Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues Joseph Heller (1923-1999) Joseph Heller, author of Catch-22 and its sequel, Closing Time, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff, recorded in San Francisco on October 17, 1994. Since its original publication in 1961, Catch-22 by Joseph Heller has become a classic of anti-war literature, gaining fame during the Vietnam era for its dark and satirical look at American military life. Filmed to middling results by Mike Nichols in 1970, a new miniseries on Hulu has brought the novel back into the spotlight, where its focus on circular reasoning and insanity seems a propos to life during the current American regime. Catch-22 was Joseph Heller's first novel. In the 1970s he wrote the novels Something Happened and Good as Gold, and in the 1980s God Knows and Picture This, and the non-fiction No Laughing Matter about his struggle with Guillan-Barre Syndrome In 1994, Joseph Heller came out with a sequel to Catch-22, titled Closing Time, which deals with what happened to Yossarian and other characters after the end of World War II. This interview was recorded during that book tour and deals with both books, as well as other aspects of his career, along with comparisons to the works of Kurt Vonnegut. Despite respectful reviews and a good reputation, Closing Time is mostly forgotten today, though it is easily available on-line in both paper and e-book. Joseph Heller published a memoir, Now and Then, in 1998, and another novel, Portrait of the Artist as an Old Man, an autobiographical work about an author who is unable to shake the success of his very first novel, was published posthumously in 2000. This is the first airing of the entire interview. . Review of “Parade” at BroadwaySF Orpheum Theatre through June 8, 2025.

Susan Oxtoby: The Life and Career of Agnes Varda Susan Oxtoby. Photo: BAMPFA. Susan Oxtoby, Director of Film and Senior Film Curator at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA), discusses the work of the great Belgian-French film maker Agnes Varda (1928-2019) with host Richard Wolinsky. The first major biography of Agnes Varda, A Complicated Passion: The Life and Work of Agnes Varda by Carrie Rickey, was published in 2024 and will come out in paperback on August 12, 2025. Agnes Varda began her career as a stills photographer and became a director with La Point Courte (1954), having seen very few films in her life. She went on to international fame with Cleo from 5 to 7 and Vagabond, but her late life films The Beaches of Agnes and Faces, Places established her as one of the most important directors of the modern era. All the films discussed in this interview (except the recent documentary Viva Varda!) are available to stream on the Criterion app, save for Faces, Places, which can be streamed on Kanopy. Cleo from 5 to 7 can also be streamed on Max Complete Interview. Book Interview/Events and Theatre Links Note: Shows may unexpectedly close early or be postponed due to actors' positive COVID tests.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues The Making of the film “Bushman” Rob Nillson, Gail Schickele, Jon Shibata Film director Rob Nillson, Activist and Environmentalist Gail Schickele, and Film Archivist Jon Shibata in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, discussing the film “Bushman,” directed by David Schickele, recorded January 25, 2024 at Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive. Released in 1971 but filmed in 1968, the film “Bushman” is a masterpiece detailing the story of a Nigerian educator in San Francisco. The film vanished following its showing at various film festivals, and has now been digitized and restored, and can be viewed on the Kanopy and Hoopla, the free public library film apps. This discussion with Gail Schickele, wife of the late director David Schickele (1937-1999), his friend, colleague and collaborator director Rob Nillson, and BAMPFA film archivist John Shibata focuses first on “Bushman” and David Schickele, how the film came about and what happened during and after the filming, and later with the film's restoration, and a look at Rob Nillson's career as film-maker.

Rachel and Simon speak with the literary agent Clare Alexander. For the first portion of her career she worked in publishing, starting out in 1973 in the rights department at Penguin; after stints at Hamish Hamilton and Viking she became editor-in-chief of Macmillan and Picador. Clare published first novels by Helen Dunmore, Alex Garland, Amitav Ghosh, Haruki Murakami and Donna Tartt. In 1995, while at Viking, she was the editor of the winners of the Booker Prize, the Orange Prize (now the Women's Prize) and the Whitbread Award (the erstwhile Costa Book Awards) - the first editor ever to achieve this hat-trick. In 1998 Clare became a literary agent. Her client list includes Diana Evans, Helen Fielding, Armando Iannucci, Nicholas Shakespeare, Rory Stewart and Colin Thubron. We spoke to Clare about her early career as an editor, becoming an agent in the late 1990s, and working with authors including Pat Barker, Mark Haddon and Sebastian Faulks.

COLOURS IN HER HANDS is a brand new Montreal novel from Alice Zorn (following 2016's FIVE ROSES), a story of family, art, community and good intentions gone awry, and I was so pleased to speak to Alice about the book, and to learn how it all began with the 30+ year relationship she had with her late sister-in-law, Jo, who had Down syndrome. Jo's own perspective on the world (and the limits imposed on her by those who were more concerned with that Jo couldn't do instead of her talents and capabilities) turned into a narrative challenge for Zorn: how to write a book about somebody who sees the world the way that Jo did? And from that challenge, Mina and her brother Bruno were born. Pickle Me This is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.In our conversation, Alice talks about getting permission to write Jo's story, how feedback on early attempts resulted in the necessity of a complete rewrite with an entirely different narrative shape, and how she refused to read Mark Haddon's THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN NIGHTTIME under after she'd finally written a draft of her own book. Once she did, however, she found that Haddon's approach to writing his character Christopher (peeling away labels instead of sticking to them) affirmed many of the choices she'd made in writing Mina. About COLOURS IN HER HANDS: A witty, layered and compelling novel about a woman with Down Syndrome, exploring textile art, sibling relationships, friendships, and good intentions gone awry.What is intellectual disability? Ask Bruno, who is at his wits' end trying to predict what his sister, Mina, will do next. Ask Iris, who is entranced by the wildly inventive embroidery Mina creates. Ask Gabriela, who loves Mina and disagrees when Bruno uses Mina's constant demands as an excuse not to have a child.Meet Mina in her overstuffed Montreal apartment, surrounded by her treasures. She knows she is the best paper sorter at the recycling plant where she works. She is proud to be diabetic but equally happy to cheat on her diet. The colours she stitches hum with life.Colours in Her Hands is a nuanced and thought-provoking novel about family, about art, about questioning the way the world treats those who are different. With an unforgettable voice, Mina navigates the labyrinth that society sets for her with dignity, inventiveness, and aplomb.Alice Zorn is the author of two novels and a book of short fiction. Her novel Five Roses was translated into French and was a finalist for the Ontario Library Association Evergreen Award. Her collection Ruins and Relics was a finalist for the Quebec Writers' Federation's First Book Award. She has twice placed first in Prairie Fire's fiction contest, won the Manitoba Magazine Award for Fiction, and has published stories in literary journals including The Fiddlehead and The New Quarterly. Originally from Ontario, she now lives in Montreal. Get full access to Pickle Me This at kerryreads.substack.com/subscribe

We will be on a much needed hiatus for the entire month of June and a smidge into July. You will get replays of some of our book recommendation episodes from last year, but toward the end of June, we may have a remix episode where we catch up with a former guest. This last episode of Season 10 is about a very important topic. Although May is almost over, it isn't too late to recognize books for Mental Health Awareness month. Carrie and I both know and appreciate that mental health is part of total health. Your brain is a really big, extremely powerful, exceedingly important part of your body. If it ain't happy, no other part of you is happy either. It's no different than your kidneys or heart not performing their best. This week we give you some book recommendations, both fiction and nonfiction, that highlight mental health or bring some exposure to mental health issues.

What is the relationship between aesthetic presentation of thought and scientific conceptions of cognition? Torsa Ghosal's Out of Mind: Mode, Mediation, and Cognition in Twenty-First-Century Narrative (Ohio State UP, 2021) answers this question by offering incisive commentary on a range of contemporary fictions that combine language, maps, photographs, and other images to portray thought. Situating literature within groundbreaking debates on memory, perception, abstraction, and computation, Ghosal shows how stories not only reflect historical beliefs about how minds work but also participate in their reappraisal. Out of Mind makes a compelling case for understanding narrative forms and cognitive-scientific frameworks as co-emergent and cross-pollinating. To this end, Ghosal harnesses narrative theory, multimodality studies, cognitive sciences, and disability studies to track competing perspectives on remembering, reading, and sense of place and self. Through new readings of the works of Kamila Shamsie, Aleksandar Hemon, Mark Haddon, Lance Olsen, Steve Tomasula, Jonathan Safran Foer, and others, Out of Mind generates unique insights into literary imagination's influence on how we think and perceive amid twenty-first-century social, technological, and environmental changes.

What is the relationship between aesthetic presentation of thought and scientific conceptions of cognition? Torsa Ghosal's Out of Mind: Mode, Mediation, and Cognition in Twenty-First-Century Narrative (Ohio State UP, 2021) answers this question by offering incisive commentary on a range of contemporary fictions that combine language, maps, photographs, and other images to portray thought. Situating literature within groundbreaking debates on memory, perception, abstraction, and computation, Ghosal shows how stories not only reflect historical beliefs about how minds work but also participate in their reappraisal.

In this episode, I return home to England to visit the writing room of one of our best-loved playwrights, Simon Stephens. Simon is perhaps best known for his critically acclaimed stage adaptation of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which enjoyed acclaim in the West End and on Broadway, winning Best New Play at both the Olivier's in 2013 and the Tony's in 2015. Time Magazine called the play ‘life-affirming' and 'unmissable', - evidenced by the 5 Tony Awards, 6 Drama Desk Awards and 7 Olivier Awards the play collected.Words of Wisdom"Make sure when you write a play you've read it from the point of view of each of your characters, so you chart their psychological and emotional journey individually so that it's all cogent, all makes sense, and has a sense of movement and progression". - Simon Stephens.Discover Simon's workSimon's plays at Drama OnlineSimon Stephens: A Working DiaryConnect with PaulBuy the book, The Writer's ToolkitVisit Paul's websiteConnect on Instagram @PaulKalburgiConnect on Twitter @PaulKalburgiSupport the show!This podcast is fuelled by coffee.

Language arts teacher Melissa Schumacher discusses the book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon and how it allows students to understand autism from the perspective of the main character.
De inmiddels wereldberoemde roman van Mark Haddon verscheen in 2003. Het boek werd met meerdere prijzen bekroond, veelvuldig vertaald en uiteindelijk zelfs als theaterstuk vertoond. De wonderbaarlijke titel verwijst weliswaar naar een verhaal over Sherlock Holmes, maar het boek over de vijftienjarige Christopher is meer dan alleen een detectiveroman. Christopher heeft een vorm van autisme en heeft een grote voorliefde voor wiskunde, lijstjes en dieren. Vanaf de eerste pagina neemt Christopher ons mee in zijn gedachten en belevenissen. Na de heftige schok van Wellingtons dood zet hij alles op alles om uit te vinden wie de dader is. Tijdens deze zoektocht stuit hij abrupt op ontdekkingen die zijn leven compleet in de war schoppen. De verrassende wendingen en de spraakmakende karakters in het hartverwarmende verhaal zorgen voor veel gespreksstof.
Esta es una muestra de "El delfín". La versión completa tiene una duración total de 10 h 33 min. Encuentra este audiolibro completo en https://bit.ly/eldelfin_sampleNarrado por: Diego RousselonEn El delfín, Mark Haddon ha elaborado una recreación contemporánea de una de las tragedias menos conocidas de Shakespeare, Pericles, príncipe de Tiro, versión a su vez de la leyenda de Apolonio de Tiro. El relato clásico narra la huida del héroe, perseguido por el rey Antíoco, tras haber revelado la relación incestuosa del rey y su hija. Con una prosa elegante y descriptiva, Haddon traslada esta historia mitológica al presente para reflexionar sobre las relaciones paternofiliales y el papel de la mujer en la sociedad actual. Un libro fascinante, que nos sumerge en un mundo de leyendas y mitología, con historias que se abren dentro de otras historias, engarzadas por una maraña de referencias perfectamente tejidas por la pluma del autor.© 2022, Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, S.

"Art was, seriously, the only thing I'd ever wanted to own." So said David Bowie, who gathered a huge and distinguished collection, particularly of post-war British painting. As an exhibition of the work opens at Sotheby's, ahead of its sale next month, Beth Greenacre, who was Bowie's curator, walks John Wilson around the collection and discusses what it reveals about him. As part of the BBC's Love to Read campaign which celebrates the pleasures of reading, author Mark Haddon - best known for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time - confesses to a classic book he's never read, and reads it especially for Front Row. His choice of classic book: John Bunyan's 1678 Christian allegory, The Pilgrim's Progress. Enoch Powell's 1968 "Rivers of Blood" speech is at the heart of a new play that examines the shifting nature of identity.
