Recomendaciones con Fran113.Departamento de especulaciones de Jenny Offill Departamento de especulaciones – Jenny OffillUna novela breve, fragmentaria y profundamente emocional.Una mujer que alguna vez soñó con ser un “gigante del arte” atraviesa una crisis matrimonial, una maternidad abrumadora y una pérdida lenta e íntima de sí misma.La narración avanza a través de fragmentos: pensamientos sueltos, observaciones mínimas, citas, recuerdos y silencios que construyen el retrato de una conciencia en descomposición.📌 En este episodio hablamos de:– La traición amorosa y el quiebre del “yo”– La maternidad real, cansada, contradictoria– El duelo silencioso de quien sigue amando– La...

Die Buch. Der feministische BuchpodcastWie wirkt sich die Klimakrise auf die Psyche aus? - “Weather” von Jenny Offill
Wie hängen die Klimakrise und psychische Gesundheit zusammen? Wie schreibt man über existentielle Katastrophen, die sich so anders als die Apokalypsen anfühlen, die wir aus Büchern und Filmen kennen?
Die Bibliothekarin Lizzie sorgt sich um ihre Familie – und die Klimakrise. In „Weather“ (2020, Knopf Doubleday) zeigt die Autorin Jenny Offill, wie eng gesellschaftliche und persönliche Krisen verknüpft sind. Die Klimakrise und die Trump-Präsidentschaft bleiben dabei keine abstrakten Themen, sondern sind genauso präsent wie eine mögliche Affäre.
Immer mehr Menschen leiden unter der psychischen Belastung der Klimakrise. Desw...

City Arts & LecturesJenny OffillJenny Offill is the author of the novels Last Things, Dept. of Speculation, and, most recently, Weather. One of the pleasures of reading Offill’s books is hearing the emotional struggles and ambivalent attitudes of very honest narrators. In Weather, the concerns of daily life and parenting combine with the looming apocalypse of climate change. Both hilarious and heartbreaking, the novel asks readers to think about the mundane ways we live and grapple with our rapidly deteriorating environment. Offill lives in upstate New York and teaches at Syracuse University and Queens University.

The Writing LifeAttica Locke on Power, Property And PrejudiceIt's a very special episode this week award-winning US author and screenwriter Attica Locke joins us to deliver the annual Noirwich Lecture, in which she explores the ways that crime writing can challenge the distribution of power and authority at a structural and individual level, addressing how power, property and privilege intersect.
Attica’s most recent novel, Heaven, My Home, is an expertly-crafted thriller mystery, but also a sharp examination of ‘Trump-era’ America and issues of race, power, prejudice and white supremacy which still exist today. Her recent work as a television writer and producer includes When They See...

Climate OneStorytelling Through the Climate CrisisHow do we confront the reality of a future that will be hauntingly different from today? Some authors are using fiction to create relatable narratives while sparing us from a deluge of sobering facts that can make audiences feel detached. The dystopian worlds in the films Mad Max and The Hunger Games do the same to both entertain and distance viewers from the realities of an increasingly destabilized climate. Can fiction give access to hopes and fears that we can’t handle in our daily lives? How are authors like Jenny Offill and Roy Scranton using stories that let re...

Literary FrictionLiterary Friction - Obligatory Note Of Hope With Jenny OffillHow do you hold onto hope in the dark? This question feels more pertinent than ever right now, and we couldn't think of anyone we'd rather ask than author Jenny Offill, who we spoke to from our various quarantine locations this month. Her new novel Weather is a sharp, insightful meditation on how regular humans process catastrophe, and while it's particularly about the climate crisis, as you might imagine it’s become weirdly relevant in our current situation too. But listen, rather than bring you a show about catastrophe, we also wanted to make a show about hope. ‘Obligatory note of h...
