Kääntäjä Taru Salminen tuntee korealaisen kulttuurin ja historian ja sitä kautta teosten taustoittamisen. Miten hän kuvailisi sitä historiaa, johon Han Kangin teokset Ihmisen teot ja Älä jätä hyvästejä liittyvät. Häntä kiehtoo se että viimeisimmän teoksensa syntyprosessissa, Han Kang on oikeasti nähnyt samanlaisen unen, jolla Älä jätä hyvästejä-romaani alkaa ja hänen ystävälleen on käynyt samanlainen onnettomuus kuin teoksen Inseonille. Mitä tämä kertoo Han Kangin suhteesta todellisuuteen ja tarinaan? Han Kangin esiintyminen Pariisin kirjamessuilla estettiin vuonna 2016, presidentti kieltäytyi onnittelemasta häntä Man Booker International-palkinnon johdosta. Mistä tämä kertoo? Keskustelemme myös lumen merkityksestä hänen teoksissaan. “Romaani on kauhea. Silti ajattelen: Se on ehkä paras tänä vuonna lukemani romaani. Haluan, että monet muut lukevat sen, eivätkä pidä sitä rangaistuksena, vaan palkintona. Jos joku kysyisi minulta, kenen pitäisi saada Nobelin kirjallisuuspalkinto vastaan ​​Han Kang". Näin Pia Ingström kirjoitti Hufvudstadsbladetissa muutama päivä ennen Nobelin kirjallisuuspalkinnon julkistamista. Vieraina ovat kirjallisuustoimittaja Pia Ingström ja kääntäjä Taru Salminen. Ohjelman juontajana on Pia-Maria Lehtola.

Estamos de fiesta. Celebramos el capitulo #100 de Maternidades (Im)perfectas con la escritora argentina Ariana Harwicz  Su primera novela, Matate, amor (2012) o Die, My Love (2017), ha sido varias veces nominada para premios como el Man Booker International (2018). Esta novela es parte de “una trilogía involuntaria”, junto con La débil mental y Precoz.  Los libros de Harwicz han sido traducidos a más de 20 idiomas. Con ella conversamos acerca de los prejuicios, dogmas, sobre la romantización de la maternidad, sobre cómo podemos vernos aún como mujeres aún siendo madres, y cómo la maternidad nos cambia de manera impactante.

"Hacer preguntas, eso es para mí escribir. No escribo respuestas, simplemente me afano en redondear las preguntas , trato de permanecer mucho tiempo dentro de ellas. De rodillas, arrastrándome otras veces, espero llegar hasta el final, hasta el centro (aunque sea imposible). Esta novela es también una pregunta imposible. Hay una mujer, un ser humano que no quiere formar parte de la humanidad. Un ser que pone en juego su vida para no dañar a nadie ni nada. un ser a quien un día deja de importarle en absoluto vivir o morir. Simplemente quise preguntar si una mujer así se quedara en silencio, y llevara a cabo su decisión, qué es lo que pasaría: con qué se encontraría al final del camino", dice la autora coreana en la portada de su premiada novela "La vegetariana" (Man Booker International 2016, Rata 2017). Han Kang nació en el año 1970. Su escritura mostró desde sus inicios, una voz contenida, empapada en herida y dolores, separándose de los autores de su generación que, como ella, también empezaban en la poesía, pero sobre todo, en el relato breve tan popular en Corea, sin embargo, ellos lo hacían recurriendo al humor, la ironía y el ingenio. Han Kang llamó la atención de la crítica coreana desde el comienzo por la madurez y hondura de su escritura y ha sido una de las autoras que ha logrado traspasar las fronteras y ser traducida a muchas lenguas.

En el mundo de los libros, el nombre de la argentina Samanta Schweblin es sinónimo de éxito literario y calidad narrativa. Samanta nació en 1978 en Buenos Aires, donde hizo estudios de cine y televisión.Vive en Berlín desde hace varios años, ciudad en la que escribe y dicta talleres literarios. Sus libros de cuentos Pájaros en la boca y Siete casas vacías la consagraron como una de las grandes voces de la narrativa breve en español, a partir de sus cuentos inquietantes, muchas veces incluidos dentro del género gótico o nuevo gótico latinoamericano, con sus dosis de horror y elementos siniestros, muchas veces cercanos al terror. Su primera novela fue Distancia de rescate, en donde la historia, originalmente pensada para cuento, tomó vuelo entre los lectores de todo el mundo hasta convertir su título en un concepto, el que habla de ese cordón invisible que se tensa o se relaja en función de los peligros a los imaginamos que está expuesto un hijo. La maternidad, la insatisfacción, la amistad entre mujeres y los agrotóxicos que destruyen la soñada postal de la naturaleza rural son los elementos centrales de una historia potente y profundamente perturbadora. Con el título de Fever Dream en inglés, fue finalista del prestigioso premio Man Booker International en 2017. La novela también ganó el premio Shirley Jackson y otros galardones. La segunda novela de Schweblin, Kentukis, fue en su momento considerada uno de los libros del año por The New York Times en 2018. Se trata de un relato coral en el cual la tecnología es central pero sobre todo para advertirnos dónde estamos parados como humanidad frente a ella. Los protagonistas son los kentukis, una mezcla entre una app y un dispositivo nuevo que permite el acceso remoto de un ciudadano a la vida privada de otro, en cualquier lugar del planeta, con todos los peligros y las libertades que eso puede tener. En estos días, Distancia de rescate acaba de convertirse en una gran película que puede verse en cines y en la plataforma Netflix. Fue dirigida por la peruana Claudia Llosa y protagonizada por la argentina Dolores Fonzi y la española María Valverde. Samanta participó de la escritura del guión. En la sección Libros que sí, Hinde recomendó “Som-Hi. Diario de mar”, de Inés Marcó (Blatt & Ríos) y “La herencia”, de Vigdis Hjorth (Nórdica). En voz alta, la cantante Dolores Solá leyó el comienzo de "El común olvido", de Sylvia Molloy y en Te regalo un libro, el escritor Juan Pablo Bertazza habló de “El Golem” de Gustav Meyrink.

Reconstructing the tragic story of a medieval noblewoman who leaves her home and family for the love of a Jewish boy. The Convert, Finalist (Sephardic Culture), The National Jewish Book Award (2020) In this dazzling work of historical fiction, the Man Booker International–long-listed author of War and Turpentine reconstructs the tragic story of a medieval noblewoman who leaves her home and family for the love of a Jewish boy. In eleventh-century France, Vigdis Adelaïs, a young woman from a prosperous Christian family, falls in love with David Todros, a rabbi's son and yeshiva student. To be together, the couple must flee their city, and Vigdis must renounce her life of privilege and comfort. Pursued by her father's knights and in constant danger of betrayal, the lovers embark on a dangerous journey to the south of France, only to find their brief happiness destroyed by the vicious wave of anti-Semitism sweeping through Europe with the onset of the First Crusade. What begins as a story of forbidden love evolves into a globe-trotting trek spanning continents, as Vigdis undertakes an epic journey to Cairo and back, enduring the unimaginable in hopes of finding her lost children. Based on two fragments from the Cairo Genizah—a repository of more than three hundred thousand manuscripts and documents stored in the upper chamber of a synagogue in Old Cairo—Stefan Hertmans has pieced together a remarkable work of imagination, re-creating the tragic story of two star-crossed lovers whose steps he retraces almost a millennium later. Blending fact and fiction, and with immense imagination and stylistic ingenuity, Hertmans painstakingly depicts Vigdis's terrible trials, bringing the Middle Ages to life and illuminating a chaotic world of love and hate. Ste­fan Hert­mans is an inter­na­tion­al­ly acclaimed Flem­ish author. For more than twen­ty years he was a pro­fes­sor at the Roy­al Acad­e­my of Fine Arts, Ghent, where he wrote nov­els, poems, essays, and plays. His pre­vi­ous book, War and Tur­pen­tine, was award­ed the pres­ti­gious AKO Lit­er­a­ture Prize in 2014.

UK publisher Penguin attracted attention in the summer of 2018 by announcing that it would take account of gender, ethnic origin and class when seeking new staff and authors. Norwegian publishers are dominated by white middle class people with higher education. Is this a problem? Would greater emphasis on diversity override quality criteria – or could it on the contrary raise the quality of the works published? Critic Ane Farsethås, author Jennifer Makumbi, publishing editor Kari Marstein, former Man Booker International juror Daniel Medin and books editor Peter Nielsen will debate this issue with professor Eirik Vassenden in the chair. The conversation will be in English.

Man Booker International-shortlisted novelist Mathias Enard, 'the most brazenly lapel-grabbing French author since Michel Houellebecq', returns with Tell Them of Battles, Kings and Elephants (tr. Charlotte Mandell), his fourth novel to appear in English after Zone, Street of Thieves and Compass. In 1506, Michelangelo – a young but already renowned sculptor – is invited by the sultan of Constantinople to design a bridge over the Golden Horn. Michelangelo, after some hesitation, flees Rome and an irritated Pope Julius II – whose commission he leaves unfinished – and arrives in Constantinople. Constructed from real historical fragments, Tell Them of Battles, Kings, and Elephants is a thrilling novella about why stories are told, why bridges are built, and how seemingly unmatched pieces, seen from the opposite sides of civilization, can mirror one another. Enard was in conversation with Elif Shafak. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Anaesthesia by Albert OstermaierTranslated from the German by Charlotte CollinsAnaesthesia is a short solo audio play written by acclaimed German author Albert Ostermaier and translated by Charlotte Collins. In Anaesthesia, which was commissioned by the major German theater festival Theatertreffen on the theme of “Decline and Downfall of Western Civilization,” a singer injured in a car accident on her way to a performance struggles to make sense of what is happening to her as an anaesthetic is administered. The play emerges as a stream-of-consciousness monologue which is at once dreamlike, intimate, and tautly constructed.The Play for Voices production of Anaesthesia was performed by Jane Kaczmarek and directed by Sarah Montague. Matt Fidler designed and mixed the audio. Play for Voices audio plays are recorded at Harvestworks by audio engineer Kevin Ramsay.Play for Voices is produced by Matt Fidler, Anne Posten, Katrin Redfern, and Jen Zoble.About the Author and TranslatorAlbert Ostermaier (author), born in 1967 in Munich, is one of Germany’s leading contemporary playwrights. His first play, Zwischen zwei Feuern: Tollertopographie, premiered at the renowned Bayerisches Staatsschauspiel in 1995.

What exactly does a translator do? Despite the Man Booker International literary prize and other initiatives acknowledging the important role translators play in bringing foreign literature to readers, there’s still little understanding of what's actually involved in the craft of translation. In this episode, Matthew Hyde, who translates from Russian and Estonian, details how he went from being a government translator in the UK to a literary translator in Estonia. He also tackles the misconception that translation is simply swapping words. In addition to his translation work, Matthew is a jazz musician who plays double bass, and draws some interesting parallels between music and writing.

Snart er det ferie og masser af romaner har gennem tiden handlet om at holde ferie. Fra Herman Bang til Ida Holmegaard, fra Virginia Woolf til Alex Garland. Hvad kan selve den litteratur, som handler direkte om ferie fortælle os om de særlige stunder hvor arbejdslivet helt toner ud? Det giver litteraturredaktionens praktikant Sebastian F. Wittrock et bud på. Ferie kunne også godt være fantasy. Og i denne udgave af Bogfolk retter vi en særlig opmærksomhed mod kvindelige sci-fi- og fantasyforfattere. Anne-Marie Vedsø Olesen gæster programmet. Hun mener fantasy og science fiction er oplagte litterære genrer, hvis man ønsker oprør og ligeværdighed.En kandidat til strandtasken kunne være ’The Vegetarian’ af Koreanske Han Kang, som fik Man Booker International prize 2016.
