Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Auster

Från moln till Mozart, från kustlinjer till livets slut, återfinns fraktaler. Helena Granström funderar över verklighetens och konstens struktur. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.När en matematiker försöker sig på att skämta kan det låta såhär:Vad står bokstaven B för i Benoit B Mandelbrot? Rätt svar: Benoit B Mandelbrot. Huruvida denna vits någonsin åstadkommer några skrattsalvor ska jag låta vara osagt, men den som förstår poängen har i alla fall också förstått vad som kännetecknar fraktalerna, de matematiska objekt som utforskades ingående av just denne Mandelbrot: att de innehåller delen som är helheten som innehåller delen som är helheten, och så vidare.Därav skämtets poäng: Namnet Benoit B Mandelbrot inneslutet i namnet Benoit B Mandelbrot inneslutet i namnet Benoit B Mandelbrot i all oändlighet.Man kan tänka på ett blomkålshuvud, eller ännu hellre på en romanesco: Bryt loss en bukett, och du kommer i denna bukett att få se det stora huvudet i mindre format. Bryt loss en mindre bukett av denna bukett, och så ännu en mindre från denna: Samma sak upprepar sig, med allt mindre kålhuvuden som fortsätter att spira från allt mindre kålhuvuden. En ovanligt hänförande fraktal kallad Mandelbrotmängden upptäcktes av Mandelbrot själv, och karakteriseras av att en förhållandevis enkel formel ger upphov till en närmast outtömlig komplexitet: ett outgrundligt överflödande universum alstrat av en simpel instruktion. Inför denna rikedom är det svårt att hålla fast vid tanken på att matematiken bara skulle vara något som människan har hittat på: ”Mandelbrotmängden är”, som matematikern Roger Penrose påpekat, ”inte något som det mänskliga sinnet har uppfunnit; den upptäcktes.” Precis på samma sätt som Mount Everest, finns den bara där.Men fraktalerna existerar alltså inte enbart i den rena matematikens sfär, utan i högsta grad i verkligheten: Vi kan finna dem i kustlinjer och floddeltan, ormbunkar och åskviggar, blodkärl och neuroner, galaxkluster och bergskedjor och moln. I var och en av dessa strukturer ser man helheten upprepa sig i de mindre delarna: Den som betraktar en del av en bergig kust kan inte utifrån dess form avgöra om det är en liten sträcka som de ser på nära håll, eller en längre på stort avstånd; och varje liten del av ett moln skulle, betraktad för sig själv, lika gärna kunna vara det stora molnet självt. Till och med vår arvsmassa är arrangerad enligt denna struktur, inpassad i den trånga cellkärnan genom identiska vikningar som sker i mindre och mindre skala. Naturen är, med andra ord, i högsta grad fraktal – och år 2016 kom ett antal polska kärnfysiker lite oväntat också fram till slutsatsen att detsamma gäller litteraturen.Det är en häpnadsväckande upptäckt, även om den kanske är lite mindre fruktbar än vad en författare skulle önska – för hur gärna jag än vill skulle jag inte kunna låta varje stycke i denna essä utgöra en miniatyr av helheten – och varje mening en miniatyr av varje stycke – och varje ord en miniatyr av varje mening. Även om det hade varit outsägligt elegant. Den amerikanska författaren Paul Auster har visserligen gjort gällande att den första meningen i hans roman Mr Vertigo innehåller essensen av hela verket – men den fraktala strukturen i kända verk av författare som Virginia Woolf och Robert Bolano låter sig avtäckas först genom ingående statistisk analys. De litteraturintresserade polska fysikerna genomförde till exempel en kartläggning av fördelningen av meningarnas längd i de romaner de studerade: Vad som framträdde var en form av idealt fraktalmönster, särskilt skönjbart i den typ av litteratur som brukar betecknas som medvetandeström. Mest fraktal av alla – till och med multifraktal, det vill säga innehållande fraktaler av fraktaler – lär James Joyces svårgenomträngliga Finnegan's Wake vara. När det gäller lyrik har en ambitiös forskare med en besläktad metod lyckats med konststycket att finna Cantormängden, en annan känd fraktal, i form av förekomsten av ordet know i en dikt av den amerikanske poeten Wallace Stevens. Och även i musiken är det möjligt att finna fraktala strukturer – föga förvånande till exempel hos en kompositör som Johann Sebastian Bach, i vars tredje cellosvit en musicerande matematiker lyckats identifiera ett påfallande exakt exempel på samma Cantormängd.Bevisar det att konstnärerna, tidigare än matematikerna, har förmått att uppfatta tillvarons inre struktur? Att dessa skapande människor på ett omedvetet vis har anat formen hos de kärl som fyller människokroppens lungvävnad, hos de kärl i vilka dess blod flödar och hos det nätverk av nervceller som överhuvudtaget gör aningar – omedvetna eller inte – möjliga. Kanske är det denna djupt liggande intuition som Mandelbrot själv också anspelar på när han konstaterar att barn inte undrar ”över temperaturen hos en gas eller kollisioner mellan atomer, utan över formerna hos träd, moln och blixtar.” Undrar de, för att de i dessa former identifierar något märkvärdigt bekant, något som lånar sin form också åt deras eget inre?Men å andra sidan skulle författarnas benägenhet att skriva fram fraktaler kunna ges en mer prosaisk förklaring än så, för också det mänskliga livets yttre ramar låter oss ju stifta bekantskap med det fraktala: Dygnet kan förstås som en miniatyr av året som i sin tur kan framstå som en miniatyr av det mänskliga livsförloppet. Men inte bara det: Möjligen, skriver matematikern Michael Frame i den märkliga lilla skriften The Geometry of Grief, kan även sorgen sägas uppvisa en självlikhet på olika skalor, eftersom varje sorg i sin tur består av många små delsorger, varje förlust av en mängd olika möjligheter eller tillfällen eller erfarenheter som för alltid gått förlorade. Inuti sorgen över en älskad människas bortgång, oövervinnerlig i sin väldighet, finns sorgen över att aldrig mer få hålla hennes hand, över att aldrig mer få höra hennes röst, över att aldrig mer få vända sig till henne med sina tankar. Och det faktum att de många små sorgerna liknar den stora sorgen i art om än inte i storlek gör det möjligt, fortsätter Frame sitt resonemang, att öva sig: Att lära sig ett sätt att tackla den väldiga, till synes ohanterliga sorgen, genom att prövande och försiktigt ta sig an de mindre sorgerna, en i sänder. Och betraktat med den fraktala geometrins blick framstår på sätt och vis hela livet så, som en repetition i liten skala för de stora skeenden som hela tiden – och samtidigt, bara långsammare – utspelar sig: varje glädje en liten replik av den större glädjen, varje misslyckande och varje närmande och varje känslosvall en replik av sina större motsvarigheter av vilka de också utgör en del. Och förstås – detta är väl den fraktala livsstrukturens dystraste sida – utgör var och en av tillvarons otaliga förluster en sorts miniatyr av den slutliga förlust som väntar oss alla, den av livet självt.Hur man ska gaska upp sig efter en sådan nedslående insikt är inte helt klart – men kanske kan åtminstone matematikerna ibland oss finna lättnad i ännu ett exempel på humor för de få:–Hur gick det för matematikern som blev gammal och sjuk, dog han? –Nejdå. Han förlorade bara några av sina funktioner. Helena Granströmförfattare med bakgrund inom fysik och matematik

En esta entrega de #Cartagrafías, Laura Piñero nos habla del libro de Paul Auster “Creí que mi padre era Dios”, editado en 2002 por Anagrama en España. Un libro que, como el escritor indica en el prólogo, no estaba en sus planes y que surgió gracias a un programa de la radio pública de Estados Unidos. Recoge las historias que miles oyentes le enviaron por carta. 

W Bełkocie literackim nr #27 rozmawiamy o rzeczach ostatecznych, a to za sprawą ostatniej powieści jednego z najsłynniejszych pisarzy amerykańskich przełomu wieków – Paula Austera (1947–2024). „Baumgartner” w anegdotycznym, bardzo austerowskim stylu opowiada historię starszego profesora filozofii, nowojorczyka oczywiście (jak to u Austera), który od dekady próbuje ułożyć sobie życie po tragicznej śmierci ukochanej żony. Zmagania z codziennością i starzejącym się własnym ciałem, wylegeające z wszystkich kątów bolesne wspomnienia, nieśmiałe próby budowania nowych relacji – wszystko to brzmi, przygnębiająco, prawda? Tymczasem z rozmowy, w której udział wzięli Kasia Janusik, Jana Karpienko i Waldek Mazur, wyłania się zupełnie inny odbiór tej powieści – dużo bardziej optymistyczny i zniuansowany.„Baumgartnera” na język polski przełożyła Maria Makuch, opublikowało Wydawnictwo Znak. A odcinek zrealizował Piotr „Piciu” Pflegel.Zapraszamy do słuchania! 

La vida, la experiencia vital, las aventuras de cada día, las reales y las imaginadas son el eje de nuestro programa de hoy, con una de las novelas más interesantes de estos primeros meses de 2025 y el diario de Javier Aguirre, docente, y coordinador de la revista Rolde. Benjamín García Rosado firma “El vuelo del hombre”, una novela de historias, a la manera de Paul Auster, un libro de aventuras para adultos, que comienza indagando en el origen del lenguaje y termina llevando al lector de aventura en aventura. Un escritor en crisis de ideas, una primera novela de éxito internacional, la necesidad de seguir escribiendo y una propuesta que le cambia la vida y que engancha a los lectores en esta aventura monumental.Javier Aguirre es profesor de Filosofía en la Universidad del País Vasco, y su trabajo le ha permitido pasar temporadas en Grecia. Ahora, publica con Xordica “Diario ateniense de un lanzador de naranjas”, sus diarios personales escritos durante varias estancias docentes en Atenas, con escapadas a Tesalónica, Estambul o Cerdeña. A través de ellas conocemos calles, anécdotas, personas y personajes en una narración amena que se escurre como pasan los días felices.

En Baumgartner, Auster explora los temas de la vejez, la muerte y el duelo. Un hombre, escritor, recorre sus días diez años después de la muerte de su adorada esposa. Es una novela lenta que genera un ambiente de letanía y de un acompañamiento pausado del protagonista. Algunos cambios de género sorprenden, pues no es solo su voz, también la de su mujer, a través de cartas, las que van armando la historia de amor y las personalidades de la pareja. Como invitado especial nos acompaña Robinson Vega.

"Baumgartner" to powieść Paula Austera, ukazująca się niemal równy rok po śmierci jej autora. Określana jest jako najpogodniejsza książka amerykańskiego pisarza. Intensywna, poruszająca, przesycona tęsknotą i pełna zachwytu nad codziennością. Jest tu przede wszystkim miejsce na miłość, ale również i na żałobę.

Tres décadas llevan con nosotros Bevilacqua y Chamorro, la pareja de Guardias civiles que sentimos como nuestros, como si fuera de la familia. Desde El lejano país de los estanques hasta Las fuerzas contrarias, Lorenzo Silva ha ido construyendo la historias de estos dos personajes, y también la del propio país. No solo ellos han evolucionado. También España. Y España se vio paralizada, como todo el planeta, por culpa de un bicho, un patógeno que nos tuvo encerrados durante meses. Pero no se dejó de matar.En el Club, nuestro pequeño homenaje al subteniente Rubén Bevilacqua y a la brigada Virgina Chamorro, con su creador, Lorenzo Silva. La nueva entrega está publicada por Destino, como siempre.No es la única pareja de guardias civiles que se pasea por este Club de Lectura. Lo hacen también Daniel y Jesús, que se ven obligados a investigar la muerte de un anciano en un valle minero de Asturias. Leticia Sierra ha puesto en pie una novela criminal titulada Lo que oculta la tierra, y que ha publicado Planeta. En la sección de Audiolibros, la obra final de Paul Auster, Baumargtner. Una reflexión sobre lo que supone amar a alguien. La historia de un profesor universitario que hace nueve años perdió a su mujer. Y los problemas que tuvo Molière para ser enterrado. ¿Por qué nadie quería darle sepultura?

In the spotlight is the late, great novelist Paul Auster and one of his friends and biographers, I.B. Siegumfeldt, who spent three years logging conversations between herself and Paul Auster and compiling those conversations into a book titled A LIFE IN WORDS — a wide-ranging dialogue between Auster and the Danish professor, in what has been called a “remarkably candid and sharply focused investigation” into Auster's art, craft and life. In total, Paul Auster wrote more than 30 books, some translated into more than forty languages, as well as writing the screenplays for a selection of films. We discuss: >> The first sentence of his novels>> His imaginative characters and storytelling>> Work style>> Popularity in Europe>> The Paul Auster Research Library and The Paul Auster Society>> His passion for and involvement in cinema>> Etc. Learn more about Paul Auster here: https://www.faber.co.uk/author/paul-auster Learn more about I.B. “Gita” Siegumfeldt here: https://researchprofiles.ku.dk/en/persons/inge-birgitte-siegumfeldtNovelist Spotlight is produced and hosted by Mike Consol.

"Att söka efter sig själv och hitta en främling". Så beskriver Maja resultatet när man som läsare - eller huvudperson - försöker lösa gåtor och reda i de frågor kring identitet och sanning som är så betydelsefulla i Paul Austers författarskap. Så inte minst i New York-trilogin, som är det verk av den amerikanska författaren som Solen pratar mest om denna gång. Paul Auster föddes 1947 och dog i april 2024, och hans författarskap blev stilbildande på 90-talet med sin postmoderna stil där allting flyter - ont och gott, jag och du, sanning och fiktion. Hur är det att läsa honom idag, och varför blev han så betydelsefull? Det funderar Solen kring i detta samtal, inspelat i oktober 2024. Solen är en podcast om litteratur med bibliotekarierna Alice Thorburn, Elias Hillström, Maja Bünger och Patrik Schylström från Stadsbiblioteket i Stockholm. I detta avsnitt deltar också Caroline Karlsson.

Javier Macipe , Pepe Lorente y Cuti Carabajal; director y protagonistas respectivamente de 'La Estrella Azul' (2024), han ido más allá de la ficción para hacer realidad el sueño de Mauricio Aznar (1964-2000) y están sumergidos en una gira para tocar el repertorio folclórico argentino que Aznar siempre quiso llevar (entre otros escenarios) a las fiestas del Pilar de su natal Zaragoza. Disfrutamos de algunas canciones de su repertorio en directo. También charlamos con Inés Martín Rodrigo, con motivo del homenaje que hay programado esta tarde en el Círculo de Bellas Artes de Madrid, dedicado al gran Paul Auster, fallecido el pasado 30 de abril. Además pasamos por la 'Pequeteca' de Leticia Audibert, un repaso por la próxima 'Feria del Libro de Guadalajara' con Susana Santaolalla... y otras noticias, como una muestra sobre los hermanos Machado en Sevilla, nueva jornada de la 'Seminci' en Valladolid, o los galardonados con el 'Premio Nacional a la mejor Traducción' y a la 'Obra de un traductor', entre otras.Escuchar audio

In the third episode of “Notes on a Native Son,” host Razia Iqbal sits down with the celebrated writer of novels and essays, Siri Hustvedt. When Hustvedt was invited to record a conversation for the podcast about her favorite passage from the work of James Baldwin, the timing in so many ways couldn't have been worse — it turned out to be the last few weeks of life for her husband, writer Paul Auster. However, a few weeks after his passing, Hustvedt reached out to say that she was ready.She felt that re-reading and talking about Baldwin would somehow be a balm for her grief. Hustvedt describes how Baldwin's novels “possessed” her as a young reader and discusses his intricate ability to recognize the oppressor within, even as he gave a voice to the oppressed.Notes from America is a 2024 Signal Awards finalist!

On this month's World Book Club, Harriett Gilbert will be talking to bestselling American writer Paul Auster about his acclaimed work The New York Trilogy. In three brilliant variations on the classic detective story, Auster makes the well-traversed terrain of New York City his own. Each interconnected tale exploits the elements of standard detective fiction to achieve an entirely new genre that was ground-breaking when it was published three decades ago. In each story the search for clues leads to remarkable coincidences in the universe as the simple act of trailing a man ultimately becomes a startling investigation of identity and what it means to be human. Hear what readers made of Paul and his novel and what happened when another Paul Auster stood up to introduce himself to the Paul Auster on the stage.

Voice assistants have become a constant presence in our lives. Maybe you talk to Alexa or Gemini or Siri to ask a question or to perform a task. Maybe you have to do a little back and forth with a voice bot whenever you call your pharmacy, or when you book a service appointment at your car dealership. You may even get frustrated and start pleading with the robot on the other end of the line to connect you with a real human.That's the catch, though: These voice bots are starting to sound a lot more like actual humans, with emotions in their voice, little ticks and giggles in between phrases, and the occasional flirty aside. Today's voice-powered chatbots are blurring the lines between what's real and what's not, which prompts a complicated ethical question: Can you trust a bot that insists it's actually human?This week, Lauren Goode tells us about her recent news story on a bot that was easily tricked into lying and saying it was a human. And WIRED senior writer Paresh Dave tells us how AI watchdogs and government regulators are trying to prevent natural-sounding chatbots from misrepresenting themselves.Show Notes:Read more about the Bland AI chatbot, which lied and said it was human. Read Will Kight's story about researchers' warnings of the manipulative power of emotionally expressive chatbots.Recommendations:Lauren recommends The Bee Sting by Paul Murray. (Again.) Paresh recommends subscribing to your great local journalism newsletter or Substack to stay informed on important local issues. Mike recommends Winter Journal, a memoir by Paul Auster.Paresh Dave can be found on social media @peard33.

In this week's episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with Chiara Lo Prete, an associate professor of energy economics at Penn State University, about the design of electricity markets in the United States. Lo Prete discusses the differences among electricity markets in different regions of the country; efforts to ensure that electric utilities can meet demand for electricity under adverse conditions, such as extreme weather events; and new designs of electricity markets that aim to accommodate both growing demand for electricity and the further integration of renewable energy resources into the US electric grid.

Back in March, the US Environmental Protection Agency finalized a long in the works rule requiring automakers here to dramatically increase the number of battery-powered vehicles they're putting on the roads. The government has mandated that by 2032, more than half of new cars sold must be electric. There are some caveats, namely that plug-in hybrid cars will fulfill the federal requirements for what a “battery-powered” vehicle is. This has led to a flood of hybrid cars hitting the market. This week, we talk about what this means for people who are considering buying a new car now, or in the next few years. We explain the differences between plug-in hybrids, full hybrids, and electrics, and we tell you what your options are if you live in an apartment without a convenient place to plug in your car while it's parked. We are joined this week by WIRED staff writer Aarian Marshall, who breaks down the facts, shatters the myths, and turns us all into hybrid car experts.This episode originally aired on April 2, 2024.

2024 yılının Mayıs ayında kaybettiğimiz Amerikalı yazar Paul Auster'ın anısına bir bölümle geliyor bu kez “ben okurum” kulaklarınıza. Yazarın 14 kitabını dilimize kazandıran deneyimli çevirmen Seçkin Selvi'nin konuk olduğu programda Auster'ın hastalığı sırasında yazdığı son romanı Baumgartner merkeze alınıyor ama sohbet ister istemez genişliyor, genelleşiyor ve bir saygı duruşuna dönüşüyor. Deniz Yüce Başarır'ın, romandan okuduğu bölümlerle de dinleyenleri duygulandırıyor.

Paul Auster spoke with Eleanor Wachtel about his novel Oracle Night, the ways in which reality and fiction blend and how coincidences shape our lives at the Blue Metropolis Literary Festival in Montreal in 2004. The writer of The New York Trilogy, Leviathan and 4 3 2 1, among many other books, was best known for his postmodernist fiction and meta-narratives. He died on April 30, 2024. He was 77. 

Last week, news broke that writer Paul Auster died from complications related to lung cancer. The New York Times called him “the patron saint of literary Brooklyn;” elsewhere he was dubbed "the dean of American postmodernists." He was the author of many novels such as The New York Trilogy, and he wrote screenplays, memoirs, and nonfiction, including Burning Boy: The Life and Work of Stephen Crane.He was also a long-time friend of Brooke and her husband Fred Kaplan — they lived a few blocks away from each other in their Brooklyn neighborhood. In November of 2021, Paul Auster walked over to Brooke's home studio to talk about Stephen Crane.   On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

The New York Times described Paul Auster as the "Patron Saint of Literary Brooklyn." He died Tuesday of complications of lung cancer. He was 77. We'll listen back to some of our interviews with him, including one about his early career when he was desperately trying to make a living as writer, and even tried writing porn.Justin Chang reviews the new film The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

We were saddened to learn of Paul Auster's passing on April 30, at the age of 77. In his memory, revisit this interview, which originally ran on November 5, 2021, on the late author's favorite writer: Stephen Crane. Exploding the Canon will return next week. In his decades-long career, the writer Paul Auster has turned his hand to poems, essays, plays, novels, translations, screenplays, memoirs—and now biography. Burning Boy explores the life and work of Stephen Crane, whose short time on earth sputtered out at age 28 from tuberculosis. Like his biographer, Crane, too, spanned genres—poetry, novels, short stories, war reporting, and semi-fictional newspaper “sketches”—striking it big in 1895 with The Red Badge of Courage, which was widely celebrated at the time and is still regarded as his best work. But in Auster's estimation, the rest of Crane's output (and there is a surprising amount of it) is sorely neglected, and the pleasure of Burning Boy lies in reading one of the 19th century's finest writers alongside one of today's. Paul Auster joins the podcast to talk about the task of restoring Stephen Crane to the American canon.Go beyond the episode:Paul Auster's Burning BoyRead Steven G.

Whoosh, it's been a big week and a half and we're here to make sense of it for you and provide a bit of respite.

UCLA is the latest US university campus to be hit by clashes between pro-Palestinian demonstrators and their opponents. The American Secretary of State Anthony Blinken pushes to get more aid into Gaza, while urging Hamas to accept a ceasefire deal. Why are women footballers more likely to get injured during their periods? And remembering Paul Auster, the American author who's died at the age of 77.

Chaotic scenes on US university campuses after police raid a sit-in protest at Columbia University in New York making more than 100 arrests, and violence breaks out between rival demonstrators at UCLA in Los Angeles.Also in the programme: protestors in the Georgian capital Tbilisi clash with riot police as a proposed new law polarises opinion between pro EU and pro Russian elements; could this have far wider consequences? And we reflect on the life of American novelist Paul Auster who has died.(IMAGE: CHP officers put on their gear amid clashes near an encampment (not pictured) by supporters of Palestinians in Gaza, on the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) campus, in Los Angeles, California, U.S., May 1, 2024 / CREDIT: Reuters / David Swanson)

It is said that people never die until the last person says their name. In memory of the writer and director Paul Auster, who passed away this week, we're sharing this conversation we had back in 2017 after the publication of his novel 4 3, 2, 1. Auster reflects on his body of work, life, and creative process.Paul Auster was the bestselling author of Winter Journal, Sunset Park, Invisible, The Book of Illusions, and The New York Trilogy, among many other works. He has been awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature, the Prix Médicis étranger, an Independent Spirit Award, and the Premio Napoli. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and is a Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. He has also penned several screenplays for films such as Smoke (1995), as well as Lulu on the Bridge (1998) and The Inner Life of Martin Frost (2007), which he also directed.“But what happens is a space is created. And maybe it's the only space of its kind in the world in which two absolute strangers can meet each other on terms of absolute intimacy. I think this is what is at the heart of the experience and why once you become a reader that you want to repeat that experience, that very deep total communication with that invisible stranger who has written the book that you're holding in your hands. And that's why I think, in spite of everything, novels are not going to stop being written, no matter what the circumstances. We need stories. We're all human beings, and it's stories from the moment we're able to talk.”We apologize for the quality of the recording since it was not originally meant to be aired as a podcast.
