    Bine Matoh: "Igralec lahko naredi dobro vlogo, ko ima distanco"

    Ob nedavnem jubileju se bomo poklonili igralcu Binetu Matohu, ki je večino svojega opusa ustvaril v Primorskem dramskem gledališču, poznejšem Slovenskem narodnem gledališču Nova Gorica. Za njim je desetine izjemnih vlog, za številne je bil nagrajen. Prejel je tudi Borštnikov prstan. Lani je na odru svojega gledališča nastopil kot kralj Lear – v istoimenski Shakespearjevi igri, ki jo je režiral Ivica Buljan. Pogovor z Binetom Matohom je leta 2018, ko je prejel nagrado tantadruj za življenjsko delo, pripravila Ingrid Kašca Bucik. Po pogovoru pa boste slišali Bineta Matoha, kot je leta 1994 nastopil kot Patriarh oglejski v Krstu pri Savici Dominika Smoleta v režiji Janeza Pipana. S to predstavo so takrat odprli novo gledališče v Novi Gorici.

    Coco Mellors: Cleopatra & Frankenstein and Blue Sisters

    Coco Mellors is the author of two novels, and her love of her craft is just infectious. Her debut, Cleopatra and Frankenstein exploded onto the literary scene in 2022, documenting one couple’s impulsive marriage in New York City and the ripple effect it has on their close circle of friends. Everyone is reading and loving this book, even Carrie Bradshaw who is spotted reading it one scene in And Just Like That. Truly, the highest literary honour. Coco’s second novel, Blue Sisters, was published in 2024. It’s about three sisters who reconnect in their childhood home after their fourth sister has sadly passed away. It takes place across London, New York, Paris, and LA, and tackles themes of grief, sisterhood, and addiction. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    On this episode of Be the Serpent, we're talking about character deaths in fiction. In other words: MURDERRRRRRRRR. The tentpoles this week are "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" by Synecdochic, the first Hunger Games movie, and "Singing My Sister Down" by Margo Lanagan. (Warning: Spoilers!)   What We’ve Been Reading A Useful Woman by Darcie Wilde We Rule the Night by Claire Bartlett Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons Other Stuff We Mentioned Rebecca Kuang’s The Poppy War Black Juice by Margo Lanagan BLEACH Battle Royale Stargate Atlantis Deep Survival Nirvana in Fire Killjoys Spooks Black Sails The Writing Excuses podcast Buffy the Vampire Slayer The 100   For Next Time: Due to the fact that the audio for the witches episode was HAUNTED, we are swapping the topics for Episodes 26 and 27. Despite what we said in the audio of this episode, next week's theme will therefore be about having sex with aliens and monsters, and the tentpole for that episode is the movie "The Shape of Water". Transcription: The transcript of this episode is available here. The highest of fives to our scribes this week: Neharika, Millie, and Kelly!

    Pia Prezelj: Bili smo trije

    Pisateljica Pia Prezelj je objavila svoj drugi roman Bili smo trije. Njena pripoved o ženski, ki pripotuje na otok, da bi izvedela več o svoji mami, je kljub zahtevnim vprašanjem pripovedovana umirjeno, skoraj apolinično. Toda ko junakinja spoznava nove in nove ljudi, ko spoznava otok in ko se ji zastavljajo nova in nova vprašanja, se pripoved čustveno intenzivira. Več o romanu, objavljenem pri Gogi, pove avtorica v Izšlo je v pogovoru z Markom Goljo, posnetim 7. maja. Nikar ne zamudite.

    Matej Bogataj: "Mislim, da je kritik tudi varuh pravic porabnika"

    Matej Bogataj, letošnji prejemnik Stritarjeve nagrade za najboljšega kritika, je v domala štirih desetletjih kritiškega delovanja ustvaril obsežen, tako rekoč nepregleden opus literarnih in gledaliških kritik. Objavljal jih je v skoraj vseh slovenskih časopisih in revijah, pa tudi na valovih nacionalnega radia. Kaj po njegovem mnenju zaznamuje dobro, tehtno literarno kritiko? Kako se je družbena vloga kritika in kritike spreminjala? Tudi o tem smo z njim razmišljali leta 2020, tokrat pa mu lahko ponovno prisluhnete.

    #250. Why Your First Draft Doesn't Match the Book in Your Head (with Gala Russ)

    A book coach who's written 15 novels pulls back the curtain on what's really happening when your messy first draft disappoints you.  Ever finished a chapter, read it back, and realized the words on the page don't match the story in your head? There's a name for that. It's called the “taste gap,” and it often shows up among serious, lifelong readers.  In this episode, I sit down with book coach and publishing strategist Gala Russ (who's written 15 novels) to talk about the taste gap, what a first draft is supposed to look like, and why messy writing is the whole point. This one's for you if you've studied writing for years but still struggle to finish your first draft. Because the taste gap closes when you practice writing more than researching it. Here’s what we talk about: [04:41] Why no number of finished pages ever makes you feel like a real writer, and the loaded questions non-writers often ask that get inside your head.  [13:55] What a real first draft actually looks like behind the scenes and why a scrappy, hodgepodge, messy manuscript is usually a good sign.[19:04] The taste gap explained: why being an avid reader who knows what ‘good’ is can make your own draft feel like the worst thing you've ever read. [23:52] How to know when a book needs more revision, when it’s okay to walk away, and the sunk cost fallacy trap that keeps writers rewriting forever.  [38:37] Why more craft books won't fix a stuck draft, the hidden blocks keeping writers frozen, and Gala's creative workaround for finding writing time in a busy life. Here's what I want you to take away from this episode. The fact that you can read a great book, feel moved by it, then look at your own draft and feel like it's not measuring up, that is not a sign you're not meant to be a writer. It's a sign your taste has developed faster than your skills. And skills are built by writing, not by reading one more craft book. 🔗 Links mentioned in this episode: Gala Russ Website Gala Russ Instagram Take Author Success Quiz (FREE)Sign Up For Notes To Novel ⭐ Follow & Review If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow the show and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!
