In 19th-century Sweden, Caesaria is kept in a doctor's mansion as a trophy: she is the first baby to be born alive from one of his c-sections. In a Gothic ambience, Caesaria narrates in first person her experiences in the mansion and her encounters with its mysterious inhabitants and visitors. Does she know where she comes from? Where is her mother? Is there a world beyond these walls? We interview Hanna Nordenhök about her Gothic tale, published for the first time in English by Heloise Press on the 24th October 2024. Inspired by a real-life nineteenth-century medical miracle, it explores issues - women's bodies and women's rights - that are vitally contemporary. Our wide-ranging discussion covers some international writers and film-makers whose work listeners might not be familiar with so we thought we would list them here. Authors Ágota Kristóf - 1935 – 2011: Hungarian author The Notebook Trilogy and The Illiterate are available in translation Birgitta Trotzig 1929 – 1935: Swedish author Her work seems currently only available in Swedish or translated into French or Spanish. Fernanda Melchor (b.1982) Mexican: Paradais and Hurricane Season published by Fitzcarraldo Films The Wild Child - Francois Truffaut 1970 The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser Hans Werber Herzog 1974 The Knick - Steven Soderbergh (TV series) 2014-15 Hanna Nordenhök (Malmo, 1977) has been awarded several major literary honors for her work, both as novelist, poet and essayist. Her novel Caesaria (2020) scooped Swedish Radio's Literary Prize and was shortlisted for Vi's Literature Prize. Nordenhök also works as a translator from the Spanish and has been praised for her translations of Fernanda Melchor, Andrea Abreu and Alia Trabucco Zerán. Her last novel Wonderland (2023) was listed among the Best Books of the Year in Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet, Expressen, Borås Tidning, Hufvudstadsbladet and Magasinet ETC, as well as shortlisted for Vi's Literature Prize. Saskia Vogel is a writer and translator of over two-dozen Swedish-language books. Her novel Permission was published in five languages. She is a recipient the Berlin Senate grant for non- German literature, the Bernard Shaw Prize, two English PEN Translates Awards, and was a PEN America Translation Prize finalist. She was Princeton's Fall 2022 Translator in Residence. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she lives in Berlin. This episode was produced by Martin Nathan.

Cynthia Morahan reviews 'The Singularity' by Balsam Karam, translated by Saskia Vogel published by Text Publishing.
"Det finns böcker man skriver för andra", konstaterar en av romanfigurerna i Lina Wolffs "De polyglotta älskarna", "och så finns det böcker man skriver för sig själv". I romanen förekommer ett manus där sidorna är skrivna på olika språk, ibland flera språk på varje sida. I ett försök att se hur allt skulle kunna vara om det var annorlunda möttes översättarna Željka Černok och Saskia Vogel, som översatt Wolffs roman till kroatiska respektive engelska, för ett samtal under ledning av poeten och översättaren Adriana Aires Rastén, om romanens alla lager och hur kärleken till både människor och språk sipprar in i litteraturen. Samtalet hölls i Rum för översättning på Bokmässan i Göteborg 2023 och arrangerades av Kulturrådet.
Gespräch mit Saskia Vogel auf dem Prosanova über ihren Roman "Permission"
Continuing in our series on local history, in honor of the late Angela Romero, we sit down with Emma Rault, a writer, literary translator, a newbie to San Pedro and the originator of the petition that sparked a local movement to help Walkers Cafe be recognized as a local historical landmark. This past August Walkers Cafe was voted a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. Since Emma had only moved to San Pedro in 2019 you might wonder why someone so new to San Pedro would fight so hard to have one of its cherished local businesses preserved. In this episode Emma shares with us her many travels throughout Europe and the United States and why Walkers Cafe mattered so much to her, causing her to take action as soon as she heard it had closed its doors.

If I had to pick one word to summarise ‘Permission' by Saskia Vogel, it would be dreamy. In fact, it's the same word that Oprah Magazine used. And who’s going to disagree with Oprah Magazine? In March 2019, one of my favourite imprints, Dialogue Books, published Saskia's gorgeous debut novel, 'Permission' and it honestly took my breath away. It's a fantastic story that explores so many important and interesting topics: desire, grief, sex, love, dominance and pleasure. 'Permission’ follows Echo, a young actress in Los Angeles, who is devastated after losing her father in a horrible accident. With an emotionally distant mother and no close friends, Echo searches for solace in Orly, a dominatrix who lives across the street. Orly and Echo form the most beautiful relationship but it comes with strings - Orly has a roommate and ‘houseboy’ named Piggy who is very dedicated to Orly and his role in her life. The chapter’s alternative between Echo and Piggy point-of-view and Saskia does a brilliant job giving the reader all the beautiful details that we need and want to fall for Echo, Orly and Piggy. In fact, the characters are one of my favourite things about ‘Permission.’ The characters and that oh so sexy shower scene between Orly and Echo. I love love love this book and had the best time chatting with Saskia about her inspiration for ‘Permission’ and her characters, why Los Angeles had to be the setting for the book as well as what we need to do so we can finally erase the stigma around sexual fetishes. I really hope you enjoy this episode. Buy 'Permission' here: https://www.waterstones.com/book/permission/saskia-vogel/9780349700427

Riffing on Permission, Saskia Vogel's debut novel about love, loss, BDSM and the roles women play in the patriarchy, authors Lauren Elkin (Flâneuse, the forthcoming Art Monsters) and Stephanie La Cava (the forthcoming The Superrationals) joined Vogel for readings and conversation that explored the spaces women are relegated to and those they carve out for themselves, sexual expectations and transgressions, and the current landscape of art and literature from the perspective of three writers who explore the balance of power between the genders.
Episode 33 - On this week's episode, I end season one of the podcast with a little bit of self reflection, as I review some of the past episodes and some lessons learned. My guest on this episode is Saskia Vogel, a friend and a fabulous published author, who's debut novel, Permission, is both beautifully written, deeply vulnerable and explores themes around loneliness and sexuality. We unpack a lot about work life balance and how that has impacted some of our intimate relationships.
Saskia Vogelis the guest. Her debut novel, Permission, is available from Coach House Books. Vogel was born and raised in Los Angeles and now lives in its sister city, Berlin, where she works as a writer and Swedish-to-English literary translator. Previously she worked as Granta magazine’s global publicist and as an editor at the AVN Media Network, where she reported on pornography and adult pleasure products. She volunteers her time as the honorary secretary of SELTA and as part of the team that organizes Viva Erotica, an annual film festival in Helsinki that explores the art, history, and culture of sex on film.

Often, the way you treat sex in a book determines where it is shelved in the shop.If the sex is too exciting, or strays outside the usual fare your book could be moved to the Erotica section or even find itself excluded from your neighborhood bookshop.I have always found this fascinating, as no matter how violent your book is, or how graphic a murder your include, there isn't the same risk as with representing a wider range of sexual experiences. For this reason, I was eager to have Saskia Vogel on to discuss her novel, Permission, a novel that centers around a dominatrix and her world. This novel has been included in the literary fiction category, and rightly so, I believe.What does it mean to include sex, sexual experiences, and more fringe lifestyles in literature? How can you do this respectfully and promote a positive conversation on the topic? What is an author's responsibility when including life experiences that haven't been widely written about in literature before?Saskia and I went deep into this topic and I enjoyed the conversation so much. We honestly could have talked for another several hours, so I hope very much that we'll have the chance to have her on again to speak about this and other topics.I look forward to your thoughts and comments. The discussion continues in the show notes comments and on Twitter and Instagram, where I can be found at @carodonahue.

In the latest Granta podcast, Saskia Vogel speaks to Lina Wolff, a contributor to the Travel issue and author of the story collection 'Många människor dör som du' ('Many Pepole Die Like You') and the novel 'Bret Easton Ellis och de andra hundarna' ('Bret Easton Ellis and the Other Dogs'). Wolff writes in Swedish, and her story in the issue is based in Spain. Here she discusses the tension she felt between a ‘Spanishness’ and ‘Swedishness’, when writing and between a rational way of being and a magical way of thinking. She also discusses Lorca, Dante, literary travellers and their guides and the idea of irrationality and the artistic temperament. ‘I think in the beginning it was a crisis. I started to write because I felt the need to fit in, and not be an outsider... I have felt bound to an outsideness and an otherness.’ Image by Håkan Sandbring
In the latest Granta podcast, Saskia Vogel speaks to Sonia Faleiro, a contributor to the Travel issue and a reporter. Faleiro is the author of a book of fiction, The Girl, and one book of non-fiction, Beautiful Thing: Inside the Secret World of Bombay’s Dance Bars. She talks about how her gender influences her work and how she started out as a reporter. She also discusses the way we tell stories about women who use their bodies in to earn a living, Bombay’s complex sex industry and the idea of marginalized narratives. ‘How we perceive people eventually influences what rights we think they deserve to be given, when there is actually no question of endowing someone with rights; you either have them or you don’t.’
