his classic story from the history of Zen is an excellent example of the lengths some have taken to explore meditation, the results that can happen when someone goes too far in overzealous attempts, and the commitment it takes to extricate oneself and return to a more middle way of practice.

It's a winter night when we first meet Tom Rourke. He's penning love letters, preening in mirrors, pushing dope, partaking of booze, singing and flirting and fighting. It's just another night in Butte, Montana, for the feckless young Irishman. And no one writes the Irish quite like Kevin Barry. Barry's new novel, “The Heart in Winter,” is his first set in America. But true to form, it features the Irish. That's because, in the 1890s, Irish immigrants by the thousands descended upon the tiny frontier town of Butte to work the copper mines — a historical nugget Barry learned in 1999. 'The mind of Irish author' Kevin Barry lives in a hilariously malevolent world As he told host Kerri Miller, at the time, he thought to himself: “My God, this is a Western but it's a Western with County Cork accents. I'm in. This is my book.” He immediately hopped on a plane to Montana, where he was welcomed warmly. Butte remains proud of its Irish heritage. And he went back to Ireland and wrote something like 100,000 words. But, he said, “I knew even as I was writing it, it was all dead on the page. It just wasn't coming to life for me, because I didn't have the characters yet. I didn't have the people of the novel yet, and those took their sweet time. It took another 22 years and six books later before my characters finally appeared to me.”What finally appeared on the page was a savagely funny and romantic tale of two young lovers on the run from a cuckolded husband's goons. On this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas, Barry joins Miller to talk about the entwined histories of America and Ireland and how he deftly uses comedy to combat a sense of fatalism. He also shares his experience narrating his own audiobooks, which he finds crucial for refining his stories. Guest: Kevin Barry is the author of many books, including “Night Boat to Tangier” and “Beatlebone.” His new novel is “The Heart in Winter.” Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.

Kevin Barry is the author of four novels — Night Boat to Tangier, Beatlebone, City of Bohane (which was longlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize) and, most recently, The Heart in Winter. He's also the author of three short story collections, including That Old Country Music. The Heart in Winter was 25 years in the making. Unlike his other works, the story is set not in Ireland, but in Montana and Idaho in the late 1800s. Kevin joins Marrie Stone to chat about it. They talk about why he always finishes every piece of fiction, even when it's not working. He also shares his one guiding principle for unlocking his characters, finding the “tuning fork” for your novel, why dreaming and fiction come from the same place, his recommended book on writing, and so much more.

Two wonderful books on this episode. First up we hear from Elizabeth O' Connor about her incredible debut novel Whalefall. Set on a remote island off the coast of Wales in the run up to World War Two it is a story that maps the tension between home and the hope that exists in a young heart for a life of their own. We loved this book, the island is as wild & windswept as you'd want and the themes of imposition and the violence of 'progress' felt so timely. Do look it out, it's brilliant.Kevin Barry needs little introduction. Booker long-listed author of Irish number 1 best seller Night Boat to Tangiers, The Heart in Winter is his fourth novel and is as much fun as you'd expect. Set in 1891, Butte Montana it follows the thunderbolt love affair of Tom Rourke and Polly Gillespie. If stolen horses, psychedelics, badlands, and a posse of deranged Cornish gunmen are your thing (and they are ours) then you're going to love this.Whalefall is published by Picador and is available nowThe Heart in Winter is published by Canongate on June 6thHuge thanks to Huw Marc Bennett, Ian Hawgood & Nathan Salzburg for their use of their incredible music.

A collected series of intertwined poetic essays written by acclaimed Japanese poet Hiromi Ito--part nature writing, part travelogue, part existential philosophy. Written between April 2012 and November 2013, Tree Spirits Grass Spirits (Nightboat Books, 2023) adopts a non-linear narrative flow that mimics the growth of plants, and can be read as a companion piece to Ito's beloved poem "Wild Grass on the Riverbank". Rather than the vertiginously violent poetics of the latter, Tree Spirits Grass Spirits serves as what we might call a phyto-autobiography: a recounting of one's life through the logic of flora. Ito's graciously potent and philosophical prose examines immigration, language, gender, care work, and death, all through her close (indeed, at times obsessive) attention to plant life. For a better understanding of this collection and the author, the following books are recommended by translator Dr. Jon Pitt: Hiromi Ito - Wild Grass on the Riverbank Hiromi Ito - The Thorn Puller Robin Wall Kimmerer - Braiding Sweetgrass Hope Jahren - Lab Girl Jeanie Shinozuka - Biotic Borders Banu Subrahmaniam - Ghost Stories for Darwin Learn more about your ad choices.

Finally, after a long break, Waves Breaking returns with this interview with Kamden Ishmael Hilliard. Kam generously shares their time with me to discuss their debut book of poems, MissSettl, out last year with Nightboat Books. We go in deep to discuss their thoughts around the sentence, modes of speech, writing poems within this current era of late-stage capitalism, and teaching students. Kamden Ishmael Hilliard was born in La Jolla, CA; their fam settled on O'ahu, Hawai'i. Kamden holds a BA in American Studies from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and an MFA in Poetry from the Iowa Writers' Workshop. Kamden, a nonbinary Black settler who goes by Kam, works on issues of surveillance, race, queerness, contemporary art and American politics. They're thankful for support from The National YoungArts Foundation, The Davidson Institute, Sarah Lawrence College, and The UCROSS Foundation. Kam's writing appears in West Branch, The Black Warrior Review, Tagvverk, Denver Quarterly, The Columbia Review, and other publications.

On November 3, 2022, author Jack Shaum lectured on the subject of his newest book, 122 Years on the Old Bay Line. Old Bay Line is the name by which the Baltimore Steam Packet Company was best known over most of its 122-year history of nightly carrying passengers and freight on the Chesapeake Bay between Baltimore and Norfolk. These steamers are often mistakenly referred to as ferry boats, but they most certainly were not. They were large, sturdy vessels that operated year-round in all kinds of weather. They provided reliable on-time service for the traveling public and shippers alike, and were famed for their cuisine, impeccable service, and fine accommodation. By the 1950s and 1960s they were the last of their kind in the nation. When the company wrapped up operations in 1962, it was the oldest steamship company under the American flag. Jack Shaum is a retired award-winning print and broadcast journalist who spent nearly fifty years in the business. He is the former editor-in-chief of the quarterly journal of the Steamship Historical Society of America. Jack is the author and co-author of several books, including Lost Chester River Steamboats: From Chestertown to Baltimore; Majesty at Sea; Night Boat on the Potomac; and, most recently, 122 Years on the Old Bay Line. The content and opinions expressed in these presentations are solely those of the speaker and not necessarily of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.

John Preston talks to a group of readers about his novel The Dig, a fictional take on the excavations at Sutton Hoo. Set in the summer of 1939, with war looming, the novel re-imagines this celebrated discovery of Anglo-Saxon treasure, The extraordinary finds attracted the attention of eminent professors and national museums but the original discovery was the work of a self taught local archaeologist, Basil Brown. And in The Dig, Basil is given his chance to tell his story, as one of the narrators.

Love takes center stage in the short stories of the celebrated Irish writer Kevin Barry, best known for his 2019 novel, Night Boat to Tangier, long listed for The Booker Prize. Barry's third collection of short stories, That Old Country Music, now out in paperback, is a masterclass in how to write about men undone or remade by love, by turns comic, troubling, and sometimes devastating. “I think every novel I've written and every story I've written is essentially about people who can't escape their own past,” he has said. “They can never get past the blood, and they can never get past their background, and they're constantly striving to break out of that shadow. Unable to escape his past is one way of describing Herzog, who elevated his creator, author Saul Bellow, into the pantheon of great American writers, and onto the bookshelves of a young Kevin Barry. The other book Barry has chosen is Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Annie Dillard's love song to the fecundity and cruelty and majesty of nature.

Enjoy a couple of hunting stories from the GameKeeper crew as they hit the swampy backwaters attempting to fill a few alligator tags. With a season that's only 10 days long, a couple of crews rushed out to hunt different zones with different outcomes. As the Northeast crew dealt with large crowds and pressured gators, the West Central crew had easy pickings, but not without some surprise encounters no one expected. In the end everyone comes out on top with a fun story to share. Enjoy!

The conversation you're about to hear, “The Tenses of Cultural Differences,” was held between Monica de la Torre, Youmna Chlala, Sarah Riggs, and Alisha Mascarenhas in April 2021. Monica and Youmna interrogate the past to investigate complex present times and simultaneous states of reality. They contemplate the future as a place of potential rather than collapse. Together with Sarah and Alisha, they question the notion of heritage and the limits of empathy. They wonder how equivalences and differences rather than same-same structures – in translation, art, film, and among people – can better address the pressures of the present. In the conversation, you'll hear Monica and Youmna read from their own works. Monica will read an excerpt from Repetition Nineteen, published by Nightboat in 2020, as well as an unpublished poem, while Youmna will tell us more about The Paper Camera, the book she published, in 2019, with Litmus Press.
Plastic: An Autobiography (Nightboat Books, 2021) explores how technology, sprung from desire, draws all beings into its net, and asks how to live justly within its grasp. In Plastic: An Autobiography, Allison Cobb’s obsession with a large plastic car part leads her to explore the violence of our consume-and-dispose culture, including her own life as a child of Los Alamos, where the first atomic bombs were made. The journey exposes the interconnections among plastic waste, climate change, nuclear technologies, and racism. Using a series of interwoven narratives ― from ancient Phoenicia to Alabama ― the book bears witness to our deepest entanglements and asks how humans continue on this planet. Galina Limorenko is a doctoral candidate in Neuroscience with a focus on biochemistry and molecular biology of neurodegenerative diseases at EPFL in Switzerland.

The Laureate for Irish Fiction, Sebastian Barry, hosts a series of brief conversations with fellow writers asking big questions about the nature of writing itself. Kevin is a multiple award-winning writer whose most recent book, Night Boat to Tangier, was published in 2019. Here, he sits down with Sebastian via video chat to puzzle out some of the deeper questions about the art of writing, including the influence of early family life on one's writing, lyricism in prose, and how and why a writer should have a good self-care routine.

I know you're receiving a lot of requests about quarantine reading, but this one is a bit different. My name is Jennie and I am a state unemployment employee. We are working 60+ hours per week and we're still going into the office every day. I'm struggling with relaxing during my meager downtime. I'm looking for something funny to read or a fun romance or even a chill cozy mystery. As far as funny books go, my humor is more dry, so I can be picky and I don't like gross humor at all. Romance I like things that don't really have sex on the page but that's not a real deal breaker. I'm not a huge romance person so I haven't read a lot. Please don't recommend Red, White and Royal Blue. I did not enjoy it... It just wasn't for me. Any thoughts on books that could help me wind down after my long days would be great. Thanks ladies!!! -Jennifer 2. I don't have good words about the situation we're all in right now, only hopes that you and those you love are well! I'm writing because I need a little help with a birthday gift for my daughter. She will be 11 on April 30, and had been looking forward to hosting a Harry Potter-themed sleepover with her besties. Obviously, that will not be happening. Of course, we will still celebrate her like whoa, and the party can still happen at some time in the hazy future, but for now, but for now, she's pretty bummed. I would like to get her a book (or several) or her birthday to help fill the hours and distract her a bit. She is an advanced reader, and reads widely, but lately has been wanting to read some graphic novels and/or manga. So far she has enjoyed a manga of Pride and Prejudice and another of Emma, as well as the Zita the Space Girl series (thanks for that rec!), the graphic novels of the Baby Sitters Club, and everything Raina Telgemeier has ever done. She also LOVES Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl, and I just ordered the first trade of Lumberjanes, thinking some combination of Baby Sitters Club plus supernatural content might be a hit with her. Her tastes are all over the map right now. Favorite recent reads have been the Harry Potter series, the Keeper of the Lost Cities series, the Hunger Games series, The Land of Stories series, all of Karina Yan Glaser's Vanderbeekers books, and every old Baby Sitters Club book I had (she found a box in my parent's attic over Christmas, and has blazed through them), and she is on the second book of the School for Good and Evil Series currently. She also recently read and enjoyed "The Selection" by Kiera Cass, which she said she liked "because of the romance;" she enjoyed the romance subplots of the Hunger Games as well. She's really grooving on the identity of being a self-described "nerdy girl" right now, loves theater, and plasters all her notebooks with cat stickers and NASA stickers (to give you a little bit more of who she is). We don't really limit what she reads, and she chooses for herself what she's comfortable with. Clearly violence/peril isn't a deal-breaker because she loved the Hunger Games. However, she picked up a manga shelved in our library's YA section that featured some nudity, and she was NOT a fan. Can you help me find some graphic novels/manga/comics that might appeal and help brighten up her birthday? Thank you!!! -Jenn 3. Hi, I hope you guys are staying safe and healthy! I’ve recently read Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng and Normal People by Sally Rooney and I fell in love with the complex dynamics between characters, power shifts, and ESPECIALLy the upending of a seemingly pristine, wealthy veneer. In Little Fires Everywhere I loved how there was the seemingly perfect planned community of Shaker Heights and the equally perfect, wealthy Richardson family, but as the plot develops and you dive deeper into the characters’ psyche and background you realize that it’s all hanging on by just a thread. A similar concept happens in Normal People as Marianna lives in this beautiful mansion in the nice part of town but although raised in material wealth you soon realize she lives in significant emotional deprivation which has negatively affected her sense of self. I would love to find another book that touches on this same idea, the uncovering of a seemingly perfect, wealthy and beautiful setting, life, person or family. In a book I love discovering that there’s more to the story than a person’s projected image, that the surface is just the touch of the iceberg. Other books I’ve enjoyed: The Mothers by Brit Bennett (SO GOOD!), Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney and The Learning Curve by Mandy Berman. Thanks!! -EW 4. I'm looking for a light read to recommend to a friend as a distraction. She recently had to cancel her wedding because of COVID and could use some fluff (but maybe not anything with too much of an over the top love celebration HEA just yet). Typically she reads more non-fiction (David Sedaris is a favorite) or literary fiction with her book club but I'd like to gift her the book-equivalent of binge watching Great British Bake Off or Project Runway. Any suggestions? -Heather 5. I recently read a couple of New Adult college romance books. For the first time in a while I've found characters that I can identify with. I'm also in my early twenties, in college and doubting my career path. The problem is that in these books boys and relationships are always the answer to their problems. Do you know of any books with this kind of setting without the relationship being the answer to everything? I really dislike YA and would prefer the characters to be more mature. -Rose 6. I discovered your show about 3 months back. I love it. Can't get enough of it! I recently read the book "Night Boat to Tangier". More than the plot I loved the way the book is written. Long, winding conversations between two old friends. I also love the "Before Sunrise" movie series for the conversation between the leads. I would love to read more books of this type. I read all genres. -Pragna 7. I've just finished All the Single Ladies (Rebecca Traistor), as recommended by one of the Book Riot podcasts! I'd love something similar, strong single women having great lives and dealing with the judgmental parents, but with less statistics and politics than All the Single Ladies. Female led chick lit? Bio of a fab business woman? Anything to combat the "but don't you want a boyfriend?!??" people! -Caroline Books Discussed Spirit Run by Noe Álvarez The Outrun by Amy Liptrot To Have and To Hoax by Martha Waters An Elderly Lady is Up To No Good by Helene Tursten, transl. by Marlaine Delargy Jonesy #1 by Sam Humphries, illustrated by Cailtin Rose Boyle Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur Vol. 1: BFF by Amy Reeder and Brandon Montclare, illustrated by Natacha Bustos (also, Rocket Girl) Fleishman is in Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner Sons and Daughters of Ease and Plenty by Ramona Ausubel (rec’d by Rebecca) The Clancys of Queens by Tara Clancy Naturally Tan by Tan France (tw: discussion of racism, depression, and suicidal ideation) Normal People by Sally Rooney (tw: emotional abuse) Chemistry by Weike Wang (tw: bad parents) This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone Outline by Rachel Cusk (rec’d by Jessica) Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes All Grown Up by Jami Attenberg (tw: sick child)
In a surprising turn of events, Curtis and Hajar weren't too blown away by this Booker longlisted novel from Kevin Barry. And in fact, to save a long podcast bemoaning work we probably just didn't understand, we kept it a bit shorter this week. Still, listen for some beautiful excerpts and chat about why we couldn't quite connect with the characters. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-dabblers-book-club. Hosted on Acast.

In his early novels City of Bohane and Beatlebone as well as his short stories, Kevin Barry showed clear signs of his prodigious talent as a writer. But the Booker Prize-longlisted Night Boat to Tangier is his best book yet – a modest masterpiece of a novel dripping with tenderness, remorse and laconic humour. Join Barry live at the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2019 with Peggy Hughes to hear about his two fading but irresistible Irish gangsters trying to piece together the shards of their shattered lives.
Kevin Barry is an award-winning Irish writer. His novel City of Bohane was the winner of the 2013 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. His 2015 novel Beatlebone won the Goldsmiths Prize, and is one of seven books by Irish authors nominated for the 2017 International Dublin Literary Award. At the Canadian Association for Irish Studies 2019 conference, Kevin read from three of his works – including an extract from his latest book Night Boat to Tangier, available September 2019.
The punchiest of prose stylists talks to Paddy Butler about influences and his 2019 Booker long listed novel, Night Boat to Tangier.
We're still on our summer break, but we didn't want to leave you totally bereft of literary friction, here's a little something from the archive. In Spring 2016 we spoke to Kevin Barry about his novel Beatlebone, and in celebration of his place on this year's Booker Prize longlist (for his latest novel Nightboat to Tangier) we thought we'd re-run the episode. Beatlebone is a wonderful novel about a very famous John's quest to reach a tiny island that he owns in Clew Bay, off the West Coast of Ireland. Inspired by his trip, our theme is 'down the rabbit hole', dedicated to all those literary escapes to the ends of the earth and to the centre of the mind. We'll be following that elusive rabbit's fluffy tail and lighting out for the territory with Huck Finn, breaking out of jail with the Count of Monte Cristo, and getting lost in all kids of mythical adventures. Come along for the ride, and enjoy a bit of time travel into the world of our younger selves - our equipment was a lot less pro in those days!
Irish author Kevin Barry joins Nadine O'Regan to talk about life, literature, Cork in the 1990s, the Dublin housing crisis and much more. Barry is the author of Night Boat to Tangier, which was recently longlisted for the Booker Prize. His previous novels are Beatlebone and City of Bohane, and he is also the author of a number of fine short-story collections.

Irish author Kevin Barry, winner of the Impac Award and the Goldsmiths Prize, discusses his new novel Night Boat to Tangier, a dark comedy billed as Waiting For Godot meets In Bruges. Novelist and journalist Molly Flatt, who writes about culture and technology for the Bookseller, discusses a growing trend for book versions of successful podcasts. 25 years since the death of Derek Jarman, Mariella is joined by writers Philip Hoare and Mike Parker to explore queer nature writing, a genre concerned with the push and pull of the natural world, from a queer perspective.
We're live! In this, our first episode, you'll hear us discuss the virtues and vices of chapbooks. We we interview the inimitable Lena Khalaf Tuffaha over Sonnet Spiced Coffee. LENA KHALAF TUFFAHA is an American poet, writer, and translator of Palestinian, Jordanian, and Syrian heritage. She is the winner of the 2016 Two Sylvias Chapbook Prize for Arab in Newsland, and the author of Water & Salt, a book of poems from Red Hen Press published in April 2017, which won the Washington State Book Award. You can follow her on Twitter @LKTuffaha. SONNET SPICED COFFEE RECIPE The word “sonnet” comes to us from the Italian word “sonetto,” meaning little song. We don't know exactly what song is inspiring this coffee, but we're pretty sure it would sound amazing if sung by Fairuoz (iconic Lebanese diva, see picture below). This drink is pretty easy to make (assuming you know how to make coffee in a French Press and have a bean grinder). Simply coarse-grind your coffee beans and spices together, then proceed with your coffee brewing per usual. Sonnet Spiced Coffee pairs splendidly with fresh satsumas, tiny porcelain cups, and this very episode. 8 tablespoons of coffee (we used Peets “Big Bang” blend) 3 black peppercorns dash of cardamom dash of cinnamon dash of nutmeg dash of crushed clove REFERENCES "Translation" and "Water & Salt" by Lena Khalaf Tuffaha Invasive Species (Nightboat) by Marwa Helal "Imagining a Vernacular Future", A Brooklyn Poets class taught by Marwa Helal American-Arab Anti-Discrimination committee (ADC) Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU) "'I Belong to Many Places': A Q&A with Washington State Book Award Winner Lena Khalaf Tuffaha" (The Seattle Times, December 2018) "Hold Up!

May 29, 1938 - Jack Benny plays bothe the school teacher and Tom Sayer from Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". Rochester sings "Love, Your Magic Spell is Everywhere". They mention the movies "The Awful Truth", "In Old Chicago", and "Artists and Models Abraod". Andy Devine is Mayor of Nan Nuys, California. Finally, The Albany Night Boat was a riverboat from New York City to Albany. Couples would board for the overnight trip, leaving the night boat with a reputation.

After a week away the podcast returns only HUGE, with two weeks' worth of thoughts and talk making this the longest and quite possibly least disciplined episode ever. Under discussion this week is HBO's dark documentary of privilege and injustice, The Jinx, as well as the Wachowskis' new Netflix show, Sense8. We discuss the conferences that stopped us recording last week - Nath went to E3 in LA, Sarah to the British Humanist Association in Bristol - and what we've written this week, including work on the return of Doom, the strangeness of LA, and Irish abortion. Then, in a new regular, we answer your questions - you here mostly meaning 'Caroline' - and for no reason at the end there's talk about Marc Maron's interview with Barack Obama.
