It's our last episode of Season Seven, and our last episode of 2024, which means it's Rotkäppchen time! Join us as we toast to Dead Ladies with German fizzy wine, and hear the story of another fabulous woman. DLS cofounders Katy Derbyshire and Florian Duijsens join the party as we get ready to hear the story of writer Paula Fox. As Florian explains, this talented author's personal plot twists and turns include a stint as foreign correspondent, receiving a baby alligator in the mail, writing award-winning children's books and a novel adapted for a film starring Shirley MacLaine, oh—also being Courtney Love's grandmother (but not knowing that for decades).

Vi har lest to bøker om to mødre som ikke får det helt til. Hos den ene er det selvvalgt. Hos den andre er det egentlig ikke viljen det står på, men der møter vi en mor som kunne trengt hjelp.

“That was really what I wanted to get at. The relationships that you have with the people who you love so much, and who you're so close with that you don't have to talk to them all the time.” All of Emma Straub's novels have big beating hearts, no matter who or what or where or when she's writing about. This Time Tomorrow is her “autobiographical time travel novel” and it's an absolute delight. Emma joins us on the show to talk about why she writes, giving herself permission to try something new, how she set her rules for time travel (and how she stays grounded), her horrifying teenage diaries, bookselling and much more with Poured Over's host, Miwa Messer. And we end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and bookseller guest Becky.

A propos du « Ravissement de Lol V. Stein », publié en 1964, Marguerite Duras écrivait qu'il est « un livre à part. Un livre seul. Qui opère à lui seul une séparation entre certains lecteurs-auteurs qui ont adhéré à la folie de L.V. Stein et les autres lecteurs du livre ». Pour l'acteur et réalisateur Nicolas Maury («Dix pour cent», «Garçon Chiffon»), ce roman de Marguerite Duras est «une musique très particulière». Il a voulu parler de ce livre car « c'est une façon moins embarrassante de parler de soi. Mais c'est aussi une façon de parler de soi, que de parler de ce qui nous frappe, nous caresse, nous contredit…» Cet épisode de "Truc culte" a initialement été mis en ligne le 28 septembre 2021. Les recommandations de Nicolas Maury : - Le roman « Suite suisse », d'Hélène Bessette, Éditions Léo Scheer, 2008 - Le film « Poussières dans le vent », de Hou Hsiao-hsien, 1986 - L'autobiographie « Parure d'emprunt », de Paula Fox, Éditions Joëlle Losfeld, 2008

Roman Obupanca ameriške pisateljice Paule Fox, ki je nastal že leta 1970, je pred skorajšnjo literarno pozabo rešilo navdušenje znanega pisatelja Jonathana Franzna, ki je ta roman postavil nad dela klasikov ameriškega povojnega realizma Updika, Rotha in Bellowa. Naslovna lika romana sta njujorška zakonca višjega srednjega razreda, ki jima zgodovinski trenutek poznih šestdesetih ni najbolj pisan na kožo. Ko Sophie ugrizne potepuški maček, se skuša pretvarjati, da se ni nič zgodilo. Toda ta prvi vdor zunanjega, potencialno nevarnega sveta, je le izhodišče za postopno razkrivanje skritih plasti odnosa zakoncev Brentwood. "Avtorica mojstrsko uspe skozi vsakdanje dialoge, malodane banalnosti v bralcu zbuditi določeno tesnobo. Čeprav so besede preproste, se v stavkih skrivajo številni podpomeni," izpostavlja prevajalka romana Jedrt Lapuh Maležič.
When you meet Joe Goldberg, you can tell he’s different. Hot. He doesn’t talk down to you or assume you don’t know who Paula Fox is. He’s charming and clever and makes you feel like the only person in the world, because to him, you are the only person in the world and nothing will stop him from convincing you that he and you belong together, Beck. Joe invites Julio Olivera back to Word Salad Radio for the very first episode of a new series all about the art of adaptation as they discuss Caroline Kepnes’ You, and its adaptation to a Lifetime/Netflix original series.

For our New York episode, we looked at Paula Fox's strange, slim novel from 1970, Desperate Characters, about a Brooklyn couple whose marriage may or may not be disintegrating. A marvel that fell out of print for a few decades, we highly recommend readers seek this book out. On the basketball side, we discuss the chances for a new-look Knicks team, which brought in ex-Bulls Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah this summer. Will they be good and for how long, and what does this mean for the long-term development of Kristaps Porzingis? (NB: We discuss Desperate Characters for the first 38 minutes of the podcast, then move on to the Knicks. And feel free to pick up a copy of Saul Bellow's Seize The Day and read along for our discussion next week--it clocks in at a breezy 114 pages! Also, we now have a twitter account (@fansnotespod) as well as an email address (fansnotes@gmail.com) so hit us up with any books you'd like us to read and discuss or other ideas for literature & sports discussions you'd like to see us undertake on the pod. Thanks for listening!

Paula Fox har livserfarenheter som räcker och blir över. Och skriva kan hon! Boken Förtvivlade människor räddade livet på den amerikanske författarkollegan Jonathan Franzen, och räknas nu som en modern klassiker. Marie Lundström har hälsat på hos Paula Fox, och bjuder på en intervju fylld av skratt, smärta och katthår. Alla har vi väl en relation till Ulf Lundell? Sedan genombrottet med 70-talets generationsroman Jack och debutplattan Vargmåne så har denna musiker och författare jobbat på med en produktivitet som ett kärnkraftverk bara kan drömma om. I höst är han aktuell med boken Visenterna. Vår reporter Katarina Wikars har läst och begrundat. Michail Sjisjkin är en 53-årig författare som vunnit alla stora litterära priser i Ryssland du kan komma på. Han är också en stark röst i den offentliga kritiken av det nuvarande politiska styret i landet. Numera bor Sjisjkin i Schweiz, men vår reporter Fredrik Wadström träffade honom under ett Sverigebesök för att bl a prata om boken Venushår som nyss kommit på svenska. Det är också en glädje att kunna säga att Lundströms Bokradio "äger problemet med maktklyschor". Jajamen, här är vi "i framkant, på tå, sätter agendan, pekar med hela handen och sätter ned foten". Vi pratar makt och språk tillsammans med språkboksförfattaren Lars Melin, och Kajsa Giertz, teaterchef på Västmanlands teater.
