Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Flanagan

Min 4: THE LAST OF US 2: ¿Final rompedor o interruptus forzado? El cierre de la segunda temporada de The Last of Us ha confirmado lo que se intuía desde sus primeros compases: esta serie no está dispuesta a ofrecer consuelo fácil ni verdades absolutas. La adaptación del videojuego de culto de Naughty Dog vuelve a hacer historia con un final tan polémico como desgarrador, fiel a la narrativa que parte a sus personajes —y al espectador— por dentro. El episodio divide a la audiencia entre quienes celebran su audacia emocional y quienes lo ven como una traición a las expectativas narrativas más convencionales. No hay fan service, no hay justicia tradicional. Solo queda la consecuencia, el precio del odio, el eco del amor perdido. NOTA FINAL EDC RAQUEL HERNÁNDEZ: 3,5 estrellas NOTA FINAL EDC ROBERTO LANCHA: 4 estrellas Min 17: EL CAMINO ESTRECHO (MOVISTAR PLUS) Miniserie de cinco episodios estrenada en Movistar Plus+ y Universal+, basada en la novela homónima de Richard Flanagan, ganadora del Premio Booker en 2014.

La narrativa se desarrolla en tres líneas temporales: antes, durante y después de la guerra, explorando el impacto del conflicto en la vida y la psique del protagonista. Jacob Elordi interpreta a Dorrigo en su juventud, mientras que Ciarán Hinds lo encarna en su vejez. La serie también cuenta con las actuaciones de Odessa Young como Amy, el amor prohibido de Dorrigo, y Simon Baker como el tío de Dorrigo. NOTA EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 24. LA MEJOR HERMANA (PRIME VIDEO) Basada en la novela homónima de Alafair Burke, la serie está dirigida por Craig Gillespie y Leslie Hope, y protagonizada por Jessica Biel y Elizabeth Banks, quienes también ejercen como productoras ejecutivas. La trama se centra en Chloe Taylor (Biel), una exitosa ejecutiva de medios de comunicación, y su hermana Nicky Macintosh (Banks), una mujer en proceso de recuperación de adicciones. Tras el asesinato del esposo de Chloe, Adam (Corey Stoll), las hermanas se ven obligadas a reunirse y enfrentar secretos familiares ocultos durante mucho tiempo. NOTA EDC: 3'5 estrellas Min 25. DEPT. Q (NETFLIX) Serie de suspense policial recién estrenada en Netflix, basada en las novelas del autor danés Jussi Adler-Olsen. La adaptación, dirigida por Scott Frank (Gambito de dama), traslada la acción a Edimburgo, Escocia, y sigue al inspector Carl Morck (Matthew Goode), un detective brillante pero socialmente complicado, relegado a una unidad de casos sin resolver tras un tiroteo que dejó a su compañero paralítico y a otro agente muerto. Junto a un equipo de inadaptados, Morck se enfrenta a crímenes antiguos mientras lidia con su propio trauma y culpa. NOTA EDC: 4 estrellas Min 32. BSO "FOREVER" (NETFLIX) La banda sonora de la serie Forever destaca por su selección musical ecléctica y emocionalmente resonante, que complementa la narrativa introspectiva de la serie. Compuesta por Daniel Hart, la música original se entrelaza con una cuidada selección de canciones de diversos géneros, creando una atmósfera única que refleja los altibajos de la vida y la muerte.

Ciarán Hinds' acting pursuits have taken him far from his roots in Northern Ireland. A quality actor - he lends himself to both villainy and simmering heroics. His long career has included intimate Shakespearean theatre productions right through to major franchises like Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and the Disney animated film Frozen. His latest project ‘The Narrow Road to the Deep North' is an intimate character study on human spirit – the Prime Video series based on the novel by Richard Flanagan. He told Jack Tame when he was first introduced to the project, he'd heard of the book but never read it. “They sent me a couple of scripts and I was immediately hooked by the quality of the writing and the story itself,” Hinds said. “So I went out and got myself the book.” “Deeply moved, I was, by the savagery, the cruelty, the brutality, the love, the deep passion, the haunting... it's a huge and hugely emotional read for anybody,” he told Tame. “And from then, I said I'm very interested in this project, and so we went on from there.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After winning the 2024 Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction, Richard Flanagan joins Georgina Godwin to discuss ‘Question 7', his life and career, and his plans after winning the prize. Described by Peter Carey as maybe just being “the most significant work of Australian art in the last 100 years”, ‘Question 7' is a love letter to his island home, his parents and the terrible past that delivered him to that place.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Author Richard Flanagan recently completed a remarkable literary double: already a Booker Prize winner for his novel “The Narrow Road to the Deep North” he just won this year's prestigious Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction for his latest book “Question 7.”It's an audacious memoir, lyrical examination of the interconnections of history and family. He considers how a famed author's illicit kiss with a woman who was not his wife may have led to the creation of the atomic bomb, and then in turn resulted in Flanagan's own birth. The Baillie Gifford Prizes chief judge described the book as “an intricately woven exploration of the chains of consequence that frame a life.”Speaking recently from his home in Hobart, Tasmania, Flanagan told MPR News senior editor Euan Kerr the book arose from the disconnection of the COVID-19 pandemic.Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.

On this episode, we were joined by Booker Prize-winning author Richard Flanagan to discuss his fascinating new memoir, 'Question 7', a meditation on the decisions that we make and the reverberating effects that these choices can have on the course of history.Richard spoke to us about why he feels that books must exist outside the moral grammar, and why good readers are as important as good writers.He shared amusing anecdotes about a life spent on the road promoting his work, and his dissatisfaction with living in cities – where value is placed on the man-made over the natural world. Finally, he contemplates the difficult question of whether he would even be sitting across from us had the atom bomb not been dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, freeing his father after years of back-breaking work in a Japanese POW camp.'Question 7' has been chosen as the Hatchards Non-Fiction Book of the Month for June. Signed copies can be purchased across our three shops as well as on our website.

One of Australia's leading authors, Richard Flanagan won the Booker for The Narrow Road to the Deep North, a novel informed by his father's experiences as a slave labourer in the second world war. He returns to that subject in his new book Question 7, a profound and powerful book that contemplates love and death, resilience and tragedy, and how the world shapes fiction and fiction shapes the world in turn.

In this week's Book Club podcast, my guest is the Booker Prize winning novelist Richard Flanagan, talking about his extraordinary new book Question 7. It weaves together memoir, reportage and the imaginative work of fiction. Flanagan collides his relationship with his war-traumatised father and his own near-death experience with the lives of H G Wells and Leo Szilard, the Tasmanian genocide and the bombing of Hiroshima. He talks to me about the work fiction can do, the intimate association of memory with shame, and the liberations and agonies of thinking of non-linear time.

TONY BIRCH IS GOING TO DIEThe brilliant writer and academic Dr Tony Birch was born in inner-city Melbourne, into a large family of Aboriginal, West Indian and Irish descent. An altar boy and exceptional student at his local Catholic primary school, in adolescence, Birch went 'off the rails' as a teenager. He was expelled from two high schools for fighting and found trouble with the police for the same reason. Although somewhat adrift following his expulsions, he remained a voracious reader – once, when he was arrested by police, all they found when they patted him down was a copy of Camus' The Outsider, which remains his favourite book.Birch has written a great deal about death and grief, most recently in his 2021 short story collection Dark As Last Night, where he interrogates the death of his brother Wayne. Here, he reads from the collection whilst musing on his own legacy and eventual funeral plans.Birch has been publishing short stories and poetry regularly since the 1980s, although his first collection, Shadowboxing, only appeared in 2006. Since this, he has published four more collections of short stories and poetry (Father's Day [2009], The Promise [2014], Broken Teeth [2016], and Common People [2017] and two novels (Blood [2011] and Ghost River [2015]).Among his awards are the Scanlon Prize and the Prize for Indigenous Writing (Victorian Premier's Literary Awards). He has also been shortlisted for the Christina Stead Prize for Fiction (NSW Premier's Literary Awards), the Steele Rudd Award (with both the original Queensland Premier's Literary Awards and the later Queensland Literary Awards), and the Miles Franklin Literary Award.In 2015, he joined Victoria University as the first recipient of its Dr Bruce McGuinness Indigenous Research Fellowship.

Richard Flanagan's masterful new novel Question 7 is his most personal book yet: a tribute to his parents and to his island home of Tasmania, and a hypnotic melding of dream, history, place and memory. Beginning with Flanagan's father's imprisonment near Hiroshima when the atom bomb was dropped, Question 7 traces a chain reaction of events, from the turbulent romance between literary giants H.G. Wells and Rebecca West, to the intricate world of 1930s and 40s nuclear physics, to a young Flanagan trapped on a perilous Tasmanian river rapid. One of Australia's most revered novelists, Flanagan was awarded the Man Booker Prize for The Narrow Road to the Deep North and the Commonwealth Prize for Gould's Book of Fish. He joins host Astrid Edwards to discuss Question 7's unique blend of history, fiction and autofiction, and its examination of the stories we construct about ourselves and others.

Cuộc sống của anh là một cuộc chiến hằng ngày để cứu những người dưới quyền khỏi chết đói, khỏi dịch tả, khỏi những trận đòn tàn nhẫn. Thứ cứu rỗi chính anh, đôi khi, trong những ngày tháng ấy, chỉ là những ký ức ngắn ngủi về một đóa hoa trà, một đôi mắt xanh màu lửa ga, một mối tình khắc cốt ghi tâm nhưng bất khả. Richard Flanagan thể hiện trong Đường hẹp lên miền Bắc thẳm một tài năng tuyệt xảo đã đưa ông trở thành một trong những nhà văn đương đại được hoan nghênh nhất.

Gail Pittaway reviews Question 7 by Richard Flanagan published by Penguin Random House NZ

Booker Prize-winning Tasmanian writer Richard Flanagan's new novel looks at the choices we make and the chain reaction that follows. By way of a literary love affair through nuclear physics to Flanagan's father's time as a Japanese POW, to Richard's own near-death experience, Question 7 explores the power of language, and of dreaming. Richard Flanagan's novels are published in forty-two countries. He won the Booker Prize for The Narrow Road to the Deep North and the Commonwealth Prize for Gould's Book of Fish. A rapid on the Franklin River is named after him.

This is a conversation Kate has been waiting years to have. She spoke to Richard Flanagan at the end of his most recent tour, in person at State Library Victoria. Richard Flanagan's novels have received numerous honours and are published in forty-two countries.

Of course Christopher smokes a negroni for the both of them and tongues get wagging. Angela surprises herself to be the blockbuster loving, self-help recommending guru that she ends up being. And she also talks about a lost Richard Flanagan episode of LIT UP that indirectly led to her recommending the book.

In this episode a great conversation with Ross Anderson, all about the truly inspiring story of AQUNA Sustainable Murray Cod and the premium, murray cod they produce for consumers, restaurants, international markets and leading chef's like Josh Niland. It's an uplifting, can-do story about business leadership and innovation, smart, passionate people and their commitment to sustainability that all adds up to a world first, all grown in regional NSW. I've long wanted to do a 'positive' story about aquaculture, especially given the impacts of large-scale industrial Tasmanian salmon production, the story Richard Flanagan tells in Toxic - The Rotting Underbelly of the Tasmanian Salmon Industry, pub 2021. Flanagan's ‘Toxic' is a heart and environmentally wrenching story, but it isn't all bad news. In a webinar he presented about the issues, he shone light on where there's hope and great potential  – to expand, sustainable land based, vertically integrated, closed loop land based aquaculture. AQUNA is an award winning, land-based, producer of murray cod - one of the most ancient, delicious and highly revered fish, once prolific in the wild, listed as nationally threatened in 2003, and so special to First People's and Murray Darling basin ecosystems. During recent fish kills, the business supplied aerators to the Menindee Lakes and have released some 23 million murray cod fingerlings back into the Murray Darling river to help restore fish stocks and ecosystem health. Love it.  AQUNA is an industry leader internationally and in the local Griffith community and environment  – employing people in clever jobs, growing vertically integrated, circular-resource use production. Listen in and check out their website to learn more about their commitment to sustainability and whole-of-system innovation in this space.  Aquna Sustainable Murray Cod is listed as “GREEN” on the The Good Fish Guide. The Good Fish Guide, an app and website, is a sustainability initiative by the Australian Marine Conservation Society. The guide is an independent reference that helps chefs and consumers make informed decisions on the seafood they eat and serve. Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food producing industries in the world – a key and growing source of protein. According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization, global aquaculture production rose 520% for the period 1990-2018 (FAO, 2020). Some 54% of seafood consumed worldwide is produced through aquaculture, but approximately 87% of seafood purchased in New South Wales is imported. So there are enormous domestic and export opportunities for sustainably produced, high quality fish and AQUNA are leading the way to do just that.  Bravo AQUNA and thank you Ross for such a great conversation (and for what you all do)!
