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. Jane and Fi also thoughtfully consider garden gnomes, domesticated foxes, goose chases, and royal wig swaps.

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.

Treue Elizabeth Strout Fans sowie Kenner und Liebhaberinnen ihrer Figuren dürften sich gefreut haben, als kürzlich, nämlich im März, endlich ein neuer Roman der amerikanischen Autorin veröffentlicht wurde. Dabei erschien Tell me everything, wie er im englischen Original heißt, bereits im vorangegangenen Jahr in Deutschland im Original, und noch ein Jahr davor bereits auf dem amerikanischen Markt. Somit ist Erzähl mir alles, wie Elizabeth Strouts Roman im Deutschen heißt, also längst nicht mehr ganz neu, aber für die in ihrer Muttersprache lesende Rezensentin eben schon. Nicht neu hingegen sind die der Leserin lieb gewonnenen Figuren, die schon aus diversen vorangegangenen Romanen Strouts geläufig sind und deren Leben wir bereits recht gut kennen. Dabei stechen vor allem Lucy Barton hervor, deren Entwicklung und Lebensweg bereits in vier Romanen beleuchtet wurde, sowie Olive Kitteridge, deren Leben die Autorin zwei Romane gewidmet hat und die ebenfalls als Miniserie verfilmt und bereits in diesem Format von mir besprochen wurden. Nun ist es aber so, dass alle Figuren, die Strout ihrem literarischen Universum zufügt, immer wieder auftauchen, sei es als Randfigur oder Hauptakteur.Somit ist es auch nicht verwunderlich, dass uns das Personal in Erzähl mir alles reichlich vertraut ist. Die Hauptfiguren sind Lucy Barton, ihres Zeichen erfolgreiche Schriftstellerin aus New York, die seit Corona in Crosby, Maine mit ihrem Exmann William lebt, was von der einheimischen Bevölkerung eher skeptisch betrachtet wird. Außerdem Olive Kitteridge, die ihre ganz eigene und spezielle Art im Umgang mit Menschen pflegt, vor langer Zeit Lehrerin in Crosby war, die aber zum Zeitpunkt der Handlung bereits 90 Jahre alt ist und in einem Altersheim lebt, jedoch nichts von ihrem unvergleichlichen Wesen eingebüßt hat. Als Dritten im Bunde und auch bereits wegen seiner tragischen Familiengeschichte bekannt, ist Bob Burgess. Er ist Anwalt, mit Lucy befreundet und, wie uns die Autorin direkt zu Beginn der Geschichte wissen lässt, der eigentlich Protagonist.Zu Beginn des Romans werden Olive und Lucy durch Bob einander vorgestellt, da sie sich bisher nicht persönlich kannten, Olive Lucy aber aufgrund ihres Berufs als Schriftstellerin ausgewählt hat, um ihr eine Geschichte zu erzählen, von der sie glaubt, dass diese damit vielleicht etwas anfangen kann. Die Erzählung, die anschließend folgt, dreht sich um ihre Eltern, vor allem aber ist es eine tragische Liebesgeschichte. Sie markiert den Ausgangspunkt für die nun regelmäßig stattfindenden Treffen zwischen Olive und Lucy, in denen sie sich gegenseitig Geschichten über Menschen erzählen, Menschen, die Lucy im Verlauf des Romans als „unbeachtete Leben“ bezeichnet und nach deren Lebenssinn sie fragt. Im Fokus stehen aber auch die Gespräche zwischen Bob und Lucy, die eine späte, enge Freundschaft verbindet, die auch deren jeweiligen Partnern insofern recht zu sein scheint, da diese viel mit sich selbst beschäftigt sind. Dass Lucy und Bob im Laufe der Zeit mehr als nur freundschaftliche Gefühle füreinander hegen, offenbaren sie sich gegenseitig nicht, so dass auch ihre Geschichte ein weiteres Zeugnis unerfüllter Liebe im Roman darstellt und die sich – entgegen des Buchtitels – eben nicht alles erzählen und dafür ihre Gründe haben.Letztlich würde es zu weit führen, auf all die Biografien und Lebensläufe einzugehen, von denen uns Elizabeth Strout berichtet und dafür sollte man schließlich den Roman lesen, aber eine thematische Einordnung ist dennoch möglich. Neben bereits erwähnten Liebesgeschichten geht es auch um zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen im Allgemeinen, um Schuldgefühle und Traumata, die unser ganzes Leben beeinflussen und die vielleicht sogar auf Missverständnissen beruhen. Aber auch die Themen Älterwerden und Einsamkeit ziehen sich durch den Roman und führen schließlich zu der Frage, wie wir leben wollen und mit Erlebtem umgehen.„Wir glauben gern, dass wir unser Leben unter Kontrolle haben, aber das stimmt manchmal nur bedingt. Die, die vor uns kamen, haben die Weichen für uns gestellt.“ (S.35)Eine zusätzliche Wendung in der Handlung ist eine Kriminalgeschichte, in der Bob in seiner Rolle als Anwalt tätig wird, in der es aber nicht weniger um Familie, Lebensläufe und Verbundenheit geht. Alles hängt zusammen und wird von Strout fein miteinander verwoben, so dass sie einen liebevollen und wertschätzenden Blick auf die Leben wirft, die unbeachtet zu sein scheinen und nach deren Sinn sie ihre Protagonistinnen immer wieder fragen lässt. Das Tiefgreifende wird bei Strout in das Alltägliche eingebettet, ohne dabei kitschig zu sein. Aktuelle politische Verweise werden dabei fein säuberlich immer wieder eingestreut.Worin sich Elizabeth Strout treu bleibt, ist die Tatsache, dass der Roman für sich steht und auch ohne Kenntnis ihrer vorangegangenen Werke gelesen werden kann. Für diejenigen, die ihr Oeuvre bereits kennen, ist es ein weiterer Ausflug in die komplexe Figurenwelt, die die Autorin über Jahre hinweg geschaffen hat und über die es immer noch etwas zu erfahren gibt. Wie ich bei meiner Recherche außerdem feststellen durfte, erscheint bereits am 05. Mai ihr neuer Roman The things we never say in englischer Sprache in Deutschland und der Titel verweist doch auf einen engen, wenn auch konträren Bezug zu Tell me everything. Je nachdem wie lange wir auf die Übersetzung warten müssen, wird es wohl früher oder später wieder eine Rezension eines Elizabeth Strout Romans geben und bis dahin verbleibe ich mit einer Empfehlung.

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.

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?

The Friends of Schenectady County Public Library will host an evening with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout on Wednesday, November 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the GE Theatre at Proctors in Schenectady, New York.

Tara is excited to chat with Canadian author David Giuliano, who lives on the north shore of Lake Superior. His storytelling has been compared to Miriam Toews and Elizabeth Strout in its emotional insight and narrative warmth. His books include The Undertaking of Billy Buffone, winner of the 2022 Bressani Prize; the bestselling Postcards from the Valley; and the cancer memoir It's Good to Be Here. His latest book is The Upending of Wendall Forbes from Latitude 46 Publishing.

Lumen es uno de los sellos de mayor prestigio en España, con un catálogo que incluye a Virginia Woolf, Doris Lessing, a Umberto Eco o Alice Munro, por ejemplo, y autoras más contemporáneas. La última en entrar en esa lista es una lorquina, Inma Pelegrín, que ha ganado el premio Lumen de novela con un thriller rural donde la protagonista es una perra llamada Sombra y su relación con Gabi, el narrador de la historia. Fosca es una obra que nos ha encantado, muy original. ¿Qué tendrá la ciudad de Nueva York para atraparnos con ese poder magnético que solo parece tener ella, y ningún otro sitio del mundo? Sergi Reboredo, viajero que siempre tiene la pluma y la cámara listas para enseñarnos los mejores rincones del planeta, viaja esta vez a la Gran Manzana. El libro, publicado primorosamente por Anaya Touring, es una delicia.Y conocemos a un personaje que parece de novela, con una vida atormentada donde los momentos de felicidad fueron pocos, y que le sirvió de sustrato para escribir cuentos que la llevaron a ser equiparada a Carver. Su nombre, Lucia Berlin. Manual para mujeres de la limpieza es uno de los mejores libros de relatos que jamás ha caído en nuestras manos. Detrás de tanto talento hubo oscuridad. Y entramos en ella. En Alfaguara está toda su obra.Y además, las manías de García Márquez. ¿Por qué quería tener siempre lejos a los caracoles o a los pavos reales?En la sección de Audiolibros, Elizabeth Strout.

(This episode first aired in August 2022.) My guest today is the writer Hilma Wolitzer. Born in 1930, Hilma had her first poem published at the age of 9. She then shelved that ambition in favour of marriage and children, as women were expected to in the 1950s. 26 years later she had her first short story published. Then there was no stopping her.  Her first novel was published at the age of 44 and since then she has published 14 books. The most recent of which is the career-spanning short story collection - the brilliantly named, Today A Woman Went Mad In The Supermarket. If you, like me, love Elizabeth Strout, I guarantee you will love this.  Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to speak to Hilma from her apartment in New York about writing at 9 and 90, being raised to be a housewife by a housewife and how feminism changed her life. She also talked about losing her husband of 68 years to covid during lockdown, why she can't think of anything worse than dating again, why she's not done yet and why she doesn't mind being an old woman but she definitely doesn't want to be an old girl. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, including A Woman Went Mad In The Supermarket by Hilma Wolitzer 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 • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls at Pineapple Production.

We're switching it up a little bit this episode, as the Booker Prize Long List has just been released and it's fun to talk about what they've chosen — plus, the judges this year are really interesting! These are "chosen from 153 submissions, celebrates the best works of long-form fiction by writers of any nationality, written in English and published in the UK and/or Ireland between 1 October 2024 and 30 September 2025." Some of the books we've read, some we've just heard about, some we have no idea about. Play along!  Here's the list as we tackle it: - "Seascraper," by Benjamin Wood, which is not available in the U.S.  - "The Rest of our Lives," by Ben Markovitz, which is not available in the U.S. (though Ben is from the U.S. and used to be a professional basketball player) - "Audition," by Katie Kitamura, which is so out there that Hannah legit doesn't know how to talk about it. No one seems to know what's happening with this book.  - "Endling," by Maria Reva, which we talked about quite a bit in EP92 (not 94, as Sam says on the pod, for no good reason), and is a substantive, interesting, weird novel, but maybe not Sam's favorite.  - "Flashlight," by Susan Choi, a National Book Award winner, which Hannah started out super excited about, but then her fervor sort of faded... There's some great stuff in here about Japan-Korea history and the immigrant story, in general.  - "The Land in Winter," by Andrew Miller, which Hannah hasn't read, but she does remember that "The Optimists" was big and she meant to read it.  - "Love Forms," by Claire Adam, who was published by Sarah Jessica Parker, who also happens to be a judge! But we're sure it's a coincidence. "Like a Claire Keegan novel written by Elizabeth Strout," apparently. - "Universality," by Natasha Brown, which we know is short and is all about words and meaning.  - "Misinterpretation," by Ledia Xhoga, which is similarly about words and meaning. We don't know much, really. But there seems to be a theme here.  - "The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny," by Kiran Desai, who has a Booker Prize under her belt. This book is going to be big.  - "One Boat," by Jonathan Buckley, which is about a murder and a love affair on a Greek island.  - "The South," by Tash Aw, which is this year's young gay love story, Hannah thinks, though she's not sure, but it is the first of a quartet of novels, "a reimagined epic for our times." - "Flesh," by David Szalay, which is a stylish Hungarian novel, a coming-of-age sort of thing. 

Award-winning author Elizabeth Strout returns to Crosby, Maine in her latest novel about new friendships, old loves, and to ask the question- what does anyone's life mean? Hear a review of “Tell Me Everything”.
