Ich glaub, ich bin ein bisschen verknallt in diesen Vorschlag von David Vinchar für den #Genre-Begriff #Necromodernismus für Romane von z.B. #MarkZDanielewski, #AlanMoore und #DavidFosterWallace.

»Literatur als Entropiemaschine, als eine Nekropole der Signifikanten … gebrochen, provisorisch, gespenstisch heimgesucht … Dies ist ein Schreiben, das im Leichnam des Romans west, ihn mit geisterartigen Signalen weiterhin am Leben erhält«, wie der Perlentaucher exzerpziert.

So, what do you think UK politics is really like?

Thank you, Steve. You've been terribly helpful. Oh, and, you remember how I promised not to kill you?

Popped to a nearby town for the first time in years and managed to spend some gift cards we've collected from birthdays as a result of some relatives who insist on giving them. Always nice to come home with new books.

I like Adrian Tchaikovsky so that was an easy purchase. To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars sounded like my sort of book and it was deliciously thick. The Great When sounded fabulous too.

Three paperback novels arranged in a triangle against a white surface. At the top is To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars by Christopher Paolini. The cover art is mostly black with a central image of a dense blue nebula of clouds and stars and the silhouette of a human figure floating or falling. Bottom left is The Great When by Alan Moore. The cover art in a pencil drawing style is from below Tower Bridge in London looking up at it under a heavy storm and with the road leading to it breaking up into blocks. A person walks in the foreground along the banks of the Thames river. The final book is Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky. The cover art is of a dense wall of twisted metal in blue and black splitting apart as a metal sphere tunnels through it casting an orange-white glow.

Hari Kunzru quoting Alan Moore

'It is so important to reenchant these places that we live in, to actually give back the energies that have been bled out of them. An empowered landscape creates empowered people, and the reverse is also true. A disempowered landscape, stripped of its history, stripped of its meaning, will produce people who are stripped of their history, of their meaning'

first(?) page from the revived Marvelman series in Warrior magazine in 1982

(it's an Alan Moore script, of course it starts all pleasant like but then horrible things are happening)

After reading the biographies of Guy Fawkes (whose face inspired the mask) and King James, I don't understand why he was chosen as a symbol of anarchism (he wasn't one).

V for Vendetta finished 🎭

I devoured the book in a week! Despite a few clichés of the genre, I enjoyed it.

It might be a good idea to turn it into a TV series, because I feel like the story was written with that in mind.

I’m finally getting around to reading Alan Moore and Alan Davis’s Crooked World story (and thank goodness for the preservation work that’s out there) and damn Betsy is hitting me hard here.

#comics #CaptainBritain #XMen #Marvel #AlanMoore #AlanDavis

A section of a comic page foregrounding a people-haired woman lamenting that England has gone insane — there are concentration camps and stormtroopers, and she’s lost all sense of time.

Boris Godunow von Mussorgsky nebenbei auf Russisch laufen lassen und dabei ein ›technisch‹ haarsträubendes Kapitel von #MarkZDanielewski|s »Tom’s Crossing« lesen.

⚠️ Struktur-Spoiler⚠️

Zu Beginn des Finales—letzten 312 von 1229 Seiten—gibts schon den Epilog! Dabei wendet Danielewski einen Kniff an, der mich bereits bei #AlanMoore|s »Jerusalem« schwer beeindruckt hat; vorzügliche Anknüpfung an antike Phantastik, wenn Sprache Gemälde einer Ausstellung vor den Augen der Lesys erscheinen lässt.

Adam Walker hat mit einem Seminar zu #WilliamBlake begonnen. Durchaus eine Hilfe um z.B. tiefer in die großen (okkulten, spirituellen, philosophischen) Themen von #AlanMoore|s »Jerusalem« (2016; Deutsch bei #CarcosaVerlag 2024) einzutauchen.
Göttliches (Schöpfer*in) und Menschliches (Geschöpfe) teilen und sind miteinander verbunden durch: Vorstellungskraft (Imagination).

Meine Art von frühromantischen Nonkonformisten-Christentum.

Um, #AlanMoore's #Illuminations (at least the first story) isn't helping to dispel the perception of how many of his female characters are victims of some sort of sexual predation. I'll give it a few more pages, but the first story, "Hypothetical Lizard," might warrant a hard pass. We'll see...
