Podcast appearances and mentions of Samantha Harvey

Le notizie delle ultime settimane ci hanno inevitabilmente riportato davanti agli occhi il nostro rapporto con il trascendente. Nostro in quanto occidentali, parte di un pezzo di mondo che per un paio di millenni è stato fortemente influenzato dal sistema di credenze del cristianesimo, e poi velocemente, nell'arco di mezzo secolo, se ne è allontanato; eppure, allo stesso tempo, sembra rimanere alla ricerca di qualcosa che possa andare oltre la realtà materiale e le nozioni scientifiche. Una ricerca che si può svolgere dentro i confini della dottrina, ma anche fuori, mentre la chiesa a sua volta sembra guardare anche ai laici, quando parla al mondo. Nella puntata in onda sabato, i libri e gli autori protagonisti di Alice forniscono qualche risposta, ma soprattutto molte domande, sui temi fondamentali dell'esistenza: vita e morte. E, perché no, qualche eventuale miracolo.Le vite sono quelle che racconta Fabio Genovesi in Mie magnifiche maestre (Mondadori), storie delle donne che hanno dato forma alla vita dell'autore, attraverso una serie di lezioni che l'hanno reso l'uomo che è oggi. Madri, nonne, zie, amiche, in molti casi defunte: ed ecco che il libro diventa anche occasione per una serie di riflessioni sul tempo, la memoria, e quello che c'è oltre la vita.Le morti – o i morti – ce le racconta invece l'autore belga Philippe Boxho, autore di La parola ai morti – Indagini di un medico legale (Ponte alle Grazie). Com'è facile capire dal sottotitolo, Boxho ha un punto di osservazione privilegiato sul tema: è anatomopatologo e professore di Medicina legale, e in queste pagine ha raccolto le storie, vere, “raccontate” dai suoi cadaveri. Storie macabre, misteriose, sorprendenti, e quasi sempre inevitabilmente un po' comiche.I miracoli, infine, sono quelli che va cercando la protagonista di Cartagloria (Adelphi), ritorno al romanzo – con fortissime connotazioni autobiografiche – di Rosa Matteucci. Miracoli non nel senso letterale del termine, ma come metonimia di una ricerca del trascendente, condotta attraverso tutta la vita: a volte con risultati grotteschi, certo, ma capace di farle raggiungere una nuova consapevolezza. Un libro comico e commovente insieme.Chiude la puntata di Alice Mirador, lo spazio in cui voci della letteratura in italiano raccontano le novità letterarie più sorprendenti: oggi Giuliana Altamura presenta Orbital (NN editore) di Samantha Harvey, vincitore del Booker Prize 2024.undefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

Samantha Harvey's novel Orbital is a sensuous, exhilarating meditation about the strangeness of life on a space station, with its mix of tedious tasks and jaw-dropping views. And: a musician who rode the rails in his youth shares the slang he picked up along the way. For example, the word spanging is a blend of the words spare and changing, and means “panhandling.” Plus, what does the doggie say? The sound of a dog barking is often written as bow wow. But why? Doesn't barking sound more like ruff ruff? Plus, slang on the ski slopes, boodling, a jazzy pangram, larruping good food, avoir le moral dans les chaussettes, a quiz about puzzling store names, ride or die, a clever answer for when someone inquires as to how you're doing, and lots more.

Booker-Preis-Gewinnerin Samantha Harvey hat mit »Umlaufbahnen« für ein Lesehighlight gesorgt.

I denne RumNyt skal vi blandt andet høre om rumskrot, galakse-billeder og en privat rummission der flyver over polerne. Vi møder også et sort hul, der spiser grimt(!), en ny metode til at finde exoplaneter, og skal igen-igen lige vende sagaen om Suni og Butch. I vores hovedhistorie gør vi en slags status for Europas opsendelses-kapacitet i kølvandet på test-opsendelsen af den tyske Spectrum-raket fra Isar Aerospace i Norge forleden. Dén opsendelse varede kun knap 40 sekunder og endte med en stor eksplosion, men ændrer ikke på håbet om at skabe europæiske konkurrenter til SpaceX, Blue Origin og de andre amerikanske raketfirmaer.

Our reviewer Bill Hastings casts his eye over two books he recommends for good reading. The books discussed are: Orbital by Samantha Harvey and Ted Lasso and Philosophy.

"The earth is the answer to every question." - Stine deelt een levenswijsheid uit het boek Orbital van Samantha Harvey.

We're up on the International Space Station this week, floating around with our coworkers/friends, looking at the earth as it speeds by multiple times a day. We're not really "doing" anything in like, a "narrative" sense. But it's a vibe, man. Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.Follow @overduepod on Instagram and BlueskyAdvertise on OverdueSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kazuo Ishiguro's most popular novel is as relevant today as when it was published 20 years ago.--When it was published in 2005, Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go was acclaimed by critics and shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Twenty years on – having been adapted for stage and screen and adopted as a set text for schools – it is Ishiguro's most read work, and is considered a modern classic.Why does this profoundly settling book continue to absorb us? And what does it tell us about the role novels play in helping us grapple with the ethical dilemmas created by advances in science and technology?The critic David Sexton has been re-reading Never Let Me Go and joins Tom Gatti on the Culture from the New Statesman to discuss the impact of Ishiguro's most popular work.RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODE: Winner of the 2025 Booker Prize, Samantha Harvey, on her novel Orbital - and how "political choices are sculpting the surface of the earth"https://www.newstatesman.com/podcasts/culture-podcast/2024/11/booker-prize-winner-samantha-harvey-political-choices-are-sculpting-the-surface-of-the-earthREADDavid's essay: Kazuo Ishiguro's everyday dystopiahttps://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/book-of-the-day/2025/03/kazuo-ishiguro-never-let-me-go-everyday-dystopiaGO AD-FREESubscribers can listen to all episodes ad-free in the New Statesman app: iOS: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/new-statesman-magazine/id610498525Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.progressivemediagroup.newstatesman&hl=en_GB&gl=US&pli=1SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTERGet the best of our reporting direct to your inbox every weekend with The Saturday Read.Sign up at saturdayread.substack.comBECOME A SUBSCRIBERFull access from £8.99 per month: https://secure.newstatesman.com/offer Hosted on Acast.

En #HoyEsRisco del martes 18 de marzo, el periodista Salvador Camarena comentó sobre la prohibición de las corridas de toros con violencia en la Ciudad de México. Es una simulación, una chapucería, una mentira; es un proceso preocupante porque el maltrato animal ya está penado a iniciativa de la presidencia Claudia Sheinbaum. Esta legislación no honra a la fiesta brava ni la nueva cultura que pretenden establecer, precisó. En el “Meollo del asunto” con Olivia Zerón, habló sobre el caso de una mujer, que afirma haberse enamorado de un chatbot creado por ChaptGPT tras iniciar una conversación en verano, historia reportada por el podcast The Daily en The New York Times. En el Club de Lectura Leeré, Leeré con Pedro Ángel Palou se habló del libro Orbital de Samantha Harvey, publicado por Editorial Anagrama y ganador del Premio Booker 2024. Finalmente, en los deportes Tlatoani Carrera comentó sobre el próximo partido de la Selección Mexicana frente a Canadá dentro de la Nations League.

ASV prezidents Donalds Tramps minējis, ka Grenlande nonāks ASV pārziņā "šādā vai citādā veidā". Kāpēc pēkšņi šāda interese par pasaules lielāko salu, kura praktiski ir neapdzīvota? Un, ko par šādu interesi domā Dānijas valdība, kuras pārziņā šobrīd ir Grenlande? Iepazīstam šo teritoriju, tās dārgumus un politiskās spēles par tās iegūšanu. Raidījuma ievadā grāmatu rubrikā jūras biologs Andris Andrušaitis iepazīstina ar Samantas Hārvijas (Samantha Harvey) grāmatu "Orbitāle" (Orbital). Bet studijā saruna ar polārpētniekiem, Latvijas Universitātes Eksakto zinātņu un tehnoloģiju fakultātes asociētajiem profesoriem Kristapu Lamsteru un Jāni Karušu, atvaļinātu vēstnieku, vieslektoru Latvijas Universitāte un Juridiskajā augstsskolā Gintu Jegermani. Attālināti runātājiem pievienojas Ivars Sīlis – latvietis, kurš dzīvo Grenlandē. Raidījumā arī īss kurss akmeņogļu vēsturē un to ciltskoka izpētē, ko palīdz lūkot Latvijas Universitātes Ģeoloģijas muzeja eksperte, ģeoloģijas doktore Vija Hodireva. Akmeņogles zinām kā lētāko un efektīvāko kurināmo siltuma un elektroenerģijas ieguvei. Pareizāk sakot – zinājām, jo nu jau ar katru gadu akmeņogļu ieguve kļūst aizvien dārgāka. Tas ir neatjaunojams fosilais kurināmais, un to ekoloģiskā pēda atmosfērā jeb izmeši ir liela un kaitīga. Īsi un vienkārši runājot, akmeņogļu dzimšanas gads – karbona jeb oglekļa periods, vairāk nekā 300 miljonus gadu senā pagātnē, vieta – bagātīgi augiem klāti purvi, tuvākie radinieki – māte kūdra un oglekļa „ģimenē” ietilpstošās brūnogles, grafīts, antracīts, dimants. Skatot zemes dzīļu slāņus Latvijā, akmeņogles pie mums nav atrodamas, toties Dienvidkurzemē ir rodamas brūnogles. Tās kā iespējamais kurināmais pētītas jau 19. gs. sākumā, bet konstatēja, ka brūnoglēm ir pārlieku daudz sēra piemaisījuma. Arī vēlāk – laikā līdz pat 20. gs 50. gadiem – šīs ogles tika iegūtas un pētītas, bet tā kā to praktiskā nozīme, tās dedzinot, ir ļoti niecīga, tad tagad tās vienkārši ir iegrāmatotas Latvijas derīgo izrakteņu sarakstā kā eksotisks ģeoloģisks veidojums, – tā grāmatā par mūsu zemē rodamajiem izrakteņiem raksta ģeologi Austra un Ģirts Stinkuļi.

This week, stuff was going on at your school that you didn't know about at the time. Write your way back into the memories and the discoveries.Reading recommendation: ORBITAL, by Samantha Harvey.

Samantha Harvey's novel “Orbital,” which won the Booker Prize last year, has a tight, poetic frame: We follow one day in the lives of six people working on a space station above Earth, orbiting the planet 16 times every 24 hours. But this is not a saga of adventure or exploration. It's a quiet meditation on what it means to be human, prompted by a series of personal reckonings each character faces while floating 250 miles above home.This week on the Book Review Book Club, MJ Franklin talks about “Orbital” with fellow Book Review editors Joumana Khatib and Jennifer Harlan.

Today on the 5: I recently finished a book titled Orbital by Samantha Harvey. It's a fictional journey across 16 orbits of the ISS detailing the daily lives and internal stories of the astronauts onboard. It's an amazingly well written and interesting book, but it's defiinitely not for everyone.

Cristina Sánchez-Andrade nos presenta Habitada (Ed. Anagrama), su nueva novela, inspirada en la leyenda de la "Espiritada de Moeche", un caso de posesión en la Galicia de principios del siglo XX que nos da pie a hablar de brujería, caciquismo y represión sexual. Luego, Javier Lostalé nos lee unos versos de Tampoco yo soy un robot (Ed. Vaso Roto), poemario en el que Amalia Iglesias Serna se rebela contra el capitalismo caníbal.En su sección, Ignacio Elguero nos recomienda tres novelas basadas en la conversación: Tierra de empusas (Ed. Anagrama), la primera obra que publica la polaca Olga Tokarczuk después de ganar el Premio Nobel de Literatura, Cuéntamelo todo (Ed. Alfaguara), de la estadounidense Elizabeth Strout, y Noches rusas (Ed. Pre-Textos), del escritor ruso del siglo XIX Vladímir Odóievski.En Peligro en La estación, nuestro colaborador Sergio C. Fanjul pone sobre la mesa Orbital (Ed.

It's a day in the lives of a team of 6 international astronauts as they orbit the earth. There are mundane daily tasks, solitude, as well as profoundly moving vistas of the fragile earth below. “Orbital: a Novel” by Samantha Harvey, winner of the 2004 Booker Prize, is reviewed on this week's "All About Books."

From down here on Earth, life on the International Space Station seems magnificent: floating through the day, enjoying stunning views out your window, having an experience only a handful of other people will ever get.But what's it really like to live up there? How does experiencing 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets every day change your perception of time? How do you cope with being so far from the people you love?Those are some of the questions explored in the novel Orbital, which won the Booker Prize late last year. In the book, author Samantha Harvey imagines the inner life of astronauts aboard the ISS.Host Flora Lichtman is joined by Samantha Harvey, along with astronaut Dr. Cady Coleman, who spent almost six months on the Space Station, and is an author herself. They talk about the unexpected mundanities of living in space, how Harvey was inspired to write the book during lockdown, and how astronauts make sense of their new reality when separated from the rest of humanity.Universe of Art is hosted and produced by D Peterschmidt, who also wrote the music. Our show art is illustrated by Abelle Hayford. And support for Science Friday's science and arts coverage comes from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.Do you have science-inspired art you'd like to share with us for a future episode? Send us an email or a voice memo to universe@sciencefriday.com.

'Bad Hombre' de Pola Oloixarac (Random House) es una novela , podría ser un reportaje, pero se impone la ficción que no afecta a los hechos. Podemos darle muchas vueltas al género literario de este libro, pero lo que es seguro es que no va a pasar desapercibido. Pola no se corta y entra de lleno en las polémicas cancelaciones de hombres que tienen que ver más con sospechas que con hechos, con las condenas que no hace falta probar. Ella cree que este tipo de acciones hacen un flaco favor al feminismo. Sabe que su libro es provocador, pero no le importa. Ella narra historias que le han contado hombres y mujeres que son o fueron de su entorno o que se pusieron en contacto con ella. Es una novela con la que acabas discutiendo ¿Pero acaso no es bueno debatir? Seguro que sí. Además de su libro, Pola Oloixarac nos ha donado dos libros que cree que todo el mundo debe leer: 'El mundo deslumbrante' de Siri Husvedt (Seix Barral) y  'Pálido fuego' de Vladimir Nabokov (Anagrama) . Antes, Antonio Martínez Asensio, nuestro bibliotecario, nos trajo 4 libros relacionados con la actualidad: 'Sobre la tiranía: 20 lecciones que aprender del siglo XX " de Timothy Snyder (Galaxia Gutemberg),  'El valle de las flores' de Niviaq Korneliussen (Sexto Piso),  'Hojas de hierba' de Walt Whiman (Alianza) y 'Matar a un ruiseñor' de Harper Lee (Harper Collins). En el capítulo de novedades, Pepe Rubio trajo dos y un premio. Las dos novedades: 'Una vida ' de Alejandro Palomas (Destino) y 'Orbital' de Samantha Harvey (Anagrama). El premio, el Alfaguara 2025 que se acaba de fallar: 'Arderá el viento" de Guillermo Saccomano (Alfaguara). Del programa 'Un libro una hora' de Martínez Asensio nos quedamos con 'La flecha negra' de Robert Louis Stevenson (Alianza Editorial). Y finalmente los oyentes de Hoy por Hoy nos han donado 'El bosque animado' de Wenceslao Fernández Florez (Austral) y 'La verguenza' de Annie Ernaux (Cabaret Voltaire y Tusquets)

From down here on Earth, life on the International Space Station seems magnificent: floating through the day, enjoying stunning views out your window, having an experience only a handful of other people will ever get.But what's it really like to live up there? How does experiencing 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets every day change your perception of time? How do you cope with being so far from the people you love?Those are some of the questions explored in the novel Orbital, which won the Booker Prize late last year. In the book, author Samantha Harvey imagines the inner life of astronauts aboard the ISS.Host Flora Lichtman is joined by Samantha Harvey, along with astronaut Dr. Cady Coleman, who spent almost six months on the Space Station, and is an author herself. They talk about the unexpected mundanities of living in space, how Harvey was inspired to write the book during lockdown, and how astronauts make sense of their new reality when separated from the rest of humanity.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

This week on Bookends, we revisit Eleanor Wachtel's conversation with Samantha Harvey, the winner of the 2024 Booker Prize. They spoke on Writers & Company in 2015 about Samantha's novel Dear Thief, which was inspired by a Leonard Cohen song. Samantha also explores her interest in themes of aging, why she writes about the unfamiliar, and infusing her work with philosophical questions.

Shortly after her Booker Prize win, we were delighted to host Samantha Harvey in conversation with Chief Executive of the Booker Prize Foundation, Gaby Wood, at Waterstones Piccadilly. In a wide-ranging conversation we discovered so much about Harvey's writing process, preoccupations and response to seeing her novel Orbital triumph, and it is our privilege to be able to share that conversation with a wider audience. Enjoy!
