Hvert år siden 2009 har en europæisk forfatter kunne lune sig ved - ikke bare - forårssolen, men også med EU's litteraturpris "The European Union Prize for Literature". I torsdags gik den til den danske forfatter Theis Ørntoft, som modtog hovedprisen for romanen "Jordisk", der udkom i august sidste år. "Jordisk" er lidt af en murstensroman om kærlighed, kapitalisme, Vestens langsomme undergang, og så er det også en slægtsroman om tre generationer forbundet på tværs af tid og rum. Vi genbesøger "Jordisk" med Theis Ørntoft. I sidste uge blev en 28-årig mand idømt syv dages betinget fængsel i en sag om racistiske vittigheder. Manden har styret to hjemmesider med vittigheder, der var inddelt i kategorier som "jøde jokes", "neger jokes" og "racistiske jokes" og for det blev han dømt for at overtræde straffelovens racismeparagraf §266b. I Kulturen i dag taler vi om grænserne for ytringsfrihed og humorens kår i 2024. Det gør vi sammen med en jurist, en satireforsker og to politikere. For hvad fortæller dommen os om humorens kår i dag, og bør det være ulovligt at dele racistiske vittigheder? Vi tager debatten. Værter: Linnea Albinus Lande og Chris Pedersen.

Dat de samenstelling van ons darmmicrobioom belangrijk is, dat weten we inmiddels. Maar hoe zit het met het microbioom van de vagina?   Onderzoeker Sarah Lebeer van de Universiteit Antwerpen kijkt hier in haar werk uitgebreid naar. Zij en haar team krijgen daarvoor binnen het Isala-project - het grootste onderzoeksproject op dit gebied ter wereld - de hulp van duizenden burgers. Dat zorgde in de afgelopen tijd al voor een aantal hele interessante ontdekkingen. Je hoort er meer over in deze aflevering.  Lees hier meer over het Isala-project dat afgelopen maand de (pas in het leven geroepen) European Union Prize for Citizen Science won.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Winner of the 2020 European Union Prize for Literature, Lana Bastašić's powerful debut novel Catch the Rabbit is a modern-day Alice in Wonderland set in post-war Bosnia, in which two young women plunge into the illusive landscape of their shared history. She speaks with Cezar Gheorghe about writing the Balkans and the difficult task of telling stories about the inherited trauma of the war in Bosnia. The conversation revolves very much around the theme of naming and how that relates to living in a place where ethnic identity becomes the most important aspect of identity.

“It's a piece of family lore or legend that I've been hearing since I was a quite young boy.” In this week's episode of Book Dreams, acclaimed author Sunjeev Sahota shares with Eve and Julie the family and personal experiences that helped shape his latest, transfixing novel, China Room. Set in both 1920s rural India and 1990s small-town England, the book originates with the story of Sunjeev's great-grandmother, who as a young bride didn't know which of four brothers was her new husband. Woven into both the novel and our conversation are themes of connection, belonging, heritage, class, and reputation. The two intergenerational storylines reveal a “mutual haunting” of future and past, with the past shaping the future and the future “reverb[ing] back” to transform the past. Sunjeev Sahota was named one of Granta's 20 Best of Young British Novelists of the Decade in 2013. In addition to China Room, he's the author of Ours Are the Streets and The Year of the Runaways, which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the Dylan Thomas Prize, and was awarded a European Union Prize for Literature. China Room was longlisted for the 2021 Booker Prize and a finalist for the American Library Association's Carnegie Medal.

Every two years, architects turn their attention to Barcelona. This is because it is here inside the German Pavilion – designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition – that the "European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Prize" is awarded. The prize is considered Europe's most important award for groundbreaking architecture. It is therefore both a seismograph of future developments and a snapshot of the diversity of the current construction tasks. Established offices compete alongside young, up-and-coming architects, with entries selected in a multi-stage, interdisciplinary selection process. The focus of the competition is on the cultural role of architecture in the construction of our towns and cities, and prize-winners receive confirmation from the professional world while being provided with a springboard with which to reach a broader public. Since 2016, architect Anna Ramos has been the director of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe. In our podcast today, we talk to Anna Ramos about the balancing act of fulfilling the public mission for the goals set by the Fundació and at the same time developing new formats and themes for the architectural discourse.

Aug Stone chats to Lana Bastašić, the 2020 European Union Prize for Literature winner, about her debut novel Catch The Rabbit, visiting the places James Joyce lived, the works of Vladimir Nabokov, Yuz Aleshkovsky, Aglaja Veteranyi, Magda Szabó, Per Petterson and many other authors, tips for writing, Bosnian curse words, and much more    https://lanabastasic.com/  https://restlessbooks.org/lana-bastasic 

Winner of the 2020 European Union Prize for Literature, Lana Bastašić's powerful debut novel Catch the Rabbit is a modern-day Alice in Wonderland set in post-war Bosnia, in which two young women plunge into the illusive landscape of their shared history. It's been twelve years since inseparable childhood friends Lejla and Sara have spoken, but an unexpected phone call thrusts Sara back into a world she left behind, a language she's buried, and painful memories that rise unbidden to the surface. Lejla's magnetic pull hasn't lessened despite the distance between Dublin and Bosnia or the years of silence imposed by a youthful misunderstanding, and Sara finds herself returning home, driven by curiosity and guilt. Embarking on a road trip from Bosnia to Vienna in search of Lejla's exiled brother Armin, the two travel down the rabbit hole of their shared past and question how they've arrived at their present, disparate realities. As their journey takes them further from their homeland, Sara realizes that she can never truly escape her past or Lejla—the two are intrinsically linked, but perpetually on opposite sides of the looking glass. As they approach their final destination, Sara contends with the chaos of their relationship. Lejla's conflicting memories of their past, further complicated by the divisions brought on by the dissolution of Yugoslavia during their childhoods, forces Sara to reckon with her own perceived reality. Like Elena Ferrante's My Brilliant Friend, Catch the Rabbit lays bare the intricacies of female friendship and all the ways in which two people can hurt, love, disappoint, and misunderstand one another.

Lana Bastasic is the author of the debut novel Catch the Rabbit, winner of the 2020 European Union Prize for Literature. Available now in translation from Restless Books. The official June pick of The Nervous Breakdown Book Club. Bastasic is a Yugoslav-born writer. She majored in English and holds a master's degree in cultural studies. She has published three collections of short stories, one book of children's stories and one of poetry. She lives in Belgrade. Her short stories have been included in regional anthologies and magazines throughout the former Yugoslavia. She has won the Best Short Story section at the Zija Dizdarević competition in Fojnica; the Jury Award at the ‘Carver: Where I'm Calling From' festival in Podgorica; Best Short Story at the Ulaznica festival in Zrenjanin; Best Play by a Bosnian Playwright (Kamerni teatar 55 in Sarajevo) and the Targa Unesco Prize for poetry in Trieste. In 2016 she co-founded Escola Bloom in Barcelona and she now co-edits the school's literary magazine Carn de cap. She is one of the creators of the ‘3+3 sisters' project, which aims to promote women writers of the Balkans. *** Otherppl with Brad Listi is a weekly literary podcast featuring in-depth interviews with today's leading writers.

Sie gehört zu den großen Aufsteigerinnen in der österreichischen Literaturszene: Gertraud Klemm. Bedenkt man, dass sie stark auf sogenannte „Frauenthemen“ fokussiert, ist das schon sehr bemerkenswert. So nimmt sie etwa in ihrem letzten Roman „Hippocampus“ (Verlag Kremayr & Scheriau) den Sexismus im Literaturbetrieb aufs Korn. Ein Buch, das mich persönlich begeistert hat, weil es unerschrocken und von einer brutalen Offenheit ist, was Thema und Sprache betrifft. Ihr Roman „Aberland“ stand 2015 auf der Longlist des Deutschen Buchpreises und mit „Herzmilch“ stand sie auf der Shortlist des European Union Prize for Literature. Im Vorjahr gewann sie den Outstanding Artist Award für Literatur. Ein wahrer Preisregen also. Dennoch kommt Gertraud Klemm ursprünglich aus einem anderen Fach: Sie studierte in Wien Biologie und arbeitete bis 2005 bei der Stadt Wien als Beamtin für Trinkwasserkontrolle. „Ich war auf dem Sprung in eine gehobene Beamtinnenkarriere, aber ich wußte, dass ich eigentlich Schriftstellerin bin. Und als es mit dem Kinderwunsch nicht so klappte, wie ich mir das vorstellte, dache ich mir, dann muss es wenigstens mit der Schriftstellerei klappen.“

The European Union Prize for Literature aims to put the spotlight on the creativity and diverse wealth of Europe’s contemporary literature and to promote the circulation of literature beyond national and linguistic borders. To discuss the prize, the state of European literature and Britain's place in the post-Brexit international literary community, we welcomed two past winners: Sunjeev Sahota, who won in 2017 for his Man Booker shortlisted novel The Year of Runaways; and 2014 winner Evie Wyld, author of All the Birds, Singing.

Bianca Bellová this year won the top Czech literary award Litera Magnesia for her novel Jezero (The Lake), an honour that was soon followed by a European Union Prize for Literature. The first stop on our tour of “Bianca Bellová’s Prague” is the suburb of Radlice. The writer lived in the district until the age of 10, when the original Radlice village was razed to make way for Metro construction.

A Spare Life (Two Lines Press) It is 1984, and 12-year- old twins Zlata and Srebra live in communist Yugoslavia. In many ways their lives are like that of young girls anywhere, except for one immense difference: Zlata’s and Srebra’s bodies are conjoined at their heads. A Spare Life tells the story of their emergence from girls to young adults, from their desperately poor, provincial childhoods to their determination to become successful, independent women. After years of discovery and friendship, their lives are thrown into crisis when an incident threatens to destroy their bond as sisters. They fly to London, determined to be surgically separated—but will this dangerous procedure free them, or only more tightly ensnare them? In A Spare Life master poet and award-winning novelist Lidija Dimkovska lovingly tells the lives of two astonishing girls caught up in Eastern Europe’s transition from communism to democracy. A saga about families, sisterhood, and being outcasts, A Spare Life reveals an existence where even the simplest of actions is unlike any we’ve ever experienced. Praise for A Spare Life “A Spare Life uses the boldest of metaphors – the life of conjoined twins – to embody the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia. This strange and wonderful novel brings to mind Elena Ferrante and Magda Szabó.”— Katie Kitamura, author of The Longshot and A Separation “Dimkovska has an eye for detail befitting of a poet and the stark, unrelenting prose of a master storyteller. A Spare Life is a weird and wonderful book.”— Sara Nović, author of Girl at War, finalist for the LA Times Book Prize Lidija Dimkovska is the recipient of numerous awards, including the 2013 European Union Prize for Literature for A Spare Life. She is also the author of the poetry collection pH Neutral History (Copper Canyon Press, 2012), which was a finalist for the 2013 Best Translated Book Award, and Do Not Awaken Them With Hammers (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2006). She lives in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Christina E. Kramer is a professor of Slavic and Balkan languages and linguistics at the University of Toronto. She is the author of numerous books on the Macedonian language and the Balkans and is the translator of Freud's Sister, The Time of the Goats, and My Father';s Books. She lives in Toronto.

Gabriela Babnik’s novel, 'Dry Season' (translated by Rawley Grau), breaks the mould of what we usually expect from a writer from a small, Central European nation. Winner of the European Union Prize for Literature in 2013, 'Dry Season' offers a truly global perspective as it explores themes of racism, the role of women in modern society, and the loneliness of the human condition. The author and the translator joined in conversation at Free Word Centre, with chair Ranka Primorac, to focus on both the themes and the language of the book, as well as the intricacies of translating from a Slavic language to English and writing on the world stage from the perspective of a 'small language'. Wanderlust: Great Literature from Around the World is a monthly event series at Free Word.
