalla società alle donne, sulla maternità, sulla solitudine e sul ruolo della letteratura. In "Bene immobile" la narratrice è impegnata a immaginare una casa ideale nel momento in cui deve cambiare casa dopo un divorzio e dopo che la figlia più piccola si è trasferita. Immagina di comprare una villa con un melograno in giardino e questo gioco di immaginazione la porta a riflettere su temi cari alla sua letteratura, come le donne e i loro desideri, spesso nascosti.

La Barra Libre de hoy de Aloma Rodríguez, nos trae a la autora sudafricana, Deborah Levy, y su última novela 'Azul de Agosto'. También aprovecha para fardar de las hermosas vistas de donde vive.Escuchar audio

In the seventh episode of How to Write a Book, Elizabeth Day's new podclass series, hosts Sara Collins, Sharmaine Lovegrove and Nelle Andrew take a slightly more structured approach to their discussion, having plotted out how best to talk about plot. We open up with wise advice on plot mastery  from Nelle, who as a literary agent, has taught hundreds of writers about this tricky discipline. Where should you begin when it comes to structuring your ideas? How do plots vary across commercial and literary strands? Where does the snobbishness around “the plottiest of plots” come from? And why novels with an interior focus, or stream of consciousness writing, still need to be plotted. Together, Sara, Sharmaine and Nelle are your on-hand writing community giving you the push you need to get started on that novel, memoir, or piece of non fiction you've always dreamed of writing. And because every great plot should have a cliffhanger, we're doing part 2 of PLOT next week! Books discussed in PLOT (part 1 and part 2) include: •  Secret History by Donna Tart •  Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins •  The Confessions of Frannie Langton by Sara Collins •  Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn •  Fingersmith by Sarah Waters •  August Blue by Deborah Levy We also talk about: Jonathan Coe, Cormac McCarthy, Sara Collins' new novel, Ghost Story,  Succession, Thomas Hardy,  Deborah Levy, Rachel Cusk, Toni Morrison, Will Storr, Elizabeth Strout, classical music and hip-hop.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the esteemed writer and novelist, Chloe Aridjis, speaking on her friend, LEONORA CARRINGTON! Born in New York City, raised in the Netherlands and then Mexico City, Aridjis is a writer of numerous award-winning books, including three novels: Book of Clouds, Asunder, and Sea Monsters. Aridjis is also the author of numerous books and essays, including an A–Z profile on the artist we are very excitingly discussing today: Leonora Carrington, the great late British-born painter, who ran away to Paris in her teens before escaping Europe at the outbreak of the Second World War, and settling in Mexico City in the 40s, where she lived until her death in 2011. And it was in Mexico City that Aridjis got to know the surrealist, who she had tea with on Sundays and noted their extroardnary conversations that she published in, among others, Tea and Creatures with Leonora Carrington: A Photo Essay… a beautiful piece that looks at their friendship. In 2015, Aridjis went on to co-curate a major exhibition of Carrington's work at Tate Liverpool, affirming her as one of the greatest and most relevant artists to today's world. This episode is going to be slightly different to usual, as back in 2019 – for one of our first ever podcast episodes – we discussed the life of Leonora Carrington with her biographer cousin, Joanna Moorhead. We also discussed Carrington briefly with writer Deborah Levy – so do check those out. But! Today I couldn't be more excited to be delving into Arjidis's memories with the artist, uncovering the mystical symbolism that populates her work – from vegetables to cats, eggs to giants, cauldrons to kitchens, underworlds to hybridised figures – her friendships, character, and of course her paintings and writings, too.

Rencontre animée par Marie-Madeleine Rigopoulos Interprète : Marguerite Capelle À 25 ans, Sofia travaille comme serveuse en attendant de finir sa thèse. Elle semble avoir mis sa vie entre parenthèses pour s'occuper de sa mère, Rose, qui souffre d'une mystérieuse maladie des os. Elles quittent Londres pour la côte andalouse, où Rose est prise en charge au sein de la luxueuse clinique du très controversé docteur Gómez, un médecin aux méthodes et aux motivations douteuses, mais qui apparaît comme son ultime chance de guérir. Enivrées par la chaleur épaisse et la séduction des corps sur la plage envahie de méduses, les deux femmes voient leur relation imploser quand Sofia rencontre Ingrid Bauer, une jeune allemande qui réveille son désir et sa quête d'identité. À travers les figures opposées de la mère et de la fille, Deborah Levy déploie un roman initiatique aux allures d'éducation sentimentale à la Sagan, une ode sensuelle et intemporelle à la puissance féminine. À lire – Deborah Levy, Hot Milk, traduit de l'anglais par Céline Leroy, éd. du sous-sol, 2024

Bernard Hickey talks with property academic Deborah Levy about her research into the changes in the way bach owners feel about their holiday homes. Where once the bach was the centrepiece of 'the kiwi dream', a place for friends and families to gather, relax and create memories, they have now become a financialised asset to be added to the portfolio of the increasingly wealthy few. What's behind this change? What insights can this research give into the rest of our dysfunctional national property market? Listen in to find out. Learn more about your ad choices.

Je viens de terminer le livre dont Nathalie Iris, de la librairie Mots en marge à La Garenne-Colombes, va nous parler. Il est très dépaysant spatialement parce qu'il se passe entre la Grèce et Paris, temporellement parce qu'il se passe dans les années cinquante, mais aussi parce que l'univers de la photo emporte les personnages.  Avant de lire ce roman, j'avais terminé un livre dont une partie se passe aussi en Grèce, État des lieux de Deborah Levy. L'espace d'un instant, je me suis demandé si la maison occupée par Deborah Levy n'était pas celle d'Odile.   www.onethinginafrenchday.com  

We think of fashion and reading as almost polar opposites: one is about creating an image, the other a kind of internal journey. But a number of recent fashion collections have been inspired by books, including by Hanya Yanagihara, Edgar Allan Poe, and Agatha Christie. Fashion brands are producing literature podcasts and hosting salons. And in interior design, TikTok's latest trend is bookshelf wealth. On today's episode, writer Simon Chilvers talks us through what's behind the rise of literary fashion. Links: – Simon Chilvers' piece, ‘Fashion's Love For Literature': https://on.ft.com/3Iu1vlD – And another great piece by Simon on fashion in literature: https://on.ft.com/48HiqMd – ‘Bookshelf wealth is the oldest decorating trick in the book': https://on.ft.com/49K2dYb – Simon is on Instagram @schilvers3 and X @simonchilvers – Simon also wants to see the fashion world embracing author Deborah Levy and Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux.

Alix Dunmore's lilting voice and English accent capture the musicality of Deborah Levy's audiobook. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Alan Minskoff discuss this fascinating portrait of a woman in crisis. Elsa, a virtuoso pianist, is at a standstill. She dyes her hair blue and sets about inventing a new persona. The pandemic is taking place as the plot moves around Europe. Elsa's quest is aided by a doppelganger who appears sometimes as a person, sometimes as a figment of Elsa's imagination. Levy expertly creates scenes packed with meaning as Elsa comes to understand her provenance, passion, and place in the world. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website.

We begin this episode talking about ghosts, because of course we do. We also chat about E3's influence and our relationship with it as both fans and games journalists, but honestly that bit isn't nearly exciting as when we're chatting about spooky things that have happened to us. We eventually remember what this podcast is actually about, quickly moving on to chat about our favourite games from this year's endless parade of Not-E3 showcases. Kicking us off, Rebecca can't wait to open her own portable second-hand bookshop in the brilliant looking Tiny Bookshop. She's also keen to get her hands on Still Wakes The Deep, an enigmatic horror game set aboard an oil rig off the coast of Scotland. Rachel on the other hand can't wait to play more of En Garde!, but she's also been enjoying clambering up cliff faces in Jusant and is intrigued by recursive puzzler Cocoon (which our Ed also reckons is good). True to form, Liam is excited for anti-capitalist cat game Revenant Hill, the gorgeous Sword Of The Sea and the quiet, rural vibes of Kibu. Seeing as its pride month (happy pride month!) section two is all about our picks from Itch's generous Queer Games Bundle. As always we wrap things up with our hyperfixations. Rachel has run out of things to watch, and insists you all give her recommendations by sending an email to podcast@rockpapershotgun.com. Rebecca has been reading Imogen, Obviously by Becky Albertalli and Liam has been reading Hot Milk by Deborah Levy. Indiescovery is a podcast from RockPaperShotgun.com.

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!

Comment la contrainte à l'hétérosexualité nourrit le patriarcat D'où viennent nos désirs ? Comment sont-ils construits ? Comment évoluent-ils ? Quelles possibilités s'offrent à nous pour les découvrir, et les vivre ? À travers les récits de femmes devenues lesbiennes après de longs parcours hétérosexuels, cet épisode s'interroge sur ce que l'autrice féministe Adrienne Rich appelle « la contrainte à l'hétérosexualité ». Comment cette orientation sexuelle perçue comme naturelle est-elle en réalité socialement construite et imposée ? Comment participe-t-elle à rejouer les normes de genre, et par là même l'appropriation du corps et du travail des femmes par les hommes ? Que vivent ces femmes qui sortent de l'hétérosexualité ? Comment réinventer l'hétérosexualité pour qu'elle ne soit plus un outil du patriarcat ?
