Musik und Literatur – bei kaum einem Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts fließen beide Kunstformen so eng zusammen wie in den Texten von Thomas Mann. Ob er als Essayist über die Opern von Richard Wagner schreibt, ob er in den Buddenbrooks den kleinen Hanno am Klavier fantasieren lässt oder im Davoser Berg-Sanatorium ein ganzes Kapitel dem Hören von Schallplatten widmet – Musik war für Thomas Mann ein „Lebenselixier“. Kein Wunder also, dass er im fortgeschrittenen Alter mit „Doktor Faustus“ einen ganzen Musiker-Roman geschrieben hat, die fiktive Biografie eines Komponisten. In unserer Reihe „Klassiker der Musik-Literatur“ stellt uns das Buch Christoph Vratz vor – für ihn ist „Doktor Faustus“ einer der Meilensteine der Musik-Literatur.

Bernhard ist im Ruhestand, kurz vor seinem 70. Geburtstag fängt er an, Bilanz zu ziehen. Sein Leben scheint in routinierter, belangloser Eintönigkeit zu versinken. Wo nur sind die Jahre geblieben? Mit diesem Gefühl erinnert er sich an die Zeit, die er in Salerno verbracht hat. Damals stand er noch am Anfang seiner Karriere, alles schien möglich, leicht und unbeschwert. Nach rund 40 Jahren rafft Bernhard sich auf und kehrt zurück an den Ort, der ihn in seiner Erinnerung so glücklich gemacht hatte. Was ist aus Salerno geworden, was aus dem alten Karussell, das darauf wartete, wieder in Gang zu kommen? Und Arianna? Fragen über Fragen. Hans-Ulrich Treichel, vielfach mit Preisen ausgezeichnet, ist ein Meister der Erzählkunst. Der Lyriker, Prosaist, Essayist, Librettist, bis 2018 auch Professor am Deutschen Literaturinstitut der Universität Leipzig, hat wieder einmal das Setting seines Schreibens nach Italien verlegt. Sein neuer Roman „Das Karussell“ ist eine Reise in die Vergangenheit, garniert mit Hoffnungen, Träumen und der Melancholie des Südens. Über all dies spricht Hans-Ulrich Treichel in NDR Kultur à la carte mit Claudia Christophersen.

You have to appreciate the guys who are getting hit for the love of the game, not for the money. And you know what's funny about it? It's just taking one. On this episode of the Really? no Really? Podcast, Jason and Peter learn more about the psychological and biological rational behind UFC Founder, Dana White's latest phenomenon, Power Slap. Writer and Essayist, Ander Monson, wrote about how Power Slap originated in Oklahoma City from two guys who worked at a Dollar Store and started Power Slap as a form of camaraderie and create a sense of community in a time of heightened isolation. We'll delve into how there's a deeper resonance than what the title is. What attracted Ander to this story was this kind of weird brotherhood that's not necessarily trying to hurt the other guy like you were just trying to win. Afterwards you still are in the same world. You're still in the same town, you're still in the same text chain. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stanisław Lem wollte zu Lebzeiten ungern als Science-Fiction-Autor bezeichnet werden. Denn er war viel mehr als das: Schriftsteller, Philosoph und Essayist. Trotzdem wird er bis heute so bezeichnet: Als Polens wichtigster Science-Fiction-Auto - dabei war es genauer genommen Wissenschaftsfiktion. Als Lems Meisterwerk gilt der Roman "Solaris" von 1961. Er wurde in mehr als 30 Sprachen übersetzt, dreimal verfilmt – zuletzt 2002 von Steven Soderbergh – und außerdem vielfach in Bühnenstücken, Opern und Hörspielen umgesetzt. In Lems dystopischem Roman reist der Psychologe Kris Kelvin auf eine spärlich besetzte Forschungsstation auf dem Planeten Solaris, der fast vollständig von einem mysteriösen Ozean bedeckt ist. Stanisław Lem ist 1921 in Lemberg geboren und heute vor 20 Jahren in Krakau gestorben ist. Arno Orzessek hat "Solaris" wiedergelesen.

Kath-Akademie Archiv:„Die Unsterblichen. Götter Griechenlands“ von Albert von SchirndingHördauer: 28 MinutenAntike Götter werden geboren, sind aber unsterblich. Sie erreichen ein ihrem Wesen gemäßes Alter und altern dann nicht weiter; sie zeugen selbst andere Götter, Halbgötter und Helden. Fundamental anders die biblische Rede von Gott, der der ganz Andere ist. Und dennoch gibt es Berührungspunkte. Antike Götter sind fast immer personale Wesen, weit mehr als nur Manifestationen von Naturerscheinungen, und sie besitzen eine Gewalt, die alles menschliche Maß übersteigt. So waren Fremdheit und Vertrautheit, schroffe Ablehnung und versuchte Integration die Pole beim Aufeinandertreffen des frühen Christentums mit den polytheistischen Religionen des griechisch-römischen Kulturkreises. Albert von Schirnding, Schriftsteller, Literaturkritiker und Essayist aus München, gab seinem Vortrag den Titel: Postume Unsterblichkeit. Anmerkungen zum Fortleben der griechischen Götter in der deutschen Literatur von Schiller bis Thomas Mann.Albert von Schirnding, geb. 1935, wuchs in Regensburg auf. 1951 veröffentlichte er seine ersten Gedichte. Nach dem Abitur studierte er – da er zugleich Schriftsteller und Lehrer werden wollte – Klassische Philologie bei Rudolf Pfeiffer in München und Walter Jens in Tübingen; einen Teil der vorlesungsfreien Zeit verbrachte er als „Feriensekretär“ bei Ernst Jünger in Wilflingen. Nach Stationen in Weiden und Ingolstadt unterrichtete er von 1965 bis 1998 am Münchner Ludwigsgymnasium. Als freier Mitarbeiter der Süddeutschen Zeitung ab 1970 engagierte er sich für eine an Humanität und Aufklärung orientierte Pädagogik und gegen eine „konservative Tendenzwende“ in der Bildungspolitik. Bekannt wurde er auch als Literaturkritiker, als Interpret griechischer Philosophie und als Autor autobiographischer Prosaskizzen, die er ab Ende der 1980er Jahre in seine Erzählbände integrierte. Von 1991 bis 2004 leitete Albert von Schirnding die Abteilung Literatur in der Bayerischen Akademie der Schönen Künste. Seit 2004 ist er Vizepräsident der Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur in Mainz. Als Herausgeber und Kommentator hat er Werke von Lessing und Thomas Mann bis Rainer Malkowski betreut; 2005 öffnete er die Lyrik-Anthologie Der Ewige Brunnen für zeitgenössische Texte. Wenn Ihnen dieser Beitrag gefallen hat, dann mögen Sie vielleicht auch diesen.  Hörbahn on Stage - live in Schwabing  Literatur und Ihre Autor*innen im Gespräch - besuchen Sie uns!Katholische Akademie in BayernKardinal Wendel HausMandlstraße 23, 80802 MünchenRealisation Uwe Kullnick

Peter Schneider galt als hellsichtiger Essayist mit dem Mut zum Anecken und als vielseitiger Autor, der in verschiedenen literarischen Gattungen zu Hause war. Mit seiner Erzählung "Lenz", einer identitätsstiftenden Lektüre für die Generation der 68er wurde er 1973 bekannt. Als Analyse des Lebens im geteilten Berlin galt sein Roman "Mauerspringer". Erst Ende 2025 erschien sein letzter Roman. Knut Cordsen mit einem Nachruf.

Essayist and fiction writer Erica Stern on writing hybrid nonfiction, weaving memoir with research and a ghost-story thread, and finding a publishing home for genre-defying work.   You'll learn:What “hybrid nonfiction” can look like when memoir, research, and a fictional thread are all working toward one emotional truth.Ways to make a genre-bending draft feel cohesive, even when it's built from multiple modes and timelines.How reverse outlining can help you figure out what each section is really doing, and tighten the book's throughline in revision.Why “moving the pieces around” for a long time can be part of the process when the structure has to be discovered, not imposed.A mindset shift for writers making unconventional work: follow what the project needs first, before you worry about outcome or category.How to treat “weirdness” as an asset (not a liability) when the form is doing meaning, not just style.Practical publishing encouragement for genre-defying books: small presses can be a strong fit, and there's a growing audience for hybrid forms.What it can look like to publish without chasing “bestseller” logic, and instead focus on reaching the right readers with the best version of the book.Why writing “for the market” isn't the only path to publication—and how commitment to the story can be what ultimately helps it find a home.  Resources & Links:

30.11.2025 – Die Unternehmerin Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, der Essayist und Kontrafunk-Redakteur Markus Vahlefeld sowie der Rechtswissenschaftler und Rechtsanwalt Dr. Ulrich Vosgerau diskutieren mit Burkhard Müller-Ullrich über die Feigheit der Unternehmer, die am Staatstropf hängen, und den späten Mut der Verzweifelten; über die Psychologie der Selbstzerstörung bei den Deutschen und das Erstaunen, dass die Amerikaner so etwas nicht kennen; über den Aufmarsch linksextremer Sturmtruppen in Gießen, um Mitglieder der größten deutschen Volkspartei zu bedrohen und zu verletzten, sowie über radikalisierte Eliten, die jene rotlackierten Faschisten dulden, ermuntern und mitfinanzieren.

Daniel ist Autor und Essayist. Er hat über Zuhause, Nüchternheit und das Alleinsein geschrieben – und jetzt über die Liebe als politischen Akt. Wir haben das Gespräch live vor Publikum in Leipzig geführt. Ich wollte von ihm wissen, warum er seit einigen Jahren eine immer stärker werdende Welle des Hasses wahrnimmt und wieso er ausgerechnet in der Liebe eine politische Antwort darauf sieht. Wir sprechen darüber, wie sich seine eigene Angst und Retraumatisierung aus den 90ern anfühlt und warum Schweigen und Wegschauen für ihn keine Option mehr sind. Es geht um radikale Freundlichkeit, Nächstenliebe, über die Idee einer großen Allianz gegen rechtsextreme und neoliberale Eliten und die Frage, wie man mit Menschen spricht, die völlig andere politische Positionen haben.

Comics will mend your heart. That's the energy we're taking into the new year and the thought we carried as we assembled The Stampies, our end-of-the-year award show celebrating The Best Comics of 2024 - ahem - (Part One). Over the last six years, we've turned to comics to understand ourselves and the world around us better. They've guided us through tumultuous times, and we know we'll need them even more in the coming months and years. Our award show is very much OUR award show. We have peculiar tastes, and our favorite comics reflect that. Some categories stuck around from last year's ceremony, but with this episode in particular, you'll find several new ones, also. Next week's Part Two will be stacked with the more traditional Best Original Graphic Novel, Best Limited Series, Best Ongoing, etc. For The Best Comics of 2024 (Part One), we get a little more cutesy with Best New Superhero and Best Murder Mystery, plus categories like Best First Issue and Best Single Issue. As has become tradition, we've asked our friends in journalism and podcasting to name their favorite books of the year. New to our 2024 celebrations, however, we've also asked a few retailers and comic book creators to contribute their favorite books. If you want to be spoiled about who will be guest-starring in today's podcast, scroll below. Please thank them by following their work and social media handles (and letting them know how much you enjoyed their contributions to the podcast). 2024 was another banger of a year regarding comics. Highlighting our favorites was more challenging than ever. The Stampies contain sixteen categories, with a few extra surprise categories tossed in during next week's show. That's simply not enough space to name all "the best" books from the year. So, keep your eyes trained on the Comic Book Couples Counseling website. At the very end of the year, we'll unleash our massive 50 Best Comics of 2024 list. The Best Comics of 2023 (Part One) Category Timestamps:  Best Comic Book Couple - 12:14 Best Murder Mystery - 18:18 Best New Superhero - 25:54 Best Adaptation - 32:29 Best Collaboration - 40:07 Best Short Story - 47:33 Best First Issue - 56:43 Best Single Issue - 1:05:05 The Best Comics of 2023 (Part One) Guest-Stars:  Erik C.

Essayist, poet and now novelist Michelle Rahurahu's first novel Poorhara has been praised by critics as "possibly the best Aoteraroa novel of the year." 

Laundering Black Rage: The Washing of Black Death, People, Property, and Profits (Routledge, 2024) examines the dilution and commodification of Black Rage--conceived as a constructive response to the conquest of resources, land, and human beings--in a spatial and historical critique of the capitalist State. Interweaving academic criticism with journalistic essays, it presents a thoughtful challenge to popular narratives surrounding recent US events such as the Black Lives Matter movement, the death of George Floyd and other police killings, and cases of White vigilantism, arguing that the maintenance of capitalism increasingly requires the manufactured consent of the conquered. Essayist/performer Too Black and geographer Rasul A. Mowatt assert Black Rage as a threat to the flow of capital, which must therefore be conquered by laundering, defined as a process of: - Incubation via the State, which places rage in circulation by setting both the oppressive conditions for its expression and seeding contradictions for it to be cleaned. - Labour, which sets mass uprisings in motion, layers the narcissistic rage of the Black elite over the illegal, militant rage of the masses to conceal class interests and collapse labour into capital. - Commodification, in which the now-laundered Black Rage is integrated within the State, ready to be withdrawn as a labour-crushed commodity to be bought, sold, or repressed by White capital. Entwining histories of Black resistance throughout the diaspora, State building under capitalism, cities as sites of laundering, and the world making of empire, Laundering Black Rage also lays the groundwork for upending the process through an anti-colonial struggle of reverse-laundering conquest. Relevant to studies of race and culture, history, politics, and the built environment, this pathbreaking work is essential reading for scholars and activists engaged at the intersection of critiquing capitalism and combating systemic racism"-- Too Black is a low-wage worker, poet, organizer, and filmmaker. As a poet, Too Black has headlined the historic Nuyorican Poets Café, Princeton University, and Johannesburg Theater in South Africa. His words have appeared in publications such as Black Agenda Report, Left Voice, Indianapolis Recorder, and Hood Communist. He is also the co-director of the award-winning documentary The Pendleton 2: They Stood Up. Rasul A. Mowatt is a son of Chicago and a subject of empire, while dwelling within notions of statelessness, settler colonial mentality, and anti-capitalism. Rasul also functions in the State as a Department Head in the College of Natural Resources, as an Interim Department Head in the Division of Academic and Student Affairs, and as an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at North Carolina State University. He is the author of the book The Geographies of Threat and the Production of Violence: The City and State Between Us. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textHi, and welcome to The Bookshop Podcast! In this episode, I chat with Joyce Carol Oates about the 2024 republication of her novel Broke Heart Blues by Akashic Books. We explore how nostalgia and adolescent pressures shape her storytelling, with John Reddy Hart at the center—a character in Broke Heart Blues who encapsulates the dual nature of high school fame and the journey from family protector to solitary adult. Joyce lends her unique perspective, rooted in her rural upbringing and experience navigating more affluent circles, to reflect on how external perceptions often clash with self-view.Venture into the enigmatic isolations of celebrity life with insights into iconic figures like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley. Joyce shares her reflections on how these stars were often imprisoned by their fame, becoming reflections of their public personas. We also discuss the intricacies of adapting Joyce's novel Blonde into a film, the interconnected worlds of friendship, fashion, the arts, and her friendship with Gloria Vanderbilt.I ask Joyce about teaching, an anchor amidst the creative whirlwind that emerges as a profound pillar of her life. She explains how teaching balances the uncertainties of writing with the gratifying structure of education. This episode celebrates a life committed to the arts, creativity, and the ever-evolving landscape of expression.Joyce Carol OatesPurchase in AustraliaBroke Heart BluesPurchase in the USBroke Heart BluesSupport the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

Sheryl Sandberg released her bestselling book, “Lean In,” ten years ago sparking a movement among professional women to pursue leadership roles at work. A new study by consulting firm McKinsey found that while women now hold more of the top jobs than ever before, they still lag far behind men, and Black and Latina women have an even harder time moving up the ranks. Despite some progress, women still face bias in the workplace and more caregiving responsibilities at home than men, among other challenges. We'll talk about the barriers keeping women out of management, what makes a difference in helping women advance and the impact the Lean In movement has had on you. Guests: Minda Harts, author, workplace expert, and associate professor, New York University - Her books include "The Memo: What Women of Color Need To Know to Secure a Seat at the Table" and "Right Within."

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemyYour intrepid hosts watched the first, and possibly only, presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump so you didn't have to—and then stayed up late to talk about it. After a somewhat wobbly start, Harris seized the momentum with a visceral, deeply affecting answer about the consequences of the GOP's assault on abortion rights, then baited Trump into a rambling rant about the size of his crowds. He never really recovered, and spent much of the rest of the debate running his mouth about the debunked story of Haitian immigrants stealing and eat pets in Ohio or claiming that Harris was responsible for every policy of the Biden administration. What did we learn about the candidates and their priorities? Did Harris break with Biden in any significant ways? What does the Trump-Vance obsession with immigrants reveal about their campaign? What firearm does Harris own? And what about foreign policy?

Most of us learned in school that the U.S. Constitution gives everyone born in America lifelong citizenship, no matter what. But that's a lie. Essayist and former Trump aide Michael Anton explains where they lie came from, and how the next GOP administration can dispel it. Then, online influencer and Ron DeSantis supporter Mike Cernovich gives a deep, honest assessment of why the campaign became such a mess so quickly.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
