Wir sprechen über den Booker-Preis für David Szalay. Und zu guter Letzt erinnern wir an die fantastische Astrid Lindgren. Cheers.

Novelists, including Austen and Dickens, sometimes changed their minds about their endings, using these changes of mind to explore how an ending satisfies, or fails to satisfy, our expectations.The lecture will explore the rise of the indeterminate ending, from Henry James on. And it will suggest how an ending can, for worse as well as for better, retrospectively change our experience of a novel.A lecture by John Mullan recorded on 5 April 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.The transcript and...

Der Literaturpodcast der vergessenen BücherFranßen zu Edward St Aubyn "Zu guter Letzt"Literaturpodcast der vergessenen Bücher
Dass St Aubyn eigene düstere Kindheit als Mitglied des Hochadels die Vorlage für insgesamt fünf Romane bietet, wovon "Zu guter Letzt" der Abschluss der Patrick Melrose Novels ist, zeichnet den zerrüttenden Weg innerer Verletzungen nach, der nur mit beißender Komik beizukommen ist. Das Lächeln dient hier eher dem Zubeißen. Jeder absurde Moment der Fassungslosigkeit endet in Contenance.

ART FICTIONSHANNAH BROWN (and WH Auden)Hannah Brown selects the small but beautiful poem by WH Auden ‘As I Walked Out One Evening'. Written in 1937, it is preoccupied with questions of the eternal, focussing on love versus time. It travels through younger days and the excitement of new loves to a more settled life, when kisses are replaced by health, when the focus of wondering is on how things may have been different and culminates in one’s final moments.

2014-07-2429 min
ALOUD @ Los Angeles Public LibraryLost for WordsEdward St. Aubyn’s five-volume series of semi-autobiographical Patrick Melrose novels is one of the most acclaimed fiction cycles in English literature. Michael Silverblatt talks with St. Aubyn about his first novel since completing his series hailed for its satirizing of the English aristocracy. In Lost for Words, St. Aubyn employs his lethal dose of humor in a send-up of England’s premier literary prize and its controversial, eco-disastrous sponsor. St. Aubyn’s acid pen skewers the competing authors as well as the judges and corporate, political, and media interests that influence such prizes.
