La Perspective Curieuse (1663) by Jean Fran\u00e7ois Nic\u00e9ron. From Curious Perspectives<\/a> at BibliOdyssey.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 1612 Underture<\/em> is a forthcoming album by The Eccentronic Research Council<\/a> and Maxine Peake which extends the electronics + occult concept to encompass Kraftwerk and the Pendle Witches. The Quietus has a review<\/a> of their album, and an interview and report<\/a> about a recent live performance (I missed the latter, unfortunately), while the Guardian’s interview<\/a> with the splendid Ms Peake reveals that “musically, her tastes range from Japanese black metal, garage rock and folk, to techno and psychobilly.” The famous Lancashire witches also happen to be the subject of Jeanette Winterson’s latest novel, The Daylight Gate<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Yet more Marker: The Owl\u2019s Legacy<\/a>: Chris Marker\u2019s 13-Part Search for Western Culture\u2019s Foundations in Ancient Greece, and J. Hoberman on The Lost Futures of Chris Marker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Dr Oliver Sacks<\/a> talks about how hallucinogenic drugs helped him empathize with his patients.<\/p>\n

Paulo Coelho’s ill-judged Joyce-bashing<\/a> has made him a butt of scorn this week, but he’s a safe target because, with books that multitask a little too openly as self-help manuals, he’s not so clubbable. Unlike, say, Ian McEwan, who not-that-differently declared against “the dead hand of modernism<\/a>“, for all the world as if the dominant literary mode in post-war England was Steinian experimentation<\/a> or some Albion Oulipo<\/a>, against which young Turks hold out with limpidly observed interiority, decodable metaphors, strained middle-class relationships and eternal truths of the human condition(TM).<\/p>\n

China Mi\u00e9ville<\/a> on the always contentious future of the novel.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2022 The Foliate Head<\/a><\/em>: a new book by Marly Youmans with illustrations by Clive Hicks-Jenkins.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hysterical Literature: Session Two<\/a>: Alicia reads from Leaves of Grass<\/em> by Walt Whitman.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Dreaming in Dirigibles<\/a>: The Airship Postcard Albums of Lord Ventry.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Art of the Literary Fake (with Violin)<\/a> by Jeff VanderMeer.<\/p>\n

\u2022 RIP Neil Armstrong<\/a>, first human on the Moon.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Macho Man<\/a>: Morgan Meis on Robert Hughes.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Book covers by Hannes Bok<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 This Is Now!<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 Squid Moth<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 Lunar Rhapsody<\/a><\/em> (1947) by Dr Samuel J. Hoffman | Lunar Musick Suite<\/em><\/a> (1976) by Steve Hillage | Back Side Of The Moon (Steve Hillage’s Under Water Deep Space Remix)<\/a><\/em> (1991) by The Orb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
