Inspiring that she dispensed with speech marks

loved the series! I haven't read the book. It's so lovely to hear.

Helen Thompson making quite a rude point by not even bothering to sit upright. And womanspreading for the whole room. How tedious she is. Anyhoo, I hope everyone takes the time to read A Place of Greater Safety, because it is fabulous, thrilling, and very brilliantly constructed.

I don't think I'll be voraciously devouring her books.

Low interest .

C'est tellement interessant ce qu'il dit, vraiment très perspicace, j'adore !

Shit

She’s an antisemitic dilettante. Boycott her books!

Ollsow.

May you'll write about the killing of Gonzalo Lira?

Are you writing about the corrupt dictatorship in Ukraine??

There is a reason why writers mustn't read their own writings. Love is lacking.

I've just read Normal People. I found it so sexist that I can't imagine what would have happened if it had been written by a male author. In the end is just a kind of Cinderella retold in desguise of modernity. A poor woman suffers abuses at home, by her brother and mother (in my opinion, them, and the dead father are the most interesting characers of the book). She is unable to do nothing about it. Neither when she is abused at school or parties. In the end, she thinks she deserves it. She develops a taste for submisive sex, but can't enjoy it, just with one Prince Charming, who rescues her in the end and knows how to make her feel submitted although he does'nt enjoy dominant role. So poor girl tale, all over again. I think Sally Rooney is the next Donna Tartt: all hype, great personality but very few things to offer on the litterary side. A cross between Barbara Cartland and the BDSM stories of Anne Rice, but with a twist of contemporary litterary workshop to make it feel modern, the voice of a generation, and so on.

Not Sally predicting Covid lowkey

I adore this man. The South Bank Show was fantastic and the podcast; "In our time" is bloody brilliant! I would recommend that to all. You learn so much from Socrates to Mozart to Culture. It goes on....Thank you Sir.❤

'What do you mean by an 'authentic life'? Satre, baby! Satre!

DEEP, Excellent interview, Mr. Louis. I was quite surprised when I heard your statement about your mother's real name. My name is Monique, also. Three Cheers!!!

'When he stood up on the stage the poem performed him', rather than vice versa - Alice Oswald on Ted Hughes.

For me the reason to not wanting to top smoking was that it allowed a 'time out' from life/reality to have a smoke. Like every cig was a pause button, very addictive...

Of course we don't have to resort to shaming there are other incentives like financial penalties and flogging.

This is a great interview, amazing job by Kishani Widyaratna

Her face reminds me of Olivia Rodrigo

Grown up author reading their book to a grown up audience is, to me, weird.

My favorite author ❤

I’m feeling I’m close

Loved the interaction. Appreciate you both! Exceptional talent ❤

This was great.

love Ben whishaw speaking voice and I am a huge fan of him and his acting and love his British accent

I’m confused. Is a novel or a memoir? It reads like a memoir and the author speaks of it like a memoir but it’s called a novel. How is it fiction? The question about his use of vernacular and literary French is very interesting and lost in translation. I just finished reading Ernesto a 1953 novel by Italian poet and writer Umberto Saba who wrote it in similar way using the various lingos of his Trieste community but again lost in translation.

nam castum esse decet pium poetam ipsum narratulus nihil necesse est

Absolute Bliss!

Is it just his bad reading, or the bad english translation or just the demand to get invested in this totally uninteresting text that makes me not interested in Knausagard?

Immensely interesting video, thank you!

This is by far the best interview with Knausgård I have seen so far. Thanks for asking some challenging questions (Yes I know I'm 9 years late)

I congratulate those who (for many good reasons) choose not to bring children into this world. I am 62. I decided not to father any children at 18 (when I was living in Ankara, Turkey). I am proud that I remained vocal about my opposition to human population growth. (I hope to plant many trees, edible plants, and enable whales, elephants, tigers, pandas, cheetahs, ... to propagate.)

This is the first interview I've watched of Sally's and I'm so in awe of how full her humanity is. She is just incredible. (The hosts facial expressions during Q&A were iconic too ahaha!)

So wonderful thank you

I'm thinking of making an archive of Auster's readings of his books. Anyone who has any idea how it should be done, hit me up

if I were you, I wouldnt call it as ''secret''.

k d lang has let himself go

For anyone interested, that feeling of smoking strong pipe tobacco is a lot like smoking pot the way it’s smoked in the UK/Europe. Mixing it (pot) with tobacco (the ‘spliff’) kills the psychoactive effect and gives this powerful headrush/nausea. It’s also kinda like smoking a cigarette when you haven’t for years.

Ted Hughes(1930-1998)20th century British poet🇬🇧RIP

I think about a GND almost every day. This is such a great talk.

I'd love to see Melvyn Bragg sit down again with Tom Jones, what would be 24 years since the Southbank show special about Tom Jones life and career.

Superb chat - a pleasure to watch
