With deftness and skill, journalist Lili Anolik uses Babitz, Babitz's brilliance of observation, Babitz's incisive intelligence and, most of all, Babitz's diary-like letters, as the key to unlocking Didion. Franklin Avenue was the making of one great American writer: Joan Didion, a mystery behind her dark glasses and cool expression, her marriage to John Gregory Dunne as tortured as it was enduring. It was also the breaking and then the remaking - and thus the true making - of another great American writer: Eve Babitz.

Hölderlin war niemals verrückt. In der Konsequenz des Leben-und-besingen-Müssens einer eigentlichen Lebensbejahung, der Annahme des Leides und des Glaubens an die göttliche und liebende Grundstimmung der menschlichen Seele, musste Hölderlin von seinen Mitmenschen, insbesondere von seiner Mutter, für verrückt erklärt werden. Er hat das Angebot angenommen.

Was Rilke mit anderen "offenen Quellen" dieser Geistesströmung, wie Nietzsche, Heine, Kierkegaard und Hölderlin gemeinsam hat, ist das Vertrauen in den Menschen, ohne das der Mut zur Redlichkeit, zu einem unverstellten Glauben niemals möglich wäre. Das existenziell-philosophische Lebensverständnis Rilkes in enger Verbindung mit Bildern seines Lebens anzudeuten, soll in diesem Hörbuch versucht sein.

Ein ganz anderes, farbigeres Bild erscheint, wenn man die zahlreichen literarischen Fragmente, die Tagebücher und Briefe Kafkas mit einbezieht — in all diesen Genres hat sich seine sprachliche Produktivität entfaltet, und erst in der Gesamtschau werden viele heitere, komische, groteske Facetten sichtbar, die mit seinem düsteren Nimbus als eigentlich unvereinbar gelten. Dabei gibt es einen Kafka zu entdecken, der offenbar Freude hat am Spiel mit Formen, Einfällen und Pointen.

Grund für diese ablehnende Haltung ist jedoch eine Verwechslung oder fälschliche Synonymisierung. Doch diese Deutung erweist sich als zu einseitig, denn im Mindesten war Heine ambivalent: zu Gott verhielt er sich mit den Worten Zuckmayers wie ein "gläubigster Zweifler" und zur Deutschen Romantik wie ein Fliehender und Suchender zugleich.

In his first autobiographical work, Jack Kerouac reveals exhilarating stories of the years he spent traveling, while writing his acclaimed novels. His journeys took him from California deserts crisscrossed by train tracks to the bullfights of Mexico to the Beat nightlife of New York City and across the Atlantic to Paris, Morocco, and London. He also writes about relationship, jobs, and the nature of life on the road. Here are echoes of landscapes that appear in some of his novels, including The Dharma Bums and Desolation Angels.

Long before she was a rare book dealer, Rebecca Romney was a devoted reader of Jane Austen. She loved that Austen’s books took the lives of women seriously, explored relationships with wit and confidence, and always, allowed for the possibility of a happy ending. She read and reread them, often wishing Austen wrote just one more. But Austen wasn’t a lone genius. She wrote at a time of great experimentation for women writers—and clues about those women, and the exceptional books they wrote, are sprinkled like breadcrumbs throughout Austen’s work.

Milena Busquets practica en estos diarios una escritura de pinceladas impresionistas y logra que de lo cotidiano, de lo en apariencia anodino, emerja la epifanía. Este es un diario sobre días tristes y días felices −"La euforia y la felicidad absolutas están a un milímetro del ataque de pánico"−, escrito sin trampa ni cartón, sin falsos pudores, ni engolada pompa. Escrito siguiendo esta premisa: "Uno escribe solo ante el peligro, no hay otra manera honesta de hacerlo, el menor atisbo de autocomplacencia es una señal de cobardía.
