Podcasts about nabokov

Talking in-depth with author, publisher, and academic Udith Dematagoda, on his intellectual journey from post-punk bands to postwar literary writers, from international development contracts to pursing a PhD on Nabokov, from Scottish council estates to the specter of Marxist ghosts. A romantic, Udith shares his biography, the crossroads of class, diasporic experience, being driven not by ideology, but by aesthetic integrity. The son of a Sri Lankan political exile in Scotland, code-switching between posh-accented academia and the swear-punctuated slang of the personal, discovering reading as a lifeline from juvenile delinquency. On Agonist, his novel of post-internet disintegration, the imagination flooded by the digital hose. On the aesthetics of fascism, the dialectic between technology and masculinity, and the enduring value of Conrad. On the flattening tendencies of ideology and longing for transcendence. From literary engineering to integrity, on Neruda to Nabokov's politics. On cosmopolitism, hybridization, from Vienna to Tokyo and back to novel publishin. On transgression and techno-pessimism, the diabolic nature of AI….ExcerptsOn Artistic IntegrityI'm an extremely romantic and impractical person, right? Artistic integrity is probably the most important thing to me, I think, because, my, as I said, my ambitions are just very like, artistic, right?On Techo-Pessimism They just come from the depths of hell. The true face of this horrid, diabolical kind of thing….I'm a complete technological pessimist.I would describe myself as a sort of Luddite in the original sense, in the sense of I insist like the, just because one is you're able to do something. There's no sense. I think a lot of people. techno optimists are really motivated by hatred and raison du monde of human nature of creativity, of, everything that's human, right? And then this is a secret kind of motivation, but one that's really apparent to me…I think it's because the people that are driving these things really have a sort of fundamental  raison du monde towards something which they feel alienated by for whatever reason…On Agonist I was very frustrated about being on the internet and taking away from what I had to do.Artistically, intellectually, et cetera, wasting time on the internet…  And then I just decided I'm gonna write everything I see that's annoys me into this notebook. And I just filled that notebook up over a year. [Agnoist] is a fever dream of the internet, which tries to confront how people try to communicate and just are not able to, and what underlies this thing, this kind of collective text that we're all offering, whether we like it or not. And how diabolical it is.On Masculinity, Fascism, and Technology So this is the book I've been working on for six years now on masculinity, fascism, and technology. The general thesis of the book is that fascism is equally an aesthetic philosophy as it is in ideology. It's why it describes an ideological aesthetic.On International Development And this isn't a controversial position to say that, international development is just rear guard colonialism, that's all it is. It's just soft power for rear, for the type of colonialism, which no longer requires colonial administrators with boots on the ground.It just requires technical assistance and expertise and con consultants, et cetera. USAID in particular, when I worked within that world was absolutely known to be not even thinly disguised kind of front for the securities state, the projects that they funded, et cetera. That's not that was common knowledge. USAID was just front basically for the American State Department and also the CIA and NSA, et cetera.On Readership I'm happy that there's people that read my work and they enjoy it, and that's fine. I don't really need to have the validation of what, whatever it is. I don't know, like the sort of journalistic class or like the academic class or what, whatever it is, I don't really care.I'm not really that bothered by that. Honestly I would like that people read my work and that's fine, I think but attaining ambitions for me is setting it to accomplish something that I think is interesting artistically in getting as close to that as possible…AgonistHyperidean PressUdith Dematagoda Get full access to Leafbox at leafbox.substack.com/subscribe

This is the first episode of Eminent Americans where I've had the pleasure of talking to both the subject of a published profile and the profile writer at the same time. Kevin LaTorre, a return guest on the show, recently wrote “The 6,069 Fictions of Justin Smith-Ruiu,” a long piece about philosopher and metafictionist Justin Smith-Ruiu. Or maybe Justin wrote it himself, appropriating Kevin's name and likeness as another one of his authorial alter-egos. Maybe “Kevin” doesn't even exist. I mean, I think he does, since I've talked to him before on zoom, and perused his digital profile, but what if he's just a gifted improviser who was hired by Justin to play Kevin on my podcast? What if the plan all along was to create a real-seeming “Kevin LaTorre” persona, with a fully fleshed out online profile, in order to add yet another layer of semi-unreality to the many layers of the Hinternet, Justin's vast and sprawling endeavor.This seems unlikely, given that “Kevin” and I don't even talk about Justin in our first podcast interview, but who knows? If you're going to create a plausible “Kevin LaTorre” in the world, then you need to have him doing plausibly Kevin LaTorre-esque things, like coming on my podcast to discuss his “faith,” the essayist “Jia Tolentino,” and “climate change.”Anyhoo — such are the questions one begins to ask oneself after one has spent more than a certain amount of time in Justin's world. The conversation, which I really enjoyed, is primarily about Justin and his Hinternet project. We also talk about the challenges that Kevin faced in profiling Justin, Justin's disillusionment with academia, and Justin's scooter accident of a few years ago, which marked a profound break in his life and career. And much, much more.Hinternet posts we discuss include (descriptors and parentheticals from Kevin)* His re-version story* His past audio-mixing history* This metafiction: "The Storyteller"* His case against euthanasia (by far, the most technoskeptic take I've read from him)* His case for pacifism (by far the most dissident-left stance he has, I think -- antiwar in a pro-war Democratic party)* His reflection on his post-2020 developments (where he uses the "old-time religion" of love which sums up plenty about him lately)The show notes, according to ChatGPT:

Vive mesi lunghissimi in unità spinale; non sarebbe dovuta sopravvivere, invece torna addirittura a camminare. Il dolore mentale lascia spazio a quello fisico, spesso si sovrappongono, a volte esplodono, altre si silenziano in apatia. Le elucubrazioni raccontano il passato, gli uomini che si sono susseguiti, gli incubi, l'angoscia, un amore smodato per la letteratura e per la filosofia, cosa ha portato al suicidio ma anche ciò che è stato il ritorno alla vita dopo il “grande salto”.Purgatorio è un memoir che segue un andamento poetico, dove i personaggi riscrivono la propria identità nell'impossibilità di fissarla. Ilaria Palomba fronteggia interrogativi estremi e come Bernhard fa dialogare vita e morte in uno stile lirico che si lega agli eventi. Il lessico aulico, gli arcaismi, l'ossessività martellante, il movimento spiraliforme conducono il lettore a soffermarsi: ogni frase cerca di contenere il tutto.Ilaria Palomba, pugliese di origine, romana d'adozione, è nata nel 1987.

We've arrived at the big one, the breakthrough book of 1985 – White Noise. In Episodes 21 and 22, DDSWTNP extend our White Noise “residency” and turn in-depth attention to DeLillo's most popular piece of fiction in another double episode.  Episode 21: White Noise (1) takes an expansive view of the novel's narrative and goes into depth on (among many other subjects) the iconic opening chapter's commentary on America and Americana, the meaning of Mylex suits, Jack's relationships with Heinrich and Orest Mercator, and what it means to be a rat, a snake, a fascist, and a scholar of Hitler in this book's universe. Episode 22: White Noise (2) interprets passages mainly from the book's second half, including scenes featuring the dark humor of Vernon Dickey and of SIMUVAC, the meaning of DeLillo's desired title “Panasonic,” Jack's shooting of Willie Mink (and what it owes to Nabokov), a riveting fire and a fascinating trash compactor cube, and the Dostoevskyan interrogation of belief by Sister Hermann Marie. Every minute features original ideas on the enduring meanings of White Noise in so many political, social, technological, and moral dimensions – what it teaches us about the roots and implications of our many epistemological crises, how it does all this in writing that somehow manages to be self-conscious, philosophical, hilarious, and warm all at once. Texts and artifacts discussed and mentioned in these episodes: Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death (Free Press, 1973).  Adam Begley, “Don DeLillo: The Art of Fiction CXXXV,” The Paris Review 128 (1993): 274-306.            (DeLillo: “And White Noise develops a trite adultery plot that enmeshes the hero, justifying his fears about the death energies contained in plots. When I think of highly plotted novels I think of detective fiction or mystery fiction, the kind of work that always produces a few dead bodies. But these bodies are basically plot points, not worked-out characters. The book's plot either moves inexorably toward a dead body or flows directly from it, and the more artificial the situation the better.

On this edition of Brodie's Sit Down, our Brodie Brazil chats with legendary Sharks goalie, Evgeni Nabokov

“I admire Freud greatly,” the novelist Vladimir Nabokov once said, “as a comic writer.” For Nabokov, Sigmund Freud was “the Viennese witch-doctor,” objectionable for “the vulgar, shabby, fundamentally medieval world” of his ideas. Author Joshua Ferris (The Dinner Party, Then We Came to the End) joins Jacke for a discussion of the author of Lolita and his special hatred for “the Austrian crank with a shabby umbrella.” [This episode was originally released on September 30, 2017.

Nabokov, Stoppard, Fassbinder, Bogarde

In this Fully-Booked podcast episode, hosted by Meghan and Shereen, delves into Vladimir Nabokov's controversial 1955 novel Lolita. This discussion is part of their "selfish December" series, where they explore topics of personal and cultural interest. Meghan’s recurring fascination with Lolita drives this deep dive into the novel’s complex themes, mischaracterizations, and its impact on modern media. Lolita portrays disturbing subject matter through the fictional memoir of Humbert Humbert, an unreliable narrator obsessed with a very young Dolores Hayes. Nabokov’s narrative critiques Humbert’s delusions and reprehensible behavior, emphasizing Dolores’ victimization. Despite its controversial premise, the novel’s strength lies in exposing power dynamics and manipulation rather than romanticizing them. The Novel’s Legacy and Misuse Nabokov’s literary approach, which deconstructs Humbert’s psyche, contrasts sharply with how adaptations have altered its essence. Film versions, such as Stanley Kubrick’s 1962 adaptation and Adrian Lyne’s 1997 film, misrepresent Lolita by aging up Dolores or portraying her as complicit, thus softening the novel’s critical stance. These changes often shift sympathy towards Humbert and dilute the focus on Dolores’ suffering. Moreover, Lolita has been co-opted into a cultural aesthetic, epitomized by the term “Lolita aesthetic.” This phenomenon romanticizes the image of a precocious seductress, perpetuating misconceptions about the novel’s intent and overlooking its critique of exploitation and manipulation. Cultural Tropes and Media Representations The podcast parallels Lolita and modern media, such as Pretty Little Liars, which similarly romanticizes inappropriate relationships. These portrayals often frame young female characters as active participants, normalizing harmful dynamics. Meghan and Shereen also critique the hypersexualization of teenage girls in shows like The O.C., which blur moral boundaries and reflect societal discomfort in addressing abuse. Additionally, the hosts explore the broader implications of Lolita's themes in media, highlighting films like Miller’s Girl that perpetuate narratives framing men as victims of young girls’ supposed provocations. Such portrayals reinforce harmful stereotypes and obscure the true dynamics of abuse and exploitation. Nabokov’s Perspective and Modern Relevance While Nabokov’s widow expressed regret over the novel’s misinterpretation, the hosts emphasize that the original text critiques Humbert’s behavior and underscores Dolores’ victimization. The enduring relevance of Lolita lies in its exploration of uncomfortable truths about power and control. However, its legacy is often overshadowed by adaptations and cultural appropriations that misrepresent its core message. In Closing Meghan and Shereen conclude by urging audiences to engage critically with Lolita and resist reductive narratives perpetuated by adaptations. By centering Dolores’ perspective and recognizing Humbert’s unreliability, readers can better appreciate the novel’s critique of power dynamics and exploitation. The discussion highlights the broader cultural impact of Lolita, advocating for responsible storytelling that challenges harmful narratives and amplifies marginalized voices in literature and media.

Where do you arrive if you follow Vaden's obsessions to their terminus? You arrive at Brian Boyd, the world expert on the two titanic thinkers of the 20th century: Karl Popper and Vladimir Nabokov. Boyd wrote his PhD thesis on Nabokov's 1969 novel Ada, impressing Nabokov's wife Vera so much that he was invited to catalogue Nabokov's unpublished archives. This led to Boyd's two-volume biography of Nabokov, which Vera kept on her beside table. Boyd also developed an interest in Popper, and began research for his biography in 1996, which was then promptly delayed as he worked on his book, On The Origin of Stories, which we [dedicated episode #50]((https://www.incrementspodcast.com/50) to. In this episode, we ask Professor Boyd to contrast and compare his two subjects, by addressing the question: What could Karl Popper have learned from Vladimir Nabokov? We discuss How Brian discovered Nabokov Did Nabokov have a philosophy? Nabokov's life as a scientist Was Nabokov simply a writer of puzzles? How much should author intentions matter when interpreting literature?

Jak na Nowojorczyka przystało, narodził się w jednym z nowojorskich hoteli nieopodal Times Square, w czasach kiedy na Manhattanie powstające wieżowce pięły się do nieba, a spełnienie się wielkiego amerykańskiego snu było bardziej realne niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej czy później w historii. Na początku utożsamiał miejski szyk, wyrafinowanie, dystans i poczucie humoru, ale po II wojnie światowej nabrał dziennikarskiego rozpędu i na jego łamach ukazywały się ikoniczne i przełomowe teksty, kontestujące mit Ameryki. Ciągnęli do niego nie tylko wielcy reporterzy, ale też wielcy pisarze – Lem, Pynchon, Updike, Nabokov, Plath, Márquez – choć temu ostatniemu się nie udało…a kilka miesięcy po odrzuceniu tekstu przez redaktorów nowojorskiego pisma, dostał literackiego Nobla….tym tygodnikiem jest The New Yorker.

Sandra Petrignani"Leggere gli uomini"Editori Laterza.itwww.laterza.itSpalancando le chiuse ‘stanze tutte per sé' degli scrittori, Sandra Petrignani legge gli uomini, con passione e in ordine sparso. Rilegge i loro libri cercando di comprendere anche la loro natura.Per secoli, solo gli scrittori maschi hanno potuto disporre di una stanza tutta per sé, di uno ‘studio' inaccessibile dove indisturbati hanno composto capolavori. E quando ne uscivano, avevano il mondo intero per fare esperienza di cose e persone. Al sesso femminile raramente è stato concesso un analogo privilegio. Il sesso femminile per molto tempo non ha potuto scriverli quei libri meravigliosi: soltanto leggerli. Così intere generazioni di donne hanno esplorato le geografie dell'animo umano, scoperto l'amore, l'amicizia e la propria identità sulle opere scritte dagli uomini. Rispecchiandosi a volte perfettamente, a volte con difficoltà, a volte per niente.Fra esercizi di ammirazione e scatti di rabbia, attraverso memorabili citazioni, Sandra Petrignani ci porta dentro tante pagine indimenticabili, da Dumas a Roth, da Pavese a Proust, da Calvino a Tolstoj, da Gary a Dostoevskij, da Moravia a Mann, da Manganelli a Kundera, da Malerba a Čechov, da Nabokov a Chatwin, da Tabucchi a Kafka e a mille altri. Fino ad alcuni grandi di oggi, Modiano, McEwan, Carrère... Cercando davvero di capirli i maschi, nella scrittura e nella vita, nel coraggio e nella fragilità, nel bisogno di nascondersi e di negarsi, nelle ossessioni di cui sono preda. Una scorribanda molto personale e appassionata che ci fa scoprire, come insegna Virginia Woolf, quanto «nella vita come nell'arte i valori delle donne non sono i valori degli uomini» e che esiste, probabilmente, un modo femminile di essere lettore.Sandra Petrignani, nata a Piacenza, vive fra la campagna umbra e Roma. Fra le sue pubblicazioni: con La Tartaruga Le signore della scrittura; con Neri Pozza i libri di viaggio Ultima Indiae La scrittrice abita qui, i racconti di fantasmi Care presenze, ilritratto della società letteraria del dopoguerra Addio a Roma, il romanzo dedicato alla figura di DurasMarguerite, il ritratto di Natalia GinzburgLa corsara, finalista Premio Strega 2019; con Giunti La persona giusta, romanzo per YA; con Rrose Sélavy la fiaba illustrata per bambini Elsina e il grande segreto, ispirata a Elsa Morante; con Gramma/Feltrinelli Autobiografia dei miei cani.

Marco Alfano"Parole a manovella"La linea scrittawww.lalineascritta.itSpesso i grandi scrittori si mettono a giocare mentre scrivono.Dagli insospettabili Dante e Boccaccio fino a Joyce, Nabokov, Cortàzar e Primo Levi, solo per citarne alcuni, la letteratura si è nutrita e si nutre sottotraccia di sperimentazioni sulla forma che sono delle vere e proprie macchine giocose, i cui ingranaggi sono regole rigorose che producono piacere aggiuntivo nel lettore. E soprattutto che hanno la funzione di stimolo alla creatività, come ben sapevano gli scrittori dell'OuLiPo come Perec e Queneau (cui si unì Italo Calvino), che hanno prodotto capolavori assoluti a partire da una griglia di norme formali in cui sbizzarrirsi con la fantasia per ottenere il miglior risultato, proprio come in un gioco di società.E, d'altra parte, il piacere del gioco, che sia coltivato individualmente o in gruppo, si alimenta spessissimo con la lingua, le parole e la loro duttilità, i sensi multipli (e i nonsensi), le assonanze. Dal Gioco del vocabolario al Telegrafo senza fili, dal Taboo ai surrealisti Cadaveri Squisiti, ai molteplici giochi enigmistici il divertimento passa attraverso il linguaggio, la sua manipolazione gioiosa, lo stupore infantile della scoperta di nuovi sensi e nuovi suoni.Questo laboratorio vuole affrontare con serissima leggerezza la relazione tra parola e gioco, in entrambe le direzioni: usare il gioco e le sue regole come strumento creativo per scrivere e le parole per giocare e divertirsi. Lo faremo attraversando la miriade di forme della ludoscrittura, leggendo e analizzando gli scrittori e i poeti che l'hanno praticata ma soprattutto scrivendo e giocando assieme.  A chi è rivolto:A chi scrive e vuole aggiungere nuovi utensili, manovelle, trottole, scatole a molla e caleidoscopi alla sua cassetta degli attrezzi narrativaA chi è appassionato di giochi, letteratura, enigmistica, poesia, combinatoria, scrittura umoristicaA chiunque, che sia o no incluso nelle due categorie precedenti, voglia divertirsi e impararenuovi giochi e cimenti da sperimentare in gruppo o da soloCome si articolaSei incontri in videoconferenza, il giovedì, di due ore ciascuno, con una parte teorica e, principalmente, l'applicazione pratica e creativa delle varie forme di scrittura ludica o “a contrainte”. Esercizi, giochi e scritture saranno condivisi continuativamente attraverso una mailing list e un gruppo Facebook che saranno attivi durante il laboratorio e anche successivamente.Alcuni degli argomenti/giochi:l'OuLiPo e la scrittura a contrainte; Lipogrammi e tautogrammi; Acrostici, palindromi e anagrammi; Poesia metasemantica; Le lingue inventate; Le parole inesistenti e il gioco del vocabolario; La combinatoria; Le forme poetiche come Ur-contraintes; Il nonsense e i Limericks; Le scritture automatiche; Il cut-up di Borroughs; Il cinegioco (gioco dei titoli).Alcuni degli autori trattati:Georges Perec; Raymond Queneau; Primo Levi; Stefano Bartezzaghi; Giampaolo Dossena; Umberto Eco; Italo Calvino; Tommaso Landolfi; Julio Cortázar; Jorge Luis Borges; J.

In this fiery love story set in equatorial Africa, Peace Corps volunteer David Fields in on mission: to build a medical dispensary in a remote village where he seldom has his bearings and must fight a cocktail of tropical maladies and cultural taboos. He throws himself into work, which he's deliciously distracted from in his pursuit of a gorgeous African lady. In her vitality, Assam rocks with the energy of a dozen women and bye and bye David becomes the hunter captured by the game. And what a rollicking game of love it is with delicious “distractions” keeping the reader spellbound. With its hunting ventures into rainforest and original Bantu folktales recounted fireside, this is a novel that, in its haunting end, will strum elegiacally at your heartstrings. Resonating with Nabokov's truism, “The finest art is not simple and sincere but rather complex and deceitful.” Think of the Mona Lisa's smile. Think of Water Drumming in the Soul ... Your soul.

What happens when a novelist wants “nonsense and joy” but his characters are destined for a Central European sanatorium? How does the abecedarian form (i.e. organized not chronologically or sequentially but alphabetically) insist on order, yet also embrace absurdity?

Sachs has fallen under the spell of late Habsburg Vienna, where the polymath Ludwig Wittgenstein struggled to make sense of Boltzmann's physics, Arnold Schoenberg read the acerbic journalist Karl Kraus, and everyone, Sachs suspects, was reading Grimms' Fairy Tales, searching for the feeling of inevitability only narrative closure can provide.

1958 - Hace 3 años que Lolita, la novela de Nabokov, fascina y escandaliza en las ediciones que ha logrado publicar y ante una nueva edición decide involucrarse en el diseño de la portada y el 1 de marzo le escribe a su editor Walter J Minton. Un espacio de Bárbara Espejo.

Akiba Rubinstein fue un adelantado a su tiempo. Su habilidad consistía en ver más allá de lo que estaba sucediendo en el tablero y, con ello, proyectar lo que iba a ocurrir en la fase final de la partida. Sin embargo, su estado de salud mental siempre fue quebradizo, al punto que, cada vez que jugaba, oía el zumbido de una mosca. Por un tiempo, fue el mejor jugador del planeta, pero su gloria nunca fue completa, pues nunca se coronó como campeón del mundo. Se cuenta que Nabokov se inspiró en Rubinstein para crear la figura de Luzhin, el protagonista de ‘La defensa'. En la sección ‘Enroque corto', hablamos con el joven Lorenzo Perea, quien recientemente ha logrado el oro para España en el Campeonato de Europa sub-18 por equipos. Con solo 15 años, Lorenzo es, sin lugar a dudas, una de las grandes esperanzas del ajedrez español. En ‘La biblioteca de Caissa', el maestro Luisón nos sigue recomendando lo mejor de la literatura ajedrezada. Y, en ‘La gran diagonal', recibimos el saludo y la pregunta de Ibán García del Blanco.

En el Teatro Luis del Olmo Sergio del Molino entrevista a Lolita, personaje de Vladimir Nabokov. Ella nos cuenta cómo Nabokov escribió el libro que le hizo famoso y que tiene como protagonistas a Humbert Humbert y su amada, la niña Dolores Haze. En esta entrevista, Dolores se queja de haber sido utilizada por infinidad de críticos literarios como "la niñita abusada de la literatura universal" y cuenta su propia versión de la historia.

Aleksandr Skorobogatov is the author of Russian Gothic, available from Rare Bird. Translated by Ilona Yazhbin Chavasse. Skorobogatov was born in Grodno in what is now Belorussia.

An heir to Dostoevsky, Gogol, Bulgakov, Nabokov, Pelevin, and Sorokin--the surreal line of the Russian literary canon--his novels have been published to great acclaim in Russian, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, French, Italian, Greek, Serbian, and Spanish. He won the prestigious International Literary Award Città di Penne for the Italian edition of Russian Gothic, which also received the Best Novel of the Year Award from Yunost. Cocaine (2017) won Belgium's Cutting Edge Award for 'Best Book International'. His most recent novel, Raccoon, was published by De Geus in 2020. De Tijd has called Skorobogatov "the best Russian writer of the moment."

Perfect for those who relish the bittersweet tang of nostalgia and the intricate dance of human relationships, this narration will leave you pondering the delicate intricacies of life and love long after the final words echo away.

Walter Nardon"Poche cerimonie"Buone ragioni per leggere e scriverePendragon www.pendragon.itChe ne è della scrittura nell'epoca in cui la macchina ha imparato a generarla autonomamente sostituendosi all'essere umano? L'importanza del gesto con cui si scrive non può più essere data per scontata, come è avvenuto nella Galassia Guntenberg, o intesa in modo incerto, come è invece successo a partire dal Duemila, quando grazie alla realtà digitale il primato della scrittura è stato messo in discussione. Cosa dire a uno studente che prende in mano un libro? Quali sono oggi le ragioni per cui leggere e scrivere? Forse sono quelle che impieghiamo allestendo ogni giorno con il linguaggio giochi diversi nei quali le macchine possono e non possono entrare, a seconda di ciò che decidiamo di costruire, o di raccontare, mettendo insieme una parola dopo l'altra. Alternando racconto personale e riflessione sui nodi centrali della letteratura, in questo saggio narrativo Walter Nardon affronta una questione urgente e inesauribile. Fra gli insegnamenti di Nabokov e la soluzione di Proust, le motivazioni dell'attività letteraria nel secondo Novecento e le novità del presente, il libro cerca una rotta praticabile.Walter Nardon è nato a Zurigo nel 1970 e lavora a Trento. Narratore e saggista, ha pubblicato i saggi La parte e l'intero (Edizioni Università di Trento, 2007) e L'illusione e l'evidenza (Mimesis, 2016), il romanzo Sibber (Effigie, 2014), le raccolte di racconti Il ritardo (QuiEdit, 2009), Erin e gli altri (Pendragon 2021). Sempre per Pendragon nel 2024 è uscito il saggio narrativo Poche cerimonie. Buone ragioni per leggere e scrivere. Ha conseguito un dottorato di ricerca in Letterature comparate. Insegna in un liceo e scrive su «Doppiozero», «Nazione Indiana», «Zibaldoni».

Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, Kevin Tumlinson, and Dick Wybrow as they discuss the week's entertainment news, including the Romance Writers of America filing for bankruptcy, Polis Books, and how Costco plans to stop selling books year round. Then, stick around for a chat with Carol LaHines! Carol LaHines: For me, the most affecting stories are those that are leavened with a sardonic sensibility.  Italo Calvino, one of my favorite writers, notes “th[e] particular connection between melancholy and humor,” speaking of how great writing “foregrounds [with] tiny, luminous traces that counterpoint the dark catastrophe.”  I've always veered toward the great literary comic writers—from Cervantes to Laurence Sterne to Pynchon, with a particular reverence for Nabokov, who believed that the best writing places the reader under a spell. My debut novel, Someday Everything Will All Make Sense, was a finalist for the Nilsen Prize for a First Novel and an American Fiction Award. My second novel, The Vixen Amber Halloway, is forthcoming in 2024 (Regal House). My fiction has appeared in journals including Fence, Denver Quarterly, Hayden's Ferry Review, Cimarron Review, The Literary Review, The Laurel Review, South Dakota Review, North Dakota Quarterly, The South Carolina Review, The Chattahoochee Review, The Nebraska Review, North Atlantic Review, Sycamore Review, Permafrost, redivider, Literary Orphans, and Literal Latte. My story, “Papijack,” was selected by judge Patrick Ryan as the recipient of the Lamar York Prize for Fiction. My short stories and novellas have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and been finalists for the David Meyerson Fiction Prize, the Mary McCarthy Prize, the New Letters short story award, and the Disquiet Literary Prize, among others. My nonfiction includes “New York est une ville a part,” appearing in chantier d'ecriture (Mémoire d'encrier, A. Heminway, ed.). I am a graduate of New York University, Gallatin Division, and of St. John's University School of Law. My teachers include Rick Moody, Phil Schultz, and Sheila Kohler. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/writersink/support

Valentina Sturli"Professori di desiderio"Seduzione e rovina nel romanzo del NovecentoCarocci Editorewww.carocci.itIl volume indaga in chiave comparatistica il tema letterario novecentesco dell'intellettuale che si degrada per amore e che si perde (o si ritrova) sulle tracce di un oggetto del desiderio misterioso, enigmatico, attraente e sfuggente. Da Senilità di Italo Svevo a L'immoralista di André Gide, dalla Morte a Venezia di Thomas Mann a Lolita di Vladimir Nabokov, passando per il fondamentale modello del Professor Unrat di Heinrich Mann fino a Dino Buzzati, Alberto Moravia e Goffredo Parise, e all'estremo contemporaneo con J. M. Coetzee, Philip Roth e Walter Siti, il libro ricostruisce la genealogia di un tema che, pur avendo precursori illustri, solo nel secolo scorso acquista ampiezza considerevole e da comico, come nel caso del personaggio del senex amans e del vieux barbon dei secoli precedenti, si fa serio. Il sapiente moderno, che dovrebbe essere in grado di governare una realtà complessa e cangiante – di cui l'amato o l'amata sono figura – si scopre invece preda dei propri impulsi, smarrito e instabile nel suo controllo sul mondo, e sulle tracce del desiderio intraprende un percorso tanto pericoloso quanto affascinante e inaspettato, alla scoperta di tutto ciò che fin lì aveva represso e negato.Valentina SturliÈ ricercatrice senior di Letterature comparate nel Dipartimento di Lettere, Arti e Scienze Sociali dell'Università “G. d'Annunzio” di Chieti-Pescara.

Entretien mené par Raphaëlle Leyris Mais qu'est-ce qui a bien pu entraîner Jean Rolin en Guyane à la chasse aux papillons ? Il était pourtant parti, en souvenir de sa mère, sur la Côte d'Azur, depuis Bandol jusqu'à Menton, suivre à pied les traces de l'écrivaine britannique Katherine Mansfield. Mais son périple devait s'interrompre brutalement à Hyères, sur les différents lieux du tournage de “Pierrot le Fou” de Godard. Dans son hôtel, en proie au découragement, alors qu'il zappait sur les chaînes de son téléviseur, il tombe sur le film “Papillon”, adapté du roman d'Henri Charrière. Et plus précisément sur la scène dans laquelle Steve McQueen et Dustin Hoffman s'efforcent avec maladresse de capturer des papillons Morpho, avant de les remettre à un agent de l'administration du célèbre bagne de Cayenne. Le voilà embarqué outre-mer, jusque dans la forêt amazonienne, sur la piste de ces fameux papillons, traçant un itinéraire poétique à travers la géopolitique, l'histoire coloniale et les guerres, la littérature (avec Nabokov notamment), et donnant une magistrale illustration de son talent descriptif et narratif. À lire – Jean Rolin, Les Papillons du bagne, P.O.L, 2024.

Featuring a solid ensemble cast and a wonderful lead performance from David Krumholtz is an enjoyably meandering, comedically sour journey that with have you smitten by its curmudgeonly charms.  We had the pleasure of checking out a screening with writer/director Bob Byington and actrees Luxy Banner in attendance, which we recorded for your listening pleasure.  Caution: You're entering spoiler territory.

Winner of the 2022 National Jewish Book Award, author Stephen Mills and I discuss his book, "The Chosen - A Memoir of Stolen Boyhood" after touching on Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita". We talk about how Nabokov's writing should be read by all adults and transition to sharing personal testimonies of sexual abuse in this highly emotional episode. The Chosen:https://www.amazon.com/Chosen-Memoir-Boyhood-Stephen-Mills/dp/1250871158/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Lolita: https://www.amazon.com/Lolita-Vladimir-Nabokov/dp/0679723161/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3AYQ6OPPR3UFI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2CCcG1f0_DD-mEoKWzwUqjyYaAWJvMref4f5phcPI-VVPYsmbsYR_o5M9WVkCgPHS2Y0Wb-XO8nfeD4aA2YFwttd3Lf9OSNEAzoyXliJYi96VnMJqTxlE4d2i2hNARbIgnC1X_sDvgZzWtSnpTae1MnZEoEm-UKCN-kPXP2K4sjaVtTe-VSqW7NwdR5eoUy22au-Zc-N5513AqgR-4NRfYcWRUdqMjuvcp2Xj9dsBPg._caEWI-6oSstuKkmFXwRt3h_bE-iR2yj63yfHFhEyL4&dib_tag=se&keywords=lolita+vladimir+nabokov&qid=1712029339&s=books&sprefix=lolita+%2Cstripbooks%2C187&sr=1-1

Rencontre avec l'écrivain, ancien soldat et académicien, François Sureau, auteur de « S'en aller » chez Gallimard. « Je connais peu d'images aussi frappantes que celle par laquelle Nabokov décrit le départ d'un train : ce sont les wagons qui reculent le long du quai. Quant à la destination, elle n'est jamais celle qu'on a entrevue, en esprit, au moment de s'en aller. » François Sureau n'a jamais cessé de rechercher la compagnie bienfaisante de ceux qui, comme lui, ont été habités par le désir de s'en aller ; de Victor Hugo, fuyant la politique à Guernesey, à Philby père et fils fuyant la loyauté nationale, en passant par Patrick Leigh.

In this episode, I speak with my colleague at TU, Boris Dralyuk on Vladmir Nabokov's delightful take on the campus novel, Pnin.  We explore our endearing hero's journey from being a man on the wrong train to becoming an American behind the wheel at long last.  I hope you enjoy our conversation.    Boris Dralyuk is a poet, translator, and critic.

Las novelas de caballería no acabaron con El Quijote. El espíritu de la caballería se puede rastrear en toda la historia de la novela hasta hoy mismo. Se trata de una característica típica de la literatura relacionada con la búsqueda del yo. Con Sergio del Molino y José Enrique Ruiz Domenech, autor del libro 'La novela y el espíritu de la caballería', nos adentramos en los detalles del mundo caballeresco en la historia literaria. ¿Cómo se reconoce el espíritu de la caballería? ¿En qué se caracterizan las novelas de caballería? El espíritu de la caballería ha perdurado durante siglos. De hecho, el realismo mágico de García Márquez es un producto indirecto del espíritu de la caballería, así como otros autores como Kafka o Nabokov.

Hi friends, we're on hiatus for the fall. To tide you over, we're putting up some favorite episodes from our archives. This week's episode is in our audio essay format. Enjoy! ---- [originally aired May 26, 2021] Welcome back folks! We've got an audio essay for you this week. It touches on art, music, the skin, the spine, individual differences, vestigial responses, tiny muscles. There's even some Darwin thrown in there. It's a fun one. Hope you enjoy it! A text version of this essay is available on Medium.   Notes and links 1:30 – The novel that very recently gave me goosebumps. 2:00 – A brief discussion of Nabokov and his ideas about the tell-tale tingle.   2:45 – Some terms for goosebumps in other languages. 3:00 – A primer on skin anatomy. 4:00 – A paper on the thermoregulatory function of piloerection in primates and other animals. 4:25 – Read Darwin's Expression here. 5:00 – A paper about “nails on chalkboard chills.” A paper that discusses claims that piloerection attends awe (but which fails to find evidence for this association in a lab setting). A paper on goosebumps in religious experiences. A paper that references mathematicians getting goosebumps when seeing proofs. 5:30 – The 1980 paper by Goldstein on “thrills.” 6:45 – The Darwin passage is quoted in McCrae 2007. 7:00 – A 1995 paper by Panskepp, as well as his 2002 study with a co-author. 7:40 – A recent paper on chills in response to films; another on poetry. 9:15 – The paper by McCrae reporting the association between “openness to experience” and chills. 10:00 – A paper by Fiske and colleagues on kama muta, the “sudden devotion emotion.” 11:10 – Panskepp's “separation call” hypothesis is perhaps best described in his 2002 study.   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation to UCLA.

Do you want to see the world as it is, or as it ought to be? This difficult question is at the heart of the millennia-old debate over morality and art. Pulling back the camera to ask how we got to our current dysfunction, Spencer moves from Homer and Isaiah to Nabokov and Matthew Arnold, looking for answers to the questions that are currently wracking the culture. The digital age has shattered a lot of our old systems, but somewhere in the aftermath there is hope for a new middle ages and a re-enchanted world.

In the previous decade, Adrian Lyne had made two movies (Fatal Attraction and Indecent Proposal) that had grossed over $100 million in the US alone. With carte blanche to do whatever he wanted, he made an adaptation of the Nabokov novel about a 40-year-old pedophile's obsession with his adolescent step-daughter – and no distributor wanted to release it. In a decade rife with the commodification and sexualization of young teens (see our previous episode on Drew Barrymore), what lines did Lyne's Lolita cross?

Welcome back to "Hooked on the First Line," where James and master storyteller Cal Fussman dig deep into what makes the opening lines of novels so captivating. Today's focal point is the notoriously controversial but beautifully penned 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov. "Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta." These opening lines are as alluring as they are unsettling, a fitting introduction to Nabokov's tale.The episode doesn't stop at 'Lolita'; it branches out into the first lines of Nabokov's 'Ada' and 'Laughter in the Dark,' showing that the author's skill in gripping the reader is not a one-off but a recurring theme in his work. James and Cal talk about the stylistic elements, the melody in the words, and the ethical conundrums posed right from the first sentence. How do these lines affect our perception of the characters and the unfolding story? And how does Nabokov manage to lure us into complex emotional landscapes with just a few words? Discover the craftsmanship behind some of literature's most iconic opening lines.------------What do YOU think of the show?
