A woman's husband goes up to the attic to retrieve something and down comes…a different husband. Wouldn't we all sometimes like to exchange the husband we have for a better, newer, or just different model? Holly turned this idea into a novel that is both funny and thoughtfully considered. It may not, in fact, be such a great thing to have an endless supply of potential husbands so easy to exchange.  Her book has been optioned by Apple Plus for a limited series and I just saw that Juno Temple, the actress who played Keeley in the Ted Lasso series, is slated to play the starring role.   And because it is April, and April is National Poetry Month, we're discussing books related to poets. Not everyone loves poetry, but these books aren't actually poetry–so you can still partake of poetry month. They are historical fiction, memoirs, essays, and children's books written by or inspired by poets.    Books Mentioned in This Episode:   1- The Husbands by Holly Gramazio   2- Lakewood by Megan Giddings   3- I Used to Live Here Once: The Haunted Life of Jean Rhys by Miranda Seymour   4- Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys     5- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte     6- The Animals in That Country by Laura Jean McKay     7- Thank You for Calling the Lesbian Line by Elizabeth Lovett     8- Saint X by Alexis Schaitkin     9-  A Five Star Read Recommended by Fellow Book Lover  Chelsea @2_girls_bookin_it - The Endless Fall by Emmerson Hoyt     10- The Swan's Nest by Laura Mcneal     11- You Could Make This Place Beautiful by Maggie Smith     12- Memorial Drive by Natasha Trethaway     13- Emily's House by Amy Belding Brown     14- Finding Langston by Lesa Cline-Ransome     15- Bite by Bite: Nourishments and Jamborees by Aimee Nezhukumatathil     16- World of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies, Whale Sharks, and Other Astonishments by Aimee Nezhukumatathil     17- The Poet's Dog by Patricia McLachlan     Media mentioned-- 1- Severance (Apple+, 2022 - Present)   2- Reduced Shakespeare Company--https://www.reducedshakespeare.com   3- Saint X (Hulu, 2023)

Månedens klassiker i oktober var Wide Sargasso Sea av Jean Rhys. I denne utgaven av BOBcast kan du høre Joanna Pacula snakke med Kjersti Aarstein om denne postkoloniale klassiker. Kjersti Aarstein er førsteamanuensis og undervisningskoordinator ved Senter for kvinne- og kjønnsforskning.

Nineteenth century novels remain rich fodder both for adaptation and complete reimagining. However, it is rarely as easy as writers and screenwriters believe to strike the balance between respect for the source material, alteration to provide accessibility for a modern audience and presenting the themes which made the book a classic in the first place. This week Jules and Madeleine take a look at what can go right and what can go horribly wrong when using classics as the basis for your story. Under the microscope this week - Iron Mask - Tina Connelly, Jane Steele - Lyndsey Faye, Wide Sargasso Sea and many more. (This is part one of a two part episode)   Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

Books touched on: Genderqueer, by Maia Kobabe; Road of Bones, by Christopher Golden, Years of Rice and Salt, by Kim Stanley Robinson; Homegoing, by Yaa Gyasi; Maame, by Jessica George; Kindred, by Ocatavia Butler and Damian Duffy; Ink Blood Sister Scribe, by Emma Torzs; Marlena, by Julie Buntin; Counterfeit, by Kirstin Chen; Comedy Bang Bang The Podcast The Book, by Scott Aukerman; Wide Sargasso Sea, Jean Rhys; The Spy Who Loved Me, by Ian Fleming.

Als junges Mädchen las Jean Rhys den englischen Klassiker "Jane Eyre" von Charlotte Bronte. Da sie selbst in der Karibik, den ehemaligen englischen Kolonien, aufgewachsen war, ärgerte sie sich über die Darstellung der Figur der Bertha in "Jane Eyre". Sie stammte aus den West Indies, wurde für verrückt erklärt und am Dachboden eines englischen Landhauses eingesperrt. Ihre Geschichte blieb allerdings im Dunkeln. In "Wide Sargasso Sea" schreibt Jean Rhys die Geschichte von "Bertha" neu - ihr Aufwachsen in der Karibik, ihre Ehe mit einem englischen Gentleman und ihr Weg auf jenen Dachboden, den wir aus "Jane Eyre" kennen. Jean Rhys hat damit einen Roman geschaffen, der sowohl als feministische als auch postkoloniale Klassikerin gilt. Nebenbei ist "Wide Sargasso Sea" ein faszinierendes, intensives Buch, das einen nicht mehr loslässt. Außerdem hört ihr, wie Julia zu den Brontes steht und welch komplizierte Geschichte sie mit "Jane Eyre" verbindet. Was haltet ihr von "Jane Eyre"? Schreibt uns an plaudern@diebuch.at!

In Episode 163, Sara Hildreth, from @FictionMatters and co-host of the podcast Novel Pairings, returns for her third appearance on our show as our expert for Classics & Retellings 101. Sara guides us through the sometimes intimidating world of timeless reads in an accessible way. She busted some myths about classics and changed my mind about some elements of the classics. And, she has a great approach to find the perfect retelling of your favorite classics for your next read.  This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). CLICK HERE for the full episode Show Notes on the blog. Highlights Sara explores the definitions of a classic and a modern classic book. We talk about separating the American literature canon from the idea of a classic. Sara talks about being free to define classics on personal terms. The idea of a book being labeled a “future classic.” Now-famous books that went unnoticed initially when they were released. Sara's personal reading motivations. Common issues people have when trying to tackle classic books. Notable quirks of many classics that were first published as serials. Tips and advice for approaching older books. Addressing the pressure surrounding reading or revisiting classics. Examples of nonfiction classics. Legal considerations for all those retellings. The rise of retellings as a trend with today's audience. The difference between retellings and fan fiction. Sara's recommendations for accessible classic literature. A different approach to finding the right retelling for your reading. Please note: Sara mistakenly mentions during the discussion that The Great Gatsbydid not come into popularity until its distribution to soldiers during World War I, when this actually occurred during World War II.

Året i bild Vi summerar skräckåret 2023 genom att utse årets det ena och årets det andra, i gammal beprövad Vargtimmen-tradition, trots upprepade bedyranden under året att det är dags att uppdatera sig till ett mer hanterligt format.

Guess who's back?! This time we're talking about Wide Sargasso Sea, the 1966 prequel to Jane Eyre by Jean Rhys. When you hear about feminist responses to classic literature, this is one of the first that comes up. But did it meet our expectations? I don't know! We say in the episode! Trigger warning for discussions of domestic/spousal abuse, as that's one of the main themes of the book.

Medaya Ocher and Eric Newman speak with author Justin Torres about his latest novel, Blackouts. As they discuss the novel's layered revelation of both the characters' lives and the real queer history into which they are imaginatively woven, the conversation explores queerness as a literary identity, history as a particular site of queer desire, and how we tell the stories that make us intelligible to ourselves and others. Also, Anna Biller, author of Bluebeard's Castle, returns to recommend Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys.

Zadie Smith's The Fraud brings all the excitement of a Victorian novel with a cast of characters that will be familiar (Charles Dickens, anyone?) and a wild web of plots that combine the best of historical fiction with themes that still resonate. Smith joins us to talk about the different process she used while writing, the importance of knowing and understanding history, freedom, resistance and more with Miwa Messer, host of Poured Over.

The writer Jean Rhys is best known for Wide Sargasso Sea, her haunting prequel to Jane Eyre, yet her own life would have made for an equally compelling novel. Miranda Seymour, author of the definitive Jean Rhys biography I Used to Live Here Once, joins the Slightly Foxed team to follow Rhys's often rackety life and shine light on her writing. Born Ella Gwendolen Rees Williams on the island of Dominica, she dreamed of being an actress. And she did play many roles over the years: raconteur, recluse, wife (three times), grieving mother, enthusiastic drinker . . . But her most important role was that of a writer. We begin in the Caribbean with Smile Please, Rhys's unfinished autobiography of her early years, where we meet a white creole girl who feels like an outsider. This feeling lingers, whether she is living in squalid London, on Paris's Left Bank or in rural Devon. The women in her novels feel it too: Anna adrift in London in Voyage in the Dark, Julia leaving Paris in After Leaving Mr Mackenzie, Antoinette bound for Mr Rochester's attic in Wide Sargasso Sea. The voice of Sacha rings out in a BBC radio play of Good Morning, Midnight many years after its publication, bringing Rhys into the spotlight. Embezzlement, incarcerations, fisticuffs in the street and an unsuccessful menage à trois all trouble her at times, yet she wins over many supporters along the way, among them the writer Ford Madox Ford, the editors Francis Wyndham and Diana Athill, and her loyal friend Sonia Orwell. Then we're back in Paris, browsing the shelves of the Shakespeare and Company bookshop, and selecting some New Year reading recommendations – post-apocalyptic science fiction by John Christopher, travels Along the Enchanted Way in Romania, and the artistic life of Alison vividly told in words and pictures by Lizzy Stewart.

Sally takes a trip on her shiny blue electric scooter to Oxford Public Library, where she picks up a novel by the iconic British modernist writer Jean Rhys. After a disturbing experience at the hospital, she seeks refuge in Rhys' existentialist narrative of rootless but indomitable women, who eke out a living on the margins of society while searching for love, beauty and a sense of belonging. Further Reading: Jean Rhys was born in 1890 and brought up on the Caribbean island of Dominica. She was sent to England to further her education at the age of 16, but was continually mocked for her accent and her foreign birth. Unable to become an actress, she became a chorus girl, and, like many of her protagonists, earned a precarious living travelling around provincial England and the poorer parts of London. From the 1920s onwards, Rhys produced a string of short stories and novels based on her experiences, featuring outsider figures often dependent on alcohol, living hand-to-mouth, with no fixed income or permanent relationships. Rhys has become recognised as a leading modernist writer, her stories treasured for their interiority, experimental qualities and stream-of-consciousness techniques. She published Voyage in the Dark, the novel which Sally reads, in 1934. The Second World War seemed to mark the end of her writing career and she disappeared from public view; it was even reported that she was dead. After a quarter of a decade, she re-emerged in her seventies to publish Wide Sargasso Sea. The novel is a revolutionary re-imagining of Charlotte Bronte's 1847 novel Jane Eyre, telling the story from the perspective of Bertha Mason, Mr Rochester's so-called “madwoman in the attic”. Rhys re-writes the character as a woman sold into marriage, exploited, tortured and incarcerated. An exposure of racial and sexual exploitation, the novel has been widely hailed as a post-colonial and feminist masterpiece. In her first memoir, Girl With Dove, Sally describes how Jane Eyre was a pivotal book for her as she grew up. You can find out more about Sally's own books here: https://sallybayley.com/ When Sally calls her visit to the hospital “Kafkaesque”, she is of course referring to Franz Kafka, the German-speaking author born in Prague in 1883, now seen as one of the most important writers of the 20th century. His works explored the plight of individuals trapped in strange, often surreal situations and nightmarishly complex bureaucratic systems. The term “Kafkaesque” has entered the English language and is often used to describe an alienating, illogical or absurd experience. Kafka died in obscurity in 1924 and his works only became famous after the Second World War.

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our thirty-third episode, the Pedants' Revolt keeps waging on with a series of rebuking letters. We also discover the villain origin story for villain origin stories in Jean Rhys's postcolonial modernist/postmodernist Jane Eyre-fan fiction masterpiece, Wide Sargasso Sea (1966).

Welcome to BookShook! This episode is all about the first half of November's book, The Castle by Franz Kafka trans. J.A.Underwood published in 1926 (up to Chapter 14 ("Frieda's Reproach") if you're reading alongside). The idea of the episode is that we'll split a book into two equal halves — a book that I and perhaps you have never read. In the first episode, published on the second Friday of the month, we'll discuss the first half. And then in the second episode (published on the last Friday of the month - 25th November), we'll look at the second half of the book (in this case from page 146 - chapter 14 'Frieda's Reproach'). We'll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it's a book we'd recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don't have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I'll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at the BookShook YouTube channel (link below) or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. The book we'll be reading for December is Hao Jingfang's Vagabonds trans. Ken Liu(594pages) (so get that ready if you're going to read alongside). Thanks for listening to BookShook!

Welcome to BookShook! This episode is all about the second half of October's book, Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys published in 1966 (from page 77 if you're reading alongside). The idea of the episode is that I take a book I've never read, split it in two and discuss each half on the second and last Fridays of the month. I'll do a first impressions summary alongside my thoughts and reactions and then raise any interesting ideas so far in the novel (be aware - there may be spoilers.) And then on the last Friday of the month, I'll discuss the second half of the book. We'll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it's a book we'd recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don't have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I'll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at the BookShook YouTube channel (link below) or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. The book we'll be reading for November is The Castle by Franz Kafka (280 pages) — we'll be reading up to Chapter 14 'Frieda's Reproach' (so get that ready if you're going to read alongside me). The first episode will be on 11th November. Thanks for listening to BookShook! RogerContent Warning: It is assumed that you have read the first half of the novel so their may be spoilers up to 50%. I also read Jane Eyre in preparation for this podcast, and although I've tried to alert to any possible spoilers where possible, if you hate spoilers, my advice would be to read that book before listening. There are references to the following topics in the book: arson, mental illness, racism. I don't use any swear words in this podcast. The n-word is used widely throughout the novel and any quotations from the novel that contain this word have been replaced with the phrase “n-word”. Also, apologies for not pronouncing Jean correctly. If there is anything I have missed, do let me know. This podcast as always, is a learning process for me. I'm learning from the novels , and also learning how to communicate effectively the ideas in the novels. Thanks.

What happens when one of the most famous women in the world goes back to work? She proves she has something to give by giving her all and leaving a legacy that no one can argue with. ⁠Jackie's last 20 years were a study in how fulfilling a working life can be. She didn't need to do it, she didn't have to do it; she wanted to do it. ⁠And with two marriages behind her and two children at school, no one was going to hold her back. At 45, she reclaimed her career and got down to work. ⁠ Show Notes: Reading Jackie by William Kuhn The Most Beautiful House in the World by Witold Rybczynski Prix de Paris - Vogue Writing Prize Letitia Baldrige (First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy's Social Secretary) Diana Vreeland The Glory of Russian Costume (Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art) In The Russian Style (accompanying book, edited by Jacqueline Onassis) Maria by Callas (Netflix documentary) Jackie's favourite novels: Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys Out of Africa by Karen Blixen Colette // Hosted by Judy Stewart // Produced by Leonie Marsh // Sound Engineers: Lana Kristensen and Jason Millhouse // Instagram: @_unpaused // Website: www.unpaused.net

Got book? This week you get two, kinda. Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys (1966), a companion novel for Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë (1847).

It's rare that a prequel is as good as the original, but Jean Rhys's “Wide Sargasso Sea” (1966), a prequel to Charlotte Brontë's “Jane Eyre” (1847), is just such a precious novel. Set in Jamaica and Dominica, “Wide Sargasso Sea” is an origin story for Brontë's Creole “madwoman in the attic”, Rochester's first wife, who eventually burns down Thornfield Hall. But while Brontë invented the flames, Rhys provides the gaslighting, exploitation and ultimately the spark that sets the house alight. Through vivid prose dense with colour and made concise with masterly control, Rhys brings an imperial and patriarchal society to its natural conclusion – a burning house. Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include: "Wide Sargasso Sea" by Jean Rhys "Within a Budding Grove" by Marcel Proust “Norwegian Wood” by Haruki Murakami “Tenderness” by Alison MacLeod “The Paris Review – Interview 1979” by Jean Rhys   Additional segments throughout the podcast include: Inner Shelf Fact or fiction What are you reading?
