THE BOOK OFF Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, we're chatting to global bestseller John Niven. His breakthrough novel was the hit 'Kill Your Friends', a brutal takedown of his career in the 90's music industry. He went on to write the screenplay for the movie version too, starring Nicholas Hoult. John has published 10 novels, including 'The Second Coming', 'Straight White Male', and 'Kill 'Em All'. Also, he's written screenplays for more hit movies, co-writing 'How to Build a Girl', with Caitlin Moran.His new novel is 'The Fathers', which tells the story of Dan and Jada, who meet in a busy maternity ward. One is a TV writer and first-time father, the one is a small-tme criminal having his 6th... ot 7th kid. When a tragedy throws them together, Jada sees the chance for one last get-rich-quick scheme. We talk about picking projects, switching to screenplays, and why he's always got a novel on the go. You can hear how much he knows before he starts writing, and when the plot starts to become clear on the writing road trip. Also, we run through how he knows when he's ready to start writing again.You can get a copy of the book at uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineSupport the showpatreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

As a new exhibition of Ikea textiles opens, we discuss the impact of Scandinavian design concepts on our homes, with curator Anna Sandberg Falk of the Ikea Museum in Sweden and designer Anna Campbell Jones. Bestselling author John Niven talks about his latest novel The Fathers, an exploration of contemporary fatherhood and masculinity which is set in Glasgow. And we hear how social media influencers are shaking up the world of art criticism. Presenter: Kirsty Wark Producer: Mark Crossan

In this episode we welcome novelist and screenwriter John Niven to "RBP Towers" to ask him about his career and his acclaimed novels. We start with the Wishing Stones, the post-C86 combo for whom John played guitar in the late '80s, and progress swiftly to the subject of his caustic 2008 classic Kill Your Friends — the UK's drug-riddled music industry, in which he toiled through the '90s. After John talks about his uncanny 2005 novella Music from Big Pink – inspired by the Band album of the same name — we switch to the week's featured artist (and vocal inspiration to The Band's Richard Manuel) Bobby "Blue" Bland. We then pivot to the sublime writing of Deep Blues author and New York Times pop critic Robert Palmer, who would have turned 80 this summer. We mark the 50th anniversary of the deeply unloved Metal Machine Music by listening to — and discussing clips from — a 1996 audio interview with the inimitably supercilious Lou Reed. Finally, we return to our guest's fiction and ask him about his brand-new novel The Fathers. Many thanks to special guest John Niven. His new novel The Fathers is published by Canongate and available now from all good bookshops. John Niven's Music from Big Pink: A Foreword, Bobby Blue Bland: Arrival!, Bobby Bland: This Time He's Here for Good, A Tribute To Bobby "Blue" Bland, Articles, interviews and reviews from Robert Palmer, Etta James: The Comeback of a Fifties R&B Star, The Sun King: Sam Phillips, Robert Palmer: Recording the Blues in North Mississippi, Steely Dan: Disaster and triumph in the Custerdome, Lou Reed audio, "Jellybean" Benitez and Arthur Baker: The Producers and George Shearing, 1919–2011.

John Niven is a Scottish author and screenwriter known for his darkly comic, satirical novels. Born in Ayrshire in 1966, he studied English Literature at the University of Glasgow before spending a decade in the music industry. This experience inspired his breakout novel, Kill Your Friends (2008), a biting satire of the late-1990s music business. The book earned widespread acclaim for its brutal honesty and sharp wit, and was later adapted into a film for which Niven co-wrote the screenplay. His other works include The Amateurs, The Second Coming, Straight White Male, and O Brother, showcasing his distinctive blend of humour, cynicism, and moral insight. In addition to novels, Niven has written for film and journalism, often exploring themes of fame, failure, and modern hypocrisy. Known for his outspoken political views, Niven remains a provocative and influential voice in contemporary British literature and culture.

Writer of The Battle, documenting the Britpop rivalry of 1995, and novelist John Niven joins us on writing novels like Kill Your Friends, scriptwriting and the importance of being candid.

In this episode I explore the unbearable headache disorder that is cluster headache. The podcast revolves around the risk factors and causes of cluster headache, and the triggers for the attacks. It also reviews the characteristic features of the headache, and its typical accompanying cranial autonomic and behavioural symptoms. I illustrate the agonising manifestations of cluster headache using such patient illness memoirs as those of John Niven titled O Brother, Howard fast titled Being Red, and Rafael Haussler titled You Can't See What I Feel. These narratives illustrate the characteristic features of cluster headache, from its abrupt onset, its diurnal pattern, its severity, and its tendency to recur in clusters.I also review the potential causes and familial tendency of cluster headache, its diverse triggers, and its impact on the lives of its sufferers. The podcast also covers the acute, transitional and preventative treatments of the disease which include the use of such interventions as triptans, oxygen, prednisolone, verapamil, and lithium.Using Mervyn Eadie's enlightening book titled Headache Through the Centuries, I narrate the history of its scientific understanding noting the contributions of physicians from Nicholas Tulp in the 16th century, to Wilfred Harris and Bayard Horton in the 19th century.

AN AUDIENCE WITH IAN RANKIN A Life in Music . .  The superb Inspector Rebus novels are littered with musical references throughout, so we were delighted when legendary award winning author, Sir Ian Rankin agreed to come along to talk about his own life with our favourite art form.  Originally, Ian's friend (and also a best selling Scottish author), John Niven was to be the interviewer, but an important business trip to New Orleans came along and alternative arrangements had to be made. The CAT Club's very own AMANDA COOK stepped into the breach and made us all so proud of her. After a brief chat about Ian's latest blockbuster release, ‘Midnight and Blue,' the musical tastes of John Rebus did indeed feature in a fascinating evening with a true giant of the wonderful world of literature. Ian took us on a personal journey through his life explaining how music played such an important role along the way. As well as being a great novelist, Ian is also a great raconteur with a terrific sense of humour and he captivated the sold audience for over two memorable hours. Special thanks to Amanda Cook for a terrific stint in the interviewer's chair. This event took place on 21st November 2024 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire. To find out more about the CAT Club please visit: www.thecatclub.co.uk Happy Trails.

This is an interview with John Niven about his writing career, particularly his latest book O Brother, which was shortlisted for the 2024 Gordon Burn Prize.O Brother is about the suicide of his brother. While John was making his way in the music industry and then as a successful writer, starting with his novel Kill Your Friends, his brother remained in Scotland where his life was chaotic. He ultimately hanged himself in a hospital.John tells the story of their lives, but also investigates why his brother was left alone to be able to kill himself despite being suicidal. In the interview we talk about his efforts to obtain a transcript of his brother's 999 call that led to his admission, as well as how it felt writing about it, the impact on living relatives, and the way writers become observers even at the most tragic moments.We also talked about the nuts and bolts of any writing discussion, from his advance for Kill Your Friends, how he got his first book deals, how much he made from that first novel, his move into screenwriting, and the shift from fiction to nonfiction.You can buy John's books here: https://uk.bookshop.org/contributors/john-nivenJohn recommended Street-Level Superstar by Will Hodgkinson which you can buy here:https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/street-level-superstar-a-year-with-lawrence-will-hodgkinson/7680905And you can buy my books here:https://uk.bookshop.org/contributors/andrew-hankinsonThanks for listening.

Three authors today who all recorded the audio versions of their books, Great British Sewing Bee judge Patrick Grant champions quality over consumption in his book 'Less', John Niven talks about his heart-breaking and sometimes hilarious memoir 'Oh, Brother' and Christian Lewis takes us around the UK coastline in 'Finding Hildasay'. Plus we find some brand new books in the RNIB Library.

John Niven is a Scottish author and screenwriter whose books include Kill Your Friends, The Amateurs, The Second Coming. The F*ck-it List, and O Brother.John discusses his favourite of Amis's novel, The Information, published in 1995. The Information follows two star-crossed writers, Gwyn Barry and Richard Tull. The pair have been friends since university, but now as their approach their mid years, Tull's once promising career is withering on the vine while Barry receives plaudits and more opportunities than he can manage. John explains how the novel has aged like fine wine for him, both as a reader and writer whose career has mirrored both Tull and Barry's circumstances, though he is pleased to say it has settled somewhere comfortably in the middle of the two.As John says, Amis occupied a rarefied place: a serious literary novelist who was at the same time incredibly funny. His hunch is that Amis will be read for decades to come. Time is, after all, the only true test of a writer's work. FOLLOW US ON TWITTER/ X: @mymartinamis Hosted on Acast.

Beyond doing good by the environment and your community, your sustainably certified wine grapes differentiate your brand in today's oversaturated wine market. But do you know how much of a value-driver your certification really is? Welcome to Marketing Tip Monday with SIP Certified. We know customers are looking for wines labeled as sustainable. While our longer-form episodes help you learn about the latest science and research for the wine industry, these twice-monthly micro podcasts will help you share your dedication to sustainable winegrowing so you can show your customers that you share their values. In this Marketing Tip, get insight into the significance of sustainably grown grapes in the larger market from Gregg Hibbits, who has nearly 30 years of experience selling wine grapes. Over this course of his career, he has experienced a shift in what his grape-buying clients are looking for. Keep reading for highlights from his interview on Episode #83 of the Sustainable Winegrowing Podcast. Buyers with Different Interests Each client, Hibbits says, has different interests. Many winemakers have deep and long-standing interests in sustainability because they believe in its mission: creating high-quality products through protecting, conserving, and regenerating resources so people of today and the future can prosper. They seek out certified sustainable grapes that align with their values. Other buyers believe that sustainability is the direction the industry is going. They feel a push from the market and the trade to produce wine from sustainably farmed grapes, so it is part of their purchasing criteria when they source fruit. Furthermore, sustainability is a value-driver for investors. Businesses want to report back to their investors that the product they are supporting is both of high-quality and reaches exceptional levels in environmental and social health. But he notes a change in his clients over his career. Higher Demands, Higher Premiums Hibbits tells Sustainable Winegrowing, “There's absolutely no question that people are more demanding on every front now.” Buyers are demanding sustainability. Now, the topic comes up early in conversations with buyers – something, Hibbits says, was not the case 15 years ago. But he has been able to fulfill those demands, and has been rewarded in the form of premiums. “Sometimes it's as simple as being able to sell your grapes when nobody else can – that's a premium. And then sometimes when the market is in a different place, the premium is a true premium: I can get $200 - $300 a ton more for my sustainably certified or organic grapes.” And this is something we hear from SIP Certified growers time and time again: John Niven, Cadre Wines “Buyers are looking for wines that have responsible farming practices, are aware of environmental issues, and, of course, are of high quality. The SIP Certified program has added value to our wines allowing us to demonstrate our ability to fulfill all of the desired criteria that buyers look for.” Austin Hope, Hope Family Wines “More and more, we're being asked about our sustainability efforts in the vineyard and winery. Being SIP Certified is an easy way for us to quantify our practices and tell the consumer and trade about how we run our operation in a way that's better for the land, the wine and the community”. Adam LaZarre, Broadside Wine “For us, having our wines SIP Certified is easily the best way to let our entire audience know we are sincere about doing the right thing for the health of our vineyards, customers, and employees... I know for a fact that this is a HUGE selling point for our wines.” If your Grapes are SIP Certified… … it's easier now than ever to put the SIP Certified logo on your wine bottles.

Marco Rossari"L'ombra del vulcano"Einaudi Editorewww.einaudi.it«Dopo tanti anni ci siamo lasciati. Un giorno di marzo. È accaduto per gradi, e poi tutto d'un colpo».È un'estate torrida e alcolica, dopo la fine di un grande amore. Mentre intorno a lui la città si svuota, il traduttore combatte con un romanzo esplosivo e maledetto: Sotto il vulcano di Malcolm Lowry. In quei giorni immobili di agosto Milano sconfina nel Messico, e per non morire di ricordi il traduttore si perde tra le pagine a caccia del Console, il protagonista del libro, per incontrarlo, parlare e bere con lui. Perché tradurre, in fondo, è il modo migliore per non restare mai soli. Marco Rossari prende la sua estate del disamore e ne fa un racconto sentimentale, ossessivo e incandescente, in cui autobiografia e finzione si mescolano come la vita e l'alcol, di notte, in un bar di periferia.Nell'estate in cui ha perso un grande amore, al protagonista di questo libro – che assomiglia molto da vicino a Marco Rossari – viene affidata l'impresa piú colossale e impossibile della sua carriera: trovare nuove parole per l'edizione italiana della «Divina Commedia ubriaca», il romanzo fatale sul Messico, «uno dei capolavori illeggibili del Novecento». Sotto il vulcano di Malcolm Lowry è un libro di culto, soprattutto per gli scrittori. Una storia esotica di autodistruzione, di alcol, di addii: da un lavoro cosí, in un momento cosí, sarebbe saggio tenersi alla larga. Con una voce comica, ma capace di farsi grottesca e struggente, Rossari traccia i rimandi tra la storia disperata del Console e la sua. E poi, lasciandosi andare alla dolcezza dei ricordi, ci dice di quando stava con lei: dei viaggi in capo al mondo, del loro modo sghembo di vivere la relazione, delle consuetudini e delle piccole felicità; infine della crisi senza fondo, i pianti e il non poter stare piú insieme. Tradurre significa ripercorrere i passi di qualcun altro. Calcare le orme, seguire ostinatamente. E nel deserto della città vuota, mentre i giorni trascorsi alla scrivania senza quasi mangiare si alternano alle notti interminabili passate a bere, la vicinanza del protagonista alla figura di Malcolm Lowry diventa una vera e propria possessione. Cosí la Milano d'agosto si fa sempre piú simile a quell'innominabile cittadina messicana nel giorno dei morti, e il Console rivive in un vortice di tristezza, alcol, nostalgia. Perché letteratura e vita, alle volte, sono una cosa sola.Marco Rossari, scrittore e traduttore, è nato a Milano nel 1973. Tra i suoi libri: L'unico scrittore buono è quello morto (Edizioni e/o 2012), Piccolo dizionario delle malattie letterarie (Italo Svevo 2016), Le cento vite di Nemesio (Edizioni e/o 2016) e Le bambinacce (Feltrinelli 2019), scritto a quattro mani con Veronica Raimo. Tra i tanti autori tradotti: Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Percival Everett, Dave Eggers, Alan Bennett, Hunter S. Thompson, John Niven; è il traduttore, inoltre, della nuova edizione di Sotto il vulcano di Malcolm Lowry (Feltrinelli 2018). Per Einaudi ha curato l'antologia Racconti da ridere (2017) e ha pubblicato Nel cuore della notte (2018) e L'ombra del vulcano (2023).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

Marco Rossari"Kabloona"L'uomo biancoAdelphiwww.adelphi.itDisegni e fotografie dell'AutoreCon la collaborazione di Lewis GalantièreTraduzione di Marco RossariNel 1938 un visconte francese avventuroso e un po' avventuriero, sempre alla ricerca di un senso da dare alla vita, decide di partire per l'estremo Nord, al di là del Canada, dove vivono le popolazioni più «primitive». Nel racconto di questa esperienza – una lenta e progressiva acclimatazione, in ogni senso, al nuovo mondo – tutto incanta fin dal primo istante: le durissime prove di resistenza, l'asprezza degli elementi, descritti con una vivacità e un'immediatezza fuori del comune, ma sopra ogni altra cosa l'incontro con gli Inuit, i più arcaici abitanti dell'Artico. Dapprima irrigidito nella sua supremazia di Kabloona, «uomo bianco» – si spingerà a dire che gli Inuit «non pensano», il che secondo i nostri angusti canoni potrebbe sembrare vero –, Gontran de Poncins finirà per imparare molto da queste genti, che non si pongono affatto il problema di dare un senso alla vita, come scopriremo in pagine profonde, spiazzanti, educative nel senso più alto della parola. E nell'ora sofferta del ritorno, si renderà conto, inaspettatamente, di essere diventato uno di loro. Il suo cuore rimarrà lì, come quello di noi lettori, illuminati da un'avventura che, superando ogni distanza, riesce a farci entrare nell'anima di un popolo e di un tempo che non potranno essere più.Marco Rossari, scrittore e traduttore, è nato a Milano nel 1973.

Featuring an ensemble cast of 24 actors, led by Sofia Boutella, the plot is set in 1996 and follows a French dance troupe holding a days-long rehearsal in an abandoned school; the final night of rehearsing is a success, but the group's celebratory after-party takes a dark turn when the communal bowl of sangria is spiked with LSD, sending each of the dancers into agitated, confused and psychotic states.

The film stars Nicholas Hoult, Craig Roberts, Tom Riley, and Georgia King.

Novelist, former A & R man and screenwriter John Niven begins by summing up Bob's generally unloved Neighbourhood Bully: “I have a soft spot for Heritage Rock acts trying to do Punk in the late 70's and early 80's” before summing up the Dont Look Back days: “When you're in your 20's, you're all about the cruelty”. His response to attending a New York screening of the rarely-seen Eat The Document? “An absolute pile of heroin-addled lunacy”.But Niven reveals immense respect for the man and his work: “Listening to Dylan is like reading James Joyce. Just dip in. It can take 20 or 30 years to see the whole picture”. The author of the must-read novella Music From Big Pink references all sorts of artists from John Updike to Joe Strummer, from Jez Butterworth to... Rolf Harris.

In this episode we welcome acclaimed playwright Jez (Jerusalem) Butterworth into RBP's virtual cupboard to talk mainly about The Band – but also about Dolly Parton and other musical tastes shared with hosts Mark, Barney & Jasper. Barney gets the ball rolling by asking Jez how an early '90s conversation with Malcolm McLaren led to his first play Mojo – and how music has long played a part in his work. A Butterworth screenplay based on John Niven's peerless novella Music from Big Pink prompts discussion of The Band, taking in clips from Barney's 1991 audio interview with Al Aronowitz, the New York Post writer who first visited Big Pink to report on Bob Dylan's former backing group.A tangent takes the episode into the terrain of Jerusalem, not to mention Brexit and the rural vs. urban polarisation exemplified by the U.S. presidential elections (still bitterly undecided at the time this episode was recorded). A neat segue leads to a deep appreciation of Dolly Parton, about to publish her autobiography Storyteller. An early Parton interview on RBP's home page provides a perfect springboard for consideration of her unique voice, her politics (or lack thereof), and her cosmetic augmentations.There's no easy pivoting from Parton to Perry Farrell: suffice to say that – in 1996 audio clips about his Lollapalooza festival and the "spirits" of heroin and cocaine – the former Jane's Addiction and current Porno for Pyros frontman is barmy, brilliant and typically engaging. Last but far from least, Mark talks us through his personal highlights from the week's new intake of great interviews and reviews from the golden age(s) of music journalism – including the Daily Express' Ivor Davis dropping in on John Lennon during his "lost" L.A. weekend in 1973, the Village Voice's Richard Goldstein on the "meaning" of Bette Midler in 1975, NME's Paul Morley coaxing quotes out of Joy Division's Ian Curtis in 1979… and that same rag's Steven Wells lambasting pale and uninteresting Velvet Underground devotees in 1993. Jasper takes us out with quotes from a fabulous early interview with Ms. Amy Winehouse…Many thanks to special guest Jez Butterworth.The Rock's Backpages podcast is proud to be part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.Pieces discussed: The Band, Bob Dylan, Al Aronowitz audio, Dolly Parton, Dollier Parton, Dolliest Parton, Perry Farrell audio, Bob Dylan & the Hawks, Steve Winwood, John Lennon, Bette Midler, Manchester bands, Luther Vandross, Velvet Underground, Public Enemy, Amy Winehouse and Baron Wolman.
