¿Podemos aspirar a una buena vida en el Siglo XXI? Le hemos hecho esta pregunta a Carmen Madorrán, pamplonesa del 89, doctora en filosofía y autora del ensayo cuyo título es esa misma pregunta. Carmen es uno de los nombres del Festival de las Ideas que acaba de empezar en Madrid y uno de los grandes nombres de nuestra filosofía. Igual que Margot Rot, que ha participado hoy en una de las conversaciones de ese festival. Margot es filosofa y crítica cultural y autora de 'Infoxicación', una ensayo sobre la relación entre nuestras experiencias emocionales a través de las pantallas. Sobre cómo nos comunicamos y las redes de intercambio de información que tenemos y que hemos tenido a lo largo de la historia reflexiona e investiga Yuval Noah Harari en 'Nexus', su nuevo libro.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents three works that offer unusual perspectives on clothes and fashion—selling, making, and coveting. In Anne Enright's “(She Owns) Everything,” read by Mary-Louise Parker, a saleswoman becomes a compulsive consumer. In “Clothes on the Ground: A Conversation with Leap,” we hear from a Cambodian garment worker, interviewed by Julia Wallace for the compendium Women in Clothes. Leap is voiced by Jennifer Lim. And shopping is an antidote to aging in Joanne Harris's “Faith and Hope Go Shopping,” read by Lois Smith.

Laura Wittner nació en Buenos Aires en 1967. Es traductora, narradora y poeta. Con su talento y conocimiento tradujo al español a autores como Leonar Cohen, Katherine Mansfield, Anne Tayler y David Markson, entre otros. Recientemente tradujo el libro Bocetos de natación, de Leanne Shapton, un inesperado tesoro para lectores sensibles que publicó Blatt y Ríos. Entre sus libros de poesía se encuentran Lugares donde una no está y Traducción de la ruta. Es autora de libros para chicos como Dime cómo vuelas, Los entusiasmos, Justo antes de dormir, vecinos bichos, Animal entendido y Cual para tal, estos dos últimos en coautoría con Juan Nadalini. Su libro Se vive y se traduce, publicado por Entropía, se convirtió el año pasado en un boca a boca para todos aquellos que buscan saber qué hay detrás de ese trabajo muchas veces invisibilizado y siempre fundamental: el de traductor. Se trata de un libro compuesto por notas, fragmentos, y citas de otros traductores que en conjunto componen un libro delicado y potente que habla de la tarea de aquellos que tienen que trabajar con la palabra de los otros y cuyo trabajo no concluye una vez que se cierra la computadora. La lengua, las lenguas, siguen reverberando. Traducir un texto es traducir a una persona, intentar alcanzar aquello que quiso decir y dar a entender y es, también, traducir una cultura. De todo esto habla el agudo y hermoso libro de Laura. En la sección El Extranjero, Hinde habló del libro “Love me Tender”, de Constance Debré y en Libros que sí recomendó “Un trabajo para toda la vida”, de Rachel Cusk (Libros del Asteroide) y “Médicos, maleantes y maricas”, de Jorge Salessi (Planeta).

Ana es autora de Poco frecuente en 2021 ganó la Beca de Creación del FNA para terminar de escribir su segundo libro, Meditación Madre, publicado por Concreto Editorial en 2022.

Land and sea meet in a dance of littoral literature on this week's episode, in which two writers train their minds on overlooked expanses. Gillian Osborne considers the American lawn, a private buffer expressing our nostalgia for common spaces. Leanne Shapton takes us into open water, where swimmers find vulnerability, wonder, and a sense of scale. They examine how great writers have drawn inspiration from the outdoors and crafted lyrical prose that unsettles the barriers between humans and nature, past and present, death and life. First, Harper's Magazine web editor Violet Lucca speaks with Leanne Shapton about the work of the writer, activist, and filmmaker Roger Deakin, which Shapton reviewed in the August issue of Harper's. Like Deakin, Shapton is an experienced swimmer (she once participated in two Olympic tryouts), and she uses her marine inclinations to understand Deakin's travel memoir Waterlog: A Swimmer's Journey Through Britain, as well as his life and politics. Only a lucky few can swim regularly from a young age, and Shapton discusses her desire that the experience of open-water swimming—as one means of being “with” nature, rather than “in and on it”—might be made available to people of all ages and cultural backgrounds. Next, Lucca speaks with Gillian Osborne. Last month, Nightboat Books published Osborne's first essay collection, Green Green Green, which was excerpted in the July issue of Harper's. Osborne declares that the color green's “layering of possible meanings is uncanny,” then launches into a poetic history of the American lawn. As she testifies in her conversation, she is interested in the lawn's ability to evoke absence or emptiness—a quality she also finds in great short poetry. For Osborne, who seeks to make space for “responsive” rather than merely “responsible” reading, the experience of literature is always entwined with what writers and readers are not presently looking at—the vibrant vegetal world in which they sit. Read Shapton's review: https://harpers.org/archive/2021/08/writ-in-water-roger-deakin-waterlog/ Read the excerpt of Osborne's essay collection: https://harpers.org/archive/2021/07/green-green-green-gillian-osborne/ This episode was produced by Violet Lucca and Andrew Blevins.

"Alexa ich mach Schluss mit Dir" ist der Titel, wir sprechen mit dem Autor. Nach Italien führen uns zwei Empfehlungen: In Neapel spielt eine neue Hörspielproduktion des Bayerischen Rundfunks. Elena Ferrantes Neapolitanische Saga gibt es nun auch auf CD. Eine Liebesgeschichte in Venedig, eine Begegnung im "Grand Hotel Europa" beschreibt der niederländische Autor Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer. Natürlich gibt es ein literarisches Rätsel für sie, das wie immer von Thomas Kastura stammt.

By 1914 Frank Lloyd Wright had become one of America's most influential architects. But that August a violent tragedy unfolded at his Midwestern residence and studio. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the shocking attack of Julian Carlton, which has been called "the most horrific single act of mass murder in Wisconsin history."

In her latest work Guestbook: Ghost Stories (Particular Books) Leanne Shapton, through a series of stories and vignettes, encounters the uncanny. Are our experiences of ghosts and the unworldly mere fantasies of the mind, or are they solid evidence of the supernatural? In a book designed, curated and illustrated by Shapton herself, she provides some, but by no means all of the answers. Toronto-born Shapton rose to literary prominence with her genre-defying Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, published by Bloomsbury in 2009. Her subsequent works, including Was She Pretty?, Swimming Studies and Toys Talking, have continued to baffle those readers and booksellers who like to know exactly which shelf to put a book on. She was in conversation with novelist and critic Adam Thirlwell. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sheila Heti, Heidi Julavits, and Leanne Shapton are the guests. They are the editors of the bestselling book Women in Clothes, which features the work of more than 600 authors, including notables like Cindy Sherman, Lena Dunham, Kim Gordon, and Molly Ringwald. Kirkus Reviews says “Poems, interviews, pieces that read like diary or journal entries—all these responses help the editors fulfill their aims: to liberate readers from the idea that women have to fit a certain image or ideal, to show the connection between dress and ‘habits of mind,’ and to offer readers ‘a new way of interpreting their outsides.’ ‘What are my values?’ one woman asks. ‘What do I want to express?’ Those questions inform the multitude of eclectic responses gathered in this delightfully idiosyncratic book.” And Publishers Weekly says “Thoughtfully crafted and visually entertaining, this collection, edited by Heti, Julavits, and Shapton, uses personal reflections from 642 contributors to examine women’s relationship with clothes in a deceptively lighthearted and irreverent tone….it also inspires meaningful questions…the prose is spliced with striking visuals…[a] provocative time capsule of contemporary womanhood.” Monologue topics: nerves, confusion, technology, not talking about literary scandal.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Women in Clothes (Blue Rider) Skylight Books is thrilled to present three phenomenal writers -- Sheila Heti (How Should a Person Be?), Heidi Julavits (The Vanishers), and Leanne Shapton (Important Artifacts) -- for a discussion on their highly anticipated new book, Women in Clothes. This event will feature a clothing swap!  Attendees are encouraged to bring one special item of clothing that you'd like to swap, with your name and an interesting detail about the garment pinned to the piece. Men are welcome to participate in the swap, too. You don't have to bring an item to attend, but we encourage it. All leftover clothing will be donated. Women in Clothes is a book unlike any other. It is essentially a conversation among hundreds of women of all nationalities--famous, anonymous, religious, secular, married, single, young, old--on the subject of clothing, and how the garments we put on every day define and shape our lives.  It began with a survey. The editors composed a list of more than fifty questions designed to prompt women to think more deeply about their personal style. Writers, activists, and artists including Cindy Sherman, Kim Gordon, Kalpona Akter, Sarah Nicole Prickett, Tavi Gevinson, Miranda July, Roxane Gay, Lena Dunham, and Molly Ringwald answered these questions with photographs, interviews, personal testimonies, and illustrations.  Even our most basic clothing choices can give us confidence, show the connection between our appearance and our habits of mind, express our values and our politics, bond us with our friends, or function as armor or disguise. They are the tools we use to reinvent ourselves and to transform how others see us. Women in Clothes embraces the complexity of women's style decisions, revealing the sometimes funny, sometimes strange, always thoughtful impulses that influence our daily ritual of getting dressed.  Praise for Women in Clothes: "Thoughtfully crafted and visually entertaining.... A provocative time capsule of contemporary womanhood, this collection is highly recommended." --Publishers Weekly "Poems, interviews, pieces that read like diary or journal entries—all these responses help the editors fulfill their aims: to liberate readers from the idea that women have to fit a certain image or ideal, to show the connection between dress and 'habits of mind,' and to offer readers 'a new way of interpreting their outsides.' 'What are my values?' one woman asks. 'What do I want to express?' Those questions inform the multitude of eclectic responses gathered in this delightfully idiosyncratic book." --Kirkus Reviews Sheila Heti is the author of five books, including the critically acclaimed How Should a Person Be? She writes regularly for the London Review of Books, and collaborates frequently with other writers and artists. She lives in Toronto. Heidi Julavits is the author of four novels, most recently The Vanishers, winner of the PEN/New England Fiction Award. She is a founding editor of The Believer and an associate professor at Columbia University. Leanne Shapton is a Canadian artist, author, and publisher based in New York City. She is the author of Important Artifacts and Swimming Studies, winner of the 2012 National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography.

We talk Mermaids (1990, Richard Benjamin), which combines the magnetic talents of Cher, Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci as a family unit as they move to a sleepy New England town in 1963. In many ways, this is the ultimate coming-of-age film, as young Charlotte (Ryder) deals with her eccentric mother (Cher), her major crush on the cute boy up the road, and her intense Catholic guilt. We both relate to her, in some ways more than others, and this movie's collection of quiet, hilarious moments is what keeps us watching it again and again. Kseniya recommended the book Swimming Studies by Leanne Shapton. Eleanor recommended an essay about the state of the modern romantic comedy, by Linda Holmes on NPR.
