The world-renowned British author Jonathan Coe has spoken to FRANCE 24 about the joys of writing, and his love of mixing a variety of genres in his work. He also warned people to be wary of the self-deprecating British form of humour, something often seen in his books. His latest novel "The Proof of My Innocence" centres around an intriguing plot to sell off the British Health Service, the NHS, amid the chaotically short premiership of Liz Truss. It contains a lot of wry humour and also centres around a murder investigation. Coe, who is in Paris for a book signing, spoke to us in Perspective.

After wise advice on plot mastery  from Nelle in part 1, we continue our discussion on structuring ideas, how plots vary across commercial and literary strands? And why novels with an interior focus, or stream of consciousness writing, still need to be plotted. As ever, Elizabeth joins us at the end for her final reflections.

In the seventh episode of How to Write a Book, Elizabeth Day's new podclass series, hosts Sara Collins, Sharmaine Lovegrove and Nelle Andrew take a slightly more structured approach to their discussion, having plotted out how best to talk about plot. We open up with wise advice on plot mastery  from Nelle, who as a literary agent, has taught hundreds of writers about this tricky discipline. Where should you begin when it comes to structuring your ideas? How do plots vary across commercial and literary strands? Where does the snobbishness around “the plottiest of plots” come from? And why novels with an interior focus, or stream of consciousness writing, still need to be plotted. Together, Sara, Sharmaine and Nelle are your on-hand writing community giving you the push you need to get started on that novel, memoir, or piece of non fiction you've always dreamed of writing. And because every great plot should have a cliffhanger, we're doing part 2 of PLOT next week!

À l'occasion de la sortie de son Dictionnaire amoureux de la traduction chez Plon, j'ai reçu Josée Kamoun. Traductrice de l'anglais, nous lui devons notamment les versions françaises de plusieurs romans de Philip Roth, John Irving, Jonathan Coe et Richard Ford, ainsi qu'une retraduction remarquée de 1984 de George Orwell (2018). Il est difficile de résumer cet entretien en quelques mots, mais nous sommes parties de son dictionnaire amoureux et nous avons parlé, en vrac, de Philip Roth et son anxiété face à la traduction, des parents québécois de Jack Kerouac, de sa lecture fantastique de 1984, d'Anatomie d'une Chute, des exigences impossibles vis-à-vis de la traduction et de caméléons.

Prieteni, întâlnirea cu Dia Radu, jurnalist cultural a fost o reală încântare. O să descoperiți un om admirabil, un minunat intervievator, pasionat de munca sa și, nu în ultimul rând, curajos. Pentru că, auzindu-i întâmplările, noi nu am putut decât să o mai întrebăm dacă nu i-a fost frică să treacă prin toate cele povestite.  Altfel, avem suficiente motive să ne îngrijorăm de numărul tot mai mare de români care-și iau cetățenia unuia dintre statele Uniunea Europeană, cărțile au locul lor binemeritat, la fel și fotbalul, doar vorbim despre sferturile Champions League.

Armando Besio"Il bello dell'orrido"Spavento, stupore, meravigliaIncontri d'autore vistalago a BellanoAlberto Rollo"Il grande cielo" Dalle Grigne al Monte Rosa, educazione sentimentale di un escursionistaPonte alle Graziesabato 23 marzo 2024 ore 18.00, BellanoAlberto Rollo, sarà in dialogo con Armando Besio, curatore della rassegna "Il bello dell'orrido".   Il grande cielo è la personale ricerca dell'autore di un posto nel mondo per sopportare il grigio del quotidiano, della montagna, con il suo cielo pieno di nuvole e pieno di sogni, come educazione alla vita e via di fuga.  “La visione delle montagne è andata crescendo insieme a quella della città. Mi sentivo messo davanti a due grandezze, a due misure”.  La moto raffigurata in copertina e presente nell'incipit del libro, una Guzzi rossa, è quella del padre ed è anche il fil rouge che collega Il grande cieloal suo precedente memoir Un'educazione milanese (Manni), tra i finalisti del Premio Strega 2017. Comune ai due testi è l'esplorazione di una città, Milano, e di una generazione, quella degli anni '50. Il quartiere popolare di Mac Mahon, raccontato dai romanzi di Giovanni Testori, è dove cresce Alberto Rollo, nato nel 1951: l'educazione comunista ricevuta dal padre, operaio con radici pugliesi, e dalla madre, cattolica, emerge pian piano insieme agli anni di ribellione sotto il segno dell'utopia politica e la speranza del comunismo come ideologia sognante; la giovinezza e la vita da adulto emergono capitolo dopo capitolo insieme al cambiamento della metropoli, la fine della vita operaia nelle grandi fabbriche, l'avvento della moda: una Milano diversa, con un nuovo skyline disegnato da archistar.  Rispetto al precedente, in questo testo si aggiunge un'esplorazione nuova, o meglio, attesa per tutta la vita, quella delle montagne, con i loro suoni, spazi, cime e cieli: l'esplorazione di luoghi osservati sin da bambino attraverso il racconto di storie, incontri e personali metafore.   “Vieni,” aveva detto mio padre quando mi aveva portato a contemplare le montagne. Ci metteva la sensibilità del maestro, sapeva raccontare. Diceva che ci saremmo venuti quando avrei potuto calzare degli scarponi. Indicava una cima e mi faceva immaginare la difficoltà, la fatica, il mistero. E più immaginavo più sentivo crescere il desiderio di cercare una strada e cominciare a salire. “Adesso non si può,” diceva. E allora? Allora perché portarmi lì, davanti alla barriera verde, ai picchi nudi sopra i boschi, al cielo così alto e azzurro che gridava.   Alberto Rollo inizia così la sua educazione sentimentale ai paesaggi di montagna, sul limitare dei boschi, oppure osservando dal basso le cime, guardando i cieli azzurri e lontani, arrivando all'inizio di un sentiero che non è il momento di percorrere perché non c'è mai la calzata giusta per farlo. Un'educazione all'attesa. La cima osservata in quell'uscita in moto con il padre è il monte San Primo, spartiacque del triangolo lariano e meta vicina a Sormano, località di vacanza della famiglia Rollo.Il grande cielo è una lunga escursione per cime e sentieri in compagnia dell'autore e del suo zaino pieno di storie, ricordi, emozioni, sfumature e scoperte.Alberto Rollo, nato a Milano, è scrittore, critico, traduttore e figura significativa dell'editoria italiana: una lunga carriera come direttore letterario per Feltrinelli e poi editoriale per Baldini+Castoldi e Mondadori. Operatore culturale, grande appassionato di musica, è traduttore, fra gli altri, di Jonathan Coe, Steven Millhauser, Truman Capote, Henry James. Ha pubblicato Un'educazione milanese (2016, finalista al Premio Strega 2017), L'ultimo turno di guardia (2020, Premio internazionale L'Aquila, terna finalisti Premio Napoli) e Il miglior tempo (2021).   Il calendario dei mesi primaverili prosegue:sabato 20 aprile: Sara Chiappori e Marco Bechis / Cile 1973.

Talking Europe hosts Austrian author Robert Menasse, the winner of the 2023 European Union book prize. The award was set up in 2007 to foster a European spirit and promote understanding of the EU from a cultural perspective. The prize has previously been bestowed on such towering figures as Jonathan Coe, Philippe Sands and Tony Judt. Menasse is the only writer to have won the award twice. We discuss his prize-winning novel "The Enlargement", which takes places against the backdrop of the actual enlargement of the European Union. It forms the second novel in his trilogy, after "The Capital" in 2019.

Anglophiles abroad love the British sense of humour – but what does that actually mean? In a recent review for the paper, Jonathan Coe takes a scalpel to the satire boom and its aftermath to find out what, if anything, sets British comedy apart. He joins Malin for a serious chat about comedy and its double-edged role in the UK's political life.Further reading on the episode page: lrb.me/coecomedySubscribe to Close Readings:In Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3pJoFPqIn other podcast apps: lrb.me/closereadings Hosted on Acast.

Why is Boris Johnson a bit like Roger Moore's James Bond? What were the EU chocolate wars? Why is sitting around TVs watching Royal funerals and marriages such a bonding event for brits?

Heute, am 3. Oktober, ist Tag der Deutschen Einheit. Ein Tag, an dem wir an die DDR denken, an eine Zeit, die viele deutsche Familien mehr als dreißig Jahre später noch weiter prägen.Auch Joana Osman kennt das Gefühl, von der Geschichte ihrer Familie geprägt zu sein. 1982 als Tochter eines palästinensischen Vaters und einer deutschen Mutter geboren erzählt in Wo die Geister tanzen die Fluchtgeschichte ihrer palästinensischen Familie und von der Sehnsucht danach, Wurzeln zu schlagen.Das Gefühl der Freiheit feiern wir an diesem Tag ebenfalls. Doch was bedeutet es überhaupt frei zu sein? Der Roman Vorwärts von Eva Meijer nimmt uns mit in das Paris der 1920er-Jahre, in der die Kommune Der Grüne Weg genau dieses Gefühl explorieren will und im Einklang mit der Natur leben möchte. Ob so ein Projekt noch in der heutigen Zeit aufgeht, versucht die Studentin Sam herauszufinden und startet seine eigene Kommune ein Jahrhundert später.Den Spuren der Geschichte folgen: Autorin Olivia Laing macht sich über 60 Jahre nach Virgina Woolfs Tod auf den Weg, um den Lauf des Flusses Ouse, in der sich Woolf ertränkt hat, zu folgen – von der Quelle bis zur Mündung. Zum Fluss zeigt, wie die Geschichte sich in eine Landschaft einschreibt und gibt einen Einblick darin, welche Geheimnisse die Natur schützt.Nicht aus der Geschichte gelernt, haben bekanntermaßen die Brexit-Initiatoren. Wie es für Großbritannien dahin führte, wo es hinführte, zeigt Jonathan Coe, trotz allem mit Humor, im Gesellschafts- und Familienroman Middle England.Die besprochenen Bücher:Joana Osman: Wo die Geister tanzenEva Meijer: VorwärtsOlivia Laing: Zum FlussJonathan Coe: Middle EnglandWas habt ihr euch für den Herbst vorgenommen?

Novelist Jonathan Coe joins book historians Roland Allen, Prof Lesley Smith and Dr Gill Partington and presenter Lisa Mullen. As Radio 3's Late Junction devotes episodes this September to the cassette tape and the particular sound and way of recording and assembling music which that technology provided, we look at writing. At a time when there's a lot of chat about AI and chatbots creating writing, what does it mean to write on a page of paper which is then printed and assembled into a book. The author Jonathan Coe's many books include The Rotter's Club, What a Carve Up! Mr Wilder and Me and his latest Bournville is now out in paperback Roland Allen has worked in publishing and has now written The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper Gill Partington (with Simon Morris and Adam Smyth) is one of the founding editors of Inscription: Journal of Material Text, which brings together artists, book historians, and academic theorists. After editions looking at beginnings, holes and folds, the new issue coming soon looks at touch. Lesley Smith is Fellow and Tutor in Politics at Harris Manchester College, Oxford and has chosen a selection of handwritten documents from the collections of the Bodleian Library published as Handwritten: Remarkable People on the Page.

Wish I Was Here—the new book by today's guest M. John Harrison—is a work which resists description. Monique Roffey goes for “a deep dive into the back-and-forth, up-down sideways mind of a true genius”, Helen Macdonald plumps for “an archaeology of fragments that shivers with wholeness” while Jonathan Coe turns interrogative, asking “Is it a memoir? Is it a handbook for writers?” However the book may best be described—if the book may best be described—the fact that it appeals to writers as diverse as Coe, Roffey and Macdonald—not to mention William Gibson, who described Wish I Was Here as “hilarious and haunting”—shows not just the range of minds that M. John Harrison appeals to, but also the pervasive, if ineffable, nature of his concerns.Buy Wish I Was Here here: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/product/5998501/harrison-m-john-wish-i-was-hereM.

The award-winning writer Jonathan Coe presents a portrait of Britain told through four generations of one family, in his latest novel Bournville. Set in middle England, in a suburb of Birmingham, he chronicles the years of social change post-war, and the events that both brought people together and divided them, from royal events and the World Cup to Brexit and Covid-19. The chocolate factory that features heavily in the novel, and was once at the centre of life in Bournville, has since been transformed in part into a theme park, no doubt offering an authentic chocolate experience. The journalist Emily Bootle turns her attention to what she sees now as an obsession with authenticity. In a collection of essays, This Is Not Who I Am, she unpicks the ideology surrounding the goal of ‘living our truth' amidst the fakery of digital culture and the illusion of infinite choice. The award-winning saxophonist and rapper Soweto Kinch also takes a long hard look at the state of the nation for his latest album, White Juju, recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra. Conceived at the height of the pandemic the music is his response to lockdown, BLM, British history and the culture wars. He takes inspiration from European folklore, the African Diaspora and divisive national myths to create a unified modern tone poem. Producer: Katy Hickman

Bournville, Jonathan Coe's latest novel, ostensibly follows the life of Mary Lamb (née Clarke) from VE Day 1945, when she was a precocious young pianist, to the darkest depths of the recent pandemic, stopping off at some of the events that helped define (and redefine) Britain over the last seven decades. As we hop from the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, to the 1966 World Cup, through jubilees and the death of Princess Diana, we live not only alongside Mary, but also her parents, her husband, her children and grandchildren, (and in a wider sense the British people as a whole) seeing these events through their eyes, and feeling their sense of excitement or despair at the changes and upheavals in their world.Buy Bournville: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/product/7673827/coe-jonathan-bournville*SUBSCRIBE NOW FOR BONUS EPISODESLooking for Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses? https://podfollow.com/sandcoulyssesIf you want to spend even more time at Shakespeare and Company, you can now subscribe for regular bonus episodes and early access to Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses.Subscribe on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/sandcoSubscribe on Apple Podcasts here: https://podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/shakespeare-and-company-writers-books-and-paris/id1040121937?l=enAll money raised goes to supporting “Friends of Shakespeare and Company” the bookshop's non-profit, created to fund our noncommercial activities—from the upstairs reading library, to the writers-in-residence program, to our charitable collaborations, and our free events.*Jonathan Coe was born a few miles from Bournville in 1961.

Novelist and writer Jonathan Coe is our guest this week. He is the author of several novels which your host holds dear, including What A Carve Up! and The Rotter's Club and his latest book, Bournville, is published this week. A master of social & political satires, state-of-the-nation sagas and generation-spanning comic narratives, Jonathan often plays with the form and, as we find out, before he discovered influential writers such as B.S Johnson and Flann O'Brien he was introduced to experimental comic prose via Spike Milligan's 1963 novel Puckoon. His enthusiasm for comedy as a youth drove him to seek out more Milligan as well as the likes of David Nobbs and he built up a sizeable library of comic novels, sitcom tie-in books and comedy books in general. He talks to Tyler about the comedy and humour he grew up with, especially the work of Milligan, and how it informed his way of looking at the world. 'Bournville' will be published by Viking on 3rd November.

Oh, Hollywood! So much glamour, so much power, so many stars!

BS Johnson was born in Hammersmith in 1933. A wartime evacuee, he never quite shook a sense of dislocation for the rest of his life. Holly's favourite book, she calls it the gateway drug to his work, is Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry. It's the tale of a disaffected accountant who applies the principles of double-entry book keeping to his own life; any perceived slight permits him to repay the same on somebody else. These stretch from minor acts of personal revenge to poisoning London's water and blowing up the House of Commons. "The things I find attractive about him are the things I'm a little bit scared of. His work is so raw - it's so different to how I feel." Holly Walsh Joining Holly and Matthew Parris is the novelist Jonathan Coe, author of The Rotter's Club and Like a Fiery Elephant, an award-winning biography of BS Johnson's life. The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde

On this edition of Parallax Views, Dulcie Everitt joins us to discuss her new book BrexLit: The Problem of Englishness in Pre- and Post-Brexit Referendum Literature (Zer0 Books; 2022). Dulcie's book delves into the idea of the sub-nationalist English identity (as opposed to British identity; English identity would be different from Welsh, Scottish, or Irish identity) in literature before and after the Brexit referendum that saw the UK leave the EU. It is important to note in this regard that England had a greater "Leave" vote than either "Scotland" or "Ireland", both of which voted "Remain", on the referendum. In this conversation we delve into the issue of what English identity is and how it is amorphous, slippery, or difficult to easily define. We delve into Englishness as an identity as it relates to both empire and post-Empire Britain. This, of course, brings us to the topic of Brexit, what it was, how it was spearheaded by figures like the Tory Party's Boris Johnson and UKIP's Nigel Farage, the formation of English nationalism as a retaliation to insurgent sub-nationalisms, the role of nostalgia in the Leave campaign and Boris Johnson's famous "Take Back Control!" line, the history of Euroscepticism on both the Right and the Left, why a second referendum is unfeasible now, xenophobia and racism in relation to Brexit, Ian McEwan's Kafka inspired take on Brexit in the form of the novel The Cockroach, as well as the more hope Autumn by Scottish author Ali Smith, Jonathan Coe's The Rotters' Club and its Brexit-influenced sequel Middle England, the dystopian Perfidious Albion by Sam Byers, the question of cosmopolitanism, and much, much more!
