Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues Bookwaves Shelley Singer (1939-2022), mystery author of six Jake Samson mysteries and four Barrett Lake mysteries, and former book reviewer on KPFA, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff, recorded on November 19, 1986 at her East Bay home. Mystery and suspense novelist Shelley Singer died of heart failure on November 10, 2022 at the age of 83. The author of six mysteries, two science fiction novels, one mainstream novel and several short stories, she was a key writer in the Sisters in Crime movement of the nineties. She also taught fiction writing and served as a manuscript consultant. Richard Lupoff and Richard Wolinsky interviewed Shelley Singer at her home on November 19, 1986. At the time of the interview, she'd published three Jake Samson mysteries with a fourth on the way, along with an early science fiction novel. A few months after the interview, she joined the two Richards for a monthly series of book review programs. Her participation lasted two or three years before she moved north and after a time chose to forgo the long commute to Berkeley. Warm and welcoming, but not suffering fools, Shelley was a joy to work with, and her reviews were well-thought out and incisive. But it was her friendship at the time that was most important. Over the course of the next decades of her life, Shelly continued to write Jake Samson mysteries, moved over to a new amateur detective, Barrett Lake, and began a three-volume science fiction series, of which the first volume, “Torch Song” was published in 2014. “Torch Song” and the Jake Samson mysteries are available through Amazon. This interview was digitized and edited in December 2022 and has not been heard in over thirty years. Complete interview. Bookwaves Philip Pullman, author of the “His Dark Materials” trilogy, “The Golden Compass,” “The Subtle Knife” and “The Amber Spyglass” is interviewed by host Richard Wolinsky. Recorded November 30, 2000. Philip Pullman is the acclaimed author of a series of three tantasy novels, titled collectively, “His Dark Materials” (there's also a novella, a short story and a graphic novel in the series). Originally marketed as young adult novels, these books take on Judeo-Christian notions of morality as well as the way belief systems are manipulated by organized religion — all in the guise of a coming of age fantasy taking place on a world like, and very unlike, our own. A failed 2007 version of “The Golden Compass” opened in theaters, and was not followed by sequels. Currently HBO is running a series based on the trilogy. In 2017, Philip Pullman began a prequel series, “The Book of Dust,” with “La Belle Sauvage,” and dealing with the events where Lyra, as a baby, is brought to Oxford. The second volume in that series, “The Secret Commonwealth,” was published in October, 2019. This interview was conducted during Philip Pullman's only author tour through the United States. The program has been remastered and reedited in 2019 by Richard Wolinsky. (featured image, 2008, Anna via Flickr, Creative Commons) Complete 30-minute interview.

This book turned out to be a bit of a mixed bag for me. While I thoroughly loved His Dark Materials, I’d be lying if I said that this series isn’t starting with a couple of problems. I’m not going to talk about the overall arching story, as it’s not completed yet, nor will I talk about La Belle Sauvage because this review is about The Secret Commonwealth. Although reviews for this book are overwhelmingly five stars, there are a couple of one stars that are worth noting. I’ll start by saying that if you have any issues with the f-bomb or deadly violence in a book like this it won’t be for you—but if you’re reading my blog, I’m going to assume that it’s not.
Malcolm receives two warnings from a friendly stranger named Coram Van Texel: The flood is coming and avoid Gerard Bonneville. Malcolm believes but will everyone else?

Este Agosto iniciámos o primeiro livro da mais recente trilogia de Philip Pullman, "La Belle Sauvage". Uma história percursora da muito conhecida trilogia "Mundos Paralelos" ("His Dark Materials" em inglês). Desta vez Lyra não é a protagonista, mas sim Malcom, uma criança vivaz e arguta que embarcará numa missão que não esperava.
Voor deze 73e aflevering schuiven we samen aan het ontbijt en maken we een sandwich van twee kloefen van boeken die een derde, dunnere roman omsluiten. Alles met een saus van gezelligheid en verwondering natuurlijk. We hebben het over Max, Mischa en het Tet-offensief van Johan Harstad, Girl meets Boy van Ali Smith en La Belle Sauvage van Philip Pullman.

Avsnitt 30: Karin, Anna och Lina pratar om Philip Pullmans Book of Dust: La Belle Sauvage, och konstaterar att det är ett spännande äventyr som är lätt att dras med i. Det blir också en del om Pullmans His Dark Materials-trilogi. I jämförelse är La Belle Sauvage något mer linjär och lite mindre existentiellt sökande, men det är en glädje att få återvända till Lyra's Oxford, även om Lyra själv här bara är en hjälplös bebis. På slutet kommer vi fram till vilka daemons vi skulle ha. Vi pratar också om filmen The Favourite, podcasterna We Fix Space Junk, Girl in Space och Oz 9, samt Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book.Spoilers för Book of Dust: La Belle Sauvage, och filmen The Golden Compass.

To celebrate the publication of the first instalment of The Book of Dust, Imogen Russell Williams joins the gang in the studio to discuss Philip Pullman's work, including the brand new La Belle Sauvage. Also featuring an interview with Philip Pullman's agent Caradoc King.
Well, we went and saw Justice League so you won’t have to. Stay tuned for a scene by scene breakdown that is probably more effort than this movie is worth. I guess you could say we… did the movie justice. Also discussed: Marco has now ready the first half of La Belle Sauvage, Benji has lots of complaining to do about the Wizarding World movies, and we saw lots of trailers at the theater.
This week, Gavia and Morgan revisit their childhoods with Philip Pullman's new novel "La Belle Sauvage," the first installment of his new trilogy The Book of Dust, a companion to His Dark Materials. They discuss this book's relationship to Pullman's earlier trilogy, earnest children, frightening villains, Oxford, and—for some reason—Edmund Spenser's living situation.
Sandra and Scott are so excited to discuss a novel 17 years in the making - the exciting prequel to Philip Pullman's "The Golden Compass / Northern Lights" and the "His Dark Materials" series.

Roger Bolton with listener views on BBC radio. The World at One has courted controversy by dedicating a whole show to the topic of abortion, marking 50 years since the passage of the 1967 Abortion Act. Some listeners found the coverage upsetting, while others were annoyed that one subject had been allowed to take over what they see as, first and foremost, a news programme. But some listeners say they found the focus both timely and touching. Roger hears views from all sides. Neil MacGregor has a new 30-part series, Living with the Gods, following in the footsteps of his enormously popular previous programmes examining historical objects. But does the BBC spend too much time on religion? And is radio the right medium for a programme about objects you can't see? Neil addresses these questions and talks about his aims for the series. Last week, Radio 4 Commissioning Editor for Drama Jeremy Howe appeared on Feedback answering concerns over his decision to air unsettling horror The Omen as the Book at Bedtime. This week, listeners give their verdict on both The Omen and the book which came next, Philip Pullman's La Belle Sauvage. Finally, Feedback has been inviting listeners to share stories of how radio has changed their lives. This week, listener Lou Moore describes how a chance radio encounter with Desert Island Discs became a turning point in her life and career. Producer: Nicola Kelly A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.

Find out why Philip Pullman has returned to the realm of his trilogy, His Dark Materials. In this exclusive London launch of the highly anticipated La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One, Pullman reveals why he has come back to much-loved character Lyra Belacqua’s world 22 years after the first book. "I do actually believe in ghosts, fairies, hobgoblins; nature's spirits of every kind, because they help me write stories." PHILIP PULLMAN Pullman reflects on his writing process, what drew him back to Lyra’s world more than two decades after Northern Lights was first published, and why the struggle for freedom of expression against despotic rulers that has been at the heart of his books, is more pressing now than ever.
