Ya en el aire el septuagésimo tercer episodio de Cierra al libro al salir, el del jardín de los impostores. En él, os recomendamos diez libros que no hemos leído con el aplomo propio de un par de impostores y después jugamos a las adivinanzas literarias con muy poco éxito porque, aunque parezca que sabemos de libros, es todo impostura. ¡Ah!

This week, three artist interviews: Carsten Höller on his book of games, Takashi Murakami on his new work, and Valeria Luiselli and Leo Heiblum on their Dia sound installation. Höller is the author of a book featuring 336 games that can be played alone, in pairs or in groups, without any props. He tells Ben Luke about art and play and his perennial quest for unpredictability. Takashi Murakami has been in London this week for the opening of his exhibition, Japanese Art History à la Takashi Murakami, at Gagosian. We speak to him about the show and his fascination with the television series Shōgun. And this episode's Work of the Week is Echoes from the Borderlands, a sound installation created by Valeria Luiselli, Ricardo Giraldo and Leo Heiblum, which was unveiled at Dia Chelsea in New York this week. Valeria and Leo join us to tell us more about the project.Book of Games by Carsten Höller, edited by Stefanie Hessler and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Taschen, 760 pp, £40 or $50 (hb)Japanese Art History à la Takashi Murakami, Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London, until 8 March 2025.Echoes from the Borderlands: Study Two, Dia Chelsea, New York, until 1 March 2025.

Por uma vez, e contrariando o Bowie, podíamos deixar de ser heróis, ou, pelo menos, de representar a realidade de forma anã para nos fazer sobressair. Contudo, às vezes parece ser esta que se encolhe ou retira, que se esquiva das nossas representações. Neste consumo constante de lendas pessoais, de fanfarronadas e galhardias histriónicas, estamos a perder todo o tesão por esse ideal de vivermos embrulhados uns com outros. "O coração é uma arte difícil", assinalava algures José Amaro Dionísio, adiantando que, tirando essa proximidade conquistada a palmo, "tudo o resto é a crédito". Em tempos, no alfabeto que compôs para a nossa dor comum, ele vincava como "solidão é uma palavra obscena"... "É mesmo a única palavra irremediavelmente obscena de que já ouvi falar. Cheira a atropelos, pudor, colhões, e tenho medo." Este medo vive por estes dias embriagado, numa exuberância ridícula, fazendo um espectáculo de si mesmo. É uma forma de disenteria, e se antes as pessoas estavam sempre a morrer disso, hoje cagam-se até morrer exibindo-o como podem, alguns maçando meio mundo, outros em publicações nas redes sociais. Mirando à volta, qualquer uma dessas manifestações exprimem um estado de dependência, e seria realmente muito extraordinário se dos milhares de emissões que concorrem entre si na esfera virtual resultasse uma harmonia perfeita. Seria espantoso se de tudo isso resultasse uma satisfação qualquer, em vez de ser um modo de cada um se individuar enquanto protagonista de uma telenovela pindérica, quando não se preparou para mais do que fazer trabalhos ocasionais como figurante. Mas continuamos nisto, e com todos estes heroísmos patéticos estamos a dar cabo numa só época do prestígio que a raça foi constituindo para si no cultivo dessas fabulosas injúrias contra nós mesmos. Valeria Luiselli, numa das páginas do seu "Deserto Sonoro", confessa que não tem um diário, que os seus diários são as coisas que sublinha nos livros de outros. "Jamais emprestaria um livro a quem quer que fosse depois de o ler. Sublinho demasiado, às vezes páginas inteiras, às vezes duplamente." Estamos necessitados de gente que viva as suas vidas como um imenso plágio, lendo em voz alta, até ganhar uma tal naturalidade que quem quer que viesse para um debate sem um bom argumento ensaiado ao espelho ou em frente ao gato, aos catos, horrizando a vizinhança, fosse apupado até desaparecer de cena. Por uma vez que deixássemos de ter de aturar esses improvisos tacanhos e simplórios, toda essa gaguez e pigarreio, todo esse visco dos lugares-comuns que andam por aí sempre requentados. Este ajustamento permanente a modas passageiras e aos significantes das redes sociais lembra o aviso de Hannah Arendt: "Os clichés, as frases feitas, a adesão a códigos estereotipados e convencionais de expressão e comportamento têm a função socialmente reconhecida de nos proteger da realidade, ou seja, da exigência de atenção que todos os acontecimentos e factos, pela simples razão de existirem, apresentam ao nosso pensamento." Estamos a apagar o mundo com esses solilóquios desgraçados, com essa exibição constante nesta feira de aberrações fastidiantes. Melhor seria dar expressão ao assombro expansivo de um leitor, montando um guião a partir dos materiais mais diversos, tudo mastigado, esse resplendor efémero das coisas que provocaram em nós uma rara emoção, cada frase revista mil vezes, boa parte delas memorizadas, transcritas para todo o lado. Num tempo em que o decoro deu lugar aos derrames e eflúvios mais desgastantes, a espontaneidade deve despontar de um trabalho minucioso, colossal. O elemento essencial que eleva um palco é a exigência de quem quer que esteja a assistir. Não existe teatro sem esse elemento cruel, essa possibilidade de se ser arrasado ao representar uma cena. Devíamos realmente fazer do mundo um palco, em vez desta odiosa sala de espera, este pardieiro onde permanecemos sentados enquanto o nosso rabo incha a caminho da meia-idade, e depois dessa outra onde já nem falamos de outra coisa. E todas estas zonas e regimes da cultura assentam no princípio da inércia. Luiselli diz-nos que também frequentou a universidade, ainda que por pouco tempo. Perdeu a paciência para os professores com a sua "linguagem alimentada a anfetaminas, críptica, rizomática e absolutamente cheia de si". Vivemos enredados entre a selvajaria e estas zonas onde a sofisticação intelectual significa sempre alguma forma de compromisso com vista a neutralizar toda a acção transformadora. Talvez se soubéssemos de cor as palavras que realmente gostaríamos de dizer, e a vida mais não fosse do que buscar a ocasião propícia a cada cena, talvez então não fosse tudo tão inócuo. Neste episódio, Mariana Pinho, entre as aulas de História numa escola no Monte da Caparica, as raves de música electrónica no meio de bosques com bruxaria de ordem química à mistura, e teses sobre a vida das plantas, as florestas e o diabo a sete, veio falar connosco sobre este tempo congelado em que vivemos, e os laços que ainda são possíveis em termos afectivos e solidários, modos de organização colectiva experimental que possam permitir-nos emergir dos destroços em que vivemos imersos.

This episode we're discussing the genre of Law & Legal Non-Fiction (for the layperson)! We talk about how so much of our lives are affected by laws, the challenges of reading (and understanding) legal non-fiction, and whether a whale is a fish.

Ser migrante se ha vuelto una condición humana que implica dificultades que ninguna persona tendría que pasar, pues la mayoría de quienes emigran tienen que irse de su lugar de origen por la guerra, la violencia, los desastres naturales o en busca de nuevas oportunidades. En este episodio, Paola Famitzaí nos explica este concepto y nos incita a reflexionar a través de algunos audios de Descarga Cultura.UNAM.

En el episodio 7 de Cable a Tierra se habla de literatura pero más bien se habla de amor y de amistad. Valeria y Tania son amigas de la infancia y se toman este espacio para ponerse al día sobre su vida y sus relaciones actuales. Valeria Luiselli nació en la ciudad de México y creció en Costa Rica, Corea del Sur, Sudáfrica e India. Aclamada escritora de ficción y no ficción, es autora de Los Niños Perdidos, Papeles Falsos, La Historia de Mis Dientes y Los Ingrávidos.

Ese mismo año Valeria recibió la beca de la Fundación MacArthur por “desafiar las nociones convencionales de autoría en ficción, ensayos e híbridos inventivos de ambos, que plantean preguntas profundas sobre las diversas formas en que reconstruimos historias y documentamos las vidas de los demás.” Su trabajo se ha publicado en más de 30 idiomas y ha aparecido en The New Yorker, The New York Times, Granta y McSweeney's, entre otras publicaciones. Es profesora en Bard College y Harvard University. Es mamá de Maia y de Lia.Síguenos en Instagramhttp://instagram.com/cableatierrapodhttp://instagram.com/tanialicious Hosted on Acast.

La biblioteca pública Bjorvika de Oslo acoge el décimo libro de la autora Valeria Luiselli que estará disponible dentro de 100 años

City Lights LIVE and Litquake celebrate the final issue of John Freeman's distinguished journal “Freeman's: Conclusions,” published by Grove Atlantic, with John Freeman, joined by Jaime Cortez, Elaine Castillo, and Oscar Villaon. Over the course of ten years, “Freeman's" has introduced the English-speaking world to countless writers of international import and acclaim, from Olga Tokarczuk to Valeria Luiselli, while also spotlighting brilliant writers working in English, from Tommy Orange to Tess Gunty. Now, in its last issue, this unique literary project ponders all the ways of reaching a fitting conclusion. For Sayaka Murata, keeping up with the comings and goings of fashion and its changing emotional landscapes can mean being left behind, and in her poem “Amenorrhea,” Julia Alvarez experiences the end of the line as menopause takes hold. Yet sometimes an end is merely a beginning, as Barry Lopez meditates while walking through the snowy Oregonian landscapes. While Chinelo Okparanta's story “Fatu” confronts the end of a relationship under the specter of new life, other writers look towards aging as an opportunity for rebirth, such as Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, who takes on the role of being her own elder, comforting herself in the ways that her grandmother used to. Finally, in his comic story “Everyone at Dinner Has a Max von Sydow Story,” Dave Eggers suggests that sometimes stories don't have neat or clean endings—that sometimes the middle is enough. John Freeman is the founder of the literary annual “Freeman's” and the author and editor of ten books, including “Dictionary of the Undoing,” “The Park,” “Tales of Two Planets,” “The Penguin Book of the Modern American Short Story,” and, with Tracy K. Smith, “There's a Revolution Outside,” “My Love”. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, and Orion, and been translated into over twenty languages. The former editor of Granta, he lives in New York City, where he teaches writing at NYU and is an executive editor at Alfred A. Knopf. Jaime Cortez is a writer and visual artist based in Watsonville, California. His fiction, essays, and drawings have appeared in diverse publications that include “Kindergarde: Experimental Writing For Children,” “No Straight Lines,” a 40-year compendium of LGBT comics, “Street Art San Francisco,” and “Infinite Cities,” an experimental atlas of San Francisco. He wrote and illustrated the graphic novel “Sexile” for AIDS Project Los Angeles in 2003. “Gordo” is Jaime's debut collection of short stories, and was published by Grove Atlantic to national acclaim in 2021. Jaime received his BA in Communications from the University of Pennsylvania, and his MFA from UC Berkeley. Elaine Castillo, named one of “30 of the planet's most exciting young people” by the Financial Times, was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her debut novel “America Is Not the Heart” was named one of the best books of 2018 and has been nominated for the Elle Award, the Center for Fiction Prize, the Aspen Words Prize, the Northern California Independent Booksellers Book Award, and the California Book Award. Her essay collection “How To Read Now” was published to wide acclaim in July 2022, and was chosen as the September pick for Roxane Gay's Audacious Book Club, among others. Her latest longform essay on grief, dog rescue and the politics of dog training is forthcoming this fall from Scribd. She is currently working on her second novel, to be published in late 2024/early 2025. Oscar Villalon is the editor of “ZYZZYVA." His work has been published in The Believer, Freeman's, VQR, Stranger's Guide, Alta, and many other publications. He lives with his wife and son in San Francisco.

Prolific author Dave Eggers, founder of McSweeney's, co-founder of 826 National, and other significant projects, first met Micheal Silverblatt in 2000, upon the publication of his first book –– a critically acclaimed memoir whose title he calls, "obnoxious." They formed a friendship over 22 years of conversation. This episode, the third in a series to examine what novelist Russell Banks called the Story of America, is guest-hosted by Eggers. We'll hear excerpts of Bookworm shows that discuss this story from E.L. Doctorow, Valeria Luiselli, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Gore Vidal.

Céline Huyghebaert est autrice, artiste visuelle et chercheuse postdoctorale. Son travail se situe à l'intersection des arts visuels, du documentaire et de la fiction. En 2019, elle fait paraître Le drap blanc au Quartanier, qui remportera le prix du gouverneur général. Initialement livre d'artiste tiré à 130 exemplaires en 2017, Le drap blanc est un projet singulier où on retrouve des retranscriptions d'entretiens, des archives numérisées, des fragments de fictions et de souvenirs. Durant l'entretien, je reviens sur Le drap blanc avec Céline, mais aussi sur d'autres de ses projets interdisciplinaires comme Un cas particulier et De tous nos corps. Pour notre rencontre, je lui ai demandé d'apporter un extrait du manuscrit sur lequel elle travaille et de mentionner une référence importante durant son processus d'écriture. Par courriels, elle me mentionne Sarah Polley, Chris Kraus et Valeria Luiselli. Le jour de notre rencontre, elle avait finalement apporté des livres de Valeria Luiselli.

En este episodio, se habla de la íntima relación que puede existir entre las obras de arte y la vida misma cuando sus protagonistas ponen en escena sus propias experiencias.Lola Arias es una artista argentina residente en Berlín. Su obra se ha desarrollado orgánicamente entre los campos del cine, el teatro, la literatura y las artes visuales. Sus proyectos se han caracterizado por reenactments que parten de fenómenos políticos y las biografías de sus protagonistas, con el fin de provocar importantes reflexiones sobre temas como la migración, la violencia estatal y el pasado histórico de Chile y Argentina. En 2018 estrenó en el Forum de la Berlinale su primer largometraje Teatro de guerra, una obra que forma parte de un proyecto artístico con el que suscitó el encuentro de antiguos enemigos argentinos e ingleses de la Guerra de las Malvinas.Por otro lado, Valeria Luiselli es una reconocida escritora mexicana, cuya obra se ha inspirado en su propia biografía, las fronteras lingüísticas y una gran preocupación por las políticas migratorias de los Estados Unidos, país en el que reside actualmente. Además de hacer referencia a grandes autores de la literatura mundial, sus obras de ficción y no ficción se centran en reflexiones en torno a la lengua y a los procesos de escritura, evidenciando así la palabra como un dispositivo para documentar la realidad.Lola y Valeria se reúnen para hablar del cine, el teatro y la literatura como medios para dar forma a relatos individuales y colectivos.

Von den 552 republikanischen Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten, die bei den Kongresswahlen im November antreten, sind 201 sogenannte "election denier". Sie glauben nicht an die legitime Wahl Joe Bidens zum US-Präsidenten. Oder behaupten das zumindest öffentlich. Sie verbreiten in ihren lokalen und regionalen Wahlkämpfen die Lüge von der gestohlenen Wahl 2020. Das hat die Plattform "FiveThirtyEight" recherchiert und dokumentiert. Demnach haben außerdem 61 weitere Kandidaten zumindest Fragen nach der Legitimität von Bidens Präsidentschaft aufgeworfen. Und so überrascht es wenig, dass unterschiedlichen Umfragen zufolge eine Mehrheit der Republikaner glaubt, dass Trump die Wahl gestohlen wurde. Und: Immer mehr Bürgerinnen und Bürger, Demokraten wie Republikaner, zweifeln an der Demokratie ihres Landes. Welche anderen Faktoren außerdem eine Gefahr für die US-Demokratie darstellen und wie groß diese Gefahr ist, diskutieren wir im US-Podcast. Außerdem: Basiert die Gründung der Vereinigten Staaten nicht ohnehin auf Ungerechtigkeiten und ist damit fehlerhaft? Und gab es nicht in der Geschichte schon häufiger Momente, in denen das System vor dem Scheitern stand? Im "Get-out": das Buch "Lost Children Archive" von Valeria Luiselli und Miami Beach's Ocean Drive, das Il Dante Caffee Ecke 8th Street und alte "Miami-Vice"-Folgen Der Podcast erscheint alle zwei Wochen donnerstags, die nächste Folge am 6.

Forrest Gander, Christina MacSweeney, Megan McDowell, Achy Obejas, Nathan Scott McNamara To translate an author's work—staying faithful to their vision, style, and message, in a language not their own—is to assume an awesome responsibility: one that hasn't always gotten its just due as an art form. Four of today's most noteworthy and acclaimed translators of Latin American contemporary literature will shed light on the origins, rewards, pitfalls, and complexities of their discipline. Christina MacSweeney, a recipient of the Valle Inclan prize, has translated the works of leading Spanish-language authors including Valeria Luiselli, Jazmina Barrera, and Elvira Navarro. Megan McDowell, who received the English PEN award and whose works in translation have been nominated four times for the International Booker Prize, has translated many of the most important Latin American authors working today, including Samanta Schweblin, Alejandro Zambra, and Mariana Enriquez. Havana-born translator Achy Obejas, who has worked with Wendy Guerra, Rita Indiana, Junot Díaz, and Megan Maxwell, is also the author of a recent collection of poetry written in a mostly gender-free Spanish and English. And Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Forrest Gander, also a renowned translator, will share insights from his distinguished career. Find out why translation is a journey of never-ending discovery, creativity, and lessons in cross-cultural sensitivity and communication.Sponsored by the Center for the Art of Translation.

According to Jody Rosen, a contributing writer for The New York Times, we live on a bicycle planet. Across the world, more people use bicycles — for transportation, recreation, and their livelihood — than any other vehicle. In his new book, Two Wheel Goods: The History and Mystery of the Bicycle, Rosen attempts to "de-quaintify" the bike, from its invention in 1817 to its current status as a virtuous machine that can save cities and the environment. Spanning centuries and hopping continents, Two Wheels Good weaves connections between various bike booms and asks readers to consider an expansive and inclusive definition of "bicycle culture."

Més de vint anys després de l'últim esforç per donar a conèixer als lectors portuguesos una antologia de poesia catalana, Resistir ao Tempo. Antologia de poesia catalã és un nou impuls per promocionar un univers ple de veus singulars.

„Warum bist du in die USA gekommen?“ Dies ist die erste Frage im Aufnahmefragebogen für Kinder ohne Papiere, die alleine die Grenze überqueren. Den Fragebogen benutzt man im Bundesgericht für Einwanderungsfragen, wo ich seit einiger Zeit als Übersetzerin arbeite. Meine Aufgabe ist es, die Aussagen von Kindern, die von Abschiebung bedroht sind, vom Spanischen ins Englische zu übersetzen.“

Frase Galway Kinnel que encontré en el libro Desierto Sonoro de Valeria Luiselli.

Show Notes and Links to Rowena Galavitz's Work and Allusions/Texts from Episode 46         On Episode 46, Pete talks with Rowena Galavitz about her varied and engrossing interests, including literature and arts of many kinds. The two delve deep into Rowena's vocation as an editor and translator, as Rowena shares some of her translations, as well as her process for doing said translation.         Rowena Galavitz worked as a typesetter/proofreader in New York City in the 80s, when she created art books for museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and educational books for publishers such as Scholastic and while she enjoyed the art and punk rock scene of the city. When she moved to Oaxaca, Mexico, she edited, translated, or oversaw the production of coffee table art books and art catalogues about Mexican art. In Mexico City, she worked as a subtitle editor doing closed captioning for films and TV series. In the literary world, her experience includes the translation of Latin American short stories and poetry. Some of her poetry translation won a World Literature Today Prize in 2018. In her current editing and translation work, she focuses broadly on the arts and humanities and specifically on contemporary Mexican and early modern Spanish culture.           Enthusiastic and knowledgeable about literary and religious texts in the early modern world, her scholarly pursuits about women writing in Spanish have entailed archival research in Mexico and Spain, which resulted in a master's thesis on Hipólita de Jesús (1551-1624), a Barcelona nun who wrote over twenty books. Her archival research in Peru manifested in multiple presentations on a collage by Rosa de Lima (1586-1617), about which she is currently writing a journal article. Her theoretical interests include gender and sexuality, intersectional feminism, and translation theory.        She has taught classes at the university level in English as a Second Language, English composition, and Intermediate Spanish. And she has developed syllabi on courses such as: Women Who Wrote: Literature and Religion in the Premodern World, The Long History of the End of the World, and Radical Women. She loves to teach students about how language and literature work, and she is particularly at ease when she teaches about a wide range of texts on a single theme from different historical periods.       Parallel to her editorial and educational work, she created literature-inspired art in a variety of media for three decades, mostly in Mexico, where she held five one-woman exhibits, and she participated in over 60 group shows.    At around 4:55, Rowena talks about growing up in a small town, and her grandparents' influence on her, as they were big patrons of the library; Rowena also talks about the artistic sensibility that has been with her from an early age   At around 6:20, Rowena talks about how her Spanish learning and interest blossomed   At around 8:30, Rowena talks about her days living, researching, translating, learning, and creating in Oaxaca and México City   At around 11:30, Rowena talks about writers who have thrilled her through the years, including Richard Wright and his Native Son, A Journal of The Plague Year by Daniel DeFoe, Valeria Luiselli's Tell Me How it Ends, Merce Redoreda's Mirall Trencat, and Manuel Astur's San, El Libro de los Milagros.   At around 14:40, Rowena talks about her schedule as a translator/editor   At around 16:05, Rowena talks about the process, art, and science of translating and the “decisions” she makes   At around 22:15, Rowena talks about how she researches and uses historical context in her translation, including things that may not match up with 2021's societal norms   At around 26:30, Rowena talks about balancing the different forms of spoken Spanish as she does her translations   At around 29:00, Rowena talks about some of her favorite genres to work with in translation   At around 31:00, Rowena talks about how she reads other translator's work and working with closed captioning and subtitles   At around 33:10, Rowena talks about the Catalan language and her learning of the language    At around 35:00, Pete and Rowena read an excerpt of the English and Spanish translation done by Rowena of “La Ciudad Lucía” by Paula Ilabaca Nuñez, also discussing Rowena's thought process in doing the translation as she highlights alliteration, enjambments, etc.    At around 41:15, Rowena talks about her future projects, including translating some work by the great Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and Elena Poniatowska and Javier Sicilia   At around 43:00, Pete and Rowena talks about the subtleties of “tú” and “Ud.” and its peculiarities in translation as seen in the great story by Juan Rulfo, “No Oyes Ladrar los Perros”-check out Pete's earlier episode about this story   You can now subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, and leave me a five-star review.

This week, Meena interviews Valeria Luiselli, an author and essayist who has chronicled the journeys of unaccompanied children from Central America to the United States in her 2017 essay, “Tell Me How It Ends” and her 2019 novel, “Lost Children Archive.” We talk about finding inspiration for her writing, how translation plays a role in her books, and what she imagines her future writing will look like.

An amazing teacher has the power to change children's lives and open doors to a brighter future. With knowledge, empathy and creativity a teacher can design the type of learning that brings the best out of their students. Stephen Haff is one such teacher who went beyond the classroom to creating a magical sanctuary for learning. Stephen founded Still Waters in a Storm, a one-room school in Brooklyn, New York, in 2008. Stephen's approach to teaching and learning at Still Water incorporates his experiences as a teacher, his passion for language and theater, as well as what he learned in his personal journey to overcome depression. The school is for children aged 6 to 17 and many are children of undocumented Mexican and Ecuadorean refugees. The curriculum revolves around reading classic novels, such as Milton's Paradise Lost, and translating it into present-day vernacular. The students learn to translate Latin, read complex texts, create a play, build empathy and confidence, and so much more. Stephen also invites many famous authors – among them Salman Rushdie, Valeria Luiselli, George F. Walker, Mary Gaitskill, and Michael Ondaatje – who visit the school to read their own work and help the students with their own writing projects. This unique school, where the only rule is, “everyone listens to everyone” is an example of teaching to the whole child. Stephen beautifully tells the story of what the experience of attending Still Waters is like, as well as how he came to create the school, in his new book, Kid Quixotes: A group of students, their teacher, and the one-room school where everything is possible.

Episode 36 features Valeria Luiselli's "Faces in the Crowd," a novella we loved and can't recommend enough. Our discussion includes a bit of her non-fiction, especially her essay "Relingos," as well as various interviews in which she shares her approach to writing and structure. Luiselli allows shifts in point of view and temporality to intermingle and eventually blend together in a story of a writer writing of her days obsessing over a poet in New York City. The novella is both dark and funny, and subtly deals with the way in which our pasts integrate and thus disintegrate our presents, and how identities shapeshift when lost in foreign lands and art. Episode 36 concludes our miniseries on Mexican authors, but rest assured it shall be continued! Let us know what you thought of the episode and the novella via social media, or email us at thecasualacademic@gmail.com. Stay casual, Alex & Jake

This month Jess talks to the Mexican author Valeria Luiselli about her most recent novel "The Lost Children Archive", a bold and wise book which is as much about protecting our children, and being children ourselves, as it is about the horrors of the refugee experience, as currently seen around the US-Mexico border. 'The Lost Children' archive is also fascinating in the way it deals with recordings of reality and everyday experience, including sounds. We talk to Valeria about the sounds which surrounded her during night-time sessions writing the book, finishing up with a sound experiment of our own. Hosted by Jessica Johannesson with music by The Bookshop Band If you like the sound of 'The Lost Children Archive' take a look at this reading list for more reading suggestions.

“Literature is not the same thing as publishing. We're in the literature business and publishing is one thing that we do.” Chris Fischbach talks about taking over leadership of an organization, the health of print and the challenge of getting someone to actually purchase a specific book.
