The best-selling author of Hamnet, Maggie O Farrell joins me next to discuss her next page-turner 'The Marriage Portrait'
On this week's program part 2 of UNL English Professor Stephen Buhler's summer reading list which features, "Hamnet: the Story of a Plague" by Maggie O'Farrell. A novel imagining William Shakespeare's marriage, family and the death of one of his sons.
For our season finale, I bring you the glorious Maggie O'Farrell. She is one of my favourite authors, and her books include the highly acclaimed novels After You'd Gone, The Hand That First Held Mine, Instructions for a Heatwave and the bestselling memoir I Am, I Am, I Am. Her most recent work of fiction, Hamnet, imagined the untold story of Shakespeare's son who died at the age of 11. It won the 2020 Women's Prize. She joins me to talk about resurrecting the untold stories of women, how to be a writer and a parent (Cyril Connolly and his 'pram in the hallway' come in for a bit of a bashing) as well as how she applies concepts of success and failure to her books. She talks about her stammer and her failure to do a PhD and we also discuss how a childhood illness changed her forever, and the various physical repercussions that she still lives with. Plus: why she always finds the back of a tapestry far more interesting than the front... * Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell is out now. You can buy all her books here. * My new novel, Magpie, is out on 2nd September. I'd love it if you felt like pre-ordering as it really helps authors!

Fernanda Melchor nació en Veracruz, México, en 1982. Es periodista y escritora, destacada cronista de su generación y, a partir del éxito internacional de su novela Temporada de huracanes, una de las grandes referentes de la literatura latinoamericana escrita por mujeres, que comienza a leerse en otras lenguas en el mundo. Acaba de publicarse Paradais, una nueva novela de Melchor, cuyos protagonistas son dos jóvenes adultos inadaptados. Franco es un chico obeso y completamente excluido de las bandas de la clase alta a la que pertenece, y está obsesionado sexualmente con una vecina mayor. El otro es Polo, un chico de clase baja que trabaja de jardinero en el complejo residencial de lujo donde vive Franco y que, aunque en un comienzo lo rechaza, termina aceptando sus invitaciones a juntarse por las noches para compartir frustraciones y fantasías. El ciclo de sus encuentros, entre el alcohol, los deseos truncados y el resentimiento, va camino hacia una espiral de violencia inusitada y escalofriante, que Melchor narra con maestría. En la sección Libros que sí, Hinde recomendó “Yoga”, de Emmanuel Carrere y “Así hablaba mi madre”, de Rachid Benzine. En voz alta, el docente y crítico de teatro Jorge Dubatti leyó un fragmento de “El teatro de la muerte” de Tadeusz Kantor y en Te regalo un libro, la escritora Cecilia Sorrentino habló de “Hammet” de Hammet” de Maggie O´Farrell.
The 2020 novel Hamnet won the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction and was named one of the ten best books of the year by The New York Times. Author Maggie O’Farrell joins us to discuss the novel, which fictionalizes the death of Shakespeare’s beloved son, Hamnet, and the writing of his legendary play, “Hamlet.” Hamnet is now available in paperback.
Maggie O’Farrell’s “Hamnet,” one of last year’s most widely acclaimed novels, imagines the life of William Shakespeare, his wife, Anne (or Agnes) Hathaway, and the couple’s son Hamnet, who died at 11 years old in 1596. On this week’s podcast, O’Farrell says she always planned for the novel to have the ensemble cast it does, but that her deepest motivation was the desire to capture a sense of the young boy at its center.“The engine behind the book for me was always the fact that I think Hamnet has been overlooked and underwritten by history,” she says. “I think he’s been consigned to a literary footnote. And I believe, quite strongly, that without him — without his tragically short life — we wouldn’t have the play ‘Hamlet.’ We probably wouldn’t have ‘Twelfth Night.’ As an audience, we are enormously in debt to him.”Judith Shulevitz visits the podcast to discuss Rachel Cusk’s new novel, “Second Place,” and to analyze Cusk’s literary style.“In this review, I quote Isaac Babel: ‘No iron spike can pierce a human heart as icily as a period in the right place.’ There’s this kind of clinical accuracy to her writing,” Shulevitz says, “that she brings to bear on both the physical world and on the emotional world that is almost scary. Which is what I like.”Also on this week’s episode, Tina Jordan looks back at Book Review history as it celebrates its 125th anniversary this year; Alexandra Alter has news from the publishing world; and Dwight Garner and Jennifer Szalai talk about books they’ve recently reviewed. Pamela Paul is the host.Here are the books discussed by the Times’s critics this week:“The Life She Wished to Live” by Ann McCutchan“Dedicated” by Pete Davis
Episode Six of Lit Matters dives into the “undiscovered country” that is Hamlet as Chris chats with Ken Parker, a Professor of English at Orange Coast College, and “a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.” Chris and Ken continue a conversation about Shakespeare’s masterpiece that has been ongoing for decades, along with a discussion of music, inspiring teachers, and tiny trains. This episode is a “knavish piece of work,” and so much fun.

Maggie O'Farrell lässt in ihrem preisgekrönten Buch "Hamnet" (2020 Tinder Press) eine viel besprochene Frauenfigur der Geschichte wieder auferstehen. Doch anders als in O'Farrells Roman, der ein intimes, wohlwollendes Portrait der Frau "hinter" William Shakespeare zeichnet, kommt Anne oder Agnes Hathaway in der Geschichtsschreibung nicht gut weg. Und das, obwohl kaum etwas über ihr Leben bekannt ist.

Feiste Bücher Vorgelesen: "Lunge", eine autobiografische Geschichte von Maggie O’Farrell, aus dem Geschichtenband „Ich bin, ich bin, ich bin“. Ein- bis zweimal im Jahr kommt die nordirische Autorin Maggie O’Farrell in die Nähe des Todes. Ihre mittlere Tochter leidet unter einer so ausgeprägten Allergie, dass es ausreichen kann, neben jemandem zu sitzen, der Müsli mit Nüssen gefrühstückt hat – und es droht ein anaphylaktischer Schock. Es mag makaber klingen, aber bei aller Angst ist vielleicht niemand so gut auf dieses Vorbeischrammen am Tod vorbereitet wie O’Farrell, denn sie hat selbst mehr als eine lebensbedrohliche Situation erlebt. Um ihrer Tochter zu zeigen, dass man überleben kann, hat die in jedem Sinn ausgezeichnete Autorin 17 autobiografische Geschichten aufgeschrieben, darunter auch die ihrer Tochter. Beim Lesen habe ich mehr als einmal den Atem angehalten. Nicht etwa, weil O’Farrell so dramatisch würde, im Gegenteil, oft nehmen die Geschichten ganz beiläufig eine existenzielle Wendung. Etwa als sie als 16-Jährige aus Teenager-Überdruss eine Mutprobe eingeht. Diese Geschichte lese ich heute vor. „Ich bin, ich bin, ich bin“ von Maggie O’Farrell ist im Piper-Verlag erschienen. Sabine Roth hat die Geschichten aus dem Englischen übersetzt. Es gibt inzwischen eine Taschenbuch-Ausgabe, die hat 256 Seiten und kostet 11 Euro. Das gleichnamige Hörbuch ist bei Tacheles! Roof Music erschienen, Sprecherin Maria Simon. Das Hörbuch kostet 13,99 €. Danke für eure Gratulationen zum Podcast-Geburtstag. Die Gewinner*innen der zehn Bücher sind benachrichtigt.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk to people who have found meaning and a sense of shared experience in Hamlet’s famous soliloquy at the most difficult times of their lives; including dealing with bereavement, traumatic loss and mental health problems. We also talk to Maggie O Farrell, whose recent award-winning novel speculates that the uncanny power of the play may be rooted in the grief of Shakespeare himself, who wrote the play a few years after the death of his own son.

Shakespeare's Birthday Month continues with Part Two with our conversation with Dr Edel Semple from University College in Cork, Ireland, and Dr. Ronan Hatfull from the University of Warwick, talking about Shakespearean Biofiction onstage, screen, and this week on the page, too. We share love for both Hamnet the novel by Maggie O’Farrell and Hamnet the play (by Irish companies Dead Centre and the Abbey Theatre); brushes with greatness (in the forms of playwright Edward Bond and comedian Eddie Izzard); and we discuss all the big questions: how intimidating it can be putting words into Shakespeare’s mouth; how biofiction can speculate realistically or fantastically about where Shakespeare’s genius comes from; whether Shakespeare is, in fact, worth it; how Shakespeare compares to Leontes in The Winter's Tale; how we can avoid spoilers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier; what's amazing about Lauren Gunderson’s The Book of Will; and, amazingly, the good things in Roland Emmerich’s film Anonymous. (Pictured, clockwise from top left: Laurie Davidson as the title character in the miniseries Will; Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell; Austin Tichenor as Richard Burbage in Lauren Gunderson's The Book of Will at Northlight Theatre, photo by Liz Lauren; and Kenneth Branagh as William Shakespeare in All Is True.) (Length 22:31) The post More Shakespearean Biofiction appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

In the final episode of the third series (thank you for listening!), Maggie O'Farrell joins me from her home in Edinburgh. Maggie is the author of eight novels, including After You'd Gone, This Must Be The Place and Hamnet, which last year won the Women's Prize for Fiction. She also wrote the unsettling 2017 memoir I Am I Am I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death. She describes the Victorian greenhouse-turned-studio where her books take shape, and talks about the difficulty of knowing where to begin; the laborious but valuable experience of getting her first novel published, and why she loves it when a manuscript veers off course.You can find Maggie's books and those of other guests of the podcast here, along with a selection of books on writing that I've found helpful: https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/in-writing
In his new book, “Life’s Edge,” Carl Zimmer asks the modest questions: What is life? How did it begin? And by what criteria can we define things as “living”? On this week’s podcast, Zimmer, a science columnist for The Times, talks about just how difficult it can be to find answers.“There are actually philosophers who have argued that maybe we should just try not to define life at all, in fact; that maybe we’re getting ourselves into trouble,” Zimmer says. “If you look for a definition of life from scientists, you will find hundreds of them; hundreds of published definitions that are different from each other. And every year a new one comes out, or maybe two, and they just keep going. there was a paper I read not too long ago that said that there are probably as many definitions of life as people who are trying to define life.”Paulina Bren visits the podcast to discuss her new book, “The Barbizon,” an account of the storied hotel for women that first opened in 1928.“It went through all sorts of incarnations,” Bren says. “This hotel really follows in so many ways not just the history of women in the 20th century, but truly the ups and downs, the history, of New York.”Also on this week’s episode, Elisabeth Egan and John Williams talk about what people are reading. Pamela Paul is the host.Here are the books discussed in this week’s “What We’re Reading”:“Visitors” by Anita Brookner“Firekeeper’s Daughter” by Angeline Boulley“I Am, I Am, I Am” by Maggie O’Farrell

Maggie O’Farrell has written eight novels, a memoir and a children’s book. In 2020 her novel Hamnet won the Women’s Prize for Fiction, and was also named Waterstones Book of the Year. Maggie was born in Norther Ireland. Her parents moved around during her childhood, and she grew up in Wales and Scotland. As a young girl, she was very ill and almost died from encephalitis. She says her lifelong love of reading comes from her long stay in hospital followed by an extended convalescence, when she missed a year of school. Her illness also left her with a stammer, which she believes has profoundly affected her relationship with language. She studied English at Cambridge University, and then looked for work as a journalist, writing poetry in her spare time. When she chanced upon a discarded computer, she decided to write a novel. She attended a creative writing course, where her tutors encouraged her to get her first manuscript published. She lives in Scotland with her husband, the writer William Sutcliffe, and their three children.

In der dreizehnten Folge von BRIGITTE Bücher sprechen Angela Wittmann und Meike Schnitzler über einen Roman und ein Sachbuch, die viel mit dem Tod, aber auch mit dem Leben zu haben. Angela Wittmann hat sich “Judith und Hamnet” von Maggie O´Farrell ausgesucht: Es gibt Romane, die stoßen eine Tür auf und schubsen einen hinein in ein Jetzt, das so nah, so absolut scheint wie der eigene Herzschlag. „Judith und Hamnet“ von Maggie O´Farrell ist so ein Buch. Jede Zeile hat etwas Pulsierendes, und zugleich spürt man in jedem Moment, wie fragil der Lebensstrom ist und wie schnell alles vorbei sein kann. Davon handelte schon ihr Memoir „Ich bin, ich bin, ich bin“, in dem die irisch-britische Autorin von ihren Begegnungen mit dem Tod erzählte. Auch in ihrem neuen Roman drängt der Tod machtvoll in das Leben einer Familie. Vor über 400 Jahren verloren Agnes (oder Anne) Hathaway und ihr Mann William Shakespeare ihren Zwillingssohn Hamnet, der mit elf Jahren an der Pest starb. Wie haben die Eltern diesen Verlust verkraftet? Der Vater schrieb später sein weltberühmtes Drama „Hamlet“. Aber wie erging es der Mutter? Wer war sie überhaupt? Acht Jahre älter als ihr Mann, eine Kräuterkundige mit vielen Gaben, die Vernunft allein nicht erklären kann. Ihr Kind wird also sterben. Aber zugleich geschieht das Leben, und eine Liebe wächst – der Name Shakespeare fällt übrigens kein einziges Mal. (Ü: Anne Kristin-Mittag, 416 S., 22 Euro, Piper).

Join us for a taste of two remarkable historical novels that are rooted in the past, but speak to our current preoccupations and challenges. While this year of pandemic and social unrest feels unprecedented, we are not the first to live in interesting times. From Shakespear's England in 1580 to Mexico in the 1960s, much of what we are facing echoes throughout history. Peter Schneider hosts Maggie O'Farrell, winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction, and J.F. Martel hosts Sarah Xerar Murphy, winner of the New Brunswick Book Award. Hamnet & Judith by Maggie O'Farrell is a luminous portrait of a marriage, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by grief and loss, and a hypnotic recreation of the story that inspired one of the greatest literary masterpieces of all time. Itzel I: A Tlatelolco Awakening, the first of two-part novel, by Sarah Xerar Murphy, tells the story of three disparate characters swept up in the drama of the Mexican student movement of 1968. Broad in scope and exuberant in style in the best tradition of Latin American literature, this book roots its readers in the ebullience of Mexico's daily life and language, even as they are made to confront the horrors of history, to examine the difficulties of friendship and family.

As part of our new series on life and shoes, we speak to Carmen about her espadrilles her mother danced in decades ago.

Maggie O’Farrell’s first picture book for children is the story of a brave little girl who is visited by her snow angel in her time of need. The idea for the book grew out of a story Maggie told her own sick child in the back of an ambulance. Why are reassuring tales so crucial for children and adults in difficult times? This US election has been described as one of the most divisive US presidential elections in decades, pitting incumbent Republican Donald Trump against his Democratic challenger Joe Biden. We reflect on the results with USA Today columnist and CNN political & legal pundit, Sophia Nelson and Bronwen Maddox, Director of Institute for Government, previously foreign and US editor for the Times. How did North American women vote this time and with more women than ever standing for election, who are the winners and losers? How do you build your confidence when you’re at rock bottom? Whether you’ve had an illness, your partner has left you or you’re returning to work after having a baby, your sense of identity can suffer.
