The last scion of a once-powerful political family, Worcester mayor John O'Toole has his sights set on vastly higher aspirations.When night shift paramedic Thomas Archer uncovers a secret that could upend the mayor's career, O'Toole is set on silencing him, and sends Eamon Conroy, a brutal former cop, to ensure the truth remains under wraps. But O'Toole doesn't stop there. With bribes, buried secrets, and personal attacks, he wreaks havoc on Archer's life in an attempt to save himself. Archer's troubles continue to mount when domestic terrorist and militia member Gerald Knak, who blames Archer for his wife's recent death, sets in motion a deadly plan for revenge.With two forces of evil aligned against him, Archer doesn't stand a chance. But things aren't always what they seem — and he may just have a few tricks up his sleeve in a last gambit to get out alive.Reputations and lies unravel in this gripping tale of corruption, revenge and power.Ted Deepti Kapoor Age of ViceTodd Goldberg Gangsters Don't DieJames Ellroy The Enchanters Mick Herron The Secret HoursPaulThe Sins of Our Fathers Åsa Larsson trans.

Auteur du "Deuxième sexe" et militante engagée auprès du "Mouvement de libération des femmes" (MLF) dans les années 1970, Simone de Beauvoir est considérée par les féministes comme une figure tutélaire.Par ailleurs, son long compagnonnage avec Jean-Paul Sartre, dont elle a partagé certains combats, comme celui pour la décolonisation, lui ont ajouté une aura intellectuelle que rien ne semblait pouvoir ternir.Et pourtant, des témoignages et des livres récents tendent à déboulonner la statue que ses thuriféraires ont érigée à Simone de Beauvoir.Amour de midinette et passivité politiqueDes militantes féministes ont exprimé leur déception face à une femme qui fut l'une des premières à incarner leur combat. Elles lui reprochent ainsi d'avoir connu plusieurs relations lesbiennes sans jamais reconnaître sa bisexualité ni prendre ouvertement la défense de l'homosexualité.Par ailleurs, la relation que noua Simone de Beauvoir avec le romancier américain Nelson Algren ne laisse pas non plus de les décevoir. D'aucuns, en effet, comparent cet amour exclusif et sensuel à une passion de midinette.D'autant que la philosophe s'y comporte comme la femme soumise qu'elle dénonçait dans ses écrits, prête à se contenter des tâches ménagères.Quant à l'engagement politique de l'écrivain, il sème aussi le doute parmi ses partisans. À vrai dire, la politique ne passionnait guère Simone de Beauvoir. Elle ne s'y intéressera quelque peu qu'après la guerre, sous l'influence de Sartre.Durant l'Occupation, elle semble surtout se consacrer à son œuvre. Ses détracteurs lui reprochent d'avoir travaillé à "Radio Vichy" et d'être restée passive tout au long de la guerre.Ses partisans rappellent que Simone de Beauvoir aurait fondé, avec Sartre, un mouvement de résistance, "Socialisme et liberté". Cependant, l'existence de cet organisme paraît très douteuse à certains historiens.D'autres aspects de sa personnalité, comme son goût pour les très jeunes femmes, dont plusieurs de ses élèves, ou son addiction à l'alcool, peuvent encore lézarder l'image de la militante engagée.

Mary Wisniewski has 32 years of experience as a reporter in Chicago, most recently as transportation columnist for the Chicago Tribune. "Algren: A Life," her biography of Chicago writer Nelson Algren, won the Society of Midland Authors 2017 award for best biography and the Chicago Writers Association award for best non-fiction.

She continues to write stories and essays about Chicago neighborhoods and people, and review books and plays.

Author Richard Bales joins After Hours with Rick Kogan to talk about his latest book, The Short Writings of Nelson Algren. They delve into the life and history of Nelson Algren as they discuss this well-researched book.

In this episode, we discuss the life and work of Chicago legend Nelson Algren, one of the most well known literary writers in America in the 40s and 50s who eventually fell into obscurity toward the end of his life. Algren is perhaps best known for his novels such as A Walk on the Wild [...]

1947 – Ha conocido en su primer viaje a Estados Unidos al novelista norteamericano Nelson Algren. Ella tiene 39, un año menos él y al principio sólo debió ser su guía en Chicago, pero a poco andar se convierte en un amor transatlántico, el hombre capaz de sacar una ternura desconocida hasta entonces para la férrea Beauvoir. En una de sus cartas, Simone le dice. En la voz, Bárbara Espejo.

You'll hear Don DeLillo say in this episode that “the best sort of television has almost replaced a certain kind of novel.” That's from a Writers Institute event nearly fifteen years ago, and while conversations about novelistic TV have changed since then, novelists continue to bring their sensibilities to television. Among those writers is Amelia Gray—author of startling short stories and novels—who's written for shows including Maniac and Mr. Robot. Gray says here that “TV is a writer's medium. In features they'll still take it away from you, and have you do a bunch of rewrites, and then it's the director's baby, and that's just how it is. But TV is so big and unwieldy that they need the writers.” On the subject of writers struggling with feature films, we listen to the novelist Russell Banks in conversation with Don DeLillo about their friend Nelson Algren, whose novel, The Man with the Golden Arm, was adapted into a 1955 Otto Preminger film with Frank Sinatra—a film Algren loathed. Banks has had happier experiences with film adaptations of his novels, on the other hand, and DeLillo's White Noise has now been adapted into a film by Noah Baumbach. The question is: what makes things go right or wrong for novelists in Hollywood? On this episode: Amelia Gray (conversation with Adam Colman). Books: Isadora and Museum of the Weird. Don DeLillo (from the archives). Books: White Noise and Underworld. Russell Banks (from the archives). Books: The Sweet Hereafter and Affliction. William Kennedy (conversation with Adam Colman).

In this episode, host Douglas Cowie and his guest, documentary filmmaker Mark Blottner, discuss The Man with the Golden Arm by Nelson Algren. Published in 1949, it tells the story of a war veteran's struggle with morphine addiction, and in so doing paints a portrait of a marginal neighborhood in Chicago and its people.

durée : 00:10:45 - Histoires de Musique - par : Marianne Vourch - De 1947 à 1964, Simone de Beauvoir écrit à Nelson Algren des centaines de lettres d'amour. Au sortir de la guerre, cet « amour transatlantique » l'entraîne dans une aventure aussi risquée que les vols Paris-New-York de ce temps-là. - réalisé par : Sophie Pichon

Este thriller con toque de drama sobre un adicto a las drogas recién salido del penal -un entregado Frank Sinatra-, resultó una provocación en la década de los 50. Frankie Machine vuelve en el bus de línea a su viejo barrio de Chicago, mira a través de la ventana el bar de siempre, con los parroquianos conocidos, entre ellos el camello que le suministraba la droga y le espera, su exjefe Schwiefka le recuerda todos los días que es le el mejor croupier de los contornos y debe volver a repartir los naipes en las partidas nocturnas que organiza en su local. Y en casa le espera su desequilibrada novia, Zosh -Eleanor Parker-, manipuladora, se encarga de recordarle que está impedida por un accidente de tráfico que él provocó por conducir bebido. Ante ese panorama, Frankie lo tiene difícil para reconducir su vida, él quiere triunfar tocando la batería en una banda de jazz, el tiempo a la sombra le ha servido para demostrar que tiene el brazo de oro, sabe utilizar las baquetas con compás y está dispuesto a demostrarlo en su primera audición. Así se lo cuenta a su amigo Sparrow -Arnold Stang-, tan fiel como los perros con que trapichea, y a Molly – una joven Kim Novak-, un romance anterior del que Frankie sigue enamorado. A pesar de no ser aprobada por el consejo censor, por la problemática de las drogas, el austriaco Preminger siguió adelante con este proyecto basado en la novela de Nelson Algren. El tono general del film pierde verosimilitud en algunos momentos en parte por los decorados utilizados, casi todas las secuencias están rodadas en estudio. Aún así, el genio del director se hace notar en sus habituales planos largos y medios, con hábiles desplazamientos. A recordar momentos como la salida del casino de Molly y su contoneo egregio hasta llegar a su apartamento, la cámara hace un escorzo hacia atrás y nos presenta a Frankie ensayando en la batería, quien no recibiría a Kim Novak con un redoble de platillos. La superación individual de un tipo con pocas posibilidades, el giro de guion final no aparecía en la novela original de Algren, Preminger quiso aportar algo de luz tras tanto fracaso y desesperación. En una escena final sorprendente la neurótica Zosh se aferrará a su grotesco silbato por última vez. Esta noche nos refugiamos en la partitura de Elmer Bernstein para olvidar los vicios de la calle…

In his mesmerizing feature documentary film, ALGREN, Michael Caplan drops us into the gritty world, brilliant mind, and noble heart of writer Nelson Algren. Exploding onto the national scene in 1950 after winning the first-ever National Book Award for The Man with the Golden Arm, Algren defined post-war American urban fiction with his brilliant depiction of working class Chicago. Hemingway declared him second only to Faulkner; Vonnegut dubbed him a literary groundbreaker. Hollywood soon came calling, immortalizing his breakout novel with none other than Frank Sinatra in the lead role. Algren even won a notorious place in both the heart and work of France's premiere feminist, Simone de Beauvoir. Including never-before-seen archival footage, newly uncovered audio recordings and his own rarely seen, personal photo collages, ALGREN charts the rise and fall of a man whose transgressions, compassion and thirst for justice pushed him to dedicate his life and career to giving a voice to the voiceless. Through interviews with Algren's friends, literary experts and artists – including William Friedkin, Russell Banks, Philip Kaufman, Billy Corgan and John Sayles – the film is an intimate, witty and even antagonistic portrait of a tireless champion of America's most marginalized. Director Michael Caplan (Stones from the Soil) joins us for a conversation on what inspired him to explore the world of a groundbreaking, deeply American writer who has never reached the level of recognition and acclaim of his literary brethren.

Over the course of his unpublished career, Gunthar Fleck has written not only an impressive number of emails as a Finance professional, but volumes of creative writing which have unceremoniously found their way to a trash can on Chicago's Blue Line. Much more has been conceived since that devastating moment, with his largest debut coming from a Yelp review of the local “Rock N' Roll” McDonalds; garnering a "critical masterpiece" response within the underground of Chicago's River North Neighborhood. Gunthar lives in Chicago by way of Atlanta. He draws on artistic influences from a multitude of mediums including Nelson Algren, Father John Misty, Anthony Bourdain, Mark Normand, and Jonah Hill. When he is not working or writing you can find him sitting in his favorite seat at the corner of his favorite bar, Rocks in River North Chicago.

"A certain ruthlessness and a sense of alienation from society is as essential to creative writing as it is to armed robbery." -- Nelson Algren, born on this day in Detroit, 1909.

First broadcast on December 01, 1962. Studs Terkel plays interview clips of actors [Marcello Mastroianni and Alain Cuny] and the director Federico Fellini discussing their film "La Dolce Vita" and the character Steiner. At the beginning of the program Studs Terkel interviews Nelson Algren, a writer, and Mario Devecki (a person who made the film "La Dolce Vita" happen) about La Dolce Vita and Steiner.

"Je rangerai la maison, je serai une bonne épouse, je ferai la vaisselle et même la cuisine…" Aussi surprenant que cela puisse paraître, c'est la théoricienne du féminisme Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986) qui écrit ses mots. En 1947, alors qu'elle se trouve aux États-Unis pour donner une série de conférences sur l'existentialisme, elle rencontre l'écrivain américain Nelson Algren (1909-1981).

The path to riches is not often associated with journalism, but in the case of George Ade, writing for Chicago newspapers was his road to wealth and fame. Ade, (1866-1944) who was born and raised in Kentland, Indiana, attended Purdue University and then came to Chicago to work as a reporter in the heydays of newspapers. Today George Ade is rarely remembered, with his books out of print, and decades since his musical comedies were performed. But from the 1890s to the early 20th century, he was compared to Mark Twain, a friend of his, and had not just one, but two hit plays on Broadway at the same time. Ade earned so much money from his successful books, plays and syndicated newspaper columns, he built an English Tutor on a 400-acre estate in Indiana, named Hazelden. There Ade threw big parties and was visited there by U.S. Presidents such as Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Calvin Coolidge. In fact, Taft began his Presidential campaign of 1908 from Hazelden. Ade's name lives on through his philanthropy, like the donation of 65 acres, with fellow alum David E. Ross, to Purdue University, for a football stadium in 1924, which is now known as Ross-Ade Stadium. What was true then about Ade's writing is also true now, and that is Ade's stories are hilarious. His final book “The Old Time Saloon” (1931) is laugh-out-loud funny and a recent edition from the University of Chicago Press is annotated by Bill Savage. Bill Savage, Ph.D. is a professor of English at Northwestern University and our guide through not only the work “The Old-Time Saloon: Not Wet - Not Dry, Just History” and this podcast. Dr. Savage paints a picture of the Chicago Ade knew from the high-class Saloons downtown to the more seedy establishments frequented by his friend, Finely Peter Dunne, whose literary bartender, Martin T. Dooley, delighted a nation with his quips. Writers like Ade and Dunne started out as journalists, and along the way captured the rhythms of speech and the vernacular of the working man, and in doing so gave birth to a new type of literature. A style practiced later by authors such as James Farrell, Nelson Algren, Mike Royko and Stuart Dybek. We hope you will enjoy this dive into Chicago's literary and drinking past.

La relación de la autora francesa con el genio Jean-Paul Sartre mantiene en segundo plano el amor profundo que ella sintió por el estadounidense Nelson Algren, y del cual dejó testimonio en sus memorias: un conjunto de cartas que denuncia su enamoramiento, pero también sus propias ideas sobre el amor romántico.

There is one story well-known throughout the world about the Windy City and a cow kicking over a lantern that set the Great Chicago Fire in motion.  The fact that the story of Catherine O'Leary's cow is totally false seems not to matter, as this wrong-headed legend continues to perpetuate itself with the general public.  As the newspaper editor Dutton Peabody says in the 1952 film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, “when the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” And so it is, a hundred and fifty years later, Mrs. O’Leary and her cow live on in popular culture.  The events of the evening of October 8th, 1871 would be the culmination of a prolonged hot, dry summer in the Midwest, and when Chicago began to burn, there were fires burning in several other places as well.  However. Chicago and the legend of Mrs. O’Leary’s cow eclipsed the reporting of the other fires, and stuck in the popular imagination.  The Great Chicago Fire became the second star on the flag of Chicago, a marked tragedy, as approximately one-third of the residents lost their homes and the more than 300 who lost their lives.  But the fire was also considered a beginning for Chicago, a reset, a blank slate -- that would allow the city’s business leaders and architects to imagine a new and better Chicago to rise from the ashes like a great phoenix. In this episode, the Windy City Historians interview William Pack, a historian and author of “The Essential Great Chicago Fire” (2015) to recount the events of that faithful Sunday night when smoke was spotted southwest of the city center, near the intersection of Jefferson and DeKoven Streets.  It is an illuminating story of mistakes, delays, human error, and heroism, and a transformative event for the young city on the prairie that became the "City on the Make" as later chronicled by Nelson Algren.  Two days after the fire co-owner and managing editor of the Chicago Tribune Joseph Medill wrote, “We have lost money, but we have saved life, health, vigor and industry.  Let the watchword henceforth be Chicago shall rise again!” In December of that year Medill would be elected mayor of the City of Chicago as a candidate of the "fireproof" party serving two terms from 1871 to 1873.

Unfortunately, I can no longer provide transcription show notes, but will resume doing so when finances allow. I have tried to note at what time various discussion topics come up in include a few teaser quotes from the interview. "I grew up on the far West Side of Chicago, and that was the world that I grew up within. ... During that time, there was a lot of economic turmoil going on in the Seventies, and I witnessed it. A lot of racial turmoil, as well, and I witnessed all of that, and that has put a mark on me. I have difficulty writing about anything else." "Although I'm certainly glad that [North and Central is] looked upon as a noir novel---it captures that time and so forth---I think of it as a metaphor for the system itself. A lot of what we're experiencing right now. A lot of low-paying jobs, a lot of people without any real ... well, without a lot of hope." "Human beings like to think they're in control, but in reality, as we found out recently, you're not in control. And so we scramble to find some kind of control when we really don't have it. ... So, we're constantly trying to do that, but in reality, sometimes the situation ... you have no control." About the influence of Chicago writer, Nelson Algren: "When I read his books, I saw somebody who was looking at a neighborhood and actually writing about people who aren't represented in fiction very often and captured it very well. ... Even the minor character, if you were to follow that character, if you were to follow that character out the door, you would be experiencing a story that might just be as compelling as the one you're reading. That's tough to do, and Algren did it very well. If you're saying I've come close to it, that's great." There's more where that came from! :) Check out the podcast!

“No se nace mujer, sino que se hace, se deviene mujer. Así pues, la pasividad que caracteriza esencialmente a la mujer “femenina” es un rasgo que se desarrolla en ella desde los primeros años. Pero es falso pretender que se trata de una circunstancia biológica; en realidad, se trata de un destino que le ha sido impuesto por sus educadores y por la sociedad”. “El Segundo Sexo”. Simone de Beauvoir. Una de sus jóvenes amantes, Nathalie, dijo de ella que era como un reloj dentro de una nevera. Nathalie se sentía despechada porque Simone de Beauvoir no le daba todo el amor que ella pedía, pero aún así se diría que atinó con el símil. Simone, el Castor, que gravitó sobre generaciones de mujeres con su rotundo ejemplo de fuerza e independencia, era al parecer así en su vida privada: laboriosa, precisa, congelada. Implacable en la construcción de su vida y en su relación con los demás. Simone de Beauvoir nació en 1.908 en París en una familia de la alta burguesía con ínfulas de rancia aristocracia. También ella, como tantos otros escritores, probó en su infancia el sabor de la decadencia. En su caso fue espectacular y muy literaria, con un abuelo banquero que declaró una bancarrota fraudulenta y que pasó quince meses en la cárcel, con el medio burgués dándole la espalda a la familia, con Simone y sus padres mudándose a un piso miserable que ni tan siquiera tenía agua corriente y en el cual hubieron de prescindir de la servidumbre. El padre era un tipo derechista y frustrado que inculcó a sus dos hijas un ridículo sentimiento de superioridad, el patético desdén por la humanidad del aristócrata más pobre que una rata. Con el tiempo Simone se rebeló contra los valores burgueses de su entorno, pero siempre conservó ese sentido elitista de la existencia. Porque Simone era altiva y se creía superior a casi todo el mundo. No a Sartre, por supuesto, a quién veneraba probablemente muy por encima de sus merecimientos. Cuando se presentaron los dos , ella con 21años, él con 24, al examen final de filosofía, Sartre sacó el primer puesto y Simone el segundo, pero los miembros del tribunal estaban convencidos de que la verdadera filosofa era ella. Sartre fue siempre mucho más creativo, Simone más rigurosa. Probablemente ella debía debido dedicarse más al ensayo que a la narrativa, pues sus novelas son muy flojas, pero en una de sus pocas debilidades tradicionalmente femeninas, siempre consideró que la grandeza del pensamiento le correspondía a Sartre y que ella ocupaba un lugar subsidiario. Una vez, estando en pleno y ardiente romance con Nelson Algren, el escritor norteamericano que fue su gran amor de la madurez, Simone le dejó plantado para volverse a Francia: Sartre quería que le ayudara a corregir el manuscrito de uno de sus libros filosóficos; nada, ni tú, ni mi vida, ni mi propia obra está por encima de la obra de Sartre, le dijo entonces Simone al estupefacto Algren. Y regresó a París, para encontrarse allí con que Sartre se había ido de vacaciones con su amante de turno. En su entrega, en su aceptación del papel sustancial del hombre elegido, Simone cumplió su herencia cultural, las antiguas normas de su sexo. Pero lo formidable en su caso, lo que hizo que se convirtiera en un nuevo símbolo para la mujer, fue su capacidad para construirse como persona; Simone de Beauvoir enseñó que la mujer podía “ser” por sí misma, además de “estar con”. Sin duda Simone dio este salto gracias a su ingente voluntad, a su disciplina y a su esfuerzo, pero también gracias a las condiciones de su época, porque vivió su adolescencia en los años veinte, después de una guerra, la Iª Guerra Mundial, que había acabado con la sociedad del siglo XIX. En Rusia los bolcheviques parecían estar inventándose el futuro, el mundo era un lugar vertiginoso, la revolución tecnológica cambiaba la faz de la Tierra como un viento de fuego. En medio de esa mudanza había aparecido un nuevo tipo de mujer, la chica emancipada y liberada, dos palabras de moda. Se acabaron los corsés, las enaguas hasta los tobillos, los refajos; las muchachas se cortaban el pelo a lo garçon, llevaban las piernas al aire, eran fuertes y atléticas, jugaban al tenis, conducían coches descapotables, pilotaban peligrosas avionetas. Eran los febriles años veinte, los crispados e intensos años treinta, tiempos de renovación en los que la sociedad se pensaba a sí misma, buscando nuevas formas de ser. Había que acabar con la tradicional moral burguesa y en el ardor de aquellos años se pusieron en práctica todos los excesos que luego volverían a ensayarse, como si fueran nuevos, en los años sesenta: el amor libre, las drogas, la contracultura. El pulso de la época se manifestaba con toda su intensidad en Montparnasse, el barrio parisino donde Simone residió toda su vida. Por allí habían pasado Trotski, Lenin, Modigliani; por allí anduvieron los cubistas, con Picasso a la cabeza, y los surrealistas , Bretón y Aragón, una tropa bárbara y risueña que se dedicaba a reventar funciones teatrales y a darse de mamporros contra los bien pensantes en cenas y actos públicos: practicaban una suerte de terrorismo urbano. La cocaína corría por los bares, se experimentaba con la psicodelia, se tomaban anfetaminas, se bebía mucho. Tanto Simone como Jean Paul se excedieron con los estimulantes y sobre todo con el alcohol, lo que provocó el abrupto y prematuro envejecimiento de él; cuando Simone murió, a los 78 años tenía cirrosis. Sartre y Simone fueron almas gemelas: narcisistas, egocéntricos, elitistas, insufriblemente megalómanos; ella escribió que “ambos estaban juntos en el centro del mundo que debían explorar y revelar como misión prioritaria de sus vidas”. Esa misión se desarrollaba a través de las palabras. Palabras escritas en una infinidad de libros, ensayos, artículos, y en una correspondencia maniática e interminable. Grandes palabras con las que construyeron mundos y también palabras mezquinas, banales, mentirosas; indecentes y crueles palabras que han salido a la luz, tras la muerte de ambos, con la publicación de sus cartas diarios íntimos. Y es que hay dos Simones, dos Sartres; una la de que fueron esos grandes intelectuales iconoclastas y comprometidos; otra, la Simone y el Jean Paul privados que han ido emergiendo con la publicación de póstuma de los papeles íntimos. Se supo así que Sartre era un donjuán compulsivo y patético que necesitaba conquistar absolutamente a todas las mujeres, a las cuales inundaba de cartas amorosas con repetitivas frases, de torpe énfasis, escritas el mismo día en misivas distintas para las diversas amantes que simultaneaba de forma clandestina. También Simone mantenía relaciones bisexuales con diversos amantes que, a menudo, compartía con el propio Sartre y que eran generalmente alumnos y alumnas jóvenes, rendidos admiradores de la pareja. Ambos, después de jurar pasiones arrebatadas, las despellejaban con total frialdad, como indica la lectura de las cartas y los diarios íntimos de ambos dibujando un retrato que, en el peor de los casos les hacen parecer colegas de cuartel compartiendo la sucia gloria de las conquistas; en el mejor, entomólogos fríos y feroces capaces de diseccionar todas las vidas como mera materia literaria. Con el tiempo Simone y Sartre se fueron alejando el uno del otro. Ambos acabaron sus vidas con mujeres a quienes llevaban más de treinta años: Arlette en el caso de él, Sylvie en el de ella, y a quienes adoptaron legalmente. Los siete últimos años de Sartre fueron malos para él: estaba ciego y mentalmente afectado. Simone contó a sus biógrafos los últimos instantes de Sartre: “estaba en la cama del hospital y, sin abrir los ojos, dijo: “la amo mucho, mi querida Castor”, y le ofreció los labios, que ella besó; y luego se durmió y murió”. Pero la cosa no fue así: fue Arlette quien estaba con Sartre cuando este murió. Simone llegó después e intento meterse en la cama con el cadáver. Simone de Beauvoir sólo sobrevivió seis años a su mítica pareja; murió en 1.986. En 1.990, Sylvie, su hija adoptiva, sacó la edición integra de esas cartas personales de Simone tan turbias y tan míseras. ¿Por qué decidiría publicarlas? ¿Por amor al recuerdo de Simone?¿Por dinero?¿Por venganza?. Nada se sabe de la relación de Sylvie con Simone, que se extendió durante los últimos veintitrés años de la vida de la escritora y que Beauvoir comparó a veces con su relación con Sartre; pero lo cierto es que la publicación de sus papeles privados ensuciaron el mito de la autora. Ella que tanto aireó impúdicamente las intimidades de los demás, se convirtió de pronto en objeto de impúdico cotilleo: tal vez fuera un caso de justicia poética. Sea como fuere, ahora su imagen es más compleja y más humana: porque todos tenemos vergüenzas e incoherencias que ocultar en nuestra vida privada. Y al final, entre tanta gloria y tanta miseria, lo que queda es la magnífica proeza de haber sido libre y responsable de su propio destino. Para bien y para mal, Simone de Beauvoir se hizo a sí misma.

Few people in the history of radio accessed more areas of the human spirit than the great Chicago free-spirit and oral historian Studs Terkel. ELFM’s Peter Spafford talks with Tony Macaluso about his experiences helping build the digital archive of 5,600 radio programmes created by Studs Terkel after he died at the age of 96 in 2008. Terkel chose as his epitaph, “Curiosity did not kill this cat!” and this radio programme celebrates his ever impertinent spirit with snippets of conversations with blues musician Big Bill Broonzy, gospel singer Mahalia Jackson, writers James Baldwin and Nelson Algren and reflections on loving a city that can never love you.

“There's people in hell who want ice water.” That is a quote from the novel "The Man With The Golden Arm," by author Nelson Algren. "Wanting Ice Water" describes how I felt many times as I worked to survive horrible bosses and struggled with sexism and racism and all the other "isms". I used to joke, we must have died and gone to hell, cause this really sucks. Many of us who broke barriers in the last Century believed we were doing it for our daughters and sons who are now working in this Century. Funny how little things change.  No. it's not funny, but I try to find humor in all things otherwise I will go mad at the injustice of it all.  I am writing a short series of blogs, podcasts and producing videos on surviving toxic workplaces and toxic people. I am using examples from my career in an effort to help all you young ladies and gents who are struggling on the job with all the things I struggled with. Here's the difference. I did all the wrong things. My advice and the content I'm creating will help you avoid some of my stupid mistakes. I hope.  And so we begin.  Thank you, YouTube for the royalty free music: Title: Sax by MBB Genre and Mood: Dance & Electronic · Happy Free Download: http://bit.ly/Sax-MBB ––– • License: YOU’RE FREE TO USE THIS SONG IN ANY OF YOUR YOUTUBE VIDEOS, BUT YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING IN YOUR VIDEO DESCRIPTION (COPY & PASTE): Sax by MBB https://soundcloud.com/mbbofficial Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/Sax-MBB Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/nnEq3EIFzdw

Dan and Eric talk about how tired they tend to get every April; Toobin's reporting on William Barr (is he just doing Trump's bidding?  All signs point to yes.); Jonathan Dee's excellent review of a Nelson Algren biography; Pat Barker and her harrowing yet witty short story; the Isaac Chotiner/Bret Easton Ellis interview that went viral; and Hilton Als' very critical review of Sam Gold's production of King Lear.

Mary Reynard is a longtime actor and acting coach living in Los Angeles. Phil Circle and Mary met through the Chicago Actors Studio, where she was teaching for some time and whose founder is a student of Mary's late husband, the great Ted Liss. After Mary gives a little run down of her fascinating history surrounded by icons, she and Phil move into a discussion about music and acting, coaching in these professions, and ultimately how the techniques learned to master these performing arts can be beneficial to performing well in life as a human being. This was recorded over dinner at Corky's Restaurant in Sherman Oaks, California, after Mary spent the afternoon observing Phil's recording session for a new album with Ted Wulfers (Episode 3). This was recorded on March 6th, 2019. The album Phil was recording released the following month. The song Mary was watching Phil and Ted work on was Lava.

This week, as we continue our adventure through the 90s, we're discussing both the winner and runner-up stories from 1991's Nelson Algren Prize, sponsored by the Chicago Tribune. Tom Barbash won for his story, "Howling at the Moon," and Patricia Stevens came in second for her story, "Leaving Fort Ord." Barbash would go on to publish a few books, while Stevens seems to have mostly left fiction behind. Also this week, we revisit a piece by Jacob Weisberg that called out a couple big-name editors for not doing their jobs--which caused some serious blowback in the publishing industry. Plus a mysterious death, a big year for video games, and much, much more. Thanks for listening!

He's a big fan of our show and has listened to a number of past episodes that he's told us are terrific. High praise from a master interviewer who was a close friend of Studs Terkel and is carrying on in his brilliant tradition. Rick says he may be our only guest so far who has gotten drunk in the original Booth One at the Pump Room back when real movie stars sat there. Check out the list here. Rick talks about growing up in a remarkable family - his father, legendary author and journalist Herman Kogan; his mother, reporter and publicist Marilew; and his brother, major league rock band tour manager Mark. He tells us an amazing story about Mark, Elvis and Sinatra. Their parents met at Riccardo's, a restaurant behind the Wrigley Building, and he is named Rick (not Richard) after the owner. A legendary hang out for newspaper people, artists, and musicians, our producer spent some time there back in the day just to eavesdrop on the always interesting conversations. He talks about the kind of people who were hanging around his parents' apartment growing up. A list that includes Studs & Ida Terkel, Nelson Algren, Marcel Marceau, and Mort Sahl. Can you imagine? We learn about his early career driving a cab, then moving to Spain and eventually submitting a travel piece about Dover, England to the Tribune, which sold for the then thrilling price of $160. He returned to Chicago and began an incredible career in journalism. Gary announces that on August 1st, the National Comedy Center will open in Jamestown, NY, the birthplace of Lucille Ball. Check out this video that will make you want to visit. Frank is an expert on Lucy, and will probably be going to represent. One of the cool things is that on a touch screen, you create a "sense of humor profile" to personalize your experience. They have acquired the archives of a very impressive array of comedians, including Lenny Bruce and George Carlin. Gary asks Rick about favorite guests on his radio show. He starts with Studs Terkel, who was not just the all-time great interviewer, but also a really fun guest. They talk about the WFMT Studs Terkel archive and Rick describes a favorite - Studs interviewing a very young Bob Dylan. You don't want to miss his spot-on impression of Studs and hilarious summary of the episode. The digital audio of this is not yet public, but will be soon. Rick graciously invites us to come on his radio show, After Hours, which airs on Sunday nights from 9:00 - 11:00pm CST on WGN. What an honor! The boys are excited about this opportunity. A Red Orchid Theatre is currently running a Eugene Ionesco play called Victims of Duty, a lesser known work not often produced. It stars a wonderful group of actors, including Michael Shannon and AROT co-founder Guy Van Swearingen. It's an absurdist play that deals with memories and the concept of "non-theatre". Gary and Frank admit to being somewhat puzzled by the play's themes and structure, but praise the performances and the production design by Danila Korogodsky along with excellent direction by Shira Piven. Running through August 5, this show will keep you laughing, guessing and thinking. And pondering the absurdities of life and love. Rick regales us with tales of baseball, Riverview amusement park, Mike Royko, John Wayne, and Bushman the gorilla. We discuss his fascinating true-crime book Everybody Pays, co-authored with Maurice Possley. A real page-turner and we are hoping destined for a movie deal some day. One of the most generous people we've ever met, Rick tells our listeners that he will send a signed copy of Everybody Pays to anyone who donates $100 or more to the Booth One non-profit. So look for the Donate button on our web site and receive your free book! In addition to writing columns and stories for the Chicago Tribune,

The day had gone badly for Raymond Ambler, a bitterly cold, gray, January day not long after New Year's, the wind like a knife, slicing into the cavern cut by 42nd Street between the skyscrapers on either side. The wind stung his face and whipped under his trench coat as he walked the couple of blocks to the library from Grand Central, where he'd gotten off the subway from the courthouse downtown. Banks of piled-up snow, stained and filthy as only snow on a city street can get, hanging on from the storm the day after Christmas, lined the curb, the gutters on at each street corner a half-foot deep in slush and muddy water.  -- Con Lehane, Murder in the Manuscript Room Murder + libraries is always a winner for me, and author Con Lehane gives us a non-cozy suspense series about Raymond Ambler, curator of crime at the 42nd Street Library. Ahem, I mean curator of crime books, of course. ;) Raymond comes across more than his fair share of bodies -- and lucky for us that he does. In his latest, there is a crime from the past reaching its tentacles into the present, as well as family complications and questions of trust and betrayal. This is Con's second series, and it's just as interesting and complex as his first, The Bartender Brian McNulty Mysteries. In fact, McNulty has a cameo in the 42nd Street Library series as well. After all, there's always a good reason to stop in at a bar. I'm all over the cover art for the US edition of the first in that series, Beware the Solitary Drinker, published by Poisoned Pen Press. It was painted by Fritz Scholder; if you're not familiar with the artist, you can check out his official website here.  Con gives a shout-out to Megan Abbott, who has compared him to Ross Macdonald. So many other writers came up in our chat! They include fellow noir(ish) writer Jason Starr; Macdonald's wife, Margaret Millar; and Con's favorite writer, Nelson Algren, who wrote The Man with the Golden Arm. Fellow writers whom Con admires for melding social problems with crackerjack mysteries include George Pelecanos, S.J. Rozan, Laura Lippman, Michael Connelly, Dennis Lehane, and Walter Mosley. If your TBR list isn't big enough, we also talk about a murder that happened while he was tending bar -- although not in his bar -- and influenced Beware the Solitary Drinker. It was adapted into a novel, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, by Judith Rossner. Finally, one mystery is solved! Con quotes a writer whose name escaped him, but it was, as he thought, the author of The Book of Daniel, E.L. Doctorow. The link takes you to even more of Doctorow's great quotes. Do check out Con's website as well as his Facebook and Twitter feeds if you want to keep tabs on him. Meanwhile, if you'd rather read than listen, as always, a transcript is below. Enjoy! -- Laura ************************************************************************************* Transcript of Interview with Con Lehane Laura Brennan: My guest today is author Con Lehane. Con has been a bartender, labor journalist, union organizer, and college professor. The New York Times has called his Brian McNulty mystery series “cruelly charming” while Megan Abbot dubbed his first Raymond Ambler novel a “masterful tale in the grand tradition of Ross Macdonald.” Con, thank you for joining me. Con Lehane: Well, thank you. LB: Those are some passionate fans, there. CL: Well, I'm very lucky. I've known Megan since her first book. Her first two, three, four were these noir-ish books that were set in the glamorous 40s. Her later books are stand-alones about younger women, girls growing up. I really appreciated her saying that, and I really admire Ross Macdonald. He's sort of my mentor from the past. Maybe I'm too much like him in some ways. LB: I don't think you can be too much like Ross Macdonald, I don't think that's a thing. I think that's good. So, you mentioned noir. There is a very noir feel, especially to your first series.

Legendary photographer and writer Art Shay's work has appeared in LIFE, Time, Sports Illustrated, and many other publications. Our conversation is full of first-hand accounts of some of the most the famous people and events of the 20th century--and local Deerfield history. We learn that Nelson Algren and Billy Corgan often visited Shay in Deerfield and Eleanor Roosevelt and James Baldwin were in town to support a proposed integrated housing development in the late 1950s and early 60s. Shay was part of the Deerfield Citizens for Human Rights, a group supporting integration. We also hear about Shay's interactions with Ernest Hemingway, Elizabeth Taylor, Judy Garland, John F. Kennedy and more! At 95, Shay was recently honored with a lifetime achievement award from the Lucie Foundation and has a current exhibit at the American Writers Museum, Capturing Stories, which features his photographs of authors (through Spring 2018).

Simone de Beauvoir's seminal work, The Second Sex, is a dense two volume work that can be intimidating at first glance, combining philosophy and psychology, and her own observations.

Potlucks, church picnics, fish fries, family reunions — during the 1930s writers were paid by the government to chronicle local food, eating customs and recipes across the United States. America Eats, a WPA project, sent writers like Nelson Algren, Zora Neale Hurston, Eudora Welty, and Stetson Kennedy out to document America’s relationship with food during the Great Depression.

Chicago filmmaker Michael Caplan joins the CWMD mics to talk about writer Nelson Algren and his documentary about him entitled, Algren. They also discuss the working class splendor of Chicago, the genius of Wayne Kramer and why Chicago writers like Studs and Algren are selflessness.

DATA DRIVEN STORYTELLING - "We don't know all that much about our audiences" - Gunther explores the merging of behavioural research and monitoring with new form film, TV branding and it's ultimate effect on storytelling. 'The internet is a giant focus group and we can build applications and services that identify behaviours which can then fuel future projects' and he goes on to say that this is nothing new for product distribution which has developed since the 1950s when understanding what consumers did with new products influenced the next wave - but now this can be done in real time and that knowledge can be used not only by the marketing and distribution channels but by the creatives themselves. But most tools used today whether social media filtering or other crude measurement tools is making it almost impossible for users to find content but also producers to reach them effectively. Using case studies and references to his work with big brands and studios Gunther talks about a future of audience usage AI, semantic automation, advanced monitoring techniques, adaptive development and much more to make the case that storytelling needs to be much more aligned with what users actually need and want - a data/story evolution.
