Podcasts about Sylvia Beach

Comenzamos el programa desde la Librería 'Amapolas en octubre', uno de los iconos de emprendimiento y amor por la lectura en pleno barrio de Chueca. El establecimiento está (literalmente) edificado sobre el libro homónimo de la autora Laura Riñón. Dejó los cielos para cumplir su sueño entre libros. Después de 22 años trabajando como azafata —primero en Spanair y luego en aviación privada—, decidió dar un giro radical a su vida y abrir su propia librería: Amapolas en octubre, un espacio cultural en el centro de Madrid. Aunque estudió Derecho y voló durante más de dos décadas, su verdadera vocación siempre fueron los libros. Inspirada por la histórica librera Sylvia Beach y su legendaria Shakespeare and Company, Laura soñaba con crear no solo una librería, sino un lugar de encuentro para la cultura. Hoy es la anfitriona de este refugio literario, cumpliendo un deseo que expresó hace 22 años en un brindis de cumpleaños: tener su propia casa de libros.Aprovechamos nuestra visita a la librería para conversar con Alejandro Palomas con motivo de la presentación de su primer cómic: 'Amalia. Una madre incorregible'. Esta novela gráfica, ilustrada por Carolina de Prada, celebra el décimo aniversario de su novela 'Una madre', dando vida visual al entrañable personaje de Amalia. Con su peculiar visión del mundo y acompañada de su perrita Shirley, Amalia protagoniza situaciones tan hilarantes como conmovedoras, desafiando a sus hijos y al sentido común con una energía desbordante y una memoria caprichosa. El cómic ofrece escenas inéditas que capturan la esencia de esta madre única, consolidando su lugar en el corazón de los lectores.

Paris in the early 1900s was a magnet for convention-defying American women. It offered a delicious taste of freedom, which they used to explode the gender norms of their day, and to explore new kinds of art, literature, dance and design. In the process, they became arbiters of modernism.In this episode we revisit our interview with curator Robyn Asleson about the National Portrait Gallery's “Brilliant Exiles” exhibition, which opened in April. It features 60 trailblazing women, including the dancer, singer and spy Josephine Baker, as well as the bookshop owner Sylvia Beach, who took a chance on James Joyce. Also in the lineup: Ada ‘Bricktop' Smith, whose bustling nightclub became a hub for American jazz musicians, and Romaine Brooks, the painter who reinvented herself... and then reinvented herself again.The exhibition runs until Feb. 23, 2025, so there's still time to catch it!See the portraits we discussed:Ada “Bricktop” Smith, by Carl Van VechtenJosephine Baker, by Stanislaus Julian WaleryGertrude Stein, by Pablo PicassoSylvia Beach, by Paul-Émile BécatRomaine Brooks, self-portrait

Avec Margot Gallimard, Anne F. Garréta, Laure Murat, Suzette Robichon & Céline Sciamma En 1915, Adrienne Monnier fonde une librairie-bibliothèque de prêts, la Maison des Amis des Livres, au 7, rue de l'Odéon. Quelques années plus tard, Sylvia Beach ouvre en face, au n°12, Shakespeare and Company, son équivalent anglo-saxon. L'Odéonie est née. Entre les deux librairies, se construit dans l'entre-deux guerres un espace pour la pensée et le commerce de l'esprit, l'échange des idées et la défense de la littérature contemporaine, où se croisent James Joyce, André Gide, Valery Larbaud, André Breton, Louis Aragon, Colette, Gertrude Stein, Violette Leduc, Walter Benjamin, Gisèle Freund, Ernest Hemingway et bien d'autres. L'Ulysse de Joyce, partout rejeté par la censure, y verra le jour, en anglais, puis en français. Des rencontres, des publications, des lectures publiques, des expositions animent pendant vingt ans cet espace où se réinvente la vie intellectuelle autant que se développe, souterraine, une culture féministe et lesbienne. À travers un montage de textes, « L'Odéonie ou la vie de l'esprit » rend hommage à un couple de libraires à l'énergie et l'indépendance hors normes, modèles de résistance au conformisme et source d'inspiration à laquelle notre époque gagnerait de s'abreuver.

Guest host Russ Eagle interviews Clay about Phase II of his 2024 Travels with Charley tour. What has Clay learned from retracing Steinbeck's famous 1960 cross-country journey? This time from Bismarck to Seattle, then Monterey, Salinas, and Route 66. Clay describes a few mishaps that have occurred. Plus, a visit to the Sylvia Beach literary hotel in Oregon, the annual Lewis and Clark Cultural Tour, the magnificence of the American continent, and people's reluctance to discuss our paralytic political situation. Finally, the lingering question: uncovering the best gumbo in America?

Nous sommes le 11 octobre 1923, à Toronto. Ernest Hemingway écrit à son amie Sylvia Beach : « Nous avons une terrible nostalgie de Paris. » Sa destinataire, originaire de Baltimore, qui a ouvert, quatre ans plus tôt, dans la capitale française, la librairie « Shakespeare and company » assure quant à elle : « Je ne voulais pas quitter cette ville. Je l'aimais tellement qu'à la pensée d'y rester et de devenir Parisienne à mon tour, je n'hésitai plus. » Quant à Henry Miller, l'auteur de « Tropique du Cancer » et de « Jours tranquille à Clichy », il écrira, en 1944, dans ses « Lettres à Emil » : « Mieux valait être un mendiant à Paris qu'un millionnaire à New York ».

La censura no es algo de nuestros días, aunque lo estamos viendo últimamente cuando el Gobierno dice “monitorizar las redes” o las hordas de gente a los mandos de las ideologías que cancelan o denuncian a otros para que sean censurados. Tampoco es algo que venda de regímenes totalitarios como dictaduras de derechas o de izquierdas. La sociedad, su moralidad y sus dirigentes han ejercido presiones para que algo no se publique. Un ejemplo lo tenemos en esta obra: Ulises, de James Joyce. ¿Sabías que una de las obras maestras de la literatura universal, Ulises de James Joyce, estuvo prohibida durante años en varios países por considerarse obscena y blasfema? En este post te voy a contar la historia de la censura de Ulises, las razones que llevaron a las autoridades a vetarla y las consecuencias que tuvo para el autor y sus lectores. Ulises es una novela que narra la vida de Leopold Bloom, un judío irlandés, durante un solo día: el 16 de junio de 1904. La novela está dividida en 18 capítulos, cada uno con un estilo diferente y una correspondencia simbólica con la Odisea de Homero. La novela es famosa por su complejidad, su innovación formal y su lenguaje rico y variado, que incluye numerosos neologismos, juegos de palabras, alusiones culturales y referencias eróticas. La novela se publicó por primera vez en París en 1922, gracias al apoyo de la mecenas Sylvia Beach, propietaria de la librería Shakespeare and Company. Joyce tuvo que recurrir a esta vía porque ningún editor británico o estadounidense se atrevió a publicar su obra, temiendo las represalias legales. De hecho, la novela fue objeto de varios procesos judiciales por supuesta obscenidad y blasfemia, tanto en Estados Unidos como en Reino Unido. Uno de los primeros casos fue el de The Little Review, una revista literaria estadounidense que publicó fragmentos de Ulises entre 1918 y 1920. La revista fue denunciada por la Sociedad para la Supresión del Vicio, una organización moralista que consideraba que la novela era una ofensa al pudor y a la religión. El caso llegó a los tribunales y la revista fue declarada culpable de publicar material obsceno. La sentencia obligó a la revista a dejar de publicar Ulises y a pagar una multa. Otro caso famoso fue el de Random House, una editorial estadounidense que quiso publicar Ulises en 1933. La editorial tuvo que enfrentarse a la Oficina de Aduanas, que confiscaba los ejemplares de la novela que llegaban desde Europa. La editorial demandó a la Oficina de Aduanas y el caso llegó hasta el Tribunal Supremo. El tribunal falló a favor de Random House y declaró que Ulises no era obsceno, sino una obra de arte. Esta sentencia abrió las puertas para la publicación y distribución de Ulises en Estados Unidos. En Reino Unido, la situación fue similar. Ulises estuvo prohibido hasta 1936, cuando una editorial llamada Bodley Head consiguió los derechos para publicarla. Sin embargo, la novela tuvo que pasar por un proceso de censura previa, que eliminó o modificó algunas palabras y frases consideradas ofensivas. La versión censurada fue la única disponible en Reino Unido hasta 1960, cuando se publicó una edición íntegra basada en el texto original de Joyce. La censura de Ulises no solo afectó a los países anglosajones, sino también a otros como Irlanda, Australia o Canadá. En algunos casos, la prohibición duró hasta los años sesenta o setenta del siglo XX. La censura tuvo un impacto negativo en la reputación y las ventas de la novela, así como en la vida personal y profesional de Joyce, que sufrió depresión, problemas económicos y dificultades para escribir su siguiente obra: Finnegans Wake. Hoy en día, Ulises es considerada una obra maestra indiscutible y una de las novelas más influyentes e importantes del siglo XX. Su valor literario ha sido reconocido por numerosos escritores, críticos y premios. Su lectura sigue siendo un reto y un placer para los amantes de la literatura. Su historia es un ejemplo de cómo el arte puede triunfar sobre la censura y el prejuicio.

You may have heard of her in connection to Sylvia Beach last episode. Yes, this time it's Adrienne Monnier, the French bookstore owner across the street from Shakespeare and Company. We dive into the French side of the scene and the other side of the Beach-Monnier-Freund love triangle.

You've probably heard the name Sylvia Beach in sentences about Hemingway, Joyce, and other famous men. You've probably even heard of her in publishing Ulysses. You may not have heard of her blow up with Joyce over her publishing rights during a piracy scandal or of her relationship to fellow lending bookshop owner Adrienne Monnier.Continue reading "Godmother of Literary Paris – Ep.39"

Before email, when long distance telephone calls were difficult and expensive, people wrote letters, often several each day. Today, those letters provide an intimate and revealing look at the lives and loves of the people who wrote them. When the author is a brilliant writer who lived an exciting, eventful life, the letters are especially interesting. Martha Gellhorn was a strong-willed, self-made, modern woman whose journalism, and life, were widely influential at the time and cleared a path for women who came after her. An ardent anti-fascist, she abhorred "objectivity shit" and wrote about real people doing real things with intelligence and passion. She is most famous, to her enduring exasperation, as Ernest Hemingway's third wife. Long after their divorce, her short tenure as "Mrs. Hemingway" from 1940 to 1945 invariably eclipsed her writing and, consequently, she never received her full due. Gellhorn's work and personal life attracted a disparate cadre of political and celebrity friends, among them, Sylvia Beach, Ingrid Bergman, Leonard Bernstein, Norman Bethune, Robert Capa, Charlie Chaplin, Chiang Kai-shek, Madame Chiang, Colette, Gary Cooper, John Dos Passos, Dorothy Parker, Maxwell Perkins, Eleanor and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Orson Welles, H.G. Wells -- the people who made history in her time and beyond. Yours, for Probably Always: Martha Gellhorn's Letters of Love and War 1930-1949 (Firefly Books, 2022) is a curated collection of letters between Gellhorn and the extraordinary personalities that were her correspondents in the most interesting time of her life. Through these letters and the author's contextual narrative, the book covers Gellhorn's life and work, including her time reporting for Harry Hopkins and America's Federal Emergency Relief Administration in the 1930s, her newspaper and magazine reportage during the Spanish Civil War, World War II and the Vietnam War, and her relationships with Hemingway and General James M. Gavin late in the war, and her many lovers and affairs. Gellhorn's fiction of the time sold well: The Trouble I've Seen (1936) -- her Depression-Era stories based on the FERA activities, with an introduction by H.G. Wells; A Stricken Field (1940) -- a novel inspired by the German-Jewish refugee crisis and set in 1938 Czechoslovakia; The Heart of Another (1941) -- stories edited by Maxwell Perkins; and The Wine of Astonishment (1948) -- her novel about the liberation of Dachau, which she reported for Collier's. Gellhorn's life, reportage, fiction and correspondence reveal her passionate advocacy of social justice and her need to tell the stories of "the people who were the sufferers of history." Renewed interest in her life makes this new collection, packed with newly discovered letters and pictures, fascinating reading.

Today, those letters provide an intimate and revealing look at the lives and loves of the people who wrote them. When the author is a brilliant writer who lived an exciting, eventful life, the letters are especially interesting. Martha Gellhorn was a strong-willed, self-made, modern woman whose journalism, and life, were widely influential at the time and cleared a path for women who came after her. An ardent anti-fascist, she abhorred "objectivity shit" and wrote about real people doing real things with intelligence and passion. She is most famous, to her enduring exasperation, as Ernest Hemingway's third wife. Long after their divorce, her short tenure as "Mrs. Hemingway" from 1940 to 1945 invariably eclipsed her writing and, consequently, she never received her full due. Gellhorn's work and personal life attracted a disparate cadre of political and celebrity friends, among them, Sylvia Beach, Ingrid Bergman, Leonard Bernstein, Norman Bethune, Robert Capa, Charlie Chaplin, Chiang Kai-shek, Madame Chiang, Colette, Gary Cooper, John Dos Passos, Dorothy Parker, Maxwell Perkins, Eleanor and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Orson Welles, H.G. Wells -- the people who made history in her time and beyond. Yours, for Probably Always: Martha Gellhorn's Letters of Love and War 1930-1949 (Firefly Books, 2022) is a curated collection of letters between Gellhorn and the extraordinary personalities that were her correspondents in the most interesting time of her life. Through these letters and the author's contextual narrative, the book covers Gellhorn's life and work, including her time reporting for Harry Hopkins and America's Federal Emergency Relief Administration in the 1930s, her newspaper and magazine reportage during the Spanish Civil War, World War II and the Vietnam War, and her relationships with Hemingway and General James M. Gavin late in the war, and her many lovers and affairs. Gellhorn's fiction of the time sold well: The Trouble I've Seen (1936) -- her Depression-Era stories based on the FERA activities, with an introduction by H.G. Wells; A Stricken Field (1940) -- a novel inspired by the German-Jewish refugee crisis and set in 1938 Czechoslovakia; The Heart of Another (1941) -- stories edited by Maxwell Perkins; and The Wine of Astonishment (1948) -- her novel about the liberation of Dachau, which she reported for Collier's. Gellhorn's life, reportage, fiction and correspondence reveal her passionate advocacy of social justice and her need to tell the stories of "the people who were the sufferers of history." Renewed interest in her life makes this new collection, packed with newly discovered letters and pictures, fascinating reading.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Was there a theme or meaning you wanted us to talk about further? Let us know in the comments below! Today we talk about James Joyce's Dubliners. We spent the last three years going through these stories. Revelations were made. Mistakes were made. That's the journey we take with this masterpiece. We hope to get people excited about this book and consider taking another round with us. There are always new stones to overturn with its many themes of paralysis, stagnation, alienation, home rule, independence, frustration, and more. We used the Richard Ellmann and Don Gifford guides at many points.

When George Whitman, in 1951, established a bookstore he wanted it to be more than a literary sanctuary for book lovers. He turned it into a sanctuary for writers seeking inspiration.The bookshop — as any devotee of books or, really, any of my listeners would have guessed — is the legendary Shakespeare & Company in the heart of Paris. Whitman welcomed all writers who needed a place to stay as his own personal guests at the bookstore — and to accommodate them, he had rooms and beds and made space available, entirely free. This philosophy is best summarised by a sign painted above an inner door that reads, “Be kind to strangers lest they be angels in disguise”.In exchange for staying there for free, these indigent writers — Whitman called them tumbleweeds — were asked only to read one book every day, and help stack books and carry out other chores in the shop. Oh, and they had to write something autobiographical about themselves for Whitman's archives. Today, Shakespeare & Company is said to have played host and refuge to an estimated 40,000 tumbleweeds since 1951.One such tumbleweed that blew through Shakespeare & Company was my guest today, Jeremy Mercer — author of a delightful book, Books, Baguettes & Bedbugs. The book has another — and in my opinion better — title, Time Was Soft There.Towards the end of 1999, Jeremy had to abandon his life — and his job as a crime reporter in Ottawa, Canada — following a death threat. You'll find out why in this podcast. He sought refuge in Paris. Before long, Jeremy was broke and without a place to stay, ended up living in Shakespeare and Company, as another tumbleweed.During his time there, Jeremy met a vibrant cast of characters — including George Whitman and fellow tumbleweeds — all of whom made the bookstore their home. Jeremy's daily life became inseparable from the bookstore's activities, and its rich history and its literary heritage.Again, most of my listeners would already know that Shakespeare & Company — first started by Sylvia Beach was frequented by Ernest Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce, and other literary giants. In fact, Sylvia Beach first published James Joyce's Ulysses, when no one else would. In Whitman's time, Shakespeare & Company served as a base for many of the writers of the Beat Generation, such as Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, and William S. Burroughs.Jeremy's book gives us a sense of the bohemian world of artists and writers in Paris as it celebrates the charm of independent bookstores. Above all, Jeremy brings us close to George Whitman, the legend.ABOUT JEREMY MERCERJeremy Mercer is a Canadian writer and translator who lives in the Luberon in France. He has written four works of non-fiction that have been published in more than a dozen languages. After translating the English edition of L'Abolition by former French Minister of Justice Robert Badinter, he began specialising in art and photography translation. His writing has won or been nominated for numerous literary and journalism prizes. He also serves as president of AS Dauphin, his local football club.Buy Books, Baguettes & Bedbugs here: https://amzn.to/3CwWC8CWHAT'S THAT WORD?!Co-host Pranati "Pea" Madhav joins Ramjee Chandran in "What's That Word?!",  where they discuss the meaning and origins of "left bank" and "right bank".WANT TO BE ON THE SHOW?Reach us by mail: theliterarycity@explocity.com or simply, tlc@explocity.com.Or here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theliterarycityOr here:  https://www.instagram.com/explocityblr/

Who am I to write about these people? I'm just some housewife with five unpublished novels in my attic. And two writer friends from very different parts of my writing life responded to that comment in almost exactly the same way. They were like, ‘but Kerri, this is your novel, isn't it? I was and that was very liberating to me.” - Kerri Maher “I've really had to embrace representing real people and real time periods. Yes,I want to absolutely do right by them. I want to kind of represent the truth of their essence.. But I also have to cop to the fact and respect the fact that these are my versions of these people.” - Kerri Maher   Kerri's Links Kerri's website Kerri's Instagram Kerri's Facebook Kerri's Twitter Books & Resources Mentioned in This Episode The Kennedy Debutante book by Kerri Maher The Girl in White Gloves book by Kerri Maher All You Have to Do Is Call book by Kerri Maher The Paris Wife book by Paula McClain A Moveable Feast book by Ernest Hemingway Ulysses book by James Joyce  Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow book by Gabrielle Zevin The House of Eve book by Sadeqa Johnson The Midnight Library by Matt Haig   Connect with Jen!

Stéphane Bern, entouré de ses chroniqueurs historiquement drôles et parfaitement informés, s'amuse avec l'Histoire – la grande, la petite, la moyenne… - et retrace les destins extraordinaires de personnalités qui n'auraient jamais pu se croiser, pour deux heures où le savoir et l'humour avancent main dans la main. Aujourd'hui, Sylvia Beach. 

Historiquement Vôtre réunit 3 Américaines à Paris : la peintre de philadelphie Mary Cassatt, femme impressionniste dans un milieu d'hommes, plus connue aux Etats-Unis qu'en France où elle a pourtant passé les trois-quarts de sa vie à peindre en faisant justement des dames le sujet central de ses toiles. Puis, elle aussi a choisi Paris : l'Américaine Sylvia Beach, libraire puis éditrice venue chercher refuge dans la capitale des arts et des lettres, où elle su rassembler autour d'elle les plus féconds des esprits, d'Ernest Hemingway à Francis Scott Fitzgerald. Et une Américaine in Paris de fiction, dans un Paris de fiction : l'héroïne de la série de Netflix Emily in Paris, Emily Cooper.

Depuis lundi, nous sommes parties, Françoise et moi, sur les traces de l'écrivain James Joyce à Paris. Cette année, c'est le centième anniversaire, le centenaire donc, de la publication de Ulysses. La publication a eu lieu, le 2/2/22. Le 2 février 1922, le jour des 40 ans de James Joyce. Ce jour-là, Sylvia Beach met en vitrine un exemplaire du livre dans sa librairie, Shakespeare and Company, rue de l'Odéon. Elle court ensuite remettre un exemplaire à Joyce.  Nous sommes allées rue de l'Odéon avec Françoise. Nous avons vu la plaque qui signale l'endroit où se trouvait à l'époque la librairie. Puis, nous avons marché jusqu'à la Seine. Ce n'est pas très loin à pied.  www.onethinginafrenchday.com  

There were a lot of anniversaries in 2022 : the 4th centenary of Molière's birth, the 2nd centenary of the deciphering of the hieroglyphes by Jean-Francois Champollion, the centenary of Marcel Proust's death and the centenary of the publication of Ulysses by James Joyce, in Paris.  Yes, in Paris ! It was the American owner of the bookshop Shakespeare and Company, Sylvia Beach, that published the famous book in 1922.  With my friend Françoise, a reader of Ulysses in English,  we went to different places related to James Joyce in Paris. A little odissey of our own. The bookshop Shakespeare and Company owned by Sylvia Beach doesn't exist anymore, though I'm sure you have heard about a famous bookshop, named Shakespeare and Company, near Notre-Dame. Haven't you? What is the story of this bookshop? This is what this episode is about. You can imagine Françoise and I in Paris on a cloudy day.  In the notes that come with the transcript, we will focus on all the numbers and dates that this episodes contains.  So, are you ready to cultivate your French? Then, you could subscribe to the transcripts and notes of this podcast at www.cultivateyourfrench.com.

My guest this week is Kerri Maher, whose latest work of historical fiction, The Paris Bookseller, spent four weeks on the Indie Bestseller List and was just named a USA Today Bestseller. After having written about Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy and Grace Kelly, surprisingly it was The Paris Bookseller's Sylvia Beach that Kerri was most intimidated to write about. Although, as founder of the original Shakespeare and Company, close friend of Ernest Hemingway, and influential supporter of James Joyce, perhaps it's not hard to see why. In our conversation, Kerri shares what drew her to Sylvia Beach, what surprised her about James Joyce, how both the love affair with Adrienne Monnier and censorship of “obscene” materials shaped Sylvia's life, and so much more. Then, she treats us to a reading from The Paris Bookseller.kerrimaher.comhttps://www.instagram.com/kerrimaherwriter/https://www.facebook.com/kerrimaherwriterhttps://twitter.com/kerrimaherbookshttps://www.wellesleybooks.comJoin our Book Club: patreon.com/parisundergroundradioFind Us OnlineWebsite: https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/storytimeinparisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty.

Kerri Maher's fictionalized story of Sylvia Beach, the American who owned and operated Shakespeare & Company, the bookstore that became the home of modern literature.

EPISODE NOTES: When two creative powerhouses get together, madness (and a little lobster) is not off the menu! Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dali were individually massive personalities and iconic figures. Together, they blew up and blurred lines between art and fashion.

Today is June 16, Bloomsday, the day in 1904 on which James Joyce's novel Ulysses takes place. But this year also marks the 100th anniversary of its publication, and to celebrate the occasion, The American Scholar asked five writers for their thoughts on Joyce's modern masterpiece. One of them, Flicka Small, wrote about the food in the novel, from the inner organs of beasts and fowls that Leopold Bloom eats with relish to the Gorgonzola on his sandwich—not to mention Molly Bloom's sensuous seed cake, Blazes Boylans's suggestive peaches, and everything that Stephen Daedalus can't afford to eat. Flicka Small came to her lectureship at University College Cork by way of her earlier career as a chef, giving her a singular perspective on the wild array of foods that appear on that famous day in Dublin, Ireland.Go beyond the episode:Read Flicka Small's contribution to our Joyce centennial, “Know Me Come Eat With Me”Read the other four essays: Robert J. Seidman on why Ulysses is as vital as ever; Keri Walsh's celebration of the novel's first publisher, Sylvia Beach; Donal Ryan on the three times he's read it; and Amit Chaudhuri on just having fun with the flowBloomsday 2022 is on in Ireland and around the worldWhip up some pan-fried kidneys, a Gorgonzola sandwich, or some sugarsticky sweetsWe borrowed the title of this episode from Alison Armstrong's excellent 1986 cookbook, The Joyce of Cooking, which you can find in used bookstoresTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

In June 1962, Sylvia Beach was in the last months of her life. She unveiled a tower in Sandycove as a museum to James Joyce. Without her, would the world have known the significance of that place? Her little Parisian bookshop will forever be bound to Dublin.

Recorded at Hay Festival, Hay-on-Wye, Tuesday 31 May 2022“Ulysses is going to make my place famous,” Sylvia Beach wrote to James Joyce when she made the decision to publish his novel, written over seven years and describing the events of a single day in Dublin. To celebrate a hundred years of this literary masterpiece, five devoted readers share their thoughts on reading a novel that has a reputation for being challenging, while maintaining a cult-like following as one of the defining books of modernism. ​Xiaolu Guo is a writer, Adam Biles is Literary Director at Shakespeare and Company in Paris and John Mitchinson is publisher at Unbound.

“Finally, the first of Norton's long-awaited treatments of Ernest Hemingway, the American who, more than anyone, changed the look and sound of modern American prose. Academic rigor and impeccable attention to detail are the hallmarks of the Norton Critical Edition, and this volume on The Sun Also Rises is no exception. In addition to the usual suspects of contemporary reviews and early criticism, this volume draws on an exceptional pool of resources and ancillary material to tell this novel's story: biographical excerpts from the likes of Sylvia Beach and Harold Loeb, original expurgated text, epistolary exchanges with Max Perkins and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and hefty segments on expatriation, the bullfights, and Hemingway's own literary influences. Add to this a generous sampling of new, exceptional criticism that speaks to a modern audience about issues of gender and sexuality and about race, and a wonderful, spirited introduction, and this critical edition edited by Michael Thurston becomes the definitive edition of Hemingway's star-making novel and a necessary comprehensive guide for both teachers and students.” --Marc Dudley, North Carolina State University. William Domnarski is a longtime lawyer who before and during has been a literary guy, with a Ph.D. in English. He's written five books on judges, lawyers, and courts, two with Oxford, one with Illinois, one with Michigan, and one with the American Bar Association. Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's Love Letters to..., Alicia introduces us to two women who blazed their own trails in life, eventually blazing them together. France's Adrienne Monnier established a unique business on Paris's Left Bank as a bookseller and booklender in 1915, with a special focus on supporting the community of women readers. American Sylvia Beach, inspired by the intellectual milieu she enjoyed at Adrienne's La Maison des Amis des Livres, opened the famed English-language bookshop Shakespeare and Company four years later. They didn't only inspire each other in business; these two literary women fell in love and were a couple for the next 36 years, until Adrienne's death in 1955. In their years together, they championed some of the most important literary voices of their generation, including James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, and Ernest Hemingway, and left a lasting legacy in the form of today's Shakespeare and Company. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week's hot take: we should all want to be Sylvia Beach when we grow up... Learn more about the founder of Shakespeare and Company, translator, editor, author, and patron saint of booksellers as we jet off to Paris in celebration of her ongoing impact on the literary world! 

Kerri Maher has written three historical fiction novels: The Kennedy Debutante, The Girl In White Gloves: A Novel of Grace Kelly and just released in 2022,  the national best-selling The Paris Bookseller, about trailblazing entrepreneur Sylvia Beach and the original Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris.  Fiona Davis, is the New York Times best-selling author of six historical fiction novels set in iconic New York City buildings, including The Dollhouse, The Address, and The Lions of Fifth Avenue, which was a Good Morning America book club pick. Her latest novel, The Magnolia Palace, was released in February of 2022.   Kerri and Fiona have a wide-ranging discussion that includes their work, lives, passions and creative process. They cover it all, from fictionalizing real people, to researching real places, to their mutual love of hoop skirts.

Sylvia Beach was born on this day in 1887. She founded the bookstore “Shakespeare and Company” in Paris which became an influential gathering place for English writers in the 1920s.
