Joseph Roth and Stefan Zweig are two of the most celebrated Austrian writers of their time. Despite their contrasting lives and demeanors, they become fast friends and develop a brotherly bond. But when Hitler comes into power, tensions loom over their friendship. In the end, both men can't save each other from hopelessness in exile. After his death in Paris in 1939, a group of Joseph Roth's friends collected his meager belongings from his hotel room. His belongings eventually ended up with Roth's French translator. Among the papers were manuscripts, correspondence, and hundreds of photographs. These materials now form the basis of the Joseph Roth Collection in the LBI Archives. Learn more at www.lbi.org/roth.

The European Union (EU) is taking major strides to help combat climate change by instituting a ban on diesel cars, enforcing existing climate regulations among member states, and announcing the EU Green Deal initiative. Despite these efforts, the EU Commission still struggles to enforce any such policies among member states who fail to comply. We’re exploring several of the new climate policies being instituted and discussing how the EU is reacting to noncompliance. Joining us for this conversation is Dr. Michael Hofmann. Michael is an associate in the Antitrust and Competition Practice Group in Sheppard Mullin’s Brussels office. He focuses on all aspects of European and German competition law matters. Michael wrote his doctoral thesis in the area of energy competition law and holds a Master of Laws degree (LL.M.) in International Commercial Law from the University of Aberdeen (UK). He is fluent in English in addition to his native German. What We Discussed in This Episode: What is happening in the area of climate regulation enforcement in the EU? What is the basis for all of the litigation occurring at the EU level as it relates to climate regulation? What is the EU Air Quality Directive and what are its key elements? What is the process for EU litigation proceedings against member states for policy infringement? How many open cases are currently pending with the EU commission? Why were several EU member states unable to comply with the NO2 limitation requirements placed by the EU? How has the EU placed restrictions against diesel cars? What effect has the ban on diesel cars had on the Free State of Bavaria? How is the EU Commission indirectly addressing the NO2 threshold against diesel car manufacturers via competition laws? What is the European Union’s Green Deal and what are its objectives? Why is the EU thinking of introducing a carbon border tax and how might that affect U.S. multinationals doing business in the EU?

One Lark, One Horse is Michael Hofmann’s first new collection of poetry for almost two decades, and more than justifies the wait; Stephen Romer writes that Hofmann has given us ‘a handle on our own helplessness, our fecklessness and unease’, and George Szirtes more succinctly has described his writing as ‘a poetry of nerves’. He read from the new collection, and talked about it with Declan Ryan, whose pamphlet in the Faber New Poets series was published in 2014. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
This week's podcast starts with the biggest, most surprising news of recent memory--Bob Dylan winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. Then Chad and Tom talk about the National Book Foundation's study of translation, the unmasking of Elena Ferrante (and the backlash to that unmasking, and the backlash to the backlash), and an article by Michael Hofmann about the dangers of over-thinking translation. They conclude by wondering about what the 1980 American Book Award TV presentation must have been like. This week's music is "Rainy Day Woman #12 & #35" by your new Nobel laureate.

“It’s almost as though my poetry is an extended passport application… It’s an attempt to be naturalized. I think I’ve failed to be naturalized and therefore there is this German residue about things. It’s something I feel haunted by…” I’m delighted that the first poet to appear on Podularity is Michael Hofmann. I’ve known Michael for several years and greatly admire his work as a translator, but his poetry has been a comparatively recent – and very pleasurable – discovery for me. George Szirtes, reviewing Michael’s Selected Poems in the Guardian recently, said of his work: In the programme we talk about Michael’s relationship with the German and English languages and how he moves between the two; his relationship with his late father, the German novelist, Gert Hofmann, which forms the explicit or implicit subject matter of much of his poetry: ‘these two men meet up to divide the world between them and this is how it goes: my father gets prose in German and I get poetry in English, and we each go away …
