Artist and writer Dmitry Samarov joins Rick Kogan to talk about his design for the new edition of “Moby Dick” and the meaning behind the illustrations in the book.

«Quando descrivi la realtà, ti accusano di fare dell'umorismo nero» forse è racchiuso in queste parole di Charles Willeford - uno dei capostipiti del noir americano - il segreto del successo di una delle ibridazioni di genere più felici e curiose: quella tra commedia e poliziesco. Un'ibridazione apparentemente paradossale perché coniugare a storie cupe, misteriose, in cui si narrano crimini violenti, ironia ed umorismo può sembrare ostico, ma è invece ciò che rende quelle storie profondamente umane e reali, trasformandole da genere apprezzato soprattutto dagli adepti in romanzi in grado di affrontare temi universali.Ma come il comico si è introdotto nel noir? Da dove ha avuto origine il fenomeno e come si è diffuso? Quali sono i suoi risultati migliori? E quali, dopo i molti adattamenti in serie tv, le possibilità di evoluzione di un linguaggio che forse sta diventando un genere a sé stante? Ne parliamo con uno scrittore italiano capace di suspence e intrecci avvincenti ma anche di tanta ironia come Alessandro Robecchi (che dopo il ciclo su Carlo Monterossi ha appena pubblicato quello che potrebbe essere il primo di una nuova serie di romanzi noir), con Luca Conti traduttore dello stesso Willeford ma anche di altri autori noir di grande successo e infine con l'editore Carlo Amatetti grande studioso di comicità e linguaggio umoristico con cui nello scorcio finale di Moby Dick ci affacciamo guidati dalla spassosissima Only Murders in the Building nel mondo delle serie TV e dei podcast true crime.

The internet is a balkanization of the populace: Everybody finds those they want to listen to. It is exceedingly difficult to teach somebody whose principal input in his life is through the internet. With a flesh-and-blood pastor, you at least can see his sins, his wife, and his children. Generally, with a pastor, you can't escape his bad smells, but on the internet, everything and everyone is perfect.The most difficult thing you do in ministry is to call your own congregation to repentance. It is easy to talk about the sins of people outside the church, but exceedingly costly to do so to those within the church. Your job is on the line. A godly church will love you for that. But there are a lot of bad congregations—those congregations that like their ears tickled. We should love our pastors when they make us angry with their helpfulness.Yet, if pastors will preach to their congregations, their congregations will lead the world. It is not until we are challenged to submit to Scripture ourselves that we will be salt and light in the world. If there is going to be a Biblical church, the most important thing to do is to keep its discipline vivified. But we'd much rather spend our time fighting people who are opposed to Christianity. NETTR protects the "constituents," and casts stones at the world.***Mentioned in the episode...From Melville's Moby Dick, chapter 8, "The Pulpit": "What could be more full of meaning?- for the pulpit is ever this earth's foremost part; all the rest comes in its rear; the pulpit leads the world. From thence it is the storm of God's quick wrath is first descried, and the bow must bear the earliest brunt. From thence it is the God of breezes fair or foul is first invoked for favorable winds. Yes, the world's a ship on its passage out, and not a voyage complete; and the pulpit is its prow."Fundamentalism and American Culture by George MarsdenC.S. Lewis, from The Last Battle: "By mixing a little truth with it, they had made their lie far stronger."Robert Owen: "All the world is queer, save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer."***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

For several decades, Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was perhaps the most prominent writer and intellectual in America. As an advocate of personal freedom living in Massachusetts, surrounded by passionate abolitionists, one might expect that his positions regarding slavery would be obvious and uncomplicated. And yet, Emerson struggled with the issue - not whether it was wrong (he was opposed to it), but the extent to which it obliged him or others to take action, and if so, how best to act in a way consistent with his philosophical principles. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Kenneth Sacks (Emerson's Civil Wars: Spirit in Society in the Age of Abolition) about what Emerson's wavering between self-reliance and collective action can tell us about who he was as a thinker and person - and whether his journey has lessons for the rest of us. PLUS Victoria Namkung (An Immortal Book: Selected Writings by Sui Sin Far) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read. AND ALSO Jacke jumps into the belly of the clickbait whale, following the headline "We Had Sex Inside Moby-Dick!" to learn about Japan's love hotels and their connection(?) to the Herman Melville classic.

On this episode of Welcome to the Poddy, Clay McMath kicks things off with a courtside look at Greg Popovich's triumphant return to the San Antonio Spurs and what it means for the NBA's most stoic sideline legend. Then we dive headfirst into the science (and nonsense) of “attractive laughs” — who has them, who doesn't, and why it matters more than we'd like to admit.In the body of the show, Clay reviews Havoc (Netflix), the gritty, chaotic action flick starring Tom Hardy. Spoiler alert: it's got more broken ribs than plot points. Rating it a respectable 4/10 dirty cops, Clay takes inspiration from the film's mood and pitches a short film idea you didn't know you needed — Moby Dick, starring Tom Hardy as a cockney-accented NYPD homicide detective hunting a metaphorical whale through the five boroughs. High art? Maybe not. Entertaining? Absolutely.This episode blends movie reviews, sports updates, and unhinged film pitches into the perfect storm of comedy, chaos, and culture.

What have we lost when the expert aesthetic judgement of professors and literary critics is replaced by the marketplace and bestseller lists? How can someone be both a critic and a creator, and do those identities improve or detract from each other?Michael W. Clune is a professor at Case Western Reserve University and the author of several books, including the subject of this discussion, A Defense of Judgment, and the upcoming novel Pan.Greg and Michael discuss Michael's perspective on the necessity of judgment in the study of literature and the arts, contrasting it with the modern academic trend that moves away from making definitive evaluations. Michael draws parallels between literary criticism and economics, highlighting a shift towards egalitarianism and market-driven valuations at the expense of aesthetic judgment. Their conversation delves into the historical evolution of these ideas, the importance of close reading, and the role of literary education in transforming personal taste and understanding. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Michael finds it counterintuitive and strange that there is no public standard for distinguishing great art from mediocre art.05:18 To say that there's no public standard for judging some work's better than the other and to say that everyone should make their own judgements and professors and critics and museum curators shouldn't try to tell people what's good and what's not, that presents as like, oh, everyone gets to choose.There's no public standard. But in fact, what you actually see happening is that it's the replacement of one standard, the judgment of those educated in the arts by another standard, which is the marketplace. And so, bestseller lists basically replace the canon that's constantly changing and there's all of complex judgments, but that's basically the displacement. So in fact, it's not really an egalitarian move in the way that many of its proponents take it to be. It's actually a disavowal of the expertise of aesthetic educators and throwing everything to the kinds of orderings produced by the marketplace.Everyone can make artistic judgments.03:01 There's no coherent way to do literary study or to teach art history without making judgments all the time. That's just the nature of it.The practice of teaching literature requires tacit skills. 20:01 When it comes down to the brass tacks of pedagogy of teaching, and this is a famous thing about literary study, let's say Moby Dick, you could imagine a version of the class where I just talk about Moby Dick and no one reads it, and I describe how great it is and how wonderful it is, and how it's surprising and strange and so forth. You could do that in chemistry. You could do something like that in economics or in physics, but in literature, the student has to encounter it for him or herself, right? It's like nothing is happening unless they're encountering for themselves, unless they have the experience in which something magical is disclosed to them. And so, the actual practice of teaching literature involves what the chemist and philosopher of science Michael Polanyi, described as tacit skills, which is really simply a kind of knowing how, without being able to say exactly what you're doing.Aesthetic education is a vital human need and universities are failing to provide it44:01 The desire for aesthetic education, the desire to have one's taste, be guided to know what books one should look at, how one should read those books, how one should spend one's precious time. That desire is totally out there and is very strong and is not being met by literature departments in the way that I think they should. I think it's a tragedy and a big mistake that literature in our departments are no longer fulfilling that vital human need. Show Links:Recommended Resources:Democracy in AmericaLéon WalrasCarl MengerWilliam Stanley JevonsMichael PolanyiIn Praise of Commercial CultureCultural Capital: The Problem of Literary Canon FormationDavid HumeImmanuel KantJohn KeatsGwendolyn BrooksMoby-DickH.

"The struggle is the cost of admission. It is the price of doing business." - Stephen MarcheStephen Marche: On Writing, Failure, and the Enduring Struggle of the Creative Life

Boston was always a big Led Zeppelin town, starting back at the very beginning with the marathon Tea Party gigs, through this show right here. July 20, 1973 is the last time Zeppelin played Boston. The crowd is wild at this gig, so much so that the band eliminate Misty Mountain Hop, Since I've Been Loving You, and Moby Dick from the setlist. All to keep the crowd from going Chernobyl. No encores either. I play Celebration Day, a smokin' Stairway, and a brilliant No Quarter that presages the brilliance about to be recorded in NYC a week later.

Jennifer Khakshouri, Adriana Altaras, Philipp Tingler und als Gast Psychotherapeutin Felizitas Ambauen diskutieren über «Bartleby, der Schreiber» von Herman Melville, «Dream Count» von Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, «Das Lieben danach» von Helene Bracht sowie über «See der Schöpfung» von Rachel Kushner. «I would prefer not to» oder «Ich möchte lieber nicht»: Mit diesem Satz hat sich ein Büroangestellter namens Bartleby in der Literaturgeschichte verewigt. Mit seiner Neinsager-Geschichte «Bartleby, der Schreiber» hat der englische Romancier Herman Melville neben «Moby Dick» einen zweiten Klassiker erschaffen. Angesichts der heutigen Suche nach Work-Life-Balance und Resilienz scheint dieser höchst aktuell. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ist ein Weltstar der Literatur. Ihr Roman «Americanah» über eine Frau, die in mehreren Kulturen gleichzeitig lebt, war ein internationaler Erfolg. Nun ist ihr lang erwarteter zweiter Roman «Dream Count» erschienen. Aus der Perspektive von vier Frauen um die 40 schreibt sie über Freundschaft, Selbstbestimmung und Afrika-Klischees. Mit 70 Jahren hat die Psychologin Helene Bracht ihr literarisches Debüt veröffentlicht. Fast ein ganzes Leben hat sie gebraucht, um sich dem Trauma ihrer Kindheit anzunähern: Im Memoir «Das Lieben danach» erzählt sie, wie sie von ihrem Nachhilfelehrer sexuell missbraucht wurde. Helene Bracht beschreibt offen und ungeschönt, welche Spuren dies in ihrem Liebesleben und ihrer Körperlichkeit hinterlassen hat. Die US-amerikanische Autorin Rachel Kushner hat mit «See der Schöpfung» einen Spionageroman mit philosophischem Tiefgang geschrieben. Eine Agentin hat den Auftrag, sich in eine Gemeinschaft von radikalen Umweltaktivisten einzuschleusen. Packend und intellektuell herausfordernd umkreist sie relevante Themen wie den Kampf um Wasserressourcen und Kapitalismuskritik. Die Bücher der Sendung sind: – Herman Melville: «Bartleby, der Schreiber» (Kampa); – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: «Dream Count» (S. Fischer); – Helene Bracht: «Das Lieben danach» (Hanser); und – Rachel Kushner: «See der Schöpfung» (Rowohlt). Gast der Sendung ist die Psychotherapeutin und Podcasterin Felizitas Ambauen.

Find your Spy Superpower: https://yt.everydayspy.com/4j4CPAZ I just finished reading Moby Dick, by Herman Melville, and I'm shocked by how much the ending of this book moved me. SPOILER ALERT: I share the ending of Moby Dick in detail as I deliver my analysis of the lessons, insights, and relevancy shared in the final chapters. In many ways, finishing this book is the completion of a 30-year journey for me, and I'm overwhelmed with humility and gratitude as I share these thoughts on a book that for so long has been impacting the world.

In this conversation, we dive into the extraordinary creative partnership between two of the most celebrated figures in contemporary opera—librettist Gene Scheer and composer Jake Heggie. Together, Gene and Jake have brought to life some of the most powerful operatic works of our time, including Moby-Dick, Three Decembers, and It's a Wonderful Life. Their collaboration is not only rooted in artistic brilliance but also in a deep, long-standing friendship.Individually, their accomplishments are equally impressive. Gene Scheer has worked with a range of renowned composers, including Jennifer Higdon on Cold Mountain and Tobias Picker on An American Tragedy. He's also an accomplished composer in his own right—his song American Anthem was featured in Ken Burns' Emmy Award-winning documentary on World War II.Jake Heggie's groundbreaking first opera, Dead Man Walking, with a libretto by Terrence McNally, launched him into the spotlight. Since then, his work in art song and opera has made a lasting impact, earning him the title of Musical America's 2025 Composer of the Year. So who better to explore the dynamic between a librettist and a composer? In this two-part conversation, we unpack what makes a successful collaboration and how words and music come together to create something truly unforgettable.Part One's conversation took place during a particularly exciting time—Moby-Dick was being performed at the Metropolitan Opera. Throughout our discussion, the opera serves as a touchstone for understanding the creative process. We begin with a fundamental question: how do they do it? Specifically, how do hard work and patience shape their creative journey?We get into the nuts and bolts of collaboration—how they challenge and inspire each other to reach new heights. Gene shares insights into the stages of researching and writing a libretto, including the story of how saving $100 unexpectedly launched his career. And in his own words, Gene describes his role simply and powerfully: “My job is to write a libretto that inspires music.”[Subscriber Content]: In Part Two, we step back and learn more about Gene's early experiences—his time studying and singing in Vienna (including the month he saw 27 operas!). Jake opens up about the legendary Stephen Sondheim, a mentor and inspiration, and how Sweeney Todd changed his life. In fact, Jake dedicated Moby-Dick to Sondheim.Would you like more inspirational stories, suggestions, insights, and a place to continue the conversations with other listeners?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHAlex is reluctant to go to her sister's baby shower. She knows her family will just bombard her with the usual questions—why she isn't married to her boyfriend, Finn, yet, and why he's only working at a record store.Meanwhile, Finn heads up to her room, strips down, and starts dancing to "Buttons," expecting Alex to walk in soon. But instead of Alex, her sister's kids walk in. Awkwardness ensues.At the end of the night, Alex talks to her mom, with whom she has a great relationship. She even works for her mom's company. But then her mom drops a bombshell—she's dying.Cut to some time later: Alex is lying in bed alone. Her mom has passed.She heads to the lawyer's office for the reading of the will. Expecting to see Old Man Sullivan, she's surprised when a young lawyer named Brad walks in instead. And Brad only brings bad news. First, Alex and her family must keep the house for at least a year and can't sell anything inside it—not that she minds. But she's shocked to learn that her mom made her sister-in-law the new CEO of the business. As for Alex, she won't receive her inheritance right away. Instead, Brad hands her an envelope with instructions to open it when she's alone.Back home, she puts in the DVD from the envelope. Her mom appears on the screen, explaining that she wants Alex to live her best life, starting with completing her old "Life List." Every time she checks something off, she'll receive another DVD from her mom. And when she finishes the list, she'll get a final envelope. What's inside? Who can say.Determined to start fresh, Alex breaks up with Finn. She begins tackling the list—reading Moby-Dick, learning the piano—but it's harder than she expected. So, she pivots, tries stand-up comedy, and earns her first DVD.Meanwhile, Brad keeps showing up, being unexpectedly nice to her.She's starting to enjoy herself overall, but then she reconnects with her dad—only to learn he's not actually her biological father. Her mom had an affair with a man named Johnny Alvarez. He is her real father.She starts working at a school and meets a guy named Garrett. They start dating, and things are going great—until she throws a dinner party with her friends, and Garrett hates them. That's… unfortunate.After a long search, she finally tracks down Johnny. She takes a road trip with Brad and his girlfriend, Nina, to meet him. But Nina starts sensing something between Brad and Alex—and she's right. Nina eventually heads home, and Alex and Brad end up sleeping together.The next morning, Alex meets Johnny, and they agree to get breakfast the following day. But he never shows up.On the way home, she and Brad get into a huge fight. He tells her she should break up with Garrett because "that guy sucks." She does. Then, in frustration, she tears up her list—after all, the only thing left is to "find true love."But then Old Man Sullivan gives her the final DVD and envelope anyway, and it's all very sweet.Finally, she realizes—she does love Brad. She goes to find him. They kiss.

Az egyik kedvenc idei olvasmányélményünk lett Selyem Zsuzsa Kicsi kozmosz címmel frissen megjelent regénye. A több szálon futó, Erdélyben és Budapesten is játszódó, a rendszerváltás előtti időszakot és napjainkat is bemutató, emberi és nem emberi szereplőket felvonultató regényben diktatúrák természetéről, felnőtt- és gyereksorsokról, viccekről és traumákról is szó esik. Selyem Zsuzsával ezeken túl még decentralizált regényekről, algoritmusokról, rókaszukákról és lehallgatásokról is beszélgettünk a Nem rossz könyvek legújabb részében. A tartalomból 00:00 Pár új könyv, amit említünk, bár még nem is olvastuk őket: Csordás Kata - A tékozlás öröme, Tandori Dezső - Barátaim, találkozunk a fűben, Karl Ove Knausgård - A harmadik birodalom és Kirsten Thorup - Őrülten és halálosan. 02:40 Vendégünk Selyem Zsuzsa, témánk az áprilisban megjelent regénye, a Kicsi kozmosz. És indításként a nem centralizált gondolkodás fontossága, az állati nézőpontok szerepe, a Moby Dick erényei, és hogy az egyik legjobb dolog a művészetben az, hogy azt is észrevehetjük, ami amúgy nem ismerős. 09:30 Min múlik, hogy melyik szereplőből mennyit látunk, és a bizalom az olvasóban: „át kell vágnod magad a bozóton.” 13:45 Irodalmat írni irodalomtörténészként. És pár fontos szerző, akik sokszor név szerint is visszaköszönnek a regény lapjain: David Foster Wallace, Robert Musil, Nádas Péter vagy Bruno Schulz. És ehhez jön még a matematika. 15.20 Élet a diktatúrában és az igazság lehetősége, például a matematikában. Lehallgatások, megfigyelések, a bizalom szétrágása és az emberek a kiszolgáltatottságban. 27:30 Kedvenc vicc és a viccek szerepe a regényben: egy jó vicc felér egy jó könyvvel. 29:30 Mit jelent gyereknek lenni? Ez a könyv a gyerekek szenvedéséről szól, és ha nem lennének gyerekek, nem lenne ki előtt szégyellnünk magunkat. És a kérdés: egyáltalán hogyan tudunk ebben a világban szembenézni a gyerekekkel? És ehhez jönnek még az algoritmusok. 34:40 Élet és halál kérdése, az anyaságban is. Ki válhat anyává? És a személyes történetek hogyan válnak társadalmivá? „Az egyik munkám az volt most, hogy a transzgenerációs traumákat transzgenerációs empátiává próbáljam meg változtatni.” 46:00 Rókaszuka alakja és a regény művészképe, az írók és költők fetisizálása ellen. 50:00 Három könyv Selyem Zsuzsa ajánlásában: Arundhati Roy - A Felhőtlen Boldogság Minisztériuma, Juan Carlos Galeano -Amazonia és Virginia Woolf - Gondolatok a békéről légiriadó idején, amit az izraeli katonai szolgálatot megtagadó 18 éves transz fiatal, Ella Keidar Greenberg vitt magával a börtönbe.

After attending the final evening of the Metropolitan Opera's performance of  Moby-Dick; or, The Whale, in this  episode I share a passionate introduction and my fandom and I read one of my favorite segment from Chapter 15, titled "Chowder."  This hilariously funny and vivid passage describes Ishmael and Queequeg's encounter with Mrs. Hussey at the Try Pots Inn on Nantucket after their frosty voyage from New Bedford where they enjoy both a delectable clam and cod chowder before negotiating sleeping arrangements minus Queequeg's harpoon.I was so inspired to share this reading and then direct you to check out my YouTube channel for my specialD, "Ocean State of Mind Clam Chowder" recipe that I hope you'll make at home!  Zero or minimal food packaging waste, nutritious, organic and economical.https://youtu.be/DW7Dezumy5Y?si=gkg9zUMut2rwPaLj MINDFUL MEALS & SUSTAINABLE LIVING - The Art of Living an Elevated Lifestyle

HI Dear Friends, It's like I'm on a Nantucket Sleigh Ride since seeing the last evening performance of the Met Opera's performance of Moby Dick.  Visually it is astounding. The thrill of going to Lincoln Center and hearing some recognizable scenarios I was reminded of the fond memories I have of reading from Moby Dick aloud during the pandemic.  I've recorded again a few paragraphs of the Chowder chapter I just love and the thought to share my youtube link for one of my Signature dishes, Ocean State of Mind Clam Chowder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW7Dezumy5Y&t=12s COOK MORE, SPEND LESS, YOU'LL FEEL BETTER

El premio Alfaguara 2025 ya está registrado en la Biblioteca de Hoy por Hoy. Guillermo Saccomanno nos ha visitado para presentarnos  su novela galardonada 'Arderá el viento' que nos lleva a una decadente villa turística de la costa argentina en la que violencia se manifiesta con todos sus apelidos: social, política o familiar.  Es una historia donde sexo, poder y dinero conforman la ecuación perfecta de la degradación. El autor argentino, además de donarnos un ejemplo de su libro, nos ha donado otros dos libros que le han marcado en su vida: 'Los hermanos Karamazov' de Fiodor Dostoievski (Alianza) y  'Moby Dick' de Herman Melville (Anaya).  Antonio Martínez Asensio, nuestro bibliotecario, nos ha traído tres libros hoy. Por actualidad y por el día internacional de la poesía, dos poemarios:  'La comedia de la carne' de Carlos Pardo (La Bella Varsovia) y 'La lentitud de los bueyes' de Julio Llamazares – Ilustrado por Leticia Ruifernández - Editorial Nórdica. Y como siempre, nos deja el volumen de su programa 'un libro una hora' que hoy fue 'Viento del norte' de  Elena Quiroga (Bamba Editorial) . De todas las novedades de la semana nos quedamos con dos que nos trajo el empleado de la biblioteca Pepe Rubio: 'El vuelo del hombre' de Benjamín G. ROSADO , premio Biblioteca Breve 2025 editado por Seix Barral, y 'El hielo de los suyos' de Montse Sánchez Alonso (Tránsito).  Tampoco ha faltado a la cita de la Biblioteca el rescatador de libros abandonados Pascual Donate que esta semana salvó del reciclaje a 'Solteronas: historias de un estigma'  de Manuel Jiménez Núñez  (Espasa). Por último las donaciones de los oyentes que fueron: 'Carcoma' Layla Martínez (Amor de madre), 'El señor de las moscas' de William Golding (Alianza) y 'El corazón helado' de Almudena Grandes (Tusquets)

“Wild, luxurious, and absurd.”   Chatter rolls into March madness with David, Jamie, and Torie.  All eyes on David's beloved American Eagles, but Jamie's Gators look good.  Torie's beloved CAPs are on a roll, and Ovi's on the march to break Gretzky's record.  The show gets back to books (sort of) with a review of reviews of the Moby Dick opera.  Best selling author and former librarian Kristen Arnett zooms in to share “Stop Me If You've Heard This One.”  As the Washington Post put it, it's all kinds of funny.  Ostensibly about a retail employee turned clown, it's a truly original way to look at art and creativity.

Welcome to Issue 261 of Critical Encounters, a podcast about Marvel Champions, a Living Card Game by Fantasy Flight Games. Here we take a good look at that most critical piece of the game, the Encounter Sets. We'll discuss those poorly understood characters, unfairly labeled Villains, and their various plans to shape humanity and benefit the planet, as well as those so-called heroes intent on thwarting them. In this villain issue we look at Unus Part II, the first scenario of the AoO box.

Over unsounded gorges, through the rifled hearts of mountains, under torrents' beds, unerringly I rush!" - Captain Ahab, Moby Dick  

Finally, the all-caps title is correct! During the 2023 Wizzly awards we all said we were going to read Moby Dick by the time the next Wizzlies rolled around, and most of us did. It turns out it's really good. Like, I'd call it the great American novel, at least for the days before women were invented. Has anybody else heard about this?

In this episode, we're joined by novelist and filmmaker Xiaolu Guo to discuss her latest novel, Call Me Ishmaelle. A bold reimagining of Moby-Dick, Guo's novel audaciously swaps the gender of Melville's narrator and plunges into a world of hidden identities, maritime adventure, and cultural collision.With host Adam Biles, Guo reflects on her personal and literary journey—from her early, abandoned encounters with Moby-Dick in Chinese to her deep dive into American whaling history and the Civil War. She shares insights on writing in a second language, the challenge of adapting a literary classic, and the influence of Taoism and Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle on her storytelling.Buy Call Me Ishmaelle: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/call-me-ishmaelle-2*Xiaolu Guo was born in China. She published six books before moving to Britain in 2002. Her books include: Village of Stone, shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize; A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers, shortlisted for the Orange Prize; and I Am China.

Philip Dusenberry once said, “I have always believed that writing advertisements is the second most profitable form of writing. The first, of course, is ransom notes.”I can testify that Dusenberry is correct. The best ad writers make more money than the most highly paid lawyers and heart surgeons.Great advertising makes an enormous difference in the top line revenue of a company. A reputation for being able to write great ads makes an enormous difference in your bank account. But only if you get paid according to the growth of the businesses you write for.Did you notice that I ended that sentence with a preposition? A pedantic will tell you that I should have said, “But only if you get paid according to the growth of the businesses for whom you write ads.” But I chose not to do that. If you can tell me why, you might have the makings of an ad writer.Do you have a friend who reads the books of the world's most famous authors?If you say, “Call me Ishmael,” and your friend says, “Moby Dick,” your friend has the ingredients to bake a wordcake.Say to your friend, “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood.”If your friend says, “Robert Frost,” he or she has the ability to lead people to places they have never been.Say, “The price of self-destiny is never cheap, and in certain situations it is unthinkable. But to achieve the marvelous, it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.”If your friend looks at you and says, “Tom Robbins died last month,” they definitely have the makings of ad writer.“As you read, so will you write.”If the cadence and rhythm and unpredictable phrases singular to poets, screenwriters and novelists are echoing in your brain, your mind will spew rainbows of words like ocean water from the blowhole of a whale.Luke records Jesus as having said, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” If you want to know what is inside a person, listen to what they say and read what they write.The minds of great writers are filled with the music of other great writers. Music cannot flow from your fingertips if it does not live in your mind.I don't mean to be unkind, but most writers have no music in their mind.Tom Robbins told NPR in 2014, “I would tell stories aloud to himself, but always out in the yard with a stick in my hand. I would beat the ground as I told the story. And we moved fairly frequently. We would leave houses behind where one section of the yard was completely bare from where I had destroyed the grass. But I realized much later in life that what I was doing was drumming. I was building a rhythm. Even today as a writer I pay a lot of attention to the rhythm in my work.”When Tom Robbins died, hypnotic passages from his bestselling novels were quoted by NPR and The New York Times in their eulogies of his life.Character dialogue written by Aaron Sorkin is the standard by which all screenwriting is judged. Aaron says, “It's not just that dialogue sounds like music to me. It actually is music. Anytime someone is speaking for the purpose of performance, whether they're doing it from a pulpit in a church, whether it's a candidate on the stump or an actor on a stage, anytime they're speaking for the purposes of performance, all the rules of music apply.”The workload of my 81 Wizard of Ads partners will soon be at maximum capacity.I am looking for brilliant ad writers. Between now and the end of the year I will onboard a small group of writers who are worth a lot more money than they are currently being paid. They will attend the partner meeting this autumn.Selection, orientation, and enculturation requires diligence and patience on both sides.Our journey will begin when you send exactly 12

'Pipas' de Esther L. Calderón (Pepitas de Calabaza) es la novela de una generación , la de los nacidos en los 80 y que comían pipas en los noventa en los bancos de barrios o ciudades periféricas. Los protagonistas forman parte de aquellos niños y adolescentes que cargaron con los sueños de futuro  y progreso de sus padres y sus abuelos.  Es una novela 'Pipas' , sin pretenderlo, con un ensayo sociológico dentro, pero también con unos personajes y unas tramas con las que muchos nos podemos identificar. Es brutal. Esther Calderón, además de dejarnos 'Pipas'  ha donado  '¿Por qué ser feliz cuando puedes ser normal? ' de Jeannette Winterson (Lumen) y 'Las cosas que llevaban los hombres que lucharon' de Tim O´Brien (Anagrama). Antes nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio registró dos libros relacionados con la actualidad  sus lecturas semanales: 'El orden del día' de Eric Vuillard (Tusquets) y 'Secreto y pasión de la literatura" de Juan Cruz (Tusquets). En el capítulos de novedades Pepe Rubio  trajo dos libros más:  'El caso de las cabezas cortadas' de Gonzalo Suárez (Nórdica) y  'El mundo horizontal' de Bruno Remaury (Periférica). Pascual Donate volvió al rescate de libros con  'Prehistoria de mujeres ' de Marga Sánchez Romero (Destino). De 'Un libro una hora', el programa de Antonio Martínez Asensio,  nos quedamos esta semana con 'Memorias de Leticia Valle' de Rosa Chacel.(Herce) . Por último tuvimos las donaciones de los oyentes: 'Theodoros'  de Mircea Cartarescu  (Impedimenta) , 'El secreto de Gabriela  Salazar ' de César Mallorquí (Esfera de los Libros) y 'Moby Dick' de Herman Melville (Alianza)

Tired of your land-locked hum-drum life? Well, in the style of the great American novel Moby Dick itself, why not look to the sea, and join us a voyage? Join Ishmaivy and ashmael on a voyage of science and art, as we plunge into the depths of cetelogical study, gazing upon depictions of the great leviathanic beast with a scrutinizing eye, swimming through plate-etched waves of Mephistophelean grins and Pagliaccigan noses, past Larsonian sharks and Antedalivian surrialisms, to arrive at that most pressing question, that no great podcast has sought to answer and so we must give our poor attempt: What is a fish?

Of all contemporary Cape Verdeans, Cesaria Evora, "the Queen of the Morna" made the biggest impression internationally. However the first Cape Verdean to grace the American imagination was the harpooner Dagoo in Herman Melville's Moby Dick (1851). Cape Verdeans first arrived in United States as whalers in the late 1700's and have been coming ever since, bringing a distinctive Portuguese-African Kriolu flavor to communities across Southern New England and beyond. We'll take a step back in time and look at the rich cultural life of Cape Verdean neighborhoods, where great bands played mornas and coladeiras at local social clubs. Our principle guide for this program will be historian Marilyn Halter, author of “Between Race and Ethnicity: Cape Verdean American Immigrants, 1860-1965.” She'll take us through the years as the Cape Verdean community navigated the turbulent waters of opportunity and identity in America long before the age of American multiculturalism. Then we'll jump ahead and explore current trends from the far-flung Diaspora's thriving music scene, ranging from hip-busting funaná to sleek cabo-zouk. All along, we'll be hearing from Cape Verdean-American musicians, from old-time guitar master Freddy Silva to rapper Mo Green, as they reflect on immigration, nostalgia, heritage, and what it means to be Cape Verdean in the United States.

Jamás imaginamos hacer radio -ni teatro- desde un velero de tres palos del siglo XIX. Con Sergio del Molino nos subimos a bordo del Pequod, rumbo al Ártico, para entrevistar al gran Herman Melville, novelista y autor de Moby Dick, entre otros relatos.

Actress Natalie Moon is fully bidialectal, meaning she's equally proficient in using two or more dialects of the same language. In fact, she's so proficient at being bidialectal that she's an in-demand accent coach, and has coached big bold names like Jon Voight and Kristin Chenoweth. She also produced How To Make it in Hollywood (When You're Foreign AF), Alessandro Miro's hilarious web series that skewered stereotypes around accents in the film biz. In addition to her work in the accent realm, Natalie is also a talented actor who has performed in an array of fan favourite productions, including The Flash, Motherland: Fort Salem, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Death Note, and a recent episode of Superman & Lois in which she portrayed Lex Luthor's ex-wife, Erica Alexandra del Portenza Luthor. In this fascinating conversation, Natalie talks about what it takes to be bidialectal, the creative ways she builds backgrounds for her characters, that time Sir Patrick Stewart read Moby Dick to her class at the Oxford School of Drama, and how she prepared to play Erica, Lex Luthor's ex-wife, on Superman & Lois (also: Sabrina shares her unpopular opinion on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine).Episode sponsor: UBCP/ACTRA

What happens when a woman becomes obsessed with Herman Melville during the pandemic? What if the process of sorting fact from fiction in Melville's work inspires a midlife reckoning with her own marriage and ambition? And what if she (a poet) and her husband (a novelist, by the way) write a book about all of it? Well, the result would be something like Dayswork: A Novel, which has been called "a supremely literate achievement that wears its erudition lightly." In this episode, Jacke talks to the poet and her novelist husband, Jennifer Habel and Chris Bachelder, about what Melville means to them. PLUS Alexander Boots (The Strangers' House: Writing Northern Ireland) discusses his choice for the last book he will ever read.

Today, half of the world’s population lives around the Pacific Rim. This ocean has been the crossroads of international travel, trade, and commerce for at least 500 years. The economy was driven by workers in rickety sailing boats like in Moby Dick. The risk of starvation, dehydration, shipwreck, sinking, and death began as soon as you stepped out into open water. Today, we’re going to zero in on one of those stories. On December 10, 1887, a shark fishing boat disappeared. On board the doomed vessel were the Walkers—the ship’s captain Frederick, his wife Elizabeth, their three teenage sons, and their dog—along with the ship’s crew. The family had spotted a promising fishing location when a terrible storm arose, splitting their vessel in two. The Walker family was shipwrecked on a deserted island in the South Pacific. The survivors soon discovered that their island refuge was already inhabited by a ragged and emaciated man who introduced himself as Hans. This fellow castaway quickly educated the Walkers and their crew on the island’s resources. But Hans had a secret, and as the Walkers slowly came to learn more, the luck of having this mysterious stranger’s assistance would become something more ominous. To look at this story and the wider world of Pacific maritime life – and death – we are joined by today’s guest, Matthew Pearl, author of “Save our Souls: The True Story of a Castaway Family, Treachery, and Murder.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
