"The Friend" had its world premiere at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its performances from Naomi Watts, Bill Murray, and the Great Dane Bing, and the writing and direction from filmmakers Scott McGehee & David Siegel that made audiences laugh and cry. Based on the 2018 novel by Sigrid Nunez, the film tells the story of a New York City writer who reluctantly inherits a Great Dane named Apollo from her dearly departed friend but soon comes to realize it may be the best thing that's ever happened for her in order to move on from her grief. McGehee & Siegel were both kind enough to speak with me about their work on the film, which you can listen to below.

Sigrid Nunez, one of our most celebrated literary voices, joins Rhett for a conversation about writing, adaptation, and the creative process. She shares her experience of seeing her novels adapted for the screen and reflects on how film adaptations, much like cover songs, bring a new vision to a writer's work. The two discuss her writing process, transition to short stories, and the unofficial trilogy formed by her last three novels, including "The Vulnerables." Drawing wisdom from her career and the influences of writers like Toni Morrison and Virginia Woolf, she provides a candid look at what it takes to sustain a life in writing. When asked what advice she would give her 21-year-old self, her response is simple: keep writing.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is DR Shores, author of the book Shallow Stock. Raised on the Yorkshire coastline in the United Kingdom, D R Shores studied engineering prior to a twenty-five year career in business. Literature has always been a passion, with a taste ranging from Sigrid Nunez and Thomas Harris to established twentieth-century classics from Ernest Hemingway, Jean-Paul Sartre, Ayn Rand and Milan Kundera. Now living with his family and introverted dog in the east midlands area of England, his other interests include music, current affairs, volunteering and keeping fit.   In my book review, I stated Shallow Stock is a suspense thriller that will keep you reading well into the wee hours of the morning! I loved the story and the intricate plotlines. As an author, I was also intrigued by how all the threads came together in the end.   The story has a Hatfield and McCoy vibe. Two families are at 'war' and have been for several generations. They each own a competing corporation and work tirelessly to out do one another. Wynter McGlynn is the CEO of one. Julian Dayton is the CEO of the other. Both currently have issues holding onto their positions of power and see the other as their biggest obstacle. The competition is fierce, but is it fair? And what happens when the finger pointing starts?   From black tie balls to crooked politicians to a city-wide triathlon to human trafficking to board meetings to interesting family dynamics, this book will lead you down a road you won't want to miss. And even when you think you've gotten the very last surprise, Shores finds a way to offer you a tidbit more.

Una curiosa escritora se reencuentra con una amiga de la juventud que padece cáncer y accede a acompañarla durante este proceso en La habitación de al lado (2024), lo más nuevo del mítico Pedro Almodóvar, quien nos regala una sensible y bella adaptación de la novela Cuál es tu tormento de Sigrid Nunez para explorar la amistad íntima, los recuerdos, y el contraste entre la vida y la muerte. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 62nd New York Film Festival with author Sigrid Nunez. With her novels The Friend (winner of the 2018 National Book Award for Fiction) and What Are You Going Through, New York–based author Sigrid Nunez has supplied the extraordinarily rich source material for not one, but two films in the NYFF62 lineup: Scott McGehee and David Siegel's Spotlight standout The Friend, starring Naomi Watts as a writer mourning the complicated loss of a beloved mentor; and Pedro Almodóvar's Centerpiece selection The Room Next Door, which follows another writer (Julianne Moore) as she reconnects with a friend from her past (Tilda Swinton) who approaches her with an unusual request. We were honored to welcome Nunez for a special conversation about her prismatic literary meditations on grief, friendship, and the passage of time; the experience of seeing her creative work adapted into other mediums; and cinema's alchemical capacity to both translate and transform a novel's meaning. This conversation was moderated by A.O. Scott, critic at large for The New York Times Book Review. A New York Times Critic's Pick, Pedro Almodovar's The Room Next Door is now playing at FLC. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/room NYFF Free Talks are presented by HBO.

En "La habitación de al lado", dos amigas de juventud se reencuentran luego de mucho tiempo, cuando una de ellas está sufriendo una enfermedad muy delicada. Basada en una novela de la estadounidense Sigrid Nunez, la nueva obra de Almodóvar es su primer largometraje hablado en inglés, tras los cortos "La voz humana" con Tilda Swinton, y "Extraña forma de vida" con Ethan Hawke y Pedro Pascal. La propia Swinton y Julianne Moore dan vida a las protagonistas del filme, que ha entusiasmado a la crítica y al público y que obtuvo el León de Oro a mejor película en el Festival de Cine de Venecia.

Cuando su mejor amigo se suicida, no solo es la pérdida y terrible noticia lo que atormenta a su vida, sino el pequeño presente que el destino le quiso dar en esta etapa sin el; llega #elamigo de #sigridnunez a #libroclaroscuro

Hay algo increíble en las relaciones improbables: un noviazgo que no veías venir, una amistad, el lío de una noche. 'Los vulnerables', la nueva novela de la reputadísima escritora Sigrid Nunez, revela en apenas 200 páginas lo que sucede cuando un trío de perfectos desconocidos (la narradora, un joven y un loro) conviven en un apartamento de Nueva York durante el confinamiento. El joven se rumorea que es inestable. La narradora se siente al principio insegura, irritada, pero ambos terminan estrechando lazos. La novela aborda, por tanto, la necesidad de conexiones y también nuestro reciente trauma colectivo pandémico. Pero esta no es una novela sobre la pandemia, nos recuerda Nunez en 'Nota al Pie', sino una especie de tratado sobre todo lo que pasaba por nuestra mente durante el confinamiento.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo', confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo' desta sexta-feira (25/10/2024): Sob pressão dos aumentos de preços da energia elétrica e dos alimentos, a prévia da inflação oficial no País acelerou de 0,13%, em setembro, para 0,54% em outubro, segundo o Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo – 15 (IPCA-15), divulgado ontem pelo IBGE. O resultado fez a taxa acumulada em 12 meses voltar a subir, após dois meses seguidos de queda: de 4,12% para 4,47%, próxima ao teto da meta perseguida pelo Banco Central – que é de 3% no ano, com margem de tolerância de 1,5 ponto porcentual para mais ou para menos. Segundo analistas, houve piora em algumas das principais métricas qualitativas da inflação no período, o que tende a referendar a intensificação do ritmo de aperto monetário na próxima reunião do Comitê de Política Monetária (Copom) do BC, em novembro.

Lara Peters talks to actor Julianne Moore about her new film, The Room Next Door, in cinemas now. Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) were friends in their youth, going on to creative success – Ingrid as a novelist, and Martha as a war reporter – but separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, the pair reunite and rekindle their companionship in an extreme but strangely sweet situation, where Martha asks Ingrid to assist her with a complicated, deeply personal request. Pedro Almodóvar makes his English-language feature debut with The Room Next Door, adapting Sigrid Nunez's acclaimed novel ‘What Are You Going Through'.

Directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel, author Sigrid Nunez, and cast members Naomi Watts, Sarah Pidgeon, Carla Gugino, Noma Dumezweni, Constance Wu, Owen Teague, and Bing join NYFF62 programmer Florence Almozini to discuss The Friend, a Spotlight selection at the 62nd New York Film Festival. This deeply fulfilling adaptation of Nunez's beloved, slyly shape-shifting National Book Award winner features Naomi Watts as a novelist who finds her comfortable, solitary New York life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor (Bill Murray) commits suicide and bequeaths his beloved Great Dane to her.

This week, Jordan talks to the novelist Sigrid Nunez about her youthful preoccupation with mimicking the prose of Virginia Woolf, the step-by-step intuitive way she writes prose now, and the best way to make overnight oats.Sigrid Nunez has published nine novels, including A Feather on the Breath of God, The Last of Her Kind, The Friend, What Are You Going Through, and, most recently, The Vulnerables. Nunez is also the author of Sempre Susan: A Memoir of Susan Sontag. The Friend, a New York Times bestseller, won the 2018 National Book Award and was a finalist for the 2019 Simpson/Joyce Carol Oates Prize. In 2024, The New York Times listed The Friend among the 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. The Friend has been adapted for film by directors David Siegel and Scott McGehee (2024). What Are You Going Through has been adapted for a film directed by Pedro Almodóvar, The Room Next Door (2024). Nunez's other honors and awards include a Whiting Award, a Berlin Prize Fellowship, the Rosenthal Family Foundation Award, the Rome Prize in Literature, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Venezia 2024: I denne andre festivalepisoden fra Lido ser vi nærmere på to titler fra hovedkonkurransen, Queer og The Room Next Door, fra henholdsvis Luca Guadagnino og Pedro Almodóvar. To store auteurer innen skeiv film som har nye filmer i Venezia, og begge baserer seg på litterære forelegg. Med Queer forsøker Luca Guadagnino å gi liv til forfatter William S. Burroughs' kortroman ved samme navn (publisert i 1985), ikke ulikt hvordan David Cronenberg i 1991 forsøkte å adaptere Naked Lunch. Nesten hele Queer er spilt inn i det legendariske, italienske studioet Cinecittà, noe som skaper et distinkt, kunstig uttrykk. Selv om filmen inneholder lange, eksplisitte sexscener, er den også påtagelig distansert. Men hva skjer når Guadagnino og rollefigurene, med Daniel Craigs Lee i spissen, går seg vill i jungelen, på jakt etter sanseutvidende sopp? Havner han utenfor komfortsonen? Pedro Almodóvar er bokstavelig talt utenfor komfortsonen i The Room Next Door, hans første engelskspråklige langfilm, med Julianne Moore og Tilda Swinton i hovedrollene. Til å begynne med virker produksjonen skranglete og lockdown-aktig, men straks vi skjønner at filmen (basert på Sigrid Nunez' roman What Are You Going Through) skal diskutere assistert selvmord på en åpen og humoristisk måte, trekkes vi inn i de utsøkt dekorerte værelsene. Ved mikrofonene sitter Mads Outzen, Ragnhild Pedersen og Lars Ole Kristiansen. God lytting!

Sigrid Nunez reads her story “Greensleeves,” from the September 9, 2024, issue of the magazine. Nunez is the author of a memoir and nine novels, including “The Friend,” which won the National Book Award in 2018, and “The Vulnerables,” which was published last year.

Der Hund in der Literatur - An der Leine und unterm Schreibtisch Ob Homer, Thomas Mann, Ernst Jandl, Monika Maron oder Sigrid Nunez – seitdem es Literatur gibt, schreiben Schriftsteller und Schriftstellerinnen über Hunde. Dabei wird er zum Liebesobjekt und Stimmungsbarometer, Gefährten, Beschützer oder auch Angstmacher. Zu wohl keinem anderen Tier hat der Mensch ein so enges Verhältnis wie zum Hund. Das ist bei einem Spaziergang durch den Park ebenso zu sehen wie in der Literatur. Die Deutsche Dogge ist viel zu groß für das Appartement im Roman "Der Freund" von Sigrid Nunez, die struppige Mischlingshündin hingegen viel zu klein in der Erzählung "Bonnie Propeller" von Monika Maron. Ist dem Menschen ewig denn nichts recht? Von Manuela Reichart Regie: Beatrix Ackers Redaktion: Joachim Dicks Produktion: Deutschlandfunk Kultur 2021

Virginie Bloch-Lainé "Profils perdus" (Stock)« Jean-Michel : ce seul prénom m'évoque un attelage de chaleur, de réconfort, de délicatesse et de catastrophes par lui voulues et déclenchées. Il était l'être le plus rassurant et le plus inquiétant qui soit, puissance comique et tristesse ambulantes, modestie et charisme, élan communicatif et fertile, mais aussi rage stérile et effarante. Nous avons découvert à sa mort que sur sa fiche d'état civil, son prénom était simplement Jean. Michel venait ensuite. Quoi qu'il en soit, Jean m'a paru trop simple, trop épuré pour quelqu'un comme lui. »Le père de l'auteure était-il l'homme idéal ? Comment en faire le deuil ? Ou serait-ce un leurre ? Quels seraient les effets de toute comparaison entre n'importe quel homme à venir et Jean-Michel ? Jamais à la hauteur, ou jamais tout à fait le bon ?« Je préfère me débrouiller mal mais seule. Je suis nulle en hommes, même si je les aime », écrit Virginie Bloch-Lainé, dont le talent de portraitiste lucide s‘applique autant aux autres – un philosophe mé-contemporain, un urgentiste hyperactif, un historien mélancolique, un oncle médecin anticonformiste, tous composent une galerie de proches qui esquissent les contours d'un homme — qu'à elle-même.Dans ce livre subtil, hors genres, d'une totale liberté qui évoque L'ami de Sigrid Nunez, il y a une tendresse du cœur, une intelligence des livres cités, mais il y a surtout une exactitude de l'œil : la saga familiale des Bloch-Lainé s'élargit jusqu'à nous raconter aussi une certaine France.Musique : "Le prince des villes" de Michel Berger"L'Addition" chantée par Yves Montand.

Anna and Annie discuss the inaugural Women's Prize for Non-Fiction longlist, including Anna Funder's Wifedom. Our book of the week is THE VULNERABLES by Sigrid Nunez. This is the third in a loose trilogy after THE FRIEND and WHAT ARE YOU GOING THROUGH. A writer, a college drop-out and a talking parrot share an apartment in New York during the Covid pandemic.  This is subtler than the first two books but we loved the mix of story and Nunez's reflections on life and writing.   Coming up: our Crime reading recommendations.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents two stories about the course of true love, from two very different perspectives. Sigrid Nunez explores a roller-coaster romance in a small town in “This Is It,” performed by Christina Pickles, and Simon Rich offers up Stone-Age love and humor in a small cave in “I Love Girl.” It's performed by Michael Ian Black, who also chats with Wolitzer about what he's been reading and the tricky business of being funny. 

Beth Golay recently spoke with "The Vulnerables" author Sigrid Nunez about the autobiographical aspects that emerge in her novels, her extensive literary references, and more.

Today's episode finds two renowned authors who found solace in writing characters navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. First, NPR's Leila Fadel spoke with Sigrid Nunez about The Vulnerables, which follows a woman, a parrot, and a Gen Z college student unexpectedly taking care of another during lockdown in New York. Then, Michael Cunningham tells NPR's Scott Simon about Day, which chronicles three days — spread out over three years — in the life of a Brooklyn family, and how isolation and companionship changes them over that time.

WARNING: This discussion deals with suicide. Sigrid Nunez's eighth title, The Friend, won the 2018 U.S. National Book Award. Hailed as "a subtle, unassuming masterpiece," it follows a woman grieving the death of her friend as she cares for his 180-pound Great Dane. Nunez followed it with What Are You Going Through, which was named a New York Times Critics' Top Book of 2020. Her new novel, The Vulnerables, takes place during the early days of Covid lockdown. *This interview originally aired on May 30, 2021.

Ash Davida Jane reviews The Vulnerables by Sigrid Nunez published by Hachette

Sigrid Nunez won the 2018 National Book Award for The Friend, a ''beautiful'' novel ''crammed with a world of insight into death, grief, art, and love'' (The Wall Street Journal) in which a woman is forced to adopt her deceased best friend's Great Dane. The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Berlin Prize, the Rome Prize in Literature, and a Whiting Award, she is also the author of What Are You Going Through, Salvation City, The Last of Her Kind, A Feather on the Breath of God, and Sempre Susan, a memoir about her friend and mentor Susan Sontag. In The Vulnerables, Nunez offers a comic and elegiac study of a solitary female narrator who ponders questions of connection in our time of collective angst. A ''slim jewel of a novel'' that is ''what fiction should be'' (The New York Times Book Review), Henry Hoke's Open Throat follows the surreal Hollywood Hills wanderings of a lonely and inadvertently wise mountain lion grappling with desperate hunger, the intricacies of gender, and the challenges of urban living. Hoke is also the author of four other books, including a memoir titled Sticker, and his play At Sundown premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. His other work has appeared in No Tokens, Triangle House, Electric Literature, Carve, and the flash noir anthology Tiny Crimes. Co-creator of the Los Angeles-based Enter>text performance series and the humor editor at The Offing, he has taught at CalArts and the UVA Young Writers Workshop.
