El periodista y escritor Bruno Galindo ha presentado , en la Biblioteca Antonio Martínez Asensio de Hoy por Hoy, 'Nadie nos llamará antepasados' (Libros del K.O) . En la novela corren paralelamente dos historias: la de Guillermo Larregui, un pamplonés que migró a Argentina en el primer cuarto del siglo XX , que tras una apuesta recorrió de sur a norte Argentina empujando una carretilla; y la de la familia del propio autor que está ligada a los momentos históricos más importantes del siglo XX. Bruno Galindo nos donó además para nuestra biblioteca radiofónica 'Una novela rusa' de Emmanuel Carrère (Anagrama). Antes, nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio nos contó en tres minutos 'Un viejo que leía novelas de amor' de Luis Sepúlveda (Tusquets) y nos anunció para su programa "Un libro, una hora" el clásico 'La vida está en otra parte' de Milan Kundera (Seix Barral). Las novedades de la semana las trajo Pepe Rubio y fueron 'Despedidas' de Julian Barnes (Anagrama) y 'Caridad del río. Verdades, medias verdades y mentiras" de Pepe Brocal (Garbuix Books). Eli libro abandonado en la redacción de la SER y recuperado por el empleado Pascual Donate fue 'Bienvenido al mundo de Miguel Brieva' (Astiberri).

A apărut ultima carte a lui Julian Barnes. Din păcate, „Plecare, plecări” e chiar ultima, ne spune autorul însuși în paginile cărții. În limba română a fost tradusă de Radu Paraschivescu și a apărut la Editura Nemira. Nu e tocmai un memoir, nu e tocmai un roman, e un gen hibrid, alimentat și cu date reale dar și cu ficțiune, cu notații eseistice și reflecții despre literatură și memorie, îmbătrînire și moarte dar și despre viață și iubire. Din care nu lipsesc ironia și autoironia lui Barnes, acest „pesimist vesel”, după cum se descrie el însuși. „Plecare, plecări” ne spune și o poveste de iubire – a unor prieteni din tinerețe ai autorului, care se regăsesc la 60 de ani și decid să-și dea o nouă șansă –, ne spune și povestea bolii scriitorului – „incurabilă dar gestionabilă” –, ne spune și cum vede Julian Barnes relația lui cu cititorii – „...nu sînt un scriitor didactic. Nu vă spun ce să credeți sau cum să trăiți.” Am vorbit cu traducătorul Radu Paraschivescu despre „Plecare, plecări” de Julian Barnes.Radu Paraschivescu: „E o carte mai greu de dus decît de tradus, pentru că știi că e ultima. (...) E o carte despre memorie. Barnes simte nevoia de a vorbi despre depozitarul ăsta intim, despre silozul ăsta în care se păstrează de-a valma amintiri plăcute cu șocuri, cu traume, cu bucurii, cu revelații, cu surprize neplăcute, cu dezamăgiri, cu imagini ale unor stîngăcii de tinerețe sau chiar din copilărie. Și da, există trimiteri la madlena lui Proust, pe de altă parte să nu uităm că în „Bărbatul cu haină roșie”, o altă carte foarte frumoasă a lui Barnes, pe care am tradus-o, Proust este prezent, este chiar un personaj din carte. Toate aceste lucruri fac din „Plecare, plecări” un soi de poem, care a fost încadrat nedrept drept roman. Scrie pe el novel în edițiile englezești, dar e o împletire de roman, eseu filozofic, scriere despre memorie, autobiografie.”Julian Barnes ne spune în final cum vede relația dintre el și cititorul lui: doi oameni pe o terasă, vara, cu o băutură rece în față, privind lumea și comentînd. O imagine emoționantă și plină de modestie. Ce spune asta despre el?Radu Paraschivescu: „Spune în primul rînd că are percepția exactă a publicului și a ideii de public. El nu scrie în gol și nu scrie pentru că a coborît muza de undeva de sus și i-a dictat ceva sau pentru că a simțit o sfîșiere atît de mare înăuntru lui încît a avut nevoie să erupă magmatic, cum fac unii romancieri, și să toarne absolut totul din el în experiențe cataclismice. Nu. El știe că are un public, știe că acel public îi așteaptă cărțile, știe că acel public este în general instruit și avizat și în materie de artă, și în materie de muzică și că e bine să ai un comerț cu el. Sigur, cuvîntul comerț e vulgar în contextul ăsta, dar Julian Barnes cred că scrie în egală măsură pentru el și pentru public. Scriind își răspunde la niște întrebări, dar ia martor publicul la aceste întrebări și i le pune și publicului. De genul: voi ce-ați face în situația asta? Voi cum vă descurcați știind că vă apropiați de sfîrșit? Voi cum ați procedat cînd v-ați pierdut omul la care țineați ca la ochii din cap? Vouă ce vă trezește un om care este la limita geniului, dar nu poate să se exprime? Și așa mai departe. Imaginea asta e splendidă, cu cititorul și scriitorul care stau la o terasă și sînt pe picior de egalitate, fiecare trăiește și în funcție de celălalt. Asta e bine să nu uităm atunci cînd ne credem niște inspirați de sorginte divină: să nu uităm că cei mai mulți dintre noi nu sînt așa ceva, sînt niște meșteșugari și că publicul nu este nimic altceva decît egalul tău, care te cumpără.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta întreaga discuție!O emisiune de Adela GreceanuUn produs Radio România Cultural
Cʹest promis ce roman sera le dernier de Julian Barnes. A près de 80 ans, le romancier britannique a décidé de tirer la prise. " Départ(s) " raconte lʹhistoire dʹamour de deux universitaires qui se retrouvent quarante ans plus tard. Cʹest aussi une réflexion ironique et malicieuse sur le temps qui passe, la mémoire et la place du bonheur dans nos vies. Par Sarah Clément et Ivan Garcia.
The novelist, essayist and critic Julian Barnes talks to John Wilson about his career and formative cultural influences. One of the most acclaimed and distinctive British writers of his generation, his early novels, including Metroland, A History Of The World In 10 and a Half Chapters, and Flaubert's Parrot, established his reputation for blending fiction, factual biography and philosophical reflection. Julian Barnes won the Booker Prize in 2011 for The Sense Of An Ending, and the same year won the prestigious David Cohen Prize for Literature, awarded for a body of work. A famous Francophile, he was given the title of Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters, one of France's highest cultural honours in 2004. He has said that his latest book, Departure(s) will be his final novel.Producer: Edwina Pitman

In the summer of 1998, eighty-two-year-old New York socialite Irene Silverman disappeared from her Manhattan townhouse without a trace. Silverman's friends were immediately concerned, as it was completely out of character for Irene to leave town without telling anyone. Coincidentally, on the same day Irene Silverman disappeared, authorities in New York arrested Sante Kimes and her son, Kenny, on a charge of check fraud. Unbeknownst to investigators, these two events were directly linked.In the wake of the arrest of Kimes and her son, investigators discovered a number of links between the mother and son con artists and Irene Silverman that would not only lead to the discovery of Silverman's body, but also to a years' long crime spree that included everything from check fraud and impersonation to arson and murder. In the annals of American crime, it's rare to find a series of violent crimes committed by a woman. And among those women, it is rarer still to find one so brutal, cunning, and manipulative as Sante Kimes.ReferencesAssociated Press. 1985. "Couple charged with slavery."

Julian Barnes and Ian McEwan are widely celebrated as two of the finest writers of their generation. Along with Salman Rushdie and Kazuo Ishiguro, they were included on Granta's prescient Best Young British Novelists list in 1993 and have gone on to write some of the most memorable novels of the past three decades. In January 2026 they came together to discuss the book that Barnes says will be his last, Departure(s). It follows a man named Stephen and a woman called Jean who fall in love when they are young and again when they are old. Barnes and McEwan will draw on the themes of the book to discuss topics including philosophy, art, the slipperiness of memory, the passage of time, mortality and grief.This was a rare opportunity to hear two of the most celebrated voices in contemporary British literature discussing their craft and reflections on life.

Federico e Isabel hablan con Andrés Amorós del libro Despedidas.
Der Zürcher Zoodirektor Severin Dressen war diesmal zu Gast im Literaturclub. Ausserdem begrüsste Moderatorin Jennifer Khakshouri in ihrer Runde: die Autorin Nina Kunz sowie den Politiker und Germanisten Gerhard Pfister. Diskutiert wurde über «Der Fluss der Zeit» von Pascal Mercier, «Gym» von Verena Kessler, «Das Geschenk» von Gaea Schoeters, «Abschied(e)» von Julian Barnes und «Grelles Licht für darke Leute» von Mariana Enriquez. Viele dürften den Schriftsteller und Philosophen Pascal Mercier durch seinen Bestseller «Nachtzug nach Lissabon» kennen. Mercier gehört zu den international erfolgreichsten Schweizer Autoren überhaupt. 2023 verstorben, erscheint nun posthum ein Band mit fünf Kurzgeschichten von ihm. «Der Fluss der Zeit» ringt mit elementaren Themen wie Freiheit, Identität und Vergänglichkeit. Es gibt nicht viele Romane, die in einem Fitness-Studio spielen. «Gym» von der deutschen Autorin Verena Kessler tut das. Es geht um eine Frau, die in einer «Muckibude» jobbt. Als sie selbst zu trainieren beginnt, verliert sie jedes Mass. Der Sport wird zur Obsession. Rasant erzählt, lässt sich diese Geschichte auch als Kritik an unserer Leistungsgesellschaft lesen. Passend zu seiner Leidenschaft für Tiere stellt der Gast der Sendung, der Zürcher Zoodirektor Severin Dressen, einen tierischen Roman zur Diskussion: «Das Geschenk» von der flämischen Autorin Gaea Schoeters. Die Handlung: 20'000 Elefanten stehen plötzlich mitten in Berlin. Ein normaler Alltag ist fortan unmöglich. Und was tut die Regierung? Getrieben von Macht- und Konkurrenzdenken sucht diese nur nach Scheinlösungen. Eine skurrile Polit-Satire. Der britische Star-Autor Julian Barnes wird dieser Tage 80 Jahre alt. Zeit für ihn, sich vom Schreiben zu verabschieden. Meint zumindest er. Er tut das mit dem Werk «Abschied(e)», einer Mischung aus Essay, Memoir und Roman. Barnes blickt darin auf sein Leben zurück. Ein trauriges Buch, das aber von einem beeindruckend leichten Ton getragen ist. Einen Blick nach Südamerika wirft die «Literaturclub»-Runde mit dem Erzählband «Grelles Licht für darke Leute» der Argentinierin Mariana Enriquez. Ihr Genre: literarischer Horror. Und so handeln ihre Stories von Gesichtern, die bei lebendigem Leibe verwesen, von Toten, die ihre Nachbarn verfolgen, oder von Frauen, die zu Vögeln werden.

Am 19. Januar ist Julian Barnes 80 Jahre alt geworden, und „Abschied(e)“ soll sein letztes Buch sein. Behauptet der Autor und verabschiedet sich auf das Eleganteste von seiner Leserschaft: mit einem klugen, fein ironisch gewürzten Text.
Traumlogik und Erinnerungsarbeit: Martina Läubli, Judith von Sternburg und Christoph Schröder diskutierten in der Bühler Mediathek vier Werke, die auf der SWR Bestenliste im Februar verzeichnet sind. Auf dem Programm standen mit „Vaim“ der neue Roman von Literaturnobelpreisträger Jon Fosse (Platz 5), mit „Ein Jahr in der Natur“ von Josephine Johnson eine Erstübersetzung aus dem Jahre 1969 (Platz 3), mit „Trag das Feuer weiter“ der Abschluss einer Familientrilogie von Leïla Slimani (Platz 2) und mit „Abschied(e)“ von Julian Barnes ein Buch über Erinnerungsarbeit angesichts des nahenden Todes. Begeistert zeigte sich die Jury von Jon Fosses „Vaim“ in der deutschen Fassung von Hinrich Schmidt Henkel aus dem Rowohlt Verlag. Drei Männer erzählen, eine Frau entscheidet. Fosses Prosa in kapitellangen Sätzen, die von Einsamkeit in der norwegischen Provinz erzählen, von Freundschaften und fatalen Beziehungen, überzeugte selbst einen ehemaligen Kritiker des Autors. Ein Text, getragen von einer melancholischen „Traumlogik“, erklärte Jury-Mitglied Christoph Schröder. Fosse-Kennerin Martina Läubli ordnete die Geschichte, in der am Ende fast alle Figuren gestorben sind, in das Gesamtwerk des Nobelpreisträgers ein. Die bislang jüngste Pulitzer-Preisträgerin wird in Deutschland wiederentdeckt, dank einer hochwertigen Edition in der Anderen Bibliothek. Josephine Johnsons „Ein Jahr in der Natur“ in der Übersetzung von Bettina Abarbanell und mit Illustrationen von Andrea Wan wird von der Bestenliste-Jury aber durchaus kontrovers diskutiert. Die Genauigkeit der Naturbeschreibungen, die niemals zu sprachlichen Überhöhungen der Flora und Fauna führen, wird gelobt. Doch die jahreszeitlichen Naturbetrachtungen seien zuweilen etwas erwartbar, sagt Judith von Sternburg. Auch die Schärfe und Aktualität der politischen Analyse ist Gegenstand des Gesprächs, webt die Autorin in ihre Chronik doch immer wieder Kommentare zum damaligen Vietnam-Krieg ein. Je länger der Abend, desto schärfer die Diskussion der Jury. Leïla Slimanis „Trag das Feuer weiter“ in der Übersetzung von Amelie Thoma aus dem Luchterhand Verlag wurde von Judith von Sternburg vorgestellt. Nach der Lesung aus dem Roman, in der es um die Zerrissenheit der Hauptfigur zwischen Marokko und Frankreich ging, kam Christoph Schröder auf die sprachlichen Schwächen zu sprechen. Während Läubli und von Sternburg ein Buch mit ambivalent gezeichneten Figuren gelesen haben wollen, kritisierte Schröder die seiner Meinung nach offensichtliche Schwarz-Weiß-Malerei, den willkürlichen Perspektivwechsel und die auf „Thrill“ angelegte Ästhetik selbst in einer Missbrauchsszene: „An diesem Buch stört mich so gut wie alles.“ Der Spitzenreiter der SWR Bestenliste im Februar ist Julian Barnes vermutlich letztes Buch „Abschied(e)“, das Gertraude Krueger für Kiepenheuer und Witsch ins Deutsche übertragen hat.
Liz Moore's bestselling book, ‘Long Bright River,' was set in a troubled Philadelphia neighborhood where she'd worked on a photo essay. “My own family has a long history of addiction. I was kind of emotionally drawn back to the neighborhood over and over again because of that,” she tells Dave Davies. The resulting thriller about a policewoman searching for her missing sister was made into a series on Peacock. Moore's latest book, ‘The God of the Woods,' where a child goes missing from a remote children's camp, will be adapted to a Netflix series.Also, we hear from one of England's most acclaimed writers, Julian Barnes.

Acabo de leer el último libro de Julian Barnes, último hasta la fecha pero también último en el sentido definitivo, pues con él cuelga los hábitos. El libro, que lleva el revelador título de 'Despedidas', se ocupa -como tantos de los suyos- de la memoria. Y se inicia hablando de un fenómeno neurológico, que responde a las siglas de IAM, y que consiste en que, en determinadas circunstancias, una sensación activa un recuerdo, y este recuerdo activa otro, disparando una reacción en cadena que despierta una cascada de recuerdos similares. Imagina que hueles en café de la mañana y, de pronto, se te encadenan los miles de cafés de máquina aguachirlados que te has embaulado a lo largo tu vida. El fenómeno es bonito si pensamos en Proust, ya de mayor, que mordisquea una magdalena y eso abre una esclusa de recuerdos, desplegando ante sus ojos todas las magdalenas que comió en su vida hasta alcanzar esa primera magdalena que probó siendo un niño. Pero también puede ser odioso: imagina que oyes por la calle una canción de verano y, de repente, se te vienen a las mientes King Africa, Georgie Dann, la Macarena y el Tiburón, todo de golpe.Leyendo a Barnes, me preguntaba qué pasaría si experimentáramos un IAM y nos pasaran por la cabeza todas las versiones que se han ido dando a cuento del accidente ferroviario durante los últimos días: primero renovación integral, luego renovación por tramos, que si avisó Adif, luego que si avisó Renfe… Si me dan a elegir, más que una magdalena de Proust, preferiría una magdalena tratada con sedantes que hiciera borrar la memoria de estos días.A veces, como dice Dante en la Divina comedia, la memoria sucumbe a tanto exceso, así que recordemos lo justo.

Film reviews - Midwinter Festival -Departure(s) by Julian Barnes
In dieser Podcastfolge von "Unter Büchern" geht es um Literatur, die Welten erklärt – in einfacher Sprache, durch Einblicke in den Iran, Familienkonstellationen oder Lebensthemen.
Booker Prize-winner Julian Barnes has a bibliography that would keep a reader happy for many months, even years, but with mention that his latest book, Departure(s), might be his last, we were determined to speak with him about his approach to fiction, the passage of time, and the very special relationship between writer and reader.
Der britische Schriftsteller Julian Barnes und die deutsche Schriftstellerin Helga Schubert haben einiges gemeinsam: mit achtzig oder über achtzig Jahren sind sie beide in fortgeschrittenem Alter. Und sie haben beide ein Buch veröffentlicht, in dem sie Rückschau halten und über das Leben nachdenken. Julian Barnes ist einer der bedeutendsten britischen Schriftsteller und Booker-Preisträger. Er wird 80 und verabschiedet sich vom Schreiben. Mit «Abschied(e)» legt er sein letztes Buch vor: eine Mischung aus Liebesgeschichte, Erinnerungen und Gedanken über Vergänglichkeit und Leben. Julian Barnes erzählt von einer Jugendliebe, die nach 40 Jahren neu beginnt, von seiner eigenen Krankheit und vom Rätsel der Erinnerung. An seiner Seite: Jimmy, ein Hund, der ihn über Bewusstsein bei Mensch und Tier nachdenken lässt. Jennifer Khakshouri stellt das Buch vor. In der DDR schrieb die Psychologin und Schriftstellerin Helga Schubert jahrzehntelang bespitzelt und ohne Anerkennung. Als sie 1980 zum Ingeborg-Bachmann-Preis eingeladen war, durfte sie nicht ausreisen. 2020 kam die zweite Einladung.

Über die Werke von Stefan Hertmans, Julian Barnes und Tezer Özlü
Booker-Preisträger Julian Barnes wird 80 und legt mit «Abschied(e)» sein letztes Buch vor. Er erzählt von Liebe und Tod, Erinnerung und Endlichkeit – und davon, was geschieht, wenn eine Jugendliebe nach 40 Jahren fortgesetzt wird. Ein letztes Buch, eine Liebesgeschichte, ein Hund und grosse Gedanken: In «Abschied(e)» blickt Julian Barnes zu seinem 80. Geburtstag noch einmal auf die Themen, die sein Werk geprägt haben: Erinnerung, Vergänglichkeit, Liebe und Tod. An seiner Seite: Jimmy, ein Hund, der den Erzähler über Bewusstsein bei Mensch und Tier nachdenken lässt. Julian Barnes spricht über das Schreiben und seine Leserschaft sowie über seine Bewunderung für Roger Federer, der für ihn der beste Tennisspieler aller Zeiten ist. Wer «Abschied(e)» liest, begegnet nicht nur einem Autor am Ende seines Schreibens, sondern erfährt, wie sehr seine früheren Bücher Teil eines grossen, zusammenhängenden Ganzen sind. _______________________ Dieses Buch steht im Zentrum der Folge: Julian Barnes. «Abschied(e)». 256 Seiten.
