‘Every morning, she wakes up to the 18th of November. She no longer expects to wake up to the 19th of November, and she no longer remembers the 17th of November as if it were yesterday.'Solvej Balle's septology On the Calculation of Volume (Faber), thirty years in the making, was published in Danish by the author's own press to huge and universal acclaim: ‘Absolutely, absolutely incredible' (Karl Ove Knausgaard); ‘Unforgettable' (Hernan Díaz); ‘A total explosion' (Nicole Krauss). Now Faber has brought the first two volumes of her masterpiece to an anglophone readership in a vibrant translation by Barbara J. Haveland, the first of which has been nominated for this year's International Booker Prize.Balle was joined in conversation by novelist and critic Chris Power.Get the books: https://www.londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/on-the-calculation-of-volume-i-absolutely-absolutely-incredible.-knausgard-solvej-balleFind more events at the Bookshop: https://lrb.me/eventspod Hosted on Acast.

Are you intervening in bothersome situations? Or is Michelle the only one ready to save us all? Like in this story where a lifeguard asks a mom to “cover up” her toddler's “nudity”!!!??? wtf.

Tal Zur on the language of crochet, trust and creating social impact through design

Tal Zur is a trained industrial designer who lectures at the Holon Institute of Technology. She is also the co-founder of Iota Project, a Tel Aviv-based lifestyle start-up with the goal to create social impact through design. At the core of this enterprise is an ancient technology, or rather, a technique: crochet.In this interview, Tal talks to Anne about how she came to study industrial design, curatorship and patisserie (an eclectic combination), how she chose to move away from working in fashion and, while she was considering the next steps in her career, how she had a serendipitous connection with her co-founder, Shula Mozes, the one to brainstorm the idea of crochet as the basis for their social mission. Tal explains how industrial design is like a methodology and how she became inclined to approach crochet in a modern way, all the while drawing on old Greek doilies as inspiration. As she tells it, crochet can be communicated and replicated like one could a piece of music, and that's how Iota Project is able to share design drawings with women and collaborate with skilled communities over several countries. Anne and Tal also discuss the meaning and importance of slow design, and how Iota Project aims to create sustainable social impact by being a platform for change, which includes putting the opportunity in the hands of the consumers, designers, architects and other entities that will engage with their products. The two finish by talking about how Tal approaches her life as a mother (of three!) while being an entrepreneur, the importance of trust and not micromanaging when working remotely, and how teaching in front of design students twice a week is a bubble that keeps her feeling creatively connected. A very inspiring interview with a compelling and fascinating woman.

Extraits de l’entretien « La découverte de l’écriture, du style de Virginia Woolf c’était entrer dans une littérature de l’invisible » « Je pense que j’ai eu envie d’écrire en lisant. Aujourd’hui c’est toujours le cas : j’ai vraiment besoin d’être dans une énergie de lectrice pour écrire. » « Je lis avec un engagement qui est celui d’un dialogue. Je lis ce que quelqu’un a écrit, ce qu’il cherche à me dire, et je lui réponds, je communique ; et parfois je lui réponds sur la page (…) ça déclenche de l’écriture » « Mon rapport au livre reste sauvage et intime, il est pas tout à fait social (…) C’est assez rare qu’on partage réellement ce qui se passe pour moi avec les livres. J’ai l’impression de discussions un peu autour, à côté. Mais c’est très rare qu’on parvienne à cette espèce de zone invisible, intime, étrange qui est la zone de la lecture » « J’offre des livres pour faire signe vers le fait que je devine que la personne en face partage des choses avec moi mais qu'on n’en parlera pas, ou on en parlera par des déviations ; mais via le livre on peut s’en parler » « Ada de Vladimir Nabokov reste à ce jour mon livre préféré : c’est à dire que c’est celui qui me déclenche le plus. Il y a vraiment cette idée que si les livres sont forts, ils nous déclenchent, ils me ré-énergisent, ils me mettent dans une disposition vitale : je me sens plus vivante (…) Quelques auteurs/livres cités dans cet épisode La Comtesse de Ségur (Mémoires d’un âne) Marcel Proust (La recherche du temps perdu) James Joyce (Ulysse) Moi Christiane F 13 ans, droguée, prostituée Daniel Pennac (Monsieur Malaussène) Virginia Woolf (Les vagues) Jean Rouaud (Les champs d’honneur) Nastassja Martin (Croire aux fauves) Philippe Forest (Après tout) Stefan Zweig (Le monde d’hier) Richard Ford (Canada) Vladimir Nabokov (Ada ou l’ardeur) Robert Antelme (L’espère humaine) Mais aussi Annie Ernaux, Eric Chevillard, Pierre Bourdieu, Henri Miller, Anaïs Nin, Nicolas Mathieu, Nicole Krauss, Robert Musil, Maggie Nelson...

Is this good enough for me to stay the same? This is the life-saving question Laura McKowen, author of We Are the Luckiest + one of the foremost voices in the modern recovery movement, asked herself. From a horrific DWI to the painful incident that left her 4-year-old daughter in danger, Laura shares her personal journey in choosing sobriety with the utmost vulnerability + candor.   But this is more than just one person's journey of using addiction as an invitation to living more intentionally. Today's powerful and thought-provoking conversation will inspire you to practice self-forgiveness and free yourself of shame and guilt.  SHOW NOTES: Writing a letter to "2012 Laura": Laura started blogging about her journey to sobriety, not for others but to heal herself. During her college going-away party, Laura recalls freely drink around her family and how the buzz finally allowed her to cope with the struggles she was facing. Laura would chase opportunities and social situations to drink and even gravitated towards a career in the booze-laden advertising industry. While not always problematic, drinking allowed Laura be free and get the love + attention she wanted. The wake-up call: It wasn't after a horrific DWI, but when Laura left her 4-year-old daughter alone in a hotel room overnight that Laura knew she had to make a change.  The natural question with alcohol addiction is “Is this bad enough that I have to change?” but Laura feels the question should be "Is this good enough for me to stay the same?", followed by "Are you free?" "My worst nightmares happened and I created them." Laura shares how she's been able to move past shame + guilt towards mercy. Our pain, obstacles, and struggles are invitations to a bigger life. If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you. - Gospel of Thomas Be honest: Laura encourages those struggling with addiction to share their struggle with another person. Get Laura McKowen's We Are the Luckiest here. If you found today's episode inspiring, you'll enjoy my conversation with Fr. Tom Hoar. On Live Inspired Podcast ep. 134, Fr. Tom shares his own stories of redemption + healing - including his own - through the poignant question "have you had enough?" LAURA MCKOWEN'S LIVE INSPIRED 7 1. What is the best book you’ve ever read? The History of Love by Nicole Krauss. 2. What is a characteristic or trait that you possessed as a child that you wish you still exhibited today? Playfulness. 3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? A painting from my late-grandma. 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? Poet Mary Oliver. She was the master of paying attention and exquisite way of turning the very mundane into the profound. Her poems have saved my life. 5. What is the best advice you’ve ever received?  It's okay to practice. You're not performing all the time. 6. What advice would you give your 20-year-old self? My instinct is to say, "you don't need to drink" but I'm so grateful I went down the path I did. I'd tell her "you're going to be loved." 7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read? Less me.

I tend to buy most of my books at library book sales, used bookstores, etc, where there are a lot of random books in a big mish-mash. It makes me sad when I see a favorite but lesser-known book in a pile, being passed over again and again for new hyped up releases. I’d love to know, if you were at a used bookstore, what would be the book that would make you want to pull it out of the pile and hold it up like Simba in The Lion King while announcing to everyone “this is the one! Please take this one home!” -Nicole 2. I am thinking about moving to Manchester, England to start a graduate program in September, so I am looking for contemporary fiction or nonfiction books set in Manchester that would give me insight into the city and introduce me to writers from the region. Since I cannot visit the city before starting the program I think reading could help calm my nerves a bit (as it tends to do). When I lived in Paris I read 4 3 2 1 by Paul Auster and really enjoyed the Parisian and literary references. I have read novels set in other European cities but would really appreciate recommendations specific to Manchester. It would be a nice addition if one of the recommendations had a non-white, non-male protagonist and author. Thank you! I really enjoy listening to the podcast and expanding my TBR pile. -Megan 3. Hi Amanda and Jenn. Hoping you can smash another recommendation for me. I recently bought my friend’s daughter the Phoebe the Unicorn books and successfully turned a tentative reader into a certified book worm. She even posted me her own little thank you note, it was the cutest. I’m keen to get her some new books to keep up the streak. She comes from an extended family where she is surrounded by young mums and examples of motherhood and homemaking, and while this is lovely, I know her mum is keen to make sure she knows that having children is not the only path available to her. Could you recommend some books to keep her inspired, whatever her path may be. I particularly want to combat the kind of troubling comments I know she’s come up against already in her young life, such as ‘little boys become doctors, little girls become nurses’

Tom Malmquist är tillbaka efter den hyllade "I varje ögonblick är vi fortfarande vid liv" om hur han förlorade sin livskamrat och blev pappa samma vecka. Och så har vi ringt Nicole Krauss i Brooklyn. Poeten och författaren Tom Malmquist gjorde en kritikerrosad romandebut med boken I varje ögonblick är vi fortfarande vid liv. Den handlade om när han blev ensam kvar med sin nyfödda dotter när barnets mamma dog strax efter förlossningen. Den nya boken heter All den luft som omger oss och även den cirklar kring detta trauma, men det är också en berättelse om ett mord på en mycket ensam man Mikael K i Huddinge 1991. En verklig händelse som gjort stora avtryck i författarens inre. Tom Malmquist har tidigare gett ut två diktsamlingar också "Sudden Death" och "Fadersmjölken". Och så har vi har pratat med den amerikanska författaren Nicole Krauss hemma i huset i Brooklyn. Hennes nya bok heter Dunkel skog och handlar på ett raffinerat sätt om en skilsmässa, kanske hennes egen. Men också om hur författarjaget hittar Franz Kafkas efterlämnade manuskript när hon åker till Israel för att försöka häva sin skrivkramp. Nicole Krauss var tidigare gift med författaren Jonathan Safran Foer, och var alltså part i det ena av den högkulturella stadsdelens två litterära power-par (för nyfikna: det andra är Paul Aster och Siri Hustvedt...). Nicole Krauss debuterade med "Man utan minne" och har även skrivit romarena "Kärlekens historia" och "Det stora huset".   Programledare: Marie Lundström Producent: Nina Asarnoj

When Women Win
From Corporate Veteran to Entrepreneur - Amira Rashad

When Women Win

A working mum, Amira felt like there were not enough hours in the day - and grocery shopping was the last thing she wanted to do in her precious time. So she built an online platform to order groceries in bulk. Prior to starting BulkWhiz, Amira had 25 years’ experience in leadership, strategy, operations and marketing across a variety of sectors - having worked at Yahoo, Pepsico and Booz Allen. Most recently she was the Head of Brand for Facebook Middle East & North Africa. Amira is a Harvard Business School Graduate and sits on the board of Tech Wadi in Silicon Valley. We discussed Amira’s diverse experiences in the corporate world and how they prepared her for entrepreneurship. She busted a myth about the average age of entrepreneurs! We talked about why Amira decided to leave a cool, stable corporate job to create BulkWhiz and the hurdles she faced in doing it. We got her advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, and an explanation of “the moment of truth” for your product. We discussed various challenges women face in the workplace and the expectations placed on all of us. Finally, we touched on Amira’s creative writing and what makes her happy. My favourite quote was when Amira shared a famous saying in the advertising world. “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half”. The quote is attributed to John Wanamaker, considered by many to be the father of modern advertising. Amira's book recommendation was The History of Love by Nicole Krauss, something for me to add to my fiction to-read list. You can find Amira on her Instagram page and find BulkWhiz here. For those of you interested in learning more about the entrepreneurial journey, this is the Harvard Business School Case Study on BulkWhiz.

Ten years ago she was chosen as one of Granta's Best Young American Novelists. Now her first book for 7 years, Forest Dark, is published: a contemplation of identity and shaking off the stories we tell about ourselves. She talks about the novel's characters including 68-year-old former New York lawyer Epstein... and a novelist called Nicole. The Market Theatre is bringing its award-winning production of The Suitcase from Johannesburg to Hull and the northeast. It's about a young couple who leave their village hoping for a better life in Durban. It doesn't work out and when the husband steals a suitcase - with no idea what's inside - life really unravels.

Reputations (Riverhead Books) Winner of several of the world’s most prestigious fiction prizes, including the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, Spain’s Alfaguara Novel Prize, France’s Roger Caillois Award, and Italy’s Premio von Rezzori, and published in twenty-six countries and counting, Juan Gabriel Vásquez is one of the most celebrated writers alive today.With the support of Anne McLean’s brilliant translation, Vásquez’s arresting prose is on full display as he examines the construction of public identity, the burden of memory, and the intersection of the personal and the political, all within the bounds of this taut, electrifying page-turner, Reputations.  Javier Mallarino is a living legend. He is his country's most influential political cartoonist, the consciousness of a nation. A man capable of repealing laws, overturning judges' decisions, destroying politicians' careers with his art. His weapons are pen and ink. Those in power fear him and pay him homage. At sixty-five, after four decades of a brilliant career, he's at the height of his powers. But this all changes when he's paid an unexpected visit from a young woman who upends his sense of personal history and forces him to re-evaluate his life and work, questioning his position in the world.  In Reputations, Juan Gabriel Vasquez examines the weight of the past, how a public persona intersects with private histories, and the burdens and surprises of memory. In this intimate novel, Vasquez plumbs universal experiences to create a masterful story, one that reverberates long after you turn the final page. Praise for Reputations "Vasquez, who likely came to your attention with 2010's scathing The Informers and certainly made your reading list with The Sound of Things Falling, the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award winner, returns with a reverberant new work about a life suddenly challenged."--Library Journal  "The narrative escalates, the mystery deepens, and the scope of the story widens with each page. This terrific novel draws on Colombia's tragic history and cycles of violence to tell the story of a troubled man trying to come to grips with the distant forces and events that have shaped his life."--Khaled Hosseini  "A fine and frightening study of how the past preys upon the present..."--John Banville  "I felt myself under the spell of a masterful writer. Juan Gabriel Vasquez has many gifts--intelligence, wit, energy, a deep vein of feeling--but he uses them so naturally that soon enough one forgets one's amazement at his talents, and then the strange, beautiful sorcery of his tale takes hold." --Nicole Krauss  "Juan Gabriel Vasquez is one of the most original new voices of Latin American literature."--Mario Vargas Llosa  "For anyone who has read the entire works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and is in search of a new Colombian novelist... a thrilling new discovery."--Colm Toibin Juan Gabriel Vasquez was born in Bogota in 1973. His books include the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin award winner and national bestseller, The Sound of Things Falling, as well as the award-winning The Informers and The Secret History of Costaguana. Vasquez's books have been published in seventeen languages world-wide, and he is the recipient of the Prix Roger Caillois in France and the Alfaguara Prize in Spain. After sixteen years in France, Belgium, and Spain, he now lives in Bogota.

The Suicide of Claire Bishop (Dzanc Books)A Greenwich Village housewife and a present-day schizophrenic find their fates inextricably linked by a mysterious painting as they both battle issues with family, mental illness, love, and the true nature of reality...Greenwich Village, 1959. Claire Bishop sits for a portrait—a gift from her husband—only to discover that what the artist has actually depicted is Claire’s suicide. Haunted by the painting, Claire is forced to redefine herself within a failing marriage and a family history of madness. Shifting ahead to 2004, we meet West, a young man with schizophrenia who is obsessed with a painting he encounters in a gallery: a mysterious image of a woman’s suicide. Convinced it was painted by an ex-girlfriend with whom he is obsessed, West constructs an elaborate delusion involving time-travel, Hasidism, art-theft, and the terrifying power of representation. When the two characters finally meet, in the present, delusions are shattered and lives are forever changed.With West as our tenderly vulnerable and highly unreliable guide, and high stakes that reach across American history, Carmiel Banasky effortlessly juggles balls of madness, art theft, and Time itself, holding the reader in a thrall of language and personal consequences. Gripping, sexy, emotional, The Suicide of Claire Bishop is a dazzling debut that heralds Banasky as an important new talent.Praise for The Suicide of Claire Bishop“Banasky’s memorable, intricate, and inventive debut novel uses vulnerable characters to probe themes of time, identity, perception, and love...With its dancing time frames, recurring motifs, glimpses of history, and shifting realities, all united by striking prose, the novel is both an intellectual tour de force and a moving reflection on the ways we try to save ourselves and others.”—Publishers Weekly“Daring, precise, and linguistically acrobatic, this novel brings a history of America alive, from the war protests in the sixties to turn-of-the-21st-century art theft. A fearless portrayal of madness and its consequences, Carmiel Banasky’s debut novel tracks the life of a suicidal housewife and her unlikely, schizophrenic counterpart. This is a new writer to savor, reminiscent of Nicole Krauss, Michael Chabon, and Andy Sean Greer.”—Colum McCann, National Book Award-winning author of Let the Great World Spin“Vivid, strange and always compelling, The Suicide of Claire Bishop weaves together art, politics and the specter of madness in an unforgettable New York story. Carmiel Banasky, a writer like no other, is a talent to watch.”—Claire Messud, author ofThe Emperor’s ChildrenCarmiel Banasky is a writer and teacher from Portland, OR, who now lives in Los Angeles. Her work has appeared inGlimmer Train, American Short Fiction, Slice, Guernica, PEN America, The Rumpus, and NPR, among other places.

Kärlekens historia av den amerikanska författaren Nicole Krauss erövrade världen. I den nya romanen, Det stora huset, återvänder hon till sina teman om kärlek och förlust. Ett gigantiskt skrivbord står i centrum. En av bokens fem berättare, en antikhandlare osm vigt sitt liv åt att leta upp möbler som stulits från judiska familjer under andra världskriget för att återbörda dem till deras rättmätiga ägare, har återskapat sin fars arbetsrum så som det såg ut den dag Gestapo kom. Men en viktig detalj saknas: skrivbordet. Skrivbordet knyter samman de fem berättelserna genom decennierna och via Budapest. London, Chile och New York. Alla har formats av det de förlorat, och försöker komma underfund med sina liv. - Det finns ett starkt hopp i mina böcker, säger Nicole Krauss Litteraturen hjälper oss att hitta oss själva, att övervinna våra begränsningar. Ulla Strängberg träffade författaren på hennes Stockholmsbesök nyligen. Klassikerrummet ägnas Norrtullsligan, Elin Wägners debutroman från 1908. Boken handlar om fyra lågavlönade kontorister som delar hyresrum och hjälps åt att försöka överleva som självständiga yrkeskvinnor i ett Stockholm där patriarkatet är obönhörligt. Sexuella trakasserier hör till vardagen, halvsvält likaså. Trots att de fyras liv är hårt och utan hopp är det en förvånansvärt rolig berättelse. Elin Wägner visar sig vara en barsk humorist och dialogen är modern och medryckande. Så var också förlagan en kåseriserie hon skrev i Dagens Nyheter. Maarja Talgres gäster den här gången är kollegan Maria Edström från kulturredaktionen och författaren Anna Karin Palm. Norrtullsligan har av en jury valts till 2011 års Vi-läser bok som är ett projekt i samarbete mellan Författarcentrum och Läsrörelsen.

James Naughtie and readers talk to American writer Nicole Krauss, shortlisted for this year's Orange Prize. Our chosen novel is her critically acclaimed The History of Love. It's a complex tale of loss - a lost manuscript, lost homelands, characters grieving for lost loved ones. There are four separate narrators who are all drawn to the lost book - also called The History of Love. Leo Gursky is at the end of his life, tapping his radiator each evening to let his neighbour know he's still alive, drawing attention to himself at the local coffee bar. He doesn't want to die on a day when no-one has seen him. As a young man Leo wrote The History of Love in pre-war Poland. Although he doesn't know it, the book also survived, crossing oceans and generations and changing lives. Fourteen-year-old Alma was named after a character in that book, and lives across New York City from Leo. She and her little brother, who thinks he is the Messiah, are recovering from the loss of their father. The starting point for writing the novel was the story of her grandmother, who came to England as a chaperone on the Kindertransport, and lost all her family in the Holocaust. She had fallen in love with a young doctor, whom she had also presumed dead. Forty years later, he wrote to her grandmother from South America. Nicole's History of Love is like a jigsaw, where all the pieces come together at the end - and she talks about how she has no preconceived idea about where the story will end as she begins. Nicole likens it to being a traveller in a foreign city, walking from street to street, finding her way. July's Bookclub choice : 'The Music Room' by William Fiennes. Producer : Dymphna Flynn.

Andrew O'Hagan is a rising star in the literary world. He joins James Naughtie and readers to discuss his novel Be Near Me, the story of Father David, an aesthetic English Catholic priest working in a working class community in Ayrshire. This is a poignant story of a man who doesn't fit in. Father David is trapped by class hatreds, and troubled by sexual feelings which he struggles to keep submerged. He's a character who's almost intent on self destruction, and as the reader follows his story, we can't help but think it's going to end in tragedy. Andrew O'Hagan talks about the challenges of writing such a story in the first person, how inevitably people think it's about himself - and how by creating a protagonist whose side of the story is not quite reliable leads to intrigue in the mind of the reader. Andrew has drawn on the community where he himself grew up - a community ridden by class and religious divide. One of the novel's strongest characters is Father David's housekeeper Mrs Poole who was based on Andrew's mother and colleagues. His mother was a school cleaner and as a child Andrew spent some of his school holidays watching and listening to their conversations as they went about the 'big clean' - preparing the school for the new academic year. The starting point for the book was when Andrew happened to be in a café in Paris and noticed a Catholic priest drinking coffee alone in the corner. Andrew watched as a tear fell down the priest's cheek, and immediately began to wonder what his story was and went home to write it. As always on Bookclub, a group of readers join the author in the discussion and James Naughtie chairs the programme. June's Bookclub choice : 'The History of Love' by Nicole Krauss.
