Elizabeth Gilbert: The Signature of All Things
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Elizabeth Gilbert is famous for her self-discovery memoir, Eat, Pray, Love - the international bestseller that became a travel phenomenon, a Hollywood movie and an inspiration to women the world over. But before she was a poster-girl for finding yourself through travel, she was a much-praised novelist and a National Book Award winner, with four books under her belt.
Her first novel in 13 years, The Signature of All Things - a wildly imaginative literary page-turner - has met with a rapturous critical reception.
In this conversation with Caroline Baum, Gilbert reveals the stories and influences behind the book’s scientific trailblazer Alma Whittaker - and her grappling with the ethical, social and sexual constraints of the era in which the story is set. Whittaker, we learn, is a character constructed of minutely considered decisions by the author.
Gilbert also shares how she achieved a fine balance between the historical and contemporary - and how she sets about voicing the narration in her work.
Elizabeth's talks,interviews,etc... are so rich and delightful.You can hear her speak for hours and never get bored.And there's always something to learn.
Hello ,my name is christine from Hamilton, Ontario, I just want to say that I'm 59 years old and I've never pick up a book my whole life, my brother bought me Eat Pray love for Christmas and I've been wanting to see that movie but never did ,so one day I was thinking I'm going to pick up that book and try and read it ,well I could not stop reading it ,it was amazing u are amazing it made me feel like I could feel what u went threw ,I could relate, now I plan on reading every book u have out . I listen to you on RUclips as much as I could ,u make me feel like I can do anything so thank u so much for writing such amazing books ,keep them coming 😊❤🦋🌈
that is so good,cuz now u have found a great author to read.
for me, i skim a book first to see if it's worth reading, & if it is, i read slow, & maybe go over a paragraph or two, or some pages so that i can let the words sink in.
or to wonder how i would say it differently...or what made it perfect just the way it is.
& to let the words reverberate off the inner walls & canyons...
For 😃 sure, !!!
She is a very 🔥🔥🔥 person n her creative love of writing that she is definitely a wonderful person.
I just finished the book…sobbed for a few hours and then searched for interviews! What a wonder you have created! So grateful for all the research and for the fact that you put yourself out there unabashedly! There are statements in this book that will last with me forever and I truly appreciate the life-changing novel! Love this interview as well! Kudos! ❤
I love this woman! Omg she's incredible!
She's so amazing!! One of my biggest inspirations 🥰
This was so brilliant! 😭 cannot believe no one asked about Ambrose or after she explained getting of your way and not caring if it’s perfect just get it out but then draw that back to alma dying without publishing!
Poor Ambrose. I was thinking about him today. The way Alma just flung him to the other side of the world and he didn't even put up a fight! 😂😭 I would've loved to hear more about him too.
Love this. You're my favourite teacher!
Thank you for this! I just read Signature for the second time, and loved it all over again: a page-turner plot; great historical research; inspiring characters. It was a delight to hear the author talk about her work here, and learn about some of her methods. With love from Cape Town!
Thank you both. You have a wonderful enthusiasm and openness Elizabeth and it is definitely supported by this finely crafted intelligent interview.
Thank you Elizabeth and Caroline and the WheelerCentre for creating this and making it available to everyone. I enjoyed this conversation so very much! I feel embraced and inspired not just to write, but to live my life fully as my whole, true self and hold nothing of my dreams, desires, and talents back. Thank you again!
Leigh Taylor Ellis It's our pleasure. Thanks for your note!

I love you, Liz! All the best for the 29th of April! X
Every time I have the opportunity to listen to Elizabeth, I feel so inspired to complete my very first novel! Thank you, WheelerCentre, for having Ms. Gilbert on your on this conversational program. Due to the mean and horrible things that people have said to my comments, I have had to block the notifications I receive. Blessings to all of you!
I think she underestimates how humiliating rejection for men can be, but most men have to get used to that and be strong. They get a lot more often rejected than women will ever be, so they learn to get passed this pain and not be crushed by it.
Otherwise a great interview, thanks.

I just don't think it's that serious. Why should you be emotionally wrecked just because someone isn't interested in screwing you? Are men actually IN LOVE with every woman who declines their offers??? I highly doubt it. It's not humiliating, that's just your ego talking.
It's a bad idea to tie your identity to another sentient human being who has their own free will.
Love you both from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
