Cześć! Jak miesiąc dumy, to queerowa perspektywa. Queerowy punkt widzenia często pojawia się w naszych odcinkach, ale korzystając z okazji, postanowiłyśmy przyjrzeć się tęczowym książkom, które czytałyśmy już jakiś czas temu. Będzie więc powieść autobiograficzna pełna drzew i czarownic, w której zapełniamy luki językowe i pamięciowe. Będzie wciągająca współczesna odyseja, w której transpłciowa bohaterka czasem wtrąca się w prowadzoną narrację, a także biomitografia, która zaczyna się na pewnej wyspie, a kończy się odnalezieniem wspólnoty. Serdecznie zapraszamy Was do słuchania! Książki, o których mówimy w podkaście: Kim de L'Horizon, „Drzewo krwi”, tłum. Elżbieta Kalinowska; James Hannaham, „Didn't Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta”, Europa Editions [polskie wydanie „Wszyscy mieli w dupie, co stało się z Carlottą”, tłum. Maciej Świerkocki]; Audre Lorde, „Zami: a New Spelling of my Name”, Crossing Press. Dziękujemy Wydawnictwu Literackiemu za książkę [współpraca barterowa] Kim de l'Horizon. A „Siostrę outsiderkę” Audre Lorde ciągle dostaniecie w outletach, takich jak Tania Książka

The best-selling novelist Karen Powell is the guest on this month's Book Club Podcast, where Sarah Meyrick interviews her about Fifteen Wild Decembers, which is this month's choice. Michael Wheeler has written an essay about the book in the 7 June edition of the Church Times. Fifteen Wild Decembers is a re-imagining of the life of Emily Brontë set against the wild moors of the author's beloved Yorkshire — the same wild landscape that inspired her best-known novel Wuthering Heights. The book's title is taken from Brontë's poem “Remembrance”, words spoken at the graveside of her past love — “Cold in the earth — and fifteen wild Decembers”. She, too, like her lost love, ends up living a short life. In this first-person narrative, we hear Emily's account of the domestic struggles that she has with her siblings from schooldays to adulthood, and the long journey to publication of not only her work, but that of her sisters, too. Fifteen Wild Decembers is published by Europa Editions at £9.99 (Church Times Bookshop £8.99); 978-1-78770-545-6. Karen Powell grew up in Rochester, Kent, and now lives in North Yorkshire. Sarah Meyrick is a novelist. Her latest novel is Joy and Felicity (Sacristy Press, 2021).

Winner of the Choix Goncourt Prize, Anne Berest's The Postcard (Europa Editions, 2023) is a vivid portrait of twentieth-century Parisian intellectual and artistic life, an enthralling investigation into family secrets, and poignant tale of a Jewish family devastated by the Holocaust and partly restored through the power of storytelling.  January, 2003. Together with the usual holiday cards, an anonymous postcard is delivered to the Berest family home. On the front, a photo of the Opéra Garnier in Paris. On the back, the names of Anne Berest's maternal great-grandparents, Ephraïm and Emma, and their children, Noémie and Jacques--all killed at Auschwitz. Fifteen years after the postcard is delivered, Anne, the heroine of this novel, is moved to discover who sent it and why. Aided by her chain-smoking mother, family members, friends, associates, a private detective, a graphologist, and many others, she embarks on a journey to discover the fate of the Rabinovitch family: their flight from Russia following the revolution, their journey to Latvia, Palestine, and Paris. What emerges is a moving saga that shatters long-held certainties about Anne's family, her country, and herself. AJ Woodhams hosts the "War Books" podcast.

Roberto Tiraboschi"L'armonia dei frutti bacati"Edizioni e/ohttps://edizionieo.itHanno finito gli studi, non sono più giovani ma non sono ancora adulti, cercano un lavoro attraverso cui realizzarsi e rendersi indipendenti, vagano in una Milano da incubo che brucia ogni occasione, sperimentano, provano strade diverse, non si fermano davanti a nulla: sono disposti a rubare l'identità degli altri, a mentire, a tradire un'amicizia, a creare dipendenza affettiva. Rincorrono nonostante tutto un'armonia perduta.Tre giovani adulti alla ricerca disperata di una direzione da dare alla propria vita attraversano una Milano sfolgorante e ubriaca, alla vigilia dell'epidemia di Covid. Ognuno di loro è un frutto bacato. Milena, depressa bipolare, insegue il sogno assoluto di una carriera come attrice teatrale. Sabrina disperde le sue energie in mille lavori inutili, cercando di rimarginare una cicatrice segreta nascosta nel suo passato. Guglielmo, narcisista patologico, riesce a realizzare se stesso solo attraverso relazioni malate, in un mondo di sola apparenza. Non si fermano davanti a nulla: sono disposti a rubare l'identità degli altri, a mentire, a tradire un'amicizia, a creare dipendenza affettiva. Rincorrono nonostante tutto un'armonia perduta. Si incontrano per caso o è frutto di una macchinazione? Sabrina cerca una stanza e Milena la ospita. Dopo una reciproca diffidenza nasce un'amicizia, quasi una dipendenza. Sabrina riconosce in Milena il suo modello di vita. L'apparizione di Guglielmo rompe gli equilibri. Milena vede in lui un salvatore e si innamora perdutamente. Secondo Sabrina non è un amore assoluto, l'amica è vittima di un'abile manipolazione. Qual è la verità?Roberto Tiraboschi è nato a Bergamo e vive tra Roma e Venezia.

Born in South Africa, narrator Peter Noble eloquently delivers an inspired performance of this compelling audiobook from Damon Galgut, which won the 2021 Booker Prize. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Alan Minskoff discuss this novel that unpacks three generations of South African white people as they adjust—or don't—to changes in their class system and political power. Noble is adept at voicing the characters, capturing the nasal tones and tight sounds, and he masterfully paces this novel. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website.

Little Amal is a 3.5m high puppet who has been walking nearly 9000 kilometres across Europe this summer in recognition of the journey made by thousands of child refugees every year in search of family members, safety and a new home. To mark this extraordinary project, five award-winning European writers have written short stories inspired by Amal's walk. Each one has responded imaginatively to the puppet's journey through their own country, reflecting the hopes and fears of both Amal herself and the people she encounters on her way. As she strides through the stories and across Europe, Amal takes on many guises. She's a refugee child from a camp on the Turkish Syrian border, who sets off in search of her mother, accompanied by an alter-ego puppet guide; she's befriended by a seagull in Greece; she strikes fear into the heart of a small, lonely boy in Italy; becomes the target for a kidnapping in Belgium… The Walk has been created by Good Chance Theatre, who started the theatre in the Calais Jungle and Handspring Puppet company, who created the puppets for War Horse. Little Amal began her walk in Turkey at the end of July and, helped by a team of puppeteers, performers, local people and arts organisations, she'll walk nearly 9000km across Europe, finishing in Manchester in November. She arrives in the UK, at Folkestone, on 19 October. Hide and Seek by Lorenza Pieri is set in Genazzano, near Rome, where the children of the town are playing games to welcome Little Amal on her journey through Italy. But for Daniel, hiding on the steps to the castle to avoid being found and caught by the other children and their huge, terrifying visitor, the game threatens to be another humiliation in a long line. Lorenza Pieri is a novelist, journalist and literary translator. Her first novel to appear in English, The Garden of Monsters, is published by Europa Editions.

Audrey Schulman’s Theory of Bastards (Europa Editions, 2018) uses a scientist’s relationship with bonobos—and her struggle to keep them alive following a civilization-shattering dust storm—to explore climate change, over-dependence on technology, and the challenge of a body that produces more pain than pleasure. The novel, which won this year’s Philip K. Dick Award and Neukom Institute Literary Arts Award from Dartmouth, was almost never written.. Despite the fact that her four previous books had been well received, Schulman found it a continual challenge to get published and was on the brink of abandoning writing altogether. But Kent Carroll, the editor at Europa Editions who oversaw the publication of her novel Three Weeks in December, reached out, saying he wanted to publish a new book by her. “I've always wanted to write—there's nothing more I've wanted—and so given the opportunity, I couldn't say no.” Schulman’s work returns again and again to a few themes. “I feel like every writer—if they're very lucky—figures out the themes that allow them to do their best writing. And I seem to have very, very narrow themes: some large, charismatic mega-fauna, a hint of possible violence, a different climate, some possible scientific research, and the main character has to be in a body that's somehow physically different from most other people.” The main character in Theory of Bastards, Frankie Burk, an evolutionary psychologist and recipient of a MacArthur genius award, has endometriosis, a painful condition that limits her activity and fuels her misanthropy. As the book opens, the 33-year-old Frankie is arriving at the Foundation, a zoo for primates where she can observe bonobos to research her hypothesis about infidelity—the eponymous “theory of bastards”—which postulates that the reason 10 percent of human children are produced through affairs (a number Schulman encountered while researching the book) is because the mothers have an impulse—regardless of the strictures against infidelity—to have sex with men whose genes will improve the child's immune function. “You have to wonder why there is such a huge percentage of children who are not related to their fathers,” says Schulman, who was raised by her father after her own mother had had an affair. “There has to be a big benefit because the dangers are so big for getting pregnant illegitimately, for having a bastard. And so the theory that my character comes up with is that that it offers genetic benefits.” The plot takes a sharp turn when a dust storm knocks out the power and information grid. To keep both themselves and the bonobos alive, Frankie and her colleague David Stotts, free the animals and lead them on an expedition across rural America, where the primates show that they might be better suited than humans to survive in what appears to be a post-technology world, and Frankie starts to shed her misanthropy, even as society is on the brink of collapse. “I've always loved post-apocalyptic novels, but it's almost always only able-bodied humans that survive. Nobody ever pulls their pet corgi out of the rubble and marches on. And I just thought it would be really interesting to play out what would happen if a relatively capable, somewhat-similar-to-human species survived with humans, post-apocalypse.” Schulman is working on a new novel featuring dolphins. Rob Wolf is the author of The Alternate Universe and The Escape. He worked for a decade as a journalist, and now serves as director of communications at a non-profit dedicated to justice reform.

October 26, 2017 at the Boston Athenæum. For the reader, the world of books may seem a simple one: go to the local library or bookstore, select a title that suits our taste, open, and turn the pages. The story of the editors who shape the works we cherish is rarely told. What choices and challenges do these editors face? How do they perceive themselves and their role in the world today? How does their mission drive the works they publish? Join us for this rare opportunity to spend an evening with editors from New England’s most mission-driven publishing houses and journals. The panel— composed of Michael Reynolds, Editor-in-Chief of Europa Editions (the publishing house of Elena Ferrante); Helene Atwan, Director of Beacon Press; and Ladette Randolph, Editor-in-Chief of Ploughshares—will offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the creation of books and discuss the motivations and aspirations propelling those books into the marketplace. The panel will be moderated by Mehgna Chakrabarti, host of WBUR’s RadioBoston, Modern Love: The Podcast, and frequent moderator at the Boston Book Festival.

They discuss her debut novel, MIKHAIL AND MARGARITA, and the tremendous amount of work she put into her research in order to understand Russian culture, tracing it all the way to its origins.
