Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Yates

This week on The Write Place Podcast, I'm joined by actress, podcaster and author Sonya Walger.Many listeners will know Sonya from her roles in Lost, For All Mankind, FlashForward, The Catch and many more, but she is also the author of the acclaimed debut novel Lion and her latest book, Wifehouse.In our conversation, Sonya talks about the idea behind Wifehouse, a novel about a woman who leaves her family, and why she wanted to explore that story without judgement. We discuss marriage, motherhood, identity, multiple points of view, and the difficult creative challenge of writing a character readers may not approve of but can still understand. We also talk about Sonya's move from acting into fiction, how years of inhabiting other characters have shaped her as a novelist, and why she finds writing so liberating after a career spent waiting for permission to play a part.Along the way, Sonya shares her thoughts on rejection, creative fear, handwriting first drafts, journalling, writing on planes, and why reading is one of the most important ways we practise empathy.And of course, we cover the usual Write Place favourites, including the Book That Saved Your Life, where Sonya chooses The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James and Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates.A thoughtful, generous and wide-ranging conversation about writing, performance, creativity and the need to keep feeding the artist in you.LinksSonya's website: https://sonya-walger.com/ Sonya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sonyawalgerofficial/ Bookish with Sonya Walger: https://bookishwithsonyawalger.com/ Buy Wifehouse: https://www.waterstones.com/book/wifehouse/sonya-walger/9781786586384 My book, Real Writers Never Quit: https://mybook.to/realwritersneverquit Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrkelly2u/

THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Our 2008 retrospective continues with "Revolutionary Road," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Michael Shannon, Kathryn Hahn, David Harbour, and Kathy Bates. Directed by Winslet's real-life husband at the time, Academy Award winner Sam Mendes, and adapted by Justin Haythe from the award-winning novel by Richard Yates, this was considered a huge Oscar contender on paper before its release around Christmas time in 2008. Once it was released, it received mixed but still positive reviews, with most of the praise going to the acting of Winslet, DiCaprio, and Shannon, and eventually scored three Oscar nominations. Winslet, though, despite winning the Golden Globe and receiving BAFTA and SAG nominations, was Oscar-nominated for her other 2008 contender, "The Reader." How has the period domestic drama held up all these years later? Please tune in as Lauren LaMagna, Dan Bayer, Amy Kim, and I talk about the Mendes's direction, the story's themes, Roger Deakins's cinematography, Thomas Newman's score, the performance, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

A cento anni dalla nascita, Richard Yates è oggi considerato uno degli scrittori più acuti e spietatamente onesti della narrativa americana del secondo Novecento. Nei suoi romanzi e racconti ha indagato con grande lucidità le incrinature del sogno americano, raccontando la vita della classe media con uno sguardo rigoroso e privo di consolazioni. Il suo libro più celebre, Revolutionary Road, è diventato nel tempo un classico proprio per la sua capacità di osservare la normalità e rivelarne il lato più fragile, fatto di silenzi, frustrazioni e desideri irrealizzati.Nato nel 1926 in un sobborgo di New York, Yates crebbe in una famiglia segnata dal divorzio dei genitori e come molti della sua generazione visse la guerra, combattendo prima in Francia e poi nella Germania occupata. Trascorse il resto della sua esistenza tra la scrittura e le proprie fragilità personali, segnate da alcolismo e depressione. Il suo talento, naturale ma affinato da un lavoro costante, gli permise di trasformare esperienze private e apparentemente ordinarie in grande letteratura. Eppure, nonostante la qualità dei suoi romanzi e dei suoi racconti, è stato a lungo incompreso dal pubblico e dalla critica. Solo dopo la sua morte la sua opera è stata riscoperta e rivalutata. Riccardo Michelucci ne ha parlato con il critico letterario e americanista Luca Briasco e con la traduttrice italiana di Yates, Andreina Lombardi Bom.

Der US-Autor Richard Yates erzählt von Menschen, die an ihren Träumen zerbrechen - präzise, gnadenlos und berührend. Sein Klassiker "Zeiten des Aufruhrs" macht ihn bis heute zum Chronisten der Mittelklasse und der Enttäuschten in den USA. Baumann, Tim www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kalenderblatt

Yvette Benavides and Peter Orner discuss “Out with the Old” by Richard Yates. The setting is a tuberculosis ward in a veterans' hospital on December 31,1950. Dreams have faded for these patients whose best years seem to be behind them. For the character of McIntyre something miraculous happens. This is a powerful New Year's Eve story.

Att välja ut årets bästa läsning ur bokskörden är inte enkelt. Faktiskt så svårt att inspelningen får avslutas abrupt så att bokspanarna kan sluta tipsa om alla bra böcker som hunnits med under 2025. Bitska pensionärer, dramatiska bröllopsveckor, dystopiska och omvälvande böcker – mycket ryms i detta avsnitt. Veckans gäst: Agneta Krohn Strömshed Det här är våra favoriter från 2025: Bröllopsgästerna av Alison Espach Brooklyn av Colm Tóibín Long Island av Colm Tóibín Det sista smekningarna av Kjersti Anfinnsen Ögonblick för evigheten av Kjersti Anfinnsen Air av Christian Kracht Revolutionary road av Richard Yates

Once tipos de soledad, de Richard Yates, es una colección de cuentos que explora la vida de personas que, aunque puedan ser considerados mediocres o fracasadas, representan el promedio de la población; personas con trabajos que no quieren, con circunstancias de vida penosas que no han elegido, con traumas que comienzan en infancias difíciles. Con una prosa que cautiva y que mantiene mucha información oculta en beneficio de la sensación fina de identificación, cada cuento atraviesa la condición humana más normal de todas y la suerte que todos esperamos evitar.

Crecer leyendo a cuentistas convierte a Tamara Silva Bernaschina en creadora de mundos de 15 páginas, en constructora de hondos personajes en muy poco espacio. Ella es una de esas escritoras capaces de relatar grandes historias en relatos breves. Tamara tiene 25 años. En 2023, con 'Desastres naturales', empezó a cobrar notoriedad y ganó dos importantes premios de narrativa uruguaya. Al año siguiente, el Nacional de Literatura en la categoría de ópera prima. Escribió una novela, 'Temporada de ballenas', y recibió mención de honor en el concurso literario Juan Carlos Onetti. Esta tarde ha venido a presentarnos 'Larvas', editado en España por Páginas de espuma, un libro de relatos inquietantes en los que mezcla realidad y psicomagia, lo que podríamos considerar una forma contemporánea del realismo mágico.Con Laura Fernández viajamos a Iowa City, una pequeña ciudad universitaria del Medio Oeste estadounidense, donde se formó el escritor Andre Dubus. Alumno de Richard Yates —autor de 'Revolutionary Road', novela que inspiró la película en la que se reencontraron Leonardo DiCaprio y Kate Winslet—, Dubus se convirtió en experto en retratar relaciones fracturadas y matrimonios en caída libre.La primera vez que Keith LaMar habló con RNE desde el corredor de la muerte fue en mayo de 2021. Su ejecución estaba prevista para el 16 de noviembre de 2023. Sin embargo, en mayo de 2025, Keith LaMar puede responder de nuevo porque el estado de Ohio ha aplazado su ejecución hasta el 13 de enero de 2027. Ha ganado tiempo para defender su inocencia, para oponerse a la pena de muerte y para publicar un segundo disco de jazz desde la celda, junto al pianista español Albert Marquès. Íñigo Picabea ha conversado con ambos.Y cerramos con cine.

Peter Orner and Yvette Benavides discuss “Oh, Joseph, I'm So Tired" by Richard Yates. It's a story narrated by a man looking back on his childhood during the Depression. He recalls difficult moments that are brutally honest but told with a tender acceptance of what was.

Andrew Porter is the author of two story collections, The Disappeared and The Theory of Light and Matter. He's also the author of the novel In Between Days. His latest, out this month, is The Imagined Life and it treads on some familiar territory as the others. Andrew joins Marrie Stone to talk about it. His work has been compared to Richard Yates and John Cheever. He talks about those influences and his hyper-focus on the domestic realm. He also talks about the impacts his former professor, Marilynne Robinson, has on his work. They talk about writerly choices — point of view, structure, revision, and character development. And they discuss larger themes of men, boys, marriage, and sexuality in today's culture and how literature reflects those struggles.

Ambientato a metà degli anni Cinquanta nella provincia del Connecticut, immerso in colori, musiche, oggetti, toni e bigottismi dell'America più conservatrice e moralista, porta sul grande schermo il romanzo omonimo di Richard Yates.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Great American Novel Podcast Episode 22, we wrestle with the old Thoreau quote "The majority of men lead lives of quiet desperation" as we delve into the soul-sapping mid-century suburbs in Richard Yates' 1961 novel Revolutionary Road.  Join the hosts for a  conversation that considers other suburban chroniclers such as Updike and Cheever and other  treatments from the film adaptation to Mad Men to Seinfeld.  Ultimately the hosts have to confront this essential question: not whether they should move to France, but whether we can call Revolutionary Road a Great American Novel?  Listeners are warned: there be spoilers here. The Great American Novel podcast is an ongoing discussion about the novels we hold up as significant achievements in our American literary culture.  Additionally, we sometimes suggest novels who should break into the sometimes problematical canon and at other times we'll suggest books which can be dropped from such lofty consideration.  Your hosts are Kirk Curnutt and Scott Yarbrough, professors with little time and less sense who nonetheless enjoy a good book banter.  All opinions are their own and do not reflect the points of view of their employers, publishers, relatives, pets, or accountants. All show music is by Lobo Loco.  The intro song is “Old Ralley,” and the outro is “Inspector Invisible.”  For more information visit: https://locolobomusic.com/.  Revolutionary Road film dir. Sam Mendes, 2008.We may be contacted at greatamericannovelpodcast (@) gmail.com.

Released in 2008, Sam Mendes directs this adaptation of the Richard Yates novel. It stars the truly Titanic pairing of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, but how did this flick fall into the forgot you forgot it pile? In this episode, Joe & Adam discover why film criticism is pointless, why DiCaprio is best in exactly this kind of role, and that Oscar nominations really do have an impact on your box office. 

Donald slides into the third episode of Seinfeld's second season, “The Jacket.”He talks about his love for art within the “Age of Anxiety.” He also rants about toxic masculinity, taking care of suede, and why he'll never give up hope on Kate Winslet & Leonardo DiCaprio coupling. Here are the books and authors discussed in this episode: Les Misérables by Victor Hugo (1862) Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates (1961) Catch-22 by Joseph Heller (1962) The Age of Anxiety by W.H.Auden (1947) Symphony No. 2 : The Age of Anxiety by Leonard Bernstein “Nighthawks” by Edward Hopper (1942) Stephen King Celeste Ng Kali White VanBaale

Eine besondere Lesung fand im Literaturhaus Heilbronn statt. Der in Heilbronn geborene Autor Rainer Moritz stellte seinen neuen Roman “Das Schloss der Erinnerungen” am Erscheinungstag vor. Ein Schlösschen im Südwesten Frankreichs, mit Blick auf die Pyrenäen. Lange war es im Besitz angesehener Familien, doch als Jean Durand, der letzte Schlossherr, stirbt, verfällt das Anwesen zusehends. Jeans Witwe, Madame Germaine, ist gezwungen zu verkaufen, an ein Münchner Ehepaar, das das Schloss saniert und zu einer Tagungsstätte mit Chambres d'hôtes ausbaut. Germaine, die die neunzig längst überschritten hat, erhält lebenslanges Wohnrecht, umsorgt von den neuen Besitzern und dem Personal, das die alten Gemäuer im Sommer mit Leben erfüllt, an dem Germaine aber nicht teilnimmt. Seit Jahren schon verlässt sie ihr Zimmer nicht mehr. Morgens hört sie Radio Vatican, abends schaut sie sich Western mit John Wayne an. Die übrige Zeit verbringt sie damit, auf den Tod zu warten, ihren verschwommenen Erinnerungen nachzuspüren und sich die Frage zu stellen, welchen Sinn ihr Leben besaß – und noch besitzt. Bis zwei junge Frauen und ein im Schloss Station machender Schriftsteller sie aus der Reserve locken. Wird der Tod noch eine Weile warten müssen? Rainer Moritz, 1958 in Heilbronn geboren, ist wohl das, was man breit aufgestellt nennt: Schon mit siebzehn Jahren ließ er sich zum Fußballschiedsrichter ausbilden, später wurde er mit einer Arbeit über Hermann Lenz promoviert, arbeitete als Lektor unter anderem bei Reclam Leipzig und als Programmgeschäftsführer bei Hoffmann und Campe, ehe er 2005 die Leitung des Hamburger Literaturhauses übernahm. Damit nicht genug, Moritz tritt regelmäßig als Literaturkritiker in Erscheinung, übersetzt aus dem Französischen (unter anderem Françoise Sagan und Georges Simenon), kommentiert humorvoll das Weltgeschehen in einer Radiokolumne – und schreibt Bücher: über Fußball, Schlager, Pariser Parks, aber auch über Richard Yates. Zuletzt erschien unter anderem “Mein Vater, die Dinge und der Tod” (2018), ein anrührendes Porträt seines verstorbenen Vaters.

Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio reunite after Titanic to play an unhappy couple who form a plan to rejuvenate their life. How does the movie compare to the Richard Yates novel it is based on? https://whythebookwins.com/

Rodrigo Duarte nació en Uruguay, vivió en Buenos Aires y en la actualidad reside en Ciudad de México. Es periodista, fue editor de la sección Opinión en Infobae y también de la sección LGBT+ del mismo sitio y es un gran lector y un servero crítico de cine y música. Una curiosidad para la cofradía de los oyentes: Rodrigo es quien me hizo escuchar el tema Fortuna, de Antonio Zambujo, que tenemos como cortina desde el comienzo de Vidas Prestadas, en el año 2019. Editorial Aguilar, del grupo Penguin Random House, acaba de publicar su primer libro: Klemm, la extraordinaria vida del ícono pop argentino contada por amigos, amantes, artistas y adversarios. Se trata de una biografía coral de Federico Klemm, un personaje excéntrico y bastante central de la vida social porteña de los 90, quien nació en 1942 en República Checa y murió en Buenos Aires, en el año 2002. Klemm fue artista visual, cantante de ópera amateur, mecenas, galerista y gran divulgador del arte en medios masivos y para este retrato completísimo de su vida y su obra, Rodrigo trabajó durante varios años -pandemia y distancia mediante- y entrevistó a más de 120 personas. Entre ellos, hay grandes celebridades y otras figuras menos conocidas pero muy cercanas a Klemm, muchos de ellos lo quisieron y lo valoraron, otros no y también están aquellos que comenzaron a valorarlo recientemente. En la sección Voz alta, Silvia Arazi leyó el inicio de la nouvelle “La nieta del señor Lihn” de Philippe Claudel. Silvia nació estudió Historia del Arte y canto lírico en el Instituto Superior del Teatro Colón. Es poeta, narradora y cantante y acaba de publicar “La voz de la madre” una novela íntima y bella sobre el final de la vida de una madre ante los ojos de su hija y sobre el vacío lacerante de esa ausencia. En Te regalo un libro Damián Huergo habló de “Mentirosos enamorados” de Richard Yates. Damián Huergo nació en Longchamps en 1983. Estudió sociología en la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Es autor de los libros de cuentos Ida y Biografía y Ficción (Primer Premio del Fondo Nacional de las Artes, 2017), y de la novela Un verano (2015). Publicó crónicas y ficción en antologías y en medios como Radar Libros, Anfibia, Gatopardo, y Coolt, entre otros. En 2017 obtuvo una beca del FNA para escribir La ley primera, su novela de reciente aparición En la sección Bienvenidos, Hinde habló de “Maestras del engaño”, de Tori Telfer (Impedimenta) y “Libro blanco de la conversación”, de Patricia Nigro y Marcela Farré como compiladoras.

In that esteemed group of soothsayers, we might  consider adding the novelist A.M. Homes. Homes has just published her eighth novel, The Unfolding, a wild trippy ride of a novel that opens on election night, 2008 and closes two months later at the inauguration of one Barack Hussein Obama.  Homes began the novel long before the 2016 election of Donald Trump, but much of it now reads more like non-fiction, an origins story of the January 6 coup, but with a novelist's curiosity and a refreshing, caustic wit. She has said, “The oddity or the absurdity of everyday experience is part of what I'm capturing. My sense is that life itself can be so incredibly painful and disturbing that if one is to survive it, one has to find the humor in it.” There is humor, too, in Edward Albee's one act play, An American Dream, one of the two works of fiction featured in this episode. The other is Richard Yates 1975 novel, Disturbing the Peace, a gimlet-eyed examination of a man in extremis.

When this episode was first released, we were only 2 months into the Covid pandemic, and many people were homesteading and finding new comforts in simple joys like crafting and baking. Host Joe Weber took this moment as an opportunity to impart some of his well-earned knowledge as a lifelong baker and bakery supplier by giving some highly useful baking tips, which still remain as relevant and useful as they were then. As an accompaniment to the bread course, the menu is packed -- two stand-up bits by Jackie Mason, a couple of Cole Porter tunes, a reading from Richard Yates and a visit from Jack Handey. And of course, a healthy serving of cowbell!

In this sweeping saga that spans empires, peoples, and nations, M. Scott Heerman chronicles the long history of slavery in the heart of the continent and traces its many iterations through law and social practice. Arguing that slavery had no fixed institutional form, Heerman traces practices of slavery through indigenous, French, and finally U.S. systems of captivity, inheritable slavery, lifelong indentureship, and the kidnapping of free people. By connecting the history of indigenous bondage to that of slavery and emancipation in the Atlantic world, Heerman shows how French, Spanish, and Native North American practices shaped the history of slavery in the United States.The Alchemy of Slavery foregrounds the diverse and adaptable slaving practices that masters deployed to build a slave economy in the Upper Mississippi River Valley, attempting to outmaneuver their antislavery opponents. In time, a formidable cast of lawyers and antislavery activists set their sights on ending slavery in Illinois. Abraham Lincoln, Lyman Trumbull, Richard Yates, and many other future leaders of the Republican party partnered with African Americans to wage an extended campaign against slavery in the region. Across a century and a half, slavery's nearly perpetual reinvention takes center stage: masters turning Indian captives into slaves, slaves into servants, former slaves into kidnapping victims; and enslaved people turning themselves into free men and women.HOST:  Rob MellonFEATURED BREW:  Freedom Tower American Amber Ale, Tank Brewing Company, Miami, FloridaBOOK:  The Alchemy of Slavery: Human Bondage and Emancipation in the Illinois Country, 1730-1865https://www.amazon.com/Alchemy-Slavery-Emancipation-1730-1865-Nineteenth/dp/0812225171/ref=sr_1_1?crid=33YTB0LB0FVI5&keywords=the+alchemy+of+slavery&qid=1649022104&sprefix=the+alchemy+of+slave%2Caps%2C656&sr=8-1MUSIC:  Bones Forkhttps://bonesfork.com/

(Richard Yates added: The UK switched off analogue transmissions in 2012.) Ideally, the aerial needs to be the same length as the wavelength for best possible reception. However, at many frequencies, the wavelength is extremely long, making it impractical to make aerials that are the full wavelength. FM radio for example, would need aerials of a little over three meters long. That would be difficult to mount on a car and would tend to hit things as the car drove down the road. Also see Richard's detailed and technical summary of thoughts on the topic in the MeWe Group ------------------- Ian Barton with a Starlink Update After some experiments with positioning Dishy, I found that facing SW was giving me the most reliable signal. There are quite a few obstructions, so the view of the sky is a bit limited. However, Dishy is going to be moved to a chimney, which is about 10 metres above ground, this week. I am regularly getting download speeds of 150-200 Mbits. Yesterday the sky was completely covered with rain clouds and it was pouring with rain. I was getting download speeds of more than 200 Mbits. I have stopped using the supplied Starlink router. The cable is now connected to the WAN port of my Netgate firewall/router. The stats page of Starlink is on a separate network that is embedded in Dishy. So I have to create a firewall/NAT rule that can let me view the stats page on Dishy from my router.

It consists of either a rotating disk with slots or holes or a lamp such as a flashtube which produces brief repetitive flashes of light. Usually, the rate of the stroboscope is adjustable to different frequencies. When a rotating or vibrating object is observed with the stroboscope at its vibration frequency (or a submultiple of it), it appears stationary. Thus stroboscopes are also used to measure frequency. The principle is used for the study of rotating, reciprocating, oscillating or vibrating objects. Machine parts and vibrating strings are common examples. A stroboscope used to set the ignition timing of internal combustion engines is called a timing light. For Record Player Platters The edge of the platter has marks at specific intervals so that when viewed under fluorescent lighting powered at mains frequency, provided the platter is rotating at the correct speed, the marks appear to be stationary. This will not work well under incandescent lighting, as incandescent bulbs don't significantly strobe. For this reason, some turntables have a neon bulb or LED next to the platter. The LED must be driven by a half wave rectifier from the mains transformer, or by an oscillator. ...you can also now get apps for smartphones which make use of the camera to clock the speed of rotation/movement. You can also get stand-alone meters of course, mainly used in industry I guess, with readouts.

J.R. Jones, film critic and author of The Lives of Robert Ryan, tells us about what it's like to work as a movie reviewer today. Find his reviews and other writing for the Chicago Reader here. Robert Ryan was known for his bigoted, violent characters in movies like The Wild Bunch, The Dirty Dozen, and Bad Day at Black Rock, but off the screen Ryan was a civil rights activist and pacifist, a fascinating dichotomy that Jones brings to life in his book and in our conversation.  Finally, I ask J.R. Jones to share some of his memories of the novelist and short story writer Richard Yates. Jones also grew up in Deerfield, so we hear a bit about how the Deerfield library and community inspired his early interest in film. You can check out The Lives of Robert Ryan or explore the work of Robert Ryan or Richard Yates here at the library.

Welcome to your first installment in the Spring of Spite! This week we're reading a Richard Yates story, "Oh Joseph, I'm So Tired," which paints a pretty rough portrait of the author's mother and her failed attempts at artistic (and social) relevance. We also talk about the science of spite, and the phenomeon of "spite houses" and "spite fences." Finally, Tom gives Mike a spite-related quiz, though several of the questions are obviously flawed and not accurate measures of actual spitefulness, which is just objective fact rather than a reflection of which of us writes these weekly episode descriptions. Enjoy! For more, including a link to several of the things we talked about in today's episode, visit us online at bookfightpod.com.
