Recently had a blast in London with some lovely Strikophiles. Took lots of pictures and thought I would share here the ones where I can remember why I took them. 😂 I will add book quotes as time permits. Please correct me if you think I am wrong because it was a full day.
Five at a time, in no particular order, here we go ...
Tianfu, Macclesfield Street
Where Strike's leg gives way and he slides to the floor in TV Career of Evil*.
* Tense re-enactment prevented by piles of boxes. I was completely up for it.
The statue of Eros
Where Matthew Cunliffe proposes to Robin Ellacott.
'Shortly after midnight, her long-term boyfriend, Matthew, had proposed to her under the statue of Eros in the middle of Piccadilly Circus." The Cuckoo's Calling, Chapter 1
(There was no holding back re-enactments here ...)
The Red Lion, Duke of York Street
This is the pub where Strike asks Robin to meet him after he's seen Jasper Chiswell and accepted his case. Robin gets showered in orange juice as Sarah Shadlock looks on.
"If he had stuck out in his suit at the White House in East Ham, be was perfectly dressed for Mayfair, and two minutes later he entered the Red Lion in Duke of of York Street, a snug Victorian pub whose brass fittings and etched glass reminded him of the Tottenham." Lethal White, Chapter 10
Field at Fortnum and Mason, Piccadilly
Strike and Robin interview Oonagh Kennedy here, in Troubled Blood.
"The café was reached by a flight of stairs that placed it on a higher level than the shop floor, which it overlooked. Once he and Robin had sat down at a table for four by the window, Strike sat silently looking down into Jermyn Street ..." Troubled Blood, Chapter 24
Roja Parfums, Burlington Arcade
Where Strike shops for perfume in TV Troubled Blood.

Volg K. Schippers en dan... tasten
bron beeld: trouw.nl
K. Schippers (1936-2021) is een onnavolgbare schrijver. Een PC Hooftprijs-winnaar die vast niet stukgelezen wordt. Daarvoor is zijn oeuvre (romans, gedichten, verhalen en beschouwingen) te omvangrijk en nogal complex. En dat is vreemd want zijn taalgebruik is niet moeilijk, eerder een beetje vreemd. Als lezer moet je openstaan voor zijn schrijven; hem volgen in zijn spel met…

Kaffeereise: London
London: die Queen, James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, der Tower, London Eye, Buckingham Palace, schwarze Taxis, rote Doppeldeckerbusse, schlechtes Essen und gutes Frühstück – zu kaum einer anderen Stadt der Welt fallen uns spontan so viele Begriffe ein. Obwohl das mit dem schlechten Essen eher ein Vorurteil sein dürfte, schließlich gibt es ja genügend Pups mit Fish and Chips und Fingerfood, das mit dem…

Whumpcember, Day 3: Storm
♫ All this screaming isn’t who we are
When we die
If it’s the end
Will we be forceless again? ♫
— “We Who Lament” by Earthside (ft. Keturah)
