This episode features multi-disciplinary artist Vera Klute. Growing up in a small village close to Dortmund in North Rhine Westphalia, Vera gives an insight to some of the area's traditions like the three day parading at the yearly Schützenfest and having antlers or stuffed ducks hanging on the walls of your home. For Vera you don't need a degree to appreciate art, to decide whether you like something or not people should just go with their instinct. In the two person exhibition The Loneliness of Being German, Vera together with Thomas Brezig interrogates the issue of identity. Vera is part of the Women on Walls project, commissioned to create a bust of Dr Rosalind Franklin for the Long Room in Trinity College Dublin's old library. She is the proud artist of the iconic Luke Kelly Statue at the Docklands in Dublin 1, an associate member of the Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts, enjoys the flatness of Tudor portraits and is dying to go back to Rome to enjoy the city's marble statues and fountains. Vera's signature dish is the Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte with cherries from Super Value. She spent 20 years in Dublin and is now home in County Kilkenny where she lives with her family.

This is an ingeniously told story, narrated by an actual book, a novel by the Austrian writer Joseph Roth, offering an account of its picaresque travels to America and back to Europe, while in the background we learn of the life of Joseph Roth himself and the dark times he lived in.” Colm Tóibín, Laureate for Irish Fiction 2022-2024

Spoiler alerts, Marx, and Alex Pheby's Mordew, plus we talk to Hugo Hamilton about his latest work, a novel narrated by another novel: "The Pages."

Hugo Hamilton was our guest on this special edition of Hiberno Goethe. To celebrate 60 years of the Goethe-Institut Irland we were delighted to be joined by Hugo with a live audience in the Goethe Institute library. Hugo first tells us about Speckled People, and about his upbringing, his mother who came here as an au pair, and met and married his father, an ardent Irish language revivalist. We hear about how growing up through Irish and German in Glasthule: “We were called Nazis and put on trial…the only places where I didn't feel that were in Germany where the German past never came up and it was never mentioned in the Gaeltacht in Connemara, I felt very comfortable there and then we came back to Dublin and we were called Nazis again.” He tells how this made him feel like an outsider, and how his earlier books, like Headbanger, are about outsiders. He often felt like this, reading unusual Austrian novels by Thomas Bernhardt which weren't really a good conversation piece at Irish parties in the 1970s. Of course he talks about Heinrich Böll's Irish Journal and the similarities between Böll's Irish experience and his own mother's, experiencing Ireland as post-war Rhineland Catholics. We hear about artist Joseph Beuys' work in the North of Ireland during the troubles and Hamilton's new book The Pages about the life of Joseph Roth, which he reads from.

In this episode Ciarán chats to his former lecturer and Professor of Modern Languages Dr. Arnd Witte. We first hear about Arnd's origins in Hiddigwardermoor where the one-teacher school had no running water. The conversation turns to the origin of Arnd's love of the English language coming not from literature but from Jim Morrison and the Rolling Stones. Arnd lectured in Nigeria, where he met his wife. He saw a play there by Wole Soyinka, the first black African Nobel prize winner, and Soyinka himself was there. He is interested that some African commentators believe that the English language is a cultural time bomb in Africa, with it marginalising local languages and even pushing them to extinction. Arnd talks about his children being part Nigerian, part German, and part Irish and having a fluid cultural identity. The importance that language plays in cultural understanding and identity is a key theme in Arnd's research. Ciarán and Arnd chat about the Catholic Church's influence in Saint Patrick's College, Maynooth when they were there together in the early 1990s, how Arnd replaced a lecturer from the DDR. Reflecting on his many years working at 3rd level he laments changes that have brought about a type of commodification of education. Arnt reads from Hugo Hamilton and Georg Trakl.

We ease our way back into breakfast book chat after our summer intermission with an episode on what we read ourselves during the summer. Enda chooses Lucia Berlin's A Manual for Cleaning Women, while Peter selects Deer on the High Hills: Selected Poems by Iain Crichton Smith, edited by John Greening. We also give a shout out to this weekend's Fingal Poetry Festival and to forthcoming and recently published books such as Hugo Hamilton's The Pagesand Colm Tóibín's The Magician.No Toaster Challenge this morning as we're getting the toaster fixed, but it will be back in operation next week. Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/books4breakfast)

Nació en Perú, vivió de chico en México, hace años que vive en España. El escritor peruano Santiago Roncagliolo es desde hace años uno de los narradores latinoamericanos más importantes de su generación tanto por su talento como por la llegada de sus libros a las grandes audiencias. Celebrado por novelas como Pudor o Abril Rojo y por crónicas periodísticas como La cuarta espada, sobre Sendero Luminoso, entre otras publicaciones- en su nueva novela vuelve a basarse en hechos reales, esta vez para construir una ficción sobre los pactos de silencio que se suceden alrededor de la manipulación y la pedofilia en comunidades religiosas, que terminan protegiendo a los depredadores. Publicada por Seix Barral, Planeta, Y líbranos del mal, toma forma a partir de un caso real de abusos físicos y psicológicos en el marco de una orden laica católica a la que asistían adolescentes y muchachos de la clase alta y que conmocionó a Lima. En esta historia, Jimmy, hijo de Sebastián, un peruano radicado en Estados Unidos y administrador de una congregación católica en Brooklyn, debe volver al Perú a cuidar a su abuela enferma. Una vez allí, se encontrará con el oscuro pasado de su padre.

La mitología nórdica tiene pocos episodios que relacionen de manera directa a los habitantes de Midgard con los dioses, uno de ellos es el caso de Gylfi, el cuál era un rey nórdico, que ansioso por obtener la sabiduría, termino cediendo gran parte de su territorio a la diosa Gefjun, la diosa del arado y que presuntamente también estaba relacionada con la virginidad, continuando con su búsqueda de la sabiduría el rey llego a estar en el mismito Asgard, donde Odín, el padre de todos los dioses respondió muchas de sus preguntas, lo que terminó por convencer al rey de la necesidad de adorar a los Aesir como dioses. En este episodio presentó una revisión de esta historia, de una manera más moderna, tratando de mantener las lecciones tras de si.La web del podcast: https://www.mitosymas.com/ Síguenos en las redes sociales:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/demitosymas/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/mitosYmas/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mitosymas/ Portada del episodio: Odín saluda a Gylfi pintura de Hugo Hamilton publicada en 1830.

In Hugo Hamilton’s fictional memoir, Dublin Palms, he explores themes of home and displacement and describes the difficulty of growing up in a multi-lingual home. Here he discusses those themes and describes the process of writing fictional memoir, which he says is like creating a ‘blurry self-portrait’. He also reads from Dublin Palms and talks about how he writes now, after so many years of experience and success. 

Britannian ero EU:sta, brexit, herättää irlantilaisissa monia synkkiä muistoja ja pelkoja. -Kaikkein suurin pelkomme Irlannissa on palaaminen entiseen tilanteeseen, missä raja halkaisee Irlannin ja viha Britanniaa vastaan pääsee taas valloilleen, sanoo uuden Moniääninen Eurooppa-ohjelman vieras, irlantilainen kirjailija Hugo Hamilton. Hugo Hamilton (s.1953) kuuluu Irlannin nykykirjallisuuden merkittävimpiin prosaisteihin.Hän on syntynyt Dublinissa jyrkän patrioottisen irlantilaisen isän ja saksalaisen äidin poikana. Teoksissaan hän on tutkinut eurooppalaisen ja kansallisen identiteetin kysymyksiä. Hugo Hamilton näkee paljon yhtäläisyyksiä Suomen ja Irlannin välillä. - Sekä Irlannilla, että Suomella on kokemuksensa sortajasta. Molemmat ovat kokeneet omaan vapauteensa kohdistuvan uhkan. Suomalaisten ja irlantilaisten kokemukset sorrosta ja imperiumin alla elämisestä tekee meille erityisen luontevaksi olla yhdessä osana Euroopan integraatiota, korostaa Hugo Hamilton. Ohjelmasarjan tuottajana toimiii Jorma Mattila. Hän on myös toimittanut Dublinissa sarjan tämänkertaisen jakson. Kuvassa: Irlantilainen kirjailija Hugo Hamilton Kuva: Jorma Mattila

‘Translating Ireland’ brings together three leading Irish novelists to share their experiences of being translated, read excerpts from their work, and to talk about the translations that have most inspired them. In novels like A Long, Long Way (Ein Langer, Langer Weg in German, trans. Hans-Christian Oeser), Sebastian Barry has shone a light into the dark corners of Irish life, focusing on the ordinary people whose lives are neglected, forgotten or written out of history. Booker Prize-winner Anne Enright is celebrated for her capacity to explore serious issues with compassion and wry humour in works like The Forgotten Waltz (La Valse Oubliée in French, trans. Isabelle Reinharez). Hugo Hamilton is the bestselling author of seven novels and two memoirs, including The Speckled People (Sproetenkoppen in Dutch, trans. Miebeth Van Horn), a memoir of his German-Irish childhood that won a clutch of European awards.

Author Hugo Hamilton talks about his "strange life in translation" and reads from his novels ‘The Speckled People’, ‘The Sailor in the Wardrobe’ and 'Hand in the Fire', before answering questions from the audience. Recorded at the Central Library on 17 November 2010, as part of the series 'In Other Words . . .Irish Literature in Translation in Your Library'. Hugo Hamilton is a writer of German-Irish descent and a member of Aosdána. He is the winner of the prestigious Rooney Prize for Irish Literature. Hamilton’s memoirs, The Speckled People (2003) and The Sailor in the Wardrobe (2006), have become bestsellers and have fascinated readers all over the world. The Speckled People won the prestigious Prix Femina Étranger in France, as well as the Berto prize in Italy and has been translated into 15 languages to date. His latest novel, Hand in the Fire, was published this year by Fourth Estate. Hugo’s works have been translated into Dutch, French, Italian, German, Romanian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Greek, Serbian, Norwegian and Danish.

Comparisons are invidious, but Hugo Hamilton is clearly a successor to the late Frank McCourt, author of the celebrated “Angela’s Ashes,” in the tradition of Irish memoir.  Hamilton read from his book, “The Speckled People,” as part of the PEN World Voices Festival on May 3. The event was held at Ireland House, a handsome mews building off Washington Square Park that is home to NYU’s Irish studies department. Hamilton was introduced by John Waters, head of the university’s Irish literature program. In the competitive world of memoir writing, a bizarre childhood is almost de rigueur. But Hamilton’s was even more bizarre than most. His father was an ardent Irish nationalist, married to a German woman. In protest against what he viewed as the British “occupation” of his country, he refused to allow any English to be spoken in his home.  As a result, Hamilton grew up as a virtual émigré in his own country, speaking primarily Celtic and German. The two languages also came to delineate the very different temperaments of his parents — an angry, pessimistic father and a nurturing mother with a sense of humor. To further complicate matters, Hamilton and his siblings still had to go to the local school in his English-speaking community, so that life was “a daily form of emigration.” As if to emphasize the polyglot nature of the PEN festival, the evening at Ireland House included a discussion between Hamilton and the Basque philosopher Fernando Savater, who spoke through a translator. Click on the link above to hear Hugo Hamilton comment on and read from “The Speckled People.”  Bon Mots Hamilton on not speaking English at home: "The feeling we had was that we weren’t in the right country somehow." Hamilton on writing memoirs: "As a child, you collect very strong memories. As an adult, you go back and reclaim your own story." Hamilton, recalling what his mother said about baking and life: "If you bake a cake in anger, it will taste of nothing."
