If trouble comes when you least expect it then maybe the thing to do is to always expect it.

“You have to carry the fire." I don't know how to." Yes, you do." Is the fire real? The fire?" Yes it is." Where is it? I don't know where it is." Yes you do. It's inside you. It always was there. I can see it.”

― Cormac McCarthy, The Road

When we're all gone at last then there'll be nobody here but death and his days will be numbered too. He'll be out in the road there with nothing to do and nobody to do it to. He'll say: where did everybody go? And that's how it will be. What’s wrong with that?

-Cormac McCarthy

The Road by Cormac McCarthy / The Last of Us

"A person who had no one would be well advised to cobble together some passable ghost. Breathe it into being and coax it along with words of love. Offer it each phantom crumb and shield it from harm with your body."

Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Found a 2016 drawing I did of my favourite books, way before I considered doing commissions of these.

I’m happy to see how many books I’ve read since then that have made it into my current faves and how a re-read can make you remember how great something is, a good reminder that your next book could always be the best one you’ve read!

Also, most of those old faves would still be in contention.

Also, how is The Goldfinch still Donna Tartt’s most recent novel?

All of this like some ancient anointing. So be it. Evoke the forms. Where you’ve nothing else construct ceremonies out of the air and breathe upon them.

Yılmaz Güney was a Zazaki Kurdish film director, screenwriter, novelist, and actor. He quickly rose to prominence in the Turkish film industry. Many of his works were devoted to the plight of ordinary working-class people in Turkey. He was at constant odds with the Turkish government over the portrayal of Kurdish culture, people and language in his movies.

He won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1982 for the film Yol (The Road) which made it the first Turkish film that won the Golden Palm.

Its screenplay was written by Yılmaz Güney, and it was directed by his assistant Şerif Gören, as Güney was in prison at the time. Later, after Güney escaped from Imrali prison, he took the negatives of the film to Switzerland and later edited it in Paris.

The film was banned in Turkey until 1999 because of its negative portrayal of Turkey at the time, which was under the control of a military dictatorship. Even more controversial was the limited use of the Kurdish language, music and culture (which were forbidden in Turkey at the time), as well as the portrayal of the hardships Kurds live through in Turkey. One scene in the movie even calls the location of Ömer's village "Kurdistan".

A new version of Yol was released in 2017, called Yol: The Full Version in which many of these controversial parts and scenes have been taken out, to make the film suitable for release in Turkey. In order to be shown at the Turkish stand at Cannes 2017 the Kurdistan insert was removed. In what critics say goes against the director Yılmaz Güney's wishes and call "censorship", the frame showing "Kurdistan" as well as a highly political scene where Ömer speaks about difficulties of being Kurdish were removed.
