Podcast appearances and mentions of Elizabeth Strout

Host Jo Reed and contributor Leslie Fine explore three distinctive novels and the narrators who shape the listening experience. In Sarah Damoff's The Burning Side, Stacy Gonzalez, Timothy Andrés Pabon, and Jackie Sanders portray members of a family in crisis, with Sanders' warm, multidimensional performance as the family matriarch a particular standout. Elizabeth Strout's extraordinary The Things We Never Say finds an ideal interpreter in Golden Voice Robert Petkoff, whose beautifully restrained Earphones Award–winning performance captures Artie's loneliness and vulnerability while allowing Strout's remarkable portrait of community, connection, and ordinary life to speak for itself. And in Emma Straub's American Fantasy, Marin Ireland brings humanity and personality to three very different characters aboard a boy-band nostalgia cruise, making a light, pleasant novel considerably richer in audio. Jo and Leslie consider what happens when narrators know exactly how much—or how little—to do, and how the right performance can deepen an already exceptional novel or add dimension to a lighter one.   Audiobooks Discussed: The Burning Side by Sarah Damoff, read by Stacy Gonzalez, Timothy Andrés Pabon & Jackie Sanders (Simon & Schuster Audio) The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout, read by Robert Petkoff (Random House Audio) American Fantasy by Emma Straub, read by Marin Ireland (Penguin Audio) Learn more about your ad choices.

Un triangolo sentimentale è al centro del romanzo "Cuore l'innamorato" (il titolo prende spunto da un gioco di carte che fanno i protagonisti) scritto dall'americana Lily King (Fazi - traduz. Manuela Francescon), autrice molto apprezzata dalle sue colleghe, come Elizabeth Strout. Al centro di questo triangolo c'è una giovane universitaria che viene soprannominata Jordan, come uno dei personaggi de "Il grande Gatsby" (ci sono molte citazioni letterarie nel romanzo). Agli altri angoli di questo triangolo ci sono Sam e Yash, anche loro frequentano lo stesso corso di letteratura di Jordan. Inizialmente Jordan ha una relazione con Sam, che ha ricevuto un'educazione religiosa piuttosto rigida. Poi scoppia l'amore con Yash, che però è in difficoltà a confessare all'amico la nascita di questa relazione. Lily King accende un faro su questi tre giovani nella fase della vita fatta di progetti, di passioni ed entusiasmi, ma sceglie anche di raccontare il dopo, guardando gli stessi personaggi intorno ai 50 anni, quando la vita, a volte, ha tradito aspirazioni e sentimenti.

Is it a novel? A collection of stories? A story cycle? A monograph?? It doesn't matter. This one's an award-winner. Strout's a masterful episodic storyteller, diving quickly into the deep end with characters we've met just pages before. However, the titular Olive looms much larger than the others we meet, compelling us to wonder if the collectionovelcyclegraph isn't a bit uneven.Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.Follow @overduepod on Instagram and BlueskyAdvertise on OverdueSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Artie Dam teaches high school history, makes pleasant small talk with the neighbors, and sails his boat on the weekend. But the Artie no one sees is plagued by despair and isolation. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout's latest novel “The Things We Do Not Say” is a compassionate look at the human condition.

Elizabeth Strout is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Things We Never Say, Tell Me Everything; Lucy by the Sea; Oh William!, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize; Olive, Again; Anything Is Possible, winner of the Story Prize; My Name Is Lucy Barton; The Burgess Boys; Olive Kitteridge, winner of the Pulitzer Prize; Abide with Me; and Amy and Isabelle, winner of the Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction and the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize. She has also been a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Orange Prize in London. Elizabeth joins Barbara DeMarco-Barrett to talk about finding her voice, how she's never been a plotter, how her new novel, The Things We Never Say, came to her, how characters arrive, theme, setting, the worst advice she's ever been given, exposing yourself as a writer, and so much more.

This week, we travel far and wide, from the unpopulated reaches of Siberia to the very deepest parts of the galaxy, and then return to our North Shore roots. Yes, there's another WW2 story in the offing, but, yet again, you haven't read one just like this. And, sure, we're doing the Russian thing again, but there aren't any gentlemen involved this week, we promise. The big question, of course, is: How did Elizabeth Strout do with her depiction of our home turf? This fortnight, we read: "The Sleeping Land," by Ella Alexander "The Things We Never Say," by Elizabeth Strout "Massif," by Garth Nix "Rooms for Vanishing," by Stuart Nadler What sound effects did we give each of these books? You'll just have to listen and find out!

Jennifer Khakshouri, Adriana Altaras, Philipp Tingler und – als Gast – der Literaturwissenschaftler und Kulturvermittler Rico Valär diskutieren über «Königin der Nacht. Ein kurzes Buch über meine Mutter» von Lukas Bärfuss, «Was nicht gesagt werden kann» von David Szalay, «Erzähl mir alles» von Elizabeth Strout sowie «Tamangur» von Leta Semadeni. Der Schweizer Schriftsteller Lukas Bärfuss geht mit seinem autobiografischen Buch «Königin der Nacht» dahin, wo es schmerzt: Zu seiner Mutter, die ihn einen «Betriebsunfall» nannte, keine Liebe zeigte und alles andere als fürsorglich war. Der Büchner-Preisträger Bärfuss beschreibt, wie die Literatur ihn gerettet hat - und hinterfragt zugleich den Muttermythos in der Gesellschaft. Der Roman «Was nicht gesagt werden kann» gehört zu den bemerkenswertesten Neuerscheinungen des letzten Jahres. Er erzählt das Leben eines Mannes, der in einer ungarischen Plattenbausiedlung aufwächst und in die englische High Society aufsteigt. In kargen Dialogen und fragmentarischen Episoden beschreibt er eine Figur, unter deren Coolness unverarbeitete Traumata liegen. Pulitzerpreisträgerin Elizabeth Strout erschafft seit vielen Jahren in ihren Romanen einen Kosmos. Darin beschreibt sie das Lebensgefühl und die politische Stimmung an der nordamerikanischen Ostküste. Ihre Figuren sind liebenswert, wenn auch nicht immer sympathisch. In «Erzähl mir alles» begegnen sich die Hauptfiguren aus verschiedenen vergangenen Romanen. Leta Semadeni ist eng mit dem Engadin verbunden und schreibt Lyrik und Prosa, auf Deutsch und auf Rätoromanisch. Für ihr Lebenswerk wurde sie mit dem Schweizer Grand Prix Literatur ausgezeichnet. Der Roman «Tamangur» wurde neu aufgelegt. Er handelt vom Leben eines Kindes, seiner Grossmutter und der schmerzvollen Abwesenheit des Grossvaters in einem abgelegenen Bergdorf.

Having captivated readers with the eponymous Olive Kitteridge and Lucy Barton , Elizabeth Strout has moved down the coast from Maine to Massachusetts for her latest novel, and a new character for readers to meet. We sat down to speak with her about where Artie Dam came from, what he's wrestling with and why there are still things we never say.

Allow me to talk about the powerful novel, Abide with me, by Elizabeth Strout. I'll also discuss the Dallas Museum of Art and other art museums from around the world. A little bit about Greg Graffin and then I'll ponder retirement for a minute or two.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Elizabeth Strout, joined Brendan to talk about contemporary life in the US, loneliness within marriages, and her latest novel, The Things we Never Say. She was in Ireland for an appearance at the Borris House Festival of Writing and Ideas.

What are the mysteries behind the quiet routines of one Artie Dam, a high school history teacher in Elizabeth Strout's latest novel? The Things We Never Say explores isolation and the painful, fragile truths we keep hidden because we don't have the words to talk about them. And yet, this luminous novel gives us a lexicon of loneliness that challenges the fundamental idea that we can never truly know each other. Turns out, the beauty is in trying.

Welcome to Tuesday's episode of the podcast - it's been carefully considered at every level.

Host Jason Blitman talks to Pulitzer Prize-winner Elizabeth Strout about her latest novel, The Things We Never Say. Conversation highlights include:

Elizabeth Strout has departed from Olive Kittredge, Lucy Barton and Burgess Boys; she has even departed from Maine. Her newest, THE THINGS WE NEVER SAY, introduces us to Artie Dam, a teacher in Massachusetts who is just as full of depth, pain and laughter as any character Strout has ever written. Haunted by the divisiveness that has beset our nation, he searches for meaning in his family and his work, and is upended by a secret he never saw coming. A wonderful book full of Strout's amazing ability to explore the follies and foibles of the human mind, THE THINGS WE NEVER SAY will charm you and such you in. Join us for a conversation about why she chose to depart from her already beloved characters to explore someone new.

No suele pasar, pero puede pasar y ha pasado. Dos editoriales han publicado el mismo libro, Alianza y Periférica. El premio ha sido para una novela publicada en 1934 por la británica Sally Carson. Su título ha sido traducido en Alianza como 'Cruz torcida' y en Periférica como 'La cruz torcida', pero elijan la edición que elijan lo van a pasar muy bien y muy mal a la vez. Es un libro escrito en tiempo real en los años 1932 y 1933 y fue profética entones y lo es si lo lees hoy. Entonces porque , a través de una familia de Baviera, nos hace ver como cala la ideología nazi sin que se den cuenta, con total normalidad, como si fuese un virus que se extiende a toda la población. Hoy, porque al leerlo ves en los jóvenes de hace 90 años los mismos mensajes que en los jóvenes ultras de nuestro tiempo. Un libro muy necesario que hoy nos han presentado sus editoras Paca Flores de Periférica y Marta Barrio de Alianza. Paca y Marta nos han donado otros dos libros: 'Niño parabólico' de Constantino Molina (Periférica) y 'El libro de mi destino' de Parinoush Saniee (Alianza voces)  También es necesaria leer o releer 'La Celestina' de Fernando de Rojas (Alianza Editorial) que ha sido el libro que nos ha contado en tres minutos nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio. Tampoco es cosa menor el que nos contará en su programa "Un libro, una hora", 'Con viento solano' de Ignacio Aldecoa (Alfaguara). Entre las novedades semanales Pepe Rubio nos trajo  'Conspiritualidad' de Derek Beres, Matthew Remski y Julian Walker (Capitán Swing) y  'Jaime Gil de Biedma de Miguel Dalmau (Tusquets). El libro perdido que rescató Pascual Donate entre las pilas de la redacción  fue  'Lucy y el mar' de Elizabeth Strout (Alfaguara). Y finalmente las donaciones de nuestros oyentes: 'Niadela' de Beatriz Montañéz (Errata Naturae) y 'En el nombre del fuego' de Manuel De Juan (Platero) .

Osterzeit ist Lesezeit: Karla und Günter haben in dieser Spezialfolge gleich mehrere Bestseller versteckt, von wohltuend leise bis nervenzerreißend spannend. Mit dabei: Zwei besondere Kinderbuch-Tipps fürs Osternest.Elizabeth Strout: „Erzähl mir alles“: In der Küstenstadt Crosby (Maine) verwebt Elizabeth Strout Spaziergänge, Veranden-Gespräche und kleine Gesten zu einem leisen Roman über Freundschaft, Liebe und das Älterwerden – klug beobachtet und sehr tröstlich.M. L. Stedman: „Ein weites Leben“: Eine Farm im australischen Outback, harte Arbeit und große Verluste: M. L. Stedman erzählt in „Ein weites Leben“ eine bildstarke, emotionale Familiensaga. Ein großer Schmöker für die ersten warmen Tage.Marc Elsberg: „Eden – Wenn das Sterben beginnt“: Was, wenn das Artensterben plötzlich eine Kettenreaktion auslöst, die alles verändert? Marc Elsberg jagt seine Figuren durch ein beunruhigend realistisches Szenario und verbindet Tempo, Recherche und einen globalen Plot zu einem eindringlichen Thriller.Madeleine Becker: „Gekommen, um zu bleiben“: Vom Hörsaal zur Biobäuerin: Madeleine Becker (aka „frau_freudig“) baut sich mit viel Mut und noch mehr Arbeit ein nachhaltiges Hofleben auf. Sie schreibt liebevoll, klug und ungeschönt über Überforderung, Durchhalten und das gute Gefühl, wenn es Schritt für Schritt gelingt, den eigenen Lebenstraum zu verwirklichen. Motivierend!Ute Krause: „Herwig und Elsie: Wo ist der große Zauberer?“: Als der Zauberer Hokus van Pokus verschwindet, muss Hase Herwig selbst mutig werden – und findet unterwegs unerwartete Hilfe. Ute Krause erzählt mit Humor und Herz eine Geschichte über alte und neue Freundschaften und das Erwachsenwerden. Ein wunderbares Vor- und Mitlesebuch für Kinder ab ca. 5 Jahren.Britta Teckentrup: „Wütend", „Mutig" und „Einsam“: Starke Gefühle bekommen bei Britta Teckentrup Farbe, Form und Raum. In ihren liebevoll illustrierten Büchern zeigt sie, dass Gefühle da sein dürfen – und dass in ihnen oft auch Kraft steckt. Drei wundervolle Bücher zum gemeinsamen Anschauen und Besprechen. Für Kinder ab 4 Jahren und alle darüber hinaus.Alle Titel dieser Folge:Elizabeth Strout: „Erzähl mir alles“ (Luchterhand)M. L.

This is a special live episode of The Shift with Sam Baker podcast, recorded live at the wonderful Portobello Bookshop in Edinburgh.  Catherine Newman is the author of some of the most on-the-nose books about being a woman in midlife that I've ever read - her bestselling debut, We All Want Impossible Things, Sandwich and, now, Wreck. Imagine if Nora Ephron and Elizabeth Strout's Lucy Barton met in a bar and did edibles together and you have something approximating Catherine's creation, Rocky, and her family - Nick, Willa and Jamie and her 93 year old dad.  A normal loving, anxious, messy, unpredictable, relatable, family, living through a year of what ifs that veer uncomfortably close to home. Wreck asks, how do we live when we don't know what next?  I think that's something we can all identify with right now! Catherine has also written two memoirs and a couple of children's books, is an award-winning writer and columnist and contributes regularly to the New York Times and O, the oprah magazine. For ten years she also wrote Real Simple's etiquette column and she has an excellent substack, Crone Sandwich. Which I highly recommend you check out. Catherine and I chatted generational (mis)understanding, surviving the midlife sandwich, giving up drinking, life after menopause, rewriting your family's life and being a covert cookbook nerd. f you're listening to this on the podcast, you can get a signed copy of Wreck by going to Portobello Bookshop's website - theportobellobookshop.com. * Alternatively, you can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, including Wreck and Sandwich by Catherine Newman as well as the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

"Cuore l'innamorato" di Lili King e "Inutilmentefiga" di Elda Alvigini Un triangolo sentimentale è al centro del romanzo "Cuore l'innamorato" (il titolo prende spunto da un gioco di carte che fanno i protagonisti) scritto dall'americana Lily King (Fazi - traduz. Manuela Francescon), autrice molto apprezzata dalle sue colleghe, come Elizabeth Strout. Al centro di questo triangolo c'è una giovane universitaria che viene soprannominata Jordan, come uno dei personaggi de "Il grande Gatsby" (ci sono molte citazioni letterarie nel romanzo). Agli altri angoli di questo triangolo ci sono Sam e Yash, anche loro frequentano lo stesso corso di letteratura di Jordan. Inizialmente Jordan ha una relazione con Sam, che ha ricevuto un'educazione religiosa piuttosto rigida. Poi scoppia l'amore con Yash, che però è in difficoltà a confessare all'amico la nascita di questa relazione. Lily King accende un faro su questi tre giovani nella fase della vita fatta di progetti, di passioni ed entusiasmi, ma sceglie anche di raccontare il dopo, guardando gli stessi personaggi intorno ai 50 anni, quando la vita, a volte, ha tradito aspirazioni e sentimenti.Il rapporto con l'altro è al centro del romanzo "Inutilmentefiga" di Elda Alvigini (Santelli). Con ironia e autoironia, l'autrice racconta la sua infanzia, la sua adolescenza, ma soprattutto la sua educazione sentimentale. Figlia di genitori giovani, belli, ricchi e di sinistra, a scuola viene bullizzata perché la madre la veste come un intillimano. Entrambe le nonne sono state delle rivoluzionarie per la loro epoca: quella paterna aveva avuto due figli fuori dal matrimonio, la nonna materna si era laureata in farmacia negli anni '30 e aveva aperto una farmacia in un paesino della Sicilia. Un'educazione, dunque, progressista, una famiglia di donne intraprendenti, ma questo modello entra in contraddizione con il mondo spesso sognato dalle bambine nate fra la fine degli anni '60 e l'inizio degli anni '70, ossia un mondo ideale fatto di principesse, fate e belle addormentate. Nell'educazione sentimentale la protagonista incappa in una serie di uomini sbagliati, ma poi c'è anche il senso di colpa, la depressione e la vena comica e ironica che compare quando i periodi neri sono stati momentaneamente superati.

Mary Chapin Carpenter's latest album, 'Personal History,' is as lush in production and color as the beautiful farmland she calls home in Virginia. Carpenter will often wake up early for sunrise walks with her dog, Angus, and one of several daily cups of coffee (of course) to start the day. In our Basic Folk conversation, she reflects on how living in this serene farmhouse has brought her peace, drawing parallels to Carl Sandberg's "creative hush." Mary Chapin also discusses her method of "song walking" as a tool to overcome writer's block, often accompanied by her pets.She goes on to touch on her evolving relationship with fame and the importance of surrounding herself with grounded people; she reveals her younger self was shy, and talks about how being less concerned with others' opinions has empowered her over time. We cover her connection to the Celtic music community and how it inspired her collaborative album 'Looking for the Thread' with Scottish musicians Julie Fowlis and Karine Polwart. That record was her first with Josh Kaufman as producer and it worked so well, she decided to have him produce her new solo album, too. We also chat about "hyphen-gate," due to her double first name, the process of feeling visible and valued, and the impact of Elizabeth Strout on her perspective of songwriting.Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Interested in sponsoring us?
