Weihnachtszeit heißt: kaum Zeit zu lesen. Deshalb gibt es in den Literaturagenten heute u.a. Literatur in hohen Dosen: Bücher mit kurzen Texten, die es umso mehr in sich haben, wie die „Mikroromane“ von Christoph Ransmayr, die unnachahmlichen Kurztexte von Lydia Davis und das „Winterbuch der Liebe“ von Dora Kaprálová.

Kitsch oder nicht? Cornelia Geißler, Gregor Dotzauer und Klaus Nüchtern diskutierten vier auf der SWR Bestenliste im Dezember verzeichneten Werke im barocken Schießhaus in Heilbronn. Vor allem das erstplatzierte Prosawerk von Tezer Özlü gab Anlass für grundlegende Diskussionen. Die Anfang der 1980er Jahre geschriebene und jetzt wiederentdeckte „Suche auf den Spuren eines Selbstmordes“ führte zur Frage, ob der Text unter Kitsch zu subsumieren sei. Vor allem der aus Wien angereiste Literaturkritiker des Wiener Magazins Falter Klaus Nüchtern mokierte sich über Sachfehler und missglückte Formulierungen der „pathetischen und egozentrischen Prosa“. Gregor Dotzauer, Literaturredakteur des Tagesspiegel, verteidigte den hohen Ton und die existentielle Dringlichkeit der Prosa. Cornelia Geißler, Literaturredakteurin der Berliner Zeitung, erinnert an den biografischen Hintergrund des Buchs, an die Gewalterfahrungen und Todessehnsucht der Autorin, denen beglückende Lektüren und nahezu therapeutische Sex-Szenen gegenübergestellt werden. Die 1943 in Anatolien geborene Übersetzerin und Schriftstellerin Tezer Özlü gehörte in den 1980er Jahren zu den wichtigsten Vertreterinnen junger Literatur in der Türkei. Obwohl sie auch in Deutschland gelebt hat, ist sie hierzulande weitgehend unbekannt geblieben. Özlüs „Suche nach den Spuren eines Selbstmordes“ erscheint hierzulande zum ersten Mal, obwohl das Buch auf Deutsch verfasst und mit einem Literaturpreis ausgezeichnet wurde. Die Autorin reist nicht nur zu den Schauplätzen ihrer literarischen Heroen wie Kafka, Svevo und Pavese, sie erkundet in einer „apodiktischen Sprache“ (Nüchtern) auch eigene Sehnsüchte, Träume und Wünsche. Das Buch entwickelt sich damit zu einer literarischen Feier der „unbedingten Rebellion“ (Dotzauer). Auf dem Programm in Heilbronn standen außerdem: mit „Unser Ole“ der neue Roman von Katja Lange-Müller (Platz 2), die Prosaminiaturen “Unsere Fremden“ von Lydia Davis (Platz 3) sowie der aus dem Russischen von Olga Radetzkaja übertragene Roman „Der Ansprung“ von Maria Stepanova (Platz 4). Aus den vier Büchern lasen Isabelle Demey und Dominik Eisele. Durch den Abend führte Carsten Otte.

Davis ist ein Star der Short Story. Ihre Texte sind streng durchgearbeitet, formbewusst und radikal reduziert. 147 Stories komprimiert sie auf 300 Seiten. Ihr Blick für die Paradoxien des Alltags und auch für deren Komik ist frappierend.

This episode is *giving* millennial

Emily is back in Connecticut, which means she and Chris were able to record this episode together at Book Cougars HQ. We are grateful for long-distance recording technology, but talking about books in person is much more fun! Our special guest is Michael Kelleher, Director of the Windham Campbell Prizes. Mike explains that these awards are given to writers, not for a particular book, but in four categories: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and playwriting. This year's festival dates are September 17-20 at Yale in New Haven, CT. If you can't make it to Connecticut, some events, like Lydia Davis's keynote and the awards ceremony, will be live-streamed (links in the show notes). The books and stories we read since the last episode include: Envy by Sandra Brown Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez The Truth's We Hold: An American Story by Kamala Harris Mrs. Saint and the Defectives by Julie Lawson Timmer Big by Vashti Harrison “Disaster Stamps of Pluto” by Louise Erdrich from the collection The Best American Mystery Stories 2005 edited by Joyce Carol Oates and Otto Penzler “Double Birthday” by Willa Cather in The Best American Short Stories of the Century edited by John Updike As always, we also talk about what we're #CurrentlyReading, what we want to read, and Biblio Adventures.

In this episode, Elizabeth, Hannah, and Steven are thinking about prose poems -- how do they differ from other short forms, like flash fiction or the micro-essay? Poets discussed include Baudelaire, Lydia Davis, Ross Gay, Joe Brainard, Russell Edson, Harryette Mullen, and more. Please take our survey here (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Poetry2024).

On today’s program, I am talking with Kerrie Willis, Andy Dahl, Cindy Chavez, Sarah Dawson, and Lydia Davis to get an update on PLANT Washington Orchard and Community Garden.

Today Spencer Ruchti of Third Place Books joins to chat about The Tanners by Robert Walser, translated by Susan Bernofsky. We actually recorded this back in November and are glad to get it out into the world. Early on Spencer dips out momentarily due to an alarm in the store, but all ended up being right with the world. At least in that instant.This is another wide-ranging chat as we dig into The Tanners and Walser's writing. Some notable—perhaps random, perhaps not—topics that came up: hiking, firefighters, Full House, and lucid dreaming.Lastly, Spencer is one of the founders of a newer literary prize, the Cercador Prize, which selected its first winner, Of Cattle and Men from Charco Press, back in the Fall.

NO READING REQUIRED! Kimberly lays out a very persuasive argument for why reading is REALLY GOOD for you. Featuring wisdom from Virginia Woolf (and Maryanne Wolf), Jia Tolentino, Lydia Davis and Vladimir Nabokov, the lecture will give you all the rationale you need to read a LOT MORE THIS YEAR.

Popular author Lydia Davis decided that she no longer wanted her books sold on Amazon. So she tasked her agent with finding a publisher who could do this for her. Everyone said that it was impossible. But through a unique partnership between Microcosm and Bookshop.org, we found a way. And it wasn't even hard. This is how it turned out. Over 10,000 books sold in the first month and growing! ************Thank you for watching the People's Guide to Publishing vlogcast!  Get the book: https://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/books/3663Get the workbook: https://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/zines/10031More from Microcosm: http://microcosmpublishing.comMore by Joe Biel: http://joebiel.netMore by Elly Blue: http://takingthelane.comSubscribe to our monthly email newsletter: https://confirmsubscription.com/h/r/0EABB2040D281C9CFind us on social mediaFacebook: http://facebook.com/microcosmpublishingTwitter: http://twitter.com/microcosmmmInstagram: http://instagram.com/microcosm_pub************

Lydia Davis has been called "one of the quiet giants in the world of American fiction." Her 2007 short story collection, Varieties of Disturbance, was a finalist for the National Book Award. Davis's newest title, Our Strangers, contains 144 short stories in 300 pages. Lydia Davis spoke to Eleanor Wachtel on stage at the Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival in Montreal. *This interview originally aired June 10, 2007.

'The writers that grab me these days are those who pull and push not only at the limits of language but at those of form. 'The writers that grab me these days are those who pull and push not only at the limits of language but at those of form. Lydia Davis takes the already chameleon short story and whittles it down to single paragraphs, stacking sentences into collages.

Kate Wolf speaks to author and translator Lydia Davis about her latest collection of stories, Our Strangers. The book, which is notably not available for sale on Amazon, includes well over 100 stories, with many measuring at just a few lines. The stories take a variety forms: sketches of interactions from daily life, letters of complaint, recorded anecdotes, sequential interludes, grammatical inquires, meditations on passing thoughts and fantasies, as well as more sustained looks at life in a small country town and the intimacies we share with neighbors. Davis returns to abiding themes of aging, friendship, illness, death, mutual care, melancholy, nature, and the life of women with singular insight, humor, rigor, and an ever-present curiosity.  Also, Hilary Leichter, author of Terrace Story, returns to recommend Worry: A Novel by Alexandra Tanner.

Lydia Davis knows that the small details that make up a life are fascinating. It's a matter of perspective.In "Our Strangers," Davis' seventh collection of fiction, peoples' lives intersect for brief moments on trains, in restaurants, and as neighbors. Conversations are overheard and misheard; a special delivery letter is mistaken for a rare white butterfly; toddlers learning to speak identify a ping pong ball as an egg; mumbled remarks become a series of moments of annoyance in a marriage.

Lydia Davis on the writing of Our Strangers.

Today's conversation with Lydia Davis about her latest story collection, Our Strangers, a collection of 143 stories, is a deep dive into storytelling. These stories, whether incredibly short or quite long, often eschew backstory, exposition, context, or psychological interiority. Sometimes they even comment on other stories within the collection, or revise themselves, becoming something else entirely. […] The post Lydia Davis : Our Strangers appeared first on Tin House.

How do we, as readers, detect new and emerging talent in writing? We can look at book sales or book prizes but young writers don't necessarily gain huge commercial success or awards early on in their careers. One list that has proved almost oracular in the last 40 years has been established by the venerable literary magazine Granta and that's the list of Best Young British Novelists. My guest today, Olivia Sudjic, is a young British writer, who was included on the latest lists published this year. She has now published two novels as well as an extended essay on the art & process of writing. Her first novel, “Sympathy” was published in 2017 and is a tale of obsession & connection in our ever-creeping technological age. This was followed by “Exposure”, an essay published in 2018, which allowed her to look back and reflect on this momentous step of writing and how that had impacted her. It was a great look into the mindset, approach and perception of a young female writer in today's world. This was then followed by another novel, “Asylum Road” in 2021, about the voyages of a young woman in the UK who is in a relationship on the brink. I was excited to speak to Olivia to learn about her journey as a writer, her inspirations, her voice and of course her recommendations. Books mentioned throughout the episode: Favourite book I've never heard of: “Confessions of a Justified Sinner”, by James Hogg. (1824) The best book Olivia read in the last 12 months: “My Phantoms” by Gwendoline Riley (2021) The book that she's embarrassed not to have read: “The Golden Notebook” by Doris Lessing (1962) The book that she would take to a desert island: “Super-Infinite” by Katherine Rundell (2022) The book that changed her mind: “The End of the Story” by Lydia Davis (1995) Find Olivia: Instagram: @olivia.sudjic Buy Asylum Road: https://amzn.eu/d/hiAKTJI Follow me ⁠⁠⁠@litwithcharles⁠⁠⁠ for more book reviews and recommendations!

Meg Wolitzer hands off to guest host Maulik Pancholy, who presents three stories about workers and the workplace—and "the daily grind."  In a John Cheever classic, “Bayonne,” a busy waitress defends her territory.  The reader is Mary Kay Place.  The always succinct Lydia Davis gives us “Alvin the Typesetter,” in which a bohemian artist battles job conformity.  The late David Rakoff performs.   And in “OBF, Inc." by Bernice L. McFadden, an interviewee at a hip start-up learns about a secret organization that sells cultural capital.  It's performed by Teagle F. Bougere.

Portraits of real people abound in books. There are novels that use transcribed conversations, like Sheila Heti's How Should A Person Be, or fiction based on historical or even living people, like Curtis Sittenfield's Rodham. Our guest this month is the writer Kathryn Scanlan who joined us from the States to talk about her riveting new novel, Kick the Latch, which is based upon a series of conversations that Kathryn had with a woman named Sonia about her joyful and brutal life as a trainer for racehorses. Lydia Davis called Kick the Latch a “magical act of empathic ventriloquy”, and this show is about literature that engages in similar ways with the lives of others. We'll be getting into things like the ethics of writing from another life in fiction, the art of biography, and our favourite literary portraits, plus all our usual reading recommendations. Recommendations on the theme, The Lives of Others: Octavia: Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders Carrie: Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow General recommendations: Octavia: Avalon by Nell Zink Kathryn: Guston in Time: Remembering Philip Guston by Ross Feld Carrie: Foster by Claire Keegan Find a list of all recommended books at: https://uk.bookshop.org/lists/jan-2023-the-lives-of-others-with-kathryn-scanlan Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/litfriction Email us: litfriction@gmail.com Tweet us & find us on Instagram: @litfriction

Pod45 has been on a short hiatus over the summer but we are delighted to be back and delighted to have you back with us. Today our discussion takes us to a cluster we published earlier in the summer, at the very end of June, on the writer and translator Lydia Davis. That cluster is edited by Julie Tanner and features, alongside a wonderful range of responses to Davis's work, previously unseen journal excerpts from Davis herself, which we were honoured to be given by Davis to publish. As Julie suggests in her introduction to the cluster, there is a seeming discrepancy between what we might call Davis's cult popularity and what remains a relative lack of scholarly attention paid to her. As Julie puts it, “Davis is strikingly singular, but it is perhaps the plurality of genres and modalities that repels categories, movements, and, often, syllabi.” Yet, to quote Julie again, “though a writers' writer to some, Davis is a readers' writer for us all.” That, I think, is what the discussion you're about to hear emphasizes most. For this discussion, Contemporaries co-editor Francisco Robles sat down with cluster editor Julie Tanner, alongside cluster contributors Jonathan Evans, Alice Blackhurst, and Lola Boorman. You can find the Lydia Davis cluster at post45.org/contemporaries now, and you can follow Contemporaries on Twitter at @AtPost45.

I discuss Rosalind Miles's Who Cooked The Last Supper? A Women's History of the World. (I LOVED THIS BOOK), I also talk a bit about the who Bronte Sisters were, and the strange stories of Lydia Davis that are filled with symbolism. I perform some music by cool women. Prerecorded past midnight to be aired on my college's radio station on Thursday, this is a chill, late night discussion of awesome women writers. Hope you enjoy!

How does a poet see the world? How can we move past self doubt and keep writing after rejection? In this episode we talk to Anthony Anaxagorou about how his journaling practice helps him generate ideas for his work, what his editing process looks like, and why he might spend eight or nine hours working on a single poem. Anthony is candid about his experience of failure and rejection, shares why we should be wary of the temptations of ‘prize culture' (always seeking validation through the next prize), and why it's crucial to develop our own internal value system to sustain ourselves and our writing. He even reads us some of his poetry!*ABOUT ANTHONY ANAXAGOROUAnthony Anaxagorou is a British-born Cypriot poet, fiction writer, essayist, publisher and poetry educator. His second collection After the Formalities was shortlisted for the 2019 T.S Eliot Prize. He was awarded the 2019 H-100 Award for writing and publishing, and the 2015 Groucho Maverick Award for his poetry and fiction. He's the founder of one of London's leading poetry nights, Out-Spoken, and the independent publisher Out-Spoken Press.*SHOW NOTES[03:22] The experience of writing a book during the pandemic[04:41] Anthony talks about his uncle and how he influenced him as a writer[08:07] On failures and why it's important to ask yourself searching questions and see rejection as part of your job[11:48] What is prize culture and why does Anthony think it's dangerous?[14:06] Measuring success and creating your own value system[15:04] Anthony reads his poem, "Uber"[18:31] On being dissatisfied with his own work [21:53] On why he carrys a notebook with him all the time, and a writing habit he got from Lydia Davis[22:34] Anthony's morning writing exercise[24:15] Anthony talks about his writing process, including 7-8 hours of focusing on one poem[27:43] How do you stop feeling intimidated by the academic side of poetry?[31:32] Anthony reflects on what "pushing your writing as far as it can go" means to him[34:32] Anthony shares the exercises he gives to his students to help them in writing a poem[36:38] What is the loaf of bread analogy, and why is playing with timelines when you write essential?[37:40] Resolving the poem and the idea of leaving the reader with questions[39:15] How do you know when a poem is done? [43:33] On being in conversation with the reader and why the writer is only half the conversation[46:13] Anthony shares how he started his London-based Out-Spoken open mic nights [49:44] Anthony reads his poem, "After the Formalities"*QUOTES BY ANTHONY:“The more you read, the more you get a sense for how poems work. And it's literally just from reading and you get a sense of where things end and where is an interesting place to end. If you think along the lines of—if you think the word interesting as opposed to kind of definitive. Then it kind of—it swaps. I just want to be interesting on the page. I don't want to be correct.

A prolific translator, author, and former professor of creative writing, Lydia Davis's motivation for her life's work is jarringly simple: she just loves language. She loves short, sparkling sentences. She loves that in English we have Anglo-Saxon words like “underground” or Latinate alternatives like “subterranean.” She loves reading books in foreign languages, discovering not only their content but a different culture and a different history at the same time. Despite describing her creative process as “chaotic” and herself as “not ambitious,” she is among America's best-known short story writers and a celebrated essayist. Lydia joined Tyler to discuss how the form of short stories shapes their content, how to persuade an ant to leave your house, the difference between poetry and very short stories, Proust's underrated sense of humor, why she likes Proust despite being averse to long books, the appeal of Josep Pla's The Gray Notebook, why Proust is funnier in French or German than in English, the hidden wit of Franz Kafka, the economics of poorly translated film subtitles, her love of Velázquez and early Flemish landscape paintings, how Bach and Schubert captured her early imagination, why she doesn't like the Harry Potter novels—but appreciates their effects on young readers, whether she'll ever publish her diaries, how her work has evolved over time, how to spot talent in a young writer, her method (or lack thereof) for teaching writing, what she learned about words that begin with “wr,” how her translations of Proust and Flaubert differ from others, what she's most interested in translating now, what we can expect from her next, and more.

They talk about the incredible wonders of language acquisition and psychological development, then get into the nitty gritty of cycles of trauma. Also on the agenda: bacon used as bandaids, Wyatt learns how to use sound effects, and poems by Sam Sax and Lydia Davis.
