Romanadaption • Am liebsten lückenlos würde Tristram Shandy seine Lebensgeschichte erzählen. Doch er wird immer wieder gestört: Vater Walter, kopflastig und autoritätsgläubig, beschwört allerlei Unglücksfälle herauf, Tristrams Onkel Toby taucht auf, ein ehemaliger Offizier, der im Gemüsegarten mit einer Spielzeugarmee Feldzüge nachstellt. Und noch weitere wunderliche Typen erscheinen, über die berichtet werden muss. "Tristram Shandy" gilt als erster moderner Roman. | Von Laurence Sterne | Mit Siemen Rühaak, Peter Capell, Karl Renar, Jan Groth, Pascal Breuer, Paul Bürks, Ruth Hellberg, Tilo Prückner, Ellen Mahlke, Hans Wyprächtiger, Traugott Buhre, Peter Seume, Curt Bock, Rita Leske, Grete Wurm, Herbert Rhom, Franz Kollasch, Hans-Jürgen Diedrich, Florian Beba, Margit Carls, Tillmann Braun, Heide Simon, Matthias Ponnier | Regie: Heinz von Cramer | BR 1986
The panel approaches the moment of Tristram's birth beginning with the author's preface (in book 3), followed by a definition of 'nose', and a series of mix-ups involving the words 'mortar' and 'bridge' with dire implications for the unhappy newborn.Continue reading
The panel concludes the second book and, in a series of retrograde manoeuvres, progresses through the third book until Dr. Slop is able to receive delivery of his forceps, free them from their knotted bag, and demonstrate their usage on Uncle Toby.Continue reading
Back in 2019, John spoke with the celebrated comic novelist Stephen McCauley. Nobody knows more about the comic novel than Steve--his latest is You Only Call When You're in Trouble, but John still holds a candle for his 1987 debut, Object of My Affection, made into a charming Jennifer Aniston Paul Rudd movie. And there is no comic novelist Steve loves better than Barbara Pym, a mid-century British comic genius who found herself forgotten and unpublishable in middle age, only to roar back into print in her sixties with A Quartet in Autumn. Steve and John's friendship over the years has been sealed by the favorite Pym lines they text back and forth to one another, so they are particularly keen to investigate why her career went in this way. In the episode, they talk about some of these favorite sentences from Pym, and then turn to the comic novel as a genre. They talk about the difference between humorous and comic writing, the earthiness of comedy, whether comic novels should have happy or sad endings, and whether the comic novel is a precursor to, or an amoral relief from, the sitcom. They also discuss some of Steve's fiction, including his Rain Mitchell yoga novels. In Recallable Books John recommends Pictures from an Institution by Randall Jarrell and Steve recommends After Claude by Iris Owens. Discussed in this episode: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, Laurence Sterne Vanity Fair, William Makepeace Thackeray Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain Jude the Obscure, Thomas Hardy “The Beast in the Jungle,” Henry James The Thurber Carnival, James Thurber The Group, Mary McCarthy After Claude, Iris Owens Pictures from an Institution, Randall Jarrell An Unsuitable Attachment, Barbara Pym Less than Angels, Barbara Pym The Sweet Dove Died, Barbara Pym Portnoy's Complaint, Philip Roth The Sellout, Paul Beatty My Ex-Life, Stephen McCauley You can listen here or read here.

The panel discusses book II, chapters 6–17 and Sterne's use of metanarrative focus on the correct art of oratory, the use of puns and textual elisions, the need to fill in details or leave them to readerly imagination, and the use of real-world sermons.Continue reading

Long before The Weave of US President Donald Trump there was Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy, a wild 18th-century classic from England via Ireland more known for its detours than the autobiography it pretends to be. The OG weave and rather cheeky.

He was formerly held a serious of business development functions in the Middle East and Europe and worked as an investment consultant.I have known Stephen for many years, and have always known about his fascinating backstory as an actor – and a performer in a one man show at that – Stephen starred in The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy. This seemed like a natural launch point for a discussion around the lessons learned through building a career as a successful actor, and in particular the skills needed to connect with a crowd when you are quite literally a “one man show”. Stephen describes the tactics of connecting with an audience, and a different audience every night, and the kind of rejection that hurt more than others. We move then to discuss OXC and the marketplace of the Middle East where he is now focused. We learn about asset allocation preferences, relationship building and the fast-moving dynamic of this region.This episode of the Fiftyfaces Podcast is proudly brought to you by bfinance—a trusted partner to the world's leading institutional investors.

What kind of satirist was Jane Austen? Her earliest writings follow firmly in the footsteps of Tristram Shandy in their deployment of heightened sentiment as a tool for satirising romantic novelistic conventions. But her mature fiction goes far beyond this, taking the fashion for passionate sensibility and confronting it with moneyed realism to depict a complex social satire in which characters are constantly pulled in different directions by romantic and economic forces. In this episode Clare and Colin focus on Emma as the high point of Austen's satire of character as revealed through conversational style, and consider how the world Austen was born into, of revolutionary thought and new money, shaped the moral and material universe of all her novels.Watch a further clip from this episode on youtube: https://youtu.be/wUNna8gw_6MColin Burrow and Clare Bucknell are both fellows of All Souls College, Oxford.Subscribe to Close Readings:Directly in Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3pJoFPqIn other podcast apps: lrb.me/closereadingsGet in touch: podcasts@lrb.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

'Tristram Shandy' was such a hit in its day that you could buy tea trays, watch cases and cushions decorated with its most famous characters and scenes. If much of the satire covered in this series so far has featured succinct and damning portrayals of recognisable city types, Sterne's comic masterpiece seems to offer the opposite: a sprawling and irreducible depiction of idiosyncratic country-dwellers that makes a point of never making its point. Yet many of the familiar satirical tricks are there – from radical shifts in scale to the liberal use of innuendo – and in this episode Clare and Colin look at the ways in which the novel stays true to the traditions of satire while drawing on Cervantes, Rabelais, Locke and the fashionable notion of ‘sentiment' to advance a new kind of nuanced social comedy.This is an extract from the episode.

Dirk Oschmann ist Literaturwissenschaftler und Autor. Dieses Jahr erschien sein Buch “Der Osten: eine westdeutsche Erfindung” und brachte den bis dahin nicht-öffentlichen Dirk Oschmann nicht nur in den Fokus einer breiten Öffentlichkeit und der Medien, sondern löste auch eine Debatte über die Diskriminierung ostdeutscher Menschen aus, die anhält. Das Buch polarisiert und er selbst nennt es gerne “einen polemischen Lang-Essay mit dem Zweck, den Finger in die Wunde zu legen”. Mich hat das Buch sehr beeindruckt und ich freue mich, dass ich mit ihm darüber sprechen konnte. Ich wollte von ihm wissen, warum er das dringende - um nicht zu sagen wütende - Bedürfnis gespürt hat, all das niederzuschreiben und natürlich, wie seine eigene Geschichte aussieht. Wir sprechen über die bis heute anhaltende Distanz zwischen Ost und West, es geht um die Abkehr von der Demokratie und um die Wurzeln wesentlicher inner-deutscher Probleme. Es ist ein sehr informatives Gespräch, bei dem ich selbst nach dem Lesen seines Buches noch etwas gelernt habe.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 24, 2023 is: hiatus • hye-AY-tus • noun In general contexts, hiatus usually refers to a period of time when something, such as an activity or program, is suspended. In biology, hiatus refers to a gap or passage in an anatomical part or organ, and in linguistics, it denotes the occurrence of two vowel sounds without pause or intervening consonantal sound. // The band has been on hiatus for three years, but is returning to live performance this summer. See the entry > Examples: “With the release of The Mandalorian season 3 just over six weeks away, after a two-year hiatus, Lucasfilm dropped a new trailer on Monday, giving us a glimpse of what's next in the adventures of Din Djarin and Grogu.” — Oli Welsh, Polygon.com, 16 Jan. 2023 Did you know? This brief hiatus in your day is brought to you by, well, hiatus. While the word now most often refers to a temporary pause, hiatus originally referred to a physical opening in something, such as the mouth of a cave, or, as the 18th century British novelist Laurence Sterne would have it, a sartorial gap: in the wildly experimental novel Tristram Shandy, Sterne wrote of “the hiatus in Phutatorius's breeches.” Hiatus comes from the Latin verb hiare, meaning “to open wide,” which makes it a distant relation of both yawn and chasm. And that's all we have for now—you may resume your regular activities.
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 16, 2023 is: paladin • PAL-uh-din • noun A paladin is a leading champion of a cause, or a trusted military leader (as for a medieval prince). // The keynote speaker is regarded as a paladin of environmental justice. // The prince summoned the paladin and commended him for his actions in battle. See the entry > Examples: “This collection of stories by one of England's best novelists is both playful and serious in the manner of Laurence Sterne, the 18th-century author of ‘Tristram Shandy.' ... Sterne was the master of the marginal, the random, the inconsequential. In our own day, David Foster Wallace, Geoff Dyer and Ali Smith have become the paladins of this goofy manner.” — Edmund White, The New York Times, 2 Dec. 2016 Did you know? Rome wasn't built in a day, and we know the site where it was founded: Palatine Hill (known as Palatium in Latin), site of the cave where Roman legend tells us Romulus and Remus were abandoned as infants, nursed by a she-wolf, and fed by a woodpecker before being found by a herdsman. In ancient Rome, the emperor's palace was located on the Palatine Hill; since the site was the seat of imperial power, Latin palatium came to mean “imperial” as well as “palace.” From palatium came Latin palatinus, also meaning “imperial” and later “imperial official.” Different forms of these words passed through Latin, Italian, and French, picking up various meanings along the way, and eventually some of those forms made their way into English, including paladin and palace.
Don Quixote is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes. Published in two volumes, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature and one of the earliest canonical novels, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published.The story follows the adventures of a hidalgo named Mr. Alonso Quixano who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story. Throughout the novel, Cervantes uses such literary techniques as realism, metatheatre, and surrealism. It had a major influence on the literary community, as evidenced by several references in Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers (1844), Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) and Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac (1897), as well as the word "quixotic" and the epithet "Lothario." Arthur Schopenhauer cited Don Quixote as one of the four greatest novels ever written, along with Tristram Shandy, La Nouvelle Héloïse and Wilhelm Meister.Translation by John Ormsby.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In our Season 5 wrap-up, we try to stir up a little controversy amongst Yr Worships's favorite book commies by rerunning Pilgrim's Progress as a series of debates about the Greatest Hits (™) from past pods. A fierce argument breaks out over whether we have to lose Tristram Shandy or Ulysses from our boat to make it through the Slough of Despond – until we remember some jackass put a crate of Lady Chatterley's Lover in the hold. Which Season 5 failchild will we use as a life raft? (Pierre, obv., he's pretty and buoyant what with entirely lacking a brain.) But never fear, we come together and make it to the Celestial City. Of communism. We're off for a couple months, comrades, but will see you in the spring for Season 6!
