Ever found yourself entranced by a rhythm, a melody, or a memory that transports you to another place and time? That's the magic Bruce Ascher, a die-hard Deadhead from Putnam County, brings to the table in our latest episode. With the backdrop of Led Zeppelin and Motown beats, Bruce's musical pilgrimage led him to the Grateful Dead's doorstep, and he's never looked back. We journey with him to his first Dead concert—a serendipitous celebration on Bob Weir's birthday—and through the enchanting live shows that solidified his lifelong devotion. Bruce's tales aren't just about the music; they're a testament to the vibrant community and shared experiences that defined being a Deadhead in the golden '70s and '80s.From the Fourth of July with Bob Dylan co-headlining the Grateful Dead—Bruce was there, and his anecdotes from that iconic 1987 show are just the tip of the iceberg. We navigate through the band's evolving eras, from Keith and Donna to the jazzy stylings of Brent Mydland, and into the hands of cover bands that keep the flame burning brightly. Bruce's narrative includes a nod to local New York legends like Grateful Bro, painting a picture of a scene that refuses to fade away, sustained by the undying passion of fans and musicians alike.Our conversation takes a literary turn as we explore the intersection between the Grateful Dead's cultural phenomenon and the written word, with a spotlight on TC Boyle's "Drop City." We unravel how Boyle's portrayal of freedom and counterculture resonates deeply with Deadheads. Wrapping up, we reflect on the ever-present musical connections that continue to unite and inspire, from spontaneous jams with Bob Weir to the present-day concert scenes that keep the Dead's timeless vibe pulsing through the air. Join us for an unmissable episode that's as much about the music as it is about the memories and the indelible marks they leave on our lives.This episode is sponsored by ShakedownTshirts.com with unique lot-style T-shirts and gifts for Grateful Dead, Phish, Zappa, Panic, and more.

In dieser Folge von “Edle Federn” spricht Juli Zeh mit Julia Franck über die verstorbene Autorin Diane Oliver und ihre Kurzgeschichtensammlung “Nachbarn: Storys”.Julia Franck selbst hat für ihre Kurzgeschichten und Bücher zahlreiche Auszeichnungen, Preise und Stipendien gewonnen. Unter anderem wurde ihr Roman "Die Mittagfrau" mit dem Deutschen Buchpreis ausgezeichnet. Sie selbst erklärte "Vielleserin" entdeckte durch die intensive Lektüre anderer Werke eine Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten der jung verstorbenen Autorin Diane Oliver mit dem Titel: “Nachbarn: Storys” Diane Oliver wuchs in den Südstaaten auf – und in ihren Kurzgeschichten verarbeitete sie ihre Alltagserfahrungen in den rassistischen USA der 60er Jahre. Juli Zeh sagt über NACHBARN: STORYS:Diane Oliver, die selbst in den Zeiten von Rassentrennung und Bürgerrechtsbewegung großgeworden ist, erschafft die Lebenssituation ihrer Charaktere so plastisch und hautnah, dass man beim Lesen immerhin die Chance bekommt, die aus heutiger Sicht vollkommen absurden Verhältnisse nachzufühlen. Dabei sind Olivers Texte nicht politisch in dem Sinne, dass sie anklagen, fordern oder belehren würden. Diane Oliver ist definitiv eine Vertreterin des “Showing Not Telling” - also jener Kunst, die es wagt, ein Geschehnis möglichst präzise darzustellen, um dann dem Leser die Freiheit zu geben, es selbst zu bewerten. Gerade durch dieses Verfahren treffen ihre Kurzgeschichten ins Mark. Das “Nachbarn: Storys” in hervorragender deutscher Übersetzung jetzt herausgegeben wurde, ist ein großes Geschenk. Dass es das einzige literarische Vermächtnis von Diane Oliver ist, ist ein herber Verlust. Was wäre, wenn diese Autorin nicht im Jahr 1966 gestorben wäre, sondern die US-amerikanische Geschichte bis heute begleitet hätte? Vielleicht wäre sie neben den vielen weißen Männern wie Philip Roth, John Updike, Thomas Pynchon, TC Boyle und Jonathan Franzen, die eine weibliche schwarze Erzählerin geworden, deren Werk auf vergleichbare Weise in die Weltliteratur eingegangen wäre.

T. C. Boyle, der „godfather of climate fiction“, ist zu Gast bei Hanser Rauschen und spricht mit Emily Modick und Florian Kessler darüber, ob und wie man über die Klimakatastrophe schreiben sollte. Denn eines steht fest: Seit Jahrzehnten zerstören wir Menschen die Erde systematisch und sind momentan dabei, den ganzen Bumms vollends gegen die Wand zu fahren. Was tun? Gibt es ein Buch, das alle, wirklich alle, zum Umdenken bringen könnte? Sollte jede:r Autor:in jetzt sofort versuchen, dieses Buch zu schreiben? Und vor allem: Warum werden den Verlagen nicht mehr Bücher zu diesem Thema angeboten? Show Notes T.C. Boyle: „Blue Skies“, „Wenn das Schlachten vorbei ist“, „Ein Freund der Erde“. Rachel Carson: „Der stumme Frühling“. David Quammen: „Der Gesang des Dodo: Eine Reise durch die Evolution der Inselwelten“.“ Wo bleibt die (gute) Literatur für die Gegenwart? – Eva Menasses imaginärer Klimaroman“. Solvejg Nitzke (https://www.54books.de/wo-bleibt-die-gute-literatur-fuer-die-gegenwart-eva-menasses-imaginaerer-klimaroman/#more-13426)

Tananarive Due discusses her collection of short horror fiction, The Wishing Pool.

TC Boyle's new novel, Blue Skies, is about a twenty-something social media influencer who brings Burmese pythons into the picture. What can go wrong? It's TC Boyle, so the answer is, “Almost everything.” Plus SCOTUS on WOTUS and unions. And the basics of supporting Bud Light and Chick-fil-A.

TC Boyle discusses Blue Skes, in many senses of the words.

Last year, the state approved hundreds of millions of federal dollars to help child care providers through the pandemic. Eight months later, most payments haven't arrived. Set in California and Florida, TC Boyle's latest novel “Blue Skies” finds humor plus hope in the climate change crisis. As the WGA strike continues, a Santa Monica-based nonprofit is distributing grocery gift cards to writers who are struggling to make ends meet.

We are very excited to publish details about the first annual Raymond Carver and Tess Gallagher Creative Writing Festival to be held in Port Angeles, Washington: April 25-27, 2024. Listen here to learn more. 

Hannah is in the Berkshires (or someplace) digging for ramps and concerned about her to-be-read list, but she made some time to talk books, including "Rough Sleepers" (the next Book Club book), which leads to a big discussion of why people do good works. Sam thinks it's anger. Heavy cynicism ensues. As a palate-cleanser, we then engage in a discussion of note-taking — Hannah won't write in her hardcovers — and the use of notes at Book Club and the preciousness of books. (Note: Maine and Massachusetts are NOT the only states that celebrate Patriots Day). Oh, yeah, the books we read: "Blue Skies," by TC Boyle (who's great, but stay for the mediocre TC Boyle anecdote at the end); "Symphony of Secrets," by Brendan Slocumb (don't read the jacket copy!); "Saha," by Cho Nam-Joo (Singapore is not for Sam; it's unclear whether all of his facts are in order); "You Are Here," by Karin Lin-Greenberg ("shining beacons of capitalism"). And then there's 15 minutes worth of stuff about the Newburyport Literary Festival — for which Hannah is leading a panel on the "coming of age" novel, with Allegra Goodman, Kai Harris, and Jessica Anya Blau — and how we manage our advance-reader copies. Also Roxanne Gay's new imprint and its new romance novel from Vannessa Lyon. 

In this episode we discuss Carver's story "Nobody Said Anything" with novelist and short story writer TC Boyle, and follow with a handful of questions for Boyle about his own life and work.

T. C. Boyle mit einem brennend aktuellen Thema: der Feind der Zivilisation Adam, der Sohn eines Schuldirektors und Vietnamveterans, kriegt nichts auf die Reihe. Er fliegt von allen Schulen, wandert von einem Psychiater zum anderen, bis die Eltern ihn aufgeben. Doch in Adam tickt eine Bombe. Überall wähnt er Feinde, gegen die es sich zu verteidigen gilt. In der Wildnis, wo er ein Schlafmohnfeld angelegt hat, hortet er Waffen. Aber es gibt jemanden, der sich in ihn verliebt. Sara, die auch gegen vieles steht: Globalisierung, Verschwörer und Staatsgewalt. Als sie ihn am Straßenrand aufgabelt, beginnt eine leidenschaftliche Liaison. Doch bald merkt Sara, dass mit Adam nicht gut zu reden ist – und er es ernst meint mit den Feinden, sehr ernst. (Laufzeit: 8h 21)

Ein junger Arzt ist mitten drin und verliebt sich in eine Firmenerbin. Ein romantisches Drama, eingebettet in eine lokal begrenzte Pandemie erzählt aus der Perspektive des jungen Arztes.

C. Boyle vermutlich niemals eine Autobiographie schreiben wird, aber hoffentlich noch viele Romane. Viel Vergnügen!

Mirabelle Bevan swept into the office of McGuigan & McGuigan Debt Recovery at nine on the dot. She removed her jacket and popped the gold aviator sunglasses she'd been wearing into her handbag, which she closed with a decisive click. The musky scent of expensive perfume spiced the air -- the kind that only a sleek, middle-aged woman could hope to carry off. Bill Turpin arrived in her wake. Like Mirabelle, Bill was always punctual. He was a sandy-haired, reliable kind of fellow. At his heel was the black spaniel the office had acquired the year before. Panther nuzzled Mirabelle's knees, his tail wagging.  "Nasty business on Oxford Street," Bill commented, picking up a list of the day's calls from his in-tray and casting an eye down the addresses. "That new barber's." "Tea, Bill?" Mirabelle offered without looking up. "Nah. Always puts me off, does a murder..." -- England Expects, Sara Sheridan What a delight to chat with author Sara Sheridan! I can't possibly keep up with all of her accomplishments, but I'll do my best. Here are a few ways you might connect with her work: -- Like historical mysteries? Her Mirabelle Bevan series features a woman who has suffered tremendous loss -- as has her country. Together, she and England are coming out of the despair of the Second World War. Oh, and Mirabelle is solving murders along the way. -- Prefer contemporary fiction? From Hong Kong call girls to a mysterious inheritance, road trips and revenge, Sara writes it all. -- Historical epics? From China to Antarctica, Brazil, England, and the Arabian desert, Sara sweeps you across the world. -- Nonfiction your thing? She wrote the companion guide to the ITV series, Victoria, and is currently writing about Scottish women in history. As she herself has been inducted into the Saltire Society's community of Outstanding Women, I think that's highly appropriate.  -- Let's not forget blog posts. Here is one of my favorite of hers, on the anniversary of UK women getting the right to vote. It's on the site of Sara's own Reek Perfume, a company she runs with her daughter, so if you have a weakness for fabulous scent, well, you can thank me later.  Sara is so busy writing, she mentions that she needs to deliberately carve out specific times to read. Go-to favorites are Scottish novelist and screenwriter, Lorna Moon, TC Boyle, Jeremy Levin, Susan Ferrier, and of course Agatha Christie. We also talk about the Windrush generation and the problems they're currently facing; anyone interested in learning more can check out this BBC overview.  Sara and I chat about her most recent novel, The Ice Maiden, and if you're in the UK, you're in luck! Today is the launch date! Yay! Go read. Alas, American listeners will have to be a little more patient; we don't get The Ice Maiden until November, 2018, but you can preorder here.  As always, if you'd prefer to read our chat rather than listen, the transcript is below. Enjoy! -- Laura     ********************************************************************** Laura Brennan: Author Sara Sheridan brings history to life in novels such as On Starlit Seas and her upcoming historical epic set in Antarctica, The Ice Maiden, which will be out in the US this July. It’s a romance and an adventure -- but where there’s life there’s also murder… Her Mirabelle Bevan mysteries, set in post-WWII Brighton, feature a woman whose skills were honed during the war and who finds herself at loose ends now that there's peace. Lucky for us, evil lurks everywhere -- even in Brighton. Sara, thank you for joining me. Sara Sheridan: It's nice to chat to you. LB: So you write the wonderful Mirabelle Bevan historical mystery series, which we're going to talk about, but you also write prolifically in other genres. SS: Yes, I do. I find it really stimulating, actually, to write in other genres. I know some writers find it really confusing, but for me,

This week, Martha's guests are George Hodgman, Daphne de Marneffe, Anne Gisleson, and TC Boyle.

In this episode, TC Boyle discusses the impact that humans have on their environment, citing the Channel Islands, the Galapagos of North America. We then take a tour d'horizon covering writing (min. 12), his historical fiction (min. 20), the disappointment of Hollywood for writers and his tenure as a professor (min. 22).  We continue, referring to humans as species with The Tortilla Curtain as an example  (min. 34), grandiose huis clos experiments (min. 36) and close it up with books and technology (min. 39), escaping to a desert island, his advice to himself as a 20 year old (which he didn't follow) and his favourite place in California. Coming up - the Santa Monica Pier, LA's Poet Laureate Luis Rodriguez, and UC Berkeley's Michael Dear on why walls don't work.  Feed your soul. Keep listening.   

In a live Studio class, advanced writers discuss the short story, Chicxulub, by TC Boyle. They are particularly interested in the literary device known as the objective correlative, the infusion of description and the movement of the scenes it's used in this story.

LARB's resident film critic Anna Shechtman joins fellow cinephiles Medaya Ocher & Kate Wolf to talk about their favorite foreign films of 2016; focusing on Pedro Almodovar's change of pace, Julieta; Paul Veerhoeven's Elle starring fiercely sublime Isabelle Huppert; and The Handmaiden, a genre-bending and visually stunning tale of Victorian Korea by Park Chan-Wook. Also, Tom Lutz recommends TC Boyle's The Terranauts (with its surprising Trump Administration tie-in); and praises DH Lawrence's Terra Incognita.

This week on Eat Your Words, host Cathy Erway is joined by Natalie Eve Garrett, an artist, writer, and the editor of The Artists' and Writers' Cookbook: A Collection of Stories with Recipes from powerHouse Books.

TC Boyle's The Terranauts centers around eight earth explorers who lock themselves up in E2, a biodome created to mimic earth and test the viability of a self-sustained environment. But what happens between the eight terranauts and their mission control has a bigger impact on sustainability than science had counted on.

Artist Cornelia Parker's contribution to The British Library's Magna Carta octocentennial exhibition is an embroidery interpretation of the Wikipedia page for this cornerstone of the British constitution. What does it add to the commemorations? There's a new Mad Max film, "Fury Road", with Tom Hardy replacing Mel Gibson in the title role - it's two hours of more-or-less non-stop action and taken decades to reach the screen; is it worth the wait? Film director Mike Leigh is a big fan of the operas of Gilbert and Sullivan. He has been working with English National Opera on a staging of The Pirates of Penzance -how does his improvisational working style fit with the formatted world of opera? Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell was Susanna Clarke's 800 page novel of magic in 19th Century England. It's been turned into a 7-part TV series by the BBC. American novelist TC Boyle's newest work is The Harder They Come, about gun control and mental illness in the USA.

TC Boyle Stories II

Author, Wild Child

Gil Mansergh once again welcomes the celebrated novelist and former Sonoma County resident, T.C. Boyle for an hour-long conversation on Word By Word. They chat about T.C.’s newest novel “San Miguel” which tells the stories of three courageous women who fought against loneliness and despair as sheep ranchers on an isolated, wind swept island in the Santa Barbara Channel.

When the Killing's Done (Penguin)  Acclaimed novelist T.C. Boyle (The Women) returns to Skylight to read and sign this new paperback edition of his latest novel, When the Killing's Done, a fictional take on real-life battle between the National Park Service and animal welfare activists over invasive species in the Channel Islands. With vividly drawn characters and heart-pounding plot twists, Boyle asks an important question: When it comes to restoring delicate ecosystems, are the lives of some animals worth more than those of others? "He writes lyrically, beautifully — about the ocean, the land, about California history and its pitfalls and perils.... Boyle makes us laugh and wonder at his dazzling gifts but his comedy is a dark business." --Los Angeles Times "Terrifically exciting and unapologetically relevant." --The Washington Post "Character, science and history co-evolve marvelously here in a tale of fanaticism gone literally overboard." --Barbara Kingsolver, The New York Times T.C. Boyle is the author of twelve novels including most recently, The Women, a New York Times bestseller, and nine collections of short stories, including Wild Child. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, he lives near Santa Barbara, CA and is Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Southern California.

"Well, God, when he was writing this book, and I think it was a bestseller in its day, he didn't really take into account the fact that we, ourselves, are animals."
