Caleb Garth to Fred Vincy:

[quietflorilegium]

“But suppose the whole scheme should turn out to be a castle in the air?” said Mrs. Garth. “Well, well,” replied Caleb; “the castle will tumble about nobody’s head.”

Middlemarch book club week 4!

Chapter 3 // Chapter 4 on wikisource

(missed last week due to stomach flu reasons 🫠)

Reading Middlemarch is like watching a horror movie. You spend the first half going "no, don't go down in the basement, you idiot!!" and the second half watching the carnage unfold. George Elliot does such a good job setting the scene and stoking the anxiety. We can see extremely plainly why Dorothea should NOT marry Mr. Casaubon, but also totally understanding the reasons why she's going to. (And fearing that we would have done the same thing, in her shoes.)

In these two chapters, Dorothea is courted with deep incompetence by two men: Sir James and Mr. Casaubon. And decides she wants to marry Casaubon.

One of my favorite things that George Elliot does so beautifully is describing a young person setting out in a new phase of life, or feeling a calling to something. (The passage in a later chapter about how Lydgate decides he wants to become a doctor is one of my favorites in the whole book.)

Dorothea heard and retained what he said with the eager interest of a fresh young nature to which every variety in experience is an epoch.

Every variety of experience is an epoch!!

But her life was just now full of hope and action: she was not only thinking of her plans, but getting down learned books from the library and reading many things hastily (that she might be a little less ignorant in talking to Mr Casaubon)

Girl, we've all been there.

A spoilery thought under the cut

There are not very many good men in this novel, and it's frustrating and infuriating to watch them abuse their power, neglect people in need, fail at compassion or self-knowledge, fall short of their responsibilities, etc

But the kindness and honor that Caleb Garth and Camden Farebrother get to display would not be nearly so powerful without the contrast.

DC Legends: Aqualad (Jackson Hyde)

Jackson Hyde debuted in the pilot episode of Young Justice in 2010 as a founding member of the team, using the name Aqualad previously held by Garth of Shayeris, who would also later appear in the series. Jackson was later revealed to be the son of Black Manta through a Xebellian woman, and also used the name Kaldur'ahm, after his godfather Cal Durham.

As a half-human, half-Atlantean, he has much the same powers as Aquaman, including strength, durability, and the ability to breathe underwater. He has acted as a core member of the Teen Titans and Young Justice team, and works well as a supporting cast member of the Aquaman series.

As far as adaptation goes, he works well to flesh out Black Manta as a character and give him an added layer, giving him someone close enough to see his reasons for why he's so obsessed with Atlantis and Aquaman. He could also easily be a supporting character in a Teen Titan or Young Justice based movie.

In terms of casting, any young and up-and-coming African American actor will do, especially one with a more athletic build to him. Maybe someone like Caleb McLaughlin or Chosen Jacobs.

Best Reads of 2024

So. For me 2024 started off with a very sad event (loss of a pet) that dramatically impacted how much I was able to read (basically not at all).

However, after the grief cleaning and frenzied landscaping projects were through, the solace of reading was blessedly restored to me, and it ended up being a year of pretty excellent books. Perhaps it comes with age, but I'm finding that I'm better at picking books that I will enjoy, and stopping books that I don't enjoy. So this is a very narrow selection of about eleven months of good and great yarns.

Best Literary Page Turner: 'The Axeman's Carnival' by Catherine Chidgey. This was a book club pick and I think between the eight of us the longest time it took to get through was 48 hours? Pacy, tense. I was also deeply moved at the moment when Tama remembers his Dreaming.

Best nonfiction: 'Bad Cop: Peter Dutton's Strongman Politics' by Lech Blaine for the Quarterly Essay. Essential reading for any Australian - given that a federal election is extremely imminent, it's worth knowing more about the bloke in charge of the Opposition. (Hint: he's actually worse than previously thought).

Best classic: 'Middlemarch' by George Elliott. An absolute tome of a book. The central tension is about the ultimate state of the heart, mind and soul of the main character Dorothea Brooke. I would die for her. She is better than every man in this book, with the possible exception of Caleb Garth.

Best retelling: 'Silence of the Girls' by Pat Barker. Here is where I confess I actually know very little about the Greek classics, so when I finished I read through about a dozen Wikipedia pages to catch up. A brutal read.

Best Australian novel: Edenglassie by Melissa Lukashenko. I love Lucashenko and this is her first proper historic novel, set about a generation after the colonisation of Brisbane. Shows how things could have been different, and how positive change might be possible today.

Best Series: the Temeraire novels by Naomi Novak. An utter delight and succour. Come for the navel battles, stay for the friendship between the beautiful and honourable Laurance and his abolitionist dragon. Chock full of new blorbos. The book set in Australia also moved me to tears - things could have been different! We could have done better! If only, if only, if only...

Best 'In a surprise to no one this book is amazing category' book: 'The Remains of the Day' by Kazuo Ishiguro. Like I said, this won the Booker in 1989, its not news that this is a brilliant work. Quiet and gentle, but I was a quivering mess by the end.

Best of 2024 - Films

Strange year behind us, I watched move TV than ever, but visited the cinema at least once a month too (3x in January). The only thing I regret, that I haven't cried more and louder when All of us Strangers ended. Still couldn't re-watch it and since then I just can't listen Frankie's The Power of Love. I just can't.

01. All of Us Strangers - 2024 - Dir. Andrew Haigh

02. Foe - 2023 - Dir. Garth Davis - "Junior has been selected as a candidate for off-world colonization. Nothing will happen just yet, the couple are promised, but of course — to skip ahead to Terrance’s second visit, a year later — something does. Junior’s advancement to the next round means that Terrance will need to move in with them, to probe Junior like a lab rat. Also, don’t worry! While Junior is away, Hen will live with a biological replacement — a replica that has living tissue and Junior’s memories. It’s the high-tech equivalent of leaving a war wife with a photograph, Terrance explains, except that this photograph can live and breathe. All to help their marriage survive, naturally." - NY Times

03. French Exit - 2020 - Dir. Azazel Jacobs

04. The Promised Land - 2024 - Dir. Nikolaj Arcel

05. The Substance - 2024 - Dir. Coralie Fargeat

06. Strange Darling - 2024 - Dir. JT Mollner

07. Uncle Frank - 2020 - Dir. Alan Ball

08. The French Dispatch - 2021 - Dir. Wes Anderson

09. Poor Things - 2024 - Dir. Yorgos Lanthimos

10. DogMan - 2023 - Dir. Luc Besson - "It’s a lot to handle and also a bit silly, but Besson often pulls it off — thanks in no small part to a commanding performance by the chameleon-like Caleb Landry Jones (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), who manages to be touching and slightly terrifying at the same time. He carries a film that’s too offbeat to achieve the mainstream success of the Taken and Transporter franchises, which helped turn Besson’s EuropaCorp into a major international studio a few decades ago. And yet, as a sort of personal artistic statement — and one where Shakespeare crosses paths with Marlene Dietrich, and deadly hounds with drag queens — Dogman is worth a look. - The Hollywood Reporter

11. Unicorns - 2024 - Dir. Sally El Hosaini & James Krishna Floyd

12. Snack Shack - 2024 - Dir. Adam Rehmeier

13. Femme - 2024 -Dir. Sam H. Freeman& Ng Choon Ping

14. Passages - 2023 - Dir. Ira Sachs

15. My Old Ass - 2024 - Dir. Megan Park

16. Wicked Little Letters - 2024 - Dir. Thea Sharrock

17. Furiosa: A Mad max Saga - 2024 Dir. George Miller

18. Hit Man - 2023 - Dir. Richard Linklater

19. Marcel the Shell with Shoes On - 2021 - Dir. Dean Fleischer Camp

20. Beautiful Thing - 1996 - Dir. Hettie Macdonald - "At the centre of the story are shy, introverted Jamie and Ste, his neighbour on a tough London council estate. Jamie is picked on by his classmates; they seem to sense there’s something about him that means he will never quite fit in with their crowd. Ste, meanwhile, is more popular thanks to his love of sport; he is nevertheless miserable living with his brutish father and older brother, and seeks solace with Jamie and his no-nonsense but kind-hearted mother Sandra." - On: Yorkshire Magazine

21. The Holdovers - 2024 - Dir. Alexander Payne

22. The Zone of Interest - 2024 - Dir. Jonathan Glazer

23. Bonus Track - 2023 - Dir. Julia Jackman

24. Sick of Myself - 2022 - Dir. Kristoffer Borgli

25. Arthur The King - 2024 - Dir. Simon Cellan Jones

26. Suite Francaise - 2014 - Dir. Saul Dibb - "Irène Némirovsky's unfinished novel Suite Française, written shortly before her death in Auschwitz in 1942 but not published until 2004, was described by the French newspaper Le Monde as "a masterpiece… ripped from oblivion". It was as if, from beyond the grave, Némirovsky was giving a modern-day readership an intimate eyewitness account, harrowing and ironic, of the experience of the Nazi occupation for the French. She wrote about both good and bad behaviour, heroism and cowardice, in every stratum of French society." - The Independent

27. Good Grief - 2024 - Dir. Dan Levy

28. The Blue Caftan - 2022 - Dir. Maryam Touzani

29. American Fiction - 2023 - Dir. Cord Jefferson

30. Road House - 2024 - Dir. Doug Liman

“You must be sure of two things: you must love your work, and not be always looking over the edge of it, wanting your play to begin. And the other is, you must not be ashamed of your work, and think it would be more honorable to you to be doing something else. You must have a pride in your own work and in learning to do it well, and not be always saying, There’s this and there’s that—if I had this or that to do, I might make something of it. No matter what a man is—I wouldn’t give twopence for him”—here Caleb’s mouth looked bitter, and he snapped his fingers—“whether he was the prime minister or the rick-thatcher, if he didn’t do well what he undertook to do.”

George Eliot, "Middlemarch"

HUFFLEPUFF: “You must be sure of two things: you must love your work, and not be always looking over the edge of it, wanting your play to begin. And the other is, you must not be ashamed of your work, and think it would be more honourable to you to be doing something else.” –George Eliot (Caleb Garth: Middlemarch)
