Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.
We talk to prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout about her acclaimed new novel, “Tell Me Everything.” In it, Lucy Barton, Olive Kitteridge, and other characters return in connected stories of murder, marriage, parents and children, and love. This novel is thought-provoking and compulsively readable.

In 2009, Elizabeth Strout won the Pulitzer Prize for her wonderful novel about a famously cantankerous and compelling character, Olive Kitteridge. Since then, in books like The Burgess Boys and My Name is Lucy Barton, Strout introduced readers to more of her engaging, vivacious characters. And with her latest book, published last month, Strout brings all of these characters together. Tell Me Everything is a quiet, masterful, beautiful peroration on love and loyalty that doesn't shy away from life's big questions. Strout joins us to talk about her compelling and complicated characters.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.
Maev Beaty, the Dora winning Canadian actor, is taking the lead role in the Canadian Stage production of the hit Broadway one person show ‘My Name is Lucy Barton'. The play is based on Elizabeth Strout's bestselling Booker nominated novel of the same name. Maev joins Tom in the studio to talk about why she wanted to take on this 90 minute solo performance. The challenges of that as an actor. And why this play was having so much relevance for her right now in her private life.
Director Jackie Maxwell and actor Maev Beaty talk about their love for Elizabeth Strout and bringing her work to the stage; Vancouver musician Bob Sumner talks about People of the Deer; actor and former Canada Reads panellist Kudakwashe Rutendo on novels with writers as central characters; and Andrea Currie reflects on Finding Otipemisiwak on this episode of The Next Chapter.
Hopefully we will have Stuart back with us next week, but in the meantime we are delighted to have two of Scotland's best commentators on the show - welcome back Angela Haggerty and hot from the Labour Party Conference - Catriona Stewart . Recommendations: Eamonn The Seige - Book - Ben Macintyre On April 30, 1980, six heavily armed gunmen burst into the Iranian embassy on Princes Gate, overlooking Hyde Park in London. There they took 26 hostages, including embassy staff, visitors, and three British citizens. A tense six-day siege ensued as millions gathered around screens across the country to witness the longest news flash in British television history, in which police negotiators and psychiatrists sought a bloodless end to the standoff, while the SAS – hitherto an organisation shrouded in secrecy – laid plans for a daring rescue mission: Operation Nimrod. Drawing on unpublished source material, exclusive interviews with the SAS, and testimony from witnesses including hostages, negotiators, intelligence officers and the on-site psychiatrist, bestselling historian Ben Macintyre takes readers on a gripping journey from the years and weeks of build-up on both sides, to the minute-by-minute account of the siege and rescue. Recreating the dramatic conversations between negotiators and hostages, the cutting-edge intelligence work happening behind-the-scenes, and the media frenzy around this moment of international significance, The Siege is the remarkable story of what really happened on those fateful six days, and the first full account of a moment that forever changed the way the nation thought about the SAS – and itself. Angela Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story: This riveting true-crime drama probes the lives of the Menendez brothers, convicted of the brutal 1989 murders of their parents in Beverly Hills. Catriona Tell Me Everything - book - Elizabeth Strout Tell Me Everything is a hopeful, healing novel about new friendships, old loves, and the very human desire to leave a mark on the world. It's autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer, Lucy Barton, who lives down the road in a house by the sea with her ex-husband, William. Together, Lucy and Bob go on walks and talk about their lives, their fears and regrets, and what might have been. Lucy, meanwhile, is finally introduced to the iconic Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. Together, they spend afternoons in Olive's apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known – “unrecorded lives,” Olive calls them – reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning. Brimming with empathy and pathos, Tell Me Everything is Elizabeth Strout operating at the height of her powers, illuminating the ways in which our relationships keep us afloat. As Lucy says, “Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love."
Chancellor Rachel Reeves has told the BBC it's "right" not to accept donations for clothing now she's in government. This is following reports that she took £7,500 from a donor for clothing between January 2023 to May 2024.

Kylie discusses the film with the writer and director, Shuchi Talati, and actress Preeti Panigrahi who plays Mira.The Labour Party conference is underway in Liverpool. A topic likely to feature heavily in tomorrow's speech by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is women's safety. Joining Kylie to give us their views on what they think needs to be prioritised by this government is director and founder of the Centre for Women's Justice, Harriet Wistrich, and the campaigner Georgia Harrison. Elizabeth Strout is the Pulitzer prize-winning author of many novels including Olive Kitteridge and the Lucy Barton books. Tell Me Everything is her latest novel where she revisits several of the characters who appear in her previous work.

L'epidemia di Covid che ha sconvolto il mondo nel 2020 è al centro del romanzo "Lucy davanti al mare" di Elizabeth Strout (Einaudi - traduz. Susanna Basso). La scrittrice americana, Premio Pulitzer 2009 per la raccolta di racconti "Olive Kitteridge", torna a raccontarci la vita di Lucy Barton, già protagonista di altri libri. Stavolta siamo nel 2020 e Lucy deve fare i conti come il resto del mondo con la pandemia.

Questa insolita convivenza sarà l'occasione per Lucy per una serie di riflessioni sulla sua vita e sul suo passato.

Elizabeth Strout erzählt eine komplexe Familiengeschichte mit grosser Leichtigkeit. Elmore Leonard nimmt uns mit in den Wilden Westen, wo auf Kugel komm raus geballert wird. Und auf der aktuellen SRF-Bestenliste im April stehen alles Bücher, die einen guten Lesefrühling garantieren. «Am Meer» von Elizabeth Strout handelt von Lucy Barton, einer rund 70-jährigen Schriftstellerin, die mit ihrem Ex-Mann von New York City nach Maine zieht, in ein Haus am Meer, um der Pandemie zu entkommen. In der Einsamkeit blickt sie auf ihr Liebesleben zurück und sorgt sich um ihre längst erwachsenen Töchter. Elizabeth Strout gelinge es, diese komplexe Familiengeschichte in einer einzigartigen Leichtigkeit zu erzählen, meint SRF-Literaturredaktorin Jennifer Khakshouri. Warum nicht wieder einmal einen Western lesen? So wie früher? Die Gelegenheit bietet aktuell der packende Roman «Letztes Gefecht am Saber River» des US-Amerikaners Elmore Leonard. Der 1959 erschienene Roman liegt jetzt erstmals auf Deutsch vor. Die zur Zeit des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs spielende Geschichte habe alle Ingredienzien des klassischen Testosteron-Abenteuers im Wilden Westens. Aber nicht nur, findet Felix Münger. Gerade die Frauenfiguren und die Geschlechterrollen seien überraschend modern dargestellt. Im heutigen Kurztipp stellt Annette König die fünf Bücher vor, die auf der aktuellen SRF-Bestenliste im April stehen. Alle fünf Titel seien ausnehmend gelungene Page-Turner, die jeglichen Anflug von Frühlingsmüdigkeit mit einem Wisch hinwegfegen würden. Buchhinweise: * Elizabeth Strout. Am Meer. Aus dem Amerikanischen von Sabine Roth. 288 Seiten. Luchterhand, 2024. * Elmore Leonard. Letztes Gefecht am Saber River. Aus dem Englischen von Florian Grimm. Liebeskind, 2024. * Gaea Schoeters.

Elizabeth Strout er en av de fremste stemmene i amerikansk samtidslitteratur, og både leserne og kritikerne setter henne høyt. Hun begynte å skrive i ung alder, men det kom til å ta mange år før hun fikk noe utgitt. Den gangen var mantraet hennes «ikke gi deg.»I år er Strouts debutroman, Amy og Isabelle, endelig tilgjengelig på norsk (oversatt av Hilde Rød-Larsen). Det internasjonale gjennombruddet kom med romanen Olive Kitteridge, som hun ble tildelt Pulitzerprisen for i 2009, og som senere ble adaptert til en prisvinnende miniserie med samme navn. Siden da har hun skrevet fire bøker i serien om Lucy Barton: Mitt navn er Lucy Barton, Hva som helst er mulig, Lucy ved havet og Åh, William! – og gjennom disse har Strout vist seg som en både uredd og dypt empatisk forfatter.«Du kan ikke skrive litteratur og ta forbehold,» har Strout sagt. I likhet med hennes romankarakter Lucy Barton, vokste Strout opp på et lite tettsted i en streng familie. Da var bøker mirakler og tilfluktssteder, der hun forsto at hun ikke var alene.I dette personlige foredraget vil Strout snakke om sin vei fra tidlige skriverier til å bli en publisert forfatter, og underveis vil hun trekke fram noen av forfatterne og bøkene som har formet og påvirket henne underveis, deriblant Alice Munro, Eudora Welty og Ernest Hemingway. Strout har alltid observert menneskene rundt seg, og i foredraget vil hun snakke om hvor hun finner inspirasjon til romankarakterene sine, og hvordan hun klarte å gi slipp på forbeholdene.Foredraget er på engelsk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Elizabeth Strout har etablert seg som en av den amerikanske samtidslitteraturens mest egenartede stemmer, elsket av lesere og kritikere. Det internasjonale gjennombruddet kom med romanen Olive Kitteridge, som Strout vant Pulitzerprisen for i 2009, og som også ble adaptert til en prisbelønt miniserie. Siden har hun skrevet fire bøker i Lucy Barton-serien, Jeg heter Lucy Barton, Hva som helst er mulig, Åh, William! og Lucy ved havet, alle oversatt av Hilde Rød-Larsen.Romanene om Lucy forteller om utsatthet, fattigdom, sorg og barndomstraumer – men også om verdien av håp, kunst og kjærlighet. Lucy vokser opp i en fattig og dysfunksjonell familie på landsbygda i Illinois, men klarer å bli forfatter mot alle odds. Romanene sirkler inn småbylivet og ulike epoker i Lucys liv, fra den langsomme oppvåkningen mot å bli forfatter, en som forteller, en som gir mening til verden med ord.Det er i det stillferdige, hverdagslige livet at de store dramaene utspiller seg i Strout sine romaner og noveller, med dybde, varme og kompleksitet skildres vanlige folks følelsesliv, samtidig som hun har et skarpt blikk for større samfunnsstrukturer og systemer som mennesket bevisst og ubevisst inngår i.Strout møter forfatter Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold til samtale om felleskap, familie og forandring.Samtalen foregår på engelsk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Elizabeth Strout is one of the most distinct voices in contemporary American literature, and beloved by readers and critics alike. She started writing at an early age, but it would take her many years to finally get published. Back then, her mantra was “just keep going”.This year, Strout's debut novel, Amy and Isabelle, is finally available in Norwegian (translated by Hilde Rød-Larsen). Her international breakthrough came with the novel Olive Kitteridge, which earned her the 2009 Pulitzer Prize, and which was later adapted into the award-winning mini series of the same name. Since then, she has written four books in her Lucy Barton series; My Name Is Lucy Barton, Anything Is Possible, Lucy by the Sea and Oh, William! – which have earned Strout a reputation of an unafraid and deeply thoughtful writer.«You can't write fiction and be careful,» Strout has said. Growing up in a small, rural town with a strict family – similarly to her beloved character Lucy Barton – books were miracles and refuges – places in which she realized she was not alone.In this personal lecture, Strout will talk about her journey from when she first started to write, and to becoming a published author, highlighting some of the authors and books that have shaped and influenced her along the way, such as Alice Munro, Eudora Welty and Ernest Hemingway. A constant observer of those around her, she will talk about where she finds inspiration for her characters and how she learned to throw caution to the wind. Hosted on Acast.

Elizabeth Strout is one of the most distinct voices in contemporary American literature, and beloved by readers and critics alike. Her international breakthrough came with the novel Olive Kitteridge, which earned her the 2009 Pulitzer Prize, and which was later adapted into the award winning mini series of the same name. Since then, she has written four books in her Lucy Barton series; My Name Is Lucy Barton, Anything Is Possible, Oh, William! and Lucy by the Sea.Her Lucy novels tell stories about exposedness, poverty, grief and childhood trauma, but also about the value of hope, art and love. Lucy grows up in a poor and dysfunctional family in the Illinois countryside and becomes a writer against all odds. Through her village upbringing and different periods in Lucy's life, the novels depicts her slow awakening as a writer, someone who tells stories, who gives the world meaning through language.In Strout's novels and short stories, the great drama unfolds within unassuming everyday life. The emotional lives of ordinary people are portrayed with depth, warmth and complexity, while she simultaneously shows a keen eye for the larger societal structures and systems of which we, consciously or unconsciously, are part.At the House of Literature, Strout is joined by writer Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold for a conversation about family, community and change. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
L'epidemia di Covid che ha sconvolto il mondo nel 2020 è al centro del romanzo "Lucy davanti al mare" di Elizabeth Strout (Einaudi - traduz. Susanna Basso). La scrittrice americana, Premio Pulitzer 2009 per la raccolta di racconti "Olive Kitteridge", torna a raccontarci la vita di Lucy Barton, già protagonista di altri libri. Stavolta siamo nel 2020 e Lucy deve fare i conti come il resto del mondo con la pandemia. Il secondo marito è morto da un anno e il primo marito William le chiede di andare con lui in una casa nel Maine, lasciare dunque New York per cercare di evitare il contagio. Questa insolita convivenza sarà l'occasione per Lucy per una serie di riflessioni sulla sua vita e sul suo passato. Nella seconda parte parliamo di "Non farti fottere" di Lilli Gruber (Rizzoli). La pornografia è un mercato che esiste da tempo ed è esplosa per quanto riguarda i film soprattutto negli anni '70. Negli ultimi tempi è cambiata a causa del web e dei social. E' sempre più bassa l'età di chi consapevolmente o meno si imbatte in immagini o in video pornografici. Su questi temi Lilli Gruber ha scritto il libro "Non farti fottere - Come il supermercato del porno on line ti ruba fantasia, desiderio e dati personali" (Rizzoli). Un libro che analizza il presente del mercato del porno e le ripercussioni sulla sessualità degli adulti, con un focus sulle conseguenze sull'educazione sessuale dei giovani.

Charlotte Wood talks about the writing craft and process behind her novel Stone Yard Devotional. Writing topics include creative process and inspiration, first drafts, novel structure, writing in fragments, point of view, narrative momentum, voice, description and writing at sentence level. Charlotte is such a beautiful writer but also a seasoned writer - she's been to all the places you, as a writer, have been or are heading towards - and she generously shares all that wisdom. One of the things I love about Charlotte is her curiosity. She's constantly exploring and expanding upon her own creative process and draws inspiration and motivation from all areas of the arts, not just books and writing.You'll find links to buy both paperback and ebook versions of Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood here.REFERENCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODESubtraction - Charlotte Wood's newsletterPortrait of a Lady on Fire - directed by Céline SciammaCéline Sciamma - BAFTA Screenwriters' Lecture SeriesThe Art of Time in Fiction by Joan SilberLouise Bourgeois, ArtistThe Wren, The Wren by Anne EnrightMy Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth StroutMaking Stories: How Ten Australian Novels Were Written by Kate Grenville and Sue WoolfeLiving Autobiography Trilogy by Deborah LevyCourtney CollinsUnless by Carol ShieldsThe Garret Podcast: Charlotte WoodRead This Podcast: Charlotte WoodMelbourne Writers' Festival: 6-12 May 2024Sydney Writers' Festival: 20-26 May 2024Brisbane Writers' Festival: 30 May – 2 June 2024ABOUT CHARLOTTE WOODCharlotte Wood is the author of seven novels and three books of non-fiction.

Jennifer Khakshouri, Nina Kunz, Thomas Strässle sowie die Autorin Deborah Feldman sprechen über «Am Meer» von Elizabeth Strout, «Die Zukunft der Wahrheit» von Werner Herzog, «Birobidschan» von Tomer Dotan-Dreyfus und «Herr Kiyak dachte, jetzt fängt der schöne Teil des Lebens an» von Mely Kiyak. Was ist Wahrheit? Gerade in Zeiten von Fake News und Künstlicher Intelligenz? Dieser Frage geht der weltberühmte Filmemacher Werner Herzog in seinem Essay nach. In «Die Zukunft der Wahrheit» beschreibt er auch seine eigene künstlerische Suche nach einer Wahrheit, die nicht deckungsgleich mit Fakten ist. Sogar Lügen können für den Extremregisseur Herzog die Wahrheit offenbaren - solange man offenlegt, dass es Lügen sind. «Birobidschan» ist das Debut des deutsch-israelischen Schriftstellers Tomer Dotan-Dreyfus. Mit seinem Roman wagt er ein literarisches Experiment, Das real existierende Birobidschan ist gescheitert: ein jüdisch-sozialistisches Schtetl in Sibirien, mit Jiddisch als offizieller Sprache. Der Roman erzählt eine Alternativgeschichte. In einer sehr zeitgenössischen Sprache knüpft Dotan-Dreyfus dabei an jiddische Erzähltraditionen an. Die deutsche Autorin Mely Kiyak schreibt über die Krebserkrankung ihres Vaters, der als Gastarbeiter in Deutschland gelebt hat. «Herr Kiyak dachte, jetzt fängt der schöne Teil des Lebens an». Ist ein dringliches Buch über eine brachiale Krankheit und Kommunikation in der Welt der Medizin. Kiyaks Text ist dabei keine Lektüre, die schwermütig stimmt. Denn er erzählt auch von der grossen Liebe zu ihrem Vater – und darüber, welch grosses Geschenk das Leben ist. Die US-Amerikanerin Elizabeth Strout ist Spezialistin für komplexe Familienromane. Sie erzählt warmherzig, aber nicht sentimental. Strouts Romane spielen immer am Meer im US-Bundesstaat Maine, und ihre Figuren leben in den folgenden Büchern jeweils weiter. Das aktuelle Buch «Am Meer» spielt in den Anfängen der Corona-Pandemie. Lucy Barton flieht vor dem Virus mit ihrem Ex-Mann aus New York an die Küste. Aus ein paar Wochen Flucht aus der Krise wird dabei ein neues Leben.
Elisabeth Strout erzählt eine komplexe Familiengeschichte mit grosser Leichtigkeit. Elmore Leonard nimmt uns mit in den Wilden Westen, wo auf Kugel komm raus geballert wird. Und auf der aktuellen SRF-Bestenliste im April stehen alles Bücher, die einen guten Lesefrühling garantieren. «Am Meer» von Elizabeth Strout handelt von Lucy Barton, einer rund 70-jährigen Schriftstellerin, die mit ihrem Ex-Mann von New York City nach Maine zieht, in ein Haus am Meer, um der Pandemie zu entkommen. In der Einsamkeit blickt sie auf ihr Liebesleben zurück und sorgt sich um ihre längst erwachsenen Töchter. Elizabeth Strout gelinge es, diese komplexe Familiengeschichte in einer einzigartigen Leichtigkeit zu erzählen, meint SRF-Literaturredaktorin Jennifer Khakshouri. Warum nicht wieder einmal einen Western lesen? So wie früher? Die Gelegenheit bietet aktuell der packende Roman «Letztes Gefecht am Saber River» des US-Amerikaners Elmore Leonard. Der 1959 erschienene Roman liegt jetzt erstmals auf Deutsch vor. Die zur Zeit des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs spielende Geschichte habe alle Ingredienzien des klassischen Testosteron-Abenteuers im Wilden Westens. Aber nicht nur, findet Felix Münger. Gerade die Frauenfiguren und die Geschlechterrollen seien überraschend modern dargestellt. Im heutigen Kurztipp stellt Annette König die fünf Bücher vor, die auf der aktuellen SRF-Bestenliste im April stehen. Alle fünf Titel seien ausnehmend gelungene Page-Turner, die jeglichen Anflug von Frühlingsmüdigkeit mit einem Wisch hinwegfegen würden. Buchhinweise: * Elizabeth Strout. Am Meer.

Die amerikanische Autorin Elizabeth Strout hat einen neuen Roman über ihre Erfahrungen und Herausforderungen während der Pandemie geschrieben. „Am Meer“, gerade im Luchterhand Verlag erschienen, ist ein berührendes Buch über das Fließen der Zeit, über Familie und über eine Liebe, die zum Schluss nochmal aufflammt. In der zehnten Folge unseres Literatur-Podcasts „Auslese“ sprechen Thomas Thelen und Andrea Zuleger über ihre Leseerfahrungen mit dem Buch der Pulitzer-Preisträgerin. Dabei geht es auch um die Frage, wieviel ihrer Hauptfigur Lucy Barton in ihr selbst steckt und ob sich die Lektüre lohnt. Eine ausführliche Rezension zu „Am Meer“ haben wir auf aachener-zeitung.de.

Mother-daughter relationships can be as tender as they are complicated, and Elizabeth Strout doesn't shy away from either tendency in “My Name is Lucy Barton.” It's a novel that dances on the tightrope between fiction and memoir, a novel about a writer, Lucy Barton, who is holed up in a hospital bed with no one for company except her estranged and mysterious mother. Through Lucy's powerful and engaging voice, the novel tells the story of how Lucy became a writer, of how she came to New York City from Amgash, Illinois, and how she's longed for her mother's love. In a way, these are all the same story, but Lucy needs to tell it her own way. Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include: "My Name is Lucy Barton” by Elizabeth Strout “The Prince” by Niccolò Machiavelli “The Seven Moons of Maali Almedia” by Sheehan Karunatilaka Additional segments throughout the podcast include: Inner Shelf Fact or fiction What are you reading?

In Elizabeth Strout's latest novel, Lucy By the Sea, the central protagonist, Lucy Barton, goes through life with an essential question: what is it like to be you? Two people make me think about that question. The first is Joseph Bankman, who is the Ralph M. Parsons Professor of Law and Business at Stanford Law School. His academic expertise is tax law. He is the author of widely used casebooks with exciting names like Federal Income Taxation. But he is not just a tax nerd. He is a deeply caring and empathetic professor. He got an additional degree in clinical psychology so that he could be more helpful in counseling anxious law students. He also hosted a podcast called WellnessCast for Stanford Law School to discuss “wellness and mental health within the legal profession.” A tax scholar with heart. The other person I have been thinking about is Barbara Fried. She is the William W. and Gertrude H. Saunders Professor of Law at Stanford Law School. Her academic expertise is distributive justice, namely, how are the goods and services in our society distributed, and are they distributed fairly? She is a three-time winner of an award that recognizes excellence in teaching at Stanford Law. Barbara Fried is married to Joseph Bankman.

Many novelists attempt to write about the writing life, but Lily King's 2020 novel “Writers & Lovers” is that rare gem – a novel about a writer that doesn't forget about the reader. King turns the doubt, toil and tears of artistic aspiration and precariousness into a richly textured story powered by grief and romantic determination, and yet never lacking in the realism of crushing college loan debts and interminable double-shifts at a restaurant. Set in the 1990s, Casey Peabody is a 31-year-old former golf prodigy struggling to confront her mother's untimely death at the same time as writing her first novel. Throw in a less than desirable living situation, a choice of lovers that leaves much to be desired, and a cast of supporting characters that keep the witty dialogue coming, and Lily King's “Writers & Lovers” is one of those precious books which is both compelling to readers and a companion to writers. Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include: "Writers and Lovers" by Lily King “My Name is Lucy Barton” by Elizabeth Strout “Franny and Zooey” by J. D. Salinger Additional segments throughout the podcast include: Inner Shelf Fact or fiction What are you reading?

This month on The Women's Podcast book club, we've been reading Lucy by the Sea by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Strout. Set in the early days of the pandemic, it tells the story of Lucy Barton who moves to Maine during lockdown, to live with her ex-husband William in a small house by the sea. Leaving her life in New York behind, Lucy must now spend the next several months in the company of the man she once loved and their complex past. So what did our book clubbers Bernice Harrison, Niamh Towey, Ann and Róisín Ingle make of this pandemic love story and all that it brings? If you've read the book too, please share your thoughts with us at thewomenspodcast@irishtimes.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Jazz saxophonist Camilla George plays live in the studio and talks about her new album Ibio-Ibio - a tribute to her Ibibio roots in Nigerian. Iranian artist Soheila Sokhanvari joins Samira to discuss Rebel Rebel, her first major work in the UK. The exhibition at the Barbican's Curve features 27 miniature portraits of pioneering female performers who blazed a trail in cinema, music and dance before the Islamic Revolution of 1979.

Elizabeth Strout is our guest this week, and our conversation couldn't be more timely. First, her novel, Oh William! has just been short listed for the Booker Prize - perhaps the most prestigious award for a writer of literary fiction. And second, her latest novel in the Lucy Barton series has just been published - Lucy by the Sea. For those who love her writing, and we are among her greatest admirers, you know that Lucy by the Sea represents a continuation of the series that includes Oh William! The book allows us to see the chaos of the last years through Lucy's eyes, and it's a tumultuous, beautiful journey. The independent bookstore this week is Tattered Cover and we talk to Jeremy Patlen, their head buyer.

In this podcast episode, we review the novel 'Lucy by the Sea' by Elizabeth Strout. Set amidst the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the novel depicts the struggles of protagonist Lucy Barton, a renowned novelist who abruptly moves from Manhattan to Maine. The podcast discusses themes of the novel like self-reflection, privilege, and the nuanced human response to global crises. It shines a light on Strout's capturing of the shift in societal consciousness during unprecedented times and emphasizes the novel's discourse around the hidden facets of privilege.
We are delighted today to welcome back to Midday the writer Elizabeth Strout. She is the best-selling author of nine novels and many short stories. In 2009, she won the Pulitzer Prize for a terrific book, Olive Kitteridge. A film adaption of that book on HBO starred Frances McDormand and won eight Emmy Awards. Elizabeth Strout has revisited two of her iconic characters in subsequent books. We met Olive Kitteridge once more in Olive Again, and Olive makes an appearance in Elizabeth Strout's latest novel, too. In this new book, Strout keeps us current with another one of her magnificent characters, Lucy Barton. It's the fourth novel in which Lucy figures prominently. Like her book, Oh William! from last year, Strout centers this one on Lucy's friendship with her first husband, a successful scientist named William Gerhardt. The setting is a small town in Maine, where Lucy and William have sequestered themselves at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Lucy is a rich, wonderful character, and Elizabeth Strout is a wonderful writer who brings us into Lucy's loving and insightful mind with grace and compassion. The new novel is out today. It's called Lucy by the Sea. Elizabeth Strout joins us on Zoom from New York City.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
