Like No Other Novel

Kate Mosse's cultural fix in The Times:

My favourite author or book
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. I first read it as a teenager; it’s my favourite because I have read it every decade of my life and it has been a different book each time. It’s a novel about landscape, race, the woman’s place in the world and the amorality of nature, but most of all it’s about place; the moors and Wuthering Heights are the lead characters. I realise that I am the novelist I am because I have read Wuthering Heights. It’s like no other novel. It changed what it was possible for women to write; before they could write domestic novels, but this is a visceral, hugely dark novel.

Wuthering Heights (15, 2011)
Channel 4, 1.35am (July 16)
Andrea Arnold’s bold take on Emily Brontë’s classic romance is as spare as it is sensual. She strips away most of the dialogue and much of the story, leaving an impressionistic, earthy, emotional intensity. Arnold (Fish Tank, American Honey) is a risk-taking film-maker; that’s what makes her so exciting. And some, but not quite all, of the gambles she takes with this production pay off. The biggest of these is the casting of inexperienced and non-professional actors in the key roles. The young and the older versions of Cathy (played by Shannon Beer and Kaya Scodelario) are persuasive in their own way. Beer in particular has a grubby sensuality that is refreshing. Robbie Ryan’s cinematography is the film’s most evocative asset. (129min)

James Marriott in The Times also joins the talk about Jane Austen's Sanditon TV adaptation:

Luckily, there are lots of olden-days books to adapt. Trollope, Eliot, Dickens and the Brontës spent the 19th century helpfully churning out material that is perfect for Sunday night TV.

Newsday reviews Give Me Your Hand by Megan Abbott:

The subtlety of "Give Me Your Hand" lies in the nuance of the women’s relationship: how, particularly in our teenage years, those we idolize can be bad for us yet also push us to our greatest heights. Friendship can be both a poison and a tonic. Abbott alludes to other stories that are full of blood, poison and dark secrets: “Wuthering Heights,” “Hamlet," “Macbeth.” (Heather Scott Partington)

The Guardian has a pictorial summary of the Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever in Sydney:

El Cultural (in Spanish) interviews the film director José Luis Garci:

¿Con qué personaje se tomaría un café mañana?
Con las hermanas Brontë. Me gustaría saber si estaban tan locas como dicen. (Translation)

As many adjectives we can imagine to associate to the Brontës....crazy is not one of them.

The writer Violeta Bellocchio recommends Wide Sargasso Sea in Libreriamo (Italy):

I libri da leggere quest’estate sotto l’ombrellone: andiamo su tre classici grandi e piccoli: Jean Rhys, “Il grande mare dei Sargassi” (Adelphi), una riscrittura potentissima di “Jane Eyre” raccontato dalla parte della futura moglie pazza in soffitta – se certi libri resistono al passare del tempo il merito non va certo a una moda passeggera[.] (Translation)
