Published to coincide with the poet's 85th birthday, Ash Keys (Jonathan Cape) presents a new selection of Longley's finest works. Born in Belfast in 1939, his verse inhabits the landscapes Ireland's west, at the same time occupying a space within a distinctly European tradition, ranging freely across the continent's histories, tragedies and triumphs. 'One of the most perfect poets alive,' writes Sebastian Barry. ‘There is something in his work both ancient and modern. I read him as I might check the sky for stars.'Michael Longley was joined for this reading and discussion by fellow poet Declan Ryan, whose most recent collection Crisis Actor is published by Faber.Get the book: https://lrb.me/ashkeyspodFind more events at the Bookshop: https://lrb.m/eventspod Hosted on Acast.

Cześć! W tym odcinku ubędziemy Was zachęcać do przeczytania czterech książek, których narratorki i bohaterzy próbują przyciągnąć naszą uwagę na różny sposób: czy to krzykiem, czy to szeptem, a nawet milczeniem. Za krzyk odpowiadają Dahlia de la Cerda i Cristina Morales. Jedna zabiera nas na pełne hałasu ulice Meksyku, a druga zaprasza do Barcelony, po której nawigują cztery kobiety z niepełnosprawnością. Będzie muzycznie, tanecznie, głośno, odważnie i przerażająco. Później posłuchamy szeptu bohaterki książki Sebastiana Barry'ego. To będzie cichy głos, który próbuje skonfrontować się z przeszłością, tą wielką, światową, i tą mniejszą, prywatną. Na koniec będzie o milczeniu między dwójką bohaterów w powieści Carla Frodego Tillera, która to książka pokieruje naszą rozmową w stronę banałów i dźwięków fortepianu. Książki, o których mówimy w podkaście: Dahlia de la Cerda, „Wściekłe suki”, tłum. Katarzyna Okrasko, Filtry; Cristina Morales, „Lektura uproszczona”, tłum.

Cześć! W tym odcinku porozmawiamy sobie o człowieczeństwie, a raczej o jego braku i dehumanizacji, jakiej doświadczają różne grupy w wyniku takich sił jak kolonializm czy rasizm. Zaczniemy od świetnych esejów Svena Lindqvista, który, syntetyzując różne treści i materiały, śledzi rozwój idei pełnych uprzedzeń i nienawiści. Przyglądając się historycznym przypadkom ludobójstwa, nietrudno jest zauważyć, jak podobne wydarzenia mają miejsce także dzisiaj. W drugiej części odcinka przechodzimy do opowiedzianej pięknym językiem książki Sebastiana Barry'ego. Jej akcja dzieje się w granicznym, rozdartym przez wojnę stanie Tennessee, gdzie na pewnej farmie mieszkają obok siebie różni ludzie, o różnej historii i różnych doświadczeniach. Narratorka Winona szuka dla siebie miejsca, a także szuka człowieczeństwa w tych trudnych czasach, kiedy definicja sprawiedliwości co chwila się zmienia. Książki, o których mówimy w podkaście: Sven Lindqvist, „Wytępić całe to bydło. Wyprawa do źródeł kolonialnego terroru i ludobójstwa”, tłum Irena Kowadło-Przedmojska i Milena Haykowska, W.A.B.; Sebastian Barry, „Tysiąc księżyców”, tłum. Krzysztof Cieślik, wydawnictwo ArtRage.

The former laureate for Irish fiction, Sebastian Barry writes richly invented stories inspired by people in his own family – from his grandfather in the 2014 novel, The Temporary Gentleman, to Days Without End about his grandfather's uncle. His latest novel, Old God's Time, is on the longlist for this year's Booker Prize. Eleanor Wachtel has spoken to Barry many times over the years, starting in 2008 with his novel The Secret Scripture, about a 100-year-old woman forcibly confined to a psychiatric hospital. *This episode originally aired Oct. 19, 2008.
Have you ever noticed that when it comes to great writers, Ireland seems to have had more than its fair share? Maybe it's the difficult history, or the never ending pride for their beautiful island, but Ireland seems to be a country rife with storytellers. This week we have an Irish writer who has been nominated for the Booker Prize more than once…Sebastian Barry! His latest, Old God's Time, is a lyrical and sprawling tale of Ireland and one man's desperate struggle to make peace with the past. Pull up a chair by the fire and talk literature with a truly great Irish author, you will be glad you did.

Dwie znakomite powieści ukazują się w polskim przekładzie we wrześniu, a my w tym odcinku literackiego Raportu gościmy ich autorów. Pierwszy to Joshua Cohen i jego nagrodzona Pulitzerem „Rodzina Netanjahu. Wspomnienie przelotnego, a w ogólnym rozrachunku zupełnie nieistotnego zdarzenia w historii sławnej familii”. Jak w jednej powieści połączyć slapstickową komedię z akademickim wykładem, a z tego zderzenia wysnuć głęboką refleksję o naturze historii, tożsamości i żydowskiej diasporze? Widzą to tylko najwięksi, a Joshua Cohen niewątpliwie do nich należy. Sebastian Barry – wielokrotnie, także w tym roku – nominowany do Nagrody Bookera irlandzki pisarz w powieści „Tysiąc księżyców” opowiada o losach młodej Indianki, która po rzezi całej swojej rodziny zostaje adoptowana przez dwóch weteranów wojny secesyjnej. To historia o miłości, przemocy, rodzinie i odwadze, a także o irlandzkiej diasporze w połowie XIX wieku. Sebastian Barry buduje zaskakujące analogie między doświadczeniem Irlandczyków uciekających przed głodem do Ameryki a losem rdzennych mieszkańców tej ziemi. Do tego rozmowy z autorami przekładów — Agą Zano i Krzysztofem Cieślikiem, a także fragmenty obu powieści w interpretacji Olgi Sarzyńskiej.

Irma and Karen chat about the impact of AI technologies on authors. Then Irma chats with Chris Flynn about exactly how Bookscan works and how he uses the data to monitor his own sales and make decisions about where to invest time with publicity, why publishing is operating on an outdated business model and how it should change, how to organise a book tour yourself, the ways in which both Ireland and Australia have impacted him as a writer, the challenges of writing humorous literary fiction, an unexpected encounter with Sebastian Barry, and how he is banishing self-doubt.

Margaret Heffernan explores how art can help us deal with uncertainty in our lives. How do artists begin a new project? The point is to be open to the world, and to have 'an eye that is always watching'. Modern life feels increasingly uncertain, to the point of making us uncomfortable. Most people hate uncertainty. We feel calmer knowing something bad is definitely coming (say, an electric shock) than when there's a possibility we might escape it. New technology sometimes seems to have the goal of eliminating uncertainty, but is this really desirable? Margaret argues that an element of uncertainty is a necessary part of the creative process, a catalyst which can help us find ways of meeting the challenges of the future. Artists deal with uncertainty all the time: starting work nobody asked for, rarely sure where the work will go, when it's finished or whether it will connect with a public. This can be deeply frightening: Tracey Emin sketches before having enough courage to paint; Sebastian Barry fears the next word won't come. To the frequent dismay of fans, artists change direction before they have to. They have agency, independence, but they take a risk each time they begin. Margaret Heffernan is a writer and entrepreneur, author of the award-winning 'Uncharted: How to Map the Future'. Here, she takes inspiration from artists who embrace uncertainty. Producer: Mary Ward-Lowery

To the frequent dismay of fans, artists change direction before they have to. They have agency, independence, but they take a risk each time they begin. We love their work because it shows a truth we avoid. We want evidence for every decision, proof that our project will be successful before it starts, ratings, sales numbers and prizes to prove our worth. Data to promise certainty before we dare try anything. But maybe this craving for certainty constrains our imagination and leaves us passive, because there are no datasets from the future. Perhaps an addiction to certainty suppresses our capacity for exploration and discovery in ourselves and in the world. Margaret Heffernan is a writer and entrepreneur.

In her conversation with Charles Armstrong, Vivienne Roche talks about being a sculptor first; the influence of her father and the language of engineering on her work; sculpture's potential for abstraction and her interest in architecture; working with the hidden archeology of a site and the research this involves; the importance of space, materiality and social context in her sculptures; and her collaborations with Sebastian Barry and Derek Mahon, in particular the Lighthouse project.

If, as displeased reviewers and readers sometimes complain, coincidences mar good plots, why do so many novels turn on them? From Charlotte Brontë and George Eliot, to Sebastian Barry and David Nicholls, novelists have relied on coincidences. While these can reveal the weaknesses of a novel's design, they can also be put to creative use: as we will see, novelists, like Charles Dickens, Evelyn Waugh and Muriel Spark, choose to emphasise coincidences, making them entertaining and revealing.A lecture by John MullanThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/coincidencesGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
