Every reality needs fiction. Pedro Almodóvar learnt this much from his mother, who once worked as a letter reader in her village, imaginatively embellishing the local correspondence. In the title story to a new book of stories he has described as a "fragmentary autobiography", Almodóvar narrates his final farewell to his mother. "The Last Dream" is one of 12 stories in which the world-famous filmmaker behind "All About My Mother" and "Talk to Her" proves himself to be also a talented literary writer. Written in widely varying genres, the stories come from very different periods of the 74-year-...

Writers group PEN America announced it’s cancelling its annual awards ceremony – just a week before it was set to take place in New York City – after dozens of authors dropped out over the literary organisation’s response to Israel’s war on Gaza. Sixty-one authors and translators were nominated for awards, with 28 of them withdrawing their books from consideration, according to a statement released on Monday. PEN, a literary and free expression organisation, hands out hundreds of thousands of US dollars in prizes each year, including $75,000 (€70,000) for the PEN/Jean Stein Award for best book...

Today is UNESCO World Book Day, a celebration to promote the enjoyment of books and reading. Each year, events take place all over the world to recognize the scope of books - a link between the past and the future, a bridge between generations and across cultures. In order to celebrate, the Euronews Culture team has answered a series of six questions each regarding their reading history - a sort of "Books Of Our Lives". Here's what we came up with.

If the centenary is an appropriate anniversary for assessing a book’s staying power, then it’s probably about time to acknowledge that Graham Greene was wrong. The "Brighton Rock" author made the rookie mistake of trying to look through the mists of time when he declared: “There is no novelist of [the 20th century] more likely to live than Ford Madox Ford.” But if, 100 years after its first volume was published in April 1924, you went searching for a copy of "Parade’s End" in your local bookshop, you might find yourself more unlucky than if you were looking for, say, a paperback of Greene’s "T...

If there was anyone who imagined that, after kowtowing to Boris Johnson throughout his dismal premiership, leading her own dangerous and divisive culture war campaign for the Tory party leadership contest, crashing the UK economy in one afternoon, and resigning after a mere seven weeks as Prime Minister, Liz Truss would beat a quiet, shamefaced retreat from the public eye, then those people - and there can’t have been many - need to think again. Today, the shortest-serving British Prime Minister ever releases her new book, the ominously (and poorly) titled 'Ten Years to Save the West: Lessons ...

New York (AFP) - "Knife", a memoir by Salman Rushdie released on Tuesday, recounts the near-fatal stabbing at a public event in 2022 that left him blind in one eye and his journey to healing. The Indian-born author, a British and naturalized American based in New York, has faced death threats since his 1988 novel "The Satanic Verses" was declared blasphemous by Iran's supreme leader, making Rushdie a global symbol of free speech. After going unscathed for years, a knife-wielding assailant jumped on stage at an arts gathering in rural New York state and stabbed Rushdie multiple times in the nec...

“I was seated at stage right,” Salman Rushdie read from his upcoming memoir, about the knife attack that almost claimed his life and left him blind in one eye. “Then, in the corner of my right eye – the last thing my right eye would ever see – I saw the man in black running toward me down the right-hand side of the seating area. Black clothes, black face mask. He was coming in hard and low. A squat missile. “I confess, I had sometimes imagined my assassin rising up in some public forum or other, and coming for me in just this way. So my first thought when I saw this murderous shape rushing tow...
