Podcasts about Italo Calvino

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

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.

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. Fa parte del comitato editoriale della collana di poesia “Lyra”.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

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.

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.

Dans son dernier livre, l'écrivaine voyageuse française Lucie Azema convoque l'utopie et les ailleurs, réels ou imaginaires, pour dire le besoin que nous avons tous et toutes de rêver à demain et à ailleurs.  Après avoir livré une réjouissante et salutaire analyse féministe du voyage dans son premier livre « Les femmes aussi sont du voyage », après être partie ensuite sur les multiples routes du thé dans son second ouvrage « L'usage du thé. Une histoire sensible du bout du monde », Lucie Azema a décidé de nous emmener ailleurs. « Nous avons besoin d'un ailleurs qui n'existe pas » : c'est le titre de son dernier essai, érudit mais très didactique qui vient puiser, comme à chaque fois avec l'écrivaine nomade, dans la littérature de voyage et ses figures imposées pour mieux les questionner, les déconstruire, voire les réenchanter. « Réenchanter le voyage », c'est d'ailleurs le sous-titre de ce livre aux allures de manifeste pour tous les coureurs d'horizons, mangeurs de ciel, brûleurs de route, qui enfants, ont rêvé sur les cartes ou lignes de crête, pour mieux se lancer dans le vaste monde, dans des ailleurs réels ou rêvés.  De l'Atlantide à l'île d'Utopie, de l'Eldorado à Katmandou, de cités idéales en paradis perdus, Lucie Azema tisse des réflexions personnelles sur sa vie de femme voyageuse et son rapport au monde à une trame plus collective, celle des rêves de ses congénères occidentaux qui n'ont eu de cesse de projeter des ailleurs, de les chercher, de les inventer. L'autrice revient aussi longuement sur les années 60-70, quand toute une jeunesse occidentale, en quête d'idéal et de vie libre sur la route, s'est lancée sur le « Hippie Trail » ou « Route des Indes », d'Istanbul à Katmandou. Ode à l'imaginaire et au rêve, de puissants motifs de voyage, son livre invite à partir et à ne jamais renoncer à cette promesse qu'incarne l'ailleurs, où qu'il soit : celle d'un monde différent, renouvelé et qui sait meilleur.  À lire :- « Nous avons besoin d'un ailleurs qui n'existe pas ».

"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,...

Einstein's Dreams (Vintage, 1992) by Alan Lightman, set in Albert Einstein's “miracle year” of 1905, is a novel about the cultural interconnection of time, relativity and life. As the young genius creates his theory of relativity, in a series of dreams, he imagines other worlds, each with a different conceptualization of time. In one, time is circular, and people are destined to repeat triumphs and failures over and over. In another, time stands still. In yet another, time is a nightingale, trapped by a bell jar. Translated into over thirty languages, Einstein's Dreams has inspired playwrights, dancers, musicians and artists around the world. In poetic vignettes, Alan Lightman explores the connections between science and art, creativity and the rhythms of life, and ultimately the fragility of human existence. This conversation includes Alan Lightman (MIT), Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera and Annette Martínez-Iñesta, of the Departamento de Humanidades at the Universidad de Puerto Rico-Mayagüez (UPRM), and Joshua Chaparro Mata, a UPRM graduate and doctoral student in Applied Physics at Yale. They discuss dreaming as a scientific and creative resource; the importance of Berne, Switzerland, in the thought of Einstein and Lightman; Lightman's precise and harmonious poetics; the role of technology in contemporary life; and the course Lightman's life, experiences and creative process. This is the second of two episodes about Einstein's Dreams. The first, in Spanish, appeared on the New Books Network en español. The series is sponsored by the Lenguaje focal group at Instituto Nuevos Horizontes at UPRM, a group of scholars who consider how translanguaging ​​can provide unique dimensions to knowledge.  This episode and the Instituto Nuevos Horizontes at the UPRM have been supported by the Mellon Foundation. The conversation is part of the “STEM to STEAM” project of the “Cornerstone” initiative, sponsored by the Teagle Foundation, which stresses the importance of integrating humanistic perspectives in the sciences. Books, scholars, articles and podcasts mentioned in this conversation include: In Praise of Wasting Time, Alan Lightman. Mr g, Alan Lightman. Invisible Cities, Italo Calvino.

La fábula de "La Oveja Negra" es una historia escrita por Italo Calvino. Como muchos de sus maravillosos cuentos, este también está lleno de imaginación. Es una historia que incluye un mensaje profundo y desconcertante, que no deja indiferente a nadie. El relato nos cuenta que en un lugar remoto de la Tierra había un pueblo en donde todos, absolutamente todos, eran ladrones. Cada uno de los habitantes salía tarde en la noche. Llevaba una linterna y una ganzúa. Con esos elementos desvalijaba la casa de su vecino.

Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, Kevin Tumlinson, and Dick Wybrow as they discuss the week's entertainment news, including the Romance Writers of America filing for bankruptcy, Polis Books, and how Costco plans to stop selling books year round. Then, stick around for a chat with Carol LaHines! Carol LaHines: For me, the most affecting stories are those that are leavened with a sardonic sensibility.  Italo Calvino, one of my favorite writers, notes “th[e] particular connection between melancholy and humor,” speaking of how great writing “foregrounds [with] tiny, luminous traces that counterpoint the dark catastrophe.”  I've always veered toward the great literary comic writers—from Cervantes to Laurence Sterne to Pynchon, with a particular reverence for Nabokov, who believed that the best writing places the reader under a spell. My debut novel, Someday Everything Will All Make Sense, was a finalist for the Nilsen Prize for a First Novel and an American Fiction Award. My second novel, The Vixen Amber Halloway, is forthcoming in 2024 (Regal House). My fiction has appeared in journals including Fence, Denver Quarterly, Hayden's Ferry Review, Cimarron Review, The Literary Review, The Laurel Review, South Dakota Review, North Dakota Quarterly, The South Carolina Review, The Chattahoochee Review, The Nebraska Review, North Atlantic Review, Sycamore Review, Permafrost, redivider, Literary Orphans, and Literal Latte. My story, “Papijack,” was selected by judge Patrick Ryan as the recipient of the Lamar York Prize for Fiction. My short stories and novellas have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and been finalists for the David Meyerson Fiction Prize, the Mary McCarthy Prize, the New Letters short story award, and the Disquiet Literary Prize, among others. My nonfiction includes “New York est une ville a part,” appearing in chantier d'ecriture (Mémoire d'encrier, A. Heminway, ed.). I am a graduate of New York University, Gallatin Division, and of St. John's University School of Law. My teachers include Rick Moody, Phil Schultz, and Sheila Kohler. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/writersink/support

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.
