Radio Savannah's Eindejaarsspecial 2022 Radio Savannah sluit het jaar af met boeken, boeken en nog eens boeken. We bespreken de boeken die dit jaar een lichtje bij ons deden ontsteken en geven tips voor de koude wintermaanden. We horen graag ook jullie boekentips! Laat ons weten welk boek jou in vuur en vlam zet en win een half jaar lidmaatschap op Savannah Surprise, ons maandelijkse boekenabonnement. Je kunt je boekentip mailen via info@savannahbay.nl of doorgeven via onze socials: Instagram, Twitter en Facebook. Light A Fire, Share A Story 2022 Het is weer december, tijd voor warme chocomelk, lichtjes en lampjes en lekker lezen. Deze maand hebben we een paar mooie evenementen voor je in petto en uiteraard hebben we ook voor deze decembermaand de mooiste boeken voor je uitgezocht. Om kado te geven aan jezelf of een ander: Light A Fire, Share A Story! We hebben twaalf hartverwarmende titels uitgezocht om jezelf of een ander kado te doen deze maand. Deze vind je hier in de webshop. Ook dit jaar hebben onze vrijwilligers ervoor gezorgd dat de winkel bleef draaien. Ons team is inmiddels uitgebreid met veel nieuwe gezichten. Speciaal voor jullie zocht iedereen hun vurigste titel voor je uit. Alle leestips hebben we verzameld in onze webshop. De boekentips van Lola en Suzanne Charing Cross Road 84 van Helene Hanff Een vriendschap in brieven tussen Helene Hanff uit New York en de medewerkers van Marks & Co, een antiquarische boekhandel op Charing Cross Road 84 in Londen. In de late jaren '50 van de twintigste eeuw leest Helene een advertentie waarin staat dat de Londense boekhandel Marks & Co gespecialiseerd is in boeken die niet meer in druk zijn. Alles wat zij zou willen hebben is in New York absoluut niet te krijgen. Ze schrijft een brief, nietsvermoedend dat deze eerste paar regels het begin zijn van een jarenlange correspondentie. Vind het boek hier in de webshop. Living Rooms van Sam Johnson-Schlee In this radical and elegiac essay, Sam Johnson-Schlee invites readers to consider the dreams and fantasies we have about our homes, and their underlying reality. Living Rooms blends history, theory, and memoir as it moves between the colonial trade in house plants, Proustian reminiscence, and razor-sharp critique of rentier capitalism. Johnson-Schlee suggests that, by looking closely at the places where we live, we can confront political realities that extend out into the world. In the way we furnish our homes, might we be unconsciously imagining a different kind of life? In the way we arrange our sofas, picture frames, and our pot plants, are we dreaming of a better world? And what would it mean to reject the notion that a house should be a commodity, and to embrace the idea of a truly living room? Bestel het boek via ons bestelformulier. Vincent van Barbara Stok Het bewogen leven van Vincent van Gogh blijft een onuitputtelijke inspiratiebron. Stripmaker Barbara Stok neemt in dit verhaal de lezer mee naar de korte, intense periode die de schilder in Zuid-Frankrijk doorbrengt. Vincent droomt ervan in Arles een kunstenaarshuis te stichten voor zichzelf en zijn artistieke vrienden. Maar door aanvallen waarin hij volledig in de war is, uitmondend in het beruchte oorincident, valt die droom in duigen. Zijn broer Theo blijft hem onvoorwaardelijk steunen. Van Gogh was een kunstenaar vol hartstocht voor zijn vak. Zijn ideeën over succes, tegenslag en een zinvol leven vormen een interessant tegenwicht in onze tijd van individualisme, maakbaarheid en economisch denken. Zo maakt Stok van de belevenissen van deze 19de-eeuwse schilder weer een actueel verhaal. Bestel dit boek via ons bestelformulier. In het Droomhuis van Carmen Maria Machado Carmen ontmoet haar op een doordeweekse avond, tijdens een etentje met een wederzijdse vriendin in een klein restaurant. De vrouw komt net van de sportschool en is bezweet. Haar witblonde haar zit in een paardenstaart.

En el noveno podcast del Club de Lectura Bookake charlamos con Iratxe González Aspiazu sobre "84, Charing Cross Road", famosísima novela epistolar compuesta por la correspondencia real que, durante 20 años, Helene Hanff mantuvo con un librero de Londres, Frank Doel. ¿Qué historia(s) se intuye(n) en los huecos que dejan todas esas cartas? ¿Podemos entrever el retrato de la realidad en un puñado de misivas? ¿Dónde empieza y acaba la ficción?
Cerramos La Ventana y abrimos La Persiana Americana para ver que hay al otro lado del charco con Renato Cisneros y Cristian Alarcón para profundizar en Latinoamérica. Entrevistamos a Lucía González, miembro de la Comisión de la Verdad de Colombia. Laura Piñero presenta su nueva sección, Carta-grafías. Hoy en La Ventana, Helene Hanff, una escritora precaria que triunfó gracias a unas cartas.
Hanff protagoniza el primer capítulo de Cartagrafías con una correspondencia que duró 20 años y se convirtió en el libro "84, Charing Cross Road"
1949 – Helene Hanff, escribe la primera carta desde NY a Marks & Co, una librería para buscar títulos perdidos, y a esa dificultad, se agregaba que cuidaba los pocos dólares con los que podía comprar libros. Pasan dos meses de cartas entre Hanff y uno de los dependientes de la librería que firma FPD. A él le escribe el 8 de diciembre. En la voz, Bárbara Espejo.
Bea Álvarez nació en un lugar de la Mancha de cuyo nombre sí quiere acordarse hace ya casi 43 primaveras. Le encanta cumplir años y los gatos y sueña con vivir en el campo en un futuro no muy lejano. El primer libro que leyó fue "Miguel Strogoff" de Julio Verne con seis o siete años, era un libro ilustrado que le regaló su abuelo, y luego llegaron las "Leyendas de Bécquer", "La Historia Interminable" de Michael Ende, "La Regenta de Clarín" y todo lo que su tía Julita le dejaba de Stephen King. Tiene un gato negro que se llama Víctor por Víctor Frankenstein aunque podría ser Church como el de Cementerio de Animales.... Estudió filología hispánica aunque ha trabajado en todo lo que le ha ido saliendo. También escribe y cree que lo mejor que se le da son los cuentos y los relatos. Tiene una newsletter donde cada domingo publica todo aquello que le pasa o le cuentan. El año pasado publicó su primer libro “La Malcontenta y otros racconti de iniciación” con la editorial Desayuno con libros.

Hay un lugar en el que una vez al año se produce algo mágico: todos los universos posibles se reúnen a la sombra de los árboles. Es la Feria del libro de Madrid y su directora, la primera en 80 años, visita Nota al pie. Compartimos con Eva Orúe su pasión lectora, sus librerías adoradas y añoradas y su deseo de que el Retiro no sea como Las Vegas: lo que pasa en la Feria no se queda en la Feria. Celebramos el talento y el valor de libreras ya legendarias como Sylvia Beach o Frances Steloff. Viajamos a Shakespeare & Co., a Gotham Book Mart o al 84 de Charing Cross Road. Porque como dice el cartel de una de nuestras librerías de ficción: “Tenemos eso que usted busca, aunque usted no sepa aún cuanto lo necesita”. Te proponemos cinco lecturas muy librescas: La librera de París de Kerri Maher, Librerías de Jorge Carrión, 84, Charing Cross Road de Helene Hanff, La librería encantada de Christopher Morley y La librería y los genios de Frances Steloff.
It is wonderful to meet Angela Garry who is an author in her own right and as a biographer of Helene Hanff. The Book Academy members had read 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff and although Helene is not with us any longer were delighted to find Angela had set up a facebook group dedicated to Helene and is in the process of writing her biography. This was the first book to be reviewed by The Book Academy Angela became interested in Helene Hanff's writing when she was university and joined the Cinema Society. One of the films shown was 84, Charing Cross Road which had been released the year before, This was back in 1988, and Angela says, “I loved the film and at the end of the film, I sat and watched the credits as you do, to realise it was based on the book by her Helene Hanff, she's was real person. And I rushed out and bought the book. This book was coupled with the book of the Duchess of Bloomsbury Street in one small volume. The latter is Helene's diary of traveling to London, on the strength of publishing 84. And then I returned to the bookshop another day and found more of her books and just started buying whatever I could of her six books for adults. This was the start of my relationship with this author – as a reader.” Angela went on to write to Helene and then met her in New York.In this podcast Angela reveals more about the visit and her continual interest in Helene Hanff's legacy. https://www.angelagarry.com/helenehanffScattered Leaves by Angela Garry about the life of Helene Hanff will be published later in 2022. Angela's own books are worth considering too. I would like to quote from her short story collection “Twisted Tales” In it Angela says, “Being a writer isn't something you just do. It's something you are, it comes from within” Later for my birthday in April, my daughter Abbirose and I visited the site of 84 Charing Cross Road (now a MacDonalds) and the plaque is there.

Today I'm thrilled to be joined by Stephen Pelton, artistic director of the Stephen Pelton Dance Studio in London, England. Stephen is, by his own admission, obsessed with Virgina Woolf, and today we talk about “Mrs. Dalloway” through the eyes of a dancer. He tells me how he uses literature in his choreography, and how Woolf is a surprisingly physical artist. I also got a tour of his Woolf-filled bookshelves!

“‘You will find,’ he explained, ‘that when the kings are bullies who believe in force, the people are bullies too. If I don't stand for law, I won't have law among my people.’” In this episode Rachel and Phoebe discuss the figure of King Arthur in Malory’s Le Morte Darthur, the biblical echoes of his kingship, his attempt to create a just society and his failure to embody Christ-like ideals. We also discuss the new Catholic magazine, Leaven, launched by friend of the show, Greg Daly. It’s a digital magazine which showcases a coherently and distinctly Irish Catholic vision, and explores a mix of topics from science to literature, pop culture to social justice, history to philosophy and beyond. It’s first edition features articles and interviews with a range of established and new Catholic writers, including an article by Rachel on the theme of Pentecost in Arthurian myth, which forms a backdrop to this podcast episode.

She’s co-written two books on stand up comedy and her debut feature film Say my Name was released in 2019. Deborah’s book choices are: ** Underfoot in Show Business by Helene Hanff ** The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)** Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison ** Lullaby Beach by Stella Duffy** Ghosts by Dolly Alderton Every week, join journalist and author Yomi Agedoke, and inspirational guests, including Elizabeth Day, Sara Pascoe and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie as they celebrate the best books written by women.

In this episode, hosts August and Kendra discuss Fitzgerald’s famous novel, The Great Gatsby. This is one of August’s favorite books, but Kendra isn’t as wild about it, so there is definitely a healthy dose of both raving (August) and ranting (Kendra). This episode is also full of spoilers—so please only listen if you are okay with knowing everything that happens in this book. Books Mentioned in the Episode: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (1925) 84 Charring Cross Road by Helene Hanff (1970) Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers (2021) Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler (2013)
A special thank you to STEEEEEELLLLLLLLAAAAAAAA for joining us on this episode. 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff (1970) vs A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams (1947).
Today’s book discussion on The Literary Life podcast centers around the book 84, Charing Cross Road. Angelina Stanford, Cindy Rollins and Thomas Banks share their first experiences reading this book of letters between Helene Hanff and Frank Doel. Cindy talks about her deep identification with Helene the first time she read 84, Charing Cross Road and how much she dreamed of going to England. Angelina and Thomas talk about the characteristics of Helene as a reader and as a person seeking self-education. Come back again next week for a special guest episode look at the literary life of Charlotte Mason! After that, we dig into George Eliot’s Silas Marner. Commonplace Quotes: Our Japanese soldiers who came back from overseas were a pitiful sight. They looked thin, weak, and exhausted. And some of them were invalids, drained of color and borne on stretchers. But among the returning soldiers there was one company of cheerful men. They were always singing, even difficult pieces in several parts and they sang very well. When they disembarked at Yokosuka the people who came to greet them were astonished. Everyone asked if they had received extra rations, since they seemed so happy. These men had had no extra rations, but had practiced choral singing throughout the Burma campaign. Their captain, a young musician fresh from music school, had enthusiastically taught his soldiers how to sing. It was singing that kept up their morale through boredom or hardship and that bound them together in friendship and discipline during the long war years. Without it, they would never have come home in remarkable high spirits. Michio Takeyama Men are apt to prefer a prosperous error before an afflicted truth. Jeremy Taylor Secondhand booksellers are the most friendly and most eccentric of all the characters I have known. If I had not been a writer, theirs would have been the profession I would most happily have chosen. Graham Greene Reading in Wartime by Edwin Muir Boswell by my bed, Tolstoy on my table; Thought the world has bled For four and a half years, And wives’ and mothers’ tears Collected would be able To water a little field Untouched by anger and blood, A penitential yield Somewhere in the world; Though in each latitude Armies like forest fall, The iniquitous and the good Head over heels hurled, And confusion over all: Boswell’s turbulent friend And his deafening verbal strife, Ivan Ilych’s death Tell me more about life, The meaning and the end Of our familiar breath, Both being personal, Than all the carnage can, Retrieve the shape of man, Lost and anonymous, Tell me wherever I look That not one soul can die Of this or any clan Who is not one of us And has a personal tie Perhaps to someone now Searching an ancient book, Folk-tale or country song In many and many a tongue, To find the original face, The individual soul, The eye, the lip, the brow For ever gone from their place, And gather an image whole.

Meredith and Kaytee are chatting this week with a very special guest! She is the person that has been MOST requested as a guest on our show, and she’s here! Anne Bogel, creator of Modern Mrs. Darcy and What Should I Read Next, and general, all-around amazing lady, is chatting with us today and we couldn’t be more excited. You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from all three of us: two are very similar in that they involve bookish friendships, and one is a library-related book demerit (a la Gretchen Rubin on the Happier podcast). Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. Two titles from each host, and we are bringing a wide range of books, from romance to thrillers, to interesting writing styles, to weirdo books. It’s all here! We’ve got an update for you on our Slow But Steady reads and what’s been happening in the past week, as well as a fun update from a listener. For our deep dive this week, we are chatting all things Anne Bogel. You’ll hear about the advice she would have given herself before Episode 1 of What Should I Read Next (now that she’s 200+ episodes in), you’ll hear about her new book coming out next year, and a bit of behind the scenes talk about giving book recs on the fly. Finally, this week, we are Pressing Books into Your Hands. And we know you cannot wait to see what Anne chose as her press! We’ve got a novella for every reader who loves books about books, the beginning of a new (old) mystery series, and a summer read that we’ve gushed about in previous episodes. As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode. If you’d like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don’t scroll down! . . . . . 1:12 - What Should I Read Next podcast 1:15 - One Great Book podcast 2:16 - 200th Episode of What Should I Read Next 9:06 - The Whisper Man by Alex North 13:35 - The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams 15:32 - Hot Dudes Reading on Instagram 15:45 - The Chain by Adrian McKinty 18:14 - Fierce Kingdom by Gin Phillips 19:00 - Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane 19:25 - The Girl Before by JP Delaney 19:36 - Lock Every Door by Riley Sager 21:50 - One Day by David Nicholls 25:36 - Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata 27:52 - A Better Man by Louise Penny 32:08 - A Trick of the Light by Louise Penny 33:03 - Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry 33:32 - North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell 33:43 - On Writing by Stephen King 34:46 - Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J.

Gail, Hazel and host Philippa dig into the subject of garden writing with the journalist and social historian Ursula Buchan and Matt Collins, nature writer and Head Gardener at London’s Garden Museum. The conversation meanders convivially in the usual Slightly Foxed manner, via daredevil plant-hunters, early wild gardening advocates such as Gertrude Jekyll, William Robinson and Vita Sackville-West, and the passing passions and fashions of garden design, with a peek over the hedge at Christopher Lloyd’s Great Dixter along the way. And there’s the usual round-up of the latest bookish harvest from the Slightly Foxed office and plenty of recommendations for reading off the beaten track too.

While Kaytee vacations this week, Meredith holds down the podcast fort with a special guest co-host. Mary Heim is an online bookish friend of both of us (and I can freely admit that I am SO jealous she got to record with Mary and I didn’t). You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of the hosts: a sweet pregnancy reading moment, and bonding over husbands who read. Next, the ladies discuss what they are currently reading, and this week includes a thousand books that you’ll want to reach for ASAP. I had a hard time restraining myself. In Mary’s deep dive, we get to learn about her reading life. Childhood reads to the way her adult reading life developed. It’s a walk down memory lane for your childhood reading memories. I can almost guarantee you’ll love it. As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands: As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode.

En este primer capítulo hablaremos de escritoras, empezando por la autora de ciencia ficción y fantasía Úrsula K.

Además, comentaremos otros libros recomendables como "Relojes de Sangre" de Leni Zumas, "Las quince primeras vidas de Harry August" de Claire North, "84, Charing Cross Road" de Helene Hanff, "Entre extraños" de Jo Walton, "Distópicas", una antología de autoras españolas de ciencia ficción y "Ácido sulfúrico" de Amélie Nothomb.Si os apetece que hable de algún libro concreto podéis enviarme vuestras sugerencias a través de los comentarios de esta entrada y, si os habéis quedado con ganas de más recomendaciones, podéis encontrar mis sugerencias para #LeoAutorasOctubre en mi blog personal o en mi cuenta de Twitter.Espero que disfrutéis del podcast y, recordad, nos encontraremos en el lugar donde no hay oscuridad.Para cualquier duda o comentario, las formas de contactar conmigo son a través de Twitter (https://twitter.com/greenpeeptoes) o en mi blog (https://sarab.es)También espero tus comentarios en https://emilcar.fm/habitacion101 donde podrás encontrar los enlaces de este episodio.

Enlace al libro: https://amzn.to/2krx6cC En octubre de 1949, Helene Hanff, una joven escritora desconocida, envía una carta desde Nueva York a Marks & Company, la librería situada en el 84 de Charing Cross Road, en Londres. Apasionada, maniática, extravagante y a menudo sin blanca, la señorita Hanff le reclama al librero Frank Doel volúmenes poco menos que inencontrables que apaciguarán su insaciable sed de descubrimientos. Veinte años más tarde, continúan escribiéndose, y la familiaridad se ha convertido en una intimidad casi amorosa. Esta correspondencia excéntrica y llena de encanto es una pequeña joya que evoca, con infinita delicadeza, el lugar que ocupan en nuestra vida los libros... y las librerías Audios: -Intro: Ability (Borrtex) -Episodio: Like a Dream (Mattia Vlad Morleo)

The show was heard on various networks between 1939 and 1948 (except for the 1941-1942 season, when it was off the air). Most of its sponsors still exist, except for Kolynos toothpaste. Even on radio Marion Shockley (1911-1981) was the first actress to portray Nikki Porter , Ellery's secretary and low-key love interest. In the "Gum-Chewing Millionaire" she's a blonde professional typist who gets asked to work on Ellery's manuscripts. She then applies for the job of personal secretary. On radio, The Adventures of Ellery Queen was heard on all three networks from 1939 to 1948. During the 1970s, syndicated radio fillers, Ellery Queen's Minute Mysteries, began with an announcer saying, "This is Ellery Queen..." and would go on to describe a case in one minute. The radio station would then encourage callers to try to solve the mystery and win a sponsor's prize. Once they got a winner, the solution part of the spot would be played as confirmation. Helene Hanff, best-known for her book 84 Charing Cross Road, was a scripter for the television series version of The Adventures of Ellery Queen (1950-52), which began on the DuMont Television Network but soon moved to ABC. Shortly after the series began, Lee Hart, who played Queen, died and was replaced in the lead role by Lee Bowman. The series returned to DuMont in 1954 with Hugh Marlowe in the title role. George Nader then played Queen in The Further Adventures of Ellery Queen (1958-59), but he was replaced with Lee Philips in the final episodes. Peter Lawford starred in the television movie Ellery Queen: Don't Look Behind You (1971). The 1975 television movie Ellery Queen led into the 1975-76 television series starring Jim Hutton in the title role (with David Wayne as his widowed father). Each episode would end with Queen breaking the fourth wall to go over the facts of the case and invite the audience to solve the mystery on their own. The cousins, under their collective pseudonym, were given the Grand Master Award for achievements in the field of the mystery story by the Mystery Writers of America in 1961. Ellery Queen
