¿Debe tener límites la literatura cuando se adentra en territorios de profundo dolor real? ¿Hasta qué punto pueden ir los autores si escriben sobre historias verdaderas? El disparador de estas preguntas es la decisión que tomó hace pocas semanas la editorial Anagrama de no publicar la novela "El Odio" del escritor español Luisgé Martín. La obra, que retrata al asesino José Bretón, un andaluz que en 2011 mató a sus dos hijos pequeños en un acto de venganza contra su expareja, había generado una fuerte expectativa en España, entre otras razones por los recursos legales que interpuso la madre de los niños, Ruth Ortiz, para bloquear el libro. La Justicia no dio lugar a esos reclamos pero, de todos modos, la editorial optó por rescindir el contrato con el autor y retirar el libro antes de su publicación. Entrevistado por RTVE de España, el autor del texto aseguró que nadie en su entorno le planteó que la madre de las víctimas fuera a parar el libro, dado que en su mirada es una obra en la que “la empatía está con las víctimas”. "Me sorprende y me escandaliza también más que un libro como este se prohíba y se censure. Creo que puede aportar al diálogo". No es, por supuesto, el primer libro que se acercó a “villanos” de la vida real. Podríamos recordar aquella obra maestra de la novela periodística, "A sangre fría", de Truman Capote, con su crónica sobre dos hombres que mataron a una familia entera. O, más cerca en el tiempo, "El adversario", del francés Emmanuel Carrère. Los dos libros fueron publicados en español, justamente, por la editorial Anagrama. ¿Es la literatura un espacio sin límites? ¿Todo debe ser publicable en nombre de la libertad de expresión?

The Strokes… Music’s coolest ‘The’ Band of the early 21st century. Along with Sweden’s The Hives, Australia’s The Vines, and Detroit’s The White Stripes - The Strokes almost certainly had no intention of getting looped into the phenomenon of wispy haired indie rock bands that all seemed to break out between the summers of 2001 and 2002; because - if we’re being honest - they didn’t exactly have what you might call an indie origin story. Formed in New York City in as early as 1997 by Frontman Julian Casablancas, Guitarist Nick Valensi and Drummer Fabrizio Moretti at the illustrious Dwight Private School (which lists Truman Capote and Paris Hilton as Alumni) the trio would quickly recruit friend Nikolai Fraiture to play bass with them, as well as Guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. in ‘98. Hammond Jr. had just relocated to New York from Los Angeles by way of Switzerland, where he was childhood friends with Julian Casablancas - at - you guessed it - an even more illustrious Private Boarding School. Within less than 3 years, The Strokes would completely re-define what it would mean to be a trendy modern rock band - and they did it mostly on the back of this hit single; This is the story of The Strokes Last Nite, with newly unearthed audio from the band!

por Yaiza Santos Tiene algunas objeciones a la manera en que el periódico trata la última información sobre el fiscal general del Estado. Veremos qué tan exitosa resulta la cuestión, para quién y qué significa el adjetivo que con tanta ligereza ha lanzado el juez Hurtado. Es posible, incluso probable, que en el paquete entregado por Google no solamente estén correos electrónicos sino todo tipo de documentos. ¡Impensable algo así hace treinta años! De algo está seguro: nadie, y mucho menos una autoridad pública, resiste a la exhibición pública de una semana de comunicaciones. A cuento de los muertos de los pasados días –Vargas Llosa, Francisco, Prenafeta–, Santos leyó el imprescindible decálogo sobre el género, que, dijo él, no estaría mal que se aplicara también a los vivos. El documental sobre Carrère en Filmin y lo ocurrido con Luisgé Martín le empujan a despotricar sobre el pensamiento literario, y a recordar lo que le contaba Sánchez Ferlosio. Vuelve a detectarlo en el discurso de Pombo al recibir el Cervantes, cargado del narcisismo de aquello que decía Michel Leiris, el choque de dos palabras. Este Pombo crepuscular, por otra parte, tan parecido a Léautaud, le lleva a hacerse una pregunta que le parece obligatoria para toda persona con vida pública: ¿cuándo retirarse? No es el momento, desde luego, para Pascal Bruckner, que se demuestra entero y lúcido. Elogió del francés la metáfora que usa para Occidente sobre la princesa y el guisante, la verdadera naturaleza victimista que detecta en Trump y, sobre todo, lo que observa sobre la víctima, nuevo héroe.

In honor of Felice Picano's gay literary legacy, I would like to re-feature my conversation with him that happened in April 2024. May you rest well Felice and thank you for all you did for gay rights. I'm joined with award winning author Felice Picano who was a key figure of the Greenwich Village literary community from the mid-1970s through the 1990s. He was one of the founders of the modern gay literature movement, particularly through his involvement with the literary salon the Violet Quill. He explains how Violet Quill came to be, and why he decided to co-found this literary society with six other gay writers in New York City, including Andrew Holleran and Edmund White. Their goal? To meet and give each other creative feedback at a time when gay literature wasn't being taken seriously at all. During his time in Greenwich Village's gay literary scene, Felice explains that he met many notable authors like Frank O'Hara, Allen Ginsberg, and yes even Truman Capote. In 1977, he founded Sea Horse Press, the country's first gay-oriented publishing house, and in 1981, he became editor-in-chief of The Gay Presses of New York. He continues to teach and write, and one day hopes that Hollywood matures enough to adapt more queer literature into films.You can find all of Felice's books here: ⁠https://www.felicepicano.net/⁠

Jorge Fernández Díaz, además nos ha donado dos libros que forman parte de sus lecturas: 'Música para camaleones' de Truman Capote (Anagrama) y 'El  Aleph'  de Jorge Luis Borges (DeBolsillo) . Antonio Martínez Asensio nos ha confesado, sin pudor, como debe ser, que está leyendo por primera vez 'El primer hombre' de Albert Camus (Tusquets) . Sí, nunca se avergüencen de no haber leído un libro porque entonces nunca lo leerán. También Martínez Asensio ha descubierto una editorial valenciana , Media Vaca, que ha enfocado sus publicaciones en la memoria y que tiene dos novedades impactantes : ''Cuentos sobre Alicante y Albatera' de Jorge Campos y 'La guerra ha terminado. Alicante 1939' (varios autores) . Son dos ediciones de lujo, espectaculares. Otras novedades las has traído el empleado de La Biblioteca Pepe Rubio que son: 'La vida suspendida' de Eduardo Laporte (Sr. Scott Libros) y 'Habitada' de Cristina Sánchez-Andrade (Anagrama) . El libro perdido en la redacción de la SER que esta semana ha recuperado Eva Cruz ha sido 'Explicaciones de fronteras inexplicables' de Francisco Llorens, Antonella Grossolano y Diego Briaño (Península) . Antonio Martínez Asensio nos anunció para su programa "un libro una hora" un clásico de Julio Verne 'La vuelta al mundo en 80 días' (Anaya). Y finalmente los oyentes nos donaron: 'Historia de dos ciudades' de Charles Dickens (Alba Editorial) , 'La frontera' de Erika Fatland (Tusquets) y 'El chavo del 8'  de Roberto Gómez Bolaños (Penguin)

Its rectangular shape was so influential that now, any similarly shaped watch can be generically referred to as a "tank." For those looking for a Cartier Tank alternative, we've put together this list of tank (and tank-adjacent) watches from ten top watchmakers.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

Written off as a mere courtesan and social climber, her true legacy was overshadowed by a glamorous social life and her infamous erotic adventures. Much of what she did behind the scenes – on both sides of the Atlantic - remained invisible and secret. That is, until now: with a wealth of fresh research, interviews and newly discovered sources, Sonia Purnell unveils for the first time the full, spectacular story of how she left an indelible mark on the world today. At age 20 Churchill's beloved daughter-in-law became a “secret weapon” during World War II, strategically wining, dining, and seducing diplomats and generals to help win over American sentiment (and secrets) to the British cause against Hitler. After the war, she helped to transform Fiat heir Gianni Agnelli into Italy's ‘uncrowned king' on the international stage and after moving to the US brought a struggling Democratic party back to life, hand-picking Bill Clinton from obscurity and vaulting him to the presidency. Picked as Ambassador to France, she deployed her legendary subtle powers to charm world leaders and help efforts to bring peace to Bosnia, playing her part in what was arguably the high-water mark of American global supremacy. There are few at any time who have operated as close to the center of power over five decades and two continents, and there is practically no one in 20th Century politics, culture, and fashion whose lives she did not touch, including the Kennedys, Truman Capote, Aly Khan, Kay Graham, Gloria Steinem, Ed Murrow, and Frank Sinatra.

Written off as a mere courtesan and social climber, her true legacy was overshadowed by a glamorous social life and her infamous erotic adventures. Much of what she did behind the scenes – on both sides of the Atlantic - remained invisible and secret. That is, until now: with a wealth of fresh research, interviews and newly discovered sources, Sonia Purnell unveils for the first time the full, spectacular story of how she left an indelible mark on the world today. At age 20 Churchill's beloved daughter-in-law became a “secret weapon” during World War II, strategically wining, dining, and seducing diplomats and generals to help win over American sentiment (and secrets) to the British cause against Hitler. After the war, she helped to transform Fiat heir Gianni Agnelli into Italy's ‘uncrowned king' on the international stage and after moving to the US brought a struggling Democratic party back to life, hand-picking Bill Clinton from obscurity and vaulting him to the presidency.

PLUS don't miss Jen and Amy's discussion about foods they ate as kids that they wouldn't dare touch now, and the cooking shows that first caught their attention as young wives and moms. * * * Thought-Provoking Quotes: “I think that we all need one person and we don't need a lot of people, just need one person who really believes in us. And fortunately for me, it was Jeffrey…He always made me feel like I was smart and I could accomplish anything I wanted to do with no reservations, no judgment. And it doesn't have to be a spouse. It can be a sister. It can be a teacher. It can be a parent. We all need to find that one person who really believes in us. At least that's my experience.” - Ina Garten “I think one of the things that we're always taught when we're young is; what are you going to be when you grow up? And you're not going to be one thing anymore. You're going to do something and it's going to lead to something else, and then it's going to lead to something else. If you decide when you're young what you're going to be and that's it, you're never going to learn anything. I think it's the twists and turns that are really interesting.” - Ina Garten Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Feed These People by Jen Hatmaker - https://shop.jenhatmaker.com/products/ftp-book Be My Guest with Ina Garten - https://bit.ly/3TvsfIx Be Ready When Luck Happens: A Memoir by Ina Garten - https://bit.ly/3ZndFqh Strapless: John Singer Sargent and the Fall of Madame X by Deborah Davis - https://bit.ly/3XPOo76 Party of the Century: The Fabulous Story of Truman Capote and His Black and White Ball by Deborah Davis - https://bit.ly/4gvQ6l6 The Oprah Winfrey Show: Reflections on an American Legacy - https://bit.ly/47r1QS1 Tina Turner: My Love Story - https://bit.ly/3Xu76j1 Ina Garten on 60 Minutes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REyYFeqEKZg An Unmarried Woman - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Unmarried_Woman Ina's Interview with John Grisham - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ9jYxkbm6s Guest's Links: Barefoot Contessa (Ina's Website) - https://barefootcontessa.com/ Ina's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/InaGarten Ina's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOlnd-2UlwJuWcnfEKt28yg Ina's Pinterest - https://br.pinterest.com/inaofficial/ Ina's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/inagarten/ Connect with Jen!
