Summary: <p>Could Europe do with a 19th-century reboot? This week we're talking to Simon Strauss, millennial star of the German literary world, about why he thinks Romanticism is the future. We also hear about a lovely project he's launched to collect the stories of ageing Europeans. Plus: Ursula's big day, eco-burials, and what Tchaikovsky got in the post.</p> <p>Simon's smash-hit novel, Seven Nights, is now available in English: <a href="https://rare-bird-books.myshopify.com/products/seven-nights">https://rare-bird-books.myshopify.com/products/seven-nights</a></p> <p>Read his 2018 keynote from the Forum on European Culture: <a href="https://cultureforum.eu/report2018/wp-content/uploads/Day-3_keynote-simon-strauss.pdf">https://cultureforum.eu/report2018/wp-content/uploads/Day-3_keynote-simon-strauss.pdf</a></p> <p>And check out the European Archive of Voices: <a href="https://usefenut.myhostpoint.ch/european-archive-of-voices/">https://usefenut.myhostpoint.ch/european-archive-of-voices/</a><br> <br> This week's Isolation Inspiration: <br> Why Did You Betray Me? <a href="https://www.decomposedshow.org/episode/2019/04/30/why-did-you-betray-me-tchaikovsky">https://www.decomposedshow.org/episode/2019/04/30/why-did-you-betray-me-tchaikovsky</a> <br> La Haine <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/la_haine">https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/la_haine</a> </p> <p>Thanks for listening.
