Es wird spicy! Allerdings nicht bei der literarischen Vorspeise, sondern im Interview mit Dark-Romance-Autorin Alessia Gold. Das Genre boomt wie nie zuvor, in den Buchläden gibt es extra Tische, darauf stapelweise Romane, in denen es um Sex, Gewalt und toxische Beziehungen geht. Die Cover sind düster, oft mit dem Hinweis „ab 18“ versehen, der aber durch silberne Schnörkelschrift und Rosen-Farbschnitt konterkariert wird. Sind die Bücher eine Gefahr für Minderjährige? Was macht den Reiz des Genres aus und wie weit gehen die Autorinnen in ihren expliziten Schilderungen? Ein Thema in dieser Folge. Außerdem gibt es Entdeckungen aus Italien und Malaysia, zwei extra Tipps für Buchladen-Kundinnen und Kinderbuchklassiker als All Time Favourite.

On this week's Book Club podcast we're talking about the best crime writer you've (probably) never heard of. As Penguin reissues three of Josephine Tey's classic Golden Age novels, I'm joined by Nicola Upson, whose own detective stories (most recently Dear Little Corpses) feature Tey as a central character. She tells me about the unique character of Tey's writing, her discreet private life, and about how she made possible the psychological crime fiction that we read now.

NICOLA UPSON chats to Paul Burke about DEAR LITTLE CORPSES, Josephine Tey, Margery Allingham, WWII, Golden Age crime, the Hitchcocks and Gielguds, not so cosy emotions and the fun of writing. DEAR LITTLE CORPSES: It takes a village to bury a child.1 September, 1939. As the mass evacuation takes place across Britain, thousands of children leave London for the countryside, but when a little girl vanishes without trace, the reality of separation becomes more desperate and more deadly for those who love her.In the chaos and uncertainty of war, Josephine struggles with the prospect of change. As a cloud of suspicion falls across the small Suffolk village she has come to love, the conflict becomes personal, and events take a dark and sinister turn.NICOLA UPSON's debut novel, An Expert in Murder, was the first in a series of crime novels whose main character is Josephine Tey, who - along with Agatha Christie - was one of the masters of Britain's Golden Age of crime writing. She was shortlisted for the CWA Historical Dagger in 2018 for Nine Lessons and longlisted in 2021 for The Dead of Winter.

Show notes episode 3 – Common fears and frustrations In this episode of Doing Diversity in Writing, we—Bethany and Mariëlle—discuss some of the fears and frustrations that might come up when writing diverse characters. More specifically, we talk about the following fears:  Representing someone in the wrong way… …and why that shouldn't keep us from trying Taking someone else's voice away by trying to speak for them… …and where we stand in the Own Voices vs. Allies debate Misrepresenting your own community… and why this calls for a multiplicity of voices from each and every community Some quotes from this week's episode: “Not all differences are considered equal. Depending on where we are as a society, and which society you're writing about, some identity markers might carry more charge than others. Which is why some misrepresentations cause more outrage than others, and why we might be more scared of representing this character the wrong way than that character.”   “What we would love to see happen all around us is that people, instead of stepping away from the challenge because something is at stake, lean into the challenge and start taking those steps.”   “There are loads of things that are hard to get right as an author. The feel of a place, of an era, dialogue, how characters interact, character and story arcs that come full circle. Writing diverse characters is just one of those aspects. You don't stop describing a place or cut out all your dialogue because it's hard getting it right or needs more research.”   “Why put all of that labour on those diverse authors when we can actively contribute to creating a more diverse reading experience? Why can we not both create space for diverse authors and their voices WHILE we ourselves are working as hard to turn this world into a better place?”   And here are the (re)sources we mentioned on the show: Nicola Upson's The Death of Lucy Kyte: https://www.faber.co.uk/9780571366415-the-death-of-lucy-kyte.html  Sally Andrew's Recipes for Love and Murder: https://www.sallyandrew.com/recipes-for-love-and-murder  You can find the “Yes, you should be afraid to write ‘diverse' characters” article by Mo Black here:  https://curiosityneverkilledthewriter.com/yes-you-should-be-afraid-to-write-diverse-characters-4a6c482a7379  Joanna Penn's interview with Clare Lydon can be found here: https://www.thecreativepenn.com/2016/06/13/writing-lesbian-fiction The “Writing fictional characters who aren't like you” article by Randy Ingerman can be found here: https://www.advancedfictionwriting.com/blog/2010/10/11/writing-fictional-characters-who-arent-like-you  Mariëlle's My Voice, My Story anthologies: https://mswordsmith.nl/anthologies Claribel A.

Nicola Upson's Josephine Tey mystery series began as research for a biography about a writer who captivated her imagination. . .  and grew into a highly acclaimed long running mystery series centered on the life on one of literature's “lone wolves.” Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and today Nicola talks about why Tey is in a class of her own, how the 20s and 30s are still relevant for 21st century women, and her Cambridge radio show. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: How Nicola became fascinated with Josephine TeyWhy imagination is truer than "facts"Dividing life between Cambridge and CornwallWhy the Between the Wars period was crucial for womenHow a famous painter inspired her latest bookWhy she loves a Virago Classics Where to find Nicola Upson:  Facebook: @NicolaUpsonAuthor  Twitter: @nicolaupsonbook Podcast: The Eclectic Light Show What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions.  Jenny:  Hello there, Nicola, and welcome to the show.  It's great to have you with us. Nicola:  It's great to be here, Jenny.  I can't believe we're actually so far apart, so this is lovely. Nicola Upson mystery author Jenny:  I know.  Technology's a wondrous thing.  It's predictable I know, but I like to begin with that "Once Upon A Time" question.  Was there an epiphany moment where you thought, I've just got to write fiction or my life won't be what it's meant to be?  And if so, what was the catalyst for it? Nicola:  Well, I feel a bit fraudulent about it, Jenny, because there wasn't that sort of moment.  I owe it to Josephine Tey who obviously we are going to come to talk about.  The series really began about 25 years ago when I read her book The Franchise Affair and I thought it was just an extraordinary novel, so different from any of the ones written by her contemporaries and I wanted to find out more about her, because as much as we analyse Tey she has a wonderful characterization, a brilliantly rich sense of place, but there was just that voice.  It's less hard to quantify than those reasons.  And I found out that she, in her lifetime, was known just as well, if not better, as a playwright.  She had several hits on the West End stage, one in particular called Richard of Bordeaux, and I thought it was very strange that somebody who had achieved as much as she had done in those two very different spheres hadn't had a full-length biography written about her.  So that's what I set out to do.  I'd only written non-fiction up to that point, I'd done some arts journalism and an art book and a theater book and it was the Tey biography that I wanted to do.  But as you probably know she was a very private woman, she rolled the carpet of her personal life up quite closely and cleverly behind her and eventually the gaps became as intriguing as the facts.  Josephine Tey - author of brilliance It was actually my partner Mandy who said to me one evening – we were staying in a National Trust holiday cottage on a beautiful Cornish estate and, yes, we had had a glass of wine or two – and she said to me “Oh for God's sake, just make it up” and that really is how the series started – to tell a truthful picture of Tey's life through a series of fictional murder mysteries in the genre that we know and love her best for these days.  So purely by accident to answer your question, and if it weren't for Josephine Tey I don't know that I'd have written fiction at all, let alone as quickly as I did. Jenny:  It's interesting that it seems you really came to truth through imagination rather than fact. Nicola:  Yes, I think that's true.  And for somebody who was as complex and in some ways contrary and contradictory as Josephine Tey was – as you probably know Josephine Tey wasn't her real name, her real name was Elizabeth Macintosh, but she also had another pseudonym, Gordon Daviot,

We feature an interview with Nicola Upson who is a British novelist, author of An Expert in Murder, and several other novels featuring a fictional version of Josephine Tey as the heroine and detective.
