Podcasts about sour heart

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT by Fyodor Dostoevsky / SOUR HEART by Jenny Zhang Sacre bleu! This week, Andrew digs into his first Dostoevsky—CRIME AND PUNISHMENT— while in Parisian quarantine. Plus, Bailey reviews SOUR HEART, a surprisingly lewd collection of short stories à clef. And of course, we learn how to feel shame in multiple languages. Raskolnikov!

Oh boy, we're tackling a BIG one this week! This week's guest is Mina Seçkin, whose novel THE FOUR HUMORS is a meandering and thoughtful exploration of family secrecy and cultural identity. Our main character, Sibel, is a college student visiting family in Turkey along with her white American boyfriend, and the pressures of adulthood and losing her father culminate in inexplicable headaches. Sibel becomes fascinated with the theory of the four bodily humors and ancient medicine, and slowly finds her way through not only this ancient field, but the covered-up ancient secrets of her own family. The book is compelling; equal parts coming of age and family saga, with the added texture of an at-times abrasive protagonist. Seçkin calls Arundhati Roy's THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS one of her all time favorite books, and together she and I discuss the remarkable prose of this novel, its Faulkner-esque experiments with time, and the deep understanding of childhood trauma. There is also the matter of explaining one's cultural background without overexplaining, defining an audience for your work, picking the ideal writing snacks, and so much more discussed in this episode. There are also many, many other book recommendations, in case your list needs growing. Books discussed: One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner, Gold Diggers by Sanjena Sathian, The Vietri Project by Nicola DeRobertis-Theye, Sour Heart by Jenny Zhang, Pizza Girl by Jean Kyoung Frazier Follow Mina on twitter @minaseckin and on instagram @littlebutta Follow the podcast on instagram and twitter @yfbpodcast

We met the charming Jenny Zhang in Ubud and cornered her for an interview about her first book of short stories, Sour Heart. This collection is set in the 90s and told from the point of view of little girls on the cusp of adolescence. Alongside the loss of innocence, experimenting with the world and living with an immigrant identity, her stories also show the ugly side of the American Dream and the generational gaps between families. Enjoy!

Sour Heart by Jenny Zhang (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/545731/sour-heart-by-jenny-zhang/9780399589409/) is a collection of short stories about Chinese immigrant families in 1980’s and 1990’s New York City. The stories are told from the perspectives of the daughter in each family, showcasing the challenges of immigration on marriages, parenting, cultural identity, and belonging. The stories closely mirrored Lin's own immigrant experience, which made the book touching and difficult to get through. In Gengoroh Tagame’s manga My Brother’s Husband (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/545416/my-brothers-husband-volume-1-by-gengoroh-tagame/9781101871515), single dad Yaichi receives an unexpected visit from his Canadian brother-in-law Mike. This occasions Yaichi’s revisioning of his relationship with his twin brother Ryoji, a backdrop for the book’s investigation of Japanese attitudes toward queerness and many descriptions of delicious meals. Question of the Episode: There are a lot of representations of “traditional” families in popular culture. What stories have you come across that challenge that notion of a “traditional" family? Join the conversation on Twitter at @World_ofStories or email us at worldofstoriespodcast@gmail.com. 

This week, Liberty discusses a few great older books, including Sour Heart. This week's episode was sponsored by True Story and the Read Harder journal.

The Riff Raff chat to Jenny Zhang, author of Sour Heart, about coming-of-age stories, writing complicated relationships and whether it's ever possible to hide autobiographical aspects from your work. Music: www.bensound.com.

We were joined by Jenny Zhang, the author of one of the most lauded débuts of the last year, the “gorgeous and grotesque” (Slate), Sour Heart.

Author Rebecca Makkai joins co-hosts Eric Newman, Medaya Ocher, and Kate Wolf to discuss her heralded new novel, The Great Believers, which tells two parallel and inter-related stories: one of the AIDS epidemic ravaging the Chicago gay community in the 1980s; the other, set in Paris in 2015, about a woman, Fiona, searching for her daughter, who has joined a cult. The connection is Fiona, who had become a caretaker for the men dying 30 years earlier in Chicago. Rebecca explains how she arrived at such a complex narrative structure (hint: it wasn't how the project started); as well as how she struggled with issues of cultural appropriation versus historical alliance. Also, Jenny Zhang, author of Sour Heart, returns to recommend the work of Tommy Pico, in particular his new book-length poem, Junk.

This week's podcast is another Doubleheader, featuring interviews with Carmen Maria Machado and Jenny Zhang recorded at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. First up, co-hosts Eric Newman, Kate Wolf, and Medaya Ocher speak with Carmen Maria Machado about her heralded collection, Her Body and Other Parties, an eclectic set of fictions that both revels in, and challenges, the standard tropes of a wide variety of genres. Carmen also drops hints about what to expect from her upcoming memoir. Then poet, essayist, and storyteller Jenny Zhang stops by to talk about her approach to writing Sour Heart, a collection of coming-of-age stories about the children of recent Chinese immigrants, which also won numerous prestigious awards this past year.

Praised as ingenious by The New Yorker for its “technical artistry with an unfettered emotional directness” Jenny Zhang’s debut short-story collection Sour Heart interrogates the immigrant experience in eight linked stories told from the perspective of a first-generation, Chinese-American girl living in New York, and was the first acquisition of Lena Dunham’s publishing imprint Lenny Books. It follows poetry, essays and the chapbook Hags, all of which have contributed to marking Zhang out as one of her generation’s most provocative voices. In conversation with Rosabel Tan.

Jenny Zhang was born in Shanghai, but raised in New York City. With a foot in each world, it's was often a challenge to find a community and keep one. This perspective runs through her brilliant debut collection of stories, Sour Heart. It was a book that caught the attention of Lena Dunham, who chased it to ensure it'd be the first book published on her new ‘Lenny' imprint. Seven stories, written over fifteen years cutting between public schools in Flushing, Queens to the streets of Shanghai. They're funny, heartfelt, sometimes obscene and like nothing I have ever read before. The stories aren't autobiographical per se, but capture the view of young Chinese-American girls growing up in New York City in the 90's. Over five songs Jenny shares teenage mixtapes, mall hangouts soundtracked by Spice Girls, and the beauty and connection of language. The Promise Ring - ‘Forget Me?' The Spice Girls - ‘Wannabe' Le Tigre - ‘The The Empty' Jay-Z - ‘This Can't Be Life {ft. Beanie Siegel and Scarface}' Cocteau Twins - ‘Heaven Or Las Vegas'

In the wake of pyjama-clad Hugh Hefner's demise, we discuss the legacy of Playboy and its nuances - and why viewing an empire created 64 years ago solely through the lense of modern feminism can be problematic. A must-read, incidentally, is Gloria Steinem's The Bunny's Tale. Also in today's episode, we discuss the demise of the celebrity interview. Are authentic journalistic profiles destined to become mere relics, in place of publicist-approved puff pieces? We can but wonder. ***** BIG NEWS: You can now book a ticket to the first ever* live* episode of The High Low!

The short stories in Jenny Zhang’s debut collection Sour Heart started out as separate tales, but soon the young author found herself in possession of the story of a community — told through  moments in the lives of Chinese-American children growing up in a New York City neighborhood.   Insightful and wry, ferocious and beautiful, these interlinking stories earned Sour Heart a spot in Barnes and Noble’s Discover Great New Writers program. In this episode, the author joins Miwa Messer to talk about her book, navigating family, and coming of age in America.

Author Jenny Zhang's new book “Sour Heart” links seven short stories about a community of Chinese immigrants living in contemporary New York City. The fictional narrators are all young girls who are navigating adolescence while becoming Americans. From the big sister who wants to be free of her close-knit family life to the young girl who fears speaking English in public, these small intimate stories represent big expressions of the hopes and fears of families trying to find home in a new country. Callie Crossley speaks with Jenny Zhang about “Sour Heart” -- our September selection for Bookmarked: The Under the Radar Book Club.

“In the whore economy, you’re constantly aware if you’re common or you’re rare.” If you enjoyed Tina's talk with Jenny Zhang in the Why Are People Into Fluids?! episode a few months back, then you'll love this Interrobang all about exclusion, meaningful cores, and Jenny's short story book Sour Heart (which comes out in August!) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

"I feel exposed by how wet I can be." Jenny Zhang's poetry is delightfully obscene, so it's no surprise she describes herself as "a very goopy person." In this episode, Tina and Jenny (the brilliant author of chapbooks, essays, and an upcoming book of short stories called Sour Heart) explore all the fluids the human body can produce, from spit to sweat to piss to cum. Along the way, they investigate the phenomenon of dirty panty sniffing, gushers candy, and the erotic potential of words like drained. Warning: this is one of the most visceral and frankly disgusting episodes of YAPIT! Jenny Zhang is the author of Dear Jenny, We Are All Find (Octopus Books), Hags (Guillotine), The Selected Jenny Zhang (Emily Books), and the forthcoming Sour Heart (Lenny). She was born in Shanghai and raised in Queens. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
