Laura Marzi"Stelle cadenti"Mondadori Editorewww.mondadori.itTorino, 1993. Ludovica e suo fratello Edoardo frequentano il liceo, vivono in una casa piena di begli oggetti, libri e opere d'arte, indossano vestiti di marca e hanno fiducia nel futuro. Sono figli di Arturo Montella, segretario regionale della Democrazia Cristiana, un uomo affascinante e carismatico la cui aura aleggia su di loro anche quando è assente. Credono nelle vite lucenti dei genitori – stelle che brillano lontane -, nella loro cultura, nella stabilità e nel benessere che incarnano. Poi, un giorno, Arturo Montella viene arrestato. I ragazzi scoprono dalla televisione che il padre è coinvolto nell'inchiesta Mani pulite: è accusato di corruzione e finanziamento illecito al partito. Il perno su cui si reggeva la famiglia Montella crolla da un giorno all'altro: mentre il padre è in carcere e la madre si adopera in ogni modo per tirarlo fuori, Ludovica e Edoardo rimangono soli e senza punti di riferimento, combattuti tra la vergogna e la rabbia. L'unico estraneo ammesso nel limbo di casa Montella è Tommaso, il miglior amico di Edoardo. E in quella bolla di tempo sospeso lui e Ludovica si scoprono attratti l'uno dall'altra. Ma Ludo sa che se il fratello indovinasse il sentimento che le esplode nel petto, rischierebbe di perdere anche lui. All'inizio di questa storia, che la segue fino all'età adulta, Ludovica non ha ancora diciott'anni, ma l'impatto destinato a deviare per sempre la traiettoria della sua vita è già avvenuto. Dopo aver dedicato il suo primo libro al mondo della scuola, Laura Marzi si addentra ora, con lo sguardo obliquo e profondo della romanziera, in un momento della storia italiana recente, gli anni Novanta di Tangentopoli, che ha segnato la fine di un'epoca, e lo racconta dalla prospettiva di chi alla caduta di quella classe politica ha assistito dal basso e ne ha raccolto i detriti: la generazione dei figli.Laura Marzi ha un dottorato in Studi di Genere conseguito all'università “Paris 8”. Scrive per “il manifesto” e “LetterateMagazine” e traduce dall'inglese e dal francese. Vive a Roma. Nel 2022 ha esordito per Mondadori con il romanzo La materia alternativa, vincitore del premio Minerva e del premio John Fante per l'opera prima.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

¿Qué sería de la industria del libro sin los libreros y libreras? ¿Sin esos emprendedores y emprendedoras que arriesgan sus cuartos para que podemos tener los mejores escaparates y asesoramientos bibliográficos?  El libro necesita de buenas librerías y hoy visitan la Biblioteca de Hoy por Hoy dos de las mejores, Letras Corsarias de Salamanca que ha sido elegida la mejor de 2024 en España. En su nombre nos hablará Antonio Marcos, uno de sus corsarios. Y de Madrid nos llega la librera Laura Riñón de "Amapolas en octubre". Ella era azafata y soñadora de altos vuelos. Entre sus sueños tener un día una librería y desde hace seis años la tiene y es de las mejores de la capital. Con ellos hemos hablado de libro, de muchos libros, y de lectores que son los que a ellos le dan la vida. Entre los libros que nos han donado están 'La sra Dalloway' de Virginia Woolf (Penguin clásicos) , 'El amor en tiempos del cólera' de Gabriel García Márquez (DeBolsillo), donaciones de Laura Riñón,  y Antonio Marcos nos ha dejado en nuestros anaqueles 'Necrosfera' de César Martín Ortiz (Baile del sol) y  'La hermandad de la uva' John Fante (Anagrama). Pero es que además nos han dejado los libros de sus escaparates. En "Amapolas en octubre"  tienen 'James" de Percival Everett (De Conatus), 'Las aguas' de  Bonnie Jo Campbell (Dirty Works) , 'Amada y perdida' de Susan Boyt (Muñeca infinita) , 'Diarios del olvido' de Deleste y 'Las luces azules' de Jennifer Johnston (Automática). Y en el escaparate de "Letras corsarias" 'A toda brida' de Kathryn Scanlan (Errata Naturae), 'Las ocasiones' de Ruben Lardin (Fulgencio Pimentel), 'Lloro porque no tengo sentimientos' de Bárbara Mingo (La navaja Suiza) y 'Cartas a Vicent' de Julio César Pérez (Libros del zorro rojo) .     Nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio, muy picado por la presencia de los libreros, nos trajo 5 libros ideales  para regalar: 'Grandes amores. Veinte parejas inolvidables de la literatura' de Espido Freire e ilustrato por Antono Lorente (Edelvives) , 'Visión de Nueva York' de Carmen Martín Gaite (Siruela), 'En el corazón del bosque' de Lomig (Errata Naturae) , 'Las mil noches y una noche" (A partir de una versión inglesa de Sir Richard Burton) (Reino de Cordelia) y  'Palomar' (1 y 2) de Beto Hernández (La Cúpula). Las primeras novedades del año las trajo Pepe Rubio y fueron 'La Ilíada a la hora del aperitivo' de Giovanni Nucci (Siruela) y 'Que tenga una casa' de Florencia Del Campo (Candaya). Eva Cruz rescató un libro abandonado sobre un armario de la redacción de la SER, una joya titulada  'Quino inédito' de Quino, editado por Lumen, que recoge viñetas menos conocidas del ilustrador y humorista argentino que no solo creó a Mafalda , aunque la fama de esta ocultara el resto de su obra. También Antonio Martínez Asensio nos trajo los  libros de sus programas  'Un libro una hora' y ' Un autor en una hora'  : 'El baile" de Irene Nemirovski (Salamandra)  y  'Caperucita en Manhattan' de Carmen Martín Gaite (Siruela) en ' un libro una hora. Y Antonio Machado en 'Un autor en una hora' . Y finalmente las donaciones de los oyentes: 'Cuentos de la Alhambra"  de Washington Irving (Espasa), 'Una historia propia' de Donna León (Seix Barral)  y 'La piedra lunar' de Wilkie Collins (Belacqua) .

El simple movimiento de la vida es el amor. Es una idea que se repite en 'Raíz dulce', el poemario con el que hoy ha ganado el Premio El Ojo Crítico de Poesía Juan F. Rivero. Un libro extraordinario y que ustedes, si no lo han hecho ya, leerán como una novela. La historia del paso de la adolescencia a la edad adulta a través del trauma de la muerte de aquellos a quienes queremos, así puede leerse 'Raíz dulce', que edita Candaya. Incluso en sus partes más aparentemente realizadas de pura prosa, en esas partes, también hay una métrica perfectamente contada. 'Raiz dulce', dice el jurado, es capaz de aunar memoria histórica con personal, tradición y vanguardia, recoger a Claudio Rodríguez o poesía china. Laura Fernández viene a hablar Eve Babitz y Los Ángeles. De Eve Babitz, y la literatura de Los Ángeles. Porque ya sabéis que es muy fan de John Fante, que básicamente situó Los Ángeles en el mapa literario, creando, en los años 30 del siglo pasado, a Arturo Bandini, el escritor con más pasión de la historia, y también con menos lectores de la historia.El teatro del Premio Nobel de Literatura Jon Fosse viene del nórdico frío, pero se ocupa de nuestra cálida fragilidad contemporánea, de las grandes preocupaciones del ser humano. Lo podemos ver en "Viento Fuerte", su última obra, que se estrena el próximo jueves en el Teatro Español, en Madrid, bajo la dirección de José María Esbec.Escuchar audio

"Le Classico" de Sébastien Ministru : "Bandini" de John Fante. Bon et méchant, généreux et voleur, Arturo Bandini détruit d'une main ce qu'il construit de l'autre. Dans son roman de jeunesse devenu culte, Fante a versé toutes les frustrations de l'enfance. Et à l'instar de son père maçon, impuissant devant la rudesse de l'hiver qui l'empêche de travailler, le jeune Bandini assiste, résigné, à l'implosion du couple parental. Spéciale James Cameron, le réalisateur canadien de Terminator (1984), Aliens (1986), Titanic (1997) et Avatar (2009) à l'occasion de l'exposition « L'Art de James Cameron », à voir à la Cinémathèque française à Paris jusqu'au 5 janvier 2025. On en parle avec Dick Tomasovic, chargé de cours en histoire et esthétique du cinéma et des arts du spectacle à l'ULg. Quand James Cameron a sorti son premier long-métrage, Terminator, en 1984, le monde a vu débarquer un talent unique qui allait faire voler en éclats le statu quo cinématographique pour les années à venir. Au cours des décennies qui ont suivi, ce cinéaste méthodique et exigeant a réalisé une série de blockbusters qui a dominé le box-office et marqué la pop culture de son empreinte. Réputés pour leurs effets visuels à la pointe de la technologie, ces films ont repoussé les limites de ce que les spectateurs croyaient possible ; pourtant, les idées de Cameron sont nées dans les pages de ses carnets à dessin d'enfant. « L'Art de James Cameron » montre comment les thèmes et les motifs clés de son œuvre ont évolué à partir de ces premières esquisses, jusqu'à trouver une expression ultime dans des plans de cinéma iconiques. Cette évolution a été ardue et difficile. Tout au long de sa carrière, l'immense imagination de Cameron s'est souvent heurtée aux contraintes de la technologie existante, à tel point que le réalisateur a dû piloter un certain nombre d'innovations pour pouvoir donner vie à ses visions. Son infatigable créativité nous a donc offert des films marquants, comme Aliens (1986), Titanic (1997) et Avatar (2009), tout en révolutionnant le cinéma grâce à ses efforts répétés pour repousser toujours plus loin la limite des effets spéciaux. "Inspiré de faits réels" de Franck Istasse : Le film « 200.000 dollars en cavale », un film réalisé par Roger Spottiswoode et qui s'inspire de l'histoire de D. B. Cooper qui a détourné un avion de ligne pour obtenir une rançon de 200.000 dollars, et une fois ses dollars en poche, il a sauté de l'avion en parachute et a disparu dans la nature. Le talk-show culturel de Jérôme Colin. Avec, dès 11h30, La Bagarre dans la Discothèque, un jeu musical complétement décalé où la créativité et la mauvaise foi font loi. À partir de midi, avec une belle bande de chroniqueurs, ils explorent ensemble tous les pans de la culture belge et internationale sans sacralisation, pour découvrir avec simplicité, passion et humour.

Con i tormentoni, recenti e passati, di Sanremo ancora in testa oggi partiamo da una canzone di Dargen D'Amico (“Dove si balla”) per parlare dei terremoti e dei vulcani (anche metaforici) che fanno capolino in libri, saggi e poesie. Si parte con Paolo Rumiz e si conclude con Achille Campanile passando per Heinrich von Kieist, Tiffany Watt Smith, Vamba, Giacomo Leopardi, Alberto Angela, John Fante, Emily Dickinson e l'immancabile Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Per scoprire poi che le calamità naturali sono preferibili al fanatismo dell'uomo e che quando sei un vulcano ed erutti, rischi di fare una figuraccia.

I read the first few pages from George V. Higgins' The Friends of Eddie Coyle and John Fante's Wait Until Spring, Bandini.

Sandro Frizziero"Il bene che ti voglio"Mondadori Editorehttps://mondadori.itÈ la vigilia di Natale e Alessio Gorgosalice si affretta sul vialetto di Villa della Pace, la residenza per anziani in cui vive nonna Armida. Ha bisogno di parlare con lei. Non che si aspetti grandi risposte: la demenza senile le consente a stento di riconoscere chi ha davanti. Ma il suo obiettivo, forse, è un altro. Alessio ha poco più di trent'anni, fa l'assicuratore e ha una vita estremamente regolare.È sposato con Isabella e insieme abitano in una villetta a schiera acquistata grazie all'aiuto del suocero e scrupolosamente arredata coi mobili prodotti in serie da un “mobilificio incapannonato al centro della campagna, una specie di microcosmo in miniatura, un'epitome di mondo, un museo della creazione”. Ogni giorno Isabella, ingegnere che si occupa di progettare e collaudare impianti, una mente votata ai calcoli e alle previsioni, gli prepara un pasto sano da portarsi al lavoro, che Alessio accetta con un sorriso. Ma sotto la superficie levigata di una vita come tante – il matrimonio, il desiderio di paternità, la dedizione al lavoro – fremono istinti selvaggi, risvegliati dalla relazione extraconiugale che Alessio intrattiene con Barbara. La recita che è sempre stata la sua vita si è incrinata in modo irreparabile e in lui stanno esondando pulsioni impossibili da arginare. Con una voce brillante, complessa, divertita e fantasiosamente ipertestuale, il narratore segue il magma dei pensieri di Alessio negli abissi dell'introspezione per poi andare a stanare tutti gli altri personaggi fino ad assumerne il punto di vista. Una scrittura unica, raffinata e ironica, quella di Sandro Frizziero, che si è imposta fin dal suo esordio Confessioni di un Neet. Finalista al Campiello 2020 con Sommersione, torna ora con un romanzo che coniuga raffinatezza di stile, causticità di sguardo e liricità.Sandro Frizziero è nato a Chioggia nel 1987. Ha esordito nel 2018 con Confessioni di un Neet, edito da Fazi, finalista al premio John Fante 2019. Nel 2020 ha pubblicato Sommersione (Fazi), classificato secondo al premio Campiello.

Não, não somos primos :) E, apesar de conhecer o Fernando há anos, não lhe conhecia esta faceta de leitor, que me faz sentir que valeu a pena criar este projecto. Leitor ávido, o Fernando também sofre de "Tsundoku" (aqui podíamos ser primos), tem milhares de livros em casa e diz que ler quebra a solidão. Adorei esta frase e a conversa, que convido a ouvirem, até porque o Fernando faz um anúncio aqui em 1ªmão. As leituras que este comunicador referiu (entre imensas outras referências): A Sul de Nenhum Norte, Bukowski; Crónicas "O Homem Fatal", Nelson Rodrigues; Enciclopédia da Estória Universal, Afonso Cruz; Crónicas da Clarice Lispector. Referi o livro da Rita Fernandes, ilustrações Sara Peres: "Conta-me uma história"; Ofereci: Pergunta ao Pó, John Fante.

Vandaag hebben we het over perfectionisme. Wanneer je niet alleen iets goed wil doen, maar het vooral ook goed moet doen. Via voorbeelden van perfectionisme uit Sonja's leven en de verwarring van Thijs over waarom hij voorheen zo bang was om fouten te maken terwijl dat nu niet meer speelt (wat is er gebeurd?!) onderzoeken we een aantal zijtakken. We kijken naar de uitwassen zoals faalangst en burn-out en zoeken naar mogelijke oorzaken. Daarnaast komt keuzestress voorbij, de angst voor consequenties en hoe tijdens een depressie deze mechaniek in de overdrive kan gaan. Een aflevering waar Sonja en Thijs zelf ook weer wat van opsteken. Show notes:

Daniele Mencarelli"Sempre tornare"Mondadori Editorehttps://www.mondadori.it/Scrittori in Città, Cuneo"Tornare a casa"Domenica 21 novembre 2021, ore 18:00con Daniele Mencarelli e Matteo Corradinihttp://www.scrittorincitta.it/ È l'estate del 1991, Daniele ha diciassette anni e questa è la sua prima vacanza da solo con gli amici. Due settimane lontano da casa, da vivere al massimo tra spiagge, discoteche, alcol e ragazze. Ma c'è qualcosa con cui non ha fatto i conti: se stesso. È sufficiente un piccolo inconveniente nella notte di Ferragosto perché Daniele decida di abbandonare il gruppo e continuare il viaggio a piedi, da solo, dalla Riviera Romagnola in direzione Roma. Libero dalle distrazioni e dalle recite sociali, offrendosi senza difese alla bellezza della natura, che lo riempie di gioia e tormento al tempo stesso, forse riuscirà a comprendere la ragione dell'inquietudine che da sempre lo punge e lo sollecita. In compagnia di una valigia pesante come un blocco di marmo, Daniele si mette in cammino, costretto a vincere la propria timidezza per chiedere aiuto alle persone che incontra lungo il tragitto: qualcosa da mangiare, un posto in cui trascorrere la notte.Troverà chi è logorato dalla solitudine ma ancora capace di slanci, chi si affaccia su un abisso di follia, sconfitti dalla vita, prepotenti inguaribili. E incontrerà l'amore, negli occhi azzurri di Emma. Ma soprattutto Daniele incontrerà se stesso, in un fitto dialogo silenzioso in cui interpreta e interroga senza sosta ciò che gli accade, con l'urgenza di divorare il mondo che si ha a diciassette anni, di comprendere ogni cosa e, su tutto, noi stessi: misurare le nostre forze, sapere di cosa siamo fatti, cosa può entusiasmarci e cosa spegnerci per sempre. Questo viaggio lo battezzerà infine all'arte più grande di tutte. L'arte dell'incontro. Daniele Mencarelli ha scritto un romanzo vitale, picaresco e intimo, che ha dentro il sole di un'estate in cammino lungo l'Italia, l'energia impaziente dell'adolescenza e la lingua calibratissima e potente di uno scrittore al massimo della sua forma.Daniele Mencarelli è nato a Roma nel 1974. Vive ad Ariccia. È poeta e narratore. La sua ultima raccolta è Tempo circolare (poesie 2019-1997), Pequod, 2019. Del 2018 è il suo primo romanzo La casa degli sguardi, Mondadori (premio Volponi, premio Severino Cesari opera prima, premio John Fante opera prima). Tutto chiede salvezza, il suo secondo romanzo, è uscito nel 2020 e ha vinto il premio Strega Giovani. Con Sempre tornare si chiude un'ideale trilogia autobiografica iniziata con La casa degli sguardi.

Giovanna Di Lello"John Fante Festival"https://www.johnfante.org/Dal 19 al 22 agosto a Torricella Peligna in Abruzzo torna il JOHN FANTE FESTIVAL “Il dio di mio padre”, diretto da Giovanna Di Lello, giunto alla sua XVI edizione. La manifestazione, fin dalla prima edizione, è organizzata dal Comune di Torricella Peligna per ricordare e omaggiare lo scrittore americano John Fante (1909-1983), il cui padre Nicola era un muratore originario proprio di questo piccolo paese abruzzese. Quest'anno il Festival sarà di nuovo in presenza, per tutti gli eventi, con posti contingentati e regolati in base alla normativa anti-covid. Tra gli ospiti di questa edizione che compie 16 anni e che ha come tema il rapporto tra Fante e gli USA, Andrea Purgatori, Franco Arminio, Concita de Gregorio e l'americana Virginia Jewiss italianista della Yale University, traduttrice negli USA della scrittrice Premio Strega Melania Mazzuzzo e di Roberto Saviano - ha curato anche la traduzione della sceneggiatura del film “This must be the place” di Paolo Sorrentino -, protagonista di un evento intitolato “Dante ringiovanito: La Divina Commedia per piccoli lettori”. Tra gli ospiti anche Fabrizio Gatti, vincitore del Premio alla carriera John Fante Vini Contesa 2021.Una delle serate sarà dedicata, come sempre, all'annuncio e alla premiazione del vincitore del Premio John Fante Opera Prima: parteciperà la terna finalista composta da Alice Urciuolo, autrice di Adorazione (66thand2nd), Barbara Frandino, autrice di È quello che ti meriti (Einaudi), Marcello Domini, Di guerra e di noi (Marsilio) scelti dalla Giuria dei letterati: Maria Ida Gaeta (presidente), Tommaso D'Amico, Claudia Durastanti, Nadia Terranova. John Fante Festival: “Il dio di mio padre” si inserisce nel progetto condiviso “Piazza Dante. #Festivalinrete” che unisce quarantaquattro Festival di approfondimento culturale italiani. Sostenuto dal Comitato Nazionale per le celebrazioni dantesche istituito dal Mibact, “Piazza Dante. #Festivalinrete” è una delle più importanti iniziative che nel 2021 renderanno omaggio a Dante Alighieri in occasione dei settecento anni dalla morte. Da nord a sud in un viaggio geografico e culturale che attraverserà tutte le regioni italiane toccando le grandi città e i piccoli centri, il progetto testimonia l'amore del nostro Paese per la straordinaria opera di Dante Alighieri, dando vita a un racconto tutto italiano che animerà le piazze (fisiche e virtuali: https://www.piazzadante.org/ ). Ogni festival proporrà all'interno della propria programmazione 2021 uno o più eventi dedicati a Dante, ideati e modulati secondo la propria vocazione, generando un programma variegato e differenziato ma condiviso. Il risultato è la creazione di una sinergia di proposte che permette di unire le esperienze dei tanti festival sparsi sulla Penisola e di creare un modello di condivisione e di “rete”.In questo ambito John Fante Festival “Il dio di mio padre” si occuperà della letteratura per bambini ispirata a Dante. Ha inoltre collaborato all'evento “Casa Dante” dell'Associazione Amici della Musica Fedele Fenaroli di Lanciano, organizzata nell'ambito della manifestazione #500Festival. Lo spettacolo si svolgerà domenica 1° agosto, alle ore 21, al Parco delle Arti Musicali, Torri Montanare, Largo dell'Appello, 2, Lanciano. “Cammini per Bunker Hill e scuoti il pugno per aria, ma io so a cosa stai pensando, Bandini. Sono gli stessi pensieri che ha avuto tuo padre prima di te, ed è come una sferzata in mezzo alla schiena, come un'esplosione nella testa. Non è colpa tua, ecco cosa pensi, tu sei nato povero, figlio di contadini miserabili, la tua città natale ti ha respinto perché eri povero, costringendoti ad andare ramingo per le strade di Los Angeles e, siccome sei povero, speri di scrivere un libro che ti faccia diventare ricco, così quelli che ti odiavano, laggiù nel Colorado, ti ameranno. Sei un vigliacco, Bandini, tradisci la tua anima e menti davanti a Cristo soffrente. Ecco perché scrivi, ecco perché sarebbe meglio che fossi morto".

In LitCast 28 translator and journalist Tomáš Hučko talks to Julia Sherwood about what made him co-found the monthly Kapitál, about championing socially engaged writing and political comic books, about the most popular Slovak children’s books since 1989 as well as the joys and challenges of translating John Fante, Henry David Thoreau and John Steinbeck. He has plenty of suggestions of books by Slovak authors that might be worth translating into English, and recommends taking a fresh look at some interwar communist writers.

Å lese om rufsete forfattere i California var ikke det verden var mest opptatt av i 1939. Mens verdenskrigen sto for døra, ga John Fante ut romanen Spør støvet (Ask the dust), om Arturo Bandinis tapre forsøk på å leve forfatterdrømmen i Los Angeles. Senere generasjoner har oppdaget John Fantes forfatterskap, ikke minst takket være Charles Bukowski. Tomas Gustafsson er en av leserne. Og ja: Filmen av Pedro Almodovar som Åsmund Ådnøy ikke husket navnet på i denne episoden, heter Smerte og ære (Pain and glory).

Clark Staub had a completely different life before establishing Full of Life Flatbread in Los Alamos nearly two decades ago. He worked from being a humble record store clerk to becoming the Vice President of Marketing at Capitol Records — plus there was a stint in Vermont working for Burton Snowboards. But he was always really into bread, which led him to start his own place in the little-known town on California’s Central Coast. Since then, Los Alamos has become a top-flight culinary destination, with a population of just 1,600 and 12 restaurants, if you count the Subway inside the gas station. Clark talks about snowboarding, cookbooks, and Radiohead, as well as letting go of good ideas. Note: the book Clark named his restaurant after is called Full of Life by John Fante.

The final Arturo Bandini novel. We take a look at the rediscovery of John Fante and Arturo Bandini, the events Fante chose to reflect in his final novel, and the remarkable circumstances in which he wrote it.

The legendary third Arturo Bandini novel. We take a look at how John Fante's iconic novel helped Robert Towne write Chinatown, was nearly forgotten forever thanks to Adolf Hitler, and was brought back to life by Fante superfan Charles Bukowski.

The second Arturo Bandini novel was actually the first of the four written. We take a look at The Road To Los Angeles, including John Fante's prolonged attempt to write his first novel, where it came from, and why it didn't see publication until after his death.

The world's first introduction to Arturo Bandini and the first episode of Dust On The Road. We take a look at John Fante's debut novel, the failures and successes that led to it's writing, and the similarities with John Fante's own childhood.

The book that inspired Bukowski sees young writer Arturo Bandini trying to make it in LA. Of course he meets a girl. Of course he's arrogant and refers to himself in the third person, but will Haj hate Bandini as much as Chinaski? This is a quick read, so get through it and have a listen!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-dabblers-book-club. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

No, no estamos hablando de quienes conducen el programa, aunque se entiende la confusión, sino de Francis Scott Fitzgerald y John Fante; escritores conocidos por escribir sobre las personas que nunca la ven llegar y que, de manera paradójica, también discurrieron sus vidas por la senda del fracaso.

Italienisches Ambiente in der deutschen Radiolandschaft. "Radio Colonia" sendet jeden Abend von Montag bis Freitag für Italienerinnen und Italiener in Deutschland und für Italienfans. Aktuelles aus Politik, Kultur und Gesellschaft. Wir widmen uns insbesondere der italienischen Community in Deutschland. Radio Colonia, la finestra italiana nel panorama radiofonico tedesco, va in onda tutti i giorni dal lunedì al venerdì per gli italiani in Germania e per tutti gli amanti del Belpaese. Al centro del programma anche l'attualità dal mondo politico, culturale e sociale tedesco, il tutto con un occhio di riguardo per la comunità italiana in Germania, per le sue storie e i suoi problemi.

Allarme in Germania, i raccolti sono sotto la media stagionale. E in alcune regioni italiane la siccità si alterna a bombe d'acqua e provoca ancora più danni, come ci spiega un esperto di Coldiretti. Di strategie per contrastare quest'evoluzione parliamo con Riccardo Valentini, professore di ecologia dei sistemi agroambientali. John Fante è considerato uno dei maggiori scrittori americani del Novecento: lo ricordano un nuovo libro e un festival in Abruzzo, terra dei suoi avi.

Giovanna Di Lello"Dalla parte di John Fante"Scritti e testimonianzeGiovanna Di Lello e Toni RicciardiCarocci Editorehttp://www.carocci.it/Questa storia ebbe inizio più di due secoli fa a Torricella Peligna, il piccolo borgo abruzzese da dove partì il nonno di John Fante, uno degli scrittori americani più amati, controversi e originali del Novecento. Il John Fante Festival “Il dio di mio padre”, a lui dedicato e che da 15 anni si tiene nel paese dei suoi avi, trova in questo volume le voci di chi vi ha partecipato per almeno un'edizione. Allo sguardo appassionato dei figli Victoria, Jim e Dan, ma anche di chi ha conosciuto da vicino la sua famiglia, come lo sceneggiatore Frank Spotnitz e la direttrice del festival Giovanna Di Lello, si unisce l'omaggio di scrittori come Sandro Veronesi, Marco Vichi, Giancarlo De Cataldo, Simona Baldelli, Gaetano Cappelli, Alessio Romano, fino al filosofo Gianni Vattimo e al cantautore Vinicio Capossela, tutti suoi grandi estimatori e divulgatori. La raccolta è arricchita, inoltre, da un contributo postumo di Francesco Durante, uno dei massimi esperti di John Fante in Italia, cui si affiancano saggi sulla sua opera narrativa e cinematografica firmati dagli studiosi Antonio Buonanno, Fred Gardaphé, Lia Giancristofaro e Giuliana Muscio.Giovanna Di LelloDirettrice del John Fante Festival “Il dio di mio padre”, giornalista, documentarista e organizzatrice di eventi, ha realizzato tra l'altro i documentari John Fante. Profilo di scrittore (Fazi Editore, 2003) e Il razzismo indiscreto degli americani. Incontro con Noam Chomsky sull'immigrazione negli Stati Uniti (left, 2007).Toni RicciardiStorico delle migrazioni all'Università di Ginevra, condirettore della collana “Présent et Histoire”, è tra i coautori del Rapporto italiani nel mondo (Fondazione Migrantes), del primo Dizionario enciclopedico delle migrazioni italiane nel mondo (ser, 2014), membro del comitato editoriale di “Studi Emigrazione” e autore di monografie e saggi sulla storia delle migrazioni.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Da Torricella Peligna a Hollywood. Radici italiane, spirito americano. Stiamo parlando di John Fante: un autore irrinunciabile, che ha rincorso per anni la fama come romanziere, ottenendola solo dopo la morte. Nel frattempo, ha dovuto ripiegare sul mestiere di sceneggiatore: fonte di frustrazione, ma anche di ispirazione per consegnare alla storia pagine di struggente lirismo. Il merito del riscatto di John Fante va a un altro outsider della letteratura, Charles Bukowski.

Daniela Mencarelli"Tutto chiede salvezza"Mondadori Editorewww.librimondadori.itHa vent'anni Daniele quando, in seguito a una violenta esplosione di rabbia, viene sottoposto a un TSO: trattamento sanitario obbligatorio. È il giugno del 1994, un'estate di Mondiali.Al suo fianco, i compagni di stanza del reparto psichiatria che passeranno con lui la settimana di internamento coatto: cinque uomini ai margini del mondo. Personaggi inquietanti e teneri, sconclusionati eppure saggi, travolti dalla vita esattamente come lui. Come lui incapaci di non soffrire, e di non amare a dismisura.Dagli occhi senza pace di Madonnina alla foto in bianco e nero della madre di Giorgio, dalla gioia feroce di Gianluca all'uccellino resuscitato di Mario. Sino al nulla spinto a forza dentro Alessandro.Accomunati dal ricovero e dal caldo asfissiante, interrogati da medici indifferenti, maneggiati da infermieri spaventati, Daniele e gli altri sentono nascere giorno dopo giorno un senso di fratellanza e un bisogno di sostegno reciproco mai provati. Nei precipizi della follia brilla un'umanità creaturale, a cui Mencarelli sa dare voce con una delicatezza e una potenza uniche.Dopo l'eccezionale vicenda editoriale del suo libro di esordio – otto edizioni e una straordinaria accoglienza critica (premio Volponi, premio Severino Cesari opera prima, premio John Fante opera prima) -, Daniele Mencarelli torna con una intensa storia di sofferenza e speranza, interrogativi brucianti e luminosa scoperta. E mette in scena la disperata, rabbiosa ricerca di senso di un ragazzo che implora salvezza: “Salvezza. Per me. Per mia madre all'altro capo del telefono. Per tutti i figli e tutte le madri. E i padri. E tutti i fratelli di tutti i tempi passati e futuri. La mia malattia si chiama salvezza”.Daniele Mencarelli è nato a Roma nel 1974. Vive ad Ariccia.Le sue principali raccolte di poesia sono: I giorni condivisi, poeti di clanDestino, 2001; Bambino Gesù, Tipografie Vaticane, 2001, Nottetempo, 2013; Guardia alta, Niebo - La vita felice, 2005; Figlio, Nottetempo, 2013. Sempre nel 2013 è uscito La Croce è una via, Edizioni della Meridiana, poesie sulla passione di Cristo. Nel 2015, nella collana gialla del Festival pordenonelegge, è stato pubblicato Storia d'amore. La sua ultima raccolta è Tempo circolare (poesie 2019-1997), Pequod, 2019.Del 2018 è il suo primo romanzo La casa degli sguardi, Mondadori (premio Volponi, premio Severino Cesari opera prima, premio John Fante opera prima).Collabora, scrivendo di cultura e società, con quotidiani e riviste.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.it

Nuevo episodio de VOLUMEN, un podcast de reseñas literarias. En esta emisión "Magnetizado” de Carlos Busqued y “Pregúntale al polvo” de John Fante, dos libros editados por Anagrama. Voz y realización Mariana Collante. TW e IG @mariancollante

John Fante steht als einer der Außenseiter unter den amerikanischen Schriftstellern für eine packende, direkte Sprache, die seiner eigenen Lebenserfahrung und -wirklichkeit entspricht. Insofern war es folgerichtig, dass Autoren wie Charles Bukowski und Jörg Fauser ihn zum Vorbild nahmen. Der Sammelband „Arturo Bandini“ besteht aus drei einzelnen Romanen. Die Übersetzung von Alex Capus beweist das faszinierende Talent Fantes, die eigene Geschichte in Worte zu fassen und zu erzählen.

Il Mordente 50 è la puntatona di fine anno. La immagino un podcast diviso a metà: primo tempo sulle prospettive 2020, sulla mezza maratona corsa ad Assisi, sulla scoperta delle Five Fingers.

Imagine this. You’ve worked for years on this novel—one that is indisputably the best thing you’ve ever done. You manage to get a publisher to buy it. You start to get rave reviews. You sell out your first printing. Then suddenly, all the momentum evaporates. You talk to the clerk at a bookstore and he tells you the publisher has just stopped resupplying them. Within months, what should have been a beloved bestseller, slips into obscurity. Why? Well, according to your editor it’s because they’ve been sued by Hitler over the rights to Mein Kampf...and a US Federal Court sided with the Nazis. And that is basically the end of your career as an author—at least it was for John Fante. You can read the full story, which Ryan wrote in an original piece for Medium, but one would expect this would make a person pretty bitter and angry right?Not Fante.“I think the one thing that a writer must avoid is bitterness,” John Fante told the writer Ben Pleasants in an interview in 1979. “I think it’s the one fault that can destroy him. It can shrivel him up… I’ve fought it all my life.” His son, many years later, would reflect on how his father dealt with this incredibly unlucky and ill-timed setback. I’m not naive enough to think good work always wins out in the end. There are plenty of painters who died in Auschwitz. I don’t necessarily think there is justice in the world, it’s that he had the strength of character not to let it break him.No one would say John Fante was Stoic. He was often egotistical and vain and could hardly be called self-disciplined. But John Fante did respond to that those strokes of misfortune in his life with a poise that Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus couldn’t have helped but admired. It’s a good lesson for the rest of us: We can work really really hard on something. We can do everything right and more. And we can still get royally screwed. But we have to resist the temptation to see things that way, we can’t nurse a sense of aggrievement or bitterness. Because it will shrivel us up. That is what will break us. Besides, as you’ll see in the Fante story, his bad luck was, many decades later, compensated for with almost unimaginably good luck. Which is just how life goes.

This week on The Book Show we look at a troubled teenage friendship with Julie Buntin author of Marlena. And we hear about the LA writer John Fante.

Teddie Matson had a golden life, until her path had the misfortune of crossing mine. I sat staring out the window of my office, k.d. lang playing in the background. It was a while till the sun would set, that golden hour when everything takes on a gilded glow. Golden hour is the time when the light hits just right in the early morning or late afternoon. The time when movie cinematographers most like to shoot. The light is tawny and warm. Gentle. It makes the stars shine brighter. Golden hour is the time when Teddie Matson was killed. -- Paul D. Marks, White Heat I had so much fun talking to author Paul D. Marks about his novels, his short stories, and his encounters with the LAPD. Paul's noir sensibility and love of Los Angeles come out in everything he does, but nowhere more than in "Ghosts of Bunker Hill," his short story which was nominated this year for the Macavity Award and which you can read right here. Paul has his own website, where you can keep tabs on his current and future projects. He also blogs at Criminal Minds and SleuthSayers. Social media buffs can find him on Facebook and Twitter. Paul gives a shout-out to classic authors, including Raymond Chandler, David Goodis, Ross MacDonald and John Fante, as well as masters of the short story genre, Fitzgerald, Hemingway and Cheever. As a fan of classic noir myself, I have to say I see the connection between Raymond Chandler and Paul's work. The mean streets of L.A. may have gotten more congested, but there's still a dark side to sunny California, and Paul explores it in much of his work.  Transcript is below. Enjoy the interview! -- Laura ****************************************************************************************** Transcript of Interview with Paul D. Marks Laura Brennan: My guest today is the author of the Shamus Award-winning mystery/thriller, White Heat. But Paul D. Marks is perhaps best known for his short stories. He was voted #1 in the 2016 Ellery Queen Reader’s Award Poll, and his work, which tends towards Noir, has been widely published, recognized with multiple awards, and anthologized. His story, Ghosts of Bunker Hill, from the November 2016 Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, is currently nominated for a Macavity Award. Paul, thank you for joining me.  Paul D. Marks: Well, thank you for having me, Laura. I'm glad to be here. LB: In the reviews of one of your novels, one of the reviewers said that, essentially, you are the master of all things noir and Los Angeles. So, you do, you really seem to love Los Angeles. PDM: I do like Los Angeles, probably partly because I was born here and grew up here. My mother and family -- her side of the family goes back a long ways. And when I was a kid, it was still a little bit of Raymond Chandler's LA. He was still around, although I wasn't conscious of him. He was around and Los Angeles, as I remember it as a child, was kind of how he described it in his books, especially the later books like The Long Goodbye. I think just growing up here, by osmosis you get the ambience and the feel of the place and that comes out in my writing. LB: Is he what drew you into noir? PDM: Probably what drew me into noir is movies. As you probably know, he wrote a couple of really great noir movies like Double Indemnity and The Blue Dahlia. So I'd watch the movies and you see "The Big Sleep, based on a novel by Raymond Chandler," or "Dark Passage, based on a novel by David Goodis." And my mom had this double volume of mystery books, I can't remember the name of it. And if I recall, the first story or first novel in this collection was The Big Sleep. So one day, I guess I was intrigued by this sinister-looking collection of stuff and I had seen the movie The Big Sleep, and I went and I read the novel in that collection and I was hooked. After that, I read everything I could by Raymond Chandler and he's still my favorite. I love David Goodis, too.

Benoît Poelvoorde, vieux garçon radin et acariâtre, accueille un indien pendant une semaine, le temps pour lui de retrouver son oncle. Sans gags, difficile de parler de comédie pour ce dernier film d’Hector Cabello Reyes, qui essaie de mélanger comédie romantique, buddy movie, conte et comédie sociale, et qui accouche d’un mélange de situations peu intéressantes. Chaque personnage joue bien sa partition, mais Alexandra Lamy est mal castée, Pitobash est sous-exploité, ne reste que Benoît Poelvoorde pour tenir le film à bout de bras. Un peu déçus, on a frôlé l’ennui. Animé par Daniel Andreyev avec Amandine Schmitt et Hugo Alexandre. RECOMMANDATIONS Amandine Schmitt : “L’intime festival” organisé par Benoît Poelvoorde à Namur, avec cette année des lectures de John Fante, une carte blanche à Philippe Katerine ou encore une carte blanche à Nicolas Charlet et Bruno Lavaine. A tester. Hugo Alexandre : “Saint Amour”, le cru 2016 de Benoît Delépine et Gustave Kervern avec Benoît Poelvoorde et Gérard Depardieu en vadrouille sur la route des vins. Un film intéressant à plusieurs degrés. Daniel Andreyev : une pépite méconnue à laquelle a contribué Hector Caballo Reyes en tant que co-scénariste, “Bienvenue à Bord” (2011), une comédie de croisière avec Franck Dubosc en abruti inouï et Valérie Lemercier.

JOHN FANTE raccontato da Francesco Durante

Professor of English and Film Studies at California State University, Long Beach - had his biography of novelist and screenwriter John Fante and edition of John Fante Reader named among the Los Angeles Times "Best Books of the Year."

Lezione scolastica su "Arturo Bandini" da Chiedi alla polvere di John Fante - prof. Luigi Gaudio

In our fifth episode we have recommendations for a classic of literature and two different views of Los Angeles, one a modern classic, the other a follow up to a controversial best seller. Joining us this week is the great Australian comedian Jim Short, who brings us a whopper of a classic, The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas’ timeless pillar of western literature, which Jim claims to have read in it’s entirety. Next, we get a positive recommendation for ‘Bright Shiny Morning’, the post-modern novel of contemporary and historical Los Angeles by James Frey that followed his controversial memoir “A Million Little Pieces”. Finally, we get to discuss one of my favorite authors and one of my favorite books based on one of my favorite films, Charles Bukowski’s ‘Hollywood’, his fictionalized version of the making of the movie ‘Barfly’. (Hint, I liked it!) And as always, we end up with a “bonus recommendation” when the conversation brings us to downtown LA and I recommend ‘Ask The Dust’ by John Fante.!

Colin Marshall sits down in Mexico City's Colonia Roma with novelist and essayist Brenda Lozano, author of the Todo Nada and contributor to Letras Libres. They discuss the space Spain's troubles have opened for Latin American literature; the passion for Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde she learned from one particular teacher; how she began seriously reading in English, and only later in her native Spanish; the difference in enjoyment of Spanish versus English literature, and how the languages ultimately behave like two different animals; the importance of the pleasure of reading, as well as the acknowledgment thereof; poetry as pure sugar; Mexico City's combination of high culture and bad parties; how, when she began writing essays, she found ways to have a good time writing about even assigned topics, and what it revealed about the general skill of having a good time wherever you happen to go; the three years of her early twenties she spent writing a "terrible novel," and what they later gave Todo Nada; her conviction of the overestimation of youth, which led her to build the novel around an aged character, but a young narrator; what could possibly be the sales pitch for Dorian Gray stockings; the newly widened Mexican generation gap; her need to "close the door" when writing, so literary influences like Jorge Luis Borges or Clarice Lispector can't step right in; her first, worldview-changing encounter with Fernando Pessoa, when she asked, "Is this literature?"; what she felt standing next to a wax Octavio Paz; the current absence of non-wax literary fathers; her Mexico City literary community, a group of argumentative friends; getting to know places through literature, like Japan through Banana Yoshimoto, 1930s Los Angeles through John Fante, or indeed Mexico City through Roberto Bolaño; and, despite her having been born and raised there, her continued excitement about writing in Mexico City.

Fante: A Family's Legacy of Writing, Drinking and Surviving (HarperCollins) Novelist and poet Dan Fante will discuss and sign his new family memoir Fante, covering the lives of his Italian-born grandfather, his famous-writer father John Fante (Ask the Dust), and his own life, writing, and personal struggles. "If writing is fighting, then Dan Fante goes fifteen rounds and stays standing. This is a fascinating story about two hard-edged men, survival and the passion to live and to write."--Michael Connelly Dan Fante is the son of novelist John Fante. He was born and raised in Los Angeles. At nineteen he hitchhiked across the country, eventually ending up in New York City where he was a cab driver for seven years and held a hundred other jobs in order to survive. Fante battled with alcoholism for many years and was arrested many times for his numerous stupidities. After getting sober, and in hope of remaining permanently indignant, Fante took up writing novels in his mid-forties. Today Dan Fante is sober and lives in Los Angeles with his wife Ayrin and his six-year old son Michelangelo Giovanni Fante. Fante is the author of the novels 86'd, Chump Change, Mooch, Spitting Off Tall Buildings, the short story collection Short Dog; two books of poetry, and the plays “The Boiler Room” and “Don Giovanni.” He continues to write every day. THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS SEPTEMBER 2, 2011.

Discovering John Fante is like tasting garlic for the first time. He is a quintessential Los Angeles writer. H.L. Mencken, John Steinbeck, Charles Bukowski, Robert Towne and Francis Ford Coppola number among the many fans who swear by Fante, who might have turned 100 this year. A panel of fans and scholars -- including Fante biographer Stephen Cooper, KCRW’s Frances Anderton, Esotouric co-founder Richard Schave, and Fante’s children Victoria Fante-Cohen and Jim Fante -- visited Zócalo along with moderator David Kipen to celebrate the work of John Fante.

  SHOW NOTES   Published August 5, 2007 Lisa's Movie Pick:  Full of Life (1957).  It's a really heartwarming movie about immigrants and their American born children that you can watch comfortably with your kids and your grandkids.   The novel by John Fante is still available:     GEM:  Freedom of Information Act Follow Up Email from Richard Hrazanek:  "I loved the tip about requesting your ancestor's immigration file through the Freedom of Information Act. Do you know if you can do the same thing with a person's military record." FOIA can assist you in obtaining military records. The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press Website article:    Rod Powers of About.com does a great job outlining article: Access to Military Records by the General Public, including genealogists who are not next-of-kin devoted to the 4th Infantry Division 224th Infantry Regiment Company "D" which his uncle served in.  Timothy outlines his experience with obtaining military records.   GEM:  Thanks for the Memories Get a piece of paper or pull up a word document.  Close your eyes for a second, and visualize a favorite memory from your childhood.  In my case I started with a favorite place, my maternal grandma's house.  But perhaps yours is the back alley where you and your friends played baseball, or your great uncle's garage where he showed you how to work on cars.  Whatever is meaningful to you. Now, open your eyes, and write your thoughts one at a time.  Just free flow it. They don't have to be complete sentences.  Later you can try your hand at writing more of your actual experiences or memories of a person.  Again, it doesn't have to be a novel or sound really professional.  It's just the memories from you heart. Tie together this gem with episode 20's Sweet Memories gem where we made a family history chocolate bar label for a candy bar that could be tucked in a Christmas Stocking as a gift.  Replace the Ingredient's list on the back label with a text box that includes these free flowing memories about the photo that appears on the front label.
