Podcast appearances and mentions of Gabrielle Zevin

Qualcuno (le ragazze di Heloola - ndr) ha definito questo libro "l'antidoto a Una vita come tante": oggi parliamo di "Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow" di Gabrielle Zevin. Ma chiacchieriamo anche di stereotipi, pregiudizi, cose da maschio e cose da femmina, videogiochi, gamergate e uomini che come al solito rovinano cose belle.Con Margherita Buccilli e Federica Caslotti.

Every year, the Multnomah County Library chooses one book they hope the whole city of Portland will read. Between January and April, the Library, and their partner organizations, host events based around the themes of the book, and they distribute thousands of free copies—thanks to the Library Foundation—to readers of all ages from across the county. Here at Literary Arts, our role is to bring the author to town for a talk in the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.   This year, the 2025 Everybody Reads selection is the memoir Solito by Javier Zamora. For information about how to engage with the program, visit the Multnomah County Library's web site. I am thrilled to say Javier Zamora will be in Portland on Tuesday, March 11 at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall for the culminating event of the 2025 Everybody Reads Program.   For now, let's return to the 2024 Everybody Reads event, featuring Gabrielle Zevin and her novel Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.   Gabrielle Zevin has been steadily publishing fiction for almost two decades and has also written occasional criticism as well as award-winning screenplays. But it was Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow that catapulted her to the stratosphere of literary stardom. It was a #1 New York Times bestseller and spent over 50 weeks on the fiction bestseller list.    To be sure, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is about video games, and makes a convincing argument for the power and potential of narrative storytelling in video games. But really, it is about making art, and questions about originality, appropriation, and ambition that come with that pursuit. And perhaps more so, it is a love story, about friends and creative partners, and the excitement, joy, tragedy, and betrayal that come with any long relationship. It's about something, I'd wager, we've all been thinking about the past few years: connection.    Tickets for Everybody Reads 2025 with Javier Zamora are on sale now! Find your tickets here.  Gabrielle Zevin is a New York Times best-selling novelist whose books have been translated into forty languages.   Her tenth novel, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, was a New York Times Best Seller, a Sunday Times Best Seller, and a selection of the Tonight Show's Fallon Book Club. Tomorrow was Amazon.com's #1 Book of the Year, Time Magazine's #1 Book of the Year, a New York Times Notable Book, and the winner of both the Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction and the Book of the Month Club's Book of the Year. Following a twenty-five-bidder auction, the feature film rights to Tomorrow were acquired by Temple Hill and Paramount Studios.  The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry also spent many months on the New York Times Best Seller List. A.J. Fikry was honored with the Southern California Independent Booksellers Award for Fiction, the Japan Booksellers' Prize, among other honors. A.J. Fikry is now a feature film with a screenplay by Zevin. She has also written children's books, including the award-winning Elsewhere.   She is the screenwriter of Conversations with Other Women (Helena Bonham Carter) for which she received an Independent Spirit Award Nomination for Best First Screenplay. She has occasionally written criticism for the New York Times Book Review and NPR's All Things Considered, and she began her writing career, at age fourteen, as a music critic for the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. Zevin is a graduate of Harvard University. She lives in Los Angeles.

Gabrielle Zevin is a lifelong devotee of video games, which is obvious to readers of her newest book, the bestseller “Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.” The book tells the story of two video game designers who find professional creative and intellectual synergy that doesn’t always match in their personal lives. The book starts from the premise that designing video games is the highest of artistic pursuits. "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" is the Multnomah County Everybody Reads 2024 selection, and Zevin joins us to discuss it in front of an audience of students at Grant High School.

On the occasion of the paperback release of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow—a New York Times bestseller and #1 Indie National Best Seller—Gabrielle Zevin shares the exhilarating story of two friends who come together as creative partners in the world of video game design, where success brings them fame, joy, tragedy, duplicity, and, ultimately, a kind of immortality. In conversation with Angie Kim, the author of the international bestseller, Miracle Creek, and most recently of the New York Times bestselling novel, Happiness Falls. This program was held on July 10, 2024 in partnership with Politics and Prose.

The fourth-most-popular entertainment news podcast in The Gambia returns this week with a great dog days of summer episode. First up, host Neal Pollack welcomes Sharyn Vane for another important eat-your-veggies segment. Apparently, the literary world has decided that apolitical writer Gabrielle Zevin, author of the bestselling 'Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow' is a "Zionist" because her novel features an Israel character and she once gave an interview to Hadassah magazine. This is annoying at the least, and quite dangerous at the most, and Book and Film Globe will continue to stand strong against forces in the literary world that insist on marginalizing and discriminating against Jewish authors. We should be long past this as a society.But we are not long past M. Night Shyamalan movies, and JonPaul Guinn joins our Rotten Tomatoes-approved editor-in-chief to discuss M. Night's wacky new locked-room serial-killer movie 'Trap,' which is almost a comedy, and is quite a lot of fun. JP way prefers Trap to Longlegs, and both he and Neal way prefer it to the previous Shyamalan movie A Knock At The Cabin, which collapsed under the weight of its own pretentiousness. There's nothing pretentious about Trap, it's fun. You will have fun. Have fun at it.There's also nothing pretentious about the Apple+ TV adaptation of Time Bandits, though Scott Gold, our resident Time Bandits effort, admits that showrunners Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement lack the artistry of Terry Gilliam, who made the original Time Bandits. But for men of a certain age, which Scott and Neal most definitely are, a Time Bandits reboot is nostalgic catnip. Scott says the show is funny, if not a surrealist masterpiece like the original. A little warm glow of time-traveling nostalgia. No pop-culture product ever really dies, and the new Time Bandits is no exception.Enjoy the show!

On this week's episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by author Gabrielle Zevin for a conversation about her blockbuster bestselling novel, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. Gabrielle's novel was an instant New York Times best seller, one of the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century, and Book of the Month's Book of the Year. Gabrielle's other novels include The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, Young Jane Young, and Elsewhere. Her books have been translated into over forty languages. In this conversation, we learn about Gabrielle's creative process, her journey as a writer, and the captivating characters from her beloved novels.

For Ep. 173, Susie Boutry (@NovelVisits) joins me as we circle back to one of our favorite topics — niching down our reading into micro genres! In this special Circle Back, we revisit some previously shared micro genres from our two past Micro Genres We Love episodes and introduce two additional micro genres from a Patreon bonus episode not yet heard on the big show! We give examples that define each micro genre for us and share new books we've read that fit into these niches. Plus, we share books for that DIDN'T work for us.

“Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow” is a New York Times best-selling book about love, art and video games. The author, Gabrielle Zevin, will be in Minneapolis on Friday to promote the paperback launch of her book two years after release. MPR News reporter Kyra Miles spoke with Zevin ahead of the event.For those who might not know, can you give a quick synopsis in your own words?Zevin: I'm already laughing at that because I've been promoting the book for two years. And it's kind of embarrassing to say that I still find “Tomorrow” somewhat hard to synopsis. So I'll add to that “Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow” is the story of Sam Mazur and Sadie Green, who have a three-decade-long friendship and artistic collaboration. And for me, the crux of the story is maybe how difficult it is to connect even though we have ever-increasing means to do so — but the real possibility of making meaningful connections in virtual spaces.So I've recommended this book to a lot of people. But I think something that I always disclaim to people when I recommend it is how perfectly imperfect the characters are. How do you go about creating these flawed but realistic characters?You know, I don't know if I'm trying to create people that are imperfect, but I am trying to create people and people are imperfect. I think there are some people that want to read characters that are maybe better than us in some way, but I am not that reader. I think the thing that moves me most in fiction is the sort of gap between the way we perceive ourselves and the way we perceive others.So what's exciting for you about this paperback launch? It's been two years in hardcover. And it's been great to just see it kind of sell and sell and sell. But with a lower price point, I'm excited that it gets to even more readers, readers who maybe felt resistant to the idea [of] a literary novel about video games, will think, “Hey, now that the price is lower, maybe I'll try a novel about video games.”I read lit-fic, but I am really a romance reader. And while I don't see this book as a romance, would you consider it a love story?I mean, I think all stories are love stories or lack-of-love stories. I think, in a sense, you can find it in even the most like ostensibly just esoteric literary fiction. At core, we're talking about: Were you loved enough? Did you love enough? And so I see all stories as love stories, even as somebody who writes literary fiction. But that said, I think the word romance has a burden that it doesn't need to have, you know. I think the book is not a romance, not in the way people think of romance. But I do think it is about two people who have a romance of the mind, but not a romance of the body.This book originally came out as the world was emerging from a pandemic. And now this paperback is emerging into a world where we have lots of major international conflicts going on. How do you think that will affect first time readers of this book?I think the worlds that my characters find themselves in in the book is the world. It has all of the things in it, not necessarily the particularity of 2024, you know, but it doesn't exist in a world that doesn't have conflict. When the book came out in 2022, there's a little bit that has to do with gun violence in the book, or maybe not a little bit, maybe a significant part of the book. And at the time I was doing interviews, journalists would ask me, “How did you know there would be another gun crime in the U.S. when you wrote this book?” I'm like, “because there's always another gun crime in the U.S.” And so if you write books that are, again, more in the world, I think they they feel more maybe naturally continuous with the way we live right now.I want to ask you what's next. But I also know that the book has been optioned as a movie. How are you thinking everything's gonna fit into a two-hour movie?When we went out with the book, it sold in manuscript — actually, it had its first film offers before we even sold the book — they actually kind of happened at the same time. But I said to my agents that I really thought it should be a limited series. And so of course, the best offers that came back were for movies. I don't feel desperately sad. There are some authors who are very eager to see their characters come to life on screen. But I never felt that way. Even though obviously it would be meaningful, probably financially, it would bring your books to a broader audience, and there are advantages to that happening, but I also just love the way a book can just exist as a book.

Gabrielle Zevin wrote the runaway bestseller Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, but she doesn't expect anyone to know most of her other nine books. The acclaimed novelist joins Adam to discuss how to face failure, find inspiration, make sure success doesn't hinder creativity, and stay motivated when your goals don't align with your skills. Then, they riff on the most important elements of a story and several mic drop moments in her work. Transcripts for ReThinking are available at go.ted.com/RWAGscripts

Smack and Gabi reconvene after a bit of a life-induced break and go over what they've read since they last saw each other.  This episode is mostly Gabi reads, but with some overlap due to her Smack Shelf books.  Highlights include a complicated fantasy novel with friends teaming up to burn the world down to save a wife, a bunch of murderous and yet somehow beloved convicts trying to escape their prison ship, and a devastating contemporary(ish) fiction novel about friendship and video games and an NPC who deserved better.  Tune in next month for the complimentary wrap-up of Smack reads! Books discussed this episode include: Witch King by Martha Wells The Witchery (The Witchery, #1) by S. Isabelle She Is a Haunting by Trang Thanh Tran Murder and Magic duology by Nicole Glover The Dred Chronicles by Ann Aguirre Tell Me I'm Worthless by Allison Rumfitt Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a rare piece of fiction about game development, and the brothers break down its themes of collaboration and creativity, its rich characters and game worlds, how well it depicts the industry, and more.

This episode was recorded in February 2023, so please excuse the outdated pop culture references. This month (February 2023) Brindolyn and Karson fell in love with a couple of romance novels. Brindolyn read "Radha and Jai's Recipe for Romance" by Nisha Sharma, and Karson read "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes. Trigger warning for "Me Before You": This book references suicide, self-harm and sexual assault. In our next episode, Karson will be reading "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" by Gabrielle Zevin, and Brindolyn will be diving into "Site Alpha" by Neal Romriell.

Gabrielle Zevin is a lifelong devotee of video games, which is obvious to readers of her newest book, the bestseller “Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.” The book tells the story of two video game designers who find professional creative and intellectual synergy that doesn’t always match in their personal lives. The book starts from the premise that designing video games is the highest of artistic pursuits. "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" is the Multnomah County Everybody Reads 2024 selection, and Zevin joins us to discuss it in front of an audience of students at Grant High School.

Apple has gotten used to being a favorite target of rivals and government agencies. The company has been repeatedly scrutinized by regulators, and other tech companies have accused the company of anticompetitive practices. Apple's most recent legal challenge is a doozy: an antitrust lawsuit filed by the US Department of Justice and more than a dozen state attorneys general. The suit takes aim at the security and privacy features offered only on the iPhone, and accuses Apple of using that exclusivity to lock consumers into its ecosystem. At the center of the suit is the lack of true cross-platform encryption on Apple's messaging platform—the green bubble-blue bubble divide—which the government alleges harms consumers by leaving them more vulnerable to attacks.This week on Gadget Lab, we talk with WIRED senior security editor Andrew Couts about the encryption and privacy issues behind the DOJ's suit against Apple, and how the dreaded green bubbles on iMessage factor in.Show Notes:Read Andrew and Andy Greenberg's WIRED story about how the DOJ is targeting Apple's iMessage encryption. Read Lauren's story about how the antitrust case is all about the green bubbles, really.Recommendations:Andrew recommends profumo del chianti sea salt. Lauren recommends the book Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. Mike recommends going to the Big Ears music festival next year.Andrew Couts can be found on social media @AndrewCouts. Lauren Goode is @LaurenGoode. Michael Calore is @snackfight.

Dans chaque épisode, je partage avec toi une question inspirée par les podcasts que j'écoute, par mes lectures. Et tout simplement par des choses qui m'ont marquée, qui m'ont étonnée récemment.

Qu'est-ce que ça nous apporte ? La phrase à retenir : « Tous les artistes en devenir sont confrontés à cet instant où les goûts l'emportent sur les capacités. Le seul moyen de le traverser c'est d'agir malgré tout. » (Extrait du roman de l'autrice américaine Gabrielle Zevin, Demain, et demain, et demain) Résumé de l'épisode : Monopoly, Cluedo, Uno… Vous connaissez certainement ces jeux de société auxquels on joue en famille ou entre amis. Même si on aime pas jouer, il existe un jeu pour chaque joueur. L'épisode de cette semaine est inspiré par un roman que j'ai lu récemment, un roman qui s'appelle Demain, et demain, et demain, et qui a été écrit par l'autrice américaine Gabrielle Zevin. Son histoire se passe dans un univers bien précis, celui des jeux vidéo. J'ai pas grandi en jouant à des jeux vidéo. Et pourtant, j'ai adoré ce roman. Ça m'a fait réfléchir au lien entre le jeu et l'enfance. L'enfance, c'est le moment où on apprend à jouer. Et les jeux influencent la manière dont on découvre le monde. (03:05) La question qu'on se pose cette semaine, c'est la suivante : pourquoi on aime jouer ? (03:47) D'abord, on évoque les jeux de société qui existent et les personnes qui y jouent. (09:18) Ensuite, on s'intéresse aux bienfaits des jeux de société. (14:40) Et pour finir, on parle du jeu et de ce qu'il apporte dans l'apprentissage. Bonne écoute ! Pour aller plus loin : L'épisode "Les bienfaits des jeux de société", du podcast "Grand bien vous fasse !" sur France Inter L'épisode "Florence, le plus touchant des jeux tactiles", du podcast "La faute aux jeux vidéo" sur France Inter ---- Crédit musique : Betty Dear + Taoudella by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blue Dot Sessions⁠
