Why is it that so many classic British sitcoms (such as Keeping Up Appearances , The Good Life and One Foot In the Grave) are set in the suburbs? The recent smash hit Amandaland seems to be drawing satirical inspiration from these shows. Similarly, musicians (such as Pulp and The Pet Shop Boys), poets (such as Philip Larkin), film-makers (such as David Lynch) and novelists (such as Hanif Kureishi in his seminar Buddha of Suburbia) all seem to have found a reach source of satiric inspiration amidst the liminal hinterlands of the "burbs." Why is this? Jo and Adam are back to investigate. They also discuss Boon Joon Ho's Mickey 17, and reflect on their recent life event at the York Literature Festival, "Literary Feuds: Authors Hating Authors in the Olden Days."

Jordan Elgrably in conversation with Sarah AlKahly-Mills, with readings from both authors. City Lights celebrates the publication of "Stories from the Center of the World: New Middle East Fiction," edited by Jordan Elgrably, published by City Lights Books. You can purchase copies directly from City Lights here: https://citylights.com/stories-from-the-center-of-the-world/ "Stories from the Center of the World" gathers new writing from 25 emerging and established writers of Middle Eastern and North African origins, offering a unique collection of voices and viewpoints that illuminate life in the global Arab/Muslim world. The authors included in the book come from a wide range of cultures and countries, including Palestine, Syria, Pakistan, Iran, Lebanon, Egypt, and Morocco. In “Asha and Haaji,” Hanif Kureishi takes up the cause of outsiders who become uprooted when war or disaster strikes and they flee for safe haven. In Nektaria Anastasiadou‘s “The Location of the Soul According to Benyamin Alhadeff,” two students in Istanbul from different classes — and religions that have often been at odds with one another — believe they can overcome all obstacles. MK Harb‘s story, “Counter Strike,” is about queer love among Beiruti adolescents; and Salar Abdoh‘s “The Long Walk of the Martyrs” invites us into the world of former militants, fighters who fought ISIS or Daesh in Iraq and Syria, who are having a hard time readjusting to civilian life. In “Eleazar,” Karim Kattan tells an unexpected Palestinian story in which the usual antagonists — Israeli occupation forces — are mostly absent, while another malevolent force seems to overtake an unsuspecting family. Omar El Akkad‘s “The Icarist” is a coming-of-age story about the underworld in which illegal immigrants are forced to live, and what happens when one dares to break away. Contributors include: Salar Abdoh, Leila Aboulela, Farah Ahamed, Omar El Akkad, Sarah AlKahly-Mills, Nektaria Anastasiadou, Amany Kamal Eldin, Jordan Elgrably, Omar Foda, May Haddad, Danial Haghighi, Malu Halasa, MK Harb, Alireza Iranmehr, Karim Kattan, Hanif Kureishi, Ahmed Salah Al-Mahdi, Diary Marif, Tariq Mehmood, Sahar Mustafah, Mohammed Al-Naas, Ahmed Naji, Mai Al-Nakib, Abdellah Taia, and Natasha Tynes. Jordan Elgrably is a Franco-American and Moroccan writer and translator, whose stories and creative nonfiction have appeared in numerous anthologies and reviews, including Apulée, Salmagundi, and The Paris Review. Editor-in-chief and founder of The Markaz Review, he is the cofounder and former director of the Levantine Cultural Center/The Markaz in Los Angeles (2001-2020), and producer of the stand-up comedy show “The Sultans of Satire” (2005-2017) and hundreds of other public programs. He is based in Montpellier, France and California. Sarah AlKahly-Mills is a Lebanese-American writer.

Lucía Lijtmaer nació en Buenos Aires en 1977. Tenía siete meses cuando llegó a Barcelona, con sus padres, que como tantos otros argentinos jóvenes buscaban un destino lejos de la dictadura militar. Licenciada en Filología inglesa, es autora de ficción y de ensayo y conduce, junto con Isabel Calderón, el conocido podcast Deforme Semanal. Desde 2015 vive en Madrid. Su novela Cauterio, en la que entreteje dos voces femeninas diversas y alejadas en los tiempos -una mujer joven y contemporánea en España, otra de los tiempos reales de cazas de brujas en Estados Unidos, que puede leerse también en clave del presente- recibió elogios unánimes y está en proceso de traducción a varias lenguas. En su ensayo Ofendiditos, Lijtmaer analiza diversos eventos de la llamada era de la cancelación y los analiza en clave de la radicalización de la derecha y lo que llama la criminalización de la protesta y de la libertad de expresión y, también, la descalificación del feminismo. Recientemente editorial Anagrama acaba de reeditar Casi nada que ponerte, un libro de género inclasificable (crónica de viajes, biografía, memoire, teatro) publicado originalmente en 2015, en el que Lucía narra el apogeo y decadencia de una pareja de modistos y diseñadores top, Jorge y Simón, nacidos en pueblos miserables y exitosos personajes de la sociedad de su tiempo en Buenos Aires, y, en simultáneo, sus memorias de hija de exiliados y la relación entrañable, íntima y también incómoda con el país de sus padres. Una narración híbrida para historias híbridas, excitantes y también tristísimas. En la sección En voz alta, Leticia Martin leyó un fragmento de la novela “Intimidad” de Hanif Kureishi. Leticia es narradora, poeta y crítica cultural. Es Licenciada en Ciencias de la Comunicación (UBA) y tiene un Posgrado Internacional en Gestión Cultural y Políticas de Comunicación (FLACSO). Publicó el libro de ensayos Feminismos y las novelas El gusto, Estrógenos, Topadoras oxidadas y Un ruido nuevo. También es autora de una serie extensa de libros de poesía. El volumen de cuentos titulado Todo lo que no es boca en mi cuerpo grita aparecerá próximamente en Argentina y con Vladimir, publicado por Penguin Random House, obtuvo el Premio Lumen de novela. Y en Te regalo un libro, Jorge Pinedo nos regaló “Sueños como cuchillos” de Gabriela Mayer, “Pombero” de Marina Closs y “La paciencia del agua sobre cada piedra” de Alejandra Kamiya y destaca a Nurit Kasztelan, cuyo último libro es “Tanto”. Jorge es psicoanalista, antropólogo y crítico literario. Jorge ingresó con poco más de 20 años en el diario la Opinión. Formó parte de la Agencia de Noticias Clandestina (ANCLA) y actualmente escribe en el portal “El cohete a la luna”.

Quando vidi My Beautiful Laundrette nel 1985 non avevo idea di chi fosse Hanif Kureishi, ero troppo intenta ad innamorarmi di Daniel Day-Lewis che vedevo lì per la prima volta. Continuai ad ignorare l'esistenza di Hanif Kureishi anche quando uscì Sammy and Rosie Get Laid, qualche anno dopo. Fu solo quando esplose il fenomeno letterario The Buddah of Suburbia che incrontrai il nome di Kureishi e mi appassionai ai suoi romanzi. Ora seguo i suoi dispacci dal suo letto d'ospedale, un'attività meno morbosa di quanto non possa apparire a prima vista.TRASCRIZIONE [ENG translation below]La prima volta che incontrai Hanif Kureishi lo feci inconsciamente, nel senso che non sapevo che c'era lui dietro la sceneggiatura di quel film, sto parlando di My Beautiful Laundrette, un film che esplose letteralmente nel 1985, fece tantissimo scalpore e vinse anche un sacco di premi, tra l'altro il film dove vidi per la prima volta sullo schermo uno strepitoso Daniel Day-Lewis.Ecco, Hanif Kureishi era lo sceneggiatore di My Beautiful Laundrette, penso che in italiano l'abbiano tradotta lavanderia a gettoni o qualcosa del genere. Poi, due anni dopo, fece un altro film, Sammy and Rosie Get Laid, anche quello ebbe molto successo, anche se non tanto quanto My Beautiful Laundrette, però con il Buddha delle periferie, The Buddha of Suburbia del 1990 che mi sono resa conto che Hanif Kureishi mi piaceva tantissimo.The Buddha of Suburbia è il suo primo romanzo e anche questo vinse un sacco di premi e lo mise nel panorama dei giovani scrittori, perché aveva poco più di trent'anni quando uscì The Buddha of Suburbia credo, quindi lo mise nel panorama degli scrittori molto importanti e da lì poi ho cercato di seguire un po' quello che lui ha scritto.Qualche anno dopo scrisse Intimacy, che mi piacque però vagamente ricordo che venne un po oscurato da uno scandalo, perché Intimacy è la storia di un uomo che lascia la moglie, e lui aveva appena lasciato sua moglie nella vita reale per mettersi con una donna più giovane, beh, l'abbiamo visto un sacco di volte queste storie.Perché vi sto parlando di Hanif Kureishi? Perché lo scrittore a dicembre dello scorso anno era in vacanza con la moglie a Roma, è caduto ed è rimasto paralizzato e da dicembre dello scorso anno, ha trascorso prima molti mesi in un ospedale a Roma, poi è stato trasferito in un ospedale a Londra, dove è adesso, e dall'ospedale ha iniziato a scrivere una newsletter che si chiama Dispatches From My Hospital Bed, quindi messaggi, missive dal mio letto dell'ospedale. E io l'ho scoperto per caso, non sapevo che gli fosse successo questo incidente l'ho scoperto qualche mese fa, e da quando l'ho scoperto sono diventata una assidua lettrice di questa sua newsletter, dove racconta, anche con dettagli molto scabrosi, molto molto intimi, quello che gli succede nel letto d'ospedale e com'è cambiata la sua prospettiva di vita.Incredibilmente affascinante, incredibilmente profondo e toccante.TRANSLATIONThe first time I met Hanif Kureishi I did it unconsciously, in the sense that I didn't know that he was behind the script of that film, I'm talking about My Beautiful Laundrette, a film that literally exploded in 1985, made a lot of buzz and also won a lot of awards, by the way, it was the film where I saw for the first time a stunning Daniel Day-Lewis. That's it, Hanif Kureishi was the screenwriter of My Beautiful Laundrette, I think they translated it into Italian token laundry or something like that. Then, two years later, he made another film, Sammy and Rosie and Get Laid, that was also very successful, although not as much as My Beautiful Laundrette, however, it was with The Buddha of Suburbia in 1990 that I realised that I liked Hanif Kureishi very much.The Buddha of Suburbia is his first novel and that also won a lot of awards and put him on the map of young writers, because he was in his early thirties when The Buddha of Suburbia came out, I think, so it put him on the map of important writers and from there then I tried to follow what he wrote.A few years later he wrote Intimacy, which I liked, however, I vaguely remember that it was somewhat overshadowed by a scandal, because Intimacy is the story of a man who leaves his wife, and he had just left his wife in real life to get with a younger woman, well, we've seen these stories a lot of times.Why am I telling you about Hanif Kureishi? The writer in December last year was on vacation with his wife in Rome, fell and became paralysed, since December last year, he spent at first many months in a hospital in Rome, then he was transferred to a hospital in London, where he is now, and from the hospital he started to write a newsletter called Dispatches From My Hospital Bed, so messages, missives from my hospital bed. And I found out by accident, I didn't know about the accident, I found out a few months ago, and since I found out I have become a regular reader of this newsletter of his, where he tells, even with very rough details, very intimate details, what happens to him in the hospital bed and how his perspective of life has changed.Incredibly fascinating, incredibly deep and touching.LINKSLa pagina di Hanif Kureishi su Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanif_KureishiLa newsletter dal letto dell'ospedale https://open.substack.com/pub/hanifkureishi/p/the-day-room?r=afs8d&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Summary: Sara takes (kind of sort of) a break from talking fanfic and bandfic to talk about a different form of storytelling– music, and writing about music! shineswithyou is a familiar face around Oasis and U2 tumblr, but what you might NOT know is that she has recently embarked on a writing journey of her own, with a substack blog about music and its place as the soundtrack of her own life. Sara and shines talk about her blog, and the difficulty of “writing words about sounds”; how music is a language in and of itself capable of telling its own (and our own) stories. Of COURSE we loop it back around to fanfiction and RPF (or, ‘real person fanfiction'), and how bandfic is, at its core, a pure form of love for the musical artist. Other talking points include: how awesome Bono is, and how we wish we could have been at Slane Castle in 2001; the perennial dysfunction of the Gallagher brothers; and the dichotomy of the U2 and Oasis fandoms.

The writer Salman Rushdie is still recovering in hospital from a brutal attack at a literary event last Friday. A young man rushed onstage and stabbed Rushdie nearly a dozen times, leaving him with injuries so severe he may lose an eye. While Rushdie himself has never been attacked like this before, this isn't the first attempt on his life. He has been targeted by death threats ever since the Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran issued a fatwa calling for Rushdie's death in 1989. The fatwa was over Rushdie's 1988 novel, The Satanic Verses, parts of which some Muslims consider blasphemous. The uproar over the book led to huge protests in many countries, pushed Rushdie into hiding for nearly a decade, and led to the deaths of several people around the world. In England, where Rushdie was based, many people believe it also transformed U.K. society — particularly relations between British Muslims and non-Muslims. Today, we're looking back at The Satanic Verses affair and its long-term impacts with Mobeen Azhar, a BBC journalist and filmmaker. He's made a documentary about it, The Satanic Verses: 30 Years On, and a podcast, Fatwa. We'll also hear from celebrated British novelist and playwright Hanif Kureishi, who is a longtime friend of Rushdie's.

This week's guest is Sanjena Sathian, author GOLD DIGGERS. We follow Neil Narayan as he navigates his tumultuous teen years entrenched in the Indian community in suburban Georgia, as he progresses to struggling grad student in the Bay area. The question of ambition looms large in Neil's life, and his lack of interest in academic and extracurricular excellence set him apart from his peers. His attentions are more focused on his neighbor, Anita. Neil soon learns the secret to Anita's ambition is a potion brewed from stolen gold. Neil gets involved in gold pilfering, and after tragedy strikes, he must decide whether to return to the practice in his mid-twenties when the stakes are even higher. Focusing on the idea of the 'typical' South Asian novel and her own desire to eschew tradition, Sanjena chose the 1990 novel THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA by Hanif Kureishi, a book that rolls its eyes at conventions and expectations. Instead, Kureishi delves us into the wild world of Karim Amir, coming of age in mid 1970s London. Karim, half South Asian and half English, sees his immigrant father transition from mildmannered family man to newly ordained Buddhist guru for unhappy white people. When Karim's own life takes a turn into an acting career, and the roles he take on call into question his identity, Karim sees the common ground between himself and his father. Ultimately, this is a work of race, society, as well as sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Sanjena waxes poetic on influential works, how the history of South Asian America is more complicated than we think, as well as representation in a burgeoning media market. As always, all episodes are spoiler free, although we believe that a novel like THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA may not even have spoilers in the traditional sense.
