When The NY Times named Alderton's GOOD MATERIAL one of the best 10 books of 2024, Kimberly knew it was time to dig in. Listen as she deepens your understanding of the male narrative voice, the excellent figurative language, the supposed "double ending" and Alderton's CRUCIAL SUBVERSION of the marriage plot. Tune in to Kimberly's argument for why this (anti)-rom-com (?!) BELONGS in the company of literary heavyweights like Miranda July's ALL FOURS, Percival Everett's JAMES and Álvaro Enrigue's YOU DREAMED OF EMPIRES. Finally, DO NOT MISS Kimberly's hottest of hot takes!

As we enter this new year of 2025, Sophia Besch sits down with President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Tino Cuéllar. They take a step back at the year and look at the big themes and trends that are likely going to determine and underlie the discussions of the year ahead, from technology to political economy, democratic governance, and global power dynamics.Notes:Ramachandra Guha, India After Gandhi: The History of the World's Largest Democracy, Ecco, 2008.James C.

Gutes neues Jahr allerseits! Samira und Friedemann sind inzwischen auch 2025 angekommen und sprechen es beginnt schlimm: Los Angeles brennt und die amerikanische Politik auch.Was passiert in Kalifornien, warum nimmt es Friedemann besonders mit, wieso ist Feuer immer gleichzeitig apokalyptisch und höllisch?Die Reaktionen und Instrumentalisierungen lassen das schlimmste befürchten für die nächsten Jahre.

As soon as she opened it, Kimberly knew she needed a deep dive into YOU DREAMED OF EMPIRES. Listen in for a deeper understanding of the title, the unique narrative stance, why the book feels so dreamy, the humor and whether or not we can read this as a FEMINIST novel.

The early part of a year can mean new books to read, or it can mean catching up on older ones we haven't gotten to yet. This week, Gilbert Cruz chats with the Book Review's Sarah Lyall and Sadie Stein about titles from both categories that have held their interest lately, including a 2022 biography of John Donne, a book about female artists who nurtured an interest in the supernatural, and the history of a Jim Crow-era mental asylum, along with a gripping new novel by Janice Hallett.“It's just so deft,” Stein says of Hallett's new thriller, “The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels.” “It's so funny. It seems like she's having a lot of fun. One thing I would say, and I don't think this is spoiling it, is, if there comes a moment when you think you might want to stop, keep going and trust her. I think it's rare to be able to say that with that level of confidence.”Here are the books discussed in this week's episode:“Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne,” by Katherine Rundell“The Other Side: A Story of Women in Art and the Spirit World,” by Jennifer Higgie“The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels,” by Janice Hallett“Madness: Race and Insanity in a Jim Crow Asylum,” by Antonia Hylton(Briefly mentioned: "You Dreamed of Empires," by Álvaro Enrigue, "Beautyland," by Marie-Helene Bertino, and "Martyr!" by Kaveh Akbar.)

Today's conversation with Álvaro Enrigue about his latest novel, You Dreamed of Empires, translated by Natasha Wimmer, is set during the relatively undocumented first encounter between Moctezuma and Hernan Cortés. The novel dilates the knife's edge moment when the Aztec emperor invites the conquistador, with his small band of Spanish soldiers, into the palaces of […] The post Álvaro Enrigue : You Dreamed of Empires appeared first on Tin House.

You Dreamed of Empires sets the scene for a violent historical encounter: the war between the Spanish and Aztec empires. But in a fictionalization of Hernán Cortés' arrival in the city of Tenochtitlan in 1519, author Álvaro Enrigue challenges ideas about colonialism, revolution and influential rulers. In today's episode, he speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about finding humor and humanity in the men he writes about — sometimes laughing about, but not with, the powerful ones.

Desde niña su talento en la cancha fue evidente. Su carácter aguerrido y el apoyo de su familia han sido fundamentales en su trayectoria deportiva. En 2016 fue convocada por la Selección Nacional para participar en el Mundial Sub17 de Jordania; sus habilidades despertaron el interés de Tigres, club que la buscó para que se integrara a sus filas al comienzo de la Liga BBVA MX Femenil. Pero de un torneo a otro dejó de ser titular y ya no tuvo minutos en la cancha… Estuvo a punto de dejar el futbol. Hoy es una de las piezas clave de la defensa del Querétaro. En este episodio Jazmín Enrigue habla con Paulina Chavira sobre los inicios de su aventura futbolística, de cómo ha sido estar lejos de su familia para jugar y de lo que la motiva a formar parte de Gallos Femenil.

En este episodio hablamos con la genial Ana Castillo Muñoz, coach sexual y gestora de Verbo y Piel, sobre el clásico de la literatura latinoamericana “El amor en los tiempos del cólera”, de Gabriel García Márquez: una historia que parecería ser la tradicional historia de amor, pero que va muchísimo más allá de eso. En la sección “El libro en Puerto Rico” les contamos de un proyecto hermoso para fomentar la lectura en la niñez y sobre la visita de Álvaro Enrigue a Puerto Rico.

Álvaras Enrigue vadinamas vienu įdomiausių šių laikų Meksikos rašytojų. Neseniai lietuvių kalba pasirodė jo romanas „Staigi mirtis“, kuriame pasakojama apie XVI amžiaus Europą ir Meksikos užkariavimą, apie menininkus, popiežius, keliautojus ir tai, kaip gimė šių laikų pasaulis. Tai kaleidoskopiškas, vaizdingas, humoru prisodrintas pasakojimas, dėliojamas tarsi teniso mačas. Šios tinklalaidės vedėjai Audrius Ožalas bei Jūratė Čerškutė kalbina šios knygos vertėją į lietuvių kalbą Almą Naujokaitienę.

Le damos la bienvenida a todas y todos nuestros lectores que ahora también son podcasteros.

En Date Cuentos hoy te traemos a Philibert Lescale, del escritor francés Henri Beyle a.k.a. Stendhal.

A digressive novel centered on a 16th-century real tennis match inspires a discussion that strays far afield from the contents of the book itself. Carl Bialik and I get into the advantages and difficulties of writing blow-by-blow descriptions of points, how many numbers is too many numbers, the various ways theatrical productions depict tennis, and why tennis fans seem so insecure.

In this conversation, Álvaro Enrigue, the founder of PEN’s DREAMing Out Loud Program, introduces us to the writing workshop he created to amplify the voices of DREAMers, DACA recipients, and other undocumented immigrants. We also hear reflections and stories from some of his students in this special episode about how storytelling challenges the way we think about those marginalized by their immigration status.

Internationally acclaimed Mexican author Alvaro Enrigue and New York City author Garth Risk Hallberg (City on Fire) start with Enrigue's genre-bending book Sudden Death — which starts with a 16th century tennis match — to launch a far-ranging conversation. Topics covered include political anger and artistic style, the history of racist narratives (“moments in which the world crunched and the bad guys imposed a discourse”), inventing historical events (“the weirdest stuff is true”), paintings made of feathers, and the embarrassing demands of both authors' children. 

Álvaro Enrigue's Sudden Death is the wild tale of a tennis match between the poet Francisco de Quevedo and the artist Caravaggio that transcends time and involves other historically transformative, and often combative, figures. Enrigue, who calls his impulse to write "visceral and erratic," was angered into starting this book by the 2008 financial crisis.

Sep. 5, 2015. Four diverse authors from Chile and Mexico talk about how they deal with time in every sense of the word: in creating fictional characters, in shaping a plot, in making an argument, and in the actual writing of a book at the 2015 Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington, D.C.

His commentary in English has been published in The New York Times, the Believer and the London Review of Books. His most recent award-winning book, "Muerte súbita," will be available in the English translation "Sudden Death" in 2016.

She is best known for her novel "Nadie me verá llorar," which is available in the English translation "No One Will See Me Cry" by Andrew Hurley. Another of her recent works is the novel "Lo anterior." Garza has also written extensively on the social history of mental illness in early 20th century Mexico and her work has been published in academic journals and edited volumes throughout the United States, England, Argentina and Mexico.

Álvaro Enrigue, novelista radicado en Nueva York, explica cómo imaginó un juego de tenis entre Quevedo y Caravaggio.

En nuestro número de marzo, “Shakespeare: el abismo del poder”, nos hemos propuesto interrogar a este clásico. Siete miradas distintas abordan su obra, salvan la distancia del tiempo para reconocer al bardo como contemporáneo. Según Andreu Jaume, Shakespeare es ajeno a cualquier definición cabal del amor o del poder: condena y celebra el mundo con igual intensidad. Para Steven Pinker, es nuestro primer y más grande psicólogo. Enrique Krauze ve en Coriolano la tragedia del antipopulista. Jordi Doce y Pedro Poitevin lo trasladan al español de hoy, mientras que David Olguín y Mauricio García Lozano constatan su absoluta actualidad en el escenario.

Álvaro Enrigue (Mexico) och Juan Gabriel Vásques, (Colombia) porträtteras i Kulturreportaget. Två stjärnförfattare, flerfaldigt prisbelönta och internationellt hyllade. Båda introduceras nu på svenska, Enrigue med Tiebreak och Vásques med Ljudet av sådant som faller. De kommer båda från latinamerika, men arvet efter Gabriel Garcia Márquez magiska realism är långt borta när Álvaro  Enrigue  och Juan Gabriel Vásques tar sig an sina hemländers mörka historia. Álvaro Enrigues ”Tiebreak” utgår från en tennismatch på Piazza Navona i Rom år 1599- en duell mellan målaren Caravaggio och poeten Quevedo som skildrar brytningen mellan den gamla och nya världen, när conquistadorerna erövrade Mexico och världen för första gången blev global. Juan Gabriel Vásques berättar på ett illusionsbefriat och nattsvart sätt om narkotikatrafiken i Colombia, en roman om historien och det kollektiva minnet, men också om rädslan som format en hel generation. Två nya  röster, två  hyllade romaner som flyter samman till en väv- och en fråga: Varför är det alltid de onda som vinner? Ett program av Ulla Strängberg  Producent: Lisa Bergström
