Теперь мы все можем выдохнуть и сказать: "Mom, it's not just a phase"

Почему современное общество одержимо смертью, а главное — зачем? Ответы на эти вопросы вы найдете в книге Дины Хапаевой «Занимательная смерть: развлечения эпохи постгуманизма», которая совсем скоро выйдет в издательстве «НЛО». А пока предлагаем ознакомиться с фрагментом, посвященным танатологии и вампиризму вселенной Гарри Поттера.

Отличный текст Евгении Некрасовой про Салли Руни: миллениалы хотели бы жить в её книгах (не думать о деньгах, думать друг о друге), но не могут. Миллениалы в России ещё и не могут пока об этом читать и писать.

Новости и правда хорошие

Две новости (обе хорошие).

Первая. У «Новой газеты» появился свой книжный подкаст.

Вторая. Его веду я вместе с книжным обозревателем, главредом портала «Гидра» и журналистом Владимиром Ереминым.

В «Книжной ссылке» мы обсуждаем то, как актуальные социально-политические проблемы попадают на страницы книг – и как писатели размышляют об этих проблемах, задавая острые вопросы и предлагая способы решения.

Первый выпуск посвящен домашнему насилию. Какова ситуация с домашним насилием в сегодняшней России? Когда писатели впервые задумались об этой проблеме и как изображали жертв и виновников насилия? Какие пути решения предлагают авторы сегодня и почему целых двадцать лет после Павла Санаева российские писатели не затрагивали тему насилия в семье?

Слушать нас можно в

ВК
Castbox,
скоро и на других платформах.

Перевела тут для нашего замечательного книжного клуба беседу с корейским автором про собирание моллюсков, чтение Карла Сагана, грыжу межпозвоночного диска и про то, при чём здесь вообще писательство.

Дорогие друзья,
из карантина планируем чаще радовать вас материалами о корейской литературе.
Сегодня мы хотим поделиться переводом интервью с Хан Чанхуном с портала Korean Literature Now. Его сборник рассказов "Мне здесь нравится" переведён на русский язык.
Интервью провёл писатель и переводчик Джейсон Вудрафф (который тот же самый сборник перевёл на английский язык) - и, думаем, вы поймёте, почему мы выбрали этот материал для периода самоизоляции.
Оригинал здесь.
Здоровья и приятного чтения!

Написала тут сама про "Семилетнюю ночь", наконец

Ваша лента наверняка сейчас вся в списке Большой книги - и женщин-писательниц там всего треть.
Женская премия за художественную литературу пару дней назад представила свой шорт-лист. Это, конечно, зарубежная премия, но там может найтись что-нибудь интересное для тех, кто хотел бы читать побольше писательниц:

Angie Cruz, "Dominicana"
Fifteen-year-old Ana Cancion never dreamed of moving to America, the way the girls she grew up with in the Dominican countryside did. But when Juan Ruiz proposes and promises to take her to New York City, she has to say yes. It doesn't matter that he is twice her age, that there is no love between them. Their marriage is an opportunity for her entire close-knit family to eventually immigrate. So on New Year's Day, 1965, Ana leaves behind everything she knows and becomes Ana Ruiz, a wife confined to a cold six-floor walk-up in Washington Heights. Lonely and miserable, Ana hatches a reckless plan to escape. But at the bus terminal, she is stopped by Cesar, Juan's free-spirited younger brother, who convinces her to stay.
As the Dominican Republic slides into political turmoil, Juan returns to protect his family's assets, leaving Cesar to take care of Ana. Suddenly, Ana is free to take English lessons at a local church, lie on the beach at Coney Island, see a movie at Radio City Music Hall, go dancing with Cesar, and imagine the possibility of a different kind of life in America. When Juan returns, Ana must decide once again between her heart and her duty to her family.

Bernardine Evaristo, "Girl, Woman, Other"
Girl, Woman, Other is a magnificent portrayal of the intersections of identity and a moving and hopeful story of an interconnected group of Black British women that paints a vivid portrait of the state of contemporary Britain and looks back to the legacy of Britain's colonial history in Africa and the Caribbean.
The twelve central characters of this multi-voiced novel lead vastly different lives: Amma is a newly acclaimed playwright whose work often explores her Black lesbian identity; her old friend Shirley is a teacher, jaded after decades of work in London's funding-deprived schools; Carole, one of Shirley's former students, is a successful investment banker; Carole's mother Bummi works as a cleaner and worries about her daughter's lack of rootedness despite her obvious achievements. From a nonbinary social media influencer to a 93-year-old woman living on a farm in Northern England, these unforgettable characters also intersect in shared aspects of their identities, from age to race to sexuality to class.
Sparklingly witty and filled with emotion, centering voices we often see othered, and written in an innovative fast-moving form that borrows technique from poetry, Girl, Woman, Other is a polyphonic and richly textured social novel that shows a side of Britain we rarely see, one that reminds us of all that connects us to our neighbors, even in times when we are encouraged to be split apart.

Natalie Haynes, "A Thousand Ships"
In A Thousand Ships, broadcaster and classicist Natalie Haynes retells the story of the Trojan War from an all-female perspective.
This was never the story of one woman, or two. It was the story of all of them…
In the middle of the night, Creusa wakes to find her beloved Troy engulfed in flames. Ten seemingly endless years of brutal conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans are over, and the Greeks are victorious. Over the next few hours, the only life she has ever known will turn to ash . . .
The devastating consequences of the fall of Troy stretch from Mount Olympus to Mount Ida, from the citadel of Troy to the distant Greek islands, and across oceans and sky in between. These are the stories of the women embroiled in that legendary war and its terrible aftermath, as well as the feud and the fatal decisions that started it all…
Powerfully told from an all-female perspective, A Thousand Ships gives voices to the women, girls and goddesses who, for so long, have been silent.

Hilary Mantel, "The Mirror & the Light"
With The Mirror & the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with her peerless, Booker Prize-winning novels, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. She traces the final years of Thomas Cromwell, the boy from nowhere who climbs to the heights of power, offering a defining portrait of predator and prey, of a ferocious contest between present and past, between royal will and a common man's vision: of a modern nation making itself through conflict, passion and courage.
The story begins in May 1536: Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith's son from Putney emerges from the spring's bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.
Cromwell, a man with only his wits to rely on, has no great family to back him, no private army. Despite rebellion at home, traitors plotting abroad and the threat of invasion testing Henry's regime to the breaking point, Cromwell's robust imagination sees a new country in the mirror of the future. All of England lies at his feet, ripe for innovation and religious reform. But as fortune's wheel turns, Cromwell's enemies are gathering in the shadows. The inevitable question remains: how long can anyone survive under Henry's cruel and capricious gaze?
Eagerly awaited and eight years in the making, The Mirror & the Light completes Cromwell's journey from self-made man to one of the most feared, influential figures of his time. Portrayed by Mantel with pathos and terrific energy, Cromwell is as complex as he is unforgettable: a politician and a fixer, a husband and a father, a man who both defied and defined his age.

Maggie O'Farrell, "Hamnet"
England, 1580: The Black Death creeps across the land, an ever-present threat, infecting the healthy, the sick, the old and the young, alike. The end of days is near, but life always goes on.
A young Latin tutor--penniless and bullied by a violent father--falls in love with an extraordinary, eccentric young woman. Agnes is a wild creature who walks her family's land with a falcon on her glove and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer, understanding plants and potions better than she does people. Once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband, whose career on the London stage is taking off when his beloved young son succumbs to sudden fever.
A luminous portrait of a marriage, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by grief and loss, and a tender and unforgettable re-imagining of a boy whose life has been all but forgotten, and whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays of all time, Hamnet is mesmerizing, seductive, impossible to put down--a magnificent leap forward from one of our most gifted novelists.

Jenny Offill, "Weather"
Lizzie Benson slid into her job as a librarian without a traditional degree. But this gives her a vantage point from which to practice her other calling: she is a fake shrink. For years she has tended to her God-haunted mother and her recovering addict brother. They have both stabilized for the moment, but Lizzie has little chance to spend her new free time with husband and son before her old mentor, Sylvia Liller, makes a proposal. Sylvia has become famous for her prescient podcast, Hell and High Water, and wants to hire Lizzie to answer the mail she receives: from left-wingers worried about climate change and right-wingers worried about the decline of western civilization.
As Lizzie dives into this polarized world, she begins to wonder what it means to keep tending your own garden once you've seen the flames beyond its walls. When her brother becomes a father and Sylvia a recluse, Lizzie is forced to address the limits of her own experience--but still she tries to save everyone, using everything she's learned about empathy and despair, conscience and collusion, from her years of wandering the library stacks . . . And all the while the voices of the city keep floating in--funny, disturbing, and increasingly mad.
