Resenha do livro “The Tiger's Wife” (tradução livre: “A mulher do tigre”), de Téa Obreht. A resenha escrita está nesse link. Natalia é uma médica que viveu entre as guerras nas Bálcãs; seu melhor amigo é seu avô, também médico, que a criou. Agora o avô morre em circunstâncias misteriosas e ela precisa descobrir o que aconteceu. Aos poucos, vai se lembrando das histórias que ele lhe contava e as coisas começam a fazer sentido. Como a autora mesmo define, é uma fábula sobre a vida e a morte. Muitíssimo bem escrita. Vale demais a leitura.

In rural late-nineteenth-century New England, Wilhelmina Sylte is a settler starting a family with her Norwegian immigrant husband. When she forms an inexplicable connection with a mountain lion and her cubs living near their farm, Mina grapples with divided loyalties and the mysterious bond she shares with the animals. In 1927 in southern Colorado, Josepa is accused of witchcraft by a local priest for using the healing practices passed down from her Native mother. Fighting for her family's reputation and way of life, Sepa finds strength in worldly and otherworldly sources. When Magdalena, an ecologist, inherits her great-grandmother Wilhelmina's Vermont property, she and her astrophysicist husband decide to turn the old farm into a summer science camp for teens. As Magda struggles with both personal and professional responsibilities, the boundary between science and myth begins to blur. Rich in historical and cultural detail, This Fierce Blood combines magical realism with themes of maternal ancestral inheritance, and also explores the ways Hispano/Indigenous traditions both conflicted and wove together, shaping the distinctive character of the American Southwest. Readers of Téa Obreht and Ruth Ozeki will find much to admire in this debut novel.   Author Malia Márquez is in conversation with Michael Zapata. _______________________________________________   Produced by Maddie Gobbo, Lance Morgan, Natalie Freeman, & Michael Kowaleski.

Nadine Kreuzahler schaut auf einen radelnden Buchhändler in Prenzlauer Berg, der mit seinem Fahrrad ausliefert. Sie empfiehlt die Neuerscheinungen "Harte Jahre" von Mario Vargas Llosa und "Herzland" von Téa Obreht. Außerdem gratuliert sie Uwe Timm zu seinem 80. Geburtstag.

Meike Schnitzler stellt „The Street – Die Straße“ von Ann Petry vor. Dieses Debüt war 1946 eine Sensation. Um die 1,5 Millionen Mal verkaufte sich die Geschichte einer jungen Mutter im Harlem der 40er-Jahre. Die schöne Lutie Johnson hat ihren Mann verlassen und mietet für sich und ihren achtjährigen Sohn Bubb eine heruntergekommene Wohnung in der 116. Straße in New York. Unbedingt möchte sie eine bessere Zukunft für ihr Kind, doch schnell muss sie feststellen, dass sie der fatalen Mischung aus Armut, Rassismus und Übergriffigkeit kaum entkommen kann. Gerade weil sie nicht bereit ist, jeden Preis zu zahlen, wird die Schlinge immer enger, die sich um sie und Bubb zieht. Ann Petrys wiederentdecktes Meisterwerk ist ein bis in jede Nebenrolle brillant besetztes Drama. Angela Wittmann kann man eigentlich mit Western jagen, vielleicht liegt es an einer Überdosis Karl Mey, den ihr Vater immer zum Einschlafen vorlas. „Herzland“ hat aber schon jetzt einen Platz unter den Büchern, die sie immer wieder aufs Neue lesen will. Arizona um 1890, Nora kämpft gegen die Dürre, die ihre Farm und ihre Familie bedroht: Da kann man schon zur Furie werden, aber ihr Jüngster fürchtet eine andere Bestie. Er ist einem Wesen auf der Spur, auf das Téa Obreht, geboren 1985 in Serbien und über Zypern und Ägypten in die USA ausgewandert, bei ihren Recherchen wirklich gestoßen ist: ein Kamel im Wilden Westen.

Interview with Téa Obreht, author of new critically acclaimed novel "Inland". Talks w/ host Sheryl McCarthy about the meaning & characters of this epic journey in Wild West.

Internationally bestselling novelist Téa Obreht mesmerized readers with her timeless debut novel, The Tiger’s Wife. Weaving a brilliant latticework of family legend, loss, and love, Obreht, the youngest of The New Yorker’s twenty best American fiction writers under forty, spun a novel that established her as one of the most vibrant, original authors of her generation. Now, in her new novel, Inland, Obreht returns to subvert and reimagine the myths of the American West, making them entirely—and unforgettably—her own. Moderated by award-winning novelist Liz Moore, Obreht will discuss her award-winning novels and the spectacular triumphs of storytelling.

At the Bookmarks Festival of Books and Authors in Winston-Salem, Charlie talks with Orange Prize winner Téa Obreht, author of The Tiger's Wife, about her acclaimed new novel, Inland.

Plus, Sisonke Msimang and Rebecca Carroll discuss extracts of Toni Morrison's writing, and Lucy Treloar's second novel Wolfe Island.

A Western, a war saga and a plate of dumplings. Téa Obreht's Inland, Vasily Grossman's Stalingrad, Wai Chim's The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling and writer Julia Phillips with 'Me Myshelf and I.'

In their very last Writer and the Critic podcast for 2011, your hosts Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond ramble only briefly before leaping boldly forth into their discussion of the selected novels, both winners of the Orange Prize for Fiction in their respective years. As usual, there are significant plot spoilers for both books, so take heed of the timestamps if you wish to avoid them. Discussion of The Tiger's Wife by Téa Obreht begins at 05:15 and includes references to a review by Philip Hensher at The Telegraph as well as this one by Ruth Fowler at the Huffington Post. At the 35:15 mark, the two then move on to We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. Kirstyn quotes from this Guardian article by Lionel Shriver and recommends the newly released film starring Tilda Swinton -- but only if you read the book first! If you've skipped ahead, please come back at for final remarks at 01:21:40. Next month -- next year! -- Ian has picked Redemption in Indigo by Karen Lord while Kirstyn has chosen Zoo City by Lauren Beukes. Due to their hectic end of year schedules, neither of them have actually had a chance to read their own recommendations yet so they're each looking forward to finding out what they themselves think . . . Happy New Year!
