One Hundred Lavish Months of Bushwhack (2004) by Wangechi Mutu<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

I wouldn’t be so bold as to call Benjamin Noys’ contribution to the recent The Weird<\/em><\/a> conference at the University of London a highlight, but it was a surprise to find Lord Horror in general and the Reverbstorm<\/em><\/a> book in particular being discussed alongside so many noteworthy offerings. Noys’ piece, Full Spectrum Offence: Savoy’s Neo-Weird<\/em><\/a>, is now available to read online, a very perceptive examination of the tensions between the Old Weird and the New.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Le Transperceneige<\/em><\/a> is a multi-volume bande dessin\u00e9e of post-apocalypse science fiction by Jacques Lob & Jean-Marc Rochette. Snowpiercer<\/em> is a film adaptation by Korean director Bong Joon-ho featuring John Hurt, Jamie Bell, Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton. Anne Billson<\/a> calls the director’s cut an “eccentric masterpiece” so it’s dismaying to learn that the film is in danger of being hacked about by the usual rabble of unsympathetic Hollywood distributors.<\/p>\n

\u2022 This month marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of Proust’s \u00c0 la recherche du temps perdu<\/em>. Public Domain Review<\/a> posted some of the paintings mentioned in Swann’s Way<\/em> (or The Way by Swann’s<\/em> as the latest translation so inelegantly has it).<\/p>\n
