For the second installment in our series on the three pieces of a book, we turn from beginnings to that more difficult territory: the middle. What happens in the middle of a book? Is it simply the space connecting a strong opening to a satisfying ending? In this episode we explore the experience of living inside a book: development, repetition, immersion, wandering, pressure, rhythm. This feels like the space where the book does its work. We discuss the middles of sprawling novels as well short stories, asking what middles do and why thinking about this has helped us become less reactive and more attentive readers.2026 Novella Book ClubWe have announced the four novellas we will be reading for The Mookse and Gripes Novella Book Club in 2026!* January: Daisy Miller, by Henry James* April: An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter, by César Aira* July: The Hour of the Star, by Clarice Lispector* September: Prelude, by Katherine MansfieldDiscussions will be hosted at The Mookse and the Gripes Discord (see below!).We've got some fantastic author-focused episodes lined up for the foreseeable future, and we want to give you plenty of time to dive in if you'd like to read along with us.

Falamos sobre um livro sobre o qual o The Independent disse: "A vida humana inteira está dentro destas páginas ardentes." E mais não é preciso dizer, mas nós dizemos. É um livro de tal forma incrível que levou o Bruno a assediar uma pessoa num comboio. Contamos ainda a história da apresentação que o Sérgio fez usando um powerpoint elaborado pelo Bruno que ele não conhecia.Espectáculos ao vivo: https://www.ticketline.pt/evento/livros-da-pica-ao-vivo-104207Poderão subscrever o nosso patreon para apoiar o projecto e conteúdo extra: https://www.patreon.com/jcdireitaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/livrosdapica/twitter: https://twitter.com/livrosdapicaimagem: https://www.instagram.com/tiagom__/Genérico da autoria de Saint Mike: https://www.instagram.com/prod.saintmike
A.G. Porta (Barcelona, 1954) es un autor que habita los márgenes de la narrativa convencional con una elegancia lúdica y una profundidad intelectual envidiable. Conocido por su colaboración temprana con Roberto Bolaño en Consejos de un discípulo de Morrison a un fanático de Joyce, Porta ha consolidado en la editorial Acantilado una obra donde la metaliteratura no es un simple ejercicio de estilo vacío sino una exploración de las infinitas posibilidades del relato. En El invierno en Millburn y otros relatos, nos ofrece una pieza que, aunque etiquetada como cuentos, funciona como una novela compacta y circular sobre el propio oficio de escribir.
In which we discuss The Part About the Critics, section 1 of Roberto Bolaño's posthumous masterpiece, "2666."
Transcription by Ben Lerner is a poetic meditation on art, technology and what it really means to be alive.

Las fronteras parecen naturales e inamovibles, pero son construcciones humanas frágiles que moldean identidades, perpetúan desigualdades y reflejan las relaciones de poder del mundo. Desde la Paz de Westfalia hasta los muros contemporáneos, la frontera ha tomado formas muy distintas: línea trazada sobre un mapa, barrera física de contención o espacio vivo donde se forjan identidades híbridas. ¿Por qué cada vez hay más muros si la globalización prometía un mundo sin barreras? ¿Qué nos dice la identidad chicana sobre vivir entre dos culturas? ¿Es posible o siquiera deseable un mundo sin fronteras? Hoy en "No es el fin del mundo" hablamos de la frontera. Libros: Anatomía de la frontera - Juan Carlos Velasco (Tecnos) Estados amurallados, soberanía en declive - Wendy Brown (Herder) Atlas de las fronteras - Bruno Tertrais y Delphine Papin El arte de habitar la frontera - Natxo Escandell (Barlin) Borderlands - Gloria Anzaldúa (Capitán Swing) Perras de reserva - Dahlia de la Cerda (Sexto Piso) Basura - Sylvia Aguilar Zéleny (Tránsito) 2666 - Roberto Bolaño (Alfaguara)
Die Literaturagenten sprechen über eine der ältesten Erfindungen der Menschheit - die Puppe. "Wo es Menschen gab, gab es immer auch Puppen" - das schreibt die Autorin Tanja Reich in ihrem neuen Buch "Die Puppe" und wir sprechen über ihre Kulturgeschichte der Puppe. Außerdem erzählt Roberto Saviano in seinem Roman "Meine Liebe stirbt nicht", warum Liebe innerhalb der Mafia immer ein Fehler ist. Mit Steffen Kopetzy gehen wir auf eine "Harzreise" und mit dem Berliner Autor Thorsten Nagelschmidt nach Mexiko - im Gepäck: der Roman "Die wilden Detektive" von Roberto Bolaño.
Yvette Benavides and Peter Orner discuss Roberto Bolaño' short story " Gómez Palacio." A young writer travels to a desolate northern Mexican town to interview for a teaching position during a particularly grim period of his life. Telling the story in hindsight allows us to see the ways the place was actually unforgettable.
The conversation is in English, after a short introduction in Swedish. Rumäniens främsta författare gästade Internationell författarscenför ett samtal om si tt författarskap och sin aktuella roman "Theodoros", en episk berättelse där myter, legender, hjältar och fantastik flätas samman. Mircea Cărtărescu (född 1956) är Rumäniens ledande författare med ett brett internationellt genomslag. Han introducerades för svenska läsare 2002 med "Nostalgia" och har gett ut flera uppmärksammade verk som "Orbitór"-trilogin, "Travesti" och "Solenoid". Mircea Cărtărescu har översatts till ett tjugotal språk och tilldelats flera prestigefulla priser, däribland Thomas Mann-priset 2018. Lina Wolff är författare och översättare, flerfaldigt prisad för romaner som "De polyglotta älskarna" och "Köttets tid". Hennes översättningar inkluderar Samanta Schweblin, Roberto Bolaño, César Aira och Karina Sainz Borgo, samt en nyöversättning av Gabriel García Márquez klassiker "Hundra år av ensamhet" som uppmärksammats brett. Hösten 2025 är hon aktuell med romanen "Liken vi begravde", för vilken hon tilldelats Augustpriset. I samarbete med Albert Bonniers förlag och Rumänska Kulturinstitutet.

Read Drug Cartels Do Not Exist here: https://a.co/d/00YPWyr7 Through political and cultural analysis of representations of the so-called war on drugs, Oswaldo Zavala makes the case that the very terms we use to describe drug traffickers are a constructed subterfuge for the real narcos: politicians, corporations, and the military. Immigration has endured as a prevailing news topic, but it is a fixture of modern society in the neoliberal era; the future will be one of exile brought on by state violence and the plundering of our natural resources to sate capitalist greed. Yet the realities of violence in Mexico and along the border are obscured by the books, films, and TV series we consume. In truth, works like Sicario, The Queen of the South, and Narcos hide Mexico's political realities. Alongside these examples, Zavala discusses Charles Bowden, 2666 by Roberto Bolaño, and other important Latin American writers as examples of those who do capture the realities of the drug war.

Az év végéhez és az ünnepekhez közeledve az évad utolsó Nem rossz könyvek epizódjában ismét arról volt szó, mik voltak az idei kedvenc könyvélményeink. A lista annyiban csalóka, hogy olyan könyveket végül nem válogattunk be, amikkel idén külön Nem rossz könyvek epizódban foglalkoztunk, így nem került rá például Török Ábel a harmadik ég című könyve vagy a Kicsi kozmosz Selyem Zsuzsától, de ezeket is lelkesen ajánljuk. Ha pedig valaki további könyvötletekre vágyik, érdemes lehet átfutnia a 2023-as és a 2024-es listánkat is. A könyvek, amiket beválogattunk: Babarczy Eszter - Apám meghal Solvej Balle - A térfogatszámításról I.-II. Neige Sinno - Nyomorult tigris Olga Tokarczuk - Empuszion (Tokarczukkal külön epizódot is szántuk, Fehér Renátóval beszélgettünk az életművéről.) Rachel Cusk - Parádé David Graeber-David Wengrow - Mindenek hajnala (a cikk róla itt lelhető fel) Karl Ove Knausgård - A harmadik birodalom (Knausgård életművéről tavaly beszélgettünk a fordítójával, Kúnos Lászlóval.) Paul Kingsnorth - Against the machine, és az említett blog az esszékkel. És a verses kötetek: Zilahi Anna - Gyengédség Roberto Bolaño - A romantikus kutyák Csordás Kata - A tékozlás öröme Peer Krisztián - Pazarlás Valamint a gyerekkönyvek: Jakob Martin Strid - Hihetetlen történet az óriás körtéről Kiss Judit Ágnes - Babarókák Jill Barklem - Szederberek összes meséje Simona Smatana - Komposzti Ferkó és a többiek Ted Forsström - Hallgass, Tappancs, halkan vakkants! és Puffancs morog, gyomra korog See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ófeigur Sigurðarson lítur við í hljóðstofu, en hann þýddi nýverið smásagnasafn chileska rithöfundarins Roberto Bolaño, Putas asesinas, eða morðhórur í íslenskri þýðingu Ófeigs. Smásögurnar í safninu eru álitnar með því besta sem höfundurinn gaf frá sér og í því koma öll hans helstu einkenni og efnistök; kynferðismál, ofbeldi, ljóðlist, glötuð æska og umkomuleysi í framandi heimi. Ó eilífi foss sem rambar á fossvegum guðs er yfirskrift nýútkominnar hljómplötu og tónverks eftir Kolbein Bjarnason. Yfirskriftin er fengin úr ljóði Steinunnar Sigurðardóttur, og raunar er tónverkið allt byggt á skáldskap hennar, því Kolbeinn settist niður með 10 ljóðabækur Steinunnar sem komu út á fimmtíu ára tímabili og ákvað að velja úr þeim jafnmörg ljóð til tónsetningar. Hann segir frá ferlinu í síðari hluta þáttar, en um miðbik þáttar rýnir Gréta Sigríður Einarsdóttir í Útreiðartúrinn, eftir Rögnu Sigurðardóttur.

On this week's show, Steve, Dana, and Julia merge their consciousnesses—so to speak—to reflect on Pluribus, the latest television saga from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. In this unlikely body snatchers/sci-fi mashup, Rhea Seehorn plays a woman intent on saving the world from… eternal happiness? What exactly it needs saving from—or if it needs saving at all—is fodder for much discourse. Next, they turn to the ruminative and funny family drama Sentimental Value, directed by Norwegian auteur Joachim Trier and starring Stellan Skarsgård and Renate Reinsve. Finally, they take a look at a recent piece in The Ankler by Richard Rushfield crunching the numbers to reveal that, since #MeToo, troublingly few major films have been directed by women. In an exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, it's time to party! Or rather, it's time for a reflective discussion about parties as pieces of personal culture. Endorsements Dana: Reading up on the historical figure Jean Ross, the writer and activist who inspired both the song “These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)” and the character Sally Bowles of Goodbye to Berlin/Cabaret notoriety. Julia: Kate McKinnon talking with Amy Poehler on Good Hang and Jennifer Lawrence talking with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang on Las Culturistas— celebrities interviewing celebrities isn't all bad!

Pulitzer Prize finalist Ed Park joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss his debut short story collection, An Oral History of Atlantis. Park talks about writing the stories in the book over a period of about 25 years, during which he was frequently asked to read in New York and crafted work for specific venues, audiences, and events. He explains how this led to a wide-ranging and ultimately linked set of pieces in a variety of first-person voices. He considers why the short story form invites him to a greater degree of experimentation, to lean more heavily on humor, and to draft more quickly even as he took longer to assemble the whole volume. Park reads from “The Gift,” one of the stories in the collection.

Pulitzer Prize finalist Ed Park joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss his debut short story collection, An Oral History of Atlantis. Park talks about writing the stories in the book over a period of about 25 years, during which he was frequently asked to read in New York and crafted work for specific venues, audiences, and events. He explains how this led to a wide-ranging and ultimately linked set of pieces in a variety of first-person voices. He considers why the short story form invites him to a greater degree of experimentation, to lean more heavily on humor, and to draft more quickly even as he took longer to assemble the whole volume. Park reads from “The Gift,” one of the stories in the collection.

Az év legnagyobb hazai irodalmi történése Tandori Dezső első, de egészen idáig kiadatlan verseskötetének, az Egyetlennek a megjelenése. A kötetet 1964-ben visszadobta a Magvető, Tandori pedig egy noteszba írta le kézírással a verseket, és küldte el Párizsba barátjának, Márffy Albinnak. Sok évtizeddel később és pár évvel Tandori halála után Márffy Albintól került vissza a kötet Magyarországra, hogy aztán végre megjelenhessen. Ebben hatalmas érdemei voltak a zenész Pándi Balázsnak, aki évek óta szenvedélyesen kutatja a Tandori-hagyatékot, és aki megkereste a kötet tervével Simon Mártont, aki éppen egy évvel ezelőtt indított el saját mikrokiadóját, az Okapi Presst. Velük beszélgettünk többek között Tandori alakjáról és életművéről, a kötet kalandos történetéről, hogy mit érdemes olvasni Tandoritól, és hogy mi értelme van mikrokiadót indítani. A tartalomból: 00:00 Pár verseskötet, amit említünk: a Szép versek 2025 a Magvetőtől és Csordás Kata kötete, A tékozlás öröme. És lesz élő podcastfelvételünk a Művészetek völgyében, hamarosan kiderülnek a részletek, például a vendégünk kiléte is! 3:15 A mai témánk Tandori Dezső első, de csak most megjelent kötete, az Egyetlen. És két vendégünk Pándi Balázs és Simon Márton. Rögtön az első kérdés: hogyan lett számukra ennyire fontos Tandori? És mi van a „sapkás, medvés, verebes” Tandorin túl? Nincs olyan típusú vers, amit el lehet képzelni, és Tandori ne írta volna már meg régen. Simon Márton emlegetett könyvesmagazinos cikke itt, a hivatkozott telexes cikk pedig itt olvasható. 9:36 Tandori lemezgyűjteményének története, az emlegetett Instagram, és a 444-es film Pándi Balázsról. És az összefüggés az absztinencia beállta és a Tandori-kutatás felerősödése között. 14:50 Márffy Albin és a véletlenek szerepe, és miért dobta vissza a Magvető 1964-ben a kéziratot? 24:00 Hogyan kerül egy ennyire kis kiadóhoz ez a kötet? 27:10 És hogyan lehet ennyit írni? Ez nem munka, hanem létezési forma. A rengeteg még nem ismert mű és a váratlan Tandori-Prince párhuzam. 35:36 Tandorit akkor érdemes olvasni, ha vágysz arra az elveszettségre, hogy csak visz a szöveg. Olyan szerző, aki alkalmas arra, hogy kimozdítson a valóságból. 42:57 Az Okapi Press története és az első év tapasztalatai. További tervek elfeledett művek kiadására, még ha ennél durvább valószínűleg már nem lesz. 60:50 Könyvek vendégeink ajánlásában: magyar festészeti kötetek, Kiss Tibor Noé - Olvadás, Roberto Bolaño - Vad nyomozók, Kemény István - Lovag Dulcinea, Fancsali Kinga - Nem a haláltól és Tandori Dezső - Még így sem.

Ben Luke talks to Huma Bhabha about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Bhabha was born in 1962 in Karachi, Pakistan, and has been based in the US since 1981—she now lives in Poughkeepsie, New York state. She has achieved a profoundly individual figurative sculptural language, exploring the rich history of her medium while also looking to the future. Informed by ancient monuments, Modernist sculpture and an array of other artforms, Huma employs various sculptural traditions—from modelling with clay, to carving, to found-object assemblage—to create figures that are monumental yet vulnerable, otherworldly yet rooted in the vicissitudes of contemporary geopolitics. Alongside her sculptures, Huma has made similarly powerful work in two-dimensions, particularly in combinations of drawing and collage. She reflects on the early and ongoing impact of Rembrandt on her work, her fascination with Pablo Picasso and Robert Smithson, the influence of the writing of Amy Goodman and Roberto Bolaño and how she has responded to the films of Jean-Luc Godard and Jean Negulesco. She also gives insight into her life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including: what is art for?Huma Bhabha—Encounters: Giacometti, Barbican, London, until 10 Aug; Huma Bhabha: Distant Star, 13 June-26 July.

In the story “Clara” by Roberto Bolaño, a man tells the story of a woman he knew in his youth. Over three decades later, he hasn't forgotten her. The story is riddled with tells that reveal that he's carried the memory of her around with him for all that time. What is the hold she has on him all about?
¡Hola, los amigos des libros! In the first episode of the Summer Season, the Book Banditos, Ben and John, head south of the border to chat about Roberto Bolaño's magnum opus: "2666". Is the tone of this description a meta commentary on Bolaño's portrayal of hapless literati facing the true horror at the heart of the world? You'll have to listen to find out!In this episode, the first of four, we discussed "The Part About the Critics" and "The Part About Amalfitano". Topics of conversation include Bolaño's use of genre elements to develop tone, a psychoanalytic reading of the behavior of bourgeoisie academics, and the magickal power of the Western Canon. As always, we hope that you enjoy our conversation!
México es un país densamente poblado, con una cultura muy rica y una posición geopolítica que lo coloca como un nexo entre océanos y continentes. ¿Por qué no ha conseguido convertirse en una potencia media? ¿Qué es lo que frena su poder? Su convulsa historia desde la independencia, la compleja relación fronteriza con Estados Unidos y sus problemas estructurales como el narcotráfico han impedido su ascenso. Hoy en “No es el fin del mundo” hablamos de México, la gran potencia frustrada. Entradas para nuestro directo en Estación Podcast (20 de mayo): https://www.estacionpodcast.com/participantes/no-es-el-fin-del-mundo/ Fe de errores: -Cuando hablamos de Gustavo Madero en realidad nos referimos a su hermano Francisco I.

Abraham Gragera nos presenta La domesticación (Ed. Pre-Textos), su nuevo poemario, un libro con gran conciencia histórica y vocación colectiva que se pregunta -desde la perspectiva que ofrece la paternidad- cuánto margen existe para la insubordinación y que se publica veinte años después de su debut en la poesía con Adiós a la época de los grandes caracteres, libro muy influyente que también sale a relucir en la charla.Luego, Ignacio Elguero nos recuerda que aún está abierta la convocatoria para participar en el XVII Premio de Poesía Joven de RNE, además de proponernos otras lecturas: Los detectives salvajes, el clásico contemporáneo de Roberto Bolaño en la nueva edición de Alfaguara con ilustraciones de Luis Scafati y Guardé el anochecer en el cajón, poemario de la Premio Nobel surcoreana Han Kang que podemos leer en una traducción de Sunme Yoon para Lumen.Además, Sergio C. Fanjul nos habla de Proust, novela familiar (Ed. Anagrama) libro en el que la académica progresista Laure Murat entreteje la descripción de la peripecia vital y del ambiente en el que se movió el autor francés con su propia experiencia, muy vinculada a él, puesto que sus ancestros son mencionados en En busca del tiempo perdido. Terminamos Desmontando el poema con la ayuda de Mariano Peyrou, que en esta nueva entrega se recrea en uno de los Poemas escogidos que la editorial Siruela acaba de publicar en un volumen que recoge parte de la obra que el Nobel Joseph Brodsky produjo entre 1962 y 1996.Escuchar audio

On this episode, we're joined by author and international human rights barrister Philippe Sands to talk about his latest book, 38 Londres Street, a gripping exploration of justice, memory, and impunity through the intertwining stories of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and Nazi fugitive Walter Rauff who spent decades in Chile avoiding extradition.We consider the groundbreaking legal concept of universal jurisdiction through the lens of Pinochet's dramatic 1998 arrest in London—a defining moment that transformed international justice—and what it means for the complex geopolitics of today. Drawing inspiration from literary figures like Roberto Bolaño, Bruce Chatwin, and Ariel Dorfman, Sands blends detective-style nonfiction with profound moral complexity, tracing the ominous echoes among Nazi Germany, fascism, and the Cold War. He also tells us about the book's sensational reception in Chile, where the effects of his reporting have reignited long-suppressed debates about accountability and national memory. In typical fashion, we also cover everything from Pinochet's visit to Hatchards a few days before his arrest—where he reportedly bought every book he could find on Napoleon—to his compulsive viewing of Star Wars films while awaiting trial.

John and Elizabeth had the chance to talk with Ieva Jusionyte, anthropologist, journalist, emergency medical technician. Her award-winning books include Exit Wounds, which uses anthropological and journalistic methods to follow guns purchased in the United States through organized crime scenes in Mexico, and their legal, social and personal repercussions. Ieva described researching the topic, balancing structural understandings of how guns become entangled with people on both sides of the border with an emphasis on individual stories. The three also talked about how language captures and fails to capture violence, the ways violence and the fear of violence organize space, and the importance of a humble, responsive, and empathetic approach to speaking with people touched by gun violence.

John and Elizabeth had the chance to talk with Ieva Jusionyte, anthropologist, journalist, emergency medical technician. Her award-winning books include Exit Wounds, which uses anthropological and journalistic methods to follow guns purchased in the United States through organized crime scenes in Mexico, and their legal, social and personal repercussions. Ieva described researching the topic, balancing structural understandings of how guns become entangled with people on both sides of the border with an emphasis on individual stories. The three also talked about how language captures and fails to capture violence, the ways violence and the fear of violence organize space, and the importance of a humble, responsive, and empathetic approach to speaking with people touched by gun violence.
