När Kazuo Ishiguro fick litteraturpriset skrev Svenska Akademien i prismotiveringen att hans verk blottar ”avgrunden under vår skenbara hemhörighet i världen.” Oavsett om det handlar om en strikt butler, en naiv robot eller klonade tonåringar så tar litteraturpristagaren Kazuo Ishiguros böcker oss in i andra världar där vi sakta småningom förstår att saker inte är som de verkar – och i det här samtalet berättar författaren David Lagercrantz om varför Ishiguro är en av hans favoritförfattare..

Årets filmfest på Rivieran är snart slut, priserna ska delas ut och nu är det dags för analys och summering i P1 Kultur! Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Kulturredaktionens filmexperter Emma Engström och Björn Jansson har båda bevakat årets Cannesfestival, där de träffat flera intressanta filmskapare och skådespelare. I dag hör vi mötet med den iranska, prisbelönade filmskaparen Jafar Panahi som är i Cannes med filmen ”It was just an accident”, men också intervjun med nobelpristagaren i litteratur, brittiska Kazuo Ishiguro! Han har varit på plats i Cannes som exekutiv producent för filmen ”A pale view of hills” som bygger på hans debutroman och P1 Kultur fick träffa honom – en person som är känd för att vara sparsam med intervjuer. Dessutom, hur politisk har årets festival varit? Går det att skönja några trender, vilka är de främsta utropstecknen och vilka filmer ligger bra till för att ta hem Guldpalmen, ett pris som innebär stor publik, men inte sällan också en Oscars-nominering!RADIOMEDIET PÅ UPPGÅNGIgår torsdag presenterade regeringen public service-proposition, där Tidö-partierna slår fast ramarna för Sveriges Radio, Sveriges Television och Utbildningsradion de kommande åtta åren. Trots ett i dag splittrat medielandskap, är lyssnandet på public service-radio stabilt och har till och med ökat lite. Livesänd radio och inte minst livesänd musikradio – som spåddes vara på väg ut i spåren av spellistekulturen – verkar enligt många bedömare ha en lysande framtid och ett exempel på det är Storbritannien. P1 Kulturs Thella Johnson har varit där och bland annat träffat radioprofilen Jamilla Walters på BBC 6 Music, som från och med pandemiåren haft en stadig ökning av unga lyssnare.KLASSIKERN OM MIKE KELLEYS KONSTVERK MOBILE HOMESTEADNyligen öppnade sommarens och höstens stora utställning på Moderna Museet i Stockholm - "Ghost and spirit" - med verk av den amerikanske konstnären Mike Kelley.

The Kazuo Ishiguro season continues with maybe his least known, maybe his least liked work: Nocturnes. Sitting between the mega-hit Never Let Me Go and the critical blockbuster The Buried Giant, this book is often overlooked and, maybe, it kind of deserves to be? But first, we talk GAMING - specifically Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 and The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, because our woke Marxist schools taught us that everything is a text.

Kazuo Ishiguro construye una distopía íntima y silenciosa, donde los personajes crecen bajo reglas que no comprenden del todo, pero que aceptan con una docilidad inquietante. En Nunca me abandones, el amor, la memoria y la dignidad persisten incluso cuando la vida parece escrita por otros. Una historia que no golpea con estridencia, sino que hiere con lo que sugiere y deja en la sombra.

Twenty years on – having been adapted for stage and screen and adopted as a set text for schools – it is Ishiguro's most read work, and is considered a modern classic.Why does this profoundly settling book continue to absorb us?

I denne episoden snakker vi om Derek Thompsons artikkel The Anti-Social Century, nylig publisert i det amerikanske tidsskriftet The Atlantic. Vi diskuterer ensomhet, både av den selvvalgte og den ufrivillige sorten, hva som gjør oss lykkelige, hva slags sosiale behov vi har og hvordan vi dekker disse i dagens kultur. Hva er det som får oss til å føle oss ensomme, kan sosiale media fungere symptomdempende på denne ensomheten, og hva slags adferdsmønstre tilbyr den kulturen vi lever i for å overkomme eller takle ensomhet? Og hvorfor er det å takle stress ikke noe vi mennesker gjør individuelt, men en sosial aktivitet? Hvorfor er det vanskeligere enn vi tror å koble av helt alene? Vi snakker også om hvorfor middagsselskaper er mindre vanlige nå enn før (men er dette sant?), hvordan infrastruktur kan støtte eller undergrave våre sosiale behov, nytten av ritualer for sosialisering, religion, spillkafeer og at gammeldans har blitt populært igjen blant unge.  To bøker som ikke ble nevnt i episoden, men som absolutt burde ha blitt det er romanen Klara and the sun av Kazuo Ishiguro, og den fantastiske selvhjelpsboken for foreldre, The Idle Parent av Tom Hodgkinson. Begge bøkene omhandler direkte mange av de tingene beskrevet i Thompsons artikkel.  Nevnt i episoden:  Derek Thompson, The Anti-Social Century, The Atlantic, https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2025/02/american-loneliness-personality-politics/681091/ Theo Von om porno, intervju med Scott Galloway, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W28jtvkjlpU  NRK artikkel om gutt som overtrente, https://www.nrk.no/sport/xl/niels-_15_-ma-ha-sjokomelk-og-dessert_-_-tenkte-jeg-bare-var-stol-1.17211522  Dag Solstad, Svik.

Cesky and Panda discuss The Garden by Nick Newman (released February 18, 2025). Described as "A darkly beautiful, eerie, hypnotic novel about two elderly sisters living alone at the edge of the world." Perhaps a more appropriate read for fans of The Road by Cormac McCarthy or Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. But don't expect much sff aspects to the story.Disclaimer: We received an ARC of The Garden from NetGalleyMusic: Galactic Damages by Jingle PunksDiscord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/FNcpuuA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BlueSky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bsky.app/profile/greenteampod.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.threads.net/@greenteampod⁠⁠⁠⁠ Reddit: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.reddit.com/r/thelegendarium/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Hey friends, in a world that feels like it's constantly throwing storms, floods, and fires our way (both literal and metaphorical), I want to share something that's been a true refuge for me – reading. Today I'm highlighting two books that have been a balm for my soul: Daniel Mason's "Northwoods," a beautiful story spanning centuries on a plot of Massachusetts land, and Kazuo Ishiguro's "Clara and the Sun," a fascinating exploration of artificial friends and human connection.

How has a writer known principally for his contained domestic novels come to represent the most dynamic elements of world literature? In Kazuo Ishiguro Against World Literature (Bloomsbury, 2025), Chris Holmes expands our understanding of how world literature engages with the most pressing crises of the 20th and 21st centuries by examining Ishiguro's fascination with characters who are profoundly constrained in their ability to understand global systems to which they are subject. Rather than following the established pattern of so-called global novels, which crisscross the planet exhibiting a knowing cosmopolitanism, Ishiguro's fictional engagement with the world comes principally in the form of characters who are cut off from the global systems that abuse them. By examining the ways in which Ishiguro foregrounds the in-process thinking of those who fail to comprehend their place in the flow of politics, culture, and ideas, Holmes positions Ishiguro as the great chronicler of everyday lives, and as such, prepares a mode of reading world literature that questions the assumptions for how we live and think with others when each of us is deeply limited. Chris Holmes is Associate Professor and Chair of Literatures in English at Ithaca College.

52: William Golding: A Literary Colossus

Slightly Foxed

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 15, 2025 59:06


The first title that springs to mind at the mention of William Golding's name is most often Lord of the Flies. The classic story of a group of schoolboys marooned on a desert island all but made his reputation and has somewhat overshadowed his twelve other novels. Golding was a fascinating and often troubled man, a voracious reader who enjoyed the Odyssey in Greek as well as Georgette Heyer and Jilly Cooper and was an influence on many novelists from Stephen King to Penelope Lively, Ben Okri and Kazuo Ishiguro. Definitely a writer ripe for rediscovery. Now, the Slightly Foxed team sit down with the author's daughter Judy and Golding expert Professor Tim Kendall to discuss the life and work of this brave and highly original writer, whose novels transport the reader to distant but entirely believable worlds. His work grapples with the big questions of existence but his originality as a writer sometimes worked against him, and Lord of the Flies was rejected by seven publishers before it was accepted by Charles Monteith at Faber. It was glowingly reviewed and became a bestseller but, behind the scenes, Golding was struggling with his addiction to alcohol and the fame his writing would bring him. After a poor reception from the critics for several of his following books, including both The Spire and The Pyramid, Golding was thrown into a deep depression. This crisis lasted over ten years, but when he finally returned to writing he went on to produce a series of successful novels – including Rites of Passage, winner of the 1980 Booker Prize. In 1983 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.  The usual round of reading recommendations include South from Granada, Gerald Brenan's recollection of the years he spent in an Andalusian village in the 1920s with visits from the Bloomsbury group; Robert Harris's Precipice, a semi-fictional account of the relationship in 1914 between Prime Minister Asquith, and Venetia Stanley, and Penelope Lively's novel Passing On.

Asya and Manu are looking at apartments, envisioning their future in a foreign city. What should their life here look like? What rituals will structure their days? Whom can they consider family? As the young couple dreams about the possibilities of each new listing, Asya, a documentarian, gathers footage from the neighborhood like an anthropologist observing local customs. "Forget about daily life," chides her grandmother on the phone. "We named you for a whole continent and you're filming a park." Back in their home countries parents age, grandparents get sick, nieces and nephews grow up-all just slightly out of reach. But Asya and Manu's new world is growing, too, they hope. As they open the horizons of their lives, what and whom will they hold onto, and what will they need to release? Unfolding over a series of apartment viewings, late-night conversations, last rounds of drinks and lazy breakfasts, The Anthropologists (Bloomsbury, 2024) is a soulful examination of homebuilding and modern love, written with Aysegül Savas' distinctive elegance, warmth, and humor. Aysegül Savas is the author of the acclaimed novels Walking on the Ceiling and White on White. Her work has been translated into six languages and has appeared in the New Yorker, the Paris Review, Granta, and elsewhere. She lives in Paris.

Real Americans (Knopf, 2024) begins on the precipice of Y2K in New York City, when twenty-two-year-old Lily Chen, an unpaid intern at a slick media company, meets Matthew. Matthew is everything Lily is not: easygoing and effortlessly attractive, a native East Coaster, and, most notably, heir to a vast pharmaceutical empire. Lily couldn't be more different: flat-broke, raised in Tampa, the only child of scientists who fled Mao's Cultural Revolution. Despite all this, Lily and Matthew fall in love. In 2021, fifteen-year-old Nick Chen has never felt like he belonged on the isolated Washington island where he lives with his single mother, Lily. He can't shake the sense she's hiding something. When Nick sets out to find his biological father, the journey threatens to raise more questions than it provides answers. In immersive, moving prose, Rachel Khong weaves a profound tale of class and striving, race and visibility, and family and inheritance--a story of trust, forgiveness, and finally coming home. Exuberant and explosive, Real Americans is a social novel par excellence that asks: Are we destined, or made? And if we are made, who gets to do the making? Can our genetic past be overcome? Rachel's debut novel, Goodbye, Vitamin, won the 2017 California Book Award for First Fiction, and was a Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist for First Fiction. From 2011 to 2016, she was the managing editor then executive editor of Lucky Peach magazine. With Lucky Peach, she also edited a cookbook about eggs, called All About Eggs. In 2018, she founded The Ruby, a work and event space for women and nonbinary writers and artists in San Francisco's Mission district; she retired from that role in 2021.
