Podcast appearances and mentions of Tessa Hadley

Mavis Gallant is best known for her short stories, 116 of which were first published in the New Yorker. Extraordinarily varied and prolific, she arranged her life around the solitary pleasure of writing while battling extreme self-doubt. Tessa Hadley joins Joanne O'Leary to discuss her recent review of 44 previously uncollected Gallant stories and her own forthcoming selection for Pushkin Press. They explore what makes Gallant a ‘writer's writer', where her reporting and fiction intersect, and why her novels fail where her short stories succeed.Find further reading on the episode page: https://lrb.me/gallantpod Hosted on Acast.

Ayşegül Savaş joins Deborah Treisman to discuss “An Abduction,” by Tessa Hadley, which was published in The New Yorker in 2012. Savaş has published three novels, “Walking on the Ceiling,” “White on White,” and “The Anthropologists,” and one nonfiction book, “The Wilderness,” an essay and memoir about the first forty days of motherhood. A collection of stories, “Long Distance,” will come out in 2025. She has been publishing fiction in The New Yorker since 2019.

Two brilliant authors and humans, Rumaan Alam and Tessa Hadley, go head to head in a war of the words. They talk about the joy of writing about clothes, how money can drive you mad and how some cities are easier to fictionalise than others. As well as discussing their new novels, their writing styles and processes and the difference between writing short stories, novels and novellas, they also give us some great book recommendations. Entitlement by Rumaan Alam is a novel about an ambitious young Black woman, plotting her way into the world of the one percent, and an old white billionaire, facing his own extinction. He's attracted to her intelligence, her refusal to be deferential, maybe also her Blackness, whilst she's drawn to his power and money – and his apparent willingness to share both with her. But how far is each prepared to go to get what they think they deserve?The Party by Tessa Hadley is a novella set in post-war Bristol. Sisters Moira and Evelyn are on the cusp of adulthood who meet two men at a dockside party. Paul and Sinden's air of worldliness and sophistication both intrigues and repels them. Sinden calls a few days later to invite them over to the grand suburban mansion Paul shares with his brother and sister. As the night unfolds in this unfamiliar, glamorous new setting, the sisters learn things about themselves and each other that shock them, and release them into a new phase of their lives.We hope you enjoy this episode of Book Off!

Ian McMillan presents a special extended interview with writer and novelist Tessa Hadley. Tessa Hadley's books are admired for the flowing, thoughtful intensity of her prose; and she is a master of capturing the humanity of domestic lives and the quietly devastating drama of the everyday. Hadley is a writer with a keen eye for the telling detail and a gift for bringing everything she has, sees and knows about life to the characters she creates. Her first novel was published when she was 46 and since then she has written short stories as well as novels.Producer: Cecile Wright

In Tessa Hadley's new collection, After the Funeral (Jonathan Cape), small events have huge consequences. As psychologically astute as they are emotionally dense, these stories illuminate the enduring conflicts between responsibility and freedom, power and desire, convention and subversion, reality and dreams. Hadley was in conversation with Geoff Dyer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We explore the medium of short stories through the prism of two new collections by two UK writers. Tessa Hadley's new book, “After the Funeral”, is characteristically full of sharp observations about personal and familial relationships. Meanwhile, Lawrence Osborne's “Burning Angel and Other Stories” is the first collection of short stories from the novelist, in which characters find themselves up against forces they can't control. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In July, The New Yorker published its thirtieth story by Tessa Hadley—a higher count that of any other fiction writer in the past two decades. On a recent episode of the New Yorker Radio Hour, the fiction editor Deborah Treisman spoke with Hadley about her genesis as a fiction writer. Hadley's latest story collection is “After the Funeral.”

The New Yorker first published a short story by Tessa Hadley in 2002. Titled “Lost and Found,” it described a friendship between two women who had been close since childhood.  Hadley's fiction is often consumed with relationships at this scale: tight dramas close to home. She captures, within these relationships, an extraordinary depth and complexity of emotion. The New Yorker recently published its thirtieth story from Hadley—a higher count than any other fiction writer in recent times. That figure is particularly remarkable because Hadley had such a late start to her career, publishing her first work of fiction in her forties. She talks with the New Yorker fiction editor Deborah Treisman about her long struggle to stop imitating the writing of others, instead telling stories authentic to her own experience and voice. “I was just a late developer, and I was trying to write other people's novels for all that time,” she says. Treisman also asks Hadley about why her work has been labelled “domestic fiction” by many critics. The term is disproportionately applied to female writers, and “tends to have a bit of condescension to it,” Hadley says. But she is willing to at least consider whether her work is too focussed on certain kinds of bourgeois-family relationships. “I almost completely accept the challenge,” she tells Treisman. “I think one should feel perpetually slightly on edge as to whether your subject matter justifies the art.”

Welcome to this special episode sharing a conversation between Jojo Moyes and Alex Clark about Jojo's new novel, 'Someone Else's Shoes'! Jojo's novels have sold over 51 million copies worldwide, hit the Number One spot in 12 countries, have been translated into 46 languages and one of her bestselling books was adapted into a film starring Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke. Someone Else's Shoes is her 16th novel, and we were incredibly excited to have her on a special Instagram Live last month, just 24 hours after it hit UK bookshops! In the book we meet Nisha Cantor and Sam Kemp, two very different women whose lives become unexpectedly intertwined after a bag mix-up at the gym. Nisha lives the globetrotting life of the seriously wealthy, until her husband inexplicably cuts her off entirely. Sam is struggling to keep herself and her family afloat. Now Nisha's got nothing and Sam's walking tall in a pair of Louboutins that catch eyes – and give her career an unexpected boost. Except Nisha wants her life back - and she'll start with her shoes . . .  Our guest host for this conversation, Alex Clark, is a journalist and broadcaster often seen in the pages of the Guardian, the Times Literary Supplement and heard on BBC Radio 4. A wildly experienced interviewer and chair of live events, her recent guests include Kazuo Ishiguro, Tessa Hadley and Melissa Harrison. We hope you'll enjoy this podcast of the Instagram Live interview, and do keep your eyes peeled on our Insta for more Lives with your favourite authors this year!

James picks The Past by Tessa Hadley, a contemporary novel about family, place and the modern world encroaching upon the old; Jude recommends Border Country by Raymond Williams, a semi-autobiographical story of a man returning home to his small village on the Welsh borders, and how it's changed over a century; and Harriett loves A Summer Without Men by Siri Hustvedt, about a woman re-examining her life in after her husband's rejection.

Phyllis ist eine gute Hausfrau und Mutter, wir sind in den wilden 60er Jahren. Als der sehr junge Sohn einer befreundeten Familie sie im Übermut plötzlich küsst, erwacht eine Leidenschaft in ihr, die ihr ganzes bürgerliches Leben nicht nur ändert, sondern komplett beendet. Von Elke Heidenreich.

Adultery became the subject of some of the greatest European novels of the nineteenth century, including Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina. English novels of the period needed adultery for their plots, yet flinched from treating the subject openly.Through the twentieth century to the present – from Ulysses and A Handful of Dust to recent fiction by Zadie Smith, Tessa Hadley and Sally Rooney – adultery has fascinated novelists. Why is this? And do male and female authors treat adultery differently?A lecture by John MullanThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/adultery-novelGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

This Hallowe'en episode of Backlisted focusses on the collection of ‘uncanny' stories by Henry James, first gathered together under the title The Altar of the Dead and Other Tales to form the seventeenth volume of the New York Edition of his Collected Works in 1917. We are joined, as ever, by our resident spook-master Andrew Male, and by acclaimed novelist and Henry James aficionado Tessa Hadley. We each choose a story to present and read from - these are tackled in chronological order to better trace the evolution of James's famously dense and challenging late style . Before that Andy confesses his admiration for I Used to Live Here Once, Miranda Seymours' new biography of Jean Rhys and reads a short Jean Rhys ghost story, while John revisits Giving Up the Ghost, Hilary Mantel's haunting (and haunted) memoir. Timings: 5:49 - I Used to Live Here Once by Miranda Seymour 12:19 - Giving Up the Ghost by Hilary Mantel 19:38 - The Altar of the Dead and Other Tales by Henry James * If you'd like to purchase any of the books mentioned in this episode please visit our bookshop at https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/backlisted where all profits help to sustain this podcast and UK independent bookshops. * For more information about the show visit www.backlisted.fm * If you'd like to support the show and get extra bonus fortnightly episodes, become a Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/backlisted

Debutar en la novela a los 49 años, como ha hecho Eva Cruz, llama la atención, pero no tanto como hacerlo a los 70, como hizo la inglesa Mary Wesley, para convertirse en autora de catorce bestsellers, demostrando que para todo hay tiempo. La autora de "Veinte años de Sol" (editorial ADN) y redactora del Hoy por Hoy habla de cómo surgió la novela (un desprendimiento de retina, un mensaje de Manuel Martín-Loeches sobre neurotecnología, una obsesión con portales inmobiliarios...) y receta libros a colaboradores del programa, como Bob Pop, Jaime García-Cantero o el propio Loeches. Desfilan por su consulta grandes autores: Juan Gabriel Vásquez ("Volver la vista atrás" en Alfaguara), William Boyd ("Las aventuras de un hombre cualquiera" en Alfaguara), Christos Tsiolkas ("La bofetada", en RBA), Alan Pauls ("El pasado", en Anagrama), Hervé Letelier ("La anomalía", en Seix Barral), Ted Chiang ("Exhalación", en Sexto Piso), Margaret Atwood ("La trilogía de Maddaddam", en Salamandra), Maggie O'Farrell ("Hamnet", en Libros del Asteroide), Tessa Hadley ("Lo que queda de luz" y "Amor libre" en Sexto Piso) o Mary Wesley ("El césped de manzanilla", en Alba). 

Celebramos el Día Internacional de los Trabajadores hablando con Valentín Roma, autor de El capitalista simbólico (Ed. Periférica), una novela irónica y divertidísima sobre el desclasamiento de un joven de clase obrera que consigue medrar en la España de los noventa. Antes, leemos la primera página de Amor libre (Ed. Sexto piso), novela de la británica Tessa Hadley sobre la crisis matrimonial y de valores de una mujer en el Londres de finales de los sesenta. Además, nuestra oyente Ana nos habla de Una mujer en Berlín (Ed. Anagrama), diario anónimo de una víctima de la Segunda Guerra Mundial que ilustra la instrumentalización de la violencia sexual en los contextos bélicos y cuya lectura recomendamos que se complete con Una mujer en el frente (Ed. Periférica), testimonio de Alaine Polcz sobre el mismo tema. En su sección, Ignacio Elguero nos propone dos títulos: La vida es una carretera secundaria (Ed. Stendhal Books), un poemario de Alfonso Armada; y La biblioteca de fuego (Ed. Planeta), una novela de María Zaragoza.  Por su parte, Javier Lostalé nos trae Timandra (Ed. Galaxia Gutenberg), la nueva novela del reputado escritor griego Theodor Kallifatides, que rescata la figura de la famosa hetaira griega de la que toma su título con la intención de reflexionar sobre temas eternos como el amor, la belleza, la muerte y el papel de la mujer en la sociedad. Y para terminar, Mariano Peyrou también nos invita a mirar al pasado con el libro Fragmentos de Saadi (Ed. Pre- Textos), en el que el poeta y traductor Jorge Gimeno recupera y trabaja sobre los versos de este conocido poeta persa medieval. Escuchar audio

Author Tessa Hadley chats with Daniel Ford on the latest Friday Morning Coffee episode about her novel Free Love. National Library Week also gives Caitlin Malcuit an excuse to discuss the magic of libraries and librarians. She also talks about how libraries are woefully underfunded at the national level. #FundLibraries To learn more about Tessa Hadley, read her work in The New Yorker. Free Love was featured in February 2022's "Books That Should Be On Your Radar." Writer's Bone is proudly sponsored by Libro.fm, A Mighty Blaze podcast, and Write-Off with Francesca Steele.  

Tessa Hadley reads her story “After the Funeral,” from the March 28, 2022, issue of the magazine. Hadley has published eleven books of fiction, including the story collection “Bad Dreams and Other Stories, ” and the novel “Free Love,” which came out this year. She is a winner of the 2016 Windham-Campbell Literature Prize. 

Author Tess Hadley's new novel opens with an affair, but that's not really what the book is about. Free Love is set in the 1960s just outside of London and it starts with a wealthy woman in her 40s, Phyllis, sharing a secret kiss with a much younger man who is not her husband (gasp). The kiss has unintended consequences and Phyllis has to figure out what she really wants out of life. Hadley told NPR's Elissa Nadworny that being part of the bourgeois is not something she's familiar with, but she loves to write about it because she doesn't think that world exists anymore.

Science writer Florence Williams experienced what felt like a brain injury when her husband left her after more than 25 years together. So she decided to explore the connection between heartache and physical pain — including possible changes in the immune, digestive and nervous systems. Her new book is Heartbreak: A Personal and Scientific Journey.Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews Free Love, by Tessa Hadley.

Tessa Hadley is the author of six highly praised novels, Accidents in the Home, which was longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award, Everything Will Be All Right, The Master Bedroom, The London Train, Clever Girl and The Past, and three collections of stories, Sunstroke, Married Love and Bad Dreams. The Past won the Hawthornden Prize for 2016, and Bad Dreams won the 2018 Edge Hill Short Story Prize. She lives in London and is Professor of Creative Writing at Bath Spa University. Her stories appear regularly in the New Yorker and other magazines. Alexandr and Christine and Zachary and Lydia have been close friends since they first met in their twenties. Thirty years later Alex and Christine are spending a leisurely summer evening at home when they receive a call from a distraught Lydia. Zach is dead. In the wake of this profound loss, the three friends find themselves unmoored; all agree that Zach was the sanest and kindest of them all, the irreplaceable one they couldn't afford to lose. Inconsolable, Lydia moves in with Alex and Christine. But instead of loss bringing them closer, the three of them find over the following months that it warps their relationships, as old entanglements and grievances rise from the past, and love and sorrow give way to anger and bitterness. Late in the Day explores the tangled webs at the centre of our most intimate relationships, to expose how beneath the seemingly dependable arrangements we make for our lives lie infinite alternate configurations. Ingeniously moving between past and present and through the intricacies of her characters' thoughts and interactions, Tessa Hadley once again shows that she has ‘become one of this country's great contemporary novelists. She is equipped with an armoury of techniques and skills that may yet secure her a position as the greatest of them.' (Anthony Quinn Guardian) Recorded 17 September 2019
