Berggasse 8Colm Tóibín: Porträt des Meisters in mittleren Jahren
Schon zu Lebzeiten wurde Henry James »Der Meister« genannt, und schlicht »The Master« ist auch der Titel der Originalausgabe dieser Romanbiografie eines Schriftstellers, aus dessen Briefen und biografischen Äußerungen schon lange bekannt ist, dass er schwul war. Doch was bedeutete es, Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts schwul zu sein? Anders als Oscar Wilde legte Henry James nicht nur äußersten Wert auf das Abschirmen seiner Privatsphäre, und niemals wäre er bereit gewesen, zu einem Thema wie Liebe unter Männern öffentlich Stellung zu nehmen. Die Brechung der Objektivität durch die menschliche Beobachtung, ihre indirekte und unsichere Erfassung und Darstellu...2025-04-0700 min

Notes from America with Kai WrightAuthor Colm Toibin on James Baldwin’s InteriorityAward-winning Irish writer Colm Toibin has long admired James Baldwin, ever since he read “Go Tell It on the Mountain" as a teenager, and has now written a book about him called simply “On James Baldwin.” When he picked “Go Tell It on the Mountain" from a shelf years ago, Toibin hadn’t heard or read anything about the novel, one of Baldwin’s most famous works. And without any pretense, he found himself immersed in the book’s words and characters. Reading it later in life as an accomplished author and professor, Toibin’s respect grew for Baldwin’s skill at depicti...2024-11-0929 min
