Every raven after his kind. June 11, 2015 in Uncategorized. Been weary and afflicted by mishap of late, in no mood to do other than drink and smoke and fume. The following things have stuck in my mind:. 1 Sending a letter to the New World, i found myself cackling “Amerika! But i find it far more probable that someone just made it up. Certainly, a lot of time and money has been expended on this stupendous fiction, but that merely proves the extent of the deception. Someone has something to hide. It is fit...

Every raven after his kind. You are currently browsing the monthly archive for June 2015. June 29, 2015 in Uncategorized. 1 Back in 1995-6, the Journalist. Demanded to know if i’d read Geoff Dyer. Dyer, born in 1958, has written about jazz and photography, and so seemed to fit right into the Journalist’s expected repertoire of avant-garde bollocks. A collected Gore Vidal 15 years ago, and Theodore Dalrymple’s online essays in 2007-9, though Simon Leys is now also on my List. Dyer:. Out of Sheer Rage.

Monday, October 11, 2010. Dulce et Decorum Est. I have recently been taken in by this poem "Dulce et Decorum Est" by the WWI English poet Wilfred Owen:. Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,. Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,. Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs. And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots. But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;. Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots. It is appare...

Abe's Book Blog: War Loses Its Romance
http://abesbb.blogspot.com/2010/12/war-loses-its-romance.html
Friday, December 10, 2010. War Loses Its Romance. I'm sure it was worth it to carve every last letter into that block of stone, sitting in the Veterans Memorial outside the Lackawanna County Courthouse in Scranton, Pennsylvania. It is a quotation from Colonel John S. Mosby, famed Confederate cavalry commander, and it tells, in some way, the same sad story I've already been over in this blog when I took a look at "Dulce et Decorum Est".

Sunday, August 22, 2010. Gimpel the Fool Animation. Note: Don't be concerned that the first words you hear are Yiddish: the English dialogue starts at around two minutes and 23 seconds in.

Tuesday, December 14, 2010. Review: Fun Home, by Alison Bechdel. Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic. My rating: 1 of 5 stars. This is a memoir, a story of the author's life focusing on her childhood in a quiet Midwest town, living in a large, ornately-decorated Gothic revival house with her high school teacher parents and a pair (? Of brothers. Just add Bechdel to the long list of modern authors whose last names I can't pronounce. I guess I can just call her Alison, or "Al," or "Butch". At some point, Alison ...

Abe's Book Blog: Being There
http://abesbb.blogspot.com/2010/11/being-there.html
Saturday, November 20, 2010. Everything has a deep significance to me now - allegorical insight. Probably because I've been reading Being There. A short little novel by, uh, Jerzy Kosinski on which the film. Was based (pretty closely). I always liked the movie, at least as long as I've seen it. And the book makes me write in short, expressive sentences. And, before you ask, no! Chauncey Gardiner" is not. The book is very similar to the movie, at least in content, but where I was inclined to laugh at the ...

http://abesbb.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 16, 2010. Much pleasure can be derived merely from speculation on what this story could have been like. Chekhov was a true master who was capable of writing just about anything, from the aptly-named "Misery", to numerous humorous short stories, to love stories like "The Lady and the Little Dog". In what direction would he have taken this tale of such humble beginnings? What part would that ashtray play? Would never needlessly obscure such an object.). Foundling Father" - Another cute-ish ...
