Elizabeth Strout har etablert seg som en av den amerikanske samtidslitteraturens mest egenartede stemmer, elsket av lesere og kritikere. Det internasjonale gjennombruddet kom med romanen Olive Kitteridge, som Strout vant Pulitzerprisen for i 2009, og som også ble adaptert til en prisbelønt miniserie. Siden har hun skrevet fire bøker i Lucy Barton-serien, Jeg heter Lucy Barton, Hva som helst er mulig, Åh, William! og Lucy ved havet, alle oversatt av Hilde Rød-Larsen.Romanene om Lucy forteller om utsatthet, fattigdom, sorg og barndomstraumer – men også om verdien av håp, kunst og kjærlighet. Lucy vokser opp i en fattig og dysfunksjonell familie på landsbygda i Illinois, men klarer å bli forfatter mot alle odds. Romanene sirkler inn småbylivet og ulike epoker i Lucys liv, fra den langsomme oppvåkningen mot å bli forfatter, en som forteller, en som gir mening til verden med ord.Det er i det stillferdige, hverdagslige livet at de store dramaene utspiller seg i Strout sine romaner og noveller, med dybde, varme og kompleksitet skildres vanlige folks følelsesliv, samtidig som hun har et skarpt blikk for større samfunnsstrukturer og systemer som mennesket bevisst og ubevisst inngår i.Strout møter forfatter Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold til samtale om felleskap, familie og forandring.Samtalen foregår på engelsk.

Elizabeth Strout is one of the most distinct voices in contemporary American literature, and beloved by readers and critics alike. Her international breakthrough came with the novel Olive Kitteridge, which earned her the 2009 Pulitzer Prize, and which was later adapted into the award winning mini series of the same name. Since then, she has written four books in her Lucy Barton series; My Name Is Lucy Barton, Anything Is Possible, Oh, William! and Lucy by the Sea.Her Lucy novels tell stories about exposedness, poverty, grief and childhood trauma, but also about the value of hope, art and love. Lucy grows up in a poor and dysfunctional family in the Illinois countryside and becomes a writer against all odds. Through her village upbringing and different periods in Lucy's life, the novels depicts her slow awakening as a writer, someone who tells stories, who gives the world meaning through language.In Strout's novels and short stories, the great drama unfolds within unassuming everyday life. The emotional lives of ordinary people are portrayed with depth, warmth and complexity, while she simultaneously shows a keen eye for the larger societal structures and systems of which we, consciously or unconsciously, are part.At the House of Literature, Strout is joined by writer Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold for a conversation about family, community and change.

Tore Aune Fjellstad, Mirjam Kristensen og Katrine Tveito møtes i studio for å snakke om ei god bok de har lest i det siste. Bøkene vi snakker om i denne gang er "Syke søster" av Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold, "August blue" av Deborah Levy og "Shy" av Max Porter.

En ung kvinne serverer byens løse fugler på den brune puben. En mann kjører gjennom skogene med to jenter i baksetet. En ung mann oppsøker søsterens morder i fengsel. En kvinne får tre inn i et hemmelig selskap, men snart rammer krisen den ærverdige høyborgen.I Sara Stridsbergs nyeste utgivelse, Hunter i Huskvarna, får vi elleve noveller som spenner fra realistiske til eventyrlige, alle i Stridsbergs poetiske, skinnende språk. Hovedpersonene er oftest unge jenter eller kvinner, og novellene preges av Stridsbergs varme og blikk for dem som befinner seg i utkanten av samfunnet.Sara Stridsberg er en av våre fremste nordiske samtidsforfattere. Hun står bak kritikerroste romaner, noveller og skuespill som Drømmefakultetet, Medealand og Kjærlighetens antarktis, og har blant annet fått Nordisk Råds litteraturpris, Doblougprisen og Aftonbladets litteraturpris.Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold har lenge fulgt Stridsbergs forfatterskap. Nå møtes de to til samtale om dem som faller utenfor, om barndom, tap, makt og vold. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sind Mutterschaft und Selbstbestimmung unvereinbare Gegensätze? Mit welchen gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen sind Mütter konfrontiert? Und ist Autonomie überhaupt ein wesentliches Kriterium für ein gelungenes Leben? In dieser Folge von »Suhrkamp espresso« stellen wir Ihnen vier Bücher zum Thema Mutterschaft und Selbstbestimmung vor. In ihrem Buch »Lebenswerk« dokumentiert Rachel Cusk das erste Jahr ihres Lebens als Mutter. Ehrlich und unsentimental schildert sie den Übergang aus einem geordneten, selbstbestimmten Leben zum mitunter überfordernden Chaos, das sie mit einer neugeborenen Tochter erlebt. Das Buch, das bereits 2001 erschien und zum Klassiker der »Regretting Motherhood«-Debatte wurde, liegt endlich auch in deutschsprachiger Übersetzung vor. Elena Ferrante erzählt in ihrem Roman »Frau im Dunkeln« von einer Professorin und Mutter, die ihre Selbstbestimmung nach dem Auszug ihrer Töchter zurückerlangt hat. Im Urlaub stiehlt sie einem kleinen Mädchen die Puppe – und sorgt damit für zunehmendes Chaos am Strand. Die Autorin der Neapolitanischen Saga hinterfragt in ihrem Roman konventionelle Mutterbilder und gibt den widersprüchlichen Gefühlen ihrer Figuren Raum. Beate Rössler nähert sich dem Thema »Autonomie« auf philosophische Weise: Für sie sind Selbstbestimmtheit und das Verfolgen eigener Ziele Grundstein für ein erfülltes Leben – auch wenn das bedeutet, dass man nicht immer ans Ziel kommen kann. Maria-Christina Piwowarski, Buchhändlerin in der Berliner Buchhandlung »ocelot, not just another bookstore«, stellt außerdem den Roman »Meine Gedanken stehen unter einem Baum und sehen in die Krone« vor. Das Buch der Norwegerin Kjersti A. Skomsvold ist bei Hoffmann und Campe erschienen und erzählt von einer Mutter, die zu begreifen versucht, ob Mutterschaft und Schriftstellerei vereinbar sein können. Alle Bücher der Folge im Überblick:

Dag Solstad er en av våre beste og mest respekterte forfattere. Det har gått 54 år siden han debuterte med novellesamlingen Spiraler og i høst overrasket han alle med å komme med tredje, og siste roman om Bjørn Hansen, den tidligere kemneren fra Kongsberg. Boka er møtt med stor begeistring fra en rekke av våre anmeldere. I løpet av sitt forfatterskap har Solstad blitt tildelt en lang rekke priser, blant disse Brageprisens hederspris og Nordisk råds Litteraturpris, samt norsk Litteraturkritikerlags litteraturpris hele tre ganger. Onsdag 9. oktober møtte Dag Solstad en full sal på Litteraturhuset for å snakke om sin siste roman, om sitt forfatterskap, om hvordan han skriver og hvordan han tenker om det å skrive - og ikke minst om hvor lettet han ble da han oppdaget at Bjørn Hansen kunne jo drikke te av en bolle. I denne episoden kan du høre Dag Solstad i en samtale med kollega Kjersti Skomsvold.   Litteraturhusets podkast presenterer bearbeidede versjoner av samtaler og foredrag i regi av Stiftelsen Litteraturhuset.

Although this episode isn't as funny as last week's discussion of "lay-down Sally," it does get into some of Brian's neuroses about his forthcoming book, which is entertaining. They talk a lot about Skomsvold's humor, about the creepy ways in which various photographers and interviewers treat her as a young female artist, and the bit where John O'Brien of Dalkey Archive Press makes an appearance. Focusing on aftermath of the publication of her novel The Faster I Walk, the Smaller I Am, "East of the River" is one of the most compelling sections of Monsterhuman and can be read on it's own. Even if you haven't read it, you'll definitely enjoy this podcast. Only three episodes left!

One of the funniest TMR episodes in weeks, Chad and Brian crack each other up over writerly anxieties, the sharp wit Kjersti displays in this section, the White Claw Phenomenon, writer vs. author vs. journaler, Kjersti's distain for bad poetry (and TV) about chronic fatigue syndrome, pop culture references from the early-1990s, and much much more. They do also talk quite a bit about the book itself, how Skomsvold is creating a sort of narrative consciousness, the evolution of the book's voice (in lieu of a strong forward-moving plot), and other craft elements.

The new season of the Two Month Review starts here! Through the end of September we'll be discussing Kjersti Skomsvold's Monsterhuman, translated from the Norwegian by Becky L. Crook. Marius Hjeldnes from Cappelen Damm joins Chad and Brian to provide a bit of background on Skomsvold, on trends in Norwegian literature, on that whole "dice" thing, and much more. They cover the first three sections of the book, laying out the main themes and ideas that set-up this novel about a young woman suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, trying to rebuild her sense of self by becoming a writer. An incredibly interesting, episodic novel that you should be able to dive into, even if you don't read every page.

The new season of the Two Month Review starts here! Through the end of September we'll be discussing Kjersti Skomsvold's Monsterhuman, translated from the Norwegian by Becky L. Crook. Marius Hjeldnes from Cappelen Damm joins Chad and Brian to provide a bit of background on Skomsvold, on trends in Norwegian literature, on that whole "dice" thing, and much more. They cover the first three sections of the book, laying out the main themes and ideas that set-up this novel about a young woman suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, trying to rebuild her sense of self by becoming a writer. An incredibly interesting, episodic novel that you should be able to dive into, even if you don't read every page.

Hvordan er det å kjenne et annet menneske vokse inne i seg? Å oppleve et nytt liv ta form – både i form av barnet som kommer, og i det at ens egen hverdag endres? Hva består et foreldreskap i? I Mikkel Bugges roman Du er ny møter vi et ungt par som får barn etter kort tids forhold, og ting tyder på at i hvert fall ikke kvinnen i forholdet er klar for det. Kjersti A. Skomsvold nye bok heter Barnet; der en mor skriver henvendt til sitt nyfødte barn. Det handler om rammene barnet er født inn i: om morens og farens liv før de ble sammen, om premissene for deres kjærlighetshistorie og om et selvmord i umiddelbar nærhet som aldri slutter å gjøre vondt. Hør Bugge og Skomsvold i samtale med litteraturkritiker Cathrine Strøm om mini-livene som forandrer alt. Samtalen fant sted på Litteraturhuset 5. september 2018.   Litteraturhusets podkast presenterer bearbeidede versjoner av samtaler og foredrag i regi av Stiftelsen Litteraturhuset. Musikk av Apothek.

Naja Marie Aidt ble i 2008 tildelt Nordisk råds litteraturpris for novellesamlingen Bavian. Med romandebuten Stein saks papir fra 2012 bekreftet hun sin posisjon som en av Skandinavias fremste forfattere. Da sønnen døde, opplevde Aidt at språket hennes ble borte. Hennes siste utgivelse, som er oversatt til norsk av Trude Marstein, starter da også ut i den altomfattende sorgens språkløshet. I Har døden tatt noe fra deg så gi det tilbake motsetter Aidt seg ideen om at sorg er noe man kan jobbe seg gjennom. Det finnes bare et før og et nå – ingen ambisjoner om at sorgen over sønnen er noe hun kan gjøre seg ferdig med. Hør Aidt i samtale med forfatterkollega Kjersti A. Skomsvold. Arrangementet fant sted på 28. mai 2018.   Litteraturhusets podkast presenterer bearbeidede versjoner av samtaler og foredrag i regi av Stiftelsen Litteraturhuset. Musikk av Apothek.

Vi starter med å bryte regelen om at man aldri skal snakke om hvordan man har sovet i Salongen i dag. Forfatter Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold skriver nemlig mye om søvnløshet, og de skremmende tankene som dukker opp om natten og som man noen ganger lurer på om er virkelig eller ikke, men å skrive noe om å sove bra det er umulig. Salonghistorien til Maia Siverts handler om et altoppslukende vennskap, og dette temaet er sterkt til stede i den nye boken til Kjersti også. Det å plutselig bli noe annet og noe mer i et nytt blikk. Det å kunne oppdage at "jeg er faktisk morsom jeg, bare man møter de rette menneskene." I samtalen lurer også Skomsvold på om det er mulig å skrive om fødsel og om sorgen etter et selvmord i samme bok.

With most community college students hoping to transfer to a four-year college, statistics show that most don’t transfer and only half of those who do, finish. The Kaplan Educational Foundation, headed by Nancy Lee Sanchez, is working to help community college students transfer successfully to universities and earn bachelor's degrees. Interview with Nancy Lee Sánchez, the Executive Director of Kaplan Educational Foundation. The following is the pre-interview with Nancy Lee Sánchez. Be sure to watch the recorded interview above. What is the problem you solve and how do you solve it? Problem: 81% of first-time beginning community college students from the bottom income quartile aspire to complete a bachelor’s degree, but only 21% transfer to four year institutions within 5 years, and only 10% attain a bachelor’s degree. (Horn & Skomsvold (2011); Shapiro et al. (2013)). Bachelor’s degree holders earn 31% more than those with an associate’s degree and 84% more than those with just a high school diploma. (Carnevale, Rose, and Cheah, 2011). Check out my free webinar where I share the secrets of successful nonprofit crowdfunding at http://crowdfundingforsocialgood.org.
