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

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. Thank you as always 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

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.

Eigentlich hat Tomás Nevinson mit dem Geheimdienst abgeschlossen. Doch sein ehemaliger Chef verführt ihn mit einem neuen Auftrag: Nevinson soll in einer spanischen Kleinstadt eine Terroristin, die sich an früheren Anschlägen der ETA und der IRA beteiligt hat, aufspüren und beseitigen. Als er mit einer Frau, die als Zielperson in Frage kommt, eine Beziehung eingeht, gerät er in Gewissenskonflikte. Lassen sich Schuld und Unschuld zweifelsfrei erkennen? Und darf man einen Menschen töten, um ein größeres Verbrechen zu verhindern?Quelle: Verlagstext

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.

Welcome back! In this second episode we discuss some literary news, specifically the passing of Nobel laureate Kenzaburo Oe and the US/Canada edition of the Republic of Consciousness Prize (chaired by our Lori Feathers) before moving onto a conversation on Tristan Egolf's Kornwolf.

Piše: Matej Bogataj Bere: Jure Franko Septembra umrlega španskega pripovednika Javierja Mariasa smo poznali predvsem po obširnih in stilistično izpiljenih romanih, v katerih so pretežno brezstrastni in jezikovno nadvse občutljivi prevajalci, filologi in podobni obvladovalci jezikavosti popisovali svoje življenje, v katerem se ni veliko dogajalo ali pa vsaj niso smeli o vsem spregovoriti, in so se potem ukvarjali z odvodi. Recimo s krivdo, ker so prešuštno spali z žensko, ki je medtem umrla in niso bili sposobni reagirati, se soočiti z morebitnimi obtožbami. Ali pa je šlo, kot v Berti Isli, za pripoved o tistih, ki svojo službo opravljajo tiho in čim bolj neopazno. Rutina zakonskega para, kjer ona nič ne ve o njegovem delu, ker ji zaradi priseg tajni službi ne more ničesar povedati, je spet tipičen primer pisanja, v katerem je več zamolčanega, kjer se resnica razkriva postopoma in še to delno, zakrivajoče, sprenevedajoče. Marias je napisal tudi drobno knjižico, potopis o Benetkah, ki jim grozi vse in to ves čas, industrija razjeda kamen, kanale poplavljajo visoke plime in otoki se ugrezajo v mulj, turizem je vse bolj invaziven, vendar je mesto na otokih za Mariasa mera stvari in po meri človeka. Tam je dva tedna celo služboval in v nasprotju z Josifom Brodskim in Predragom Matvejevićem, ki sta raziskovala predvsem skrite in večini nedostopne podrobnosti na ozadju pompozne in vsem poznane fasade, po kateri se pasejo turisti, je Marias v tem potopisu bolj skop, minimalističen. Mesta in njegovih prebivalcev, tudi kulturne zapuščine in družabljenja prebivalcev se loteva diskretno, v rokavicah tako rekoč, vse pa zato, da bi ohranil mesto čim bolj skrivnostno in skril ključe, s katerimi se mu je odprlo. Napisana življenja, ki so prvič izšla v začetku devetdesetih, so zbirka miniaturnih esejev, kolumn in zapisov o kolegih, o velikih pisateljih in pesnikih, ki so vsi tujci, vsi zelo slavni – in mrtvi. Marias je zbral obsežno gradivo, nekaj je dnevniške narave, nekaj je črpal iz biografskih in monografskih del, tudi izpisov iz kritik in včasih zajedljivih opazk kolegov. Vse je bogato opremljeno s fotografskim gradivom, večinoma izpred časov slave, in Marias priznava, da ga je zbiranje razglednic s portreti pisateljev včasih neizmerno zabavalo, zdaj pa gre z razgledničarsko kulturo očitno navzdol, in tako so zapisi o klasikih bogato opremljeni in podkrepljeni z raznovrstnimi faktičnimi podatki, ki so večinoma neznani, vsaj izven stroke, ki se ukvarja z življenjepisjem in usklajevanjem podobe kreativcev z njihovim delom. Dvajsetih pisateljev in šestih izrednih, pa vendar slovenskemu bralstvu manj znanih žensk, se loteva, kot bi bili literarni liki, kot bi bili njegov lastni izmislek. Marsikatere podrobnosti iz teh zapisov ne poznamo, tudi nekaj avtorjev je morda manj znanih in pričakovali bi katerega z vznemirljivo biografijo, kakršna je bila na primer Hemingwayeva, vendar je nabor kar reprezentativen: svoje mesto med napisanimi življenji so dobili Faulkner, Joyce, Henry James, Arthur Conan Doyle, Kipling in Robert Louis Stevenson, Nabokov in Thomas Mann, Rimbaud in Oscar Wilde. Gre torej za biografije, napisane na podlagi obsežno nabranega gradiva, pričevanj in izvlečkov. Tovrstno pisanje o slavnih je v tujini morda bolj pogosto, pri nas so ga nadomestili biografski romani, na primer Slodnjakova o Prešernu ali Levstiku, drugje pa se takšna stvarna literatura o uspešnih in včasih kontroverznih slavnih osebnostih očitno tudi prodaja. Marias v svojem pisanju upošteva vsa dejstva, vendar, kot nas opozarja tudi piska spremne besede Elide Pitarello, včasih tudi kaj dopiše, obrne kakšen podatek ali pa preprosto komentira značajske ali vidne poteze portretirancev na način, ki je izrazito oseben, torej pisateljski in subjektiven. Če nismo – in ker nismo – podrobni poznavalci pisateljskih življenj, so razlike včasih komaj opazne in Marias nas pred koncem, pred obširnim seznamom literature, iz katere je črpal, izziva, naj najdemo vsiljene ali po zakonih fikcije dopisane dele. Za tiste redke, recimo za Joycea, ki ga morda bolje poznamo zaradi bližine službovanja v mestih ob zalivu in zaradi nesrečnega izkrcanja in prečute noči na ljubljanski železniški postaji, kjer sta z ženo Noro izstopila prepričana, da sta že v Trstu, so Mariasovi posegi skoraj neopazni. Omenja Joyceovo ljubosumje in obsedenost z Norinimi spodnjicami, kar vse poznamo iz Pisem Nori, drastičnih premikov pa ni opaziti. Toliko bolj pa je opazna Mariasova pisateljska veščina, saj ob fotografijah podaja natančne in pogosto lucidne opazke o značajskih potezah, kakor so vidne navzven, v fiziognomiji, v držah, v drži rok ali oblačilih. Baudelairu recimo pripiše, da se mu ves čas mudi, da njegovo spogledovanje s kamero kaže prihajajočo hitrost življenja, ki jo je avtor Cvetja zla prerokoval in med prvimi tudi živel. Ob koncu Marias zapiše, da se je ob tem pisanju zabaval, in tako se konča tudi knjiga: s citatom iz korespondence med Flaubertom in Turgenjevom, da se sicer starata, vendar se kot starca poskušata vsaj zabavati. Napisana življenja so dobrohotno pisanje, napisano kot prenikava šala ob uradnih in slovesnih biografijah. Prepričuje nas o tistem, kar je v esejih z naslovom Nč bat o strahovih angleških in francoskih pisateljev zapisal tudi Julian Barnes: pisatelji niso bolj moralni, niso vedno in v vsem vidci, le pisati znajo bolje od drugih. Napisana življenja so imenitno branje za vse, ki jih zanimajo umetniki zasebno.

Mourning the loss of Spanish author Javier Marias, who leaves a legacy of superb novels; and we talk to DeMisty Bellinger whose novel, New to Liberty, about the American Dust Bowl and how it scars a Kansas community, is Unnamed Press's nomination for the 2022 Republic of Consciousness Prize.

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.

Der spanische Schriftsteller Javier Marías tot. Nach Angaben seines Verlages starb er am Sonntag im Alter von 70 Jahren in einem Krankenhaus in Madrid an den Folgen einer Lungenerkrankung. Spanien trauert um einen seiner produktivsten und bedeutendsten zeitgenössischen Schriftsteller. Ein Nachruf von Franka Welz aus dem ARD-Studio Madrid.

Spybrary's man in Station L (Northern Sector) author Andy Onyx slipped us this brush pass review of Javier Marias's thriller Your Face Tomorrow: Fever And Spear He shares why spy book readers will enjoy this modern spy novel. "Your Face Tomorrow by the Spanish novelist of note, Javier Maras. I say novelist of note because Maras has sold over 6 million copies of his works worldwide to date. In amongst, which is this spy fiction trilogy published between 2009 and 2017.  

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. Join and give!: https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/symphonyspacenyc?code=SplashpageSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Neste episódio, falamos do mais recente livro, “Lugar para dois”, do cine-concerto que está a construir e de como foi construir músicas para o romance. Miguel revela também detalhes do próximo livro, cuja apresentação vai ter não só música e literatura, mas sim as sete artes. Para o episódio, escolheu “Coração tão branco”, de um dos melhores ficcionistas espanhóis, Javier Marias; o livro “Princípio de Karenina”, de Afonso Cruz, a quem deixa muitos elogios; e “Conversas com Deus”, de Neal Donald Walsh.

Skąd się biorą zagraniczne książki na polskim rynku wydawniczym. Z wydawnictw to jasne, ale zanim redaktorzy naczelni umieszczą je w swoich planach wydawniczych musi odbyć się pewien proces nabycia tytułu i pozyskania licencji do wydania. To początek łańcucha wydawniczego i pierwszy etap pracy agenta, który reprezentuje agencję praw autorskich albo autora i jest odpowiedzialny za ewentualnie pozyskanie tytułu do wydania na rynku polskim. Agencji praw autorskich tytułów zagranicznych mamy w Polsce kilka. Jedną z nich jest Agencja Literacka Book Lab, która w tym roku świętuje jubileusz dwudziestopięciolecia. Jej przedstawicielem i naszym gościem w podcaście „Na Marginesach” jest agent literacki Piotr Wawrzeńczyk od dziesięciu lat związany z Book Labem, a dziś w agencji zajmuje stanowisko senior agenta. Jest absolwentem Instytutu Stosowanych Nauk Społecznych Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego o specjalizacji: negocjacje, mediacje, rozwiązywanie konfliktów. Jako agent literacki reprezentuje czołowych autorów, wydawnictwa i agencje literackie z całego świata, dzięki czemu światowy rynek praw autorskich nie ma przed nim tajemnic. Regularnie bierze udział w branżowych wydarzeniach (targach książki w Londynie, Frankfurcie). Uczestnik fellowshipów dla profesjonalistów z rynku wydawniczego w Jerozolimie (Izrael), Oslo (Norwegia), Stambule (Turcja), Szardży (Zjednoczone Emiraty Arabskie). Bywalec ogólnopolskich festiwali i lokalnych wydarzeń literackich. Swoje wieloletnie doświadczenie pracy z profesjonalistami i ekspertami w Polsce i zagranicą wykorzystuje także konsekwentnie budując listę polskich klientów, będąc ich agentem macierzystym. Autorzy zagraniczni, których książki reprezentuje to między innymi: Neil Gaiman, Maja Lunde, Mariana Enriquez, Martin Caparrós, Javier Marias, Merce Rodoreda, John Steinbeck, Lars Saabye Christensen, Roy Jacobsen i wielu innych. O ciężkiej, 24-godzinnej, ale jedynej i wyjątkowej pracy w agencji literackiej rozmawia z Hanną Mirską-Grudzińską.

“Düşünceler kendimize anlattığımız hikayelerdir.” Bireyin gerçekliği nerede başlar nerede biter? Ölüm fikrine, kaçtığımızı sandığımızdan çok daha yakın olabilir miyiz? Eksik Olan’da bu hafta Javier Marias’ın “Karasevdalılar” adlı romanını konu aldık.

Este é o podcast do PublishNews. Conversamos aqui, toda semana, com pessoas que fazem a diferença no mercado editorial e livreiro. O mercado editorial é resiliente. Prova disso é que, depois de encolher 25% ao longo de 13 anos, teve um bom ano em 2019. E conseguiu isso, quando estava enfrentando a crise de duas das suas principais varejistas! Mas daí, veio a pandemia e o mercado, novamente, vive um momento crítico. Sem suporte efetivo por parte de governos, o próprio mercado tem inventado alternativas e criado iniciativas para se apoiar neste momento sem precedentes na história recente do mundo. Hoje vamos falar sobre algumas destas iniciativas: +Livros que tem a base no Catarse, com o foco principal na comunidade editorial independente, ou seja, autores, editoras e livrarias de menor porte. E também temos o projeto Retomada das Livrarias, idealizada por Alexandre Martins Fontes e que vai ao auxílio das pequenas e micros livrarias, com os esforços conjuntos da CBL, ANL, SNEL e outros importantes players do mercado entre editoras, livrarias e distribuidoras. Para falar sobre os dois projetos hoje vamos conversar com Raíssa Pena, Diretora de Publicações no Catarse e Alexandre Martins Fontes, da Livraria Martins Fontes. e também temos a participação da Elisa Ventura, falando da campanha da Blooks https://benfeitoria.com/blooksresiste Esse podcast é um oferecimento da Metabooks , a melhor e mais moderna plataforma de metadados .

The Spanish novelist Javier Marías (b. 1951) has led a fascinating life, from his childhood as the son of a philosopher to his role as the king of a Caribbean island that has been ruled by a succession of writers. Marías’s philosophical novels have been translated into 42 languages and celebrated throughout Europe – and yet, as the New York Times Book Review noted, he remains largely unknown in America. Why is that? And what are Americans missing? Host Jacke Wilson is joined by Mike Palindrome, the President of the Literature Supporters Club and an ardent devotee of Javier Marías, to discuss Marías and his novel A Heart So White.  Show Notes:  Contact the host at jackewilsonauthor@gmail.com or by leaving a voicemail at 1-361-4WILSON (1-361-494-5766).  You can find more literary discussion at jackewilson.com and more episodes of the series at historyofliterature.com.

This week's podcast is a special combo version featuring two separate conversations: one between Chad, Stephen Sparks (BTBA judge, Green Apple bookseller, and excellent reviewer), and George Carroll; and one between Chad and Paul Yamazaki (legendary City Lights). Topics range from soccer to Karl Pohrt to Javier Marias to Jonathan Lethem to other books we're reading this summer. It's always great to hear from booksellers about what they're reading--they're more in touch with what's coming out than basically anyone. Additionally, it's always fun to give a bit more love to these two epically great bookstores. 

Presenter Vanessa Feltz and performance poet Elvis McGonagall argue passionately with presenter Harriett Gilbert about the much-loved books they've all brought along to recommend as Good Reads. Vanessa's choice is Two People by AA Milne. Elvis McGonagall recommends the Whitbread Prize winning Swing Hammer Swing! by Jeff Torrington. Presenter Harriett Gilbert brings along a Spanish novel, A Heart So White by Javier Marias, translated by Margaret Jull Costa. Producer Beth O'Dea

This week's podcast is a bit of a hodge-podge: We start out talking about the concept of selling used ebooks, then Tom gets to express his admiration for Javier Marias's new novel, The Infatuations, and Marias in general, and finally we talk about Houellebecq, which, as can only be expected, is controversial. Oh, and there is some talk about the NCAA Tournament. Naturally. 

Matthew Sweet talks to the Spanish novelist Javier Marias about his new book 'The Infatuations'. Night Waves takes stock of the man who sold the world as a new exhibition 'David Bowie is....' gets set to open at the Victoria and Albert Museum. And In another new book 'The Undivided Past' David Cannadine is looking beyond the supposed clash of religions, classes and civilisations and asks does a "History Beyond Our Differences" lead to confusion in the absence of polarised views?

So, it's been a while. Due to some technical difficulties, we haven't been able to post a podcast for the past few weeks. But thanks to the whizbang IT department at the University of Rochester, our 10,000 year old iMac is up and functioning again. Which means that 2013 can finally officially start--thanks to our preview podcast. This week, Tom Roberge and I discuss a bunch of 2013 books that we're excited about. Our preview includes everything from Javier Marias's latest, to 18% Gray (and the faux 18% Gray) to the new Laszlo Krashnahorkai to Yoko Ogawa's Revenge and Mo Yan's Sandalwood Death and, as always, is a mix of incisive literary observations and irreverence and soccer talk.

This month's World Book Club is brought to you from the Institute of Cervantes in London where Harriett Gilbert will be talking to bestselling Spanish writer Javier Marias about his prize-winning work A Heart So White. This acclaimed novel explores profoundly disturbing questions about the nature of knowledge, curiosity and truth itself. When the narrator Juan marries his sweetheart Luisa he is haunted by family secrets that cast their long shadow over his contentment and ponders the nature of secrecy – its convenience, its price – does he even want to know the truth he asks himself. In the company of a lively group of readers at the Spanish Cultural Centre Marias also playfully dispenses his wisdom on how to keep a marriage together and why pen and paper beats technology.

Sian Williams and John McCarthy with studio guest Edwina Currie reflecting on her public and personal life, two very different attitudes to burial from Mark Elliott and Wendii Miller, Spanish author Javier Marias who is the literary and literal king of the micronation Redonda, the pros and cons of procrastination from Steve Swift, Talitha MacKenzie on why her song caught on in Serbia, the musings of Mancunians and the Inheritance Tracks of Big Issue founder John Bird. Producer: Harry Parker.

Skuldkrisen i Europa har lett till stora och många folkliga protester. Krisens orsaker och vägen ur har många uttolkare. Men vems röster blir hörda och vad kommer krisen lämna efter sig? Sommaren 2011 uppmärksammade Spaniens proteströrelse stort. De indignerade, som de kallade sig, hämtade inspiration från den arabiska våren och protesterade mot politikernas oförmåga att göra något åt krisen. ”Det är som om ett snötäcke lagt sig över oss, och vi har tystnat" skrev Javier Marias, en av Spaniens mest kända författare, i en kolumn i vintras. Lotten Collin har återvänt till Spanien och mött Javier Marias i ett samtal om vad krisen gör med Spanien, spanjorerna och ett författarskap. ”Det finns anledning att tro på en bättre värld”, budskapet upprepas i en Coca-Cola reklam specialgjord för Portugal.
