Para el autor su idea de la felicidad es conversar, le molesta mucho de sí mismo su torpeza, comenta por su desayuno que no es muy tempranero, y también su admiración por Virginia Woolf. Miente solo en situaciones de extrema necesidad, además se siente de su edad (73 años), lo hace enojar la traición, y su mayor lujo es oir música.

‘He stood still in the gloom of the hall, trying to catch the air that the voice was singing and gazing up at his wife. There was grace and mystery in her attitude as if she were a symbol of something.' A special episode this week, as we join Sally in conversation with James Bowen, the podcast's producer and a fellow teacher of literature. Listen for a conversation on the role of objects in narratives, and the way in which characters reduce one another to symbols in modernist literature, ranging across Joyce's short story ‘The Dead' (1904) to Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927). You can find out more about James and his work here. Alice Jolly's novel, The Matchbox Girl, discussed near the end of the episode is forthcoming with Bloomsbury, and is available to pre-order from all good booksellers. The wonderful piano music in the closing section is ‘Monday', by Paul Seba. You can listen to more of his work here. This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen. Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus. A note on the sound: We are still experimenting with this format, and apologise that the sound levels are a touch more uneven than normal. As such, you may need to set the volume at a slightly higher level than you normally might when playing this episode!

For the latest, and last, of this year's Scots Whay Hae! Fringe Preview podcasts Ali spoke to musician and storyteller Kirsty Law about her show Scotland Unsung, which is going to be at the Scottish Storytelling Centre on the Royal Mile from the 20th-24th August.Kirsty talks about the structure of the show, why she picked the songs she has, the happy accident of having an Edinburgh focus, the influence of Virginia Woolf's classic novel Orlando: A Biography, and why she considers The Scottish Storytelling Centre a home from home.The two also discuss the chequered and complex history of how Scottish ballads and songs have been regarded over the years (and why), and look at perceptions of Scottish culture more widely.It's always a pleasure to talk to Kirsty Law, and this conversation should whet your appetite for what sounds like a magical musical show, one which looks at the rich tradition of Scottish folk music, songs, and stories, with a fresh eye.For full details, including all the ways to listen, head over to scotswhayhae.com

Forster confessed he would have married her, if only she had been a boy.The book that uncovers these fascinating insights is A Voyage Around the Queen by the very clever and very funny Craig Brown and in this episode, Charlie and Craig talk about this and his other works.

İslâm gerçekten kadınları sınırlar mı, yoksa bizler tarihsel örfleri vahiy zannederek mi hareket ediyoruz?Nas–örf ayrımı, mahremsiz yolculuk hadisleri, “Akikada kız çocuklarına iki kurban mı bir kurban mı?” tartışması, Peygamber Efendimiz'in (sas) döneminde kadının yeri gibi birçok başlığı tek bir bölümde masaya yatırdık.

Michelle de Kretser was born in Sri Lanka and lives in Australia on unceded Gadigal land. She writes fiction but has also published a short book about Shirley Hazzard's work. Theory & Practice, her seventh novel, recently won Australia's Stella Prize for writing by women. Theory and Practice is set in 1986, when “beautiful, radical ideas” are in the air. Its narrator is a young woman originally from Sri Lankan who arrives in Melbourne for graduate school to research the novels of Virginia Woolf. In the bohemian neighborhood of St. Kilda she meets artists, activists, students—and Kit. He claims to be in a “deconstructed relationship.” They become lovers, and the narrator's feminism comes up against her jealousy. Meanwhile, an entry in Woolf's diary upends what the narrator knows about her literary idol, and throws her own work into disarray. What happens when our desires run contrary to our beliefs? What should we do when the failings of revered figures come to light? Who is shamed when the truth is told? Michelle de Kretser's new novel offers a spellbinding meditation on the moral complexities that arise in the gap between our values and our lives. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textAuthor Roland Allen joins Joe for a deep-dive into his book, The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper, and the surprising legacy of one of humanity's most powerful tools: the humble notebook.Whether it's a green notebook in your cargo pocket, Leonardo da Vinci's sketches, or a modern writer's Moleskine, notebooks have shaped how people think, learn, and lead for centuries.

Lella Toscano"Hostal Levante"Apogeo Editorewww.rembweb.ittLeda è una donna di cinquantaquattro anni: una donna libera, attraente, che rifugge legami troppo impegnativi e relazioni stabili. Nella sua vita, l'eros si è gradualmente trasformato in una sorta di ossessione e ha finito per occupare un posto peculiare: la sessualità è diventata così – per lei – un mezzo per sconfiggere il fluire del tempo, mantenersi giovani, accedere ad una dimensione libera e totale dell'esistenza. Come ogni estate, Leda si recherà in Andalusia, nella “sua” Tarifa, una terra calda e avvolta dal vento tra due mari: qui conosce Lucia, un'artista di strada, e da questo incontro tra due potenti figure femminili nascerà qualcosa di nuovo e inatteso.Lella Toscano è nata nel 1966, vive e lavora a Rovigo, ama scrivere e viaggiare.

No-one can fail to notice how many statues of Great Men there are around London: stern politicians, military generals, imperial adventurers . . . But what about women? As shown by Juliet Rix in London's Statues of Women (SafeHaven Books, 2025), women are surprisingly well represented amongst London's statues. Recent years have seen new statues of Virginia Woolf in Richmond, Mary Wollstonecraft in Stoke Newington, even boxer Nicola Adams in Brent. But there are also groundbreaking statues commemorating the Black community, notably the two of Brixton resident Joy Battick on its railway station platforms. And you'll find historical figures from Florence Nightingale to Joan of Arc and Edith Cavell – as well as Twiggy. And how many ballet dancers are commemorated, and where? And which famous tennis player was the unlikely model for the young girl with dolphin by Tower Bridge? This is a book that really will make you see London in a new way. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

"We all need to have radical hope. I have my really hopeless days too, but… it's such a privilege to get to live and to survive. Our job is to live, and I think that's a really amazing thing.” - Jasmine WargaWe all want to make the most of our time here. Not just survive, but dream big and live fully. For Jasmine Warga, that means carrying forward the strength of those before her while creating space for joy, curiosity, and self-discovery.

“Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself”: So reads one of the great opening lines in British literature, the first sentence of Virginia Woolf's classic 1925 novel, “Mrs. Dalloway.”The book tracks one day in the life of an English woman, Clarissa Dalloway, living in post-World War I London, as she prepares for, and then hosts, a party. That's pretty much it, as far as the plot goes. But within that single day, whole worlds unfold, as Woolf captures the expansiveness of human experience through Clarissa's roving thoughts. On this week's episode, Book Club host MJ Franklin discusses it with his colleagues Joumana Khatib and Laura Thompson.Other books mentioned in this episode:“The Passion According to G.H.,” by Clarice Lispector“A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing,” by Eimear McBride“The Lesser Bohemians,” by Eimear McBride“To the Lighthouse,” by Virginia Woolf“Orlando,” by Virginia Woolf“A Room of One's Own,” by Virginia Woolf“The Hours,” by Michael Cunningham“Headshot,” by Rita Bullwinkel“Tilt,” by Emma Pattee Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

Don't miss today's conversation with Robert Macfarlane. A polyvocal deep dive into the mysteries of words and rivers, of speech acts as spells, whorls as worlds, of grammars of animacy, of what it means to river, and to be rivered.

Virginia Woolf once described Middlemarch as one of the few English novels 'for grown ups'

Pat Leach invited her good friend Susan Millar to talk about the classic novel, “Mrs Dalloway” by Virginia Woolf. It's one of Susan's favorite novels and Pat's first time reading it. Hear their conversation about what makes this book a classic and if it's a good introduction to Woolf.

Quand on pense au téléphone, on pense à l'écran, aux réseaux, aux notifications. Mais c'est plus profond que ça. C'est une transformation de notre rapport au monde, aux autres, à nous-mêmes. C'est une réécriture silencieuse de notre manière d'exister. Alors quand vous m'avez donné vos idées de thèmes de podcast, je faisais régulièrement le lien avec notre rapport au temps, aux écrans, à notre attention, et à notre façon de consommer la vie. Que ce soit l'échec, la procrastination, notre rapport aux autres... “Perhaps for the first time for years, to look round, to look up—to look, for example, at the sky.” (On Being Ill, Virginia Woolf, 1925)

🎭 Lo que vas a escuchar cambiará tu forma de ver la realidad para siempre. Charles Dickens esquivaba a sus personajes por Londres. Virginia Woolf predijo una muerte mientras escribía. Un niño de 4 años fue atacado por el pato Donald en su habitación. Y Alan Moore... Alan Moore se encontró cara a cara con John Constantine en una cafetería. En este episodio escalofriante de DÍAS EXTRAÑOS, descendemos por la madriguera más profunda del fenómeno paranormal: las incursiones ficticias, esos momentos imposibles donde personajes de libros, películas y cómics cruzan la delgada línea entre ficción y realidad. Basado en la investigación de Joshua Cutchin, exploramos casos documentados que la ciencia no puede explicar: desde escritores amenazados por sus propias creaciones hasta OVNIs con forma de naves de Star Wars. Advertencia: Después de escuchar esto, puede que empieces a mirar con otros ojos a ese extraño del metro que se parece sospechosamente a tu personaje favorito. Con casos reales, testimonios estremecedores y una revelación final que te hará cuestionar si tú mismo no eres un personaje en la historia de alguien más. Y además: Cuentos Fantásticos, El Cuadro, de Arturo Panero. Ciencia Extraordinario, con Pablo Fuente. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

À ses débuts, Nathacha Appanah croyait que « l'écriture est une île ». Elle prendra vite conscience des « bourrasques extérieures » d'une existence dédiée à « travailler sur la langue, sans étouffer sa géopolitique ». Pour elle, « l'inspiration, c'est comme l'amour, ça se nourrit, ça s'assèche, ça prend des tournures auxquelles on ne s'attendait pas. » Or, après quatre premiers romans publiés entre 2003 à 2007, l'autrice d'« En attendant demain » traverse huit ans de doutes, sans ajouter une ligne à sa bibliographie. Nathacha, hôtesse de son art, s'est formée seule, en interrogeant parfois consœurs et confrères, pour comprendre comment « construire un texte qui serait visible de loin : de la complexité à l'envers, de la simplicité à l'endroit ».Sa simplicité subtile s'exprime pleinement dans « Rien ne t'appartient » (Gallimard, 2021), plongée dans l'enfer moral d'une pension pour « filles gâchées », qu'elle mit seize ans à écrire, après des frissons dans la jungle d'un reportage au Sri Lanka. Focalisées sur la trajectoire d'une jeune femme à qui la société veut interdire de danser, de rire ou d'aimer à gorge déployée, ces 173 pages, écoulées à 30 000 exemplaires, ont de quoi faire pousser des frangipaniers dans l'œil des autorités religieuses de toute obédience. Avec cette certitude : les mots « ont le pouvoir du pied de biche ou du marteau : celui d'ouvrir les narrations closes ». Dans ce troisième et dernier épisode, Nathacha Appanah lève aussi une part du voile sur ce mystérieux conclave de Saint-Germain-des-Prés : le comité de lecture de Gallimard.L'autrice du mois : Nathacha AppanahNée en 1973 à Mahébourg (île Maurice), Nathacha Appanah est une romancière, journaliste et traductrice dont l'œuvre reflète depuis 2003 « la vie des non-puissants, des outsiders, la vie qui passe parfois comme un ruban gris, sans aspérités, sans saveur ». Traduite en dix-sept langues, récompensée par vingt-trois prix littéraires dont treize pour « Tropique de la violence » (Gallimard, 2016), cette grande admiratrice de Virginia Woolf et d'Annie Ernaux a confié, à propos de son art de l'incarnation : « J'aspire à déployer une trame aussi délicate et complexe qu'une toile d'araignée, où je serais un vieux, un ado en taule, une mère célibataire, une meurtrière ou une taiseuse et que ce soit tellement bien écrit que l'on m'oublie, moi. » Elle vit à Paris et publiera fin août « La nuit au cœur », un roman sur trois femmes « qui courent, qui luttent », victimes de la violence de leur compagnon.

« La littérature ressemble à un labyrinthe rempli des bruits que font les histoires qui n'ont pas été racontées », clame Nathacha Appanah dont le premier roman, « Les rochers de Poudre d'Or », sort l'année de ses 30 ans (Gallimard, 2003). Un premier tour de piste qui résonne comme un tour de force, pour évoquer les malheurs méconnus de centaines de milliers d'Indiens et d'Indiennes venu(e)s chercher fortune dans les Antilles ou sur l'île Maurice, et n'y récoltant qu'un travail forcé dans les champs des colons. L'ouvrage reçoit le prix RFO et se vendra, au fil des années, à vingt mille exemplaires.Prolifique et, dit-elle, « sentimentale », celle dont les ouvrages dépassent rarement deux cents pages veut « prendre des risques de livre en livre », dans le fond comme dans la forme. Ce deuxième épisode aborde la tragédie passionnelle de « Blue Bay Palace » (2004), l'amitié initiatique du « Dernier frère » (2007, L'Olivier) ou le brutal récit choral de « Tropique de la violence », sur l'extrême précarité des mineurs isolés de Mayotte, 101e département français où l'autrice vécut deux ans. Vendu à 130 000 exemplaires, adapté au cinéma, au théâtre et en bande dessinée, ce roman reste la référence littéraire pour comprendre ce territoire malmené de notre République. « J'ai toujours peur que les mots m'échappent », dit pourtant celle dont le patronyme contient trois h, comme autant de haches aptes à trancher les clichés.L'autrice du mois : Nathacha AppanahNée en 1973 à Mahébourg (île Maurice), Nathacha Appanah est une romancière, journaliste et traductrice dont l'œuvre reflète depuis 2003 « la vie des non-puissants, des outsiders, la vie qui passe parfois comme un ruban gris, sans aspérités, sans saveur ».

People. This is when things get fun. Kimberly breaks down a bunch of aspects of the work: figurative language, the unique structure, patriarchy v. matriarchy, the very nature of creativity and the essence of what it is to be human (!!).  Want to get more out of this insanely great book? Treat yourself now. 

With her bewitching and beautiful novel NEVERMORE (Seagull Books, translated from French by Tess Lewis, who joins our conversation), Cécile Wajsbrot takes us on a tour of Chenobyl's Forbidden Zone, the High Line in NYC, Dresden, Paris, under the shadow of the Time Passes section of Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse. We talk about the challenges of writing a first-person novel about translation, the strange ways Woolf has followed Cecile throughout her careers as author & translator, and how it felt to see her novel about translating Virginia Woolf into French get translated into English. We get into her literary career, how Time Passes became a stand-in for her fascination with destruction, why she's translated Woolf's The Waves three times over thirty years (and whether the first one got her into the bad graces of the editor of Le Monde de Livres), what it was like to subvert the translator's typical role of invisibility with this novel, and the language she wishes she had. We also discuss mourning and the ways we try to keep conversation alive with those we've lost, the time I impressed the Princess of Yugoslavia by transliterating the Cyrillic on her family's jewels, and more.
