Podcasts about Motherless Brooklyn

Novelist Jonathan Lethem is the author of Girl In Landscape, Chronic City, and Brooklyn Crime Novel, as well as ten other novels. His stories and essays have been collected in seven volumes. His fifth novel, Motherless Brooklyn, won the National Book Critic's Circle Award, and he has been the recipient of The Berlin Prize and a Macarthur Fellowship among other honors. He lives in Los Angeles and Maine.He and Zuckerman discuss writing stories about Art, growing up as a child of a painter, where freedom is found, mirroring the world, doing his tricks, looking, kinship and generation, waiting and wondering, play, denial of independence, and memory and savoring!

The celebrated period drama "Belle" marked the arrival of Gugu Mbatha-Raw and since then she hasn't stopped impressing audiences in films like “Motherless Brooklyn," “Misbehaviour” and series like “Doctor Who,” “Black Mirror” (San Junipero episode), “Loki," “The Morning Show,” and “Surface,” which is now releasing episodes from its second season. On that Apple TV+ series, Gugu plays Sophie, a woman who has lost her recent memories and must piece them together. She talks about the “liberating” feeling she got playing someone with a missing back story and how it forced her to be present. She explains how she utilizes her sense of smell in her preparation process, how she learned to claim her space on set and not be “crushed by the technicalities,” how taking on the leadership role of EP expanded all aspects of her work, plus much more. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from  Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.  Follow Back To One on Instagram

As a novelist, Jonathan Lethem is basically a genre all his own. His books mash up literary fiction and pulp into disorienting but engaging combinations, for which he's won both a MacArthur Grant and the National Book Award. Since the success of Motherless Brooklyn in 1999, he's published many very well received novels—including The Fortress of Solitude in 2003 and Brooklyn Crime Novel, from last year—as well as many more short stories and essays for places including the New Yorker, Harper's and Rolling Stone. And it turns out he's written a lot about art too—enough in fact, to fill an entire volume. Cellophane Bricks: A Life in Visual Culture, published this summer by ZE Books, is its own type of unexpected hybrid of writing. It spans genres, containing short stories, essays, and criticism, as well as types of art, its essays hopping between his reverence for a Hans Holbein at the Frick and respect for the “scratchiti” artist Pray. Part of the joy of the book is Lethem's determinedly eclectic and personal taste, giving his attention to both names you know and obscure children's book authors or indie comics artists. Among other things, Cellophane Bricks offers Lethem's personal recollections of growing up around artists, including his father, painter Richard Lethem, in the grassroots alternative art world rooted in the collective spaces of a pre-gentrified Brooklyn. He also writes of the ethos of the graffiti-art world around his brother, Blake "KEO" Lethem. Aside from a spirit of unconventionality, the biographical material may seem to come from another world from the delirious and sometimes fantastic short fictions in the volume, mostly written for artist catalogues for the likes of Nan Goldin, Jim Shaw, and Fred Tomaselli and gathered here for the first time. However, these also embody an ethos that clearly relates to the communal creative scenes of his youth: Lethem insists on only offering short stories as catalogue contributions, paying with his art, while accepting only artworks in return as payment. There's more still to Cellophane Bricks: essays on what it means to live with art, and varied reflections on what art and literature, word and image, bring to each other. Introducing Lethem at an event recently at the Brooklyn Public Library, the art critic Dan Fox said that, as a novelist, Lethem had left the same kind of indelible mark on how people see Brooklyn that Warhol had on Manhattan. With Cellophane Bricks, he is leaving his imprint on the art world. A footnote for the future: The book is nicely illustrated with pictures of the eclectic work it describes, and next year, the art from Cellophane Bricks the basis for a show that will be at the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College in Southern California. “Jonathan Lethem's Parallel Play: Contemporary Art and Art Writing” is described as “a chronicle of an author who roams among visual artists,” and ill feature art by Gregory Crewdson, Rosalyn Drexler, Charles Long, and others. Look out for it.

Perhaps best known for his novels Motherless Brooklyn (1999), The Fortress of Solitude (2003), and Chronic City (2009)—or, more recently, Brooklyn Crime Novel (2023)—the author, essayist, and cultural critic Jonathan Lethem could be considered the ultimate modern-day Brooklyn bard, even if today he lives in California, where he's a professor of English and creative writing at Pomona College. His most celebrated books take place in Brooklyn, or in the case of Chronic City, on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and across his genre-spanning works of fiction, his narratives capture a profound sense of the rich chaos and wonder to be found in an urban existence. Lethem is also the author of several essay collections, including the newly published Cellophane Bricks: A Life in Visual Culture (ZE Books), which compiles much of his art writing from over the years written in response to—and often in exchange for—artworks by friends, including Gregory Crewdson, Nan Goldin, and Raymond Pettibon.On the episode, Lethem discusses his passion for book dedications; the time he spent with James Brown and Bob Dylan, respectively, when profiling them for Rolling Stone in the mid-aughts; how his work is, in part, a way of dealing with and healing from his mother's death in 1978, at age 36; and why he views his writing as “fundamentally commemorative.”Special thanks to our Season 10 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Jonathan Lethem[5:35] Cellophane Bricks[5:35] High School of Music and Art[5:35] Motherless Brooklyn[5:35] The Fortress of Solitude[5:35] The Disappointment Artist[5:35] Maureen Linker[7:15] Carmen Fariña[8:26] Julia Jacquette[8:26] Rosalyn Drexler[9:08] The Great Gatsby[9:08] Brooklyn Crime Novel[10:59] Lynn Nottage[13:08] Bennington College[13:08] Bret Easton Ellis[13:08] Donna Tartt[23:41] The Collapsing Frontier[23:41] Italo Calvino[23:41] Cold War[23:41] Red Scare[23:41] J.

Jonathan Lethem is one of the smartest, riskiest, and most experimental writers working in crime fiction today. He writes about crime not only like a fiction writer with all that propulsive page turning thrill, but also like a sociologist, a psychologist, a historian and a philosopher. That might never have been truer of his work than his latest, Brooklyn Crime Novel, which came out last year and is recently out in paperback. It's as much a book about gentrification, integration, race, class, economics, and all the things that come with coming-of-age stories like sex and drugs and skateboards and basketballs, as it is about what's really a character in the book …. crime. Jonathan writes about Brooklyn the way Tim O'Brien writes about Vietnam, with a kind of intimacy and respect and resentment and ambivalence for the way the place shaped who he became. He joins Marrie Stone to talk about the novel. He talks about writing a novel in fragments, how to access and harness memory in fiction, living inside and outside a space to write about it, and tackling experimental points of view. Jonathan is the author of 13 novels, including his 1999 blockbuster Motherless Brooklyn, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award and was made into a film by the same name in 2019 by Ed Norton. Fortress of Solitude, published in 2003, also delved into the streets of Brooklyn and race and gentrification. In addition, Jonathan has authored 4 story collections, 10 other essay collections and other books. For more information on Writers on Writing and extra writing perks, visit our Patreon page.

Edward Norton Delivers!

On today's 14th Anniversary episode, I talk to MacArthur Genius Grant-winning author Jonathan Lethem. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Jonathan at first thought he was going to be a visual artist until some existential realizations about class and art in college in the early 1980s left him disillusioned. He dropped out, hitchhiked to California and started writing while he worked as a clerk in used bookstores. In 1994, Harcourt Brace published his first novel Gun, with Occasional Music, and since then he's written a dozen more - just a sampling: Motherless Brooklyn, The Fortress of Solitude, Chronic City, The Feral Detective - as well as a number of short story collections, and this is just scratching the surface. Currently Jonathan is the Roy Edward Disney Professor of Creative Writing and Professor of English at Pomona College, and his most recent book, Brooklyn Crime Novel, was published last October by HarperCollins, and like everything else Jonathan writes, it is great!

Jonathan Lethem, the bestselling author of twelve novels, including “The Fortress of Solitude” and “Motherless Brooklyn,” has often focused his books on the Brooklyn neighborhood he grew up in. His newest, “Brooklyn Crime Novel,” makes the neighborhood a main character. The book examines gentrification, nostalgia and race, among other topics. Lethem spoke to Dave Miller in front of an audience at the 2023 Portland Book Festival.

*Please forgive the audio. I am still out of practice when it comes to doing in person episodes. But I really do hope you barrel through the episode because I really loved connecting and talking with my sister about a movie she loves. Which is rare. If you cannot stand the audio there are more episodes with audio not as bad please give them a listen if you have not yet. Have a Happy New Year* The story of noir has become a time honored tradition in cinema known for its tales of grittiness and begrudging tough as nails male protagonists. This month's film brilliantly takes this movie motif and makes it its own by creating a very human story of injustice, still having a detective but with problems different than those in other movies of the genre, and telling a story of a more deeper love that involves a different type of femme fatal and most importantly there is jazz.

You know Olli Haaskivi from his work in series such as “Winning Time”, “Manifest”, and “The Sinner,” and films like “Motherless Brooklyn”, “Nancy” and of course, this Summer's blockbuster “Oppenheimer,” where he played scientist Edward Condon. On this episode he shares his experience of working with Christopher Nolan on that film (which he says seemed less sprawling than some student films he's worked on!), why he felt the freedom to bring his ideas and “all of himself” (spoiler: Nolan is not afraid of actors!), and how all this affected the work in the moment. Plus he talks about his “this IS the job” approach to auditioning, something post-strike that he'd like to see implemented about the work, why you can't get to the great stuff “without risking that it might all go off the rails,” and much more. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from  Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.  Follow Back To One on Instagram

Jonathan Lethem is a best-selling essayist, novelist, and cultural critic. His books include Dissident Gardens, The Fortress of Solitude, The Feral Detective, and Motherless Brooklyn. Lethem is a recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship and winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction. His new book is Brooklyn Crime Novel. Jonathan Lethem explains why They Live endures and is now much more than a “cult classic”, the power of John Carpenter's warnings about our present-future, reflects on what it means to be a “language worker” i.e. someone who writes for a living and thinks deeply about the written word, and why in the Age of Trump and late capitalism so many human beings have surrendered to the culture of cruelty and disposability and have become the “ghouls” from They Live. In this conversation, Jonathan Lethem and Chauncey also reflect on their mutual dislike of Christopher Nolan's films and their shared love of Michael Mann's filmThief. Chauncey shares some stories from his neighborhood, how again he encountered a (new) local pervert, is sad about how bad the New England Patriots have become in the post-Brady era and is very happy about the goddess Jade Cargill joining the WWE. He also explains how Donald Trump continues to channel antisemitism and the evils of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis – this time during an interview where the evil ex-president complains about how non-white migrants and refugees are “poisoning the blood” of (White) America.

Renowned actor, accomplished event producer, and world traveler David Negri has spent a lifetime immersed in the captivating narratives of others. Now, a new chapter beckons as he eagerly anticipates sharing his own compelling story. In this week's conversation with Kenya, David opens up about his formative years in the heart of NYC projects, where he was raised as the eldest of three boys by a single mother. Having honed his skills through years of running a thriving production and event company, destiny took a captivating turn when David's brother shared a fateful casting ad, propelling him into the realm of acting and landing him a role in Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman." David's comfort and affinity for the set are palpable, whether gracing the screens of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" or "Motherless Brooklyn." David and Kenya also discuss the shifting tides of the industry,  highlighting the significance of inclusivity while championing the pursuit of pushing creative boundaries. Together, they navigate the multifaceted tapestry of artistic growth, an ever-evolving journey.   Also Talked About: Raised by a single mother amidst the challenging backdrop of New York City's projects, David emerged as the eldest of three boys. David's affinity for creativity found an outlet through acting and performing. In his early days, he attended a summer program at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in bustling Manhattan. With a career that involved running a production and design company, David's hands-on experience provided insights into managing complex events. His familiarity with orchestrating intricate moving parts translated seamlessly to the dynamic environment of film production. Stepping onto the set of "The Irishman," David found himself in the company of acting icons including De Niro, Keitel, Romano, and Pesci. The atmosphere was familiar and welcoming, and David felt right at home. David notes the shifts in on-set dynamics, from language norms to the introduction of intimacy coordinators. The importance of cultivating a mindset that enhances one's experiences rather than diminishing them. The new remake of "The Wonder Years," is an example of art reflecting real life for David. He sees glimpses of his own life journey within the storytelling, connecting on a deeper level.   Say Hi To Us:  Needed On Set | FB | IG | TikTok  Source & Cast Kenya: IG   Guest: David: FB | IMDb | FB | IG

Film, television and theatre are each modalities in the performing arts Ezra Barnes has been directly immersed into, both as an actor and director. Using performance as a curiosity valve for the preservation of ideals, such as imagination and spirited curiosity, are an important element of Ezra's foundational goals as an actor. Since joining a secret film club in fourth grade, Ezra instinctively knew he was going to be an artist. And going to the theatre starting from an early age, with encouragement from both of his parents, who were heavily invested in the arts, helped lay some of the groundwork for the ideals Ezra became drawn to as a performer. Some of his notable theatre productions as an actor include Fraser Grace's Breakfast With Mugabe, which he also produced; To Kill a Mockingbird, as Atticus Finch; and several productions of the Shakespearean canon. He has directed productions of The Diary of Anne Frank; One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; Julius Caesar; As You Like It; and A Midsummer Night's Dream. In the meantime, Ezra has appeared in several film and television projects, including Bored to Death; Law & Order; Jessica Jones; Orange is the New Black; and Motherless Brooklyn, opposite Edward Norton. Additionally, he runs the Young Actors Workshop in Brooklyn to inspire the next generation of theatre. In our conversation, we discussed the origins and film adaptation of Group, the group psychotherapy series in which he plays Frank, and its relevance to the present day; the influence of Count Basie on his idea of performance; directing theatre; inspiring curiosity from knowing the script, but not actively thinking about it in the moment; and how height influences the perception of life. His upcoming projects include Birth/Rebirth, the Sundance/IFC horror film which will be released in theaters, and available to stream on August 18; as well as Can't Let it Go, a comedic film on the emotional hangover in the aftermath of the 2016 election starring Mario Cantone.Opening Credits: Plaga de baile - I WAS A MOD (pero ya no) I Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United States (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US); HoliznaCC0 - April Showers I CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication.

There is this term (that I did not come up with) called terminal uniqueness. And I'm curious if you can diagnose yourself with this. It is the belief that when you see someone else be successful or you see someone else succeeding or you hear about the way someone went about their career or a step that they took to get where they're going, you write against yourself. Like if that will work for them then it will never work for me or I am so different that it is impossible that path will work for me. Now this is not to discredit anything like systemic racism and lack of representation. I just want to make sure that we also don't bring our own additional trauma to this conversation where I am so different that it is impossible for me to find success in any of the ways that other people have found it before me.  What I want to say to you is you are incredibly special and you're not special. And the reason why I say that is that when you make yourself special you start to exclude yourself from what might be in front of you. Why I bring this up today is because my guest is Migs Govea and he has a ton of credits behind him. It could be very easy to say to yourself whether you're an actor, photographer, director, butcher, baker or candlestick maker - Yes, well they have that much success so this is why it works for them. You're going to hear in Migs's story how he moved to a new city, suddenly decided he's going to stay there and then suddenly decided he's going to reach out and try to get representation there. It may sound a little like a Cinderella story, but you're going to hear him share how, much more intimately, there was a wrestle going on inside of him.  You'll learn that it isn't as black and white as reps saying, “You've got a bunch going on already. I'm glad to meet with you.” That's the place where I want you to root yourself. Instead of making Migs so special that any of his success cannot also be yours, the invitation I make to you today is to find where in Migs's story the places you see yourself. And… Migs does not hold back. He is really vulnerable and honest with his experience. I just  know that you're going to get that extra cuddle of intimacy where you can feel the same emotions that he experienced during the journey to find his great representation in Los Angeles.  Here are just a few takeaways: There is never a perfect time to reach out to reps A target list is the worst strategy you can use to find the right match Let go of the things you cannot control and take ownership of the things that you can   You are more than enough Let me run down some of his Migs super exciting credits: Currently he is recurring as Nick Vargas on the CBS series FBI: Most Wanted, he was on the Netflix series Inventing Anna opposite Julia Garner and then he also appeared opposite Julia Garner again in the Sundance hit The Assistant. He was on HBO's City on a Hill and NBC's Law & Order: SVU. His film credits include Motherless Brooklyn opposite Ed Norton and Ocean's 8 opposite Anne Hathaway. So he certainly has all those fancy exciting things going for him that he's worked really hard to accomplish. You're going to hear Migs talk about even with that kind of resume there's so much more story behind each of those credits than we might see on the outside.    Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Brian Breaks Character!

Tom and Gav try Anthropomorphism on for size in this discussion of Jonathan Lethem's breakthrough debut novel.It's difficult to separate Jonathan Lethem from this exhaustive podcast series about Bennington College and it's influence on American literature of the 80's/90's, but this is the episode that deals specifically with the publication of Gun, with occasional music and Motherless Brooklyn. You can dive as deeply as you like…...and here's Jonathan Lethem talking about his favourite books with a big helping of Non-Bennington Autobiography to go along.Lethem's article, The Ecstasy of Influence, which he talks about at the top of the above interview.German listeners will already be familiar with this very successful example of anthropomorphic comedy involving, coincidentally, a Kangaroo. Metcalf's world was probably shaped in large part by Flexians, the professional fixers of tawdry privatized and outsourced government policies that meet the needs of the private sector.
