Miramos a Cuenca, a su museo de arte abstracto, donde se reivindica la figura de uno de sus impulsores: el pintor Antonio Lorenzo. Un pintor con ideas sobre el que hablamos hoy con el comisario de la muestra, el director de exposiciones de la Fundación Juan March a la que pertenece el Museo de Cuenca, y el nieto de ANTONIO LORENZO.Queda menos de una semana para las elecciones presidenciales de EE.UU. Serán el próximo 5 de noviembre y han sido días de intesa actividad en lo que los estadounidenses llaman 'rallyes', es decir, sus mítines, eso sí, 'A la americana'. O sea, todo lo grande: escenarios enormes, públicos multitudinarios y cómo no, la presencia de estrellas de primer nivel del mundo del cine, de la televisión y de la música. Repasamos con Jordi Urios los apoyos a ambos lados que han recibido los candidatos Donald Trump y Kamala Harris desde los artistas. Hoy os voy a hablar de pasar miedo leyendo, y no sólo leyendo, y también de reírse un poco, aprovechando que es Halloween, y que hay un montón de libros —y una serie en concreto— que puede que no tengáis en el radar y que creo que deberíais tener para disfrutar de esta noche aún más. Es lo que trae Laura Fernández: Stephen King - 'Los langolieros', Shirley Jackson - 'La noche en que todos tuvimos gripe', Mark Z. Danielewski - 'La casa de hojas', Catriona Ward - 'La última casa de Needless Street', Stephen Graham Jones - 'La noche de los maniquíes' o 'Mi corazón es una motosierra', 'La trilogía IREMONGER' - Edward Carey y 'Los seres queridos' - Evely Waugh.Escuchar audio

Two suitably spooky novels on this episode.First up, Erin E. Adams and her debut, Jackal. Published in the UK by Dead Ink Books and set in  contemporary Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Jackal is the story of one woman's determination to uncover the truth around the disappearance of a number of young black girls. A taught, psychological thriller, Erin's skill is undoubtedly in underscoring the existent horror within US society today.  'A tight, thought provoking novel that transcends genre'Los Angeles Review of Books'Erin E.Adams makes me proud to be a psychological thriller writer.'Gillian FlynnThen, Edith Holler. Set at the turn of the 20th century, within the confines of the Holler theatre in Norwich this the story of 12 year old Edith and her bloody battles with the sinister figure of Mawther Meg. Cursed to never leave the theatre and in thrall to her own domineering father, it is the tale of a young writer finding her own voice and a deeply personal love letter to the arts.'Umissable' Olga Tokarczuk'Delightful, eccentric, heartfelt, surprising, philosophical.'Eleanor Catton@fieldzine www.fieldzine.comwww.patreon.com/fieldzine

Welcome back.  This week on the KPL podcast we have bestselling author Edward Carey and we will be discussing his latest novel Edith Holler. A witty and entrancing story of a young woman trapped in a ramshackle English playhouse—and the mysterious figure who threatens the theater's very survival. Author RecommendationsThe Swallowed Man by Edward CareyKappa by  Ryūnosuke Akutagawa,Seeking Fortune Elsewhere by Sindya BhanooGolem Girl by Riva Lehrer

“Wasn't worth the pencil.“ Chatter rolls with David, Torie, and Jamie. Claude recounts his weekend covering the “triathlon of equestrian sports” in Maryland. They review status of the Musk and Sam Bankman-Fried books (Musk still beating SBF), and Torie revels gently about Jann Wenner's book not doing well.  They kick around the latest AI debate: Okay to use authors's work to “train” AI?  Nobody likes it, but nobody knows how to fix it either. Author Edward Carey zooms in to share “Edith Holler.” Truly original, it draws upon his writing, illustrating, and playwrighting experience. Fantastical and current all at the same time, “Edith Holler” is deep and highly entertaining at the same time.

This is the eighth episode of The Podgoblin's Hat, with Nina and Dave. You can find it on it's own feed wherever you get your podcasts. We're back with the second half of Moominpappa's memoirs, in which our brave hero becomes the subject of a country run by an Autocrat, starts a colony and meets his wife. Moomintroll has some very sensible notes for his Pappa in this half of the book, Sniff has some very good questions, but alas, we will never know why Moominmamma was in the sea. Our question for Snufkin this week comes from Helen Zaltzman. Our Spirits of the Moomins are Edward Carey's The Swallowed Man and Alice Tarbuck's A Spell in the Wild. Nina's other podcast, Even the Trunchbull, is our Spirit of the Podgoblin's Hat.

Miriam and Edward discuss what his life might have looked like if he'd never been selected for a certain large book retailer's prize in America, and thus never flown to New York and never met his wife, the novelist Elizabeth McCracken. Along the way they discuss the lives of objects, the original, and much darker, version of Pinocchio (not for the faint of heart) and at least one way to get yourself out of a creative fallow period.Edward is the author of the novels Observatory Mansions and Alva and Irva: the Twins Who Saved a City, and of the YA Iremonger Trilogy, which have all been translated into many different languages and all of which he illustrated. His novel Little, which took him a ridiculous fifteen years to finish, has been published in 20 countries and his novel The Swallowed Man is set inside the belly of an enormous sea beast. His most recent book B: A Year in Plagues and Pencils is a collection of drawings created over the first year of lockdown, and is truly an outward-looking tribute to creativity and connection in a time of isolation, and is available from your local bookshop. Edward has lived in England, France, Romania, Lithuania, Germany, Ireland, Denmark, and the United States and currently lives in Austin, Texas.Make sure to subscribe to hear the rest of Season 2 – in each episode, Miriam Robinson interviews a guest about a path their life might have taken and together, step by step, they write the stories of their unlived lives.Produced by Neil Mason#MyUnlivedLife Hosted on Acast.

There are stories that have clear cut endings, like the good has triumphed over evil, or the parties involved in a will-they-or-won't they get together, and then there are stories that have more open-ended endings. But no matter what kind of story you're writing, finding the right ending is essential. Ending too soon or too late, or too cleanly, can leave readers feeling unsatisfied. The problem is that the writing and the editing can go on and on, especially if you're the type that isn't easily satisfied with your work. So how do you do it? How do you know when you're done writing? And when you've got the story, how do you know when you're done revising? In this episode, join writers Edward Carey, Trent Hudley, and Alex Temblador as they discuss how they know when to put the pen down. This conversation will be moderated by WLT Program Director Sam Babiak.

Avsnitt 40 Levnadsöden med avstamp i verkligheten I detta avsnitt så upptäcker bokspanarna att skillnaden mellan det dokumentära och det påhittade är hårfin. Vilket är kanske tydligast i levnadsskildringar som inte är biografier. Men frågan är om det spelar någon roll egentligen. En bra historia är alltid en bra historia även om den delvis är sann. 01.00 Fågeln i mig flyger vart den vill - Sara Lundberg 05.08 Petite: [den nästan sanna historien om tjänsteflickan som blev Madame Tussaud], Edward Carey 11.57 Återvändsgränder : Min uppväxt i Palma de Mallorca av Gabi Beltrán Julia tipsade också om dessa titlar Berta Hansson - en biografi av Gunilla Carlstedt Mina ungar: dagboken från en byskola av Berta Hansson Barn av Berta Hansson

Edward Carey discusses ‘The Swallowed Man’ (Riverhead, Jan. 26), an author-illustrated retelling of ‘Pinocchio’ from Geppetto’s point of view: “A deep and grimly whimsical exploration of what it means to be a son, a father, and an artist” (Kirkus). Then our editors offer reading recommendations for the week, with books by Carole Boston Weatherford (illus. by Floyd Cooper), Aimee Nezhukumatathil, and Tove Ditlevsen.

Some people write books for adults, some write books for children, others narrate audiobooks, illustrate them, write plays, are lecturers... Edward Carey does all of it. His books are illustrated by hand, or feature photographs of the sculptures made by him. These include Observatory Mansions, Alma & Irva, The Iremonger Trilogy, Little, and his most recent novella, The Swallowed Man, and we chat about each of them. We babble about how his career has gone from being an employee of Madam Tussauds to writing a book about its founder, about our inner child and whether there’s any need to distinguish children’s books from adult books, his lockdown experience of narrating all his stories for audiobooks and the odd experience of being reintroduced to characters he’d written 10 years ago, as well as how he finds writing to be one of the most freeing, limitless art forms. Our interview is as varied as Edward's experience, and we can't wait to hear what you think.

On 11th March, Hatchards hosted a live event bringing together four of the authors who contributed stories to These Our Monsters : Sarah, Moss, Fiona Mozley, Edward Carey and Graeme Mcrae Burnet. I chaired the event, and recorded it for posterity. ----more---- Posterity has arrived now. The event began with readings by each writer. Here, Sarah Moss reads from her story, 'Breakyneck'. Having chosen Berwick Castle as her English Heritage location, Sarah tells a ghost story that excavates the site's violent past - above all, the pitiless exploitation of Irish workers drafted to build the 19th century railway line. These Our Monsters is a collection of modern folktales to be published by English Heritage, and featuring work by Edward Carey, Graeme Mcrae Burnet, Fiona Mozley, Sarah Hall and many others - including an introduction written by me.  Sarah Moss's website is: https: sarahmoss.org For more information on These Our Monsters, visit the English Heritage website, where you can also buy a copy.

Last year I was asked to write an introduction for a collection of modern folktales to be published by English Heritage. ----more---- The result was These Our Monsters, featuring work by Edward Carey, Graeme Mcrae Burnet, Fiona Mozley, Sarah Hall and many others.  I talked to three of the authors for This Writing Life podcast. The third is Graeme Macrae Burnet, whose brilliant His Bloody Project was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.  Graeme's 'The Dark Thread' tackled the most infamous, and perhaps the trickiest story in the book - Bram Stoker's visit to Whitby in 1890, which is often thought to have been a turning point in the composition of Dracula.  Graeme reads an early passage in the story, which shuttles fluently between the atmospheric setting of Whitby Abbey and Stoker's inner turmoil - his exhaustion, strained marriage, and tortured relationship with the actor Henry Irving.  Our interview will follow, as will readings by and conversations with Graeme Macrae Burnet and Edward Carey.  Graeme's website is: graememacraeburnet.com For more information on These Our Monsters, visit the English Heritage website, where you can also buy a copy.

The second is Fiona Mozley, whose debut novel Elmet was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.  Fiona's story in 'The Loathly Lady' was inspired by the Arthurian legend of Dame Ragnelle, supposedly the most hideous woman in the world who makes a trial of Sir Gawain's chivalry. The plot is a quest to find a different sort of holy grail: the answer to the question, 'What do women want?' Fiona reads an early passage full of puns and plays on words that establish Arthur's legendary status. Our interview will follow, as will readings by and conversations with Graeme Macrae Burnet and Edward Carey.  For more information on These Our Monsters, visit the English Heritage website, where you can also buy a copy.

Welcome to the latest edition of For Your Ears Only, packed with an abundance of titles to help you choose your next books, that will keep you company through the rest of the winter. As we enter into the new year you may want to discover some different authors, so how about trying the two new books by cosy crime author T P Fielden, or what about Elaine Roberts with her first family saga book called “The Foyles Bookshop Girls”. Then there is a book to take a chance on in the form of “Little” by Edward Carey, a fictional account of the life of Madame Tussaud, or embark on a quest to find out more about the universe in “The Planets” by Brian Cox and Andrew Cohen.

Last year I was asked to write an introduction for a collection of modern folktales, myths and legends to be published by English Heritage. ----more---- The result was These Our Monsters, featuring work by Edward Carey, Graeme Mcrae Burnet, Fiona Mozley, Sarah Hall and many others.  I talked to three of the authors for This Writing Life podcast. The first is Edward Carey, the novelist and illustrator whose works include the 'Iremonger Trilogy' and his fabulous novel about Madame Tussaud, Little. Edward's story 'These Our Monsters', which gives the book its title, is inspired by the legend of the Green Children of Woolpit, in Suffolk. Its extraordinary narrator is one of the villagers, whom I described (if memory serves) as two parts Gollum to one part Alf Garnet, as he attempts to make sense of this universe-altering visitation.  Edward's reading more than lives up to his prose.

... ist nicht immer das, was man sich wünscht. Wie also gestaltet man sein Leben? Wie bringt man familiäre und gesellschaftliche Gegebenheiten mit den eigenen Vorstellungen unter einen Hut? Damit befassen sich drei aktuelle Bücher. Und der Literatur-Stammtisch diskutiert darüber. «Nelly B.s Herz» erzählt vom Leben einer deutschen Flugpionierin. Nelly B. hat im Berlin der wilden zwanziger Jahre den Flugschein gemacht und leitet mit ihrem Mann eine Flugschule. Dann eröffnet ihr der Arzt, dass sie wegen eines Herzleidens nicht mehr fliegen darf. Für Nelly B. bricht eine Welt zusammen. Und ein neues Leben beginnt «Die Bagage» erzählt von einer einfachen Bäuerin, die für ihre traumhafte Schönheit büssen muss. Der Roman ist eine archaische und gleichzeitig nüchtern erzählte Familiengeschichte zu Zeiten des Ersten Weltkriegs. Unter anderem zeigt er, wie Menschen früher durch Lebensumstände regelrecht geknebelt sein konnten. «Das aussergewöhnliche Leben eines Dienstmädchens namens Petite – besser bekannt als Madame Tussaud» erzählt, wie aus einem Waisenmädchen eine Weltberühmtheit wird. Im ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert lernt die kleine Marie Grosholtz zufällig den exzentrischen Wachsbildner Doktor Curtius kennen. Er nimmt sie unter seine Fittiche und bringt ihr sein Handwerk bei. Am heutigen Literatur-Stammtisch sitzen Nicola Steiner und Franziska Hirsbrunner. Gastgeberin ist Britta Spichiger. Buchhinweise: Aris Fioretos. Nelly B.s Herz. Hanser Verlag, 2020. Monika Helfer. Die Bagage. Hanser Verlag, 2020. Edward Carey. Das aussergewöhnliche Leben eines Dienstmädchens namens Petite – besser bekannt als Madame Tussaud. C.H. Beck Verlag, 2020.

Bibliophile has grown! Our bookish babble can no longer be contained within the confines of a single audio file! Welcome to the first Bibliophile Book Club, where we talk exclusively about a single book! In this episode, we’re talking exclusively about the novel Little by Edward Carey and published by Gallic Books. Why does David […] The post Bibliophile Book Club #1: Little by Edward Carey appeared first on Golden Hare Books.

So often in the reading world we are chasing the latest new release, so it was a great pleasure to interview Simon Thomas who specialises in seeking out books from the past. We explore his unusual take on a book club where he and like-minded book bloggers read and review books from a particular year in the last century. This interview is full of gems and some great book club suggestions, so have a pen ready at the end! • Next up for the Book of the Year Club is 1965 and it starts in April. Check out Simon's website www.stuckinabook.com for more info. You can also find him on Instagram @Simonedwardthomas and on Twitter @stuck_inabook. And finally we recommend curling up for a listen to Simon's own podcast, Tea or Books, available on iTunes, in which he and his friend Rachel (Book Snob) debate the difficult decisions of reading and books. • Books mentioned on this show: The Provincial Lady by E. M. Delafield, Merry Hall by Beverly Nichols, Quartet in Autumn by Barbara Pym, Miss Hargreaves by Frank Baker, The Museum of Cheats by Silvia Townsend Warner, Little and Alva and Irva, both by Edward Carey and Simon's top book club suggestion Another Part of the Woods by Beryl Bainbridge.

The Mr B's Podcast (we're so sorry!) has been on a winter break, but we had a good excuse: we were hard at work with our shop expansion. Suitably, we also thought that the first episode of 2019 should focus on things which are kind of the same but not quite. Not that our new space is a replica of the old one...but you get the picture. Join us as we chat to authors Simon Garfield and Edward Carey, who both visited the shop at the end of last year. Simon Garfield's curious, insightful and entertaining book 'In Miniature' explores our ancient fascination with small versions of everyday things and the craftsmanship involved in making them. Edward Carey, a novelist very close to our hearts, has just published his first novel for adults - a superbly atmospheric fictional biography of the queen of replicas herself: Madame Tussaud.  Hosted by Jessica Johannesson with music by The Bookshop Band Browse through our Same but Different reading list

Edward Carey and books as gifts – happy new year; we’re back!   We had a bit of a longer break over Christmas, but we’re back and raring to go with a post-Christmas discussion about whether or not we like

A fictional memoir of Madam Tussaud, who founded the famous wax museum in London, takes listeners from the luxury of the French Court to the violence of the French Revolution. Petite Marie Grosholtz was nicknamed “Little,” but she was a powerhouse of spirit and perseverance. Narrator Jayne Entwistle is captivating and emotive as she tells Marie’s life in diary form.

Join us this Wednesday as we speak with Edward Carey

Clive Anderson and Arthur Smith are joined by Jessica Hynes, John Simpson, Edward Carey and Atiha Sen Gupta for an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy. With music from Lake Street Dive and Tawiah. Producer: Paula McGinley

Have a great idea for a book but aren't sure how to get started? Or maybe you need to a return to a project that has lain dormant for a while -- for whatever reason. Sometimes the trickiest part of writing is simply beginning. You can't finish what you don't start, but there is something overwhelming about the blank page or empty screen. And revisiting a manuscript you abandoned a while ago dredges up all kinds of fears and worries. So how do writers cope? How does one motivate him/herself to sit down every day and keep going? At our January 21, 2016, Third Thursday, moderator Jennifer Ziegler spoke with authors Edward Carey, Lindsey Lane, Greg Levin, and Suzy Spencer deal with the paralyzing effects of starting (or restarting) a manuscript.

Join us this week on Writing On the Air as we speak with novelist Edward Carey

Authors Abi Elphinstone and Jonathan Stroud join the gang to discuss three new children’s books. Plus an interview with Edward Carey, author of the Iremonger trilogy, and more from the children of Netley Primary School.

Nancy Pearl brings a book she says is going to be the book all the Harry Potter fans will flock to.   "The Iremonger Trilogy, written and illustrated by Edward Carey.  "Heap House" is the first of the trilogy.  Nancy says that ever since the Harry Potter books, she has been looking for the next book that will appeal to Potter fans with a story that is new and fresh. Here it is. Carey is telling a tale not of good versus evil, but of humans doing what they do to our little world.  Also, "Battle Lines: A Graphic History of the Civil War," by Ari Kelman gives a reader a different way to look at a history that is still in dispute in this country.  She says it also gives her a renewed respect for the power of the graphic book.

This campus fishbowl discussion considers the ethics and economics of unpaid internships. Are they mutually beneficial for both intern and employer? Or do they take advantage of students and eliminate jobs for others? Is there a negative consequence for students who cannot afford to work for free? How should public policy address this burgeoning, and sometimes manipulative, free labor market? Discussants also offer students practical advice for seeking worthwhile internships and making the most of their experience no matter what route they choose. Discussants include: Pamela Ahearn, Director of the Summer Internship Program; Edward Carey '14; Joshua Congdon-Hohman, Assistant Professor of Economics; Kelly Dyer '14; and Roseann Fitzgerald '78, Director of Research and Prospect Management. Thomas M. Landy, McFarland Center Director, moderates.
