Все още сме будни, защото нямаше как да не си поговорим с част от екипа зад най-голямото литературно събитие в България – Софийския международен литературен фестивал, който от година на година се разраства и а-ха скоро да достигне големите си европейски братя и сестри. Хванахме Василка Ванчева и Дария Карапеткова малко след поредното успешно издание, за да ни разкажат подробности от кухнята – как избират гостите и темите, какво планират и за какво си мечтаят, как се комуникира със световноизвестни писатели и още. Наша част няма поради специалността на епизода.

Вечна памет за Христо Карастоянов – част от книгите му са налични тук

Някои от книгите, авторите, организациите и институциите, които споменаваме:

• „Деликатесен труп“ от Агустина Бастерика в превод на Лилия Добрева, изд. „Рива“ 
• „Перспективата изкуствен интелект“ от Артур Кордон, изд. „Изток-Запад“  
• „Четвърто крило“ от Ребека Ярос в превод на Мариана Христова, изд. „Сиела“
• Нова асоциална поезия 
• Асоциация „Българска книга“ 
• Факултет по класически и нови филологии на Софийския университет „Св. Климент Охридски“ 
• Франко Морети / Ирса Сигурдардотир / Амели Нотомб / Лейла Слимани / Георги Господинов / Дача Мараини / Алберто Моравия / Нарине Абгарян / Лидия Димковска

Новините за тазгодишното издание на Софийския международен литературен фестивал ще се появят тук и тук

We have had some fantastic guests on the show in recent months, but none have been like Paul Gandersman and Peter Hall. For the first time, we have a pair of authors on the show. The Dead Friends Society  is about a group of college friends who are murdered one night. Their spirits are trapped in the house they were murdered, but this turns out to be the least of their problems.

With the possible exception of mysteries, no genre owes more to its literary past than horror. The most beloved creatures can be found in books from centuries ago while stories that are still reused today are incredibly popular. It was well passed time for us to spotlight a book on our humble little podcast.

Any horror fan will notice how the book's cover is  reminiscent of slashers from the 1980s. The pair talk about the genesis of the cover (along with the illustrations within), the evolution of The Dead Friends Society from film to novel, and the creation of The Fireman. There is also talk about what the future holds for two.

Paul and Peter were also nice enough to stick around and talk about a  movie. Their pick? The 1996 classic, Scream. Wes Craven's deconstruction of the slasher is one of the most important horror films of all time (and arguably, the most important of the past thirty years.) It is a film that has been copied and spoofed and entered the mainstream lexicon long ago.

When it comes the film, it is not so much what do you talk about, but where do you begin? The iconic opening, the powerful third act, and the influence of Scream on modern horror are all discussed. Is it fair to say the every horror movie of the 21st century owes a debt of gratitude to the influential movie?

**WATCH ON YOUTUBE** ... When author Christopher Tallon's first novel, SWITCHERS, hits the shelves next month, it will feature a book cover design by host Kirk Ross. Excerpted from a full interview on Chris's podcast "Creative Ops", the duo discusses the creative process, consent in nature, and the risks of using words that end in "phile". Today's featured song is called "Big Sale Improv", inspired by a doozy of a trip to the pot shop.

Marissa chats with Isabel Ibañez about her YA fantasy duology - WOVEN IN MOONLIGHT and WRITTEN IN STARLIGHT - as well as how family stories and history can contribute to your research and add a deeply personal element to the storytelling process; developing strong character arcs when your protagonist's world views are being constantly challenged; using revisions to highlight powerful themes and bring them to the story's surface; and the very cool anomaly of an author designing and illustrating their own cover art. There's also a bit of clever editing as Marissa tries to get spoilers for a possible third book!

Books discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyer

Today we talk with Tim Lapetino, a designer with a journalism background, who co-authored the book Damn Good: Top Designers Discuss Their All-Time Favorite Projects.  He's also written the critically acclaimed book entitled The Art of Atari, which helps secured his place as a Geek Culture Historian. In this episode, we get Tim's take on the role pop culture and image have played in molding who we are. and we hear plans to chronicle Pac Man in his next project.  Tim's innate curiosity that drives him to always ask "Why", along with his indefatigable search for understanding, shows he's always happy to grab that string and fly that kite.  Click here for pics from this episode and past episodes.

Don't judge a book by its cover. A great sentiment in theory...not so much in practice.

In this episode of A Book and A Dream, Megan O'Russell discusses the importance of cover art, including how changing the cover art of a series (Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lunar Chronicles) affects our reading experience.
