Au programme de l'émission du 24 avril 24 : avec Christophe Evans, sociologue, et avec Laurent Moreau, auteur-illustrateur (rediffusion) LIVRES ET LECTURE - interview de Christophe Evans - c'est vers 05 mn✔️ Zoom sur la Revue des livres pour enfants, éditée par le Centre national de la littérature pour la jeunesse, à la BnF, pour son numéro 335, paru en mars, avec un dossier « Portraits de lecteurs ». Il regroupe une quinzaine de portraits de quelques pages d'enfants de 7 à 12 ans, écrits sur la base des entretiens menés avec des enfants dans des bibliothèques aux quatre coins de la France. Cela donne un kaléidoscope diversifié, très agréable à lire qui, s'il ne reflète évidemment pas toute la diversité des enfants, permet néanmoins d'avoir un aperçu vivant et concret des pratiques de lecture d'enfants aujourd'hui : leurs goûts en matière de livres, leurs usages de la bibliothèque, leur plaisir ou pas à lire et à en parler... Et ce n'est pas si souvent qu'on demande leur avis aux enfants ! Photo de couverture : Céleste, à la bibliothèque Vaclav Havel, Paris 18 - Béatrice Lucchese-BnF

Un racconto capace di bilanciare perfettamente l'esilarante e il tragico, realistico e fantastico, che ha fruttato a Mott il National Book Award, e che prende le mosse dalle sue esperienze di vita: vittima di bullismo, impiegato di call center, e naturalmente autore di bestseller.

On today's episode, I want to be open and candid about a failure I had this year. Here are three main thoughts or lessons around failure that I'm trying to always keep in mind: #1. Failure is not necessarily a bad word. There can be times when you completely mess something up, but there can be times when something just didn't work out or the client failed, but you feel like a failure anyway. It sounds cliché, but I think it's important to learn from our failures. Do a candid debrief with yourself: How did this happen? Why did this happen? How can I prevent this in the future? #2. When I set an overarching goal for my business—and I remember to stick to that goal—I'm less likely to fail. Here's what I mean: My overall goal is to be a go-to and respected writer and editor in the membership association industry. While it's important sometimes to go out of your comfort zone, I also do better when I stick to my goal and choose projects and clients related to my goal. #3. Stick to Katherine Reynolds Lewis' 3 P's model. As she explained in episode 132, when Katherine is deciding whether to take on a project, an assignment or a new client, she always considers the 3 P's: pay, portfolio and passion. Following this model helps you know your WHY and can keep you on track. In this episode, I outline a failure I had with a client this year and the lessons I learned from it. I also talk about previous failures in episode 71 (link below). Biz Bite: Establish a personal board of advisers.

LouisvilleReads | Ep 28 | Hell of a Book (2021) | Jason Mott | 3-23-22 by FORward Radio
From tall tales to The Twilight Zone, Jason Mott likes stories about the real world turned slightly on its ear. His latest novel, Hell of a Book, is a bold mix of absurdist farce and powerful reflections on racism and police violence. Strikingly original and remarkably affecting, it won the 2021 U.S. National Book Award for Fiction.
Jason Mott's award-winning novel HELL OF A BOOK is a bold and imaginative story that takes readers through a multidimensional universe where magical realism, humor, and breaking of the fourth wall, examine love and grief. Mott's protagonist embarks upon a book tour, but soon the unnamed author finds himself followed by a young Black boy who may or may not be imaginary. On this episode of The Vulgar Geniuses Podcast, we talk with National Book Award winner Jason Mott about writing without constraints, his love of Streetfighter, and how an inside joke among friends about Nicolas Cage made its way into his novel. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/vulgargeniuses/support

Jason Mott's "Hell of a Book" won The National Book Award in 2021. It is an astounding work of fiction where a Black author sets out on a publicity tour to promote his bestselling novel. The book - always deeply honest, at times electrically funny -- goes to the heart of racism, police violence, and the hidden costs exacted upon Black Americans and America as a whole.

The Pat Conroy Literary Center and the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network proudly present executive director Jonathan Haupt in conversation with novelist Jason Mott, author of Hell of a Book. In Hell of a Book, an African-American author sets out on a cross-country book tour to promote his bestselling novel. That storyline drives Jason Mott's novel and is the scaffolding of something much larger and more urgent: since his novel also tells the story of Soot, a young Black boy living in a rural town in the recent past, and The Kid, a possibly imaginary child who appears to the author on his tour. Throughout, these characters' stories build and build and as they converge, they astonish. Unforgettably powerful, an electrifying high-wire act, ideal for book clubs, and the book Mott says he has been writing in his head for ten years, Hell of a Book in its final twists truly becomes its title. "Hell of a Book more than lives up to its title. Playful, searching, raw and necessary, this writing, this voice, this novel twisted me up and turned me inside out, dazzled me, surprised me and moved me."—Charles Yu, author of Interior Chinatown GUEST: Jason Mott has published three previous novels. His first novel, The Returned, was a New York Times bestseller and was turned into a TV series that ran for two seasons. He has a BFA in Fiction and an MFA in Poetry, both from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. His poetry and fiction have appeared in various literary journals. HOST: Jonathan Haupt is the executive director of the Pat Conroy Literary Center and co-editor of Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy. www.patconroyliterarycenter.org

If there ever was a piece of fiction suited to becoming an audiobook, this is it. AudioFile's Alan Minskoff tells host Jo Reed of these two distinct yet interlocking stories of what it is to be Black in America. Narrator JD Jackson's inspired portrayal of an unnamed author on a boozy book tour has the sandy sadness of a man coming to terms with fame, race, and death. Ronald Peet, whose voice has a fine and magisterial sound, delivers the parallel story of “Soot,” a 10-year-old Black boy. This bittersweet audiobook is moving and memorable.
