Send us a textOn this episode we talk about this year's International Literature Festival Dublin which runs from 16-25 May, and where Enda will be interviewing novelists Gethan Dick and Patrick Holloway. We also talk to Karin-Lin Greenberg about Your Are Here, her novel set in a dying mall in upstate New York."Lin-Greenberg's web of characters illustrate the complex lives of ordinary people." —Laura Zornosa, Time"Like Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge, the charm of Lin-Greenberg's engaging story lies in the sweetness of the characters' everyday lives." —Becky Meloan, The Washington Post"Charming . . . The small lies woven into a lifelong marriage, the petty resentments harbored by polite neighbors and, above all, the comic discrepancy between a character's outer and inner life—all emerge unforced and unadorned in this multifaceted narrative . . . But the everyday reality that Ms. Lin-Greenberg so memorably creates is not easily eclipsed. Compassion and wry understatement remain her strengths, and in You Are Here she captures not only the frayed texture of suburban existence but also the turbulent emotions, immediate and long buried, of protagonists who are ultimately far more than stereotypes." —Anna Mundow, The Wall Street Journal"Beautifully written and radically sympathetic . . . Among its achievements, You Are Here is a breathtaking depiction of a community—even one at the mall." —Jeffrey Condran, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette"Absolutely irresistible." —PeopleIntro/outro music: Colm Mac Con Iomaire, ‘Thou Shalt Not Carry' from The Hare's Corner, 2008, with thanks to Colm for permission to use it.

In 2009, Elizabeth Strout won the Pulitzer Prize for her wonderful novel about a famously cantankerous and compelling character, Olive Kitteridge. Since then, in books like The Burgess Boys and My Name is Lucy Barton, Strout introduced readers to more of her engaging, vivacious characters. And with her latest book, published last month, Strout brings all of these characters together. Tell Me Everything is a quiet, masterful, beautiful peroration on love and loyalty that doesn't shy away from life's big questions. Strout joins us to talk about her compelling and complicated characters.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

Hopefully we will have Stuart back with us next week, but in the meantime we are delighted to have two of Scotland's best commentators on the show - welcome back Angela Haggerty and hot from the Labour Party Conference - Catriona Stewart . Recommendations: Eamonn The Seige - Book - Ben Macintyre On April 30, 1980, six heavily armed gunmen burst into the Iranian embassy on Princes Gate, overlooking Hyde Park in London. There they took 26 hostages, including embassy staff, visitors, and three British citizens. A tense six-day siege ensued as millions gathered around screens across the country to witness the longest news flash in British television history, in which police negotiators and psychiatrists sought a bloodless end to the standoff, while the SAS – hitherto an organisation shrouded in secrecy – laid plans for a daring rescue mission: Operation Nimrod. Drawing on unpublished source material, exclusive interviews with the SAS, and testimony from witnesses including hostages, negotiators, intelligence officers and the on-site psychiatrist, bestselling historian Ben Macintyre takes readers on a gripping journey from the years and weeks of build-up on both sides, to the minute-by-minute account of the siege and rescue. Recreating the dramatic conversations between negotiators and hostages, the cutting-edge intelligence work happening behind-the-scenes, and the media frenzy around this moment of international significance, The Siege is the remarkable story of what really happened on those fateful six days, and the first full account of a moment that forever changed the way the nation thought about the SAS – and itself. Angela Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story: This riveting true-crime drama probes the lives of the Menendez brothers, convicted of the brutal 1989 murders of their parents in Beverly Hills. Catriona Tell Me Everything - book - Elizabeth Strout Tell Me Everything is a hopeful, healing novel about new friendships, old loves, and the very human desire to leave a mark on the world. It's autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer, Lucy Barton, who lives down the road in a house by the sea with her ex-husband, William. Together, Lucy and Bob go on walks and talk about their lives, their fears and regrets, and what might have been. Lucy, meanwhile, is finally introduced to the iconic Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. Together, they spend afternoons in Olive's apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known – “unrecorded lives,” Olive calls them – reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning. Brimming with empathy and pathos, Tell Me Everything is Elizabeth Strout operating at the height of her powers, illuminating the ways in which our relationships keep us afloat. As Lucy says, “Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love."

L'epidemia di Covid che ha sconvolto il mondo nel 2020 è al centro del romanzo "Lucy davanti al mare" di Elizabeth Strout (Einaudi - traduz. Susanna Basso). La scrittrice americana, Premio Pulitzer 2009 per la raccolta di racconti "Olive Kitteridge", torna a raccontarci la vita di Lucy Barton, già protagonista di altri libri. Stavolta siamo nel 2020 e Lucy deve fare i conti come il resto del mondo con la pandemia. Il secondo marito è morto da un anno e il primo marito William le chiede di andare con lui in una casa nel Maine, lasciare dunque New York per cercare di evitare il contagio. Questa insolita convivenza sarà l'occasione per Lucy per una serie di riflessioni sulla sua vita e sul suo passato.
Elizabeth Strout is one of the most distinct voices in contemporary American literature, and beloved by readers and critics alike. Her international breakthrough came with the novel Olive Kitteridge, which earned her the 2009 Pulitzer Prize, and which was later adapted into the award winning mini series of the same name. Since then, she has written four books in her Lucy Barton series; My Name Is Lucy Barton, Anything Is Possible, Oh, William! and Lucy by the Sea.Her Lucy novels tell stories about exposedness, poverty, grief and childhood trauma, but also about the value of hope, art and love. Lucy grows up in a poor and dysfunctional family in the Illinois countryside and becomes a writer against all odds. Through her village upbringing and different periods in Lucy's life, the novels depicts her slow awakening as a writer, someone who tells stories, who gives the world meaning through language.In Strout's novels and short stories, the great drama unfolds within unassuming everyday life. The emotional lives of ordinary people are portrayed with depth, warmth and complexity, while she simultaneously shows a keen eye for the larger societal structures and systems of which we, consciously or unconsciously, are part.At the House of Literature, Strout is joined by writer Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold for a conversation about family, community and change. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Elizabeth Strout er en av de fremste stemmene i amerikansk samtidslitteratur, og både leserne og kritikerne setter henne høyt. Hun begynte å skrive i ung alder, men det kom til å ta mange år før hun fikk noe utgitt. Den gangen var mantraet hennes «ikke gi deg.»I år er Strouts debutroman, Amy og Isabelle, endelig tilgjengelig på norsk (oversatt av Hilde Rød-Larsen). Det internasjonale gjennombruddet kom med romanen Olive Kitteridge, som hun ble tildelt Pulitzerprisen for i 2009, og som senere ble adaptert til en prisvinnende miniserie med samme navn. Siden da har hun skrevet fire bøker i serien om Lucy Barton: Mitt navn er Lucy Barton, Hva som helst er mulig, Lucy ved havet og Åh, William! – og gjennom disse har Strout vist seg som en både uredd og dypt empatisk forfatter.«Du kan ikke skrive litteratur og ta forbehold,» har Strout sagt. I likhet med hennes romankarakter Lucy Barton, vokste Strout opp på et lite tettsted i en streng familie. Da var bøker mirakler og tilfluktssteder, der hun forsto at hun ikke var alene.I dette personlige foredraget vil Strout snakke om sin vei fra tidlige skriverier til å bli en publisert forfatter, og underveis vil hun trekke fram noen av forfatterne og bøkene som har formet og påvirket henne underveis, deriblant Alice Munro, Eudora Welty og Ernest Hemingway. Strout har alltid observert menneskene rundt seg, og i foredraget vil hun snakke om hvor hun finner inspirasjon til romankarakterene sine, og hvordan hun klarte å gi slipp på forbeholdene.Foredraget er på engelsk.

Elizabeth Strout har etablert seg som en av den amerikanske samtidslitteraturens mest egenartede stemmer, elsket av lesere og kritikere. Det internasjonale gjennombruddet kom med romanen Olive Kitteridge, som Strout vant Pulitzerprisen for i 2009, og som også ble adaptert til en prisbelønt miniserie. Siden har hun skrevet fire bøker i Lucy Barton-serien, Jeg heter Lucy Barton, Hva som helst er mulig, Åh, William! og Lucy ved havet, alle oversatt av Hilde Rød-Larsen.Romanene om Lucy forteller om utsatthet, fattigdom, sorg og barndomstraumer – men også om verdien av håp, kunst og kjærlighet. Lucy vokser opp i en fattig og dysfunksjonell familie på landsbygda i Illinois, men klarer å bli forfatter mot alle odds. Romanene sirkler inn småbylivet og ulike epoker i Lucys liv, fra den langsomme oppvåkningen mot å bli forfatter, en som forteller, en som gir mening til verden med ord.Det er i det stillferdige, hverdagslige livet at de store dramaene utspiller seg i Strout sine romaner og noveller, med dybde, varme og kompleksitet skildres vanlige folks følelsesliv, samtidig som hun har et skarpt blikk for større samfunnsstrukturer og systemer som mennesket bevisst og ubevisst inngår i.Strout møter forfatter Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold til samtale om felleskap, familie og forandring.Samtalen foregår på engelsk.

Elizabeth Strout is one of the most distinct voices in contemporary American literature, and beloved by readers and critics alike. She started writing at an early age, but it would take her many years to finally get published. Back then, her mantra was “just keep going”.This year, Strout's debut novel, Amy and Isabelle, is finally available in Norwegian (translated by Hilde Rød-Larsen). Her international breakthrough came with the novel Olive Kitteridge, which earned her the 2009 Pulitzer Prize, and which was later adapted into the award-winning mini series of the same name. Since then, she has written four books in her Lucy Barton series; My Name Is Lucy Barton, Anything Is Possible, Lucy by the Sea and Oh, William! – which have earned Strout a reputation of an unafraid and deeply thoughtful writer.«You can't write fiction and be careful,» Strout has said. Growing up in a small, rural town with a strict family – similarly to her beloved character Lucy Barton – books were miracles and refuges – places in which she realized she was not alone.In this personal lecture, Strout will talk about her journey from when she first started to write, and to becoming a published author, highlighting some of the authors and books that have shaped and influenced her along the way, such as Alice Munro, Eudora Welty and Ernest Hemingway. A constant observer of those around her, she will talk about where she finds inspiration for her characters and how she learned to throw caution to the wind. Hosted on Acast.

L'epidemia di Covid che ha sconvolto il mondo nel 2020 è al centro del romanzo "Lucy davanti al mare" di Elizabeth Strout (Einaudi - traduz. Susanna Basso). La scrittrice americana, Premio Pulitzer 2009 per la raccolta di racconti "Olive Kitteridge", torna a raccontarci la vita di Lucy Barton, già protagonista di altri libri. Stavolta siamo nel 2020 e Lucy deve fare i conti come il resto del mondo con la pandemia. Il secondo marito è morto da un anno e il primo marito William le chiede di andare con lui in una casa nel Maine, lasciare dunque New York per cercare di evitare il contagio. Questa insolita convivenza sarà l'occasione per Lucy per una serie di riflessioni sulla sua vita e sul suo passato. Nella seconda parte parliamo di "Non farti fottere" di Lilli Gruber (Rizzoli). La pornografia è un mercato che esiste da tempo ed è esplosa per quanto riguarda i film soprattutto negli anni '70. Negli ultimi tempi è cambiata a causa del web e dei social. E' sempre più bassa l'età di chi consapevolmente o meno si imbatte in immagini o in video pornografici. Su questi temi Lilli Gruber ha scritto il libro "Non farti fottere - Come il supermercato del porno on line ti ruba fantasia, desiderio e dati personali" (Rizzoli). Un libro che analizza il presente del mercato del porno e le ripercussioni sulla sessualità degli adulti, con un focus sulle conseguenze sull'educazione sessuale dei giovani.
Libri: Paul Auster, Trilogia di New York (trad. M. Bocchiola, Einaudi); Elizabeth Strout, Olive Kitteridge (trad. S. Castoldi, Fazi). Musica: Lou Reed, Teddy Wilson, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan

Free Masterclass About Maribeth Fox: Maribeth Fox has worked with Laura Rosenthal Casting for fifteen years and has had the privilege of working alongside major talents like Todd Haynes, Paolo Sorrentino, Oren Moverman, Joachim Trier, Ed Burns, Mindy Kaling, Anton Corbijn, and Lisa Cholodenko as well as up and coming feature directors, Guy Nattiv, Olivia Newman, & Paul Downs Colaizzo. Favorite credits include Olive Kitteridge and Mildred Pierce both for HBO, Jay-Z's music video for Smile, Wonderstruck with Todd Haynes, A Quiet Place, Modern Love for Amazon and Liz Garbus' narrative feature debut, Lost Girls. Two of her three films at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival broke sales records, Late Night and Brittany Runs A Marathon. Most recent credits include Sharper for Apple TV, directed by Benjamin Caron, Bottoms, produced by Elizabeth Banks, Murder Mystery 2 with Happy Madison, and the upcoming A Different Man from Killer Films and A24. How did you become a casting director? I learned how to work with actors, what they need you to tell them, and what they don't need you to tell them about ego. And I just decided to spend five to seven minutes with actors instead of a career with them. So I switched to casting, and I worked for CBS primetime casting for two and a half years, which was a really good learning experience, but corporate wasn't for me. I wanted to do more film, and I wanted to be freelance so my eight-week job with Laura turned into 16 years. How does a casting director get a film job? So oftentimes, we are one of the first people hired and production companies hire us, producers that know us, that know what The material is that we're drawn to. Sometimes we're hired by our directors who you hope to get repeat business if you've worked with them before. The first thing we'll do is read a script to make sure we're creatively aligned and feel like we strategically know how to cast the job. And then we're offered one of two situations. The first situation is. Attach names to this to green-light the rest of the financing. So we do that side, and then sometimes people come attached to a film, which is wonderful news. And they're like, “We just want you to cast this movie if you like it. And this is who's doing it.” So we're normally found by producers and directors, and we're one of the first hires. So, just a question I have: if you are asked to attach a name talent, and let's say it's one part, let's make this real simple, Sure. How long does it generally take to cast a film, would you say, to attach that kind of name talent if it's a good script? It's a long time. It's a long time, so much so that Laura has received producorial credit on quite a few of her features because of the time, attention, and effort it takes to get those attachments in place. You think about somebody, let's say you're offering something to somebody like Julianne Moore. It could take a month for her to read it. Not because she doesn't read quickly but she's got a lot going on. And somebody of that ilk, their whole team, has to read it. She has to read it. Everybody has to have an opinion. They have to have a discussion about it. And so we try our best to set respectful boundaries with agents and managers to say, “We really need this to be read by this time.” But if a creative team is invested in a certain person, oftentimes, that deadline will stretch. So you could be with one actor for a month or more. We try to get them sometimes to line up like their top three for each part if we're doing more than one part so that if there is a pass, it's not an utterly crushing situation. The producers knew that a writer strike was imminent, and I was a little shocked to hear what you said, that you stopped getting calls about six months before. Can you talk about that and what that was like? It's helpful to know just in terms of our similarity to what actors go through that a lot of our business is independent film and that really continued. That was not a problem. We were still getting calls. We were still getting pings for that, but in terms of the book of business that would streamers and network, which is a lot of people's businesses, they anticipated the strike. And normally, we have no shortage of things to read, think about, sign on to, or not sign on to. And I think all casting directors experienced a similar shut-off. That was very different than the strike in 2008 where we were out of work for a little while, but no big deal. But yes, like the work has been. It's been different this time around. How has it been different, do you feel? So I think a lot of people feel, there's a lot of feelings this time around. Where, as there should be, right? I obviously heartily support the actors and what they're going through, and it's, it's time, right? It's time to do this and ensure everybody gets what they're owed fairly. And also, I think there is, within the SAG interim agreement, there's some stuff where I think we all need to work together in community to understand what everybody does and what everybody is going through and maybe have a little bit of empathy and open conversation and understanding because right now, it has felt a little bit of an angrier time and I understand it. Also, It's hard to think about what life will be like after the strike ends, and I don't know. I think a backlog of projects stopped right before the strike or started to shoot, not believing the strike would fully happen. And those are the things that are going to start to go first. And those things are already crewed up. So, from my perspective, could it be an influx of new work? Maybe. I sure hope so. But also, we have to think about all the stuff that got interim agreements is stuff that mostly was already staffed. And so I wonder how much the huge influx, or if it's just going to be figuring out what's actually going to shoot now and what's going to be put to the side. The great news is that I think you're right about the flood. And actors will feel it. And start to work and self-tape again. And hopefully, it'll get back to business as usual. And I think what's very important for actors to understand is it's not only you who is on strike, it's everybody. I'm so proud to stand with the actors that I love and support in my day to day. And absolutely, we are with you a thousand percent. And also, it's real, right? Many people have turned to survival jobs that they haven't had since they were 22. Everybody's done. Employment is out. And you live in an industry town, so every business is thoroughly affected by the lack of availability of income for people. The actors are the ones who are fighting and are going to get the benefits but do remember when you get on the set, there were a bunch of other people who were fighting right along with you, who are not going to get necessarily, the benefits that you were fighting for. They were supporting you, but the hairdressers aren't going to get any more pay, or hair stylists, the grips aren't going to get anything. I think that AI is an existential crisis for actors, and I don't think that is something I cannot give up my voice and my likeness and have you pay me once and that be okay, so I do think it's a worthy fight and as you said, it's a definite fight. I also think it's in the forefront of what humanity will be dealing with. Bartenders will be dealing with it, taxi drivers will be dealing with it, it just has come. Not here first, but here. We don't do any background casting, and I don't know what that life is. But I do think about that entire loss of an industry. That will go first, right? And it already has started to go. They take your picture; they can pump you in if they need an arena full of people. I've had many family and friends during this time try to like talk in a fun way about chat GPT and those types of services. And they're like, have you played around with it? I'm like, no, I don't want to help it get smarter. And I think it will have real ramifications, and it already is having ramifications for our industry. No, I'm not going to hang out on that service, but thank you so much for asking. What do you want actors to know [00:18:00] about self-tapes? So many things. The first thing is it's a grocery store sample. If you're at Costco, yep, that's exactly right. If you're at Costco and the old woman is serving you pizza, you're not going to steal the whole pizza. You're going to take your sample of a square. We do not expect a fully baked moment for a self-tape. I think artists are artists, and folks are getting bored. And so there's a lot of Heavy wardrobe, heavy movement choice the ability and the time to make almost like a short film. It's not the job. A self-tape should look different than how you would behave if you're on a set with a DP. I think the other thing that I've noticed that I've started to see as self-taping goes on and on, as a public service announcement for actors, is... You're getting too good at them, and I'm going to explain more. I think actors are really great at self-taping now, and it can almost feel robotic at times. Because they've gotten so good at knowing and thinking about, their mentality has shifted from what I want to put forward as an artist that's unique to how can I get this job by thinking about what they might want. And so then they know what pace to do. They know what tone it is. They've done their research and all of those brave, bold choices start to get ironed out and it's safe acting work. It's still beautiful work, but it's safe because they're so good at it. They know exactly what they might want instead of infusing their own artistic uniqueness in the mix. And I think casting directors hear the plight of actors, and I think something great that's going to come out of the strike is, I think there's going to be more options offered. So some actors love the self-tape process and bless, please, if that's how you feel comfortable, wonderful. I will still take time to adjust you via Zoom. If you need an adjustment, if I get your self-tape and there's something close to there, I will still take time for you on Zoom and say, hey, and we'll workshop it together. But then there's, we really do hear actors that they want more of us again. I do think that in-person chem reads and callbacks will start to come back. In the meantime, I think casting directors are far more open to reopening Zoom rooms, to make sure that we're available in some tech-helpful live way so that we can make better connections with actors. I still get lovely, vibrant self-tapes on everything that I do. But generally, I think, there's a mindset that I've been thinking a lot about that actors carry that is, I think trained into a lot of people that it's just a scarcity mindset. And so you come out of school and you're told that your job is so hard. There are so many people competing. You're in constant competition. There's not a ton to go around. SAG releases their statistics that only 3 percent of actors are working. And it creates this mindset that can be helpfully hungry and eager. And it can also really destroy the artistic spirit of what an artist has to offer. I think within that scarcity mindset, the goal of this is how I feed my family. This is how I gain health insurance, pension, and welfare. And I can't make that brave, bold choice because we don't have a casting director anymore. You don't have us in the room to be like, “Okay, let's just do that a little bit faster here. I know the director wants this. Let's just clip it up.” Or give you a simple redirect that could really change your performance. Now, a lot of us are doing that. We are adjusting people who give great self-tapes. Actors feel like I've got one shot at this. I'm sending it off into the void. It better be exactly what I think they want. The one thing that I have always stood by is that it's one audition in a lifetime of auditions. I am going to get the opportunity to audition again, and there is enough work for everyone. What's important for me is what's going on in the work. People ask me, “what do you look for in an actor?” And I'm like I'm looking for the actor who shows up a bit early, not too early. Knows they are, knows themselves. They are good at their job and I'm also looking for someone who when the work starts, they're focused on the work and not what I think of their work. Actors do have it tough in the sense that, it's the only art form where you have nothing to stand behind. You're not painting a picture to show me. You're not singing a song, which is separate from your acting. You're not doing a dance, which is your body and your emotions. But it's just you; it's just your subjective raw emotion. And I think what a lot of actors specifically, I love my New York actors in our market, they've all been to school. They're all crafty, great actors. And I think that a lot of actors think, “Gosh, I must be doing something wrong.” And so much of film and television is just subjective look-based. If you're in an audition with me, you're probably a well-trained, good actor. And so it's not about someone being such a better actor than you are. It's about the dinner party atmosphere we're trying to create. And somebody was a better fit. So we invited that person to the dinner party and not you this time. And that's hard. You can be the most talented actor in the world. You get the opportunity, but ultimately it does come down to who doesn't blink at the end. And I also feel that it's the person who knows they are good at their job. And what I want to give actors the perspective of is, you know what? Maybe you're doing everything right. Maybe you're doing everything right. And you just need to keep doing that. Because a lot of times, it's about what's being written. Are there roles for you right now that really fit your marketing package and your type? Do you fit the world? With our eyeballs. And so that has nothing to do with your craft a lot of the time. You do have to think about this as a business. And so you think about putting somebody on set, and when we get to cast somebody and it's their first job on a set like that's a great day. There is like buoyancy and adaptability that we're looking for in people to be able in that callback setting to turn something on their head if needed, to be able to take direction quickly. And if they're not understanding what we mean or what the director means, ask a question. Nobody's going to think you're stupid. Nobody's going to think you can't hear it well, or like that you don't agree. It's okay. We all have days when we're not that great at our jobs. If I give an actor a direction that's not clear, I don't want them to yes to me and nod their head. I want them to ask me a question and follow it up. If you're not understanding, then the two takes are going to look exactly the same. Read the directions out loud. I think it's really important that when you get a breakdown and, they say, submit it this way and, specifically, do your slate at the end. One of the things that I encourage the actors I work with is to really, read the directions out loud, then you know you've heard it, and highlight anything that's specific. Speaking of breakdowns, I think. A lot of times, people's focus on the breakdown will be the small adjective-filled description that we write instead of knowing that if you've got the audition, the breakdown has already done its job, that part of your job has already been done, your agent or manager or you submitted yourself based on the breakdown. I saw your headshot. I selected you. Now it's done. So you briefly look at the breakdown and ensure you're in the realm, but actors often get old breakdowns. And it's not because we're lazy. It's because we don't want to resubmit a breakdown with a subtle change to hundreds of agents and managers. So if an actor gets a breakdown and they're 55, the breakdown says 30 to 40, they freak out or they think their manager or agent isn't doing a good job. It's you just got an old breakdown; you don't have to worry about that anymore. Focus on the work.

Maine, with its picturesque landscapes and charming small towns, has been a source of inspiration for numerous authors throughout history. From Pulitzer Prize-winning novels to chilling horror stories, the state of Maine has served as a rich backdrop for literary exploration. In this blog post, we will delve into five captivating books that take place in Maine, each offering a unique perspective on the state and its people. "Empire Falls" by Richard Russo:Set in the fictional town of Empire Falls, this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel introduces readers to Miles Roby, the manager of a local diner. Through Roby's eyes, we witness the intricacies of small-town life, the complexities of family relationships, and the struggles of the working class. Richard Russo skillfully portrays the charm and idiosyncrasies of Maine's inhabitants while delving into themes of identity, love, and redemption. "The Country of the Pointed Firs" by Sarah Orne Jewett:Regarded as a masterpiece of regional literature, this classic novella is set in a small coastal town in Maine. The story revolves around a woman who spends her summer in the town, immersing herself in its culture and forming connections with the locals. Sarah Orne Jewett's evocative prose captures the essence of Maine's coastal beauty and paints a vivid portrait of the community that inhabits it. "Pet Sematary" by Stephen King:No exploration of Maine literature would be complete without mentioning the master of horror himself, Stephen King. "Pet Sematary" takes readers to a small town in Maine, where a doctor and his family move to start a new life. They soon stumble upon a pet cemetery with a dark secret, leading to a chilling chain of events. Stephen King's ability to blend supernatural elements with human emotions creates a captivating and spine-tingling tale that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. "Olive Kitteridge" by Elizabeth Strout:Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, "Olive Kitteridge" is a collection of interconnected stories set in the fictional town of Crosby, Maine. Elizabeth Strout weaves together the lives of various characters, with Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, serving as a central figure.

Jenny Eagan, costume designer for the new star-studded Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, has a career path defined by opportunities taken. Although she did not formally study costume design, her many award-winning projects feature characters who leap off the screen, thanks in no small part to her costumes. Who would have thought a girl from Independence, Missouri would end up in this profession? “Certainly not my Mom,” laughs Eagan. “I wanted to be a middle-school teacher to make a difference. Halfway through college, I switched to textile marketing and merchandising because I love clothes, but never knew that could lead to working in the entertainment industry.” Post-graduation, Eagan drove cross country to live in San Diego, where she became ‘excellent on rollerblades' before following friends to Los Angeles. She joined a temp agency and her first interview was for a low budget film. As fate would have it, Mary Zophres was the costume designer on her second temp job. Eagan shadowed her on weekends, getting coffee and grabbing lunches. She observed and absorbed everything, until Zophres invited her to join the team on Any Given Sunday, her first job as a production assistant. Six months at Western Costume Company gained her entry into the Union. She spent over a decade with Zophres, progressing from production assistant to assistant costume designer. “Mary hates when I say she was an amazing mentor, but I didn't know anything and she taught me everything.” Her first feature as a costume designer was Contraband, with Mark Wahlberg and director Baltasar Kormákur, but the project that launched her career was the first season of True Detective for HBO. The show garnered her the Costume Designers Guild Award for Best Contemporary Television Series in 2015. “It was an amazing experience and a confidence builder for me.” Eagan moved on to design several small but critically acclaimed films and television series including Olive Kitteridge which won her an Emmy, Widows, and the celebrated Beasts of No Nation. The first iteration of the Knives Out trilogy, written and directed by Rian Johnson, was an unmitigated hit. “Because of our limited shoot time, we had all guns blazing,” she says. “I feel like I fit every single one of the cast members the week before. Thankfully, Rian wrote well-defined characters and chose seasoned actors. We were all in sync.” She was awarded her third CDGA for her efforts. Johnson wanted everyone to ratchet it up for the sequel, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Eagan decided early on that most of the costumes would be custom made. Shooting on a remote island off Greece and in Serbia during Covid, she knew she could not count on shopping. She prepped in Los Angeles, anticipating multiples for principals and stunt doubles, then brought extra fabrics to cover her back. While designing the first Knives Out, Eagan forged great relationships with Johnson and producer Ram Bergman. They agreed that travel during the pandemic could be problematic and allowed her to bring her union team from Los Angeles. She brought ACD Jessica Albertson, supervisor Emily Egge, set costumer Claire Sandrin, and cutter/fitter Erica Ciaglia. “Claire, Emily, and I first worked together on No Country for Old Men (designed by Mary Zophres) and have collaborated as much as possible since. I was thankful for this luxury. I'm not a one-man show, we are a team.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We are delighted today to welcome back to Midday the writer Elizabeth Strout. She is the best-selling author of nine novels and many short stories. In 2009, she won the Pulitzer Prize for a terrific book, Olive Kitteridge. A film adaption of that book on HBO starred Frances McDormand and won eight Emmy Awards. Elizabeth Strout has revisited two of her iconic characters in subsequent books. We met Olive Kitteridge once more in Olive Again, and Olive makes an appearance in Elizabeth Strout's latest novel, too. In this new book, Strout keeps us current with another one of her magnificent characters, Lucy Barton. It's the fourth novel in which Lucy figures prominently. Like her book, Oh William! from last year, Strout centers this one on Lucy's friendship with her first husband, a successful scientist named William Gerhardt. The setting is a small town in Maine, where Lucy and William have sequestered themselves at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Lucy is a rich, wonderful character, and Elizabeth Strout is a wonderful writer who brings us into Lucy's loving and insightful mind with grace and compassion. The new novel is out today. It's called Lucy by the Sea. Elizabeth Strout joins us on Zoom from New York City.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this 2019 episode, John interviews the celebrated British writer Zadie Smith. The conversation quickly moves through Brexit (oh, the inhumanity!) and what it means to be a London–no, a Northwest London–writer before arriving at her case against identity politics. That case is bolstered by a discussion of Hannah Arendt on the difference between who and what a person is. Zadie and John also touch on the purpose of criticism and why it gets harder to hate as you (middle) age. She reveals an affection for “talkies” (as a “90's kid,” she can't help her fondness for Quentin Tarantino); asks whether young novelists in England need to write a book about Henry VIII just to break into bookstores; hears Hegel talking to Kierkegaard, and Jane Austen failing to talk to Jean Genet. Lastly, in Recallable Books, Zadie recommends Jean-Philippe Toussaint's The Bathroom. Transcript of the episode here.

Zdá sa, že ceny bytov, domov a celkovo nehnuteľností sú voči pandémii, a teda novej kríze odolné. Vlani pokračovali v raste a nič nenasvedčuje tomu, že by sa to malo v tomto roku zmeniť. Nehnuteľnosti vo veľkých mestách sa stávajú čoraz nedostupnejšie a postupne čelíme aj otázke nedostatku nového bývania. Ako je na tom realitný trh rok od začiatku pandémie? Jana Maťková sa pýtala Tomáša Vašutu, ekonomického redaktora magazínu Index denníka SME. Zdroj zvukov: TV Markíza - tvnoviny.sk Odporúčanie: Možno ste o nej už počuli a možno ste ju už aj čítali. Mne sa do rúk dostala až teraz a ak doteraz obchádzala aj vás, mali by ste jej dať šancu. Reč je o novele Olive Kitteridge od americkej spisovateľky Elizabeth Strout. Ide o spleť príbehov postáv z malého mestečka v americkom Maine, ktorých spoločným menovateľom je práve Olive. Niekde sa objavuje ako takmer neviditeľná vedľajšia postava, inde je hlavnou predstaviteľkou príbehu, pri ktorom spoznávame jej prísnu povahu. Knižka Olive Kitteridge je sondou do ľudských osudov, každodenných problém a útrap aj radostí duší. Prednedávnom vyšlo aj pokračovanie s názvom Znova Olive. – Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na dobrerano@sme.sk – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Podporte vznik podcastu Dobré ráno a kúpte si digitálne predplatné SME.sk na sme.sk/podcast – Odoberajte aj denný newsletter SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/suhrnsme – Ďakujeme, že počúvate podcast Dobré ráno.
