Hay gente que es infierno y vuelve a los demás infierno. Quizás escribir sobre ello es una forma de lucha contra ello, quizá si has estado en Auschwitz hay que escribir sobre ello, o si tu padrastro te violó de forma continuada desde que tenías seis años también tienes que escribir sobre ello. Eso es lo que ha hecho Neige Sinno, la escritora francesa que publica 'Triste tigre', un libro de no ficción descarnado y al mismo tiempo plenamente literario sobre aquella terrible experiencia. Seguimos hablando de experiencias que se trasladan a la literatura con 'Un silencio lleno de murmullos' de Gioconda Belli donde está muy presente la experiencia de exilio de la escritora nicaragüense. Laura Fernández nos lleva esta tarde a su rincón del mundo para hablarnos del escritor William H. Gass, su 'Sonata carteriana' y otros relatos, y también de la serie 'The curse'. Terminamos el paseo en Sitges porque empieza su festival de cine fantástico y allí está Conxita Casanovas para contarnos qué se viene estos días en Cataluña. Escuchar audio

These are, without a doubt, the best short books ever written! In our opinion. We all love the feeling of accomplishment when you finish a huge 1,000 tome, but honestly, sometimes you just want to rip through a book without feeling like it's dragging on forever! That's why there's short books and novellas! In this episode Andy and I break down our favorite short books and what we love about them. While many new authors today may be writing short novels because they take less time to write, and people have shorter and shorter attention spans, writing a thought provoking and memorable short book can be tough. Consider that the author has fewer pages to pack their narrative punch. So if you're looking for a great short book, consider one of the books on this list!

Gass, Joan Didion, and Claudia Rankine herself.

Entrevistamos a la sueca Liv Strömquist, una de las grandes superventas de la novela gráfica. Tras su historia cultural ilustrada de la vulva o su reflexión sobre cómo el capitalismo influye en la forma en que nos queremos, publica 'La sala de los espejos', un ensayo sobre la imagen, el deseo, la vanidad y las inseguridades, sobre un mundo cada vez más visual y menos social, aunque las redes que lo sostienen lleven ese nombre. Con nuestro corresponsal en París, Antonio Delgado, visitamos el Museo Marmottan, que ha montado una exposición de obras de arte que representan al Sol. Quieren conmemorar los 150 años de la creación de 'Impresión, sol naciente', de Claude Monet, obra con el que nació el impresionismo. Sobre arte, nos acercamos a la Fundación Mapfre de Madrid con Sonia Castelani para recorrer la primera exposición del Año Picasso: 'Julio González, Pablo Picasso y la desmaterialización de la escultura', una muestra que explora la colaboración entre Julio González y Pablo Picasso entre 1928 y 1932 y que se materializó en un gran monumento funerario dedicado a Guillaume Apollinaire. Sobre colores nos habla Use Lahoz, con dos ensayos: 'Sobre lo azul', de William H. Gass, y 'La nomenclatura del color de Werner', de Patrick Syme. Y repasamos con Conchita Casanovas todo lo sucecido en el Festival de Cine de San Sebastián, que hoy entrega el Premio Donostia a David Cronenberg. Escuchar audio

"The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words." - William H. Gass Aside from my excitement of reaching one of my favorite numbers, this episode features two writers I admire. Kein Chito is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and friend. He published his first book, The 9 Secrets of Sticky Families when he was 24 years old. The said book became a finalist in the Cardinal Sin Catholic Book Awards in Family Life Category in 2015. His other works include Confessions of an Ex-Seminarian and Start with P1,000 in the Stock Market. Jaizy Tanawe is also an author, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur. Her passion to help young people find their life purpose so they can pursue things they truly value inspired her to write the book, “Awaken the greatness in you: 8 keys to unlock the greatness in you to achieve success and make a difference!” Her newest book is entitled "I'm Tired! I Give Up! A Teen's Survival Guide for Growing up." In the shortest episode so far, we talk about our passion for writing and go back to how we picked up a pen. We also briefly share about how writing affects our mental health and vice versa.

After an unplanned summer break, Beer Time with Books is BACK with the OG three talking about our 5th book of season 2: Omensetter's Luck by William H. Gass. We talk about the legitimacy of luck, the sexual tension of the 1890s, and one wild reverend. Stay tuned for part two in our next episode.You can comment on a "video" version of this podcast on Brian's Book Bastion on YouTube.
Good luck summarizing this one, nerds! Listen in as we examine William H. Gass’ holy casket of hellfire and judgment, Omensetter’s Luck, a wild stream of preacher prose, suicide and/or murder mystery, and small-town cat gossip. Seemingly intelligent points are made by the B.O.S.S. gang regarding the book’s odd three-part structure, its allusions to original sin, and Gass’ iterative writing process, but in this episode it’s truly just about the words. Cathartic, unhinged, godly (godless?) passages steeped in rhythmic precision and linguistic excess are the focus here, dear listener. Enjoy the wonderful release that comes with reading this gem aloud — it just might get you through our present day IRL reenactment of The Book of Revelation.
Obsessions! Cacophony! Typography! Listen in as we dissect William H. Gass’ post-modern cult classic, Willie Masters’ Lonesome Wife, a bizarre kaleidoscope of killer sentences, 1960s design, and, of course, gratuitous nudity. David argues that the book’s overtly sexual content actually maps to Gass’ love of language. Nathan provides a breakdown of the typefaces and visual strategies at play. And Nick takes a break from musing on the intellectual properties of eroticism to give a shout out to his mom for (theoretically) making it all the way through this episode. Also featuring a guest appearance by Nathan’s cat, which we’re pretty sure Gass would have wholeheartedly supported.

Eighty-seven-year-old, William Gass discusses his new book of essays on the art of crafting words into prose.
In the first quarter of the last century the great men and women of literature were both numerous and grand and they routinely carried out radical and groundbreaking experiments in fictional form. Linguistic virtuosity was the order of the day. Today, we live in a more sedate age, the so-called postmodern era which rejects the notion of high art and … Read more about this episode...
I know, it's been a while. I've been trying to Have A Summer over here, an effort thwarted by an adverse reaction to allergens purportedly getting caught up in butterfly currents on the other side of the world. Either that, or it's the Romantic Lady Writer's Disease, which would be fine by me, inasmuch as any anachronistic way to go down is fine by me. But I do wish it'd forestall another decade.
