BIG SWISS by Jen Beagin, chosen by Nussaibah Younis A HEART SO WHITE by Javier Marías, chosen by Josh Cohen THE END OF EDDY by Edouard Louis, chosen by Harriett GilbertBig Swiss is a 29-year-old gynecologist who has never had an orgasm. Greta Work is an audio transcriber for a sex therapist who is infatuated by one of his clients. After an encounter at the dog park, they strike up an affair. Nussaibah calls this one of the funniest books she's ever read. What do the others think? A Heart So White, by the Spanish author Javier Marias and recommended by Josh, has a shocking opening page. What unravels after is a harrowing tale of family secrets and their resonances through different generations. First published in 1992. Finally, The End of Eddy, Harriett's pick, was a sensation when it was first published in France in 2014. An autobiographical novel of a violent and mostly difficult childhood, it also can be read as a portrait of a poor, rural community in Northern France.Josh Cohen is a psychoanalyst and writer, whose many books include Not Working: Why We Have to Stop; How to Live: What to Do and, most recently, All the Rage: Why Anger Drives the World. Nussaibah Younis is an expert on contemporary Iraq who for several years advised the Iraqi government on de-radicalising women affiliated with ISIS. Nussaibah's debut novel Fundamentally was shortlisted for this year's Women's Prize for Fiction. Produced by Eliza Lomas, for BBC Audio Bristol.

We're joined today by Josh Cook. Josh is a bookseller and co-owner at Porter Square Books in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he has worked since 2004. He is the author of the critically acclaimed postmodern detective novel An Exaggerated Murder and most recently of The Art of Libromancy: Selling Books and Reading Books in the Twenty-First Century, published by our friends at Biblioasis.We chat about his work as well as I Hotel by Karen Tei Yamashita, published by Coffee House Press. Some words get thrown around a bit too often and are frequently misapplied. However, I Hotel is absolutely a masterpiece. To give any kind of synopsis is to do the book (and you) a disservice, but in a somewhat quixotic attempt at that: this is a novel comprised of novellas, all set in the San Francisco of the late 60s and early 70s exploring the revolutionary movements (political, cultural, artistic, romantic, and everything that makes life a dazzling experience) of that time and place. It's a wide-ranging conversation and one we hope you'll find as exciting and engaging as we did.Books/authors mentioned (another curriculum for you!):all of Yamashita's other works (Tropic of Cancer is next up for Tom, he thinks)Tell Me How It Ends by Valeria LuiselliWhite Teeth by Zadie SmithNever Did the Fire by Diamela Eltit, translated by Daniel HahnThree Trapped Tigers by G. Cabrera Infante, translated by Donald Gardner and Suzanne Jill LevineThe Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño, translated by Natasha WimmerGravity's Rainbow by Thomas PynchonUnderworld by Don DeLilloInfinite Jest by David Foster WallaceIf you'd like to read a bit more about/from Yamashita, here's a LitHub article Josh wrote “Why Everyone Should Read the Great Karen Tei Yamashita” and another LitHub article on the “The Craft of Writing” by Yamashita herself.To hear more from Josh follow him on Instagram (@joshthelibromancer) and Bluesky (@joshthelibromancer), and follow Porter Square Books on Instagram (@porter_square_books), Bluesky (@portersqbooks), and Threads (@porter_square_books).Click here to subscribe to our Substack and find us on the socials: @lostinredonda just about everywhere.Music: “The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys” by TrafficLogo design: Flynn Kidz Designs

We're joined today by Lara Ehrlich, a writer, editor, and longtime friend (she and Tom go back 20 years, which seems impossible). Her first story collection, Animal Wife, was published by Red Hen Press back in 2020, and her first novel, Bind Me Tighter Still, will publish in 2025, also from Red Hen. She also hosts a conversation series, Writer Mother Monster, and is the founder and director of Thought Fox Writers Den.We chat about her work as well as Wild Milk: Stories by Sabrina Orah Mark, published by Dorothy, A Publishing Project. It's a fantastic collection: feral, fleshly, and truly wild in its imagination and skill. We spend a great deal of the episode just digging into all the things that make these stories work and the many, many things we don't understand how Mark pulls off so well. One of our favorite conversations so far!Authors mentioned (another curriculum for you!):Lydia DavisKaren RussellKelly LinkKatherine DunnAli SmithMarie NdiayeAngela CarterElizabeth McCrackenAimee BenderAmber SparksAmelia GrayRamona AusubelTo hear more from Lara follow her on Instagram (@lara.ehrlich) and Twitter (@TheLaraEhrlich), and follow Thought Fox on Instagram (@thoughtfoxwritersden) and Twitter (@ThoughtFoxDen).

We're joined today by Mark Haber of Coffee House Press (formerly of Brazos Bookstore in Houston). Mark is the author of two novels, Reinhardt's Garden and Saint Sebastian's Abyss, and the forthcoming novel Lesser Ruins, as well as a forthcoming novella, Ada. We chat about his work as well as Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald, translated by Anthea Bell. A quick note that there was some construction noise we didn't detect during the recording but did get picked up by our mics. We've eliminated it to the best of our ability, but if you hear a bit of an odd thrumming in the background or our voices crackle, it's not your ears.This is a fantastic and wide-ranging conversation, really digging into a lot of what makes Sebald's work unique (and how it does or does not influence Mark's own work). We discuss memory, liminality, style, surveillance and organization, the lack of literary feuds on TikTok, and more.Titles/authors mentioned:W.G. Sebald (all of it, but especially):Vertigo, A Place in the Country, and Campo SantoSergio Chejfec: The Dark and My Two WorldsJavier MaríasFranz KafkaD.H. Lawrence: Lady Chatterley's Lover, The Rainbow, and Sons & LoversAnthony Trollope (like, all of him)Juan Jose Saer: Scars and The Sixty-Five Years of WashingtonKazuo Ishiguro: The UnconsoledFollow Mark on Instagram (@markhaber) and follow Coffee House on Instagram (@coffeehousepress) and Twitter (@Coffee_House_).

Today Spencer Ruchti of Third Place Books joins to chat about The Tanners by Robert Walser, translated by Susan Bernofsky. We actually recorded this back in November and are glad to get it out into the world. Early on Spencer dips out momentarily due to an alarm in the store, but all ended up being right with the world. At least in that instant.This is another wide-ranging chat as we dig into The Tanners and Walser's writing. Some notable—perhaps random, perhaps not—topics that came up: hiking, firefighters, Full House, and lucid dreaming.Lastly, Spencer is one of the founders of a newer literary prize, the Cercador Prize, which selected its first winner, Of Cattle and Men from Charco Press, back in the Fall. Do check them out and follow along as they get moving on the second year of the prize!Titles/authors mentioned:Of Cattle and Men by Ana Paula Maia, translated by Zoë PerryGirlfriends, Ghosts, and Other Stories by Robert Walser, translated by Tom Whalen, with Nicole Köngeter and Annette WiesnerLooking at Pictures by Robert Walser, translated by Susan Bernofsky, Lydia Davis, and Christopher MiddletonBuddenbrooks by Thomas MannClairvoyant of the Small: The Life of Robert Walker by Susan BernofskyBarry LopezAlexander von HumboldtHeinrich von KleistWalks with Walser by Carl Seelig, translated by Anne PostenSeptology by Jon Fosse, translated by Damion SearlsErik SatieWG SebaldThe Village on Horseback by Jesse BallTo hear more from Spencer follow him on Instagram: @spenruch and follow the Cercador Prize on Instagram, too: @cercadorprizeClick here to subscribe to our Substack and find us on the socials: @lostinredonda just about everywhere.Music: “The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys” by TrafficLogo design: Flynn Kidz Designs

Tara is a freelance critic, former judge of the Best Translated Book Award, and she brings us our first work of nonfiction.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents three pieces about marriages that outlive the romance. In Etgar Keret's “A World without Selfie Sticks,” performed by Tate Donovan, a man meets the woman of his dreams; but she's from an alternate universe. “On the Honeymoon,” by Javier Marias, a husband has a strange encounter with a woman in the street. It's read by Ivan Hernandez. And in Duncan Birmingham's “The Cult In My Garage,” performed by Michaela Watkins, an old college buddy turns up, and he's got a mission.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is upon us and it does not disappoint. Too much to say about this one and, as always, we could have gone an hour longer and still not covered it all. An absolutely fantastic novel and one that certainly lives up to the hype and praise that surrounds it.Titles/authors mentioned: The Secret History by Donna Tartt O Caledonia by Elspeth Barker Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter by Mario Vargas Llosa The Old Devils by Kingsley Amis Ottessa Moshfegh Bryan WashingtonClick here to subscribe to our Substack and find us on the socials: @lostinredonda just about everywhere.Music: “The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys” by TrafficLogo design: Flynn Kidz Designs

We stand on the precipice, one episode away from THE PRIME! Before that, though, we discuss The Bachelors, a fantastic novel chock full of some of the strangest characters Spark has written, which is really saying something. Mediums, epileptics, blackmail, criminality, and much, much more abound in this one. And one of the funniest scenes yet involving a gentleman's club, a game of hide-and-seek, and drapes. As always: a really great time.Click here to subscribe to our Substack and find us on the socials: @lostinredonda just about everywhere.Music: “The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys” by TrafficLogo design: Flynn Kidz Designs

We kick off our season-long read of Muriel Spark's novels this week and what a start! The Comforters is Spark's debut, published in 1956, and is, quite simply, magnificent. Lori and Tom wax heavily on how impressive this novel is and how incredibly fun it is, too! It's going to be quite a great season judging by this title alone.Click here to subscribe to our Substack and do follow us on the socials, @lostinredonda across most apps (Twitter and Instagram for now; we're coming for you eventually #booktok).Music: “The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys” by TrafficLogo design: Flynn Kidz Designs

Bu hafta didiklemeyi, kitaplarda ve filmlerde izini sürmeyi seçtiğimiz o "şey": evlilik! Neden evlenir insanlar, rutinleşen evlilik nasıl bir kalp ağrısıdır, bu deliliğin içinde evli kalmak ne şekilde mümkündür, hangi kitaplar ve hangi filmler bize bu konuda neler fısıldar, nasıl yol gösterebilir? Evlilik kavramını Ingmar Bergman'dan Noah Baumbach'a, Ronan Hession'dan Javier Marias'a; pek çok yönetmen ve yazardan da destek alarak her yönüyle deşmeye çalışıyoruz.

Here it is, folks, our final episode on Your Face Tomorrow and the last part of our Marías project. It's a longer one, but very worth it if we do say so ourselves.Our next season and new project will kick off in a couple weeks' time, but before that a thank you for listening along. It's a fun project and one we hope folks are getting as much out of as we are (and do let us know what you think and/or what you'd like to see us dive into next!).So, stay hydrated as we wrap up our time with Deza and his creator, the late, great Javier Marías.Click here to subscribe to our Substack and do follow us on the socials, @lostinredonda across most apps (Twitter and Instagram for now; we're coming for you eventually #booktok).Music: “Estos Dias” by Enrique UrquijoLogo design: Flynn Kidz Designs

It's very strange to be this close to the end of our Marías focus, but that's rather how time moves, ever forward (unless you're Marías and can make time a rather fungible thing in your novels...). This is a fun episode, touching on East End gangsters, Spandau Ballet, the Spanish Civil War, swordplay, and more. And a couple of characters from the previous volume make appearances, though we rather welcome one over the other.One more episode of Marías, a brief break, and then a new project.

And now we enter the homestretch. Over the next few episodes we'll tackle Marías' masterpiece, Your Face Tomorrow. Starting, of course, with the first volume, Fever and Spear.Once we wrap up the Marías project we're going to take a week or so off and then we'll be back with more backlist dives and a new author whose work we'll spend some time digging into.As always, thank you for listening.Click here to subscribe to our Substack and do follow us on the socials, @lostinredonda across most apps (Twitter and Instagram for now; we're coming for you eventually #booktok).Music: “Estos Dias” by Enrique UrquijoLogo design: Flynn Kidz Designs

A fun discussion this week of two novels published almost 30 years apart in The Infatuations and The Man of Feeling. We walk down some interesting paths and may get ourselves into a moral quandary or two (wouldn't be a discussion of Marías without some moral murkiness, now would it?).These are the last two Marías novels we discuss before wrapping this season with a three episode discussion of that absolute beast: Your Face Tomorrow. A backlist episode next week and then we begin the deep dive. As always, thank you for listening.Click here to subscribe to our Substack and do follow us on the socials, @lostinredonda across most apps (Twitter and Instagram for now; we're coming for you eventually #booktok).Music: “Estos Dias” by Enrique UrquijoLogo design: Flynn Kidz Designs

Lori and Tom discuss Marías' final novel, Tomás Nevinson, just published in the US on May 23rd. A warning that spoilers do occur, especially after the 37 minute mark, so listener beware.Next episode we will return to discussing backlist in addition to our Marías deep-dives.Click here to subscribe to our Substack and do follow us on the socials, @lostinredonda across most apps (Twitter and Instagram for now; we're coming for you eventually #booktok).Music: “Estos Dias” by Enrique UrquijoLogo design: Flynn Kidz Designs

To mark the publication of Marías final novel, Tomás Nevinson, we're spending this episode and our next episode diving into the twinned works of Berta Isla and Tomás Nevinson. On this episode we dive deep into Berta (warning: we do rather go into the plot in a more significant manner than we have with other titles discussed thus far). And in two weeks' time we'll be back to chat about Tomás Nevinson (so if you haven't picked up a copy yet, get thee to your local indie and get cracking!).Click here to subscribe to our Substack and do follow us on the socials, @lostinredonda across most apps (Twitter and Instagram for now; we're coming for you eventually #booktok).Music: “Estos Dias” by Enrique UrquijoLogo design: Flynn Kidz Designs

Welcome back! In our third episode we discuss House of Splendid Isolation by Edna O'Brien for the backlist deep dive. In the Marías portion we dig into Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me and A Heart So White. We really hit it out of the park in both sections, if we do say so ourselves.Books mentioned in this episode: The works of Edna O'Brien, specifically: Girl and The Little Red Chairs Chronicle of the Murdered House by Lúcio Cardoso, translated by Margaret Jull Costa & Robin Patterson Galore by Michael CrummeyAnd returning champions: John Crow's Devil by Marlon James A Companion to Javier Marías by David K.

Leikverkið Á eigin vegum var frumsýnt í Borgarleikhúsinu síðastliðið laugardagskvöld. Leikgerðin byggir á skáldsögu metsöluhöfundarins Kristínar Steinsdóttur sem kom út árið 2006, en bókin var tilnefnd til Bókmenntaverðlauna Norðurlandaráðs og hlaut Fjöruverðlaunin árið 2007. Eva Halldóra Guðmundsdóttir rýnir í verkið. Hallsteinn Sigurðsson myndhöggvari á að baki langan feril prýddan fjölbreyttum verkum. Frá því hann kom úr námi í byrjun sjöunda áratugarins hefur hann unnið þvívíð verk, fyrst og fremst í steypu, stál, járn og ál. Mörg útiverka hans eru kunnugir félagar í borgarlandslaginu, en þekktust eru sennilega álverkin 16 sem standa í Gufunesi. Listamaðurinn hafði sjálfur frumkvæði að þeim garði og gaf borginni síðar öll verkin. Víðsjá heimsótti Café Pysju í Grafarvogi þar sem nú stendur yfir sýning sem kallast Í Hallsteins nafni. Einn fremsti rithöfundur Spánar, Javier Marías, féll frá í síðustu viku, sjötugur að aldri. Marías, sem lengi hefur verið orðaður við bókmenntaverðlaun Nóbels, gaf út sextán skáldsögur og hafa verk eftir hann verið þýdd á 46 tungumál. Marías var einnig afkastamikill þýðandi, auk þess að vera fastur penni í spænska dagblaðinu El País. Gauti Kristmannsson fjallar um Javier Marias í þætti dagsins. Síðustu átt ár hefur Elvar Örn Kjartansson, ljósmyndari, unnið að umfangsmiklu ljósmyndaverkefni þar sem hann hefur heimsótt fyrirtæki og stofnanir á Íslandi og myndað þar ýmis rými. Um er að ræða sto?rt og flo?kið kerfi sem samanstendur af mannvirkjum, stofnunum og þjónustufyrirtækjum og o?teljandi pörtum sem eru innviðir þess. Hvert og eitt þeirra þjo?nar sínum sérstaka tilgangi og sér til þess að þjo?ðfe?lagið nær að ganga sinn vanagang frá degi til dags og við lifum og hrærumst i? því nánast óafvitandi.

Described as “a literary and cultural sensation” by the Paris Review, and considered a favorite for the Nobel Prize, Javier Marias died on September 11th in Madrid, at the age of seventy. In 2017, Eleanor Wachtel joined Marias (at his book-filled Madrid apartment) to talk about his novel Thus Bad Begins, which draws on both his country's dark past and his own family history.

Bine v-am regăsit. Episodul acesta ar trebui să fie pe lista voastră de cadouri pentru Crăciun. Despre listele de cumpărături vă povestim și noi. Apoi, spunem bancuri de iarnă și ne minunăm de câteva cărți excepționale. Masa este plină de fructe. Știm, necaracteristic, dar poveștile sunt bune. Și, da, ne întrebăm, dacă nouă, aici, ne pasă de moarte.  0:00 Povestim incidentul cu fesul, de la Vaslui. 19:22 Bărbații citesc și liste de cumpărături. Sau, în cazul lui Radu, citesc și la cumpărături. 46:35 Ne mai pasă de moarte, aici, la noi? 1:04:24 Neașteptările sunt o combinație de trecut legendar și viitor imaginar. 1:16:52 Spuma Filelor ni-i aduce pe Lorenzo Marone cu Un băiat ca toți ceilalți, Robert Șerban cu Oameni în trening, și pe Javier Marias cu Bărbatul sentimental. Dar și explicații despre noile cuvinte acceptate de DEX.  1:38:07 - Fotbalamucul propune un joc de Fantasy Liga Campionilor. Făcut de noi. 1:54:17 - Oalele și ulcele sunt pline de fructe. Da, și noi am zis la fel.  

Vorbitorincii au leșinat când Radu a citit o lungă listă de prăjituri cum numai Franța are. Apoi au spus toate bancurile din comunism, i-au salutat pe vecinii evrei, romi, unguri și sași. Și, da, au toate cărțile la ei, laolaltă cu un portret la lui Adrian Mutu.  Meniul arată așa 03.30 - Pe aici începe podcastul. Până acolo ne pregătim. După, nu ne mai oprim din bancuri 34.00 - Aici vorbim despre vecinii noștri de toate neamurile, care au plecat de la noi 56.30 - Neașteptările muzicale vă aduc o artistă foarte-foarte tânără și revin la The Beatles 1.05.00 - Două portrete cum nu pot fi mai diferite: Mutu și Modric 1.23.19 - Spuma filelor vine cu “În amintirea memoriei” de Maria Stepanova și cu “Așa începe răul” de Javier Marias. Dar și o poveste minunată despre câțiva tineri sirieni. 1.44.00 - Aici e lista de prăjituri. Și un sendviș  1.56.30 - Podiumul aduce cel mai important gol din istoria Americii și cu o femeie extraordinară. 

In Theatr Clywd's new production of William Golding's classic novel Lord of the Flies, the group of schoolboys stranded on a remote island have all been reimagined as girls. Critic Gary Raymond reviews.Forty playwrights and actors have accused National Theatre Wales of favouring English artists and companies over Welsh ones. In an open letter on the Wales Arts Review website, the Welsh artists also claim that the company is staging too few productions and say that non-Welsh artists and companies should only be engaged to support Welsh or Wales-based artists. Gary Raymond, editor of the Wales Arts Review, and Kully Thiarai, Artistic Director of National Theatre Wales, discuss the issues.From John Cage's controversial composition 4'33”, a three-act movement where no sound is made, to the Rothko Chapel in Texas, a place for contemplation housing 14 of the artist's large, dark paintings, silence has had a significant place in culture. Actor and director Simon McBurney, conductor Jeremy Summerly, and art critic Charlotte Mullins consider the use and importance of silence in theatre, music and art.Berta Isla is the latest novel by Javier Marías, Spain's most celebrated contemporary writer. Critic Alex Clark explains its place in the context of the author's body of work.Presenter: Janina Ramirez Producer: Hannah Robins
