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. Conxita Casanovas repasa los estrenos de la semana: 'La trama fenicia' de Wes Anderson, 'Érase una vez mi madre' de Ken Scott y 'El jockey', una cinta argentina dirigida por Luis Ortega.Escuchar audio
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.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents two stories about indomitable women. A mother grieves a loss fiercely in Carribean Fragoza's “Lumberjack Mom,” performed by Roberta Colindrez. And Richard Yates' classic “Fun with a Stranger” offers a portrait of an unforgettable teacher. It's performed by Marian Seldes.

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.

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.
Leonardo DiCaprio is an earthy type who wants to come up in the world. Kate Winslet is a free spirit, unwilling to confine herself to the norms of society. But this time there's no big boat, and no tragic end. After their icy dip Kate and Leo reunited for 2008's REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, based on the novel by Richard Yates and directed by Sam Mendes. It's the story of Frank and April Wheeler, a young couple who meet at a party, get married and create a suburban life with a nice house, a manicured lawn, "modern" furniture, two kids, a job in the city for him, housework for her, and martinis, cigarettes, boredom and desperation for both of them. It's not really 'What would have happened if Rose scooched over and made room on that doorframe for Jack', but it's a close as we'll get. So join the morning march of grey men in grey suits and grey hats to a job you hate, or spend your day vacuuming and dreaming of a better life in Paris as we put the spotlight on REVOLUTIONARY ROAD.
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/

„Du bist ein Gott, der mich sieht“ heißt die Jahreslosung und lenkt den Blick auf alle, die unsichtbar sind oder gemacht werden. Wie wichtig Ansehen ist, das wird in einer Geschichte von Richard Yates deutlich. Die Bibel erzählt dazu eine Gegengeschichte: die von Hagar und ihrer Begegnung mit Gott.

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. (Biblos) Y en Libros que sí recomendó “Debimos ser felices”, de Rafaela Lahore (Montacerdos), “El trabajo ya no es lo que fue”, de Alain Supiot (Siglo XXI) y “Escritos sobre la mesa”, compilación de Mariano García y Mariana Dimópulos (Adriana Hidalgo).
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/

With Gareth Myles and Ted SalmonJoin us on Mewe RSS Link: https://techaddicts.libsyn.com/rss iTunes | Google Podcasts | Stitcher | Tunein | Spotify Amazon | Pocket Casts | Castbox | PodHubUK Feedback and Contributions: Ian Watson on TV aerials - when digital took over, new aerials were needed as the frequency changed. (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.

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.

PENDENTE: Rubrica su Cinema, letteratura, fumetto ed esperienze culturali
Una rubrica in cui esprimo la mia personalissima opinione su film che, pur non essendo necessariamente capolavori o film iconici, hanno lasciato qualcosa al pubblico. Il capolavoro letterario e poi cinematografico sulla disperazione umana presente nel quotidiano è qui! Dal romanzo di Richard Yates e portato al cinema da Sam Mendes, "Revolutionary Road" ci mostra l'intimità dei coniugi Wheeler, esponenti di una società apparentemente idilliaca ma piena di ipocrisia e destinata a soccombere alla saturazione e all'apatia. Qui sotto l'articolo di The Visione che nomino nella puntata: https://thevision.com/intrattenimento/revolutionary-road/?fbclid=IwAR0DJVhvj0R92Il66ZjTwzr5euD5vIOg84fo0cKljdOnsKCzOns3icqkY4s
This episode is a little different from the meditations and poetry I usually offer. I sit down in the woodshed with the summer rain pouring down outside and open up a frank conversation with you about why choosing your heart will make your life so much harder....and why that's such a good thing.Some topics of interest:2:08 (my story so far...)5:51 (why returning to your ancestral land might not provide you the belonging you seek)14:56 (how to tell if you are making the right decision)15:33 (what 'the path of least resistance' really means)17:33 (why we should just follow our hearts anyway)Thanks for listening, for sharing, and for taking some time to yourself today.

Author Gina Yates joins Mike Derrico for a slightly different kind of Rock Under Fire episode...an epic conversation about love, marriage, relationships, self-help books, rock & roll, and NARCISSUS NOBODY, the brilliant new book by Yates, published by Three Rooms Press. In addition to NARCISSUS NOBODY, Gina Yates is the author of several unpublished novels and short stories. After immigrating to Canada on a student visa in the 1990s, she honed her craft through an unconventional path of world travel and entrepreneurship. She is the youngest daughter of the late celebrated author Richard Yates.

In conversation with Don Winslow, New York Times bestselling author of The Border, The Force, The Cartel, Power of the Dog, Savages, and Broken, his new collection of six short novels. Blake Bailey is acclaimed for his ''meticulously researched, judicious, and critically perceptive'' (Boston Globe) biographies of some of the 20th century's most complicated writers, including John Cheever, Charles Jackson, and Richard Yates. His many honors include the National Book Critics Circle Award, an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Guggenheim fFellowship, and his memoir, The Splendid Things We Planned: A Family Portrait, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Autobiography. Through Bailey's exclusive access to Philip Roth and Roth's archivescoupled with complete independence, Bailey's latest book charts Philip Roth's arc from lower-middle-class Newark, New Jersey to his position as one of America's towering literary figures. Books available through the Joseph Fox Bookshop (recorded 4/12/2021)
Appointed by Philip Roth and granted independence and complete access, Blake Bailey spent years poring over Roth’s personal archive, interviewing his friends, lovers, and colleagues, and engaging Roth himself in breathtakingly candid conversations. His new book is: "Philip Roth: The Biography." Bailey shows how Roth emerged from a lower-middle-class Jewish milieu to achieve the heights of literary fame, how his career was nearly derailed by his catastrophic first marriage, and how he championed the work of dissident novelists behind the Iron Curtain. Bailey examines Roth’s rivalrous friendships with Saul Bellow, John Updike, and William Styron, and reveals the truths of his florid love life, culminating in his almost-twenty-year relationship with actress Claire Bloom, who pilloried Roth in her 1996 memoir, "Leaving a Doll’s House." Blake Bailey is the author of biographies of John Cheever, Richard Yates, and Charles Jackson. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an Award

Wife of a rich New York merchant, the Mrs. Richard Yates portrait judges. Her expression evokes wisdom and confidence, though. So, it’s not unwarranted judgement. Once considered, the question Who do you think you are? may help us find our true selves. But Catherine Brass Yates has already reflected on her personal truth. She knows who she is. It’s also clear that this woman cares little about the judgement of others. After all, this portrait shows her flaws as well as perfect eyebrows and luxurious silks. She’s a woman of means. So, Mrs. Richard Yates could have had this painted in a more flattering way. But she left the mustache on her lip.

When, as children, fate can send us into one of two third grade classrooms, we get our first taste of life's randomness. Richard Yates' short story “Fun With a Stranger” captures in exquisite detail how one teacher can make the classroom feel like a dungeon.
This episode marks the 6th edition since the Coronavirus quarantine began, and we hope that it finds you healthy, safe, and finding some joy in a slower, more sedentary pace of life. Many people have been finding outlets for the newfound time at home in cooking, crafting, home projects, new skills, and also baking, a favorite pastime of our host Joe Weber. Joe comes from a long line of bakery suppliers and has been baking bread himself for 50 years, so he thought that this would be a good chance to share some essential tips and techniques learned from his many years of trial and error. But the bread is just the first course of an episode chock full of delectable treats -- two classic comedy bits by Jackie Mason, a reading from Richard Yates, some humor by Jack Handey, and a couple of Cole Porter tunes are just some of the menu items on offer. We even feature an appearance from Christopher Walken and his favorite instrumentalist. We hope you enjoy!
Our episode this week will feature two magnificent recordings of Puccini's "Madama Butterfly," along with some accompanying commentary about the renowned 1904 opera. We then fast-forward about 50 years with a passage from Richard Yates' novel of suburban frustration, "Revolutionary Road." Along the way, we'll have some great music and poetry to lead you through. Enjoy!
Ken Grant was born in Liverpool in 1967 and at 12 years old bought his first camera - a polaroid - from money he had saved working in the school holidays for his joiner father. He went on to study photography at technical college, where he discovered and devoured numerous classic photobooks in the library, and then at West Surrey College of Art and Design, in Farnham, where he was mentored or lectured by such luminaries of British photography as Martin Parr, Chris Killip, and Paul Graham. Ken is best known for having dedicated much of his career to documenting daily working class life in and around Liverpool. Since the 1980s, he has photographed his contemporaries in the city and engaged in sustained projects both in the UK and more widely, in Europe. Ken tends to work slowly, returning again and again to the same places and becoming a familiar sight to the people who gather there. The books that have resulted have often not been published until many years later. His first monograph of the Liverpool pictures, The Close Season, was published by Dewi Lewis in 2002. In Spring 2014, Ken published a second monograph, drawing from the same body of work entitled No Pain Whatsoever (whose title derives from a story by Richard Yates), published by Swedish book designer Gosta Flemming under his imprint, Journal. His most recent book, focussing on images shot on and around a munical land fill site is entitled Benny Profane and was published last year by RRB Books.Ken’s photographs are held in important collections of photography, including those of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Folkwang Museum in Essen and other international public and private collections.Ken was the course leader of the famous BA in Documentary Photography course at the University of Wales, Newport between 1998 and 2013 and since then has been a lecturer in the MFA Photography course at the University of Ulster in Belfast, Northern Ireland. On episode 128, Ken discusses, among other things:Teaching in Belfast and living on the WirralGetting the feedback of his peersBeing back home and making work thereBuying himself his first camera - a polariod - at 12Discovering the library at technical collegeTaking a long time between shooting and making a bookTaking on board Josef Sudek’s advice to ‘Rush slowly’His most recent book, published by RRB Books, Benny ProfaneReferenced:Paul SeawrightDonovan WylieJohn BergerDaniel MeadowsDavid HurnTobias ZielonyAnastasia Taylor-LindJulian GermainTommy HarrisBill BrandtDiane ArbusLarry FinkDavid MooreRaymond MooreTom WoodLee FriedlanderFrancis Benjamin JohnsonMitch EpsteinWorker Photography MovementChris KillipIan BrownMartin ParrPaul Graham Sniffin’ GlueMichael SchmidtFlannery O’ConnorDewi LewisGösta FlemmingChrister StromholmChauncey HareJohn PilgerNick BroomfieldJames KelmanRichard YatesRaymond CarverMarketa LuskačováJosef SudekRudi ThoemmesAnia Nalecka-MilachMark PowerRafal MilachWebsite | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook“I think it’s very simple; it either works or it doesn’t.

This episode of Artist Profile focuses on Tao Lin, the author of Taipei, Shoplifting from American Apparel, Richard Yates, and several others. His most recent book is work of nonfiction called Trip: Psychedelics, Alienation, and Chang. The best way to explain, or "profile", Tao Lin is to read one of his stories and let the work speak for itself. So, after a short introduction to the episode, I read Insomnia for a Better Tomorrow, a story from his short story collection Bed. The music in this episode was created by @M.Kilcullen.

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.

Leah's interview with author Matthew M. Bartlett. Matthew was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1970. At an early age he was given as a gift the novelization of The Omen; not long after that, he inherited a worn copy of Christine by Stephen King. He fell deeply in love with horror: with the Universal monsters, with Hammer films, with the rented videos from the horror section of that almost-gone artifact known as the Video Rental Store. He began writing poetry while in the English program at Central Connecticut State University. An abiding interest in horror fiction led him to start a Livejournal page whose posts were his first forays into fiction: bite-sized tales accompanied by doctored daguerreotypes and his own photographs taken in Leeds and Northampton, Massachusetts. These posts centered around a long-dead coven using radio waves to broadcast disturbing and dangerous transmissions from the dark woods of Western Massachusetts. His inspirations are varied and the foremost are certainly not atypical for the genre: H.P. Lovecraft, Thomas Ligotti, Robert Aickman, T.E.D. Klein. Other authors he admires include Donald E. Westlake, Richard Yates, J.D. Salinger, and Hunter S. Thompson. He also draws inspiration from the radio monologues and shows of Joe Frank; the poetry of Philip Larkin, of Mark Strand, of Stephen Crane; the movies of Wes Anderson, of Ben Wheatley, of the Coen Brothers. He continues to write dark and strange fiction at his home in Western Massachusetts, where he lives with his wife Katie and an unknown number of cats. http://www.matthewmbartlett.com/ https://www.twitter.com/mattmbartlett https://www.facebook.com/matthew.mark.bartlett/ https://www.amazon.com/Matthew-M.-Bartlett/e/B00M5HEX5Y Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/ www.birdscoffeecompany.com/ Use Code Legends10 to get 10% off your order! https://beta.podchaser.com/ Use code legendsoftabletop for access and consider leaving us a review

On Thursday September 1, members of the Silicon Valley Speechwriters Roundtable hosted a conference call with with renowned author, speechwriter and professor Bob Lehrman. Robert A. Lehrman served as Chief Speechwriter to Vice President Al Gore and, in 2004, as Chief Speechwriter for the Democratic National Committee during his more than three decades of experience writing speeches. His 2009 book, 'The Political Speechwriters Companion' is one of the best books I've ever read on speechwriting, period. He's an editor of the new book 'Democratic Orators from JFK to Barack Obama' (Palgrave/Macmillan 2016) and authored the chapters on the oratory of J.F.K. and Barack Obama. Bob has written for political figures, celebrities, heads of nonprofits, and corporate CEOs. He created and co-teaches the political speechwriting course at American University, speaks often at other campuses, conferences, and associations, on the topic of political speechwriting, and has conducted four workshops in Hanoi for Vietnamese diplomats. Author of a number of award-winning novels, and many articles for publications like The New York Times, Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor, and Politico, Bob has a B.A. from Tufts University and an M.F.A. from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop, where he studied with Kurt Vonnegut and Richard Yates. I was going to summarize the topics we discussed on the call, but Rob Cottingham did a great job capturing this in an awesome Sketchnote: (Click to enlarge) To listen to the first half hour of the call, click on the podcast icon below.
In this episode of the Ark Audio Book Club we explore the genre ‘’new sincerity’’, with Tao Lins 2010 novel called Richard Yates. The book is about the relationship between about two characters, Dakota Fanning and Haley Joel Osment and while you couldn't call it a pleasant read, it’s definitely an interesting read, challenging our idea of prose in a ways that we haven’t come across with any other author.
Tao Lin is a novelist, poet, and provocateur currently living in Brooklyn. He has written six books of fiction and poetry, including Richard Yates (2010), Shoplifting from American Apparel (2009), and cognitive behavioral therapy (2008). Lin runs the publishing imprint Muumuu House, and you can find his website here. He also occasionally contributes to the blog Thought Catalog. I spoke with Lin in his bedroom in June of 2010.
The Invaders (Regan Arts) Please welcome back to Skylight one of our favorite local authors, Karolina Waclawiak! A searing follow-up to Karolina Waclawiak's critically acclaimed debut novel, How to Get Into the Twin Palms, The Invaders casts a harsh light on the glossy sheen of even the most “perfect” lives in America's exclusive beach communities. The novel centers around Cheryl who has never been the right kind of country-club wife and has always felt like an outsider. Now in her mid-forties—facing the harsh realities of aging and a disintegrating marriage—she feels cast adrift by the sparkling seaside community of Little Neck Cove, Connecticut. When her troubled stepson Teddy moves back home after being kicked out of college, she joins him in an epic downward spiral, just as a storm brewing off the coast threatens to destroy the precarious safe haven crashing down around them. With sharp wit and dark humor, The Invaders exposes the lies and insecurities that run like fault lines through our culture, threatening to pitch bored housewives, pill-popping children, and suspicious neighbors headlong into the suburban abyss. Praise for The Invaders “The Invaders, by the glorious Karolina Waclawiak, is an elegant, ominous book. It's a sharp, witty novel of manners of the most sinister kind. In Waclawiak's expert hands, this novel will have you holding your breath and your heart until the very last word.” —Roxanne Gay, Bad Feminist and An Untamed State “Karolina Waclawiak's The Invaders is the stiffest of literary drinks—it'll jolt your system, and make the world around you glow a little differently when you're done with it. Witty, dark, and honest, this novel tells the hard—but hilarious—truths about aging in America, dysfunctional relationships, and suburban vices.” —Jami Attenberg, The Middlesteins “The Invaders is as crisp as they come, hilarious and alarming in equal measure. This book is a time bomb in madras shorts, ready for golf, sex, and natural disasters.” —Emma Straub, The Vacationers and Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures “Karolina Waclawiak's The Invaders is a blazing wonder of a novel. So long limited to satire and parody, the pristine world of the American suburbs become, in Waclawiak's skillful hands, places of tumult, hunger, loneliness and menace. Her heroes are outsiders-on-the-inside and we watch them struggle amid the confinements of their environment and their own complicated histories. As whip-smart and cunning as it is poignant and mysterious The Invaders demonstrates that Waclawiak's masterful debut novel, How to Get into the Twin Palms, was just the beginning.” —Megan Abbott, author ofDare Me “The Invaders is a gut punch of a novel—a scathing look at privileged people trapped by their own choices, but unable to imagine an alternative to their misery. Karolina Waclawiak is a remarkable writer, able to channel the unflinching clarity of Richard Yates, the off-kilter tenderness of Cheever, and taut narrative energy of crime fiction in a voice that is all her own.” —Tom Perrotta, author of The Leftovers and Little Children “Seamlessly blending literary and genre traditions, Karolina Waclawiak never fails to surprise, delight, and reveal secrets that lesser writers keep hidden. I love her work, and I'm already waiting for the next book.” —Sara Gran, author of Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead “Karolina Waclawiak's The Invaders is a thrilling meditation on the explosive complexities of marriage, identity, and class—all set against the picturesque yet stultifying landscape of small-town Connecticut. Waclawiak is a master at illuminating the secret selves these characters long to keep hidden, and The Invaders is a wonderfully fierce novel, from a brilliant and essential talent.” —Laura van den Berg, author of The Isle of Youth and Find Me “A witty, vicious, and entirely moving portrait of privilege, alienation, and sexual invisibility set in a Connecticut beach community.” —Kate Zambreno, author of Green Girl “How To Get Into The Twin Palms was a mini-masterpiece of atmosphere and mood; a new book is a cause for celebration.” —Emily Gould, author of Friendship Karolina Waclawiak received her BFA in Screenwriting from USC School of Cinematic Arts and her MFA in Fiction from Columbia University. Her first novel, How To Get Into The Twin Palms, was published by Two Dollar Radio in 2012. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Rumpus, and The Believer (where she is also an editor). She lives in Los Angeles. Antonia Crane is a writer, teacher and Moth Story Slam Winner in Los Angeles. She is the author of the memoir Spent(Barnacle Books/Rare Bird Lit March, 2014).

She the CNF editor at Word Riot. She is at work on another memoir about running wild in Bombay, India as a teenager.
Selected Tweets (Short Flight/Long Drive Books) Selected Tweets—as the name suggests—is a book comprised of selected tweets from both Tao and Mira. The book operates as a sort of flip book, with Tao's tweets on one side and Mira's on the other. The tweets are organized by account (both writers have multiple), and then chronologically within each account, if that makes sense. SHEILA HETI: How do you imagine people read twitter? TAO LIN: On their phones I think mostly. I think I've read the most Twitter while laying in bed or on my back, or just laying in places, like in parks or in airports. Maybe not the most, but a lot. I've dropped my phone on my face many times. I think other people must too, but I rarely hear about this. -- SHEILA HETI: What do you think about before you tweet? You once told me that you tweet what makes you feel uncomfortable. So which tweets do you reject, which do you accept? MIRA GONZALEZ: I wouldn't necessarily say that I tweet what makes me feel uncomfortable, I think it's more that I feel comfortable tweeting things that I would never feel comfortable saying in a real life conversation, or even in other places on the internet. For reasons that I don't fully understand, Twitter is a place where I don't feel ashamed to say my most shameful thoughts... Praise for Selected Tweets “Selected Tweets” features a selection of bleak, depressed, disturbing, funny, and personal tweets that create a fragmented narrative and show how Twitter can serve as a platform for art, storytelling, and connection." - Columbia Spectator "Mira's tweets are self-deprecating to the point of hilarity, and Tao's are more neurotic—still 'funny' but, like, in the way people sometimes use that word to describe a thing that's behaving oddly, like ''My air conditioner is acting funny.' They both tweet the word 'Xanax' a lot. Get it in May." - The FADER "Mostly, Twitter resembles a diary that is being written publicly and in real time. To Lin and Gonzalez, twitter is also a tool for writing. Like a director Lin and Gonzalez exhibit their creative power by picking and choosing which tweets to include in the overarching narrative." - The State Press Tao Lin is the author of the novels Taipei, Richard Yates, Eeeee Eee Eeee, the novella Shoplifting from American Apparel, the story-collection Bed, and other books. He edits Muumuu House and lives in New York. Mira Gonzalez is from Los Angeles, California. She is the author of I Will Never Be Beautiful Enough to Make Us Beautiful Together, which was nominated for The Believer Poetry Award and The Goodreads Choice Award. Her work has been published widely in print and online.

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.

Punk Elegies (Rare Bird Books) Punk Elegies arrives like a chemically unstable mixture of Richard Yates and Damon Runyon. Set along Hollywood Boulevard at the birth of punk and the death of the 1970s, the thirty-three melancholic, comic laments of Punk Elegies are a mesmerizing concoction of delusion and revelation. A cultural moment, a marriage and one young man's mind and soul spiral through a series of boundless possibilities and arrive at a harrowing finality. In the end, on the spin cycle of destiny, MacDonell circles alone, naked and bewildered in the labyrinth of a pre-AIDS bathhouse inferno. The first sunrise of the rest of his life dares him to step outside. Allan MacDonell is the author of Prisoner of X: 20 Years in the Hole at Hustler Magazine and was a defining voice of the groundbreaking punk periodical Slashmagazine. While writing for Slash, he also co-invented slam-dancing.

"Quando tese la mano a cercare l'asciugamano nell'armadio della biancheria , scorse, sul ripiano superiore, un pacchettino quadrato avvolto in un foglio di carta da farmacia." E' la storia di April e Frank Wheeler, una coppia di coniugi che vive con i due figli in una bella casa a Revolutionary Road. Dietro la loro apparente felicità si nasconde una insoddisfazione profonda che diventa presto incontenibile. Testo tratto da "Revolutionary Road" di Richard Yates, Edizioni Minimum Fax.

TAIPEI (Vintage Books) From one of this generation's most talked about and enigmatic writers comes a deeply personal, powerful, and moving novel about family, relationships, accelerating drug use, and the lingering possibility of death. "Tao Lin [is] an excellent writer of avant-garde fiction. His new novel is his most mature work, and follows a young New York writer to Taipei, where he must reconcile his family's roots with the haze of MDMA, texts and tweets that he's been living in. Mr. Lin has refined his deadpan prose style here into an icy, cynical, but ultimately thrilling and unique literary voice."--New York Observer "With Taipei Tao Lin becomes the most interesting prose stylist of his generation." --Bret Easton Ellis Tao Lin is the author of the novels Richard Yates and Eeeee Eee Eeee, the novella Shoplifting from American Apparel, the story collection Bed, and the poetry collections cognitive-behavioral therapy and you are a little bit happier than i am. He is the founder and editor of the literary press Muumuu House. His work has been translated to twelve languages and he lives in Manhattan.

Curtis Sittenfeld is the guest. She is the bestselling author of the novels Prep and American Wife, and her new book, Sisterland, is now available in hardcover and ebook from Random House. The paperback edition is due out in Spring 2014. The Boston Globe raves “The power of [Sittenfeld’s] writing and the force of her vision challenge the notion that great fiction must be hard to read. She is a master of dramatic irony, creating fully realized social worlds before laying waste to her heroines’ understanding of them...Her prose [is] a rich delight.” And The New York Times calls it “Psychologically vivid...Sittenfeld’s gifts for portraying the inner lives of her heroines [bring Sisterland] closer, in terms of emotional chiaroscuro, to two classics about pairs of sisters, The Old Wives’ Tale by Arnold Bennett and The Easter Parade by Richard Yates...Sisterland is a testament to the author’s growing depth and assurance as a writer.” Monologue topics: excerpts of my old journal entries, letters, my twenties, How to Fail.

He is currently Senior Editor with Canadian Notes and Queries magazine. Metcalf is also a serious book collector. Riffing off John Carter's Taste & Technique in Book Collecting, we talk here about, among other things: what defines the book collector, Richard Yates, and Eleven Kinds of Loneliness being one of the most 'stupendous books of short stories ever published in the United States,' dealers stock-piling the first editions of up and coming authors, Alice Munro's Dance of the Happy Shades and how little a signed First of it costs, connoisseurship and Sir Kenneth Clark, collecting what you love, and what the budding Canadian book collector should buy.
Biblioteket med Giftskåpet Den amerikanske författaren Richard Yates slog aldrig igenom när han levde, men nu när hans roman Revolutionary Road blivit film vill alla läsa hans böcker. Han skildrar dysfunktionella familjer, mögliga hus, förorter, sprit och New York city. Biblioteket har tagit reda på varför hans romaner trots dysterheten inte gör läsaren deprimerad och varför det finns mer att upptäcka än Revolutionary road. Dessutom börjar Bibliotekets nya serie Giftskåpet som handlar om böcker som blivit förbjudna eller retat upp läsarna. Det finns en enda bok som blivit fälld i ett tryckfrihetsmål i Sverige, och den är varken skriven av August Strindberg eller Lars Norén utan av Ing-Marie Eriksson, bördig från Jämtland. Debutromanen Märit fick Ing-Marie Erikssons forna grannar att stämma henne för förtal och yrka på fängelsestraff. Ing-Marie Eriksson berättar för Mia Gerdin om varför hon har rätt till sina egna minnen och upplevelser.
