Doncs ja està aquí la quarta entrega de Crema d'estrelles. Anem una mica més tard del que ens hauria agradat, però diferents motius ens han endarrerit la cocció de la crema (i no és per falta d'escalfor). La qüestió és que ja la tenim aquí, i en aquesta edició hi ha per primera vegada una entrevista. He sortit de l'estudi i he anat a veure a en Paco Sánchez del Centre Yuyán de Terrassa per tal de conèixer quina relació hi ha entre el número quatre i les supersticions al Japó i a la Xina. La Marta Culí ens fa la primera ressenya de llibres a Crema de Lletres, una secció que estrena ella i que la farem diferents col·laboradors del programa. També hi ha un tema relacionat amb el número quatre a Jazz Cream, un tema de Zappa com a cada programa, una cançó que tothom hauria d'escoltar abans de morir a càrrec de Blues Traveler, la secció de discos revisitats està dedicada a The Queen Is Dead de The Smiths, hi ha una novetat discogràfica amb Amor Propio, Dos Graus de Separació i Absències connectades entre elles i, amb tot el sentit del món, Els Surfing Sirles son els protagonistes de La Crema D'en Pere. Jordi Via presenta i edita Crema d'Estrelles, amb Marta Culí, Pere Raventós, la Laia i en Roger. https://lilvia.blogspot.com
Una nova ruta sonora on no ens cal cap m
Here it is, the infamous live recording at McNally Jackson! There was a great turnout to hear Brian, María Christina, and I work our way through our thoughts about Death in Spring, Rodoreda's overall stature, the banning of the color yellow, and much more. We had a great time doing this, and thanks again to McNally Jackson for making it all possible. We might have a special bonus episode in the new year, but stay tuned for details on Two Month Review season four, when we go deep on The Physics of Sorrow by Georgi Gospodinov. Buy a copy now! (Use the code 2MONTH at checkout for 20% off!) And, in case you still don't have them, both Death in Spring and Selected Stories are also available through the Open Letter website. And like with Physics above, if you use 2MONTH at checkout, you'll get 20% off. Feel free to comment on this episode--or on the book in general--either on this post, or at the official GoodReads Group.

After yelling at Skype a bunch, Chad, Brian, and special guest Tom Flynn of Volumes Bookcafe discuss the merits of some of Rodoreda's final stories, especially "The Thousand Franc Bill," "Paralysis," and "The Salamander." Then they manage to slightly diss groups upon groups of people--in a rather entertaining way. And they discuss the state of the short story collection and how stories are perceived by publishing execs and bookstores. They also preview next week's book, Death in Spring.

After doing a bit of a deeper dive into the situation in Catalonia--and discussing the LIVE recording that will take place on December 12th at the new McNally Jackson--Chad and Brian are joined by George Carroll to talk about this batch of Rodoreda's stories. Although a couple of the stories discussed in this episode (especially "Before I Die") fit in with her more domestic stories, there is a distinct shift in tone and subject as she starts writing more about World War II ("On a Dark Night," "Orléans, Three Kilometers"), which points toward her later works, especially Death in Spring.

Things are a bit rough for Chad the morning after the Open Letter gala, but he powers through and talks about this new phase of Rodoreda's stories. He and Brian break down some of the more challenging of her stories, including "Noctural" and "The Bath," and talk about what does and doesn't work in creating an authentic voice, and how to behave on airplanes.

This week, Mark Haber of Brazos Bookstore and the Best Translated Book Award committee joins Chad and Brian to talk about the next seven stories in Mercè Rodoreda's collection.

This week, Chad and Brian dive into the first six stories in Mercè Rodoreda's Selected Stories and call up Quim Monzó, arguably the most important contemporary Catalan author, to talk about the precision and emotionality in her work. They also talk about Catalan literature as a whole, A Thousand Morons, Catalan independence, and much more. An incredibly fun and funny episode, this one really lays the groundwork for approaching Rodoreda's stories.

Brian Wood is BACK. Complete with a poem he wrote in his time away from the Two Month Review . . .
