The Future Vol.2 (2016) by f1x-2<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 One of the notable things about the reaction to the original series of Twin Peaks<\/em> was the way in which Americans were astonished that something so outr\u00e9 could be allowed on television. Here in the UK the response was a little more subdued; we had, after all been spoiled for years by The Prisoner<\/em>, Sapphire and Steel<\/em>, and numerous odd and challenging dramas by Dennis Potter and others. Pre-dating all of these was The Strange World of Gurney Slade<\/em> (1960), a six-part series starring Anthony Newley that was unprecedented in its Surrealism. Andy Murray<\/a> looks back at the series, and at the rest of Newley’s career.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Andrew Dickson<\/a> on Peter Ackroyd whose latest book, Queer City: Gay London from the Romans to the Present Day<\/em><\/a>, is published later this month.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Alyona Sokolnikova<\/a> on a Soviet vision of the future: the legacy and influence of Tekhikia \u2013 Molodezhi<\/em> (Technology for the Youth<\/em>) magazine.<\/p>\n

You know who weren\u2019t cops? All the radicals and queers and artists and dreamers that were there while I grew up, my mom and dad\u2019s old friends from New York and the wider bohemian world, the actors and the drag queens and the dilettantes and the ex junkies and the current junkies, the kind of queer people who wouldn\u2019t get caught dead getting married, the people who actually made the \u201cold New York\u201d of the myth into what it was. They were smart and they were funny and they were tougher than I can imagine and they were possessed of an existential commitment to the idea that life is complicated and so we shouldn\u2019t be quick to judge. They were tolerant<\/em>, in the true sense, even while they were tireless advocates for actual justice. […] Now we\u2019re Rudy Giuliani, trying to get offensive art pulled off the walls. Now we\u2019re the book burners. Now we\u2019re the censors. Now we attack the ACLU for defending free speech. Now we screech about community morals. Now we\u2019re the prison camp screws. That\u2019s us. Me, I could never be one of the good ones. Never. I can never live up to that ideal. I know I\u2019m not good enough. I know when the judgment day comes, I go down. And so I decline. You can decline, too.<\/p>\n
