Multi-prize winner Evie Wyld is no stranger to writing intricate, thought-provoking novels to challenge readers globally. Her latest novel, “The Echoes”, proves that.

On this episode of Book Off, Joe welcomes Elif Shafak and Evie Wyld to the studio. These two fabulous writers talk about their latest novels ("There Are Rivers In The Sky" and "The Echoes") as well as giving us some brilliant reading recommendations. Evie lived in a haunted house, so we explore that and her fascination with ghosts - which are a central theme in her new book. She also discusses the importance of humour to lighten situations, whether that be in life or between the pages of a book. Elif and Joe share their love of water. She talks about the power of water and how a single drop is the thread that runs through her new novel - and indeed through centuries and centuries. They also chat about the importance of aural storytelling, of keeping traditions alive and ensuring that people's stories are heard all over the world.

The sins of the mother are visited upon the children The Echoes is many things in Evie Wyld's new novel. It is the rural backwater in Australia where Hannah grew up, and it is also the shape of the book, as the past reverberates down the generations. Philip Larkin said that man hands on misery to man, but for Evie it is mothers who seem to do this. Among the achievements of her novel is to show why they do it and make them sympathetic. And there's another echo. When the novel opens Hannah has made a life for herself in London after returning to the area where her grandmother … Continue reading →

Welcome to BookShook! This episode is all about the second half of July's book, All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld published in 2013 (from Chapter 15 if you're reading alongside). The idea of the episode is that I take a book I've never read, split it in two and discuss each half on the second and last Fridays of the month. I'll do a first impressions summary alongside my thoughts and reactions and then raise any interesting ideas so far in the novel (be aware - there may be spoilers.) And then on the last Friday of the month, I'll discuss the second half of the book. We'll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it's a book we'd recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don't have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I'll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at youtube.com/@BookShook or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. The book we'll be reading for August is Books 1 and 2 of Garguntua and Pantagruel by Rabelais — for the first podcast I'll be reading Book 1 (so get that ready if you're going to read alongside me) - that episode will be released on 11th August. And the second podcast of August (25th) will be about book 2. Thanks for listening to BookShook!

There are 43 tidal islands around the UK, accessible just briefly each day, along beguiling and perilous paths. As the tide retreats, five writers walk their favourite causeway to islands of refuge, pilgrimage, magic and glamour. Today, WN Herbert follows in the footsteps of pilgrims to Lindisfarne and reflects on the causeway connecting to a meditational space and how we are all now connected by various versions of a tidal causeway, advancing and retreating through. social media. Across the series: Claire McGowan sees time change as she enters the freezing waters off Burgh Island and sips cocktails in the art deco hotel bar. Ben Cottam almost gets stuck in the mud as he searches for the grave of a black slave and questions his family's past at Sunderland Point. And between kite surfers and dog walkers, Patrick Gale is suspended between two worlds as he follows the S shaped causeway, shaped by relentless tides and currents to St Michael's Mount. Evie Wyld boards the ferry at Lymington pier and retraces a path well-travelled in her childhood -the Western Yar on the Isle of Wight. As sea levels rise and the sands shift, causeways are in flux. The essayists draw us down onto the sands, revealing what these liminal routes mean to both them and the cultural history of the UK. Producer: Mohini Patel

There are 43 tidal islands around the UK, accessible just briefly each day, along beguiling and perilous paths. As the tide retreats, five writers walk their favourite causeway to islands of refuge, pilgrimage, magic and glamour. Today, Evie Wyld boards the ferry at Lymington pier and retraces a path well-travelled with her family during school holidays - across the Freshwater Causeway on the Isle of Wight. Her route takes her past ghost benches, a graveyard, World War Two pill boxes on a journey through grief, memory and what survives the tide.

There are 43 tidal islands around the UK, accessible just briefly each day, along beguiling and perilous paths. As the tide retreats, five writers walk their favourite causeway to islands of refuge, pilgrimage, magic and glamour. Patrick Gale joins those seemingly walking on water as they cross to St Michael's Mount in this first episode. Between kite surfers and dog walkers, he is suspended between two worlds as he follows the S shaped causeway, shaped by relentless tides and currents. He is joined by Lord St Leven who tells him about the near impossible task of maintaining the route to the Mount, his family's home since the 17th century. And from the tidal walk emerge the stories and myths that have built up around Karrek Loos yn Koos, first visited by Archangel Michael, and now by hundreds of thousands of tourists.

In deze aflevering stellen we jullie graag vijf bijzonder sterke vrouwen voor die elk een centrale rol spelen in hun al dan niet fictieve familie. Sara las De Familie van Naomi Krupitsky en Slechts een diefstal van Ann-Helén Laestadius en geeft haar mening over deze respectievelijke NY-se en Zweedse mater familias. Trees wil via een non-fictieboek (The Gifts of Imperfection van Brené Brown) haar twee romans waarin vrouwen het tij bepalen beter begrijpen.

Evie Wyld is an award winning author of three novels, the latest of which, The Bass Rock, won the https://stella.org.au/prize/2021-prize/ (Stella Prize 2021).

We also talk about how motherhood, and the nature of writing with young children, led to some of the structural elements of The Bass Rock and how an award like the Stella Prize can create change in a writing career.

Evie Wyld. Photo: Urszula Soltys. 'In the year that we've just had, where women's work is so marginalised, with housework and child care and everything, this felt like an incredible year to win... This has been the win of my career so far.' In this episode of the Wheeler Centre podcast, listen to an in-depth conversation between 2021 Stella Prize winner Evie Wyld and 2021 Stella Prize judge Elizabeth McCarthy. Following the Prize announcement in April, Wyld joined us from her home in the UK to discuss The Bass Rock's gothic tale of toxic masculinity, and the impact the Stella Prize continues to have on the Australian literary landscape. Established in 2012 to combat widespread gender bias in Australian literature, the Stella Prize elevates the writing of Australian women and non-binary writers with an annual $50,000 literary prize, and offers a dynamic snapshot of the richness and diversity Australian literature has to offer. Content warning: This conversation includes discussion of abuse, sexual assault and self-harm.

Katie Kitamura's writing is taut, morally complex, beguiling, and gets under your skin. Garth Greenwell described her as ‘among the most brilliant and profound writers at work today' and as Evie Wyld said she's ‘one of the best living writers I've read, and she gives the dead ones a run for their money'. Katie has written for publications like the New York Times, The Guardian and Granta, and teaches creative writing at New York University. Her first novel was The Longshot and then came Gone To The Forest. Katie's third novel, A Separation, was a finalist for the Italian award Premio von Rezzori, was translated into sixteen languages, and is being adapted for film. Her new novel, Intimacies has just come out and was recently one of Barak Obama's summer reading selections. The narration has an elegance and deceptive distance at first, then it pulls you in til you're utterly hooked. It's a beautifully written and thought-proving book with astute observations about human nature, performance, language, and how we grapple with a world that doesn't have clear cut edges. Find Katie's novels in all good bookshops such as: Readings in Melbourne https://www.readings.com.auLRB in London https://www.londonreviewbookshop.co.ukCity Lights in San Francisco http://www.citylights.com

Plus, Evie Wyld reads her poem 'Floorboards', and we get some recommendations for reading, watching and listening in August.

Poetry Month, presented by Red Room Poetry, is a celebration of how poetry connects, entertains and educates. Red Room Poetry is partnering with RN this August to feature some of the commissioned poets and poems.

Diese Bücher müsst ihr einfach im August lesen. Wir haben für euch Roman, Sachbuch und Jugendbuch im Gepäck und sind HYPED. Ein absolutes Highlight: “Die Frauen” von Evie Wyld, es geht um eine schottische Insel, es geht um Familie und Freundschaft, es geht um Hexen. “The Comfort Book” von Matt Haig ist ein kleiner, aber feiner Ratgeber zum Thema mental health. Und “Und der Ozean war unser Himmel” von Patrick Ness ist Moby Dick, aber umgedreht: Wale jagen Menschen. Oh ja.

Since Evie Wyld was first published, her writing has been celebrated for its fine observations, and way of pinning down emotional nuance. Her first novel, After the Fire, A Still Small Voice, won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and a Betty Trask Award and Evie was listed as one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists. Her second novel, All the Birds Singing, won the Miles Franklin Award, the Encore Award, the Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize, and was longlisted for the Stella Prize. Then with her third novel The Bass Rock she won the Stella Prize. It weaves together the lives of three women across different periods of time and explores male violence, in different guises. But Evie doesn't just explore male violence, she gets in deep, and leaves you reeling from the cumulative impact of this age-old misogyny. It's one of the most unsettling and artfully written novels of recent times. Evie's also written a graphic novel with illustrator Joe Sumner called Everything Is Teeth, and she co-runs Review, an indie bookshop in Peckham London.

Three generations of women face the threat of violent and predatory men in Miles Franklin winner Evie Wyld's new novel, The Bass Rock.

Leap into the early 1980s, step onto an isolated rocky outcrop, and walk through a fraught dream house, all in a collection of new writing.

The actor and comedian BJ Novak has written his first children's book. The Book With No Pictures is, as its title suggests, text-only. Despite this it must be doing something right because it's topped the New York Times bestseller list. BJ Novak talks to Mariella about why he chose to omit the illustrations - even on the cover. Peter Walker from New Zealand and Australian writer Evie Wyld have each written about the legacy of the Vietnam war in their fiction. They talk to Mariella about the impact of that war on Antipodean fiction, a war some feel has been partly written out of their countries' history. Ben Elton, novelist, stand-up, writer of musicals, co-creator of Blackadder, shares the Book He'd Never Lend, a comic masterpiece which he loves for its refreshing lack of cynicism.

Writers Damian Barr, Evie Wyld and Joe Dunthorne discuss the rise of live literary events.

Evie Wyld, one of Granta's 2013 best young British novelists, discusses her latest book All the Birds, Singing and we discuss the controversial emerging genre of New Adult
