Ravage & Son (Bellevue Literary Press, 2023) by Jerome Charyn is a novel set in the Lower East Side of New York City in the early years of the twentieth century when it was America's most crime-ridden and decadent neighborhood. Featuring an alluring cast of heroes, misfits, and monsters, Ravage & Son is part Jekyll and Hyde, part crime noir, part mystery novel, and ultimately an instant classic – a cinematic kaleidoscope that captures both the intense beauty and utter debauchery of humanity in this bygone era. At the heart of the novel is the menacing Lionel Ravage, a heartbroken powerbroker hell bent on making the world pay for the loss of his soul mate, and his illegitimate son Ben, a poor boy educated at Harvard who becomes a downtown detective for the Kehilla, a quasi-police force slapped with the responsibility of cleaning up the Lower East Side's layers of dirt and crime. The younger Ravage fights to protect, while his father yearns to burn it all to the ground. They share a deep wound and savage love that chains them together but is too agonizing to relive. Jerome Charyn's brilliance is in capturing the violence festering behind closed doors and in the streets as forces large and small work in unity to suck the marrow out of the Jewish neighborhood and its inhabitants. The author's magnificent sentence-by-sentence style is marked both by an intensity and sensitivity that makes the dark tale more human and humane. It is as if Charyn is at war with the past, fully committed to its darkness, but delivering a source of light through his unmatched voice, the essential narrative delivered in what he calls his “music.” With touches of magical realism and an aura of mysticism, Charyn turns the Lower East Side into a portal for looking at that era and our own. The author of more than 50 novels, biographies, histories, graphic novels, and collections, Charyn once proclaimed that his ultimate goal in writing novels has been “to make the reader cry...to break the reader's heart.” With its stunning, unforgettable portrayal of the forces of light and darkness, Ravage & Son delivers on the author's aim, presenting humanity in its fully formed depravity, but also capturing life's poignancy. The interview focuses on Ravage & Son, but Charyn and I discuss other aspects of his renowned career, including discussion of writing style, research, literary influences, and more. Charyn is arguably the most famous writer most readers have never heard of, a bestseller in France and other parts of Europe, and a true “writer's writer” who continues to publish acclaimed books while being lauded by major authors including Joyce Carol Oates, Michael Chabon, Don DeLillo, and a long list of others. He is a distinctive voice in American literary history. Bob Batchelor is an award-winning cultural historian and biographer. His latest books are Roadhouse Blues: Morrison, the Doors, and the Death Days of the Sixties and Stan Lee: A Life.

"The word is far more real than the world": Jerome Charyn rejoins the show to celebrate his new novel, RAVAGE & SON (Bellevue Literary Press), a fantastic noir about the Lower East Side in 1913. We talk about his love for the LES and the Bintel Briefs in The Forward, why he wanted to write a Jewish Jekyll & Hyde story, and how adopting a cat changed the course of this amazing novel. We also get into life on the page, the music of the sentence, and the self-revelation of writing, why so many of his characters attend Harvard, the holiness of books and why he reads so little of others' books nowadays, treating writing as an apprenticeship rather than a career, and how he got overwhelmed for a year after writing in Abe Lincoln's voice. Plus we discuss his reverence of Joyce Carol Oates and Cormac McCarthy (and ambivalence toward Henry James, who makes an appearance in Ravage & Son), the reason so many of his characters attend Harvard, the sense of being transported by the ballet performances of Allegra Kent, how it felt to write a character who's in love with destruction, why gender fluidity is essential to human nature, and the one advantage to living long enough: understanding that nothing remains and everything disappears.

JEROME CHARYN chats to Maxim Jakubowski (writer, editor, publisher, bookshop owner & critic) & Paul Burke about his new novel BIG RED, Hollywood the real capital of America, Rita Hayworth, Orson Welles, graphic novels, the essence of noir and the female Samson. BIG RED: NARRATED BY A STARRY-EYED LESBIAN, BIG RED REIMAGINES THE TRAGIC CAREER OF RITA HAYWORTH AND HER INDOMITABLE HUSBAND, ORSON WELLES.Set amidst the noir glamour of Hollywood's Golden Age, Big Red re-envisions the life of one of America's most enduring icons: Gilda herself, Rita Hayworth, whose fiery red hair and hypnotic dancing helped make her the quintessential movie star of the 1940s.With narrator Rusty Redburn - a feisty second-string gossip columnist from Kalamazoo tasked with spying on Hayworth by Columbia movie mogul Harry 'The Janitor' Cohn - as our guide, we follow the meteoric rise and heartrending demise of the actress, encountering her exploitative father, Eduardo; her controlling husband, 'boy genius' Orson Welles; and notorious journalist Louella Parsons, among many others. Mixing his trademark screwball comedy and unerring tragedy, Jerome Charyn, with his 'polymorphous imagination' (Jonathan Lethem) reanimates film classics such as Cover Girl, Gilda, and The Lady from Shanghai.An insightful, tender portrait of a seemingly halcyon age before blockbusters and film franchises, Big Red promises to consume both Hollywood cinephiles and neophytes alike.Jerome Charyn is the author of more than fifty works of fiction and nonfiction. Among other honors, he has received the Rosenthal Family Foundation Award for Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and his novels have been selected as finalists for the Firecracker Award and PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction.

I talk to Jerome Charyn, about his Book Big Red. Its fiction, but so much in non fiction. Our narrator is Rusty, a lesbian that just loves her some corduroy pants.  Harry Cohn Asks Rusty to become Rita's private secretary, but really to spy on Orson and Rita. True talk about their marriage, the making of The Lady From Shanghai, renting Errol Flynn's boat, his feelings about Orson and Rita, and her unhappy marriage to her second husband. We  also talk about Rita's early onset Alzheimers. So much good stuff. Book is fun and sad. Poor Rita.  We talked about Jeromes favorite movie..Citizen Kane, I don't agree that its the best, (I had to put up my dukes) but I don't know which movie is, its all relative..I personally HATE Gone With The Wind, and for a long time critics thought it was the best flick of all time.    Lots of Hollywood info and we never really got all the info on why Jerome does not think Classic Hollywood was "The Golden Age".     Thanks so much to Jerome. He was a delight. His author page https://www.amazon.com/Jerome-Charyn/e/B001H6WJVO?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1662568948&sr=1-1   Thanks mostly to the listeners! You Rule!!!

Author, critic and film scholar Jerome Charyn rejoins the show to celebrate his new book, BIG RED: A Novel Starring Rita Hayworth & Orson Welles (Liveright Books). We get into how Hollywood created Jerome's childhood & youth, his fascination with the tragic life of Rita Hayworth and her triumph of Gilda, his love of Orson Welles and Citizen Kane, and why he couldn't write this novel in either of their voices. We talk about genius in many guises, from Welles to Melville to Dickinson to Shakespeare to Robert Caro to LeBron, and what it means when genius dissipates. We also discuss Jerome's years teaching film criticism and why it was his favorite job (hint: it's about learning to look deeply), what the mirror scene in The Lady from Shanghai is really telling us, why Hank Quinlan in Touch of Evil may be Welles' greatest role, how Hemingway was the best writer in the world when he was in Paris and the worst writer in the world when he left Paris, whether his book editor (past guest Robert Weil) was touchy about how a film editor is one of Big Red's antagonists, why Kane was really about Welles himself & not William Randolph Hearst, why LeBron should have left Hollywood this offseason, the revelation of interviewing Paul Newman, and more!

Since he first appeared on the American literary scene, Jerome Charyn has dazzled readers with his “blunt, brilliantly crafted prose” With Big Red, Charyn reimagines the life of one of America's most enduring icons, “Gilda” herself, Rita Hayworth, whose fiery red tresses and hypnotic dancing graced the silver screen over sixty times in her nearly forty-year career. The quintessential movie star of the 1940s, Hayworth has long been objectified as a sex symbol, pin-up girl, and so-called Love Goddess. Reanimating such classic films as Gilda and The Lady from Shanghai, Big Red is a bittersweet paean to Hollywood's Golden Age, a tender yet honest portrait of a time before blockbusters and film franchises―one that promises to consume both Hollywood cinephiles and neophytes alike. Lauded for his “polymorphous imagination” (Jonathan Lethem), Charyn once again has created one of the most inventive novels in recent American literature.

Lectures : « Voir une femme » - Annemarie Schwarzenbach Préface de Nicolas Bouvier du recueil de poèmes « Douleur » - Valdimir Holan Avec les voix d'Olivia Csiky Trnka et Jean-Philippe Hoffman. Réalisé par Thomas Riaucourt. --- Metropolis évoque la civilisation urbaine propre à notre époque, l'ouverture à d'autres cultures, ses métissages. L'étymologie du nom renvoie aux profondeurs, aux entrailles de la ville. On retrouve aussi le féminin puisque metra signifie également matrice en grec. Le nom est bien sûr emprunté à Fritz Lang et son célèbre film des années 20, mais aussi à Jerome Charyn, dont nous avons publié un texte entièrement revu, et dans une nouvelle traduction. En 1986, deux ans avant la création des éditions, l'auteur publiait Metropolis, un hymne à sa ville natale New York. Grâce à une heureuse rencontre, Metropolis a été republié par les éditions Metropolis en août 2000. En Égypte ancienne, la déesse NOUT est considérée comme la voûte céleste. Le firmament est donc féminin dans la cosmologie égyptienne. Le choix de « NOUT » comme logo des éditions Metropolis est lié à un passé féministe qui retrouve dans la déesse la part des femmes dans la mythologie ancienne et dans l'histoire. www.editionsmetropolis.com

In this episode, we celebrate the Fall Classic with a show devoted to Hemingway and baseball. First, we welcome scholar Sharon Hamilton to discuss the 1919 Black Sox scandal, how it affected Hemingway, and the legacy that World Series and the trial had on society and sports.We then have a conversation with David Martens and Joshua Robinson, who recall their experiences investigating Gigi's All-Stars, the baseball team of Cuban youngsters that Hemingway formed to occupy his youngest son, Gregory. (We include a clip of the audio from one of the All-Stars, the legendary Cayuco "Jonronero"!)And finally, we consider the role of Joe DiMaggio in The Old Man and the Sea with his biographer, Jerome Charyn. Why was Santiago drawn to the Yankee centerfielder, and why did DiMaggio become the perfect literary symbol for Hemingway?Grab some peanuts and Cracker Jack and enjoy these four fascinating guests talkin' baseball! 

Think there is a sharp dividing line between biography and biographical fiction? Jerome Charyn disagrees.

With his amazing new novel, Sergeant Salinger (Bellevue Literary Press), Jerome Charyn evokes and explores J.D. Salinger's WWII experience in the Counter Intelligence Corps. We talk about Jerome's history with Salinger's work, his disdain for The Catcher in the Rye and his love of Nine Stories and their depiction of NYC of the 1940s and early '50s, the range of meanings and misunderstandings of Salinger's later silence, and Jerome's own terror of writing. Along the way, we get into Jerome's ventriloquism in his historical fiction, the limits of his artistic audacity, and whether he'd write a pastiche of Hemingway now that Hem's in public domain. Jerome being Jerome, we also discuss ping-pong, professional basketball, the older Michael Jordan as a Shakespearean character, and why he's writing a big essay about Mank.

Une nouvelle bande dessinée avec François Boucq et un douzième roman des aventures d'Isaac Sidel. En cette rentrée de septembre 2020, l'actualité de Jerome Charyn est en ébullition. Un président des États-Unis surnommé «Belles Couilles», qui se balade en permanence, un pistolet à la ceinture. Ou bien encore des rescapés du goulag devenus tatoueurs de talent, ou cheffe de gang buveuse de sang. Des mercenaires, des faussaires, des anciens agents israéliens, une femme flic culturiste bourrée de stéroïdes et un cul-de-jatte agile comme un singe, et pourtant surnommé l’Albatros. Voilà quelques-uns des personnages inventés par Jerome Charyn et François Boucq. Six ans après «Little Tulip», le duo présente «New York Cannibals», aux éditions du Lombard. Et simultanément, Jerome Charyn sort en France la dernière aventure de son héros fétiche Isaac Sidel. «Avis de grand froid» est publié aux éditions Rivages.

With My Young Life (Simon & Schuster), Frederic Tuten had to get over his notion that memoir is a cheap shot in order to look back at the beginning of a career in writing, teaching, and art criticism in the New York of the 1940s, '50s, and '60s. We get into what started him on this book, how he's haunted by his childhood in the Bronx, his emphasis on quality over quantity in literary output (while coping with the cautionary example of his writing teacher, Leonard Ehrlich, who only published a single, well-acclaimed novel), his mentorship by artist and convicted murderer John Resko, the joys of cafe culture (and his favorite haunt, Cafe Mogador), and how he got two-timed by "the Elizabeth Taylor of the Bronx" with Jerome Charyn. We also lament today's celebration of the mundane, celebrate his friendships with Herge, Lichtenstein, Resnais and Queneau, and talk about the books he wants loaded in his casket when he dies, the great allure of Juan Rulfo's sole book, Pedro Paramo, why future pod-guest Iris Smyles' first novel is better than F. Scott Fitzgerald's first novel, how fact-checker Anne Stringfield corrected some virtual memories in My Young Life, how poverty shaped his later life, what he learned from sobriety, Gaugin and The Magic Mountain, and plenty more! • More info at our site • Support The Virtual Memories Show via Patreon or Paypal

On the latest stop on his blog tour, author Jerome Charyn joins the show to talk about his new novel, The Perilous Adventures of the Cowboy King: A Novel of Teddy Roosevelt and His Times (Liveright Publishing). We get into the image that inspired the book, the challenges & rewards of historical fiction, and the quest to separate Teddy Roosevelt's myth from his story. Along the way, we get into ping pong, whether LeBron James should have gone somewhere besides LA, the magic of Allegra Kent & Balanchine, the loneliness of Van Gogh's garret, the joy of collaborating on graphic novels, and the miracle of Jerome becoming a writer. • More info at our site, where you can enter to win a free copy of Jerome's new book! • Check out the rest of the blog tour in support of The Perilous Adventures of the Cowboy King! • Support The Virtual Memories Show via Patreon or Paypal

They begin with David B.'s Hasib and the Queen of Serpents: A Tale of a Thousand and One Nights (NBM Publishing), an incredible adaptation of one of the tales in the classic work. The guys point out the attention-gragging handling of Scheherazade "Queen of Serpents" story, but what stands out in this text is David B.'s illustrations, colors, and design. The creator is able both to translate the story into comics with much fidelity and to give the tale his own spin that is recognizable to any fan of David B.'s work (Epileptic is a case in point). Next, Derek and Pascal jump into Alejandro Jodorowsky and Francois Boucq's Moon Face(Humanoids). This isn't the first time that this creative team has been discussed on the podcast, the first time being the December 2016 showwith Bouncer (and, with Boucq, his work with Jerome Charyn). The guys spend a lot of time discussing the wild ride of Jodorowsky's story -- and this as a defining characteristic throughout much of his oeuvre. It is all over the place, yet compelling. But one of the things that marks Moon Faceis Boucq's art. While readers can appreciate Jodorowsky's writing, it is Boucq who stands out, arguably as the biggest strength in this text.

First they discuss three collaborations with François Boucq: Little Tulip, Billy Budd, KGB, and The Magician's Wife. These were originally published in French between 1987 and 2014, but they've been available in English translations over the past seventeen months (the most recent, Little Tulip, coming out this past December). They also explore The Boys of Sheriff Street, Charyn's project with Jacques de Loustal that was translated and published by Dover in July 2016. Over the course of their conversation Derek and Edward investigate Charyn's methods of storytelling, finding similarities and thematic links among the four titles, and they discuss the different ways in which Boucq's and Loustal's styles bring different resonances to their respective narratives.

Tom Teicholz, author of Being There: Journalism 1978-2000, in conversation with Jerome Charyn, author of the upcoming novel Jerzy.

Sep. 5, 2015. Jerome Charyn discusses "Bitter Bronx: Thirteen Stories" at the 2015 Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. Speaker Biography: During his career, prolific author Jerome Charyn has published approximately 50 works ranging from novels and memoirs to plays and graphic novels. He has received numerous awards and was named Commander of Arts and Letters by the French Minister of Culture. Born in Bronx, New York, Charyn read many comic books as a child, which influenced his later work in the genre and helped him learn how to read. His works often chronicle real or imagined American life, such as in his novel "The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson" and his newest book, "Bitter Bronx: Thirteen Stories."
