“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.

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.

Den 14 maj 1925 gavs Virigina Woolfs mästerverk Mrs Dalloway ut för första gången, och hundra år senare står den sig fortfarande som en av modernismens verkliga klassiker. Vad är det som är så speciellt med romanen, och hur såg Virginia Woolfs tid och litterära värld ut? Om detta och mycket mer samtalar bibliotekarierna Karin Cellton och Solens Patrik Schylström med författaren, akademiledamoten och Woolf-kännaren Anna-Karin Palm, i detta specialavsnitt av Solen som spelades in inför publik på Tranströmerbiblioteket i Stockholm den 14 maj 2025.

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

“Abadias e catedrais” é um ensaio de Virginia Woolf publicado originalmente na revista Good Housekeeping em maio de 1932, que hoje pode ser lido em Cenas Londrinas. É um tipo de texto contemplação da vida, no qual a escritora britânica traça um panorama sobre como as coisas funcionam, a partir dos status sociais que conquistam, em especial, após a morte. Ela centra-se em tentar responder: “Onde então ir-se em Londres para encontrar paz e a certeza de que os mortos dormem e descansam em paz?” Entre as necessidades humanas, a agitação da juventude ou a tristeza da velhice, é preciso ter discernimento. De um lado, um local onde "os mortos dormem em paz, sem provar nada, sem testemunhar nada, sem exigir nada exceto que desfrutemos a paz que seus velhos ossos nos fornecem”; de outro, “Pare, reflita, admire, fique atento a seus próprios rumos - essas antigas placas estão sempre nos aconselhando e exortando”. Todo o ensaio se constrói a partir da comparação entre três espaços sacros: a Catedral St. Paul, que é nobre, mas não misteriosa e onde os túmulos estão em colunas, abrigando estadistas com seus uniformes e medalhas; a Abadia de Westminster, onde jazem reis, rainhas, duques e príncipes, aos quais Virginia questiona as virtudes - além de terem sido bem-nascidos; e St. Clement Danes, onde narra a celebração de um casamento, paralelo aos burburinhos da vida moderna.

Virginia Woolf (1882 — 1941), escritora vanguardista inglesa e uma das mais ilustres precursoras do modernismo, se destacou internacionalmente com seus romances, novelas e contos.Aqui encontramos um narrador que observa o cotidiano, num dia comum que pode ser segunda ou terça-feira. Seu olhar acompanha as movimentações da cidade, o cenário urbano atravessado pela presença de uma multidão e por elementos naturais, como uma garça voando.Enquanto vemos o que acontece do lado de fora, também vislumbramos os pensamentos e as emoções desta pessoa que apenas testemunha tudo. Parece, então, haver alguma correspondência entre o mundo exterior e sua vida interior, privada e secreta, que desconhecemos.(Fonte: https://www.culturagenial.com/contos-...)Produzido, editado e narrado por Carlos Eduardo ValenteFoto de Virginia Wolf encontrada na internet, sem os devidos créditos, e utilizada e trabalhada para este conteúdo por Carlos Eduardo ValenteMúsica de fundo, obtida na Biblioteca de Áudio do YouTube, sem necessidade de créditos:To Have To In Least Water - pATCHESSe vc quiser apoiar esse projeto, acesse:https://apoia.se/carloseduardovalente Pode apoiar também através de um PIXcarlao50@gmail.com Inscreva-se em nosso canal do YouTube: / carloseduardovalente Seja membro deste canal e ganhe benefícios: / @carloseduardovalente

Neste episódio mergulhamos na delicadeza e na potência dos encontros humanos. Mais do que simples interações, o encontro verdadeiro não se limita ao tempo ou ao espaço, mas na singularidade de cada presença.A partir do ensaio "Juntos e Separados", de Virginia Woolf, costuramos uma conversa sobre a arte de vincular-se, a diferença entre estar junto e estar com, e a coragem de aprofundar a convivência em tempos de tanta pressa.Entre afetos, silêncios e reconhecimentos, refletimos sobre o que realmente nos aproxima.Dá o play, que esse encontro também é contigo.Vem com a gente!Mara Guimarães: @maraguimaraespsiMarcos Galvão: @galvao.smgJúlio César: @juliocsousa

Es ist mal wieder Zeit für einen Klassiker! In unserer aktuellen Folge sprechen wir über Virginia Woolfs Roman „The Waves“. Ein Buch, das laut Aussage seiner Autorin keine Figuren hat. Ein Buch, in dem sechs Stimmen zu Wort kommen. Ein Buch, in dem es – möglicherweise – um Themen wie Freundschaft, Identität, Zeit, Leben, Kunst und vieles mehr geht. Wir waren gleichermaßen angetan und überfordert.

Piše Sanja Podržaj, bere Eva Longyka Marušlič. Druga pesniška knjiga pesnice, prevajalke in aktivistke Ane Makuc Švercam lubenice je zorela dolgo časa in je s provokativno podobo, ki jo je ustvarila ilustratorka in vizualna umetnica Samira Kentrić, med bralke in bralce prišla konec lanskega leta. Zbirka izrazito angažiranih pesmi je pisana na način, ki ga poznamo že iz avtoričinega prvenca Ljubica Rolanda Barthesa – v vsaki pesmi spregovori druga oseba, vsaka v svojem unikatnem položaju. V njem beremo pesmi, ki se vživljajo v nekatere znane ženske iz zgodovine in literature. Med drugim imajo besedo fiktivne Saloma, Lolita in Rdeča kapica ter zelo resnične Virginia Woolf, Frida Kahlo in Sylvia Plath. Pesmi se berejo kot njihovi monologi in skušajo naslikati njihov psihološki portret. To nam, bralkam in bralcem, ponuja drugačen pogled na posameznico, ki je sicer imenovana, a bi bila lahko tudi slehernica, ter izpostavlja kompleksnost osebnosti, ki niso brez notranjih nasprotij in konfliktov. Te postopke poznamo na primer iz romanov hrvaške pisateljice Slavenke Drakulić, ki se je vživljala v Frido Khalo, Milevo Marić in v Doro Maar, ali pa iz svetovne uspešnice ameriške pisateljice Madeline Miller, ki je v romanu Kirka na ta način pisala o mitski čarovnici Kirki, znani iz Odiseje. Takšen pristop je izrazito feminističen, saj iz upovedovanja intimnega ustvarja družbeno kritiko in s tem potrjuje, da je osebno (še vedno) politično. Na podlagi primera namreč pokaže na neenakost in nepravičnost v patriarhalni družbi. Ti primeri pogosto izhajajo iz preteklosti, a kljub temu so vzporednice z današnjim časom jasne. Čeprav se zdi, da smo kot družba na področju pravic žensk in enakopravnosti spolov napredovali, se ob branju tovrstne literature vse prevečkrat pokaže, da nekatere težave trdovratno vztrajajo. In prav o teh lahko beremo v zbirki Švercam lubenice. Tudi v zbirki Švercam lubenice spregovorijo nekatere znane ženske, kot sta fiktivni Gospa Dalloway iz romana Virginie Woolf in Urška iz Prešernovega Povodnega moža, pa tudi pesnica Emily Dickinson. Vendar pa je večina govork in govorcev tokrat brezimnih posameznikov. Poleg žensk imajo besedo tudi otroci, moški in celo duhovi. Prepoznamo lahko celo nekatere dogodke, ki so odmevali v javnosti, na primer umor novinarke Kim Wall in reševanje tajskih dečkov iz poplavljene jame. Če zbirko primerjamo z avtoričinim prvencem, je tematsko bolj raznolika. Obsega petindvajset pesmi, med katerimi so nekatere povezane z naslovi, na primer Ženska v belem 1 in 2, v katerih spregovori Emily Dickinson, a bi ju lahko brali tudi kot credo pesnice, ki pravi: »Pišem, torej sem.« Na podoben način je skozi celotno zbirko posejanih sedem pesmi z naslovom Švercam lubenice, ki tudi tvorijo njeno jedro. V teh pesmih prisluhnemo eni govorki, vsaj tako se zdi, ženski, ki razmišlja o svoji nosečnosti, spreminjajočem se telesu in porodu, o tem, da bo po njem del nje »sam hodil po svetu«. Teh sedem pesmi predstavlja najmočnejši del zbirke, z njimi se najtesneje povezujejo tudi ilustracije, ki iz lubeničnih pešk tvorijo oblike ženskega telesa ali delov telesa in podobe, ki spominjajo na plod, zgovorna pa je tudi izbira semen za ustvarjanje le-teh. »Švercanje lubenic« postane metafora za nosečnost, za napet in težek trebuh pod široko bundo, kot lahko beremo v eni izmed pesmi. O tem obdobju, o katerem pogosto beremo same lepe stvari, namreč ko nosečnica sije, žari, je blažena, Ana Makuc piše bolj večplastno. To ni čas absolutnega veselja nad novim življenjem, temveč tudi negotovosti, strahu in sprememb, zaradi katerih se zamaje odnos do telesa in lastne identitete, ki se znajde na preizkušnji: »Težko je vedeti, / kdo si, / ko meje tvojega telesa / niso meje tvoje kože.« Otrok je del materinega telesa in tujek hkrati, materinstvo pa pomeni, vsaj za nekaj časa, obstajati za nekoga drugega. To ne prinese vedno samo pozitivnih občutkov, vendar družba od žensk, ki postanejo matere, to pričakuje. Tabu tako še vedno ostaja poporodna depresija, o kateri beremo v pesmi Nočna varuška, ali pa dejstvo, da dve rdeči črtici nista vedno zaželeni, kot v pesmi Ostani s težavo. Pesmi v zbirki Švercam lubenice so izrazito pripovedne in oprijemljive, na ta način omogočajo, da se tudi bralke in bralci zlahka vživimo v pesniške govorke in govorce. Ena od osnovnih funkcij branja je prav to, da se z vživljanjem v izkušnje drugih ljudi gradi empatija. Predsodki pogosto izhajajo iz neznanja in nerazumevanja, pesmi Ane Makuc pa so priložnost, da prisluhnemo. A zbirka ni brez svojih težav. Medtem ko se sedem pesmi Švercam lubenice tematsko zelo dobro povezuje z večino drugih v zbirki, ki govorijo o materinstvu, skrbstvenem delu, družinskem nasilju in zlorabi, pa nekaj pesmi izstopa, kot da bi se v zbirki znašle po naključju ali zaradi aktualnosti problematike. Morda se tako zdi, ker so po zbirki na redko posejane in jih ni veliko ter tako delujejo kot nekakšna anomalija v nizu pesmi, osredotočenih na ženske izkušnje. Takšna je na primer pesem Deport or game, v kateri lahko prepoznamo besede begunca iz dokumentarnega filma Rdeči gozdovi Nike Autor. Game oziroma igra predstavlja tvegano prečkanje schengenske meje, kar nekateri poskušajo tudi dvajsetkrat, kot beremo v pesmi, za nekatere pa je poskus usoden. Tako si lahko predstavljamo, da je bil usoden za begunko z dojenčkom, katere duh spregovori v pesmi Duh begunke z dojenčkom. Švercanje v naslovu namiguje tudi na prehajanje čez mejo in se s tem navezuje na begunsko problematiko, a vendar se ob pogledu na zbirko kot celoto zdi, da so bile nekatere pesmi dodane zgolj zato, da bi bilo v njej čim več aktualnih in angažiranih vsebin, čeprav bi bila brez njih vsebinsko povsem zaokrožena in celo bolj celovita. Še ena pesem, ki se zdi popolnoma iz konteksta zbirke, je pesem Jama, v kateri sledimo kolektivni pripovedi dvanajstih dečkov, ki so bili skupaj s trenerjem ujeti v jami 14 dni. Tu je še pesem Podmornica, ki govori o brutalnem umoru novinarke Kim Wall in zdi se, da pripoveduje njen morilec – pri tem sploh ni jasno, zakaj do besede ne pride žrtev zločina, ki ji je bil glas že tako ali tako odvzet. In medtem ko za večino pesmi lahko rečemo, da se upirajo črno-belemu pogledu na žensko izkušnjo, pa je recimo pesem Delo iz ljubezni na svoj način zasidrana v stereotipnih predstavah ženske – gospodinje, ki je »pri tridesetih s štirimi otroki / kot posušena starka«. Iz nje lahko razberemo nekakšno pomilovanje, skratka nasprotje od ubesedovanja večplastnosti in kompleksnosti ženskih življenj. Lahko se strinjamo z besedami Barbare Korun v spremni besedi: pesniška zbirka Ane Makuc Švercam lubenice marsikomu ne bo všeč. Je izrazito angažirana in politična, s tem pa nas sooča tudi z nekaterimi neprijetnimi dejstvi, ki bi jih morda najraje prezrli. Kljub nekaterim pomanjkljivostim gre za premišljene pesmi, ki nam ponujajo okno v svet nekoga drugega, drugačnega, in s tem priložnost, da premislimo o svojih prepričanjih. Ali bo knjiga prišla v roke tistim, ki bi takšna soočenja najbolj potrebovali, pa je stvar kakšne druge razprave. Vsekakor si želimo, da bi.

« 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 ». 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.

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 ».

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. 

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, the critically acclaimed author, Oxford scholar, literature teacher and performer Dr Sally Bayley chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about The Green Lady: A Spirit, A Story, A Place.  Part memoir, part fiction, The Green Lady is an experimental mix of biography, fiction and family history.   Here's what you'll discover in this episode: The Green Lady explores a child's search for artistic education and a sense of self. Lyrical and playful, Sally Bayley's writing transports readers into an eccentric world of teachers, guardians and guiding spirits of place. Moved by her female teachers, and guided by the artist J.M.W. Turner, Bayley's protagonist goes in search of her maternal ancestors, especially her grandmother, Edna May Turner. Sally's inspiration for crafting The Green Lady, the final book in her experimental literary coming of age trilogy of a young girl immersing herself in the world of lyrical language and poetry Why Sally crafted The Green Lady as an experimental mix of biography, fiction and family history The meaning of the title, The Green Lady How The Green Lady continued Virginia Woolf's Orlando as an imagined biography How Sally crafted deeply sensory and visceral narrative filled with vivid visual imagery, poetry, music, song, drama and movement Sally's response to the question: ‘Who gets to be the subject of a biography and have their life told, and who remains invisible?'

On episode 289 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello, AwardsWatch contributor Mark Johnson, and special guest Kevin Jacobsen, Entertainment Weekly Content Update Editor and host of the And the Runner Up Is podcast. Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night. While everyone is settling into the summer blockbuster season and recovering from the Cannes Film Festival from the month of May, the AW team turn to the month of June by going back to a favorite exercise from last year, an extensive tier ranking of an Oscar category. After doing Best Director last year, the team moves the most popular category the Oscars has for the team; Best Actress and its 98 winners. In trying to place these winners in the correct spot, the team had to come together and decide on whether to place these performances in the S (all-time winner), A, B, C, D, or F tier and explain the ranking. Only 49 of the winners are discussed on this episode, including Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind, Liza Minnelli in Cabaret, Jessica Chastain in The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Judy Holliday in Born Yesterday, Elizabeth Taylor in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Marion Cotillard in La Vie en Rose, Loretta Young in The Farmer's Daughter and Sally Field in Norma Rae, with the rest covered next week. For the first time in the tier ranking episodes, the performances have been randomized, making the show even more unpredictable as to who will be covered from the list of winners on this episode. Also, the team has instituted two rules that include only 15 winners being able to be in the “S tier” and if an actress has multiple wins, only one of their wins can make it into the 15. It adds a fun wrinkle for the team to try and figure out when they get to their final rankings. It may only be part one, but it's a great episode and we hope you all enjoy it and listen next week to part two. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 3h58m. We will be back in next week for part 2 of our Best Actress tier ranking episode. Till then, let's get into it.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the original submission.A path to healingRuth Sloven is a St. Paul-based artist. She recommends the group exhibition “WITNESS עֵד,” a group art show by Jewish artists for Palestinian liberation, at Modus Locus in Minneapolis.Ruth says: This exhibit includes ceramics, sculpture, community, quilting, painting and video. Many of the works are traditional Jewish subjects, which have been repurposed in non-traditional ways. What I'm excited about is that it's a doorway into experiencing and expressing the grief about the destructive war in Israel and Gaza, and hopefully can be part of a path to healing.— Ruth SlovenStop, collaborate and listenJoseph “JoJo” Howsley is a music enthusiast based in Fargo.

It's both based on Virginia Woolf — a few of her writings: “The Waves,” “A Room of One's Own” and, of course, “Orlando” — and it's also combined with writing from Vinora and Steve. To see them working together is really special. And so it's really exciting to see her directorial debut, and it's really exciting that she's doing this work with her dad, Steve. The story of “Orlando” is a story about a person who, over 300 years, goes back and forth between being a young woman and a young man, and they both perform as Orlando, and they both perform as versions of themselves.— Carrie OlkCorrection (May 29, 2025): An earlier version of this story misspelled Kyle Krause.

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) är en av den litterära modernismens portalfigurer. Med sina djärva berättargrepp och nyskapande perspektivskiften bidrog Woolfs böcker starkt till skapandet av den moderna romanen. Men som för många kvinnliga författare i historien har biografin ibland ställts i vägen för författarskapet. Om Woolf berättas lika ofta om hennes psykiska ohälsa och slutliga självmord som om hennes banbrytande litteratur, trots att Woolf själv insisterade på litteraturens frihet. Hur blev det så? Bildningspodden diskuterar mytbildningen kring Virginia Woolf och närläser hennes viktigaste böcker. Gäst i studion är litteraturvetaren Maria Trejling.

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.

Esta tarde hay música y dibujo al mismo tiempo en el programa. Nos visita el músico Kevin Johansen para interpretar algunas de sus canciones más conocidas mientras el historietista, ilustrador, pintor y editor argentino, Liniers, improvisa con sus pinceles y recrea esas canciones en dibujos en tiempo real. Este proyecto, que aúna música e ilustración, lleva en marcha más de quince años y recientemente ha tomado forma en el disco 'Desde que te Madrid', grabado en vivo en el Teatro Albéniz.Con Víctor Mora, en nuestra sección Género fluido, abordamos 'Orlando', la novela de Virginia Woolf, a través de varias obras que se han inspirado en ella. Primero, el documental del filósofo Paul B. Preciado, titulado también Orlando, estrenado en 2023. Y después, la adaptación cinematográfica dirigida por Sally Potter en 1993. Entre ambas películas hay 30 años de diferencia, pero la historia escrita hace casi un siglo por Woolf mantiene su vigencia y frescura.El compositor francés David Letellier, conocido como Kangding Ray, ha recibido el premio Cannes Soundtrack a la mejor banda sonora por su trabajo en Sirat, película del cineasta español Oliver Laxe. El filme también ha sido galardonado con el Premio del Jurado del Festival de Cannes 2025, compartido ex aequo con Sound of Falling, de Mascha Schilinski. Hoy, en el pueblo natal del director gallego, se ha proyectado la película y él mismo ha hablado con la prensa.Cerramos el programa con un viaje al Renacimiento veneciano. Paolo Veronese, figura clave del siglo XVI junto a Tiziano y Tintoretto, es el protagonista de una gran exposición antológica en el Museo del Prado. La muestra, que se inaugura hoy, es la principal apuesta primaveral del museo y ofrece un recorrido completo por la obra de este maestro del color, la elegancia y las composiciones monumentales.

En butte, comme beaucoup de femmes de la société victorienne, à la domination masculine, Virginia Woolf a contracté dans son enfance une soif d'indépendance.

In this episode of our Mike Nichols Marathon we are moving onto the 1973 The Day of the Dolphin. Over the course of our conversation we will attempt to understand how a movie about George C. Scott talking to dolphins fits in the catalogue of someone who brought Hollywood into the new age with Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and The Graduate, whether this movie had a chance of succeeding in the first place and if it should be taken seriously at all. We also talk about the magic of emoting in a scene where a dolphin's voice is produced by Buck Henry, the ultimate failure of political plotting in an otherwise family movie and much more!Tune in and enjoy!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our patreon at patreon.com/uncutgemspod (3$/month)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and support us by gaining access to ALL of our exclusive podcasts, such as bonus tie-ins, themed retrospectives and director marathons!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Head over to our website to find out more!

Why did Charles Darwin, Virginia Woolf, and Henri Poincaré all follow the same four-hour rule? In this episode, bestselling author Oliver Burkeman returns to explain why three to four hours of focused work might be the secret to productivity and peace. Access the bonus episode: https://nudge.kit.com/d4e55ac69d You'll learn: The 3–4 hour rule: why it worked for Darwin, Trollope, and Dickens and still works today. How to tackle overwhelming tasks with a simple mental trick called “just go to the shed.” Why keeping a “done list” might be more motivating than a to-do list (feat. Marie Curie). How inboxes, perfectionism, and productivity guilt trap us in modern-day Sisyphus cycles.

Choreographer Sir Wayne McGregor is one of the most acclaimed, innovative and influential figures in contemporary dance. His works are often the result of creative collaborations with artists, musicians, filmmakers, or with scientists to explore technological issues. In 2006 he was appointed as Resident Choreographer at the Royal Ballet. He has created more than 20 new works at Covent Garden in that time, including Chroma, set to music by Joby Talbot and The White Stripes, and Woolf Works, a full-length ballet based on the life and writings of Virginia Woolf. More recently, McGregor brought the post-apocalyptic vision of Margaret Atwood to the stage in his ballet MaddAddam, based on the writer's acclaimed trilogy of novels. He has worked as a movement director on films including Harry Potter Goblet Of Fire and Mary Queen Of Scots, collaborated with bands including Radiohead and Chemical Brothers, and choreographed the virtual concert, ABBA Voyage. In October 2025, Somerset House in London will mount a landmark exhibition dedicated to McGregor's trailblazing collaborations that have radically defined how we think about performance, movement, and the body. Having won numerous awards, including two Oliviers, Sir Wayne McGregor was knighted in 2024.Wayne McGregor talks to John Wilson about his childhood in Stockport, where he took dance classes and was inspired by John Travolta's moves in Saturday Night Fever. He recalls the house and techno music of the late 80s when he was a student, and how the freedom of expression he felt on nightclub dance-floors informed his style of choreography. Whilst living in New York after leaving university, Wayne came across an open-air performance by the legendary American choreographer Merce Cunningham, whose company was dancing to live music conducted by the avant-garde composer John Cage. It was a chance encounter that had a profound impact on McGregor. He also discusses how science and technology has been a major thematic influence on much of his work in recent years, and how AI has been used to create new works through analysis of physical movement and artistic expression.Producer Edwina Pitman

For nearly as long as we've been waging war, we've sought ways to chronicle it. “Warfare,” a new movie co-directed by the filmmaker Alex Garland and the former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza, takes an unorthodox approach, recreating a disastrous real-life mission in Iraq according to Mendoza's own memories and those of the soldiers who fought alongside him. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss how “Warfare” 's visceral account brings us closer to a certain kind of truth, while also creating a space into which viewers can project their own ideologies. The hosts consider how artists have historically portrayed conflict and its aftermath—referencing Virginia Woolf's depiction of a shell-shocked soldier in “Mrs. Dalloway” and Vietnam-era classics such as “Apocalypse Now” and “Full Metal Jacket”—and how “Warfare,” with its emphasis on firsthand experience, marks a departure from much of what came before. “That personal tinge to me seems to be characteristic of the age,” Cunningham says. “Part of the emotional appeal is, This happened, and I'm telling you. It's not diaristic—but it is testimonial.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Warfare” (2025)“Apocalypse Now” (1979)“Full Metal Jacket” (1987)“Beau Travail” (1999)“Saving Private Ryan” (1998)“The Hurt Locker” (2008)“Zero Dark Thirty” (2012)“Barry” (2018–23)“Mrs. Dalloway,” by Virginia Woolf“In Flanders Fields,” by John McCraeNew episodes drop every Thursday.

Is genuine originality a realistic goal for artists?From fashion to fantasy, entertainment to enterprise, we seek the 'new' as the means to originality, change, and creativity. And for the most part, we imagine the new is always identifiable as a radical break from the past. But the nature of the new is more elusive and unknown than it first appears. Is the new an illusion, and the search for originality a mistake? Should creative endeavour be focussed on other goals, such as the timeless, the provocative, and the beautiful? Or is the new an essential part of life, creativity and action, without which we would have mere passive re-orderings of the known?Martin Puchner is a literary critic and philosopher.

Sigrid Nunez, one of our most celebrated literary voices, joins Rhett for a conversation about writing, adaptation, and the creative process. She shares her experience of seeing her novels adapted for the screen and reflects on how film adaptations, much like cover songs, bring a new vision to a writer's work. The two discuss her writing process, transition to short stories, and the unofficial trilogy formed by her last three novels, including "The Vulnerables." Drawing wisdom from her career and the influences of writers like Toni Morrison and Virginia Woolf, she provides a candid look at what it takes to sustain a life in writing. When asked what advice she would give her 21-year-old self, her response is simple: keep writing.
