Por refrescarte la memoria: desde octubre de 2022 acudo a tres clubes de lectura:- Club de Lectura Ursula de ciencia ficción, fantasía y terror, en la Librería Casa tomada- Club de Lectura en inglés, de la Biblioteca Provincial de Cádiz- Club de Lectura en inglés en Olivar de QuintosA comienzos de enero, decidí hacer algunos cambios: 188 - ¿Qué cambios en mis hábitos de lectura he comenzado en enero 2025? https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/al-daily-podcast/episodes/188---Qu-cambios-en-mis-hbitos-de-lectura-he-comenzado-en-enero-2025-e2u5dse/a-abokgcfPor cierto, que si quieres escuchar mi balance de la temporada 2023/2024 puedes encontrarlo en este episodio: 56 - ¿Qué balance hago de la temporada 2023/2024 de clubes de lectura? https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/al-daily-podcast/episodes/56---Qu-balance-hago-de-la-temporada-20232024-de-clubes-de-lectura-e2l148g/a-abc9kecEn lo que ha sido 2024/2025:- El Club al que menos he faltado es el de Casa Tomada (8 de 9), seguido del de la Biblioteca de Cádiz (4 de 9), mientras que a Olivar de Quintos he ido a 3 de 8.- De los libros leídos, 8 estaban escritos por mujeres, 6 por hombres y un libro por un autore no binario. El libro que he abandonado en inglés estaba escrito a cuatro manos por un autor y una autora.- La mayoría de los libros en inglés no me han entusiasmado: solo destacaría “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” y “And then there were none”. Da la coincidencia de que ambos los había leído previamente en español. “Life of Pi” me dejó el corazón rotito.- Del Club Ursula los que más me gustaron fueron: “La mano izquierda de la oscuridad”, de Ursula K. Le Guin, “Lágrimas en la lluvia”, de Rosa Montero y Las Ciudades invisibles, de Italo Calvino, que ya he leído varias veces.De cara a la temporada 2025/2026- Seguiré priorizando el Club Ursula y el de la Biblioteca de Cádiz frente al de Olivar de Quintos- En el primer trimestre del Club Ursula leeremos: “Extraño”, de Miguel Ángel García Argüez (Libros de la Herida), “El cielo de la Selva”, de Elaine Vilar Madruga (Lava) y “La Llave de los Misterios” de Jesús Relinque (Kaizen)- En la Biblioteca de Cádiz, también tenemos ya toda la programación del curso, pero te digo los primeros: “The age of innocence”, de Edith Warton; “It ends with us”, Colleen Hoover y “The day of the Jackal”, de Frederick Forsyth.- Y un notición

Un uomo che vive tutta la sua vita sugli alberi. Un cavaliere invisibile, ma nobile nell'animo. Un visconte in cerca della propria integrità. Scopriamo insieme i tre romanzi della trilogia "I nostri antenati" di Italo Calvino.

Podobno pravljico, transilvansko, sva si ogledala nedavno,. Zaplet v tej pravljici je drugačen. V njej nastopajo princi, v oni kmečki fantje. Krivično bi bilo, če bi le eden od princev dobil kraljično za ženo in pravljica se konča tako, da so prav vsi zadovoljni in da se ni bilo treba nikomur tepsti. Prisluhni.Vir: Italijanske pravljice, Italo Calvino, izbrala, prevedla in spremno besedo napisala Tea Stoka, verze prevedla Marija Javoršek, Mladinska knjiga, Ljubljana 1997, bere Nataša Holy

Littérature européenne, toujours ! L'édition 2025 de l'EUPL, prix de littérature de l'UE, a révélé ses mentions spéciales et sa lauréate le 16 mai 2025, à l'occasion de la foire du livre de Prague. La lauréate est italienne, elle s'appelle Nicoletta Verna et exerce la double casquette d'autrice et d'éditrice pour la maison Giunti, l'un des plus important groupes éditoriaux italiens. Avant de remporter l'EUPL, Nicoletta a écrit un autre roman, Il valore affettivo , lauréat de plusieurs prix prestigieux en Italie. Il a également été récompensé par une mention spéciale du prix Italo Calvino, attribué, vous vous en douterez, à des textes écrits dans l'esprit expérimental  du grand fabuliste italien. Le roman lauréat de l'EUPL, I giorni di Vetro (que l'on peut traduire très rapidement par « le jour de verre »), est publié aux éditions Einaudi Stile Libero. Il raconte l'histoire de Redenta, femme née en 1924 dans une communauté superstitieuse qui la considère comme porte-malheur en raison de la polio qui la frappe . Elle survit à la polio et grandit dans une Italie en pleine montée du fascisme, marquée par l'assassinat de Matteotti. Sa vie est traversée par la violence du régime, de la guerre et de la domination masculine. Ce roman oscille entre Histoire avec un grand H et histoire personnelle, mettant en lumière la manière dont la première influence la seconde. Résistance féminine, violence politique et quête de liberté traversent ce roman que nous pourrions bien découvrir en français dès l'année prochaine, comme Nicoletta le révèle en fin d'entretien. Du côté des mentions spéciales, ce sont  L'Irlandaise Sheila Armstrong pour Falling Animals (Bloomsbury)  et le Belge Philippe Marczewski pour Quand Cécile (Seuil) qui ont été récompensés. Ecoutons maintenant Nicoletta Verna. https://euprizeliterature.eu/en/prize-author/nicoletta-verna/***Soutenez Bookalicious (et recevez de beaux goodies) par ici : https://fr.tipeee.com/bookalicious-1Ce podcast fait partie du label Podcut !

A rare club mix from the ever-evolving artist, with 90 minutes of shadowy, atmospheric pressure. Music's therapeutic value is often linked to relaxation—gongs, singing bowls and the like. Dense passages of foggy droning and eerie static aren't traditionally considered restorative, but Laurel Halo makes a pretty good case for it. The Detroit-born, Los Angeles-based musician's abstract, often improvised productions are heavy on sound design and emotional climax. Driven by atmosphere rather than rhythm, they push listeners to grapple with their innermost insecurities, fears and dreams. "I'm lucky my music has helped people through crises," Halo once told Discwoman. It's easy to see why. Since her 2010 debut King Felix, Halo has built a stunningly diverse catalogue of classically-informed records. A multi-instrumentalist—piano, violin, guitar, keys—her sharpest instrument is arrangement. Inspired by the surrealism of Italo Calvino and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, her releases, from Atlas to Behind The Green Door, unfold with slow-burning narrative and dense emotional weight. Her soundworlds are layered and labyrinthine—an architectonic space where self-reflection happens almost by force. Even in the club, the sought-after composer excels in immersion. Her sets extend the expressionist palette of her records, trading traditional rhythm for tension, space and surprise. It's no wonder she takes a genre-agnostic approach to the dance floor—her deep roots in freeform radio began at WCBN-FM in Michigan, followed by Berlin Community Radio, Rinse FM, and now a regular show on NTS. RA.992 stitches foggy ambient loops, propulsive techno, mutant percussion and heady left turns with care. Tracks from DJ Rush, Octave One and Eddie Fowlkes nod to her Midwestern heritage, balanced out by deeper, psychedelic fare from the likes of Polygonia and Cousin. It's the mark of an artist revealing both deep curiosity and a precise hand as a selector. Rare, indeed. @laurelhalo Find the full interview at ra.co/podcast/992

‘With Potocki,' Italo Calvino wrote, ‘we can understand that the fantastic is the exploration of the obscure zone where the most unrestrained passions of desire and the terrors of guilt mix together.' The gothic is a central seam of the fantastic, and in this episode Marina and Adam turn to two writers in that mode who lived over a hundred years apart but drew on the period of the Napoleonic wars: Jan Potocki and Isak Dinesen (the pseudonym of Karen Blixen). Potocki's The Manuscript Found in Saragossa (1805) is a complex sequence of tales within tales, written from the point of view of the early 19th century but describing events in Spain in the 18th century. It's a powerful commentary on the preoccupations of the Enlightenment and the repression of historical guilt. In Seven Gothic Tales (1934), Dinesen confronts some of the most unsettling aspect of sexual guilt and desire with psychological astuteness. Adam and Marina discuss the ways in which, in both works, the gothic was able to explore areas of human experience that other genres struggled to accommodate.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

30 marzo 2025 - Marco Belpoliti

W cyklu prezentowania książek z serii "Domy ze słów", będącego podcyklem cyklu "Literatura jak kłamstwo" (czyż to nie piękne?) prezentuję dzisiaj zbiór esejów - nie tylko literackich - Italo Calvino.

In questo episodio, Gianluca Gatta ci guida alla scoperta de "La giornata d'uno scrutatore", un racconto lungo di Italo Calvino, che esplora la profonda crisi ideologica e umana vissuta dal protagonista, Amerigo Ormea, durante il suo incarico elettorale nel seggio del Cottolengo di Torino. Un racconto che scuote certezze e apre interrogativi sull'identità, la dignità umana e il significato stesso del voto.

Lo Que Nos Cuenta El Cuento - Los hijos holgazanes, Italo Calvino by Radiotelevisión de Veracruz

Le romancier Italo Calvino est à la fête. Après "Cosimo", visible au Petit Théâtre de Lausanne jusquʹau 11 mai 2025, voici "Perchée", seconde adaptation de son roman "Le Baron Perché" à voir en plein air au pied dʹun arbre. Au micro de Thierry Sartoretti, Mathias Brossard et le Collectif CCC expliquent les racines de ce projet théâtral de haut-vol. A découvrir à Vandoeuvres, jusquʹau 18 mai 2025(dans le cadre de la programmation du Théâtre Amstramgram). Puis à Vidy-Lausanne, du 4 au 7 juin 2025. Et enfin à Annemasse, Château-Rouge du 29 septembre au 4 octobre 2025.

“Bir kentte hayran kaldığın şey onun yedi ya da yetmiş yedi harikası değil, senin ona sorduğun bir soruya verdiği yanıttır” diyor Italo Calvino, ‘Görünmez Kentler' kitabında. Modern mimaride sert çizgiler var, kareler, dikdörtgenler, uzun çizgiler, onları kesen kısa çizgiler, dikey ve yatay formlar… Cephelerde içeriyi göstermeyen camlar…

Silvana La Spina"Un rebus per Leonardo Sciascia"Marsilio Editoriwwwm.marsilioeditori.itNel settembre del 1985, a Leonardo Sciascia capitano due cose: la morte di Italo Calvino nell'Ospedale di Siena, e la morte di Aurelio Arriva, giudice, in casa sua. Una pistolettata: suicidio, dicono. Il giudice e lo scrittore siciliano, amici fin dall'infanzia, avevano litigato e non si parlavano da tempo. Qualcuno, in paese, continuava a dire per invidia; qualcun altro insinuava che l'invidia non c'entrava niente, era Sciascia che non avrebbe dovuto mettere l'amico in un libro – anzi, continuava quel qualcuno, Sciascia della Sicilia non avrebbe dovuto proprio parlare. Leonardo Sciascia, dal canto suo, sosteneva che le grandi amicizie, come i grandi amori, sono come le piante: a un certo punto si seccano, e nessuno può farci niente. Era successo con Guttuso, e forse stava succedendo pure con Vincenzo Consolo. Tuttavia, nonostante, in paese, gli inquirenti pensino che la morte del giudice Arriva sia dovuta a un suicidio e nonostante il tutto sia accaduto, come una disgrazia, un malaugurio, durante la festa della Madonna Bambina, Elena Arriva, la figlia del giudice morto, bella e bionda come certe madonne lombarde, si presenta a casa dello scrittore – la gloria, il vanto del luogo, l'uomo che passeggia a braccetto con Claudia Cardinale – per chiedergli di indagare sulla morte del padre. Elena non crede all'ipotesi del suicidio, e Sciascia è l'unico che di suo padre sa tutto. In una sarabanda di dicerie, malevolenze, lettere anonime che ricordano le righe minatorie di A ciascuno il suo, in un turbine di fatti di corna, disgrazie passate, presenti e future, donne vecchie e donne fatali, scrittori benevoli e altri invidiosi, cause perse e altre fatte perdere, un circolo di gentiluomini che non sempre lo sono e un pubblico ministero che torna a indagare là dove è stato bambino, Silvana La Spina, con una lingua pastosa e spinosa quanto un fico d'India, racconta Leonardo Sciascia e il suo mondo, facendone un investigatore acuto, curioso e pieno di pietà per le miserie degli uomini. Un romanzo avvincente e scuro.Silvana La Spina  è nata in Veneto da padre siciliano. Da molti anni vive tra Milano e Catania, e la Sicilia è alla base di quasi tutti i suoi romanzi. Tra gli ultimi, ricordiamo: La bambina pericolosa (Mondadori 2008), Un cadavere eccellente (Mondadori 2011), La continentale (Mondadori 2014), L'uomo che veniva da Messina (Giunti 2015), L'uomo del Viceré (Neri Pozza 2021), Angelica (Neri Pozza 2022), L'ombra dei Beati Paoli (Neri Pozza 2024).

I LeadEretici e le LeadEretiche sono persone un po' “strane”, ormai l'avete capito. Altrimenti dove sarebbe l'eresia se dicessero e facessero cose che fanno tutti?E il protagonista di questa puntata una cosa dal sapore eretico la fa: racconta fiabe. E voi direte: “ok, chi non ha mai raccontato una fiaba a un bambino?!”. Il punto è proprio questo, Claudio Tomaello le fiabe non le racconta ai bambini… ma agli adulti. E ne ha fatto un mestiere, che lo impegna moltissimo e lo porta ad attraversare l'Italia.“Le fiabe sono vere” scriveva Italo Calvino in Fiabe italiane. Offrono l'opportunità di scoprire nuove prospettive, approfondire la conoscenza di sé e lasciarsi ispirare da storie e insegnamenti che risuonano nel profondo.Grazie al potere delle parole e delle storie, strumenti millenari che parlano dell'essere umano e della sua evoluzione, Claudio – autore e narratore teatrale, che ama definirsi custode di Storie – mette la sua esperienza al servizio di chi desidera esplorare se stesso attraverso spettacoli teatrali, seminari e incontri. Ma in che senso racconta fiabe agli adulti? Perché e come lo fa? E che c'entra tutto questo con il lavoro, la leadership generativa e le organizzazioni? Lo raccontiamo in questa puntata.FOLLOW MELinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/robertofiorettoIG: www.instagram.com/leaderetici

Sur un coup de tête, Cosimo sʹextrait du monde pour vivre à jamais dans les arbres. Inspirée du roman "Le Baron perché" dʹItalo Calvino, cette création fait dialoguer théâtre et arts circassien.

Dror Mishani, né le 23 juin 1975 à Holon, est un écrivain, traducteur israélien. Il est également universitaire et spécialiste de l'histoire du roman policier. Il est l'auteur d'une série de romans noirs dont le héros est l'inspecteur de police Avraham Avraham, traduite en plus de 15 langues, dont l'anglais, le suédois, l'allemand et le français. Son nouveau livre « Au ras du sol, journal d'un écrivain en temps de guerre », traduit par Laurence Sendrowicz, est publié chez Gallimard. Un texte dont il parle en français ans cet entretien. Laurence Sendrowicz (Traduction)Le matin du 7 octobre 2023, à Toulouse, Dror Mishani découvre le message de sa femme : « Bonjour, ici, c'est un sacré bordel. » Il envisage tout, sauf cette attaque du Hamas… Dans l'avion qui le ramène à Tel-Aviv en Israël, il commence à rédiger un article : « Peut-être faut-il reconnaître la puissance du coup porté et la profondeur de notre douleur, reconnaître la défaite, ne pas essayer de l'escamoter sous ce qui aura l'air, à court terme, d'une victoire, mais qui ne sera qu'un engrenage de souffrances. »Ces lignes sont au cœur d'un journal intime qui décrit, pendant six mois, la vie quotidienne en temps de guerre et expose les sentiments complexes d'un père de famille israélien marié à une Polonaise catholique ; un intellectuel pacifiste passant, aux yeux de certains proches, pour un traître ; un romancier écrasé par la politique qui craint de ne plus jamais pouvoir écrire et qui, pour ne pas sombrer, « cherche refuge dans la lecture des catastrophes des autres » — Natalia Ginzburg, Italo Calvino, Stefan Zweig, Emmanuel Carrère...

Italo Calvino's novella Invisible Cities is a hypnagogic reimagining of Marco Polo's time in the court of Kublai Khan. Polo describes 55 impossible places – cities made of plumbing, free-floating, overwhelmed by rubbish, buried underground – that reveal something true about every city. Marina and Anna Della read Invisible Cities alongside the Travels of Marco Polo, and explore how both blur the lines between reality and fantasy, storyteller and audience. They discuss the connections between Calvino's love of fairytales and his anti-fascist politics, and why he saw the fantastic as a mode of truth-telling.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

Jonathan Swift's 1726 tale of Houyhnhnms, Yahoos, Lilliputians and Struldbruggs is normally seen as a satire. But what if it's read as fantasy, and all its contradictions, inversions and reversals as an echo of the traditional starting point of Arabic fairytale: ‘It was and it was not'? In this episode Marina and Anna Della discuss Gulliver's Travels as a text in which empiricism and imagination are tightly woven, where fantastical realms are created to give different perspectives on reality and both writer and reader are liberated from having to decide what to think.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Italian author of Invisible Cities, If On A Winter's Night A Traveller, Cosmicomics and other celebrated novels, fables and short stories of the 20th Century. Calvino (1923 -1985) had a passionate belief that writing and art could make life better for everyone. Despite his parents being scientists, who dearly wanted him to be a scientist too, and his time fighting with the Partisans in Liguria in WWII during which his parents were held hostage by the Nazis, Calvino turned away from realism in his writing. Ideally, he said, he would have liked to be alive in the Enlightenment. He moved towards the fantastical, drawing on his childhood reading while collecting a huge number of the fables of Italy and translating them from dialect into Italian to enrich the shared culture of his fellow citizens. His fresh perspective on the novel continues to inspire writers and delight readers in Italian and in translations around the world.With Guido Bonsaver Professor of Italian Cultural History at the University of OxfordJennifer Burns Professor of Italian Studies at the University of WarwickAndBeatrice Sica Associate Professor in Italian Studies at UCLProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list: Elio Baldi, The Author in Criticism: Italo Calvino's Authorial Image in Italy, the United States, and the United Kingdom (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2020)Elio Baldi and Cecilia Schwartz, Circulation, Translation and Reception Across Borders: Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities Around the World (Routledge, 2024)Peter Bondanella and Andrea Ciccarelli (eds.), The Cambridge Companion to the Italian Novel (Cambridge University Press, 2003), especially the chapter ‘Italo Calvino and Umberto Eco: Postmodern Masters'James Butler, ‘Infinite Artichoke' (London Review of Books, vol. 45, no. 12, 15 June 2023)Italo Calvino (trans.

Marco Alfano"Parole a manovella"La linea scrittawww.lalineascritta.itSpesso i grandi scrittori si mettono a giocare mentre scrivono.Dagli insospettabili Dante e Boccaccio fino a Joyce, Nabokov, Cortàzar e Primo Levi, solo per citarne alcuni, la letteratura si è nutrita e si nutre sottotraccia di sperimentazioni sulla forma che sono delle vere e proprie macchine giocose, i cui ingranaggi sono regole rigorose che producono piacere aggiuntivo nel lettore. E soprattutto che hanno la funzione di stimolo alla creatività, come ben sapevano gli scrittori dell'OuLiPo come Perec e Queneau (cui si unì Italo Calvino), che hanno prodotto capolavori assoluti a partire da una griglia di norme formali in cui sbizzarrirsi con la fantasia per ottenere il miglior risultato, proprio come in un gioco di società.E, d'altra parte, il piacere del gioco, che sia coltivato individualmente o in gruppo, si alimenta spessissimo con la lingua, le parole e la loro duttilità, i sensi multipli (e i nonsensi), le assonanze. Dal Gioco del vocabolario al Telegrafo senza fili, dal Taboo ai surrealisti Cadaveri Squisiti, ai molteplici giochi enigmistici il divertimento passa attraverso il linguaggio, la sua manipolazione gioiosa, lo stupore infantile della scoperta di nuovi sensi e nuovi suoni.Questo laboratorio vuole affrontare con serissima leggerezza la relazione tra parola e gioco, in entrambe le direzioni: usare il gioco e le sue regole come strumento creativo per scrivere e le parole per giocare e divertirsi. Lo faremo attraversando la miriade di forme della ludoscrittura, leggendo e analizzando gli scrittori e i poeti che l'hanno praticata ma soprattutto scrivendo e giocando assieme.  A chi è rivolto:A chi scrive e vuole aggiungere nuovi utensili, manovelle, trottole, scatole a molla e caleidoscopi alla sua cassetta degli attrezzi narrativaA chi è appassionato di giochi, letteratura, enigmistica, poesia, combinatoria, scrittura umoristicaA chiunque, che sia o no incluso nelle due categorie precedenti, voglia divertirsi e impararenuovi giochi e cimenti da sperimentare in gruppo o da soloCome si articolaSei incontri in videoconferenza, il giovedì, di due ore ciascuno, con una parte teorica e, principalmente, l'applicazione pratica e creativa delle varie forme di scrittura ludica o “a contrainte”. Esercizi, giochi e scritture saranno condivisi continuativamente attraverso una mailing list e un gruppo Facebook che saranno attivi durante il laboratorio e anche successivamente.Alcuni degli argomenti/giochi:l'OuLiPo e la scrittura a contrainte; Lipogrammi e tautogrammi; Acrostici, palindromi e anagrammi; Poesia metasemantica; Le lingue inventate; Le parole inesistenti e il gioco del vocabolario; La combinatoria; Le forme poetiche come Ur-contraintes; Il nonsense e i Limericks; Le scritture automatiche; Il cut-up di Borroughs; Il cinegioco (gioco dei titoli).Alcuni degli autori trattati:Georges Perec; Raymond Queneau; Primo Levi; Stefano Bartezzaghi; Giampaolo Dossena; Umberto Eco; Italo Calvino; Tommaso Landolfi; Julio Cortázar; Jorge Luis Borges; J. Rodolfo Wilcock; Giorgio Manganelli; Marcello Marchesi; Achille Campanile; Ettore Petrolini; Raymond Roussel; Leonardo Sciascia; Vladimir Nabokov; Giovanni Boccaccio; Dante Alighieri; Gianni Mura; Beppe Varaldo; Toti Scialoja; Edward Lear; Lewis Carroll; Fosco Maraini.Marco AlfanoCura per Lalineascritta, nei cui laboratori si è formato, il sito web, e i corsi in videoconferenza, che ha ideato e realizza assieme ad Antonella Cilento dal 2011.

Giovanni Tesio"Paròla, amisa mia"Edizioni Interlineawww.interlinea.com«Solidi come patate, come pietre, senza coscienza, parola e verso durano, se gli dai spazio» ha scritto Sylvia Plath. Allo stesso modo in questo libro la «paròla» è, fin dal titolo, «amica»: per Giovanni Tesio l'importante è che la parola - la sua fragilità, la sua insufficienza - resti attaccato il più possibile alla cosa, la morda, la scavi, la riveli. Sulle orme di poeti come Franco Loi l'autore declina luoghi, sguardi e tempo dentro sonetti in piemontese, che è come «stringere e inchiodare / suoni che fanno una musica di nocciole / battendo tutte insieme su un foglio di carta».Le poisìe a son come patate?Mòrbide e drue, a stan doe tij bute,ma son cò grotolùe e mi sai dì ch'a marso facilment e a fan ë-strìGiovanni Tesio (1946), già ordinario di letteratura italiana presso l'Università del Piemonte Orientale A. Avogadro, ha pubblicato alcuni volumi di saggi, una biografia di Augusto Monti, una monografia su Piero Chiara, molte antologie. Ha curato per Einaudi la scelta dall'epistolario editoriale di Italo Calvino, I libri degli altri (1991); più recentemente la conversazione con Primo Levi, Io che vi parlo (2016) e, presso Interlinea, altri due volumi su vita e opera di Levi, Primo Levi. Ancora qualcosa da dire (2018) e Primo Levi. Il laboratorio della coscienza (2021). Sempre presso Interlinea un pamphlet in difesa della lettura, della letteratura e della poesia, I più amati.Perché leggerli? Come leggerli? (2012), un “sillabario” intitolato Parole essenziali (2014), un'antologia, Anche gli alberi cantano (2024) sulle piante in poesia, e due antologie dedicate alla poesia e alla prosa della Shoah, Nell'abisso del lager (2019) e Nel buco nero di Auschwitz (2021) cui sono seguiti, presso Lindau, due volumi che compongono una sorta di dittico: La poesia in gioco (2023), e Nel bosco dei libri (2024). La sua attività poetica, dopo esordi lontani, è sfociata nella pubblicazione di un canzoniere in piemontese di 369 sonetti, intitolato Vita dacant e da canté (Torino, Centro Studi Piemontesi-Ca dë Studi Piemontèis, 2017), poi seguito da due titoli editi da Interlinea, Piture parolà (2018) tradotto in francese (14 seconde. L'art réfléchi dans un sonnet) da Perle Abbrugiati, e Nosgnor (2020). È stato per trentacinque anni collaboratore di “La Stampa”. Nel 2018, presso Lindau, è uscito il suo primo libro di narrativa, Gli zoccoli nell'erba pesante e nel 2024 il Diario di un camminante sulla strada per Santiago.

Perhaps best known for his novels Motherless Brooklyn (1999), The Fortress of Solitude (2003), and Chronic City (2009)—or, more recently, Brooklyn Crime Novel (2023)—the author, essayist, and cultural critic Jonathan Lethem could be considered the ultimate modern-day Brooklyn bard, even if today he lives in California, where he's a professor of English and creative writing at Pomona College. His most celebrated books take place in Brooklyn, or in the case of Chronic City, on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and across his genre-spanning works of fiction, his narratives capture a profound sense of the rich chaos and wonder to be found in an urban existence. Lethem is also the author of several essay collections, including the newly published Cellophane Bricks: A Life in Visual Culture (ZE Books), which compiles much of his art writing from over the years written in response to—and often in exchange for—artworks by friends, including Gregory Crewdson, Nan Goldin, and Raymond Pettibon.On the episode, Lethem discusses his passion for book dedications; the time he spent with James Brown and Bob Dylan, respectively, when profiling them for Rolling Stone in the mid-aughts; how his work is, in part, a way of dealing with and healing from his mother's death in 1978, at age 36; and why he views his writing as “fundamentally commemorative.”Special thanks to our Season 10 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Jonathan Lethem[5:35] Cellophane Bricks[5:35] High School of Music and Art[5:35] Motherless Brooklyn[5:35] The Fortress of Solitude[5:35] The Disappointment Artist[5:35] Maureen Linker[7:15] Carmen Fariña[8:26] Julia Jacquette[8:26] Rosalyn Drexler[9:08] The Great Gatsby[9:08] Brooklyn Crime Novel[10:59] Lynn Nottage[13:08] Bennington College[13:08] Bret Easton Ellis[13:08] Donna Tartt[23:41] The Collapsing Frontier[23:41] Italo Calvino[23:41] Cold War[23:41] Red Scare[23:41] J.

"Don't be afraid to make something." The DJ and composer discusses the vulnerability of the creative process, returning to the piano and touring her latest album. Laurel Halo has been circling around the club music world for a number of years, but she's only recently entered the echelons of jazz and contemporary classical. Originally from Michigan, she went to music school in New York before moving to Berlin, and now Los Angeles, where she composed her 2023 album, Atlas—a release that's been met with widespread critical acclaim. She also played alongside Moritz von Oswald in his jazz outfit the Moritz von Oswald Trio, and released a number of eclectic, UK-tinged dance floor records on underground giants like Hyperdub and Livity Sound. In this RA Exchange, Laurel Halo discusses the new direction of her music and what it's been like to tour it live with cellist Leila Bordreuil. She also talks about her creative inspiration (namely, the Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul and books by surrealist writers like Ursula K. Le Guin and Italo Calvino), the practice of aesthetic minimalism more generally and the methods she uses to create subtle variations in pieces that are slow to evolve. Listen to the episode in full.

Chapter 1What is ChaosOnce upon a time, in the world of chaos and unpredictability, James Gleick introduced us to a groundbreaking concept in his book "Chaos." This intriguing tale delves into the fascinating realm of chaos theory, exploring the intricate patterns hidden within seemingly random events. From the fluttering of a butterfly's wings to the formation of galaxies, chaos theory unveils the underlying order within complexity. Through captivating stories and thought-provoking insights, Gleick challenges our traditional notions of predictability and control, inviting us to embrace the beauty of chaos. With every turn of the page, readers are invited to explore the interconnectedness of systems, the power of feedback loops, and the delicate balance between order and disorder. Join Gleick on this mesmerizing journey through chaos, where the only constant is change.Chapter 2 Meet the Writer of ChaosIn his book "Chaos: Making a New Science," James Gleick demonstrates his mastery of writing skills and language style to convey the emotions and meanings of chaos theory. Gleick's concise and precise language captures the complexity and unpredictability of chaotic systems, while also conveying the beauty and intricacy of the concepts. Through his skillful use of metaphors, analogies, and vivid descriptions, Gleick brings to life the world of chaos and its implications for science and society. By engaging the reader's imagination and intellect, Gleick effectively communicates the excitement and potential of chaos theory, inviting us to explore the mysteries of a new science.Chapter 3 Deeper Understanding of ChaosChaos theory, which explores the unpredictable and complex nature of systems, has had a significant influence on various aspects of literature, culture, and society. One of the key ideas that Chaos theory introduces is the concept of 'sensitive dependence on initial conditions,' popularly known as the butterfly effect. This idea suggests that small changes in initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes in complex systems, making them inherently unpredictable.In literature, Chaos theory has inspired writers to explore non-linear narratives, fragmented structures, and characters with chaotic or unpredictable behaviors. Authors like Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, and Thomas Pynchon have embraced Chaos theory in their works, creating narratives that challenge traditional notions of order and control. In particular, postmodern literature has been heavily influenced by Chaos theory, as it reflects the fragmented and uncertain nature of contemporary society.In culture, Chaos theory has sparked a shift towards embracing complexity and uncertainty. The acceptance of Chaos theory has led to a greater appreciation for the beauty and intricacy of chaotic systems in nature, art, and music. Artists like Jackson Pollock and John Cage have drawn inspiration from Chaos theory, using randomness and unpredictability to create their works. Similarly, Chaos theory has influenced contemporary music genres like experimental, electronic, and avant-garde, which often incorporate elements of randomness and disorder.In society, Chaos theory has challenged traditional hierarchical structures and control mechanisms. The idea of self-organizing systems, where order emerges from decentralized interactions, has led to new models of governance, economics, and social organization. This has also influenced fields like urban planning, architecture, and design, where the focus is on creating flexible and adaptive systems that can respond to changing environments.Overall, Chaos theory has changed people's ways of thinking by challenging the belief in predictability and control. It has encouraged a shift towards embracing complexity, uncertainty, and the beauty of disorder. Its influence can be seen in literature,...

In an episode we last featured on our Radiolab for Kids Feed back in 2020, and in honor of its blocking out the Sun for a bit of us for a bit last week, in this episode, we're gonna talk more about the moon. According to one theory, (psst listen to The Moon Itself if you want to know more) the moon formed when a Mars-sized chunk of rock collided with Earth, the moon coalesced out of the debris from that impact. And it was MUCH closer to Earth than it is today. This idea is taken to its fanciful limit in Italo Calvino's story "The Distance of the Moon" (from his collection Cosmicomics, translated by William Weaver). Read by Liev Schreiber, the story is narrated by a character with the impossible-to-pronounce name Qfwfq, and tells of a strange crew who jump between Earth and moon, and sometimes hover in the nether reaches of gravity between the two.This reading was part of a live event hosted by Radiolab and Selected Shorts, and it originally aired on WNYC's and PRI's SELECTED SHORTS, hosted by BD Wong and paired with a Ray Bradbury classic, “All Summer in a Day,” read by musical theater star Michael Cerveris.Our newsletter comes out every Wednesday.
