Podcast appearances and mentions of Harry N Abrams

  Charles Bock was last on Book Talk for his debut novel, Beautiful Children, which won the 2009 Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His second novel was Alice and Oliver. Today, we're talking about his recent memoir, I Will Do Better: A Father's Memoir of Heartbreak, Parenting, and Love published by Harry N. Abrams, which is distributed by Hachette. 

Today I talked to Chikodili Emelumadu about Dazzling (Harry N. Abrams, 2023). Treasure and Ozoemena are young Nigerian girls forced to deal with spirits after losing their fathers. Treasure is forced to beg in the marketplace as her mother lies bedridden and depressed, and a wicked spirit finds her there and tries to make her his wife. He promises to bring her father back to life if she helps him by finding other girls for his friends. Ozoemena's father has disappeared, leaving the family with questions and responsibilities. She learns from her grandmother that she is descended from a wild, ancient beast, the Leopard from an Igbo legend, which gives her terrible dreams and sometimes takes over her body. Touching on Igbo mythology and African folklore, Emelumadu's dual-voiced stories focus on family, traditions, growing up, and the forces that conspire to prevent people from overcoming their grief. Chikodili Emelumadu was born in Worksop, Nottinghamshire and raised in Awka, Nigeria. Her work has been shortlisted for the Shirley Jackson Awards (2015), the Caine Prize for African Literature (2017 & 2020) and has won a Nommo award (2020 & 2024). In 2019, she emerged winner of the inaugural Curtis Brown First Novel prize for her debut novel, Dazzling. Her short fiction is available in many magazines and anthologies such as Isolation: The Horror Anthology (2022), Screams from the Dark (2022), Experimental Writing: A Writer's Guide and Anthology (2024) and as part of the Royal Literary Fund's Writer's Mosaic. She can be found raving about books and art on Twitter @chemelumadu, or Instagram @chikodiliemelumadu. Learn more about your ad choices.

Wir springen in dieser Folge in die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts. New York City ist mittlerweile eine der reichsten Städte der Welt, aber im Vergleich zu den Städten Europas fehlt es der Stadt an Kultur. Das und einige weitere Gründe werden die Stadtregierung davon überzeugen, dass die Stadt vor allem eines benötigt: einen Park. Wir sprechen in dieser Folge darüber, wie das vonstattenging und weshalb nicht alle davon profitierten. //Erwähnte Folgen - GAG173: Der gefährliche Garten von Vaux-le-Vicomte – https://gadg.fm/173 - GAG316: Die Shakespeare-Unruhen – https://gadg.fm/316 - GAG385: Delmonico's und der erste Starkoch der USA – https://gadg.fm/385 - GAG82: Victor Gruen und die Erfindung des Einkaufszentrums – https://gadg.fm/82 - GAG188: Martin Couney und die Inkubator-Ausstellungen – https://gadg.fm/188 - GAG334: Rachel Carson und der stumme Frühling – https://gadg.fm/334 //Literatur - Roy Rosenzweig und Elizabeth Blackmar.

Henry Darger is one of the most profitable outsider artists out there. Unfortunately he didn't reap the benefit of that while he was alive, spending much of it in abject poverty. He was compelled to make and write art during the time he was not working as a janitor or dishwasher. His artwork dealt with themes of child abuse and violence, subjects very familiar with Darger when he was put in an asylum at the age of 12. Strange Country cohost Beth with special pinch (or pitch) hitter Terry discuss this artist and why work gets recognition after they're gone. Theme music: Big White Lie by A Cast of Thousands.

Using data from the writers' groundbreaking research on mass shooters, including first-person accounts from the perpetrators themselves, The Violence Project: How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic (Harry N. Abrams, 2021) charts new pathways to prevention and innovative ways to stop the social contagion of violence. Frustrated by reactionary policy conversations that never seemed to convert into meaningful action, special investigator and psychologist Jill Peterson and sociologist James Densley built The Violence Project, the first comprehensive database of mass shooters. Their goal was to establish the root causes of mass shootings and figure out how to stop them by examining hundreds of data points in the life histories of more than 170 mass shooters--from their childhood and adolescence to their mental health and motives. They've also interviewed the living perpetrators of mass shootings and people who knew them, shooting survivors, victims' families, first responders, and leading experts to gain a comprehensive firsthand understanding of the real stories behind them, rather than the sensationalized media narratives that too often prevail. For the first time, instead of offering thoughts and prayers for the victims of these crimes, Peterson and Densley share their data-driven solutions for exactly what we must do, at the individual level, in our communities, and as a country, to put an end to these tragedies that have defined our modern era.

Born as the daughter of freedmen in 1902, Sarah Rector rose from humble beginnings to reportedly become the wealthiest black girl in the nation at the age of 11. Rector and her family where African American members of the Muscogee Creek Nation who lived in a modest cabin in the predominantly black town of Taft, Oklahoma, which, at the time, was considered Indian Territory. Following the Civil War, Rector's parents, who were formerly enslaved by Creek Tribe members, were entitled to land allotments under the Dawes Allotment Act of 1887. As a result, hundreds of black children, or “Creek Freedmen minors,” were each granted 160 acres of land as Indian Territory integrated with Oklahoma Territory to form the State of Oklahoma in 1907. While lands granted to former slaves were usually rocky and infertile, Rector's allotment from the Creek Indian Nation was in r the middle of the Glenn Pool oil field and was initially valued at $556.50. Strapped for cash, Rector's father leased his daughter's parcel to a major oil company in February 1911 to help him pay the $30 annual property tax. Two years later, Rector's fortune took a major turn when independent oil driller B.B. Jones produced a “gusher” on her land that brought in 2,500 barrels or 105,000 gallons per day. According to Tonya Bolden, author of Searching for Sarah Rector: The Richest Black Girl in America (Harry N. Abrams; $21.95), Rector began earning more than $300 a day in 1913. That equates to $7,000 – $8,000 today. She even generated $11,567 in October 1913. Rector's notoriety ballooned just as quickly as her wealth. In September 1913, The Kansas City Star local newspaper published the headline, “Millions to a Negro Girl – Sarah Rector, 10-Year-Old, Has Income of $300 A Day from Oil,” reports Face 2 Face Africa. In January 1914, the newspaper wrote, “Oil Made Pickaninny Rich – Oklahoma Girl With $15,000 A Month gets Many Proposals – Four White Men in Germany Want to Marry the Negro Child That They Might Share Her Fortune.” Meanwhile, the Savannah Tribune wrote, “Oil Well Produces Neat Income – Negro Girl's $112,000 A Year”. Another newspaper dubbed her “the richest negro in the world.” Her fame became widespread, and she received numerous requests for loans, money gifts, and four marriage proposals. At the time, a law required Native Americans, black adults, and children who were citizens of Indian Territory with significant property and money were to be assigned “well-respected” white guardians. As a result, Rector's guardianship switched from her parents to a white man named T.J. Porter. Concerned with her wellbeing and her white financial guardian, early NAACP leaders fought to protect her and her fortune. In 1922, she married Kenneth Campbell, the second African American to own an auto dealership. The couple had three sons and were recognized as local royalty, driving expensive cars and entertaining elites like Joe Louis, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie at their home. They divorced in 1930 and Rector remarried in 1934. Rectors lost most of her wealth during The Great Depression. When she died at age 65 on July 22, 1967, she only had some working oil wells and real estate holdings. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/unlabeled/support

In Ancient Rome, all the best stories have one thing in common—murder. Romulus killed Remus to found the city, Caesar was assassinated to save the Republic. Caligula was butchered in the theater, Claudius was poisoned at dinner, and Galba was beheaded in the Forum. In one 50-year period, 26 emperors were murdered. But what did killing mean in a city where gladiators fought to the death to sate a crowd? In A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (Harry N. Abrams, 2021), Emma Southon examines a trove of real-life homicides from Roman history to explore Roman culture, including how perpetrator, victim, and the act itself were regarded by ordinary people. Inside Ancient Rome's darkly fascinating history, we see how the Romans viewed life, death, and what it means to be human. Emma Southon holds a PhD in ancient history from the University of Birmingham. She co-hosts a history podcast with writer Janina Matthewson called History is Sexy and works full time as a bookseller at Waterstones Belfast. Schneur Zalman Newfield is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York, and the author of Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple University Press, 2020).

Wyatt and I take a trip deep into the Disney archives to look at some of the segments that unfortunately didn't make it into the final version of Fantasia and since it wasn't continued as Walt had planned, never made it to the big screen (or at least not in the intended way).And of course we hate on "The Rite of Spring".

As NPR turns 50, Lisa Napoli, journalist and author of Susan, Linda, Nina, and Cokie: The Extraordinary Story of the Founding Mothers of NPR (Harry N. Abrams, 2021), reviews the history of four women who set the tone.

Emily Spivack, artist, author of Worn Stories and Worn in New York: 68 Sartorial Memoirs of the City (Harry N. Abrams, 2017) and now creator of the Netflix docu-series "Worn Stories", joins to talk about how people will transition the way they dress as they re-enter a post-pandemic world.

Emily Spivack, artist, author of Worn in New York: 68 Sartorial Memoirs of the City Harry N. Abrams, 2017) and now creator of the Netflix docu-series "Worn Stories," talks about her new series, which explores the special meaning people give to certain clothes that they wear.

No sabemos siquiera quién es pero como que nos embruja y no la podemos dejar de ver. ¡Y es que es tan bonita! Con sus ojos claros y labios apenas separados como si quisiera decir algo. Con un turbante de tela amarilla y azul y en la oreja izquierda, una enorme perla. Esta historia se la dedicamos a La Joven de la Perla, la pintura de Jan Vermeer. Vermeer pintó La Joven de la Perla alrededor de 1665, al óleo sobre un lienzo de 45.5 x 39 cm. De acuerdo con el museo donde se encuentra, el Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis en La Haya, Holanda, la obra no es un retrato particular sino un tronie o cabeza que  es como se llaman las representaciones de los diferentes tipos de personajes.  Por ejemplo el guapo, la vieja, o en el caso de esta pintura 'la joven exótica' que lleva un turbante en la cabeza y sobre todo una perla exageradamente grande en la oreja.  Las jóvenes holandesas de su época no se vestían de ese modo; el turbante y la perla nos refieren a lugares lejanos. Bibliografía del episodio:Cascone, Sarah.

Frida Kahlo. La Frida Kahlo. Qué podemos decir acerca de una artista que es ya tan conocida? Lo primero es contarles que en vida ella no era ni la mitad de conocida de lo que era su marido, el gran muralista Diego Rivera. Cuando ella murió en 1954, sus pinturas eran prácticamente  desconocidas fuera de México. El verdadero interés por su obra empezó en los años 70 cuando con el fin de dar a conocer artistas mujeres, se publicaron los primeros dos libros acerca de su vida y obra. En 1977 se subastó por primera vez, fuera de México, una de sus pinturas, esta fue “Arbol de la esperanza, mantente firme”.  Un año más tarde, en 1978, se organizaron sus dos primeras exposiciones retrospectivas: una en el Palacio Nacional de Bellas Artes en la Ciudad de México y otra en el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Chicago. En 1982, otra exposición viajó por diferentes partes del mundo, y ese mismo año la historiadora de arte Hayden Herrera publicó “Frida: una Biografía de Frida Kahlo”.  Este libro fue considerado uno de los más vendidos a nivel internacional y sirvió de base para la película “Frida” del 2002, actuada y producida por Salma Hayek.

En el año de 1508, cuando Miguel Angel Buonarroti tenía 31 años, el Papa Julio II lo llama y le dice que quiere que pinte uno de los espacios más importantes en el Vaticano. La Capilla Sixtina toma su nombre del Papa Sixto IV quien la manda restaurar alrededor del año 1480. Es una de las capillas más importantes, además de ser la más grande dentro del Vaticano.  La bóveda mide 40 m de largo x 14 m de ancho y tiene 20 m de altura.En esta capilla es donde se reúne el Colegio de Cardenales cada vez que eligen un nuevo Papa, a esto se le llama un Cónclave. Antes de la época de Miguel Angel, algunas partes de la capilla ya habían sido decoradas con frescos diseñados por artistas importantes como Sandro Botticelli y Pietro Perugino y la bóveda estaba toda pintada de azul y decorada con estrellitas doradas. Era la época del Renacimiento, para ese entonces Miguel Angel ya había creado La Piedad, esto fue en el año de 1500 cuando el artista tenía 25 años y también había triunfado con el famosísimo David en Florencia en 1504, a sus 29 años.

Behind every landmark drug is a story. It could be a researcher’s genius insight, a catalyzing moment in geopolitical history, a new breakthrough technology, or an unexpected but welcome side effect discovered during clinical trials. In his new book, Ten Drugs: How Plants, Powders, and Pills Have Shaped the History of Medicine (Harry N. Abrams, 2019), Thomas Hager traces the “mini-biographies” of ten drugs and drug treatments that have shaped the course of human history, showing how serendipity and sheer luck have transformed drug development. In our conversation, Hager discusses the astounding number of prescriptions Americans take, why the profit motive is dangerous for drug development, and the unexpected historical twists that have changed medicine, often for the better.

L’Estaque, a fishing village on the French coast of the Mediterranean, was a place that Cézanne visited often in the 1870s and 1880s. Why, amongst more picturesque features such as blue sea and a pretty village of ochre stone and red tiles, did the artist address such a difficult and unappealing prospect as this? A viaduct is only an overland passage between more dramatic features – under mountains or cliffs, through a valley or over a river far below – and this bridge for the railway track has none of the elegantly classical appeal of Corot’s Roman arches. Indeed, the viaduct is barely noticeable: it sits in the lowest band of the painting, the main horizontal of the composition. Perhaps it was, as always, simply because he could. The nature of beauty itself was changing as the century continued, from gentle to hard, from simple, lush and historic to complex, spare and modern. For Cézanne, eternal verities became mutable, and reality was filled with infinite possibilities. During February and March 1882 Pierre-Auguste Renoir, a much more luscious painter than the austere Cézanne, paid a visit to his contemporary at l’Estaque while en route from Italy to Paris. They painted the same scene, but the two resulting landscapes could not differ more, considering they were executed side by side.1 Johnson describes Cézanne’s strategies on the canvas: The flatness of the effect, accentuated by repetition of the receding and advancing color and tone values may, on first impression, bear some resemblance to tapestry design; but this quality is denied by the special depth and volume and solidity of the forms which Cézanne achieves … He has piled the planes up vertically and has silhouetted distant hills instead of allowing them to dissolve in air and space.2 The contest between fact and fiction, which underlies landscape painting in the nineteenth century, is seen plainly here, in the choices that Cézanne makes. He understands that the horizontal railway lines below the cliffs undermine the vertical and diagonal slopes of the mountains. The dizzying stacks of rock, made of parallel hatched strokes of paint, communicate insecurity rather than the permanence of stone and mountains. The close-up, frontal encounter reinforces the dominance of the artist’s view. It is the implied struggle between doubt and certainty that makes Cézanne so modern.
