Pericles, the Prince of Tyre

Pericles, the Prince of Tyre Of interest, the first instance of me quoting that play in my horoscopes seems to be around 1997. goes to 11 from Shakespeare’s Pericles revisiting Pericles Pericles at Winedale I can’t seem to find it, and I was sure there was another Winedale-Pericles, but it must be hidden under some other entry or a fragment of faulty memory. Presented by the Cold Frame…

Automatic Noodles

Automatic Noodles Got to wonder, thinking on paper, out loud, got to wonder if AI and sentient machinery is nothing more than sprites and fairies from previous millennias’ literature. What was ghosts and goblins, is now smart machines. Deus Ex Machina? New definition. Automatic Noodles The story unfolds with sentient machines, but at play, there’s a sense of absurd mixed with humor. “Playful?”…

Vera, or Faith

Vera, or Faith Recently, I’ve read another book by this author, but I can’t find the link in my own stack. Mordant humor, in a way. Don’t recall. (Digging around, rummaging noises) Lake Success. Vera, or Faith? Billed as off-beat, end-of-the-world comedy? But the second book in recent memory with an antagonistic protagonist named Vera. “Verily, I say.” (From Old French, verraiment.) Truly. Or…

Lucky Day

Lucky Day The book opens with a particularly heart-rendering scene where a daughter is trying to explain her choice in mates, a woman, to her mom. The gay, coming-out scene, and it doesn’t go well. Then ends in trauma, but on a larger scale. From there, the tales spins along after the world has been fried by an improbable, statistically unlikely, series of traumatic events. Bad luck. Raucous,…

It’s the ubiquitous “bad hair day.” As a true lover of all things Virgo? This means I’m stuck with the bad news and on a birthday, too. But it’s not bad news. What’s a bad Virgo hair day for some?…

Old Texts

Old Texts Help, Thanks, Wow Read it as an afterthought, really liked the way it encapsulated faith, prayer, the meaning of life, and everything. Rather succinct package, too. Help, Thanks, Wow An old fishing buddies recommended some of the Annie Lamott stuff, and diving in, my first exposure didn’t really align much. However, this one worked well for me. Just a short read, maybe a hundred pages,…

Ask the Astrologer Twelve: Evergreen Eclipse

Ask the Astrologer Twelve: Evergreen Eclipse Evergreen eclipse quote? “These late eclipses in the sun and moon portend no good to us. Though the wisdom of nature can reason it thus and thus, yet nature finds itself scourg’d by the sequent effects. Love cools, friendship falls off, brothers divide: in cities, mutinies; in countries, discord; in palaces, treason; and the bond crack’d ’twixt son and…

via Book 8

via Book 8 The search term was the Modern Greek version of “gods,” θεοί. “Every thing, be it a horse, be it a vine, has come into being for some end. Why wonder? Helios himself will say: I exist to do some work; and so of all the other Gods. For what then dost thou exist? For pleasure? Surely it is unthinkable.” Ἕκαστον πρός τι γέγονεν, ἵππος, ἄμπελος. τί θαυμάζεις; καὶ ὁ Ἥλιος ἐρεῖ: πρός τι…

Girl, 1983

Girl, 1983 Haunting and atmospheric. Confessional? Hypnotic and poetic? Dream-like? An echo of older feminist poetry? How much is biographical and how much is literary. Girl, 1983 The end is near. “Much worse than anything I’ve known, being a forgetter and a writer. I can resort to imagination and desire.” Page 88. Nearer than anticipated.

On Writing and Failure

On Writing and Failure Got this in a bookstore in Bastrop (TX). “The writing of our time is in constant, unrelenting transition.” Page 12. But then, the writing, and in a larger context, art in general, is in constant, unrelenting transition. Grow, adapt, or die an inglorious death. “The nation of writers is a nation of three-legged dogs.” Page 17. True, both in essence and in context. “It is…
