Alice Sat, 09 Nov 2024 13:40:00 GMT RSI - Radiotelevisione svizzera false no con Sandra Newman al microfono di Michele R. Serra 00:13:44

Settembre Nero (La nave di Teseo) è il nuovo romanzo storico di Sandro Veronesi. Storico perché ci fa affondare nell'Italia di mezzo secolo fa, nell'estate del 1972, anno delle olimpiadi di Monaco, dell'attacco terroristico del gruppo Settembre nero – appunto – agli atleti israeliani. Ma quello, si scopre presto, è solo un evento sullo sfondo di quell'estate: sono tutt'altri i motivi per cui sarà nero, l'assolato settembre del giovanissimo protagonista, Gigio Bellandi di anni dodici. Quel settembre sarà infatti la coda di una lunghissima stagione di vacanze al mare, che parte dolce e piena di scoperte, poi sfocia in un amore purissimo, ma è destinata a un finale devastante. Che qualcosa di terribile debba succedere è chiaro fin dall'inizio, di cosa si tratti lo sarà solo alla fine. Ma è chiaro fin da subito che l'amore, no, non trionfa.E non trionfa neppure – anzi – in Julia (Ponte alle Grazie) di Sandra Newman, la scrittrice americana che sarà la seconda ospite di Alice. Julia è la metà di una coppia: coppia clandestina con Winston Smith, il protagonista di 1984 di George Orwell. Sandra Newman ha riscritto quel capolavoro proprio dalla prospettiva di Julia: ne è uscita una vicenda radicalmente cambiata, ma non per questo meno oscura rispetto all'originale di Orwell. Anche nel 1984 del 2024, di spazio per l'amore ce n'è poco. L'ultima coppia che incontreremo è quella formata da un lupo e una gallina: Alberto e Marta, una delle coppie protagoniste dello storico fumetto italiano che proprio nel 2024 compie 50 anni, Lupo Alberto. L'uomo che sta dietro quel fumetto di enorme successo, Silver, è un genio assoluto della battuta, del tempo comico. La striscia a fumetti è forse uno degli oggetti letterari più difficili da realizzare, e Silver in questo ha un talento mostruoso. Fosse nato a New York o in C, oggi sarebbe noto in tutto il mondo come Charles M. Schulz dei Peanuts.Dentro Alice ci sarà naturalmente anche Mirador, lo specchio che riflette proposte librarie insolite e sorprendenti, recensite da grandi voci della letteratura in italiano. Questa settimana Viola di Grado racconterà The Italy Letters di Vi Khi Nao (Melville House Books).

In this week's podcast episode, I sat down with Florence Gaub, the Director of Research at the NATO Defense College in Rome. A World Economic Forum's Global Future Council member, and Vice-President of the European Forum Alpbach, Florence is a master of strategic foresight and international security. Her latest book, The Future, is a must-read, exploring how humanity's visions of tomorrow have shifted in different historical contexts. Our conversation spanned various domains, from the fascinating work being done at NATO to her new book, which I read and absolutely loved. Although it's not out in English yet, I have been assured that the release is on the horizon – so keep your eyes peeled! In our conversation, Florence walked us through her career, the impact of her recent publication, and, as always, the four books which have been most pivotal in her life and her work. From a mysterious Dutch novel from her childhood to Isaac Asimov's The Foundation, each pick tells a unique story about how we perceive time, and how this has changed in line with the maturation of our societies. Excitingly, Florence also shared some insights into the methodology of strategic foresight and the ethical implications of forecasting the future – and the technologies she thinks we'll look back on and laugh at in 100 years time. 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! Florence's four books were: The Towers of February, Tonke Dragt (1973) The Foundation Part 1, Isaac Asimov (1951) Nos Derniers Festins, Chantal Pelletier (2019) Julia, Sandra Newman (2023)

Alle Menschen mit einem XY-Chromosomen verschwinden: Ehemänner, Väter, Söhne, Freunde. Kein Sexismus, keine Unterdrückung, keine Übergriffe. Sandra Newman erforscht in ihrem Roman „Das Verschwinden“ eine Welt ohne Männer, dafür aber mit feministischen Utopien und ambivalenten Figuren. Rezension von Kristine Harthauer

George Orwell died way back in 1950, and his estate has never allowed anyone to canonically (or legally) contribute to the immense worldbuilding of "1984"... Until now. Sandra Newman recently wrote "Julia," the official sequel to 1984, which happens conterminously with its events, but from the perspective of Winston's paramour, Julia. Josh Jennings joins to discuss.

Our "marriage plot" season continues, with freelance writer and podcaster Catherine Nichols joining us to talk about the "least fun" Bronte sister, and her novel about what happens when you marry a drunken frat boy (or whatever the 19th-century equivalent of a frat was).  Check out Catherine's podcast, Lit Century, in which she and author Sandra Newman read through the 20th century, one year at a time: https://lithub.com/author/litcentury/ If you're enjoying our show, and would like more of it, subscribe to our Patreon for just $5 a month, which gets you two monthly bonus episodes (and access to a whole host of old episodes): https://www.patreon.com/BookFight Thanks for listening!

CLICK HERE for the full episode Show Notes on the blog. Highlights Sara explores the definitions of a classic and a modern classic book. We talk about separating the American literature canon from the idea of a classic. Sara talks about being free to define classics on personal terms. The idea of a book being labeled a “future classic.” Now-famous books that went unnoticed initially when they were released. Sara's personal reading motivations. Common issues people have when trying to tackle classic books. Notable quirks of many classics that were first published as serials. Tips and advice for approaching older books. Addressing the pressure surrounding reading or revisiting classics. Examples of nonfiction classics. Legal considerations for all those retellings. The rise of retellings as a trend with today's audience. The difference between retellings and fan fiction. Sara's recommendations for accessible classic literature. A different approach to finding the right retelling for your reading. Please note: Sara mistakenly mentions during the discussion that The Great Gatsbydid not come into popularity until its distribution to soldiers during World War I, when this actually occurred during World War II.

With permission from the Orwell estate, Sandra Newman's latest novel takes place in the same world and with many of the same characters as 1984, but retold through the eyes of Winston Smith's love interest, Julia. It's a deep exploration of women's experiences under totalitarianism, and as Newman tells NPR's Scott Simon, an appreciation of the original that doubles down on some of Orwell's humor and ability to capture the psyche of fear — and unexpected comfort — under political tyranny.

This week's BFG podcast is a feast for the brain. Michael Washburn engages host Neal Pollack in a discussion of Sandra Newman's provocative and "very raunchy" novel 'Julia', a brilliant and extended riff of the world of Oceania in George Orwell's '1984.' Neal somewhat wondered what Newman was getting at, but Michael found her extension of the world extremely compelling and disturbing, a fresh warning about the dangers of totalitarianism. BFG book club recommends it!'Napoleon' has finally arrived in theaters, and Stephen Garrett stops by to talk with Neal about the ultimate dad movie. They both really enjoyed the battles of Austerlitz and Waterloo and some of Joaquin Phoenix's campier lines. Stephen would like to see more of the charisma that made Bonaparte so beloved to the French people. Totally fair. But Neal will brook no criticism of Ridley Scott's Napoleon, the movie of the year if not even close to the best movie of the year.'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,' the Hunger Games prequel, took both Neal and contributor Sara Stewart by surprise. They both enjoyed the gritty early days of Panem vibe, both appreciated the good-quality country-style music, and found the performances persuasive. There's a reason it's a hit, though the love story is unconvincing and the act 3 coda goes on a bit too long. Still very much worth watching, just as the show is very much worth listening to.Enjoy!

At the behest of George Orwell's estate, the acclaimed novelist has brilliantly recast his most famous work.

Joining Georgina Godwin in today's episode is American author Sandra Newman, whose sixth novel, ‘Julia', offers a bold feminist reinterpretation of George Orwell's ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four'. The book expands upon the protagonist Winston Smith's narrative to unveil and explore the experiences of women in Oceania. Born in Boston, Newman has lived in many countries, including Germany, Russia, Malaysia and England, and her professions have ranged from academia to professional gambling. She speaks about her experiences prior to her debut novel, which was published in 2002 to critical acclaim, and how it changed the trajectory of her life. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Rational Security, Quinta and Scott bade a temporary farewell to Alan and spent one last afternoon (for a few months, anyway) digging into the week's big national security news stories, including:“Ceasefire or Misfire?” We are now one month into Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip. As civilian casualties continue to mount and Israel's ground operations get underway, there are growing calls for a ceasefire—calls that the Biden administration may now be taking up, in more limited and temporary fashion. Where are we in this conflict? Is there any end in sight?“Freedom of Screech.” Former President Trump's speech—and the right to it—is increasingly becoming an issue in his various criminal and civil trials, both legal and otherwise (as evidenced by a recent bout of angry shouting he pursued on the stand in his New York civil case). How have courts been balancing the equities? Is there something they can do better?“No, no—THAT's what the Insurrection Act is for.” In an effort spearheaded by co-conspirator number four himself Jeffrey Clark, President Trump and his allies are reportedly planning for a revenge campaign if he returns to the White House, beginning with a complete takeover of the Justice Department. How realistic are these plans? What can be done to stop them?For object lessons, Alan recommended Sandra Newman's “Julia,” a retelling of the classic “1984” from a new perspective. Quinta gave a similar bump to Brandon Taylor's new novel, “The Late Americans.” And Scott rolled logs for his latest piece for Lawfare, a retrospective on the legacy of the War Powers Resolution fifty years after its enactment.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

To mark Halloween, Duran Duran have released Danse Macabre, a “spooky concept” album. Samira talks to Simon Le Bon and John Taylor about working with Nile Rogers, covering The Specials' Ghost Town and taking pop music seriously. This evening Filkin's Drift play the last of almost 50 concerts, concluding their two month that has seen them travel 870 miles…on foot. The duo has walked from gig to gig, carrying their instruments. As they reach Chepstow they tell Samira about their approach to sustainable touring and how this connects with ancient Welsh bardic tradition. Born in 1923, the artist Dobrivoje Beljkasic found refuge in Bristol after the outbreak of the Bosnian War. His daughter Dee Smart and author Priscilla Morris celebrate his life and legacy on the centenary of his birth, marked by a new exhibition in Sarajevo. George Orwell's seminal Nineteen Eighty-Four continues to occupy a lauded, and sometimes controversial, position in political discourse and popular culture three-quarters of a century after it was first written. Sandra Newman discusses reimagining the story from the perspective of Winston Smith's underwritten lover in her new novel, Julia.

If you thought life on Airstrip one was tough for Winston Smith, you ain't seen nothing yet. Because in JULIA, Sandra Newman's reimagining of Orwell's nightmare, if men have it hard, you can bet women have it harder. Taking the roughly sketched character of Julia—Winston's love interest and possible betrayer—Sandra Newman gives her a surname, a history, a life of her own. In short, she breathes a soul into her. And in doing so, not only does she allow readers to revisit 1984 with new eyes but creates a novel that stands tall in its own terrifying pair of jackboots.Buy Julia: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/julia-3SANDRA NEWMAN is the author of The Country of Ice Cream Star (Longlisted for the Women's Prize), The Only Good Thing Anyone Has Ever Done (shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award), Cake, The Heavens and The Men.

We discuss the spaces Orwell's classic left for her own novelistic imagination, what we do and don't know about the world of Big Brother, and whether the misogyny in Orwell's original belongs to the author or the dystopia he depicts.

Melanie O'Loughlin of Lamplight Books reviews The Men by Sandra Newman, published by Allen and Unwin.

In this special live episode, recorded at the Hay Festival, we were joined by Sandra Newman, whose new novel The Men takes a very stark idea and runs with it. What would happen, to the world, to society, to minds, if one day all the Men, and boys—everyone with a Y chromosome in fact—just disappeared? Newman's vision is of a world set free, but also a world plunged into mourning, in which some structures collapse while others hold firm, in which certain of those left behind cling on to the “religious” idea of Men, and all they stood for, while others set about adapting, organising and rebuilding something better. Buy The Men here: https://shakespeareandcompany.com/I/9781783789016/the-men*SUBSCRIBE NOW FOR BONUS EPISODESLooking for Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses? https://podfollow.com/sandcoulyssesIf you want to spend even more time at Shakespeare and Company, you can now subscribe for regular bonus episodes and early access to Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses.Subscribe on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/sandcoSubscribe on Apple Podcasts here: https://podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/shakespeare-and-company-writers-books-and-paris/id1040121937?l=enAll money raised goes to supporting “Friends of Shakespeare and Company” the bookshop's non-profit, created to fund our noncommercial activities—from the upstairs reading library, to the writers-in-residence program, to our charitable collaborations, and our free events.*Sandra Newman is the author of four previous novels; The Only Good Thing Anyone Has Ever Done, (shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award), Cake, The Country of Ice Cream Star (longlisted for the Bailey's Prize for Women's Literature) and The Heavens.

Sometimes the conversations that I have are pure fun. Sometimes informational. This time our conversation filled my heart with love and understanding. My friend Sandra Newman has been a part of my family for many years. We met years ago in a business venture and connected on a level that many won't understand.Sandra is a gift. She has the greatest gift of mercy and compassion. Her upbringing as the oldest child and preacher's kid laid the foundation of her commitment to her family. Sandra and Greg's eldest son, Zack was diagnosed with Deutschen Muscular Dystrophy at the age of 10. Sandra and Greg continued to take care of both their boys, Zach and Josh while running a successful Graphic Design and Photography business. Greg Newman, Sandra's husband of 31 years was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. Greg was promoted to Heaven and on November 24,2021; Zach, 34 joined his dad.Sandra has been referred to as a caretaker. She will agree with that title - but will add that she was the one learning from those that she took care of. She is full of gratitude with a life she didn't plan. Sandra talks about her trust issues and that the experience of living, loving and taking care of her guys brings her to the ultimate trust in God. Sandra is working on her story. She advocates for caregivers "support them by being supportive". One dream is Eden's Wellspring - a group home for young adults over the age of 18, who are physical disabled. Eden's Wellspring will be a home for those to find their home outside of their parents.Sandra's advice "don't quit".I will never quit on you friend. It's an honor to know you. May those that listen add more compassion and mercy to their story. This show is about you - the listener and how you perceive the experiences you have. I am excited for you to get involved and share your story.Thanks for listening. If you enjoyed this podcast, the best compliment is a referral. Share with others and write us a review.

If you don't already know Sandra Newman, you are going to be hearing a lot about her in the next year or so. Her new book, The Men, about a world in which everyone with a Y chromosome vanishes, is out this June, and she is also currently writing a much anticipated feminist retelling of George Orwell's 1984. Sandra has experienced plenty of failure, notably when her publisher declined to publish the second book in her two book deal, We discuss unlikeable books, and she tells me all about the time she pulled off a remarkable publicity stunt fort her first ever play when she was a creative writing student, only for it to get savaged in the press.

We're joined by writer Sandra Newman (author of, most recently, The Country of Ice Cream Star) to discuss a much-revered and deeply weird sci fi novel by M. John Harrison. We talk to Newman about what she loves (and doesn't) about science fiction, a genre we've tended to be hard on in the past. Will this be the book to win us over?   We also talk to Sandra about her own work, her decision to write her most recent novel in a partly-invented dialect, how writers use Twitter, and all the usual jibber jabber.   For more, visit us online at bookfightpod.com.
