Can one decision be the fulcrum of a life?Or is destiny really millions of tiny choices swirled with events out of our control? That's one of the many questions at the heart of Eric Puchner's gorgeous new novel, “Dream State.” It's received a dizzying amount of praise since it was released in February — making the New York Times best seller list, becoming an Oprah Book Club pick. But despite the buzz, the novel is deceptively hard to pin down. Set in rural Montana, the book begins with two college buddies, as one of them, Charlie, prepares to marry the love of his life. But when Cece heads to the family cabin early to prepare for the wedding and meets no-nonsense best friend Garrett, her world wobbles. What happens next — amidst a wedding besieged by norovirus — launches the next 50 years, as the three friends remain intertwined by regrets and grief, possibilities and love. Puchner joins host Kerri Miller for a wide-ranging conversation on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas. Among topics of discussion: why so few authors write about male friendship, why meeting friends from your beloved's past can be so perilous and why setting “Dream State” in a Montana cabin was so crucial to the plot. Guest:Eric Puchner is an associate professor in the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University and the author of the novel “Model Home,” as well as several short stories. His new book is “Dream State.” Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller podcast 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.

My chat with Eric Puchner about his incredible Oprah's Book Club pick Dream State. We discussed (1) writing the "good old fashioned" novel, (2) writing the "big little" emotional moment on which stories often turn, and (3) whether you should write as if everyone you know is dead.

Eric Puchner is the author of two story collections — Music Through the Floor and Last Day on Earth. His first novel, Model Home, was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award in Fiction. His latest novel, Dream State, publishes February 18. He joins Marrie Stone to talk about it. They discuss controlling time in a novel, since the book takes place over generations and moves not linearly but fluidly through time. They also talk about anticipating the future, because the novel projects ahead in time. They discuss point of view, bringing real world issues like climate change and environmentalism into your work in non-moralizing ways, and what he advises his students about writer's block. They also discuss the current world of agents and editors and what he's learned in his decades of publishing, and so much more. As a bonus, Eric and his wife, novelist Katherine Noel, collaborated on an essay entitled I Married a Novelist, a fun, funny, and delightful read.

Amidst all the doom and gloom of the current zeitgeist, Harvard University literature professor & DLD 2025 speaker Martin Puchner remains cautiously optimistic about our high tech future. Reflecting on cultural and technological changes over the past 20 years. Puchner explains how digital technology has transformed academic research and teaching since 2005, noting how the internet has made obscure texts more accessible and changed how scholars work. While acknowledging concerns about declining humanities enrollment and student reading habits, Puchner maintains a cautiously optimistic outlook. He observes that while fewer top students choose to study literature, there's been a growth in public engagement with humanities through book clubs, podcasts, and adult education. Puchner offers nuanced perspectives on several contemporary issues, including the rise of student anxiety (which he attributes more to psycho-pharmaceuticals than technology), the paradox of people valuing reading while actually reading less, and the role of AI in education. He suggests that AI's ability to summarize texts might complement rather than replace deep reading, particularly for fiction where the reading experience itself is central. Looking ahead to 2045, Puchner is particularly optimistic about education's future, believing that interactive online platforms and AI could help democratize high-quality education globally. However, he maintains that human teachers will remain essential due to the affective, interpersonal nature of education—something demonstrated during COVID-19 when in-person interaction was lost. He sees technology as augmenting rather than replacing traditional educational experiences, much as print didn't eliminate lectures and film didn't replace theater.Martin Puchner, the Byron and Anita Wien Professor at Harvard University, is a prize-winning author, educator, public speaker, and institution builder in the arts and humanities. His writings range from philosophy and theater to culture and technology and have been translated into many languages. Through his best-selling Norton Anthology of World Literature and his HarvardX MOOC Masterpieces of World Literature, he has brought four thousand years of literature to audiences across the globe. His book, The Written World, which tells the story of literature from the invention of writing to the Internet, has been widely reviewed in The New York Times, The Times (London), the Financial Times, The Times Literary Supplement, The Atlantic, The Economist, among others, covered on radio and television, and has been translated into over twenty languages. It appeared on the Wall Street Journal bestseller list and received the Massachusetts Book Award. His book The Language of Thieves has been praised as an unusual combination of scholarship and memoir, and the writing, compared to Stevenson's Treasure Island and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. An adventurous foray into the philosophy of language, it is also a reckoning with Germany's past. His book Literature for a Changing Planet is based on the inaugural Oxford University Lectures in European History, delivered in November 2019, has been reviewed in the Financial Times, The New York Review of Books and other venues. It calls for a new approach to storytelling and climate change. His most recent book, Culture: The Story of Us, tells a global history of culture that raises fundamental questions about how culture works, and how different cultures should relate to one another. In hundreds of lectures and workshops from the Arctic Circle to Brazil and from the Middle East to China, he has advocated for the arts and humanities in a changing world. At Harvard, he has instituted these ideas in a new program in theater, dance and media as well as in the Mellon School of Theater and Performance Research, which lasted from 2010-2022. Among his prizes are a Guggenheim Fellowship, fellowships at the Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin and at the Cullman Center at the New York Public Library, the Berlin Prize, and the 2021 Humboldt Prize. He is a permanent member of the European Academy.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Mit über 30 Jahren Erfahrung prägt sie die Bereiche Persönlichkeitsentwicklung und systemische Beratung - und inspiriert Menschen, mutig ihren eigenen Weg zu gehen. Mit Aussagen wie „Jedes Leben kann gelingen, wenn man sich den Herausforderungen aktiv stellt“ oder „Der größte Feind der Frau ist die Frau selbst“ regt sie dazu an, alte Denkmuster zu hinterfragen und neue Perspektiven einzunehmen. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über ihren außergewöhnlichen Karriereweg - von der examinierten Krankenschwester zur Psychotherapeutin für Einzelne, Familien und Gruppen, von der Mediation zur Führungskräfteentwicklung und Rednerin auf großen Bühnen. Persönlichkeitsstile und Prägungen: Wie beeinflussen Erziehung, Kultur und Umwelt unsere Persönlichkeit - und wie können wir uns davon lösen? Frauen und Sichtbarkeit: Warum fällt es Frauen oft schwerer, sichtbar zu sein? Und wie können sie sich selbst stärken? Risiken und Chancen der Sichtbarkeit: Wie stärkt Sichtbarkeit das Selbstbewusstsein - und welche Gefahren birgt sie für die Psyche?

In der aktuellen Sommerstaffel geben sich die Podcast Gäste geradezu die Klinke in die Hand. Warum Mirjam Puchner kaum Podcasts hört, Peking mehr als nur schräg für sie war und welche Frage ihr noch nie gestellt wurde, hören Sie in der dritten Episode der Sommerstaffel 2024 von „wos dahinter steckt“.

Geschichten können vieles: berühren, sensibilisieren, mitreissen. Die Fünf-vor-zwölf-Rhetorik tut nichts davon, sagt Martin Puchner, Professor an der renommierten Harvard Universität. Wollen wir die Krisen unserer Zeit meistern, brauchen wir neue und bessere Erzählungen. Die Menschheit erzählt Geschichten, seit sie der Sprache mächtig ist. Erforscht man die Weltliteratur, erforscht man deshalb immer auch sich selbst. Für Martin Puchner, Professor für Literaturwissenschaft und Komparatistik an der renommierten Harvard Universität in den USA, liegen in diesen Zeugnissen die Schlüssel zum Verständnis heutiger Krisen. So ist bereits das Gilgamesch-Epos, das rund 4000 Jahre alt ist, eine Katastrophenerzählung, wie sie Hollywood nicht besser erzählen könnte. In der Bewegung der «Prepper», die sich zu Selbstversorgern ausbilden, um beim grossen Showdown zu überleben, erkennt Puchner die Wiederbelebung des Mythos von Noah, der sich und seine Lieben mit einer Arche rettete. In unseren Geschichten erkennen wir aber nicht nur uns selbst, mit Geschichten können wir uns auch neu erfinden. Die Frage ist bloss: Welche Narrative prägen die Zukunft – und welche Medien? Denken wir weit in die Zukunft, wird die Menschheitsgeschichte irgendwann ein leises Kräuseln auf dem Ozean der Ewigkeit gewesen sein. In Zeitkapseln werden heute Botschaften versteckt für Zivilisationen, die vielleicht nach uns kommen. Doch wird sie je jemand entziffern können – und vor allem: Warum wird das getan? Barbara Bleisch trifft den umtriebigen Harvard-Professor am Zürcher Philosophie Festival zum Gespräch.

Why we must learn to tell new stories about our relationship with the earth if we are to avoid climate catastrophe.  Reading literature in a time of climate emergency can sometimes feel a bit like fiddling while Rome burns. Yet, at this turning point for the planet, scientists, policymakers, and activists have woken up to the power of stories in the fight against global warming.  In Literature for a Changing Planet (Princeton UP, 2022), Martin Puchner ranges across four thousand years of world literature to draw vital lessons about how we put ourselves on the path of climate change—and how we might change paths before it's too late. From the Epic of Gilgamesh and the West African Epic of Sunjata to the Communist Manifesto, Puchner reveals world literature in a new light—as an archive of environmental exploitation and a product of a way of life responsible for climate change. Literature depends on millennia of intensive agriculture, urbanization, and resource extraction, from the clay of ancient tablets to the silicon of e-readers. Yet literature also offers powerful ways to change attitudes toward the environment. Puchner uncovers the ecological thinking behind the idea of world literature since the early nineteenth century, proposes a new way of reading in a warming world, shows how literature can help us recognize our shared humanity, and discusses the possible futures of storytelling. If we are to avoid environmental disaster, we must learn to tell the story of humans as a species responsible for global warming. Filled with important insights about the fundamental relationship between storytelling and the environment, Literature for a Changing Planet is a clarion call for readers and writers who care about the fate of life on the planet.

Book Industry Month continues with a memory-lane voyage back to a beloved early RtB episode. This conversation with Martin Puchner about the very origins of writing struck us as perfect companion to Mark McGurl's wonderful insights (in RtB 67, published earlier this month) about the publishing industry's in 2021, or as Mark tells it, the era of "adult diaper baby love." Aside from being a fabulous conversation about Martin's wonderful history of book production through the ages (The Written World) this episode brings back happy memories of Elizabeth and John piling their guests into a cozy sound booth at Brandeis, the kind of place that's utterly taboo in Pandemic America.So travel with us back to 2019 for a close encounter with the epic of Gilgamesh. The three friends discuss the different stages of world writing--from the time of the scribes to the time of great teachers like Confucius, Socrates and Jesus Christ, who had a very complicated relationship to writing. In Recallable Books, Martin recommends the fan fiction website Wattpad; Elizabeth recommends "No Reservations: Narnia," in which Anthony Bourdain goes through the wardrobe. John feints at recommending Dennis Tenen's book on the writing within coding before recommending the Brautigan Library. Come for the discussion of writing, stay for the impressions of Gollum! Discussed in this episode: The Written World: The Power of Stories to Shape People, History and Civilization, Martin Puchner Gilgamesh: A New Rendering in English Verse, David Ferry Wattpad "No Reservations: Narnia," Edonohana Plain Text: The Poetics of Computation, David Tenen The Brautigan Library Episode transcript available here: Episode 6 Puchner 3.28.19 Elizabeth Ferry is Professor of Anthropology at Brandeis University.

Martin Puchner's book is "The Written World: The Power of Stories to Shape People, History, Civilization." Puchner examines the critical role that language- and particularly written language- has played in human development and in human history.

Literary historian Martin Puchner's journey with languages started early and unexpectedly: a series of seemingly unconnected events led to his discovery that he was the last speaker of an almost forgotten medieval language, Rotwelsch. In his research into what this language was — where it came from, who spoke it, and why — Puchner was forced to confront the good and the bad in his own family's history and how he would choose to inherit the Rotwelsch legacy. Host: R. Jay Magill, Producer: Tony Andrews, Photo: Annette Hornischer, Music: "Mischief" and "Neugierig" by Ryan Rainer; "I Leaned My Back Against an Oak" by Axletree; "Jolenta Clears The Table" by Doctor Turtle.

In the second hour, host Fr. Jason Lefor spoke with Bluette Puchner about how her life was changed through something called “Koinonia.” Fr. Lefor then took us on our 10-Minute Tour of local events. Fr. Paul Kuhn and seminarian Andrew Meyer talked about whether the priests of the Diocese of Fargo or the seminarians will be victorious in this year's Collar Classic basketball game. Finally, our host joined the Diocese of Winona-Rochester’s Bishop John Quinn to talk about why we need to remember the importance of when Christmas actually begins.

In this episode, you can hear a conversation between Martin Puchner and Helge Jordheim about literature’s role in shaping the world. What came first – the world as we know it, or the stories about the world? Puchner is one of the world’s foremost literary critics and scholars, and professor at the University of Harvard. Jordheim is professor of cultural history at the University of Oslo. The conversation took place February 14, 2018. Lithouse is a podcast from the House of Literature in Oslo, presenting adapted versions of lectures and conversations featuring international writers and thinkers.

I denne episoden kan du høre en samtale mellom Martin Puchner og Helge Jordheim om litteraturens rolle i å forme verden. For hva kom først – verden slik vi kjenner den, eller fortellingene om verden? Puchner er en av verdens fremste litteraturforskere og kritikere, og professor ved universitetet Harvard. Helge Jordheim er professor i kulturhistorie ved Universitetet i Oslo. Samtalen fant sted 14. februar 2018. Litteraturhusets podkast presenterer bearbeidede versjoner av samtaler og foredrag i regi av Stiftelsen Litteraturhuset. Musikk av Apothek.

Claudia Cragg (@KGNU @KGNUClaudia) speaks here with Harvard Professor Martin Puchner (@martin_puchner) on his latest book, The Written World. This is the story of how literature has shaped world history in sixteen acts, from Alexander The Great and the Iliad to Do Quixote and Harry Potter. As Puchner has been extensively interviewed, and as Puchner is himself a 'modernist' by persuasion, this interview starts very late in the 4,000 year old catalogue that the book represents.  The author leads the reader on a remarkable journey through time and around the globe to reveal the powerful role stories and literature have played in creating the world we have today. Beyond The Axial Age, Puchner tells of Cervantes, who invented the modern novel, battles pirates both real (when he is taken prisoner) and literary (when a fake sequel to Don Quixote is published). We learn of Benjamin Franklin’s pioneering work as a media entrepreneur, watch Goethe discover world literature in Sicily, and follow the rise in influence of The Communist Manifesto. He speaks with Nobel laureate Derek Walcott in the Caribbean, as well as Orhan Pamuk in Istanbul, as well as the wordsmiths of the oral epic Sunjata in West Africa. Throughout The Written World, Puchner’s narrative also chronicles the inventions—writing technologies, the printing press, the book itself—that have shaped religion, politics, commerce, people, and history.   

Gil Mansergh welcomes the celebrated novelist and master of the short story, Eric Puchner as his guest on KRCB-FM’s Word By Word: Conversations With Writers show. Professor of writing seminars at Johns Hopkins, Eric includes nine stories in his Last Day On Earth collection—each falling into distincively different categories from coming-of-age to science fiction to psycho-drama. Last months Word By Word guest, Chinese-born novelist, poet and memoirist Yi Yun Li writes the following about Eric: "Eric Puchner is an alchemist who captures the joy and danger in everyday life and, with precision, humor, and empathy, turns these moments into gold... in an unforgettable collection from a great storyteller."
