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.

2666 es la gran epopeya negra del siglo XXI, donde Bolaño convierte los feminicidios de Juárez en símbolo del mal contemporáneo. Entre policial metafísico y novela total, explora cómo el arte y la violencia son las dos caras de la condición humana.

Už kostiumų dizainą Nauberto Jasinsko spektaklyje „Sugrįžimas“ „Auksinį scenos kryžių“ pelniusi Liucija Kvašytė pasakoja, kad teatro scenoje svarbu ne tik aprengti personažą, bet ir perteikti pjesės viziją. Pavyzdžiui, siurrealistinė Čilės autoriaus Roberto Bolaño „Sugrįžimo“ nuotaika buvo sukurta detalėmis: hiperbolizuotomis formomis, tarsi nereikalingais akcentais, logiką peržengiančiais sprendimais.Ved.

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.

Elizabeth went with the documentary by Raul Paz Pastrana, Border South (2019), which also weaves together the stories of those affected, including the anthropologist Jason De León, in ways that account for the multidimensionality of human experience.

La vida del colombiano Castro parece sacada de una novela de Roberto Bolaño. Hombre culto y del pueblo, compitió contra los mejores del mundo y derrochó cada céntimo que ganó. Hoy, en ‘Cuentos, jaques y leyendas’, rendimos tributo a Óscar Castro, un genio del tablero y de la bohemia. Castro comenzó a mover trebejos en bares y plazas con amigos, vagabundos y prostitutas. «El ajedrez es verdaderamente democrático», dijo Óscar. «Lo puede jugar desde un humilde zapatero a cualquier persona con preparación universitaria». En ‘Enroque corto’, charlamos con Marcelino Sión, presidente del Comité Organizador del Torneo Magistral Ciudad de León, el Roland Garros del ajedrez. En ‘La biblioteca de Caissa’, el maestro Luisón nos recomienda dos nuevos títulos. Y, en ‘La gran diagonal’, recibimos el saludo goyesco del actor Salva Reina. Escucha todos nuestros podcast aquí.

Happy Thanksgiving, Bookheads! We're taking a week off for the holiday, but fear not, we have a special, John-free bonus episode to tide you over till the next regular ep. If you're a Big Ben fan, this one's for you, because he's sitting down with previous guest of the pod, Ana, to have a more casual chat about another banger from the Roberto Bolaño Fascism Extended Universe: "The Savage Detectives". Ben hopes you enjoy the conversation. John hopes you don't so that Ben doesn't try to fire them from the pod. Semper Books!

In this unfortunately timely episode of The Inifinite Library, the Book Boys return to the Roberto Bolaño Fascism Extended Universe to discuss "Distant Star". Topics of conversation include the place of the individual in history, Right Wing kitsch, and how there's a Cheeto in the frickin' White House. As always, we hope you enjoy the conversation.

Two years ago I decided that I hadn't read enough books from countries outside of the US, so I embarked on a journey of reading one book from every country. The journey has been slow as I am not solely focusing on this project. I've made some great progress in Europe and Asia, but Latin America has been a bit of a weak spot for me. Andy has read a few more books from the South American region, so today we are discussing some of the works we've read from these countries, what we think of them.

Welcome to this very special episode of the Lit With Charles podcast, where instead of interviewing an interesting guest, I'm actually responding to 10 listeners' burning questions! Today, you'll get to hear about my earliest memory of falling in love with reading, and how Stephen King's thrilling tales resonated in  my pre-teen years. I'll be spilling the beans on why Roberto Bolaño's 'The Savage Detectives' didn't click for me, and chatting about my scepticism around 'must-read' lists – like those ones that crop up from Barack Obama and the New York Times. Also on the menu: the recent Nobel Prize announcement, and the shock disclosure of which one single classic novel fails to impress me – it's a cultural favourite, and I think it might be a controversial pick. I even manage to touch on my Instagram book review origins (a collection of COVID-19 quarantine updates that went viral) and the shape of this book-loving ecosystem that we've built as a community. It's a roller-coaster of reflections, confessions, and some good old fashioned literary nostalgia. Let's jump in! Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading!

Entrevista con el editor Mario Harrigan y el escritor Luis Ignacio de la Peña sobre la novela "¡Corte!", del sello editorial independiente Plan con Maña. ¡Corte! es una novela sobre el "extinto" Distrito Federal que, a partir de relatos cortos, retrata personajes diversos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, pero que en conjunto revelan la trama de un feminicida serial y una película experimental de un amigo de Luis Buñuel. El autor, Luis Ignacio de la Peña (1952), es un escritor de oficio al estilo de José Emilio Pacheco, Juan José Arreola, Roberto Bolaño y Jorge Ibargüengoitia (guardando las distancias entre todos ellos), que vivió la época de la que escribe y que consiguió un auténtico montaje literario sobre el D.F.  Pide tu libro por mensaje directo aquí El tiraje de la primera edición está limitado a 500 ejemplares. ---- Sigue a Ciudad Literaria: @ciudadliterariacdmx

En este episodio conversamos con Alberto Fuguet, un ícono de la literatura chilena y voz fundamental para los lectores contemporáneos. Con su estilo audaz y su mirada crítica, Fuguet ha desafiado las normas literarias y ha acercado la narrativa a la realidad urbana de América Latina. Repasamos algunas ideas de sus aclamados libros y novelas como “Missing”, “Por favor, rebobinar”, “McCondo”, y “Cierto chicos”, hasta sus reflexiones sobre la cultura pop, Fuguet nos invita a repensar la vida de los escritores, la relevancia de los libros y el rol de la literatura. En este episodio, hablamos sobre libros y chismes de autores como Manuel Puig, Roberto Bolaño Andrés Caicedo, Charles Bukowski, Fernando Vallejo y José Donoso, que revelan mucho de quién es realmente Alberto Fuguet.

En esta nueva entrevista la autora chilena relató su vida actual desde Berlín y su mirada de esa sociedad, cómo la pandemia la hizo moverse de país, su residencia donde se concentró en escribir su último libro, cómo mira Chile desde la distancia y su relación con el desarraigo, la frase polémica que dio en una entrevista, la figura de Roberto Bolaño, su futuro y sus referentes literarios.

“Se toparmos um leve exagero e aceitarmos que a leitura é uma experiência suavíssima de alucinação, nos perguntamos: quantas vezes nós, mulheres, alucinamos ser homens? E que espécies de aventura – muitas delas interditas a nós na vida real – vivenciamos na pele virtual deles? Por meio da nossa imaginação, homens ficcionais existem, e carregam efeitos dessa existência para nossas vidas concretas”. Retiro o trecho da apresentação de “O Homem Não Existe”, livro que a pesquisadora, doutora em literatura, professora e crítica literária Ligia Gonçalves Diniz acaba de publicar pela Zahar. O livro é um longo ensaio no qual Ligia mostra ao leitor como busca compreender e, de alguma maneira, vivenciar a masculinidade por meio da ficção. Sexualidade, raiva e beleza (ou feiura) são alguns dos assuntos pelos quais a autora passa enquanto se debruça sobre obras de autores como Albert Camus, Philip Roth, Roberto Bolaño, Herman Melville, Dante, Graciliano Ramos e Homero. Mas nem só de homens se faz a bibliografia de Ligia. Estão por lá autoras como Susan Sontag, Anne Carson e Audre Lorde. Indo além das letras, há acenos improváveis a músicas de grupos como Art Popular e Engenheiros do Hawaii ou a filmes como “Crepúsculo”. “O Homem Não Existe” também é uma argumentação sobre viver outras experiências por meio da arte. Conversei com Ligia a respeito desse deslocamento numa época em que tantos buscam por espelhos no papo que vocês ouvirão a seguir. Os amores proibidos, as paixões assumidas e a relação entre obra, autores e leitores também foram assuntos da nossa conversa. * Aqui o caminho para a newsletter da Página Cinco: https://paginacinco.substack.com/

Hay algo que nunca sabremos de Roberto Bolaño y eso es ¿qué opinaría de las adaptaciones de sus obras? Lo que sí sabemos es que el cine fue parte importante de sus novelas.

This week we're joined by super reader Ron Restrepo for a discussion about Roberto Bolaño, whom Rodrigo Fresan described as “one of a kind, a writer who worked without a net, who went all out, with no brakes, and in doing so created a new way to be a great Latin American writer.”Do we unlock the mysteries of Bolaño's magic? Probably not. But we do have a great time digging into this fascinating author and his haunting books.Summer Book ClubThe book for the Mookse and the Gripes Summer Book Club 2024 is William Trevor's The Story of Lucy Gault.

We're joined today by Josh Cook. Josh is a bookseller and co-owner at Porter Square Books in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he has worked since 2004. He is the author of the critically acclaimed postmodern detective novel An Exaggerated Murder and most recently of The Art of Libromancy: Selling Books and Reading Books in the Twenty-First Century, published by our friends at Biblioasis.We chat about his work as well as I Hotel by Karen Tei Yamashita, published by Coffee House Press. Some words get thrown around a bit too often and are frequently misapplied. However, I Hotel is absolutely a masterpiece. To give any kind of synopsis is to do the book (and you) a disservice, but in a somewhat quixotic attempt at that: this is a novel comprised of novellas, all set in the San Francisco of the late 60s and early 70s exploring the revolutionary movements (political, cultural, artistic, romantic, and everything that makes life a dazzling experience) of that time and place. It's a wide-ranging conversation and one we hope you'll find as exciting and engaging as we did.Books/authors mentioned (another curriculum for you!):all of Yamashita's other works (Tropic of Cancer is next up for Tom, he thinks)Tell Me How It Ends by Valeria LuiselliWhite Teeth by Zadie SmithNever Did the Fire by Diamela Eltit, translated by Daniel HahnThree Trapped Tigers by G.

[originally published on Patreon Apr 21, 2023; you can also listen to this episode on You Can't Win] Today I'm joined by Muslim Tom (@MuslimTom_) from the podcast You Can't Win to discuss the novel 2666 by Roberto Bolaño. We go through each of the five sections and discuss characters, plots, vibes, and themes. There's almost everything in 2666, including many spiritual themes and parapolitical moments. Towards the end, we discuss the journalists Bolaño was working with who advance extremely noided theories about the femicides. Content warning for discussion of sexual assault and murder. Also, spoilers, but spoilers should be less of a concern for this type of novel anyway. I don't think this episode is an automatic skip if you haven't read 2666 and hopefully this might encourage you to read it. Although you would get the most out of this episode if you read the novel, I'd like to think we lay out the plot and also read enough passages to make the episode enjoyable if you haven't read it.

[originally published on Patreon Sep 15, 2021] Today I answer a question about Roberto Bolaño and his work, read and discuss some of By Night in Chile, and discuss the role crime novels have in society. Then, I'm outed as a believer of magick in another Q&A question asking my opinion on the material basis of magick and whether the ruling class practices magick. I discuss Mormonism in several ways, white and black magick, stage magic, Giordano Bruno and Professor Ioan Culianu, John Dee, the CIA's stage magician John Mulholland, Haitian voudon, a research office tied to the Human Ecology Fund researching witchcraft for psychological warfare, the FBI memo about using magickal harassment (Beware the Siberian Beetle!), and other hints. songs:  Cualquier Noche Puede Salir el Sol by Los Muertos de Cristo Do You Believe in Magic? by the Lovin' Spoonfuls
