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)

Moore's photographs are held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Yale University Art Gallery, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Library of Congress amongst many other institutions. He has received a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation in 2014, and has as well been award grants by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the J M Kaplan Fund. His most recent book, Blue Alabama, with a preface by Imani Perry and story by Madison Smartt Bell was released in the fall of 2019. His previous work on the lands and people along the 100th Meridian in the US, called Dirt Meridian, has a preface by Kent Haruf and was exhibited at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha. An earlier book, the bestselling Detroit Disassembled, included an essay by the late Poet Laureate Philip Levine, and an exhibition of the same title opened at the Akron Museum of Art before also traveling to the Queens Museum of Art, the Grand Rapids Art Museum, and the National Building Museum in Washington, DC. Moore's other books include: Inside Havana (2002), Governors Island (2004) and Russia, Beyond Utopia (2005) and Cuba (2012). Additionally, his photographs have appeared in Art in America, Artnews, The Bitter Southerner, Harpers, National Geographic, New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, TIME, Vogue and Wired. Moore produced and photographed "How to Draw a Bunny," a pop art mystery feature film on the artist Ray Johnson. The movie premiered at the 2002 Sundance Festival, where it won a Special Jury prize. Mr. Moore was a lecturer on photography in the Visual Arts Program at Princeton University from 2001 to 2010. Presently he teaches a graduate seminar in the MFA Photography Video and Related Media program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

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:

di Matteo B. Bianchi | In questa puntata un po' anomala le letture di Matteo si riducono ma per una buona ragione: la presenza di due ospiti che di libri ne sanno davvero parecchio. Il primo è Giovanni Spadaccini, libraio "d'occasione" della libreria "Libri Risorti" (Reggio Emilia) e più di recente scrittore per Utet, con cui ha pubblicato "Compro libri anche in grande quantità". Lo spazio dedicato ai traduttori ospita Fabio Cremonesi, traduttore tra gli altri di Kent Haruf. Infine, torna il giornalista Daniele Cassandro per consigliarci una lettura tra le sue preferite. -Libri citati in questa puntataBREVE TRATTATO SUI PICCHIATORI NELLA SVIZZERA ITALIANA DEGLI ANNI OTTANTA di Manuela Mazzi, LauranaIl libraio d’occasione Giovanni Spadaccini, autore del memoriale "Compro libri anche in grande quantità" edito da Utet, e titolare della libreria "Libri risorti" di Reggio Emilia ci ha consigliato: MOBY DICK di Herman Melville, traduzione di Cesare Pavese, 1932 - Frassinelli (oggi pubblicata da Adelphi)IL CASTELLO di Franz Kafka, traduzione di Anita Roh (disponibile in Oscar Mondadori)JA di Thomas Bernard, GuandaIl traduttore Fabio Cremonesi tra i libri che ha tradotto ci ha suggerito:IN GRATITUDINE di Jenny Diski, NNInfine, il giornalista Daniele Cassandro ci ha consigliato:UNA SANTA DEL TEXAS di Edmund White, Playground
