Podcasts about Eekhout

Anne Eekhout schreef het boek Mary over Mary Shelley, de auteur van het wereldberoemde spookverhaal Frankenstein.  In deze podcast geeft ze een inkijkje in de roman. Hoe kwam Shelley op het idee om over het monster van Frankenstein te schrijven?  Wat inspireerde haar? En welke delen van het verhaal zijn waargebeurd? Maar we bespreken ook waarom het voor elke schrijver interessant kan zijn om  eens een spookverhaal te schrijven. Hoe kun je jezelf inspireren voor zo'n verhaal?    

Greg van Eekhout is sci-fi/fantasy author who writes for adults and middle-grade readers. Some of his books include "Cog" and "Voyage of the Dogs," and his latest book, "Weird Kid," just came out in November 2021.

Iedereen kent het monster van Frankenstein, maar weinigen weten dat dat monster ontsproten is aan het brein van de 18-jarige Mary Shelley. Anne Eekhout schreef over haar de historische roman Mary. Verder in Het Spoor Terug: het ware verhaal van de St-Elisabethsvloed, OVT 21-11-21.

Het zijn misschien wel de drie beroemdste woorden uit de filmgeschiedenis: “It's alive!” Dr. Frankenstein riep deze woorden uit toen zijn monster, door de bliksem getroffen, tot leven kwam. Hoewel iedereen wel het monster van Frankenstein kent, weten maar weinigen dat dat monster ooit ontsproten is aan het brein van een 18-jarig meisje tijdens een verregende zomervakantie in Zwitserland: Mary Shelley heette zij.Schrijfster Anne Eekhout was gefascineerd door Mary Shelley, en hoe zij in 1816 een monster tot leven wekte dat nog altijd tot onze verbeelding spreekt. Anne schreef er een historische roman over, Mary, en is te gast.

Annemieke Bosman spreekt schrijver Anne Eekhout over haar roman Mary Mary Shelley verblijft op haar veertiende bij een familie in Schotland, waar een innige vriendschap ontstaat met Isabella Baxter. Samen dwalen ze in het gebied dat al eeuwen verhalen herbergt over monsters en geesten, en op een dag stuiten ze diep in het bos op een man die geen man is. De ledematen log en lelijk, een hoofd dat noch menselijk, noch dierlijk is. Vier jaar later brengt Mary met haar geliefde Percy Shelley een bezoek aan haar vrienden John Polidori en Lord Byron, bij het Meer van Genève. 's Avonds bij het haardvuur vertellen ze elkaar verhalen. Een flintertje herinnering brengt haar terug naar haar tijd met Isabella in Schotland, en ook naar David Booth, een zeer intelligente, charismatische, maar tegelijk ook griezelige man, die een grote interesse in Mary en Isabella ontwikkelde. Dan dient ook het monster uit het bos zich weer aan, en vanuit die gedachte ontstaat haar verhaal over het monster van Frankenstein. 

In Dordrecht wordt dit jaar uitgebreid stilgestaan bij het feit dat het 600 jaar geleden is dat de Sint Elisabethsvloed plaatsvond. Bij die vloed kwam de Dordtse (of ‘Groote') Waard onder water te staan. Daarbij kwam een aanzienlijk aantal mensen om het leven, maar hoeveel is nog altijd onduidelijk. De ramp is dus vernoemd naar Sint Elisabeth. En dat is een bewuste keuze geweest. “Sint Elisabeth is de beschermheilige van de mensen in nood; bedelaars, vluchtelingen, mensen die getroffen zijn door een ramp”, zegt conservator Marianne Eekhout van het Dordrechts Museum. In het museum is tot maart van dit jaar de expositie Elisabeth en de Vloed te zien. In de zesde aflevering van de Dagvantoen-podcast geeft Eekhout antwoord op de vraag wie deze Elisabeth precies was en waarom de ramp haar naam kreeg. Een van de panelen over de Sint Elisabethsvloed. Afbeelding: Rijksmuseum In Hoek van Holland maakt men zich op voor een jubileum, volgend jaar. Dan is de Nieuwe Waterweg 150 jaar oud. “En zonder Nieuwe Waterweg geen Hoek van Holland”, zegt Henk van der Lugt van het Historisch Genootschap Hoek van Holland in een uitgebreid gesprek. Er staan allerlei evenementen gepland en mogelijk keren ook de Hoekse havendagen voor één keer weer terug.

“In the Late December” by Greg van Eekhout(Originally published in Strange Horizons.)Here's a secret of the North Pole: Santa powders his hands with talc before donning his thick red mittens.It is a small secret, true, but some would give anything to steal even that. A secret is a detail, and here in the late December, a detail is as precious as a true name.Santa, a red exclamation in a white world, walks the reindeer line, stroking sugar-and-cinnamon fur. The reindeer shiver and snort and stamp their hooves, the lines connecting them to the parcel-laden sleigh jingling. Santa looks over to his candy-brick castle and waves good-bye, but no one stands in the doorway to wave back. With a sigh, he climbs onto the sleigh's driver's seat, the bench creaking beneath his weight. He pauses, holding the smooth and supple leather reins, and considers how to start the team. Onward? A-heya? Giddyup? Ho-ho? No, he's already used those. He makes a point of uttering a different word to inaugurate every outing, because he's been doing this for a long time, and if he didn't deliberately insert some bit of novelty into the procedure, he fears his jolly round head might well explode. That is another detail.Then he has it. He snaps his fingers (no mean feat in his mittens) and with a brisk snap of the reins, he shouts, "Zorxa!"Zorxa was a great emperor whose realm once encompassed sixteen degrees of the Curvature, and though his despotic rule made him a natural enemy, Zorxa knew how to accept a gift as well as anyone.Greg van Eekhout lives in San Diego with his astronomy/physics professor wife and two dogs.

Greg van Eekhout joined us at Phoenix Comic Con for a live-audience Q&A session about Elemental Relationship writing. Here are the questions: What is your favorite way to establish relationships? How do you recover when a relationship starts to feel forced? How do you show a "best friend" relationship? How do you decide the pacing of the romance? Do you try to make the nature of character relationships clear, or do you leave it to subtext? How do you go about writing transsexual relationships? What are your favorite relationships to write? How do I write the beginning of a relationship between characters the reader has not yet really met? How do you transform love into hate, and vice-versa? When writing a love triangle, how do you avoid telegraphing the final resolution? Do you have recommendations for books that focus on familial friend relationships rather than romance?

First Story:  “The Last Worders” by Karen Joy Fowler Charlotta was asleep in the dining car when the train arrived in San Margais. It was tempting to just leave her behind, and I tried to tell myself this wasn’t a mean thought, but came to me because I, myself, might want to be left like that, just for the adventure of it. I might want to wake up hours later and miles away, bewildered and alone. I am always on the lookout for those parts of my life that could be the first scene in a movie. Of course, you could start a movie anywhere, but you wouldn’t; that’s my point. And so this impulse had nothing to do with the way Charlotta had begun to get on my last nerve. That’s my other point. If I thought being ditched would be sort of exciting, then so did Charlotta. We felt the same about everything. Karen Joy Fowler is the author of six novels and three short story collections. The Jane Austen Book Club spent thirteen weeks on the New...
