Podcasts about young mungo

This event is part of Conversations at the Kiln, a new event series at Kiln Theatre programmed by Intelligence Squared. For more events with speakers from the worlds of literature, art, poetry and politics, click here. Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo, is celebrated globally for his heartbreaking, funny and moving depictions of working-class life, identity and resilience. Born and raised in Glasgow, Stuart's fiction draws heavily from his own experiences growing up as a gay man in Margaret Thatcher's Britain. His debut Shuggie Bain received worldwide acclaim for its searing portrayal of poverty, addiction and one young boy's tumultuous relationship with his mother in 1980s Scotland. It was heralded as a masterpiece by many critics, and received the Booker Prize in 2020; to date, it has sold over a million copies. In his second novel Young Mungo, Stuart returned to the streets of Glasgow to tell an equally compelling story of vulnerability and strength. This coming-of-age tale delves into the forbidden love between two young men, set against the backdrop of sectarian violence and familial expectations. Similarly critically acclaimed, the book cemented Stuart's place as one of today's most compelling literary voices. In February 2025 Stuart joined us live on stage to discuss his literary journey, the inspiration behind his award-winning novels, and his insights on writing honest depictions of marginalised worlds rarely seen in the literary mainstream. With the respected production company A24 set to adapt both novels for the BBC, Stuart also discussed the process of bringing his characters to life on screen. ----- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Both interviews today are with author Douglas Stuart. The first is about his Booker prize-winning Shuggie Bain; a story based on his own life growing up a queer son of a single mother struggling with addiction. He told NPR's Scott Simon that he hoped people could find comfort in this story. Next, Stuart spoke to NPR's Ari Shapiro about his new book, Young Mungo. It's a story about two boys separated by faith who end up falling in love with each other. Stuart told Shapiro that when he "write[s] about heartbreak or sadness, I'm really only doing that to make the tenderness and the love shine more."

Mit „Shuggie Bain“ wurde der Schotte Stuart zum Booker Prize-Träger und zum Star. Sein zweiter Roman knüpft daran an: Zwei Jungen im Glasgow der 1990er-Jahre, die sich lieben. Die harte Außenwelt Glasgows steht dagegen.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2023/04/29/thinking-aloud-about-film-the-bill-douglas-trilogy/ We discuss The Bill Douglas Trilogy. The first with it's echoes of Maxim Gorky must be one of the greatest films in the history of cinema, and a discovery. My Ain Folk, also medium length, we also claim is a great film. We hae greater doubts about the third film, My Own Way Home, the only one that really qualifies as feature length. We compare the films to Turkish films we've been seeing recently that describe a way of life that seems centuries old. We also compare the works to the novels of Douglas Stuart (Shuggie Bain; Young Mungo). Lastly, we wonder to what extent class bias affected Bill Douglas' career, a talent as is evident here with such a short filmography....

Nicola Steiner, Elke Heidenreich, Philipp Tingler und – als Gast – Campino diskutieren über «Besser allein als in schlechter Gesellschaft» von Adriana Altaras, «Young Mungo» von Douglas Stuart, «Gentleman über Bord» von Herbert Clyde Lewis sowie über «An das Wilde glauben» von Nastassja Martin. Für einmal tauscht Andreas Frege, Campinos bürgerlicher Name, die grosse Bühne gegen eine übersichtliche Diskussionsrunde: Im «Literaturclub» vom April nimmt das Gesicht der erfolgreichen deutschen Band Die Toten Hosen neben Moderatorin Nicola Steiner, Elke Heidenreich und Philipp Tingler Platz und diskutiert wichtige Bücher des Monats; etwa «Gentleman über Bord» von Herbert Clyde Lewis, das Campino für die Sendung ausgewählt hat. Das Werk über einen New Yorker Börsenmakler in den Fluten des Pazifiks wurde bereits 1937 geschrieben und erscheint jetzt erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung. Die Bücher der Sendung sind: – «Gentleman über Bord» von Herbert Clyde Lewis; – «An das Wilde glauben» von Nastassja Martin; – «Young Mungo» von Douglas Stuart; und – «Besser allein als in schlechter Gesellschaft» von Adriana Altaras.

Tender hearted children growing up in oppressive and claustrophobic societies dominate the two novels chosen by the journalist and musician, Ari Shapiro. The first is Douglas Stuart's acclaimed sophomore novel, Young Mungo; the second is Belinda Huijuan Tang's A Map for the Missing. As one of the hosts for NPR's flagship program, All Things Considered, listeners will  be familiar with Shapiro's flair for bringing a lively curiosity to the world around us, whether it be reporting from India on rising sea levels, or Afghanistan in the company of the President. But while he has met more than his fair share of world leaders, scientists, and business executives, when he wants to really understand the world, he most often turns to novels. “The conversations that help me see the world most clearly are generally not with researchers, policy makers, or so-called experts,” Shapiro writes in his new book, The Best Strangers in the World. “They aren't with the people journalists crassly call ‘newsmakers' at all. They're with artists–especially writers.”

Scottish novelist Douglas Stuart discusses his latest work, Young Mungo, with Omar El Akkad in this conversation at Powell's Books.

Uno de los libros que estoy leyendo actualmente es una novela llamada Young Mungo. Está ambientada en un barrio obrero del Glasgow de los años 90. Cuando leo ficción en inglés intento escuchar el audiolibro al mismo tiempo. Esto me ayuda a conocer cómo se pronuncian correctamente las palabras que no conozco. Esta práctica de leer y escuchar al mismo tiempo la llevo practicando bastantes años, sin embargo, es la primera vez que escucho un audiolibro con un narrador con acento escocés. Es evidente que en la elección de determinados tipos de acentos para elegir quién narra un audiolibro existen preferencias. Algo similar ocurre con el español, parece que ciertos acentos gozan de un mayor prestigio y aceptación. Hoy vamos a hablar de glotofobia, es decir, la discriminación a causa del acento. O dicho de otra forma: que te juzguen por cómo hablas y no por lo que dices. Para hablar de este tema tengo conmigo a un compañero, Antonio, profesor de español, y creador de Spanish with Antonio. Recuerda leer la guía de vocabulario antes de escuchar el episodio, te será más fácil entenderlo. ¡Aprende mucho y disfruta!

On this week's Richard Crouse Show we meet Douglas Stuart. His first novel, "Shuggie Bain," won a shelfful of major awards, including the Booker Prize, in 2020. It told the story of an alcoholic single mother and her children living in a Glasgow tenement in the 1990s. His new novel, "Young Mungo" centers on a romance between two teenage boys - one Protestant, one Catholic. It is a gripping and revealing story about the meaning of masculinity, the push and pull of family, the violence faced by so many queer people, and the dangers of loving someone too much. In this interview we talk about growing up in Glasgow, how writing became his second career and why he named his main character after the patron saint of Glasgow. Then, we'll meet Tegan and Sara, the Grammy and Academy Award nominated, identical twin sisters behind the earworm “Everything is Awesome” from “The Lego Movie” and many ither hits. But we're not talking about music today. We're here to chat about their latest project, a new television pm Amazon Prime show based on their memoir High School.

The Scottish novelist Douglas Stuart is a master of writing about tender souls in tough spaces. He is a tender soul himself, having grown up gay in working class Glasgow with an alcoholic mother (she  died when he was 16), an experience that informs both his debut novel, Shuggie Bain, which won the Booker Prize, and his 2022 follow-up, Young Mungo. In both books, Stuart has created indelible portraits of complicated mothers and their conflicted sons trying to navigate a hostile and soul-sapping world. “I'm always writing about loneliness and belonging and love,” he has said. “That's what keeps me coming back to the page.” Loneliness and belonging and love might also be what draws Stuart to the defiant heroine of Alan Warner's 1995 novel, Morvern Callar, and the tempestuous and violent world of 17th century soldiers in Cromwell's New Model Army in Maria McCann's As Meat Loves Salt, the two books he has chosen to talk about in this episode of Shelf Life.

Booker Prize-winning Scottish novelist Douglas Stuart speaks with Kathryn Ryan about his new novel, Young Mungo which is breaking hearts. Young Mungo develops into a romance between two teenage boys. Mungo is Protestant, James is Catholic. Their relationship is forbidden on so many levels. Set in the early '90s in hard-bitten Glaswegian tenements riven with sectarian violence, where unemployed former shipbuilders "rot in front of daytime tv" and real men prove themselves as thugs. Young Mungo is a story exploring the bounds of masculinity, the magnetism and disappointment of family, the violence experienced by many queer people, and the dangers of falling in love. Douglas Stuart is Glagwegian born and bred. He won the Booker Prize two years ago for his first novel, Shuggie Bain, finally trying his hand at writing age 40, after a glittering career in fashion design.

 The 2020 Booker Prize winner, Douglas Stuart, spoke to me about his sensational second novel, Young Mungo. Stuart became an international writing sensation after his debut novel, Shuggie Bain, won the Booker, and gained him countless readers and fans in the literary world. In this episode, we explored the story of Mungo in great detail. As I summated in a review recently ( https://www.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times-daily/opinion-and-analysis/2022-05-19-book-review-the-quiet-violence-of-young-mungo/ ), "Young Mungo is set in Glasgow and tells the story of Mungo and his family. They are a working-class Protestant family, with plenty of trials and tribulations. His mom, Maureen, is an alcoholic. His brother, Hamish, several years older, is addicted to violence, and his sister Jodie, desperate to escape the horror of their circumstances, is forced to play mother to her younger brother Mungo because Maureen is never around."Stuart started off reading from a scene in which a neighbour, Mrs Campbell, appears to defend her husband who had beaten her up, resisting the moral criticism of him from young Jodie. We discussed, in some detail, the complexities of this scene, and the issues they surface, including the brutalising effect that working on the ships and in the mines had on many men in working-class communities. Without excusing domestic violence, Young Mungo examines the class fissures in 1980s and 1990s Glasgow and Britain that led to some of the social ills that are illuminated throughout the novel including alcholism, religious bigotry, domestic violence, etcetera. The whole episode is riveting. Have a listen!

The 2020 Booker Prize winner, Douglas Stuart, spoke to Eusebius McKaiser about his sensational second novel, Young Mungo. Stuart became an international writing sensation after his debut novel, Shuggie Bain, won the Booker, and gained him countless readers and fans in the literary world. In this episode of Eusebius on TimesLIVE, they explored the story of Mungo in great detail. "Young Mungo is set in Glasgow and tells the story of Mungo and his family. They are a working-class Protestant family, with plenty of trials and tribulations. His mom, Maureen, is an alcoholic. His brother, Hamish, several years older, is addicted to violence, and his sister Jodie, desperate to escape the horror of their circumstances, is forced to play mother to her younger brother Mungo because Maureen is never around." Stuart and McKaiser ended with a discussion about the biographical aspects of being a writer (and now an internationally successful one at that), and finally about how his work should be classified (if at all). They meditated, in particular, on the pros and cons of being reduced to or regarded as "a queer writer".

I invited Daily Maverick's Mark Heywood (himself an author, and also a well-known activist who has spent decades fighting for justice) to join me to talk about Young Mungo, the second novel written by brilliant Douglas Stuart. Stuart won the Booker Prize for his stunning debut, Shuggie Bain.I couldn't ask for a better guest than Mark. He has a deep love of literature and of reading - he really remains a student of literature - and he found the evocative writing of Stuart in both of his novels to be moving, and a brilliant exposition of important structural realities and injustices in Great Britain that endure beyond the 1980s. In this podcast episode, we delved into the major themes of these works (with a closer focus on Young Mungo). With Mark's intimate knowledge of the country where he spent time during his early years (he was schooled in Yorkshire), and of his beloved South Africa, he shone light on the many interesting layers beneath the shocking, dramatic and melancholic storylines of/in Young Mungo. The comparisons between Glasgow/Scotland, and our own community/communities here, are manifold. [Enjoy the podcast. Buy the book.

Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher are joined by acclaimed artist and writer Celia Paul to speak about her latest book Letters to Gwen John, an epistolary memoir addressed to the Welsh painter Gwen John, who lived and worked in Paris in the late 19th and early 20th century. Paul explores the connections between herself and John, who was a passionate defender of her own artistic practice, as well the lover of a much older, much more established man, the sculptor and painter Auguste Rodin. In her letters to John, Paul considers what it means to be a woman and an artist, as well as a mother and a romantic partner. Also, Douglas Stuart, author of Young Mungo, returns to recommend Maria McCann's As Meat Loves Salt.

Set in the East end of Glasgae - Scottish for Glasgow for those who aren't in the know - this beautiful/heartbreaking/stunning/tearjerking novel is all about what it means to be stuck within the confines of a repressive existence. We implore you to read this book and if you don't it means you've not led a full life so there. And trust us, the only bevvie to slosh it down ya neck with is an inordinately strong voddy with Irn Bru.After Mungo, it's briefly back to Selling Sunset (turns out Sarah was right about witnessing Chrishell and Jason's demise) before we both decide to call our mums/mams like the zany wacky podcasters you know and love.Naked cuddles x Hosted on Acast.

American singer, musician and model Ava Cherry on her collaboration with David Bowie - Booker Prize winning author Douglas Stuart brings us back to working class sectarian Glasgow for a love story called Young Mungo - Miasma, by Colin Murphy, a new pandemic play at Richmond Barracks.

Author Douglas Stewart writes vividly about addiction, love and queer adolescence in working-class Glasgow. He wrote Booker Prize-winning "Shuggie Bain" and the new novel "Young Mungo." And, Michael Madigan was the speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives for 36 years, the longest reign of any legislative leader in the country. A new book tells the story of his rise from Chicago machine politics and his fall from grace amid a corruption investigation.

“I knew that after writing this sweeping family portrait that goes over about 40 years in the Bain family's history, that for my next novel, I wanted to write something that was very focused, that was quite propulsive, and quite edited in the scope and the time that we spend with the characters. And so, for me, it was about romance. It's about that love between these two young men.” Douglas Stuart has charmed more than a million and a half readers with his National Booker Award and Booker Prize-winning debut novel, Shuggie Bain. Douglas joins us on the show to talk about his incredible new novel, Young Mungo, optimism, writing about the working class and being gay, masculinity, love, mobility, Margaret Thatcher's legacy, the importance of having a plan before you sit down to write, the writers who inspire him, and much more with Poured Over's host, Miwa Messer. And we end the episode with a TBR Topoff segment featuring Margie and Marc.   Featured Books: Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart How Late It Was, How Late by James Kelman Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy   Poured Over is hosted and produced by Miwa Messer. This episode was mixed by Chris Gillespie. Follow us here for new episodes Tuesdays and Thursdays (with occasional Saturdays).   A full transcript of this show is available here.

Both interviews today are with author Douglas Stuart. The first about his Booker prize-winning Shuggie Bain; a story based on his own life growing up a queer son of a single mother struggling with addiction. He told NPR's Scott Simon that he hoped people could find comfort in this story. Next, Stuart spoke to NPR's Ari Shapiro about his new book, Young Mungo. It's a story about two boys separated by faith who end up falling in love with each other. Stuart told Shapiro that when he "write[s] about heartbreak or sadness, I'm really only doing that to make the tenderness and the love shine more."

Douglas Stuart is the 2020 Booker Prize winning author. His story is one of survival, perseverance and defying people's expectations. Douglas' incredible debut novel Shuggie Bain was inspired by his upbringing in Glasgow, a time when he describes himself as a young queer son of a single mother struggling with addiction and poverty. Following his mother's death, Douglas fended for himself and remarkably went on to study fashion at the Royal College of art in London where he was recognised and moved to New York to work for some of the biggest fashion brands in the world. He still lives in New York but now finally, after many rejections, as a writer, an acclaimed writer. Revisiting his past and putting pen to paper changed everything for him. His writing is so immersive, due to his granular descriptions of the worlds his characters inhabit. They struggle against and around brutal violence and substance use and always with the backdrop of relentless poverty. His stories are sad, and frightening and viscerally told. His books take over your world and you can't forget them. Here he shares the story of his life changes with Annie. Stuart's second novel Young Mungo will be published this Thursday (14th April).
