Journalist and author Juan Gomez-Jurado is one of Spain's most successful contemporary writers. 

Esta semana, con motivo de la reciente publicación de En agosto nove vemos, de Gabriel García Márquez, repasamos algunas obras póstumas de autores como Franz Kafka y Steig Larsson.

Pascal Engman is the bestselling Swedish novelist of his generation, called 'the next Steig Larsson'. He has sold plenty of books around the world, and they're now being published in the UK. His new one is 'Femicide, it looks at 'incel' culture. Involuntary celebates who hate women, and what happens when they switch off their laptops and do something about it in real life. We chat about completely different parts of the world he writes in, and how much pressure he puts on 9 months of his year to try and write a book in the last 3. Also, you can hear why he tries to make his first draft as perfect as possible, because he hates editing so much. We chat about why he wants to entertain and teach in his novels, and how much he thinks about the international audience when he's writing... particularly the jokes. You can hear about the original blueprint for the novel and how much it changes, how he deals with time away from writing, and what his favourite font is.You can support the show at patreon.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

Did a Swedish Book released in 2008 really need 2 films based on the same novel released just 2 years apart, both based in Sweden but one in Swedish and one in English?  That's the question we ask as we look extensively at the 2011 English language Daniel Craig fronted version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  Join your favourite transatlantic podcasting duo - Ian & Liam – as we take a look at a film that Sony had very big hopes for but never continued with the planned trilogy despite critical acclaim.  We're joined by our Ellie is in fact-check corner.  It's a wintery 23rd episode as we discuss:Why wasn't there more focus drawn to Lisbeth's titular dragon tattoo?The differences between the Swedish Film's 3 act structure and the American film's 5 Act Structure?Whether having an elaborate Bond-like title sequence was a good idea considering the film's leading man was the current 007Which of Rooney Mara's aesthetic changes were undertaken by the American actress and which were pretendThe harrowing inspiration for the story itself in the mind of the author, Steig Larsson.Who was so close to getting the part of Lisbeth, and why did director David Fincher ultimately decide not to cast her.Who had a chance meeting with the film crew and managed to get herself in the film, and what is her connection to the original film?Which actor/actress was so disturbed by filming one of the more extreme scenes that they spent the whole next day crying in their hotel room.Whether The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is the Best Film Ever.

Swedish prosecutors have named Stig Engstrom as Palme's assassin. It's taken 34 years of mystery, conspiracy and botched investigations in which 130 different people claimed to be the assassin since 1986 to reach a conclusion. Engstrom himself claimed to have tried to resuscitate Palme at the scene. The assassin attempting to revive the man he had just assassinated ! A comedy of errors. Enter renowned Swedish crime fiction author Steig Larsson who mounted his own investigation of the killing which the Swedish police took seriously. The improbable twists and turns of the JFK conspiracy look like child's play as compared to the Palme assassination ! #OlofPalme #ConspiracyTheories #SAPO #BOSS #SwedishRightWing --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/james-herlihy/message

Martin and Steig Larsson's Millennium series (which we discuss), to Brent Weeks and Charles Dickens!

What's up everybody? We're back with a brand new 53rd episode of the only podcast on the Internet. On this episode of Topicocalypse, Josh saw the trailer for The Girl in the Spider's Web, and he isn't happy. For those of you who are familiar with the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo novels by Steig Larsson, you know that Lisbeth Salander is one of the most badass characters to ever grace the pages of a novel or the big screen. However, the latest film in the series as produced by Sony called The Girl in the Spider's Web has taken her character and not only butchered the novel, but made her into something she was never intended to be, a Swedish batman. So this leads Josh to ask the question, is Hollywood butchering great stories for the sake of a social agenda? After all, Lisbeth Salander is already a prevelant character without being turned into a hyper violent vigilante against men. What do you think?

Site: http://www.audiobooks.com/podcast  | Email: podcast@audiobooks.com Welcome back to the Audiobooks.com Podcast! This week we have a very different show for you, but one we'll hope you'll enjoy as a book lover. To start things off, we discuss some of the audiobooks that were recently released and our interest in them, then get into some of the books we've been listening to. The core of our discussion revolves around some controversies occurring right now in the book industry. Many of the decisions that have been made surrounding these incidents bear a significant impact on the creative side to the business of books and audiobooks, and we wanted to take the time to explore some of these issues. Taking a serious look at them, we believe, makes us better consumers and equips us with the knowledge we need to make informed decisions and support those who need to be supported. Exercising our consumer rights can be the loudest weapon we have against the creative types who are being manipulated by the money-driven machine that fuels them. ON THE RADAR Mindy Kaling's newest book, Why Not Me, was released on September 15, 2015. She reads much of the book herself, but also has other voices making appearances on the audiobook production, including Greg Daniels (known for his work on Saturday Night Live and The Office) and B. J. Novak (writer and fellow co-star on The Office). Kaling's first book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns), which was released in 2011, received mixed responses amongst critics. As her writing style ranges from prose to a more blogging-feel, Mindy herself reads the audiobook, with help from Michael Schur, and brings it to life with a more conversational tone. She covers topics from recounting experiences in Hollywood to childhood memories. Why Not Me is a collection of humorous essays of Mindy's mission to find a balance of fulfillment and joy in life, from love to weight loss. And we hear it is one heck of a chuckler! Also on our radar is a book from singer-songwriter Jewel, entitled Never Broken: Songs Are Only Half the Story. As far as typical celebrity memoirs go, this one is on the longer side. The audiobook is 10 hours and 30 minutes long, but it is read by Jewel herself.  We are familiar with Jewel's early albums, such as her debut Pieces of You from 1995, but the singer has been releasing albums almost every year or two throughout the 2000s. This memoir isn't the first publication Jewel has released. She published a book of poetry in 1998 entitled A Night Without Armor, and then an autobiography in 2000 called Chasing Down the Dawn, which chronicled  her journey from Alaska to the world's stage. Never Broken seems to be Jewel's second stab at an autobiography, but one that is already being met with great reviews! We're excited to check it out. Putting Up Guards Here at Audiobooks.com, we're all about supporting the creative geniuses behind the books and materials we enjoy. As consumers, we have the poignant power to show publishing companies our opinions through choosing to purchase, or not purchase, a book or audiobook instead of complaining. However, we're neither advocating nor supporting a boycott in these situations we bring up, rather we want to bring to light that when the creative process is mistreated by someone intent on making a sell, we have the opportunity to respond to that in kind. The two controversial situations we examine at length are Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman and the late Steig Larsson's The Girl In the Spider's Web. While some books are currently receiving heat for their accuracy, such as Wednesday Martin's The Primates of Park Avenue, these books are brought to our attention because of the publisher's role in releasing a creative work that the author, arguably, had no say in due to death or mental acuity. What makes matters difficult for fans, we think, is a desire to respect the creative process of an author while still having an insatiable curiosity to discover what the book holds. Fans of the first three novels released by Steig Larsson under the Millennium Series are no doubt anxious to read the rumored 7 books that remain. Following Larsson's death in 2004, the hope of reading any further seemed to be dashed. In that same vein, Harper Lee's 1960 novel To Kill A Mockingbird was an immediate success, winning Lee a Pulitzer. But the reactions by Lee and her family, following the books release, make it difficult to justify reading the book. How much of the book was changed from Lee's original manuscript? Did she have a say in the changes that were made? Is this book really deserving of Lee's name under the authorship? When controversy like this arises, what is your response? Do you find yourself interested to read the final product of a long, legal battle, or do you pass on the newly published work in favor of respect for an author? Or is there an option C? We'd love to hear opinions on this, because we're at a crossroads over what the right course is to take. Coming Up Brian is still making his way through Ready Player One, but we promise that a full review of that audiobook is coming up soon! In the meantime, Addy is still learning Italian, so we may need a translator in an upcoming episode for when she becomes fluent! Show us some love!
