Podcasts about Kent Haruf

In dieser Episode bespreche ich Kent Harufs fesselnde Erzählung „Abendrot“, die in der rauen, aber lebendigen Kleinstadt Holt, Colorado, spielt. Die Geschichte dreht sich um das Schicksal der Einwohner, die im Angesicht von Widrigkeiten und persönlichen Kämpfen einen Sinn im Leben suchen. Dabei erfährt der Zuhörer von den Herausforderungen, denen sich diverse Charaktere stellen müssen, darunter ein Ehepaar, das in einem verwahrlosten Trailer um ihre Würde und den Zusammenhalt ihrer Familie kämpft, und ein junger Junge, der sich liebevoll um seinen kranken Großvater kümmert, während er gleichzeitig seine eigene Rolle in einer schwierigen Welt findet. Harufs Figuren sind tiefgründig und komplex, und gerade die McPheron-Brüder und ihre Ziehtochter Victoria stehen im Mittelpunkt der Erzählung. Es wird beschrieben, wie sie Victoria unterstützen, die durch das Leben in Holt geprägt wird. Die Herausforderungen des Lebens sind omnipräsent: von der Armut, unter der Betty und Luther leiden, bis hin zu den subtilen, aber eindrucksvollen Beziehungen, die zwischen den Charakteren entstehen. Die Dynamik zwischen DJ und seinem Großvater bietet eine herzliche Perspektive auf familiäre Bindungen und die Ungewissheit, die in menschlichen Beziehungen besteht. Ich teile meine persönliche Rezension der Lektüre und beschreibe, wie Harufs empathische Darstellung der rauen Realitäten das Herz berührt. Insbesondere die Darstellung von Verlust und Trauer, wie sie im Schicksal eines der McFarlane-Brüder zum Ausdruck kommt, wird von mir als außerordentlich packend empfunden. Harufs Fähigkeit, diese Themen mit Sensibilität und echtem menschlichen Verständnis zu behandeln, schafft eine emotionale Verbindung, die beim Lesen zu Tränen rührt. Im Laufe der Episode reflektiere ich, wie das Leben in Holt von einer Vielzahl an Erfahrungen geprägt ist: von der Kargheit des Alltags bis hin zu den kleinen Momenten der Freude und Zuneigung, die das eigentliche Leben ausmachen. Trotz der Dramatik und der oft harten Realität bleibt der Text durchwegs warmherzig und bewegend. Auch die Übersetzung von Pachiao verdient Lob, da sie die Emotionen des Originals erfolgreich einfängt und dem Leser einfühlsame Einblicke gewährt. „Abendrot“ siegt nicht nur durch seine tiefgreifenden Themen, sondern lädt den Leser auch ein, in eine Welt einzutauchen, die sowohl herausfordernd als auch bereichernd ist. Ich würde mir wünschen, dass ich Kent Haruf früher entdeckt hätte, denn seine Geschichten sind es wert, gelesen zu werden. Abschließend empfehle ich, das Buch, welches 2019 im Diogenes Verlag erschienen ist, zu erwerben und selbst die Berührungen von Harufs Prosa zu erleben.

Ein langes, eigenständiges Leben steht oft im Widerspruch zu dem, was am Ende viele erwartet: die letzten Jahre im Altenheim. Hier treffen Bewohner*innen mit wenig verbleibender Lebenszeit auf Pflegekräfte, die unter hohem Zeitdruck arbeiten. Beide sind in den Ablauf des Betriebs eingezwängt. Hinter alltäglichen Gesprächen über das Wetter oder den Brotbelag offenbart sich die unausweichliche Vergänglichkeit des Lebens, die unaufhaltsam voranschreitet. „Fünf Flure, eine Stunde“ ist ein Wahrnehmungsspiel von Luise Voigt; alles ist echt und nicht echt zugleich. Am 20. Mai 2019 wurden in fünf Altenheimen zwischen 8 und 9 Uhr O-Töne aufgenommen. Diese wurden übereinandergelegt, transkribiert und von jungen Schauspieler*innen nachgespielt. Die Aufnahme fand in einem einzigen Take statt, ohne Schnitt und ohne vorproduzierte Musik oder Geräusche. Das Stück spiegelt die Hektik und die zwischenmenschliche Nähe im Pflegeheim wider und thematisiert die Zeitlichkeit des Lebens als ununterbrochenen „Take“.

Wie fühlt es sich an, wenn im Alter das Gedächtnis schwindet? Schon jetzt fallen uns manchmal Namen nicht ein. Wer sind all diese Menschen um einen herum? Darum geht es im heutigen Hörspiel „Vater“ von Florian Zeller. Der 80-jährige André ist eigentlich noch fit, doch seine Welt verändert sich - oder kann er sie nicht mehr erfassen? Ulrich Lampen inszeniert diese anrührende Geschichte über eine Familie, die mit Alzheimer konfrontiert wird, mit feinen und amüsanten Zwischentönen. Florian Zeller wurde für „Vater“ vielfach ausgezeichnet, 2020 sogar mit dem Oscar für das beste adaptierte Drehbuch zu „The Father“.

Ein zartes Hörspiel nach dem Roman von Marguerite Duras. Auf einer Parkbank treffen sich zwei Menschen, die auf den ersten Blick recht unterschiedlich scheinen: eine junge Hausangestellte, die von der weiten Welt kaum mehr kennt als diesen Park, und ein nicht mehr ganz junger Vertreter, der viel in der Welt herumgekommen ist. Doch so unterschiedlich sind die beiden nicht: Ihre Einsamkeit lässt sie auf der Bank verweilen, und es dauert nicht lange, bis sie sich öffnen. Indem jeder sein Leben, seine Illusionen und seine Enttäuschungen vor dem anderen ausbreitet, berühren sich plötzlich ihre Schicksale in einer Sphäre, die jenseits der Worte liegt. Unser Hörspieltipp: Weltliteratur von Kent Haruf, die unter die Haut geht. Unsere Seelen bei Nacht.: https://1.ard.de/unsere-seelen Von: Marguerite Duras Mit Ursula Dirichs, Manfred Lichterfels Regie: Hans-Dieter Schwarze hr 1960 | 69 Min (Audio verfügbar bis 08.09.2025)

Der zweite Teil des Hörspiels nach Goethes Trauerspiel, mit grandioser Musik von Ludwig van Beethoven. Kurz vor Ausbruch des Spanisch-Niederländischen Kriegs im Jahr 1568 ist die Stimmung in Brüssel angespannt. Der junge Graf Egmont, angelehnt an den historischen Grafen Lamoral von Egmont, macht sich durch seine klugen Ratschläge und sein mildes Auftreten beliebt. Doch er überschreitet die Grenzen und Sitten des Adels, als er sich in Clärchen verliebt, eine junge Frau aus bürgerlichem Hause. Weder seine Berater noch Clärchens Mutter heißen diese Verbindung gut. Doch Egmont folgt seinen eigenen Prinzipien, was ihm bald zum Verhängnis zu werden droht: Der spanische König hat bereits große Teile des Landes besetzt und rüstet sich zum Angriff auf den Wohlstand des niederländischen Adels. Trotz der Warnungen seiner Berater ignoriert Egmont die Gefahr. Wird er die richtigen Allianzen schmieden, um seinem Schicksal zu entkommen und die Niederlande zu befreien?

Der Hörspielklassiker „Das Haus des himmlischen Entzückens“ basiert auf Joseph Conrads erstem Roman „Almayers Wahn“. Almayer, ein ehemaliger Händler, der mittellos an der Ostküste Borneos festsitzt, hat lediglich seine Tochter Nina und die Hoffnungen auf die Reichtümer im Innern der Insel. Doch werden auch diese Hoffnungen erstickt, wie die Bäume von den tropischen Schlingpflanzen? Joseph Conrad gilt als einer der wichtigsten Schriftsteller des 19. Jahrhunderts. Seine Tätigkeit für die Handelsmarine hat sein Werk geprägt. Doch trotz aufkommender Kritik an einer teilweisen Verharmlosung der Auswirkungen des Kolonialismus, wird sein Werk für die tiefgründige Erforschung der menschlichen Psyche und die atmosphärische Dichte seiner Prosa geschätzt.

Joseph Conrad gilt als einer der wichtigsten englischsprachigen Autoren des 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine Karriere begann er als Seemann in der französischen und britischen Handelsmarine, was ihm tiefe Einblicke in die menschliche Natur und die geopolitischen Spannungen seiner Zeit ermöglichte. Diese Erfahrungen prägten seine literarischen Werke maßgeblich. Doch trotz aufkommender Kritik an einer teilweisen Verharmlosung der Auswirkungen des Kolonialismus, wird sein Werk für die tiefgründige Erforschung der menschlichen Psyche und die atmosphärische Dichte seiner Prosa geschätzt.

Addie und Louis sind Nachbarn, über 70 Jahre alt und beide verwitwet. Sie treffen sich jede Nacht in Addies Bett, um zu reden, Nähe zu teilen und ihre Einsamkeit zu vertreiben. Das Umfeld tut sich schwer damit, denn auch in modernen Gesellschaften werden Liebe und Sex im Alter vielfach tabuisiert. Können die beiden ihre besondere Beziehung gegen die Widerstände aufrechterhalten? „Unsere Seelen bei Nacht“, nach dem Roman von Kent Haruf, ist eine zarte Geschichte über das Älterwerden.

Jordi Soler es hijo y nieto de la de republicanos catalanes que llegaron a México. Hoy ha entrado en la Biblioteca de Hoy por Hoy con su última novela "En el reino del toro sagrado" (Alfaguara) , una historia de nuestro tiempo con la mitología griega y mexicana de fondo.  Es una novela muy marcada por tres elementos: el poder, la belleza y el deseo. De sus equilibrios y desequilibrios dependen su desarrollo y su final. Apasionante y brutal que diría Antonio Martínez Asensio que también no ha traído sus tres libros relacionados con la actualidad: "La conjura de América" de Philip Roth (Random House) que  la relaciona con la imparable carrera de Donald Trump en las primarias,  "El año del desierto" de Pedro Mairal (Libros del Asteroide) que recomienda para entender (o no) las primeras decisiones de Milei en Argentina, y "Frankenstein o el moderno Prometeo" de Mary Selley (Random House) porque se escribió bajo los efecto climáticos de un volcán reactivado en el siglo XIX como ahora se ha reactivado el Popocatepet. Jordi Soler, además de regalarnos su nueva novela, ha donado otros dos títulos a La Biblioteca de Hoy por Hoy  "Los ejércitos" de Evelio Rosero (Tusquets) y "Agua quemada" de Carlos Fuentes (Alfaguara). Las novedades del empleado Pepe Rubio fueron "Los aerostatos" de Amelie Nothmb (Anagrama) y "Baumgartner" de Paul Auster (Seix Barral) . Pascual Donate rescató entre los libros perdidos en la redacción de la SER uno de fotografía,  "Tierra de sueños" de Cristina García Rodero (Editado por Fundación La Caixa) . Asensio también nos dejo "La tribuna" de Emilia Pardo Bazán (Cátedra) que será su libro semanal del programa "Un libro, una hora". Y por último recibimos las donaciones de los oyentes que han sido este viernes "Nosotros en la noche" de Kent Haruf (Random House),  "Amar lo que es" de Byron Katie (bookspocket4) y "El perro de Terracota" de Andrea Camilleri (Salamandra)

Viele Jahre war der US-amerikanische Schriftsteller Kent Haruf nur ein literarischer Geheimtip. Richtig bekannt wurde der 2014 verstorbene Autor erst posthum mit seinem letzten Roman "Unsere Seelen bei Nacht", der mit Jane Fonda und Robert Redford in den Hauptrollen verfilmt wurde und 2017 in die Kinos kam. Danach wollte man - auch hierzulande - endlich mehr wissen über Kent Haruf und seine insgesamt sechs Romane, für deren Erst- und Neuübersetzung der Diogenes Verlag verantwortlich zeichnet. Die Wiederentdeckung der im fiktiven Ort Holt/Colorado angesiedelten Roman-Serie wird mit "Das Band, das uns hält" abgeschlossen. Frank Dietschreit hat das Buch gelesen.

Olá a todas, todes e todos. Sejam muito bem-vindos ao Lavadeiras do São Francisco. No dia 13 de junho de 2023, fomos surpreendidos com a notícia da partida de Cormac McCarthy. O autor estadunidense é um dos maiores nomes da literatura contemporânea, deixando a sua marca inconfundível em romances como Meridiano de Sangue, Onde os velhos não têm vez e na sua Trilogia da Fronteira (que o Ivandro chamou em todo o episódio de Trilogia da Planície, essa do escritor Kent Haruf). O autor, que tem parte de sua obra fora de catálogo, tem tido o relançamento de livros no Brasil, bem como o lançamento de seu díptero O passageiro e Stella Maris. Ivandro Menezes e o escritor, professor e pesquisador João Matias, agora integrante do Lavadeiras, conversam sobre o Cormac, sua obra e influência. FICHA TÉCNICA Apresentação, gravação e edição: ⁠Ivandro Menezes⁠ Roteiro: ⁠João Matias ⁠e Ivandro Menezes Esse episódio usou trilhas livres de direitos autorais e vinheta do filme Onde os fracos não têm vez.  REDES SOCIAIS O Lavadeiras do São Francisco está no ⁠Instagram⁠, ⁠Twitter⁠ e ⁠Facebook⁠.

We have both done some traveling since the last episode. Emily was in Colorado and Utah and Chris was in North Carolina and Illinois. You know we hit some bookstores, which you'll hear about in our Biblio-Adventures segment. We've also checked off two #BigBookSummer reads! Emily finished the Plainsong Series by Kent Haruf and Chris enjoyed her re-read of The Historian by Elisabeth Kostova. Some of the other books we discuss in this episode include Vacationland by Meg Mitchell Moore, My Autobiography of Carson McCullers: A Memoir by Jenn Shapland, Signal Fires by Dani Shapiro (out 10/18/2022), Cat's in the Navy by Scot Christenson, and The Local: A Legal Thriller by Joey Hartstone.

Some highlights in this episode: Emily and Chris have kicked off their reading for Sue Jackson's Big Book Summer reading challenge! Both Book Cougars are starting off with re-reads: Chris is re-reading THE HISTORIAN by Elizabeth Kostova and Emily is reading Kent Haruf's Prairie series. She's already re-read the first novel, PLAINSONG, and is now into EVENTIDE. In biblio adventures, we had a great time at Soho Press's dinner celebrating two of their authors: Ramona Emerson (SHUTTER, coming out in August) and Marcie Rendon (SINISTER GRAVES, the third book in the Sue Grafton Award-nominated crime series set in the 1970s in the Red River Valley and featuring 19-year-old Cash Blackbear, an Ojibwe woman (pubbing in October). The event was held at Chef Sherry Pocknett's world-famous Sly Fox Den Too indigenous restaurant in Charlestown, Rhode Island. We had the great privilege of talking with award winning, legendary audiobook narrator SIMON VANCE. As we say in his introduction, if you don't know Simon's name, if you're an audiobook listener, chances are good that you' know his voice. Happy Listening! P.S. If you enjoy our content, please consider leaving a review on iTunes or on whatever app you use to listen to us. Thank you!

We dedicate this episode to Jenny Colvin, host of the Reading Envy podcast. We were stunned and deeply saddened to learn of her sudden death. Jenny will be deeply missed by the book community. Our thoughts are with her loved ones and family. On this episode we recap our biblioadventure to Manchester, VT for Booktopia at the Northshire Bookstore, which included stops at a charming library and several bookstores on the way there and back. Chris also attended two online events — one through the Maine Women Writers Collection featuring Dawn Potter, Elizabeth De Wolfe, and Carol A. Dana. The other online event was Mondays at Beinecke presentation by Gabrielle Colangelo about her exhibition, “We Are Everywhere: Lesbians in the Archive.” Our second quarter readalong pick was a hit with listeners — TWO OLD WOMEN by Velma Wallis. Thumbs up all around. Emily also read Wallis' memoir, RAISING OURSELVES: A GWITCH'IN COMING OF AGE STORY FROM THE YUKON RIVER and Chris dipped into BIRD GIRL AND THE MAN WHO FOLLOWED THE SUN. We'll announce our third quarter readalong on episode 159. Chris enjoyed THE FERVOR by Alma Katsu. We also read two forthcoming novels that we couldn't wait to get to! Emily read THE LIES I TELL by Julie Clark (release date 6/21/22) and Chris SHUTTER by Ramona Emerson (release date 8/2/22). Are you ready for the Big Book Summer Challenge? We are! It's the 10th anniversary of this popular reading challenge and we had the pleasure of sitting down with creator and host, Sue Jackson. We know half of the world is easing into winter, but here in the US we're gearing up for summer. The Big Book Summer Challenge runs from Memorial day (May 27) to Labor Day (September 5, 2022). Emily is going to read Kent Haruf's PLAINSONG SERIES and Chris will read THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS by Isabel Wilkerson. If you'd like to do buddy reads with either (or both!) of us, we'll have discussion threads up on Goodreads on May 27th. As for what we're currently reading, listen and find out!

Certi libri ci entrano dentro, ci leggono nel profondo e ci raccontano meglio di chiunque altro, persino di noi stessi. E così, ritrovandoci con le spalle al muro, non possiamo far altro che pensare: "avrei voluto scriverlo io un libro così".  Nella puntata di oggi vi raccontiamo i libri che avremmo voluto scrivere noi:

El norteamericano Kent Haruf fue mi escritor revelación este 2020 En este podcast hablaremos de sus novelas y te comentaré en exclusivo mi cuaderno de anotaciones personales sobre su obra. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/karencodner/message

Unsere Gesellschaft wird immer älter: 28 Prozent aller Mitbürgerinnen und Mitbürger sind derzeit älter als 60 Jahre – Tendenz steigend. Welche Folgen hat dieser demographische Wandel für unsere Gesellschaft? Ist das Alter eigentlich eine Zeit der Einschränkungen oder der Freiheit? Und was kann die jüngere Generation von den Älteren lernen? In »Seniorendemokratie« erläutert Emanuel Richter, wie wichtig es ist, dass möglichst viele Menschen jeglichen Alters als politische Profis oder als politische Laien, als Betroffene und als Akteure öffentlich sichtbar werden und die Politik mitgestalten – und warum wir die herrschenden Altersbilder kritisch durchdenken müssen. In »Besser spät als nie« berichtet die 80-jährige Mechthild Grossmann, aufgezeichnet von ihrer Enkelin Dorothea Wagner, über ihre Erfahrungen und Gedanken rund ums Älterwerden. Sie schildert, warum das Alter einem keine Angst machen muss und warum es viele Vorzüge bietet – verschweigt dabei aber nicht die Schwierigkeiten, sondern zeigt, wie daraus etwas Positives erwachsen kann. Nicole Andries hat in »Wir wollen es nochmal wissen« die Geschichten von 15 Frauen versammelt, die im Alter noch einmal berufliche Neuanfänge wagen. In ihrem Buch zeigt sie, dass Jugendlichkeit kein Lebensabschnitt ist, sondern eine Lebenshaltung. »Unsere Seelen bei Nacht« von Kent Haruf, 2017 im Diogenes Verlag erschienen, erzählt von der Begegnung zweier älterer Menschen und zeigt, dass auch der Neubeginn in der Liebe keine Altersgrenze kennt.

Als 2014 Kent Haruf mit 71 Jahren starb, kannten diesen Schriftsteller außerhalb der Vereinigten Staaten nur wenige Leser. Langsam aber beginnt sich das zu ändern. Auch dank des Diogenes Verlags, der sich im Deutsch-sprachigen Raum des Werkes angenommen hat. Jetzt kam „Kostbare Tage“ heraus. - Frank Dietschreit hat das Buch gelesen.

Buchtipp: Kent Haruf: Kostbare Tage - Hörprobe gelesen von Biggi Müller

WDR 4 Bücher-Expertin Elke Heidenreich hat ein sehr emotionales und tröstendes Buch zu "Knispel am Sonntag" mitgebracht: "Kostbare Tage" von Kent Haruk. Es handelt von einem Mann, dessen Leben sich dem Ende neigt - eine lesenswerte Geschichte über Leben und Tod. Von Elke Heidenreich.

Kurz von seinem Tod hat Kent Haruf einen Roman über das Sterben geschrieben. In "Kostbare Tage" lässt er das Triviale mit dem Existentiellen in einer Kleinstadt zusammentreffen. Stilistisch nicht brillant, aber bestechend genau beobachtet. Von Gabriele von Arnim www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Buchkritik Hören bis: 19.01.2038 04:14 Direkter Link zur Audiodatei

Ein Roman von Kent Haruf - vorgestellt auf NDR Kultur.

Over the past month, Sofia and Ashley have been compiling a list of all the best books and authors to share with the Travel Brats Tribe. We’ve asked friends, family, and our listeners for what books they love and why, so now we have a big list of some of the greatest novels of all time. We’ve got a little bit of everything from nonfiction to historical fiction to mystery to romance, so delve on into our comprehensive book recommendations.Top picks for NONFICTION:Dreams of Eldorado: A History of the American West. By W.H. Brand     This overview of the history of the West is exciting and beautifully written. Lewis and Clark, The Texas Revolution, California Gold Rush, wild San Francisco, Building the Trans-Continental Rail Road, over  the Sierras and across the plains which are  filled with Indians, one-armed John John Westly Powell leading the first expedition down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, John Coulter discovering  Yellowstone and the Tetons( in mid-winter), all incredible, separate stories that, in combination,  depict what the West was like and why it is still so much a part of the American spirit. The Second World Wars By Victor Davis Hanson     You may be wondering how someone could write anything new about WWII. But Dr.Hanson does. He has a commanding understanding of the grand strategy and tactics of each combatant nation, their strengths, and weaknesses, economically and militarily, who had the best weapons, how geography affected battles, and much more. It is just a very creative explanation of  the overall inexorability of the of the Allied victory (as long as they didn’t make too many blunders). If you would like a shorter and lighter example of what an inspiring writer Dr.Hanson is, try The Savior Generals, which shows how important leadership can be(examples in the book are: William Tecumseh Sherman, Mathew Ridgeway, and David Petraeus). A Team of Rivals  By Doris Kearns Goodwin This is about Abraham Lincoln and the brilliant men he chose for his cabinet, nearly all of whom wanted his job. There good mini-biographies of each cabinet member and his relationship with Lincoln. The most revealing is the relation with William Seward, who, brilliant in his own right, initially was Lincoln’s biggest rival and most severe critic. But Seward is smart enough to quickly realize that   Lincoln is in a class of his own and is far and away from the best man for the difficult times ahead. How Seward then becomes Lincoln’s most trusted and valuable advisor one of the great stories in this masterpiece. The Thomas Sowell Reader: By Thomas Sowell    This is a compilation of short essays explaining, with humor, wit, and logic, how economics really works in our everyday lives. No graphs or equations,but clear lessons. Dr. Sowell has written many         other engaging and brilliant books, all recommended..The Aviators By Winston Groom    This is the story of the early days of aviation from before WWI through WWII as seen and lived by three remarkable aviation pioneers. Eddie Rickenbacker was a mechanic then race car driver ,who became America’s WWI ace fighter pilot. After the war , he founded and was president of Eastern Airlines, among other things. Jimmy Doolittle not only led the early air raid on Tokyo in WWII, he was a  pioneer in developing and flight testing aviation instrumentation. Charles Lindberg is known for being the first person to solo the Atlantic, but he also flew 40 combat missions as a civilian in WWII and greatly improved fighter plane engine performance. This is great adventure.    Top FICTION PicksOpen Season: By C.J. Box This is the first in a series of mysteries about game warden, Joe Pickett as he solves mysteries in the rugged mountains of Wyoming. Well plotted stories with engaging character development and great descriptions of the Wyoming wilderness.The Black Echo: By Michael ConnellyThis is the first in a series about police detective Harry Bosch. These mysteries are filled with rich, detailed descriptions of the grittier sides of LA, along with police department political intrigue and multiple plots. The have a compelling feeling of authenticity. The author was a police reporter before he started writing fiction.South of Broad: By Pat Conroy He has written so many great books, that it is difficult to pick just one. Most are about the South Carolina coastal region, and all are beautifully written with vivid description of this amazing area. South of Brond is his last and my favorite by an eyelash.The Gods Themselves: BY Isaac Asimov. Dr. Asimov is one of the giants of the Golden Age of science fiction. This book is perhaps even more timely today ( about free clean energy) than when it was published in 1972. It consists of three stories,one the near the future on earth, one a beautifully described alternative universe, and lastly, a very plausible story on our moon after it is colonized. All stories seem totally independent until the end. This is engaging and imaginative writing and would be a great introduction to science fiction.  War and Peace: By Leo TolstoyThis really is a fun and exciting read with sweeping grandeur and lots of subplots. Not at all dull like most books that are” classics”. OK it is long.-even better. A miniseries in one volume.Think of it as Downton Abbey in Russia,in the middle of a war. It will not take you 5 years to read. Promise!Top Picks for Fiction Continued 1.  Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf     This is a story of the relationship between a widower and a widow  who are in their 70's.  They are acquainted as neighbors in a small rural town in eastern Colorado. This is a bittersweet tale of two lonely people who get to know each other better; sharing thoughts and feelings during the night which they agree can be so terribly lonely.  A beautiful story of second chances unfolds in this author's last book before his death.2.  A Painted House by John Grisham     This is a story narrated by a 7-year old farm boy(Luke) who lives in Arkansas with his parents & grandparents in a house that has never been painted. The family has a hard life picking cotton on an 80 acre farm that they rent. They have to hire Mexican  immigrants and hill people from the Ozarks to help them at harvest time. This book is referred to as a  "real slice of Americana" with vivid descriptions of life in the rural South in the 1950's.   Young Luke has a dream of being a Major League baseball player and looks forward to listening to games on the radio.  While this novel portrays some of the mundane experiences of his life, it also includes some harsh realities and a loss of innocence that he experiences.  The author usually writes legal thrillers, none of which I read.  But I found John Grisham to be a superb storyteller.  And I found this book to be a moving story of a portion of a  young  boy's life.3.  Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens (Very Highly Recommended)     This is a mesmerizing story of the richness of the North Carolina coastal marshlands and the disturbing story of a young woman who is abandoned by her parents and older siblings as a young child.  As the story unfolds we learn how she adapts and survives in the swamps with very little help from the outside world. And it also includes a love story and a murder-mystery tale.  So this book has a little bit of everything.  This book is so beautifully written and contains poetry and vivid descriptions of the Marsh where the entire story takes place.4.  Just for good measure, I have to mention 3 other books by the author of my #1 selection--Kent Haruf.  They are:  Plainsong,  Where You Once Belonged  and  The Tie That Binds.  All three of these are compelling and compassionate novels set in the High Plains of Colorado. The author is an amazing storyteller who captures the everyday lives of various people in a small rural community.Top Picks For Mystery, Drama, and Historical Fiction: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (Ashley’s favorite book of all time, and has a first edition)Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Anne Burns (Suzi S/O)Kite Runner by Khalid HosseiniThe Book Thief & I am the Messenger by Markus ZusakThe Woman in the Window by AJ FinnThe Pilot’s Wife & Last Time They Met by Anita ShreveThe Girl in the Blue Beret by Bobbie Ann MasonThe Tattooist of Aschwitz by Heather MorrisPachinko by Min Jinn Leethe Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks,The Irishman by Charles BrandtWhiskey Beach by Nora Roberts,A Southern Family Gail GodwinMy sister's Keeper and All the Small Things by Jodi Pidcolut,China rich Girlfriend by Kevin KwanBest Authors Recommended:Pat ConroyJames MichenerErnest Hemingway (Ashley loves him)Willa CatherFerrol SamsTom WolfeCJ BoxJohn GrishamSue GraftonKathy ReichsPeter MayleLeon UrisJames Patterson (Mysteries)Top Series PicksMiss Marple seriesHercule Poirot series --my favorite is Murder on the Orient Express Harry Potter The Alex Rider series by Anthony HorowitzOUR LISTENERS’ FAVORITE BOOKS (Thank you Hannah)Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte19th century Gothic Romance novel that follows the hard life of Jane Eyre in her journey to meeting and falling in love with her employer, Mr. Rochester, but she runs into trouble when she realizes that Rochester is keeping his first wife hostage in their attic.The Monk by Matthew Gregory Lewis18th century Gothic Horror novel that follows much of the plot of a modern soap opera. This novel details the depraved nature of a monk who sells his soul to his cross-dressing friend who turns out to be a woman, who then turns out to be a demon sent from hell to tempt him. Through his deal with the demon he tries to fulfill his sexual desires toward a young woman in his village who ends up being his long lost sister. Churches burn, people are poisoned, raped, and trampled to death. Pretty saucy for the 1700’s. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradburyset in a dystopian, futuristic society (likely America) where reading is outlawed, anyone who owns a book is arrested, and the book is promptly burned. The citizens are held captive by cool technology and entertainment so they do not realize that the government is completely taking over their minds and stifling knowledge. Waiting for the Barbarians by J.M. Coetzeeset in an unnamed, futuristic society where members of “the Empire” are waiting to be attacked by “the Barbarians”. The main character ends up bringing a Barbarian girl to his home after she is captured and tortured by the Empire. There are lots of really weird, sexual bathing scenes, but ultimately, this novel is a commentary on racial injustice in South African apartheid. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austensuch a popular story, but many people have only seen the movie. If you read the book, you get to see the personalities of Darcy and Elizabeth so much clearer which makes their relationship so fun. Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhysthis is a prequel to Jane Eyre that shows the origin story of Bertha, Rochester’s first wife and how she came to be “the mad-woman in the attic.” It made me cry.Dracula by Bram Stokerthe 19th century Gothic/Horror story that many people know so well but have never actually read. Follows a team of vampire hunters led by a Dutch professor after Jonathan iis kidnapped and held hostage by Count Dracula. The team must race against time before Mina is forever un-dead and made to be Dracula’s wife. Super creepy, and uncomfortably sexual, lots of blood, kinda saucy. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronteanother 19th century Gothic Romance novel with a much more sinister and creepy love interest. Lots of Ghosts, some weird love triangles, and lots of useless violence. Rad. A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickensarguably the best Dickens book. It’s about two men, one British and one French, fighting over the same girl during the French Revolution. Literally anything by Agatha Christie-- Christie is known as the “Queen of Murder” and she is the most widely published author of all time. She wrote 80 novels and short story collections and 19 plays. Here are my favorite titles of her work and plays:The Mousetrap-the longest running play in historyAnd Then There Were None (also called Ten Little Indians)Appointment with DeathThe HollowWitness for the ProsecutionTowards ZeroVerdictGo Back for Murder Honorable MentionsPrince of TidesHawaiiThe Giver by Lois LowryBetsey, A Memoir with Mark VitulanoMademoiselle ChanelAtlas ObscureA Little Life by Hanya YanagiharaA Moment of Lift by Melinda GatesThank you Sofia’s grandpa, Shelia, Sebastian, Caleigh, Jenny, Rachael, Hannah, and all of the wonderful people who made suggestions and recommendations!

FEEDBACK Starsight by Brandon Sanderson (rec’d by Elizabeth) QUESTIONS 1. Good Morning! I recently came across your podcast and I absolutely love it! You’re recommendations in the past couple episodes are amazing and the diversity of hosts with their unique tastes and conversations really makes this one of my favorite podcasts. I am about to start my PhD in August and really would like to make reading a bigger part of my life so I can have an escape from the stress of school over the next 5 years. Up until now I have mainly been reading nonfiction books in areas I am interested in but since I read a lot of scientific papers for class already I would like to break this up by getting more into fiction. My problem however is that I have a hard time getting into fiction works and a lot of times I end up either reading it like it’s homework that I have to read or I just don’t finish it. There are a few fictions books that I do really enjoy however such as, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, The Count of Monte Cristo, 11/23/63 and Ready Player One. I would really appreciate any recommendations and I look forward to listening to all your future podcasts. Thank you so much! -Chase 2. Hello! In late August (time-sensitive!) I am heading away to Europe for a few weeks travelling with my boyfriend between cities he will be working in, and as well as the 40 hour (!!) travel time there and back from where I live in New Zealand, we will be spending a lot of time on trains, and I’ll be exploring on my own while he is working. I’m hoping to fill a lot of this time with reading, and I’m keen to get some suggestions set in the areas we will be in – various cities in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany – or stories about trains. I’d love something with good female characters and some focus on the relationships between them, or maybe a little bit of mystery. I also love narrative non-fiction! At the moment I am a little burnt out on historical fiction, thrillers, and books with dark subject matter, so I’d rather steer clear of those, and nothing over 400 pages or so please, for the sake of my baggage allowance. Thanks so much! -Alex 3. I recently had to put down one of my dogs very suddenly. I want to read something, but my usual genre of adventure/ya doesn’t sound appealing. I was currently reading Throne of Glass (and loving it) but it just is too much right now. I want something light that’ll make me laugh but with no death in it. Especially of a pet. I recently read Tiffany hadish’s book, and I loved it, but I don’t typically reread non fiction. -Taylor 4. Sort of time sensitive. Would need by September. Hi! My book club has been going for about 2.5 years now and I have unofficially (but kind of officially) taken over October as my month with the intent of making the group read some super creepy shit. My last 2 picks were White Tears and The Changeling. Both have really stuck with people–whether they loved them, liked them, or kind of hated them–and we particularly had a lot of great conversation about White Tears. I feel like a bar has now been set (albeit just in my own head) and want to pick something in a similar vein, but am struggling to have that “ah-ha” moment. Please help me seriously creep out my friends! Preferably something no more than 300/350 pages and by a woman. We do have one rule: no white men! Some other things that I have recently read and really enjoyed (but would probably be too much, for varied reasons, for the whole group) are: The Beauty (btw, thanks Amanda!) and Fever Dream. Thank you -Heidi 5. I am looking for recommendations for my Dad, Myron. He retired a couple of years ago and has rediscovered – aka found more time for – his love of reading! His favourite genres are spy novels, mysteries, and historical fiction. We often chat about the books we are reading, and thanks to discussions we’ve had about MY personal reading habits and goals, he has started looking for more books authored by women and with lady protagonists. I am so excited that he is diversifying his reading list – and so is he! I would love to find him some more books by women (and non-binary) authors in the genres he loves! -Lisa 6. Hi! I love your podcast and have been listening forever, so I’m sure you’ve answered this at some point and I just don’t know where to look for it. My husband only does audiobooks, and when he finishes something, he often asks for my opinion on what to read next. He only reads fantasy and sci-fi, for the most part, and has listened to EVERYTHING Brandon Sanderson has ever written. I’ve recommended (and he’s liked): The Wheel of Time series Everything by N.K. Jemisin Becky Chambers’s Wayfarers pretty much everything by Marissa Meyer Bone Street Rumba and Shadowshaper series by Daniel Jose Older He’s also read a bunch of John Scalzi, Jim Butcher, Neil Gaiman–mostly white dudes, so I try to recommend non-white or lady (or both) authors to him. Some things he hasn’t cared for: Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Game of Thrones, American Gods, or Shards of Honor (I recommended based on a Star Trek comparison I heard in an earlier episode of either this podcast or SFF Yeah). Can you recommend a SFF series by a non-white or lady author that I can suggest to him? The longer, the better. Thank you!! -Jaimie 7. I’m looking for short, engrossing, quiet novels that I can curl up and read in my armchair in a sitting or two. It’s more about a cozy feeling than about a lot of action. Recent books I have loved that fit this description include: Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf, Whiskey and Ribbons by Leesa Cross-Smith, and I Married you for Happiness by Lily Tuck. None of these books sounded terribly exciting in their descriptions, but I couldn’t put them down and they made me feel all of the big feelings without a lot of action. Please help me chase those feelings again. -KJ BOOKS DISCUSSED Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas (tw: eating disorders, self-harm, suicidal ideation) The Madonna of the Sleeping Cars by Maurice Dekobra Everything Is Going to be Great by Rachel Shukert Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons Dealing with Dragons by Patricia Wrede Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrande The Merry Spinster by Daniel Mallory Ortberg Bitter Orange by Claire Fuller Bluebird, Bluebird by Attica Locke (lots of racism incl. violence and use of slurs) Queen of the Tearling series by Erika Johansen The Machineries of Empire by Yoon Ha Lee (Ninefox Gambit #1) (tws: coercion, gore, assault) The Cook by Maylis de Kerangal, transl Sam Taylor Dept. of Speculation by Jenny Offill

Nicola Steiner, Martin Ebel, Milo Rau und – als Gast – der Kabarettist Dirk Stermann diskutieren die wichtigen Bücher im Juni: -Kent Haruf: «Abendrot». Diogenes, 2019 -Daniel Mendelsohn: «Eine Odyssee». Siedler, 2019 -Jean-Baptiste Del Amo: «Tierreich». Matthes & Seitz, 2019 -Anna Enquist: «Denn es will Abend werden». Luchterhand, 2019 «Abendrot» von Kent Haruf feiert die Kraft von Freundschaften und Wahlverwandtschaften, wo die klassischen Familien versagen. Harufs literarischer Kosmos, in dem alle seine Figuren nach dem Glück suchen, ist die fiktive Kleinstadt Holt in Colorado.

Three-day weekends are the new reality for students in nearly half of Colorado's school districts. Tight budgets have led to shorter school weeks, and hourly staff having their hours cut. But there's some evidence it hasn't hurt student performance. Then, the late Colorado author Kent Haruf didn't live to see it, but Robert Redford and Jane Fonda are playing characters he created. His last book, "Our Souls At Night," is now a movie.

With footy finals fever in the air, especially for Richmond fans, Caro and Corrie are joined by special guest Anna from the Op Shop (aka Anna Barry) Caro's oldest friend and die hard Tigers fan.  On the agenda, the AFL's support for same-sex marriage, the wonderful world of your local Op Shop and Nicole Kidman's triumph at the Emmys.

Els autors internacionals centren el reportatge d'avui del "Llibres per escoltar" dedicat a Sant Jordi. Hakan G

This week on StoryWeb: Kent Haruf’s novel Plainsong. One of the pure delights in moving to Colorado eleven years ago was discovering a whole new crop of regional writers – in this case, Western writers. If you’ve followed StoryWeb for a while, you know I love American regional literature – especially Southern and Appalachian literature (but throw in a little Sarah Orne Jewett for the Maine coast, why don’t ya?). I quickly discovered that the West is richly endowed with powerful, powerful writers. Willa Cather helped set the scene, and well-known later writers like Annie Proulx, Pam Houston, Kim Barnes, and Wallace Stegner followed in her footsteps. Up-and-coming writers like Julene Bair delve into issues of great concern to the region. Among my favorite Western writers is Kent Haruf, whose novels are set on the flat plains of eastern Colorado. This is not a part of the country that gets much attention, and when people hear “Colorado,” they’re thinking Rocky Mountains, not hard-scrabble farming and small-town life on the high arid Plains. Haruf – who was born in Pueblo, Colorado, and grew up in small towns in eastern Colorado – understood that this seemingly quiet region could be a deep mine of richly lived life. Where better to examine human character, to see what really makes people tick? Published in 1999, Plainsong is the first novel in Haruf’s Plainsong trilogy set in the fictional community of Holt, Colorado, based on the town of Yuma, where Haruf spent part of his childhood. The novel is quiet indeed. Though the plot lines are unlikely, the characters always ring true. A newly single father struggles to raise his two young sons. Elderly unmarried brothers take in a pregnant teenager. Who knew life in a tiny Colorado town could be so complex and nuanced, so rich and provocative? Haruf knew – and he lets us in on the secrets of small-town life on the Plains. I have long enjoyed walking in the twilight of the evening just as people are preparing their suppers and turning on their lights. Call me a voyeur if you must, but I love getting glimpses into private homes, seeing how people settle in and comfort themselves after a long day. It is this view of the world – spying (almost) on private lives – that draws me to Kent Haruf’s work. I purely love the way Plainsong opened up a new world to me, a world that, as it turns out, had been there all along. To learn more about Haruf and Plainsong, read the New York Times’s fine review of the novel as well as the Times’s obituary of the acclaimed writer. Read the final interview with Haruf before his death from lung cancer in 2014. Watch a video tribute to Plainsong, and enjoy a pictorial exploration of Haruf’s fictional Holt County. Ready to read the book itself? You can start by reading the opening of the book online. Of course, you’ll want a hard copy of Plainsong as this is a book you’ll want to curl up with in an armchair, a good cup of tea at hand. Visit thestoryweb.com/haruf for links to all these resources and to watch Kent Haruf talk about his novel Plainsong. The next time you drive through Kansas or Nebraska or eastern Colorado and think you’re passing through empty country, read Plainsong and be reminded of the rich lives people live everywhere.

Kent Haruf's last book. Sad, sweet, honest. Listen as we discuss.

When students returned to the University of Northern Colorado this week they were joined by four new classmates with intellectual disabilities. Also,in Kent Haruf's final novel "Our Souls At Night," people in the fictional town of Holt are scandalized when they hear news about two of their neighbors. Jane Fonda and Robert Redford will star in the film adaptation of Haruf's book for Netflix.

In the tradition of Richard Ford, Annie Proulx, and Kent Haruf comes a dazzling debut story collection by a young writer from the American West who has been published in The New Yorker, Granta, and The Best American Short Stories. A construction worker on the run from the shady local businessman whose dog he has stolen; a Custer’s Last Stand reenactor engaged in a long-running affair with the Native American woman who slays him on the battlefield every year; a middle-aged high school janitor caught in a scary dispute over land and cattle with her former stepson: Callan Wink’s characters are often confronted with predicaments few of us can imagine. But thanks to the humor and remarkable empathy of this supremely gifted writer, the nine stories gathered in Dog Run Moon are universally transporting and resonant. - Amazon The Avid Reader Show is sponsored and produced by Wellington Square Bookshop in Chester County, PA.
