  1. Who knows why the book was chosen?
    Not I.

    But #GoodMorningMidnight immediately after #BoySwallowsUniverse is ... a jarring experience.

    Gone is the criminally violent melodrama. And positivity.
    In is something that each member of the venerable club has lived beside. Or lived out. For decades.

  5. CW: BoySwallowsUni Netflix spoilers

    #Dementia
    #ElderlyRelative has July #Bookclub with #BoySwallowsUniverse.

    They've done hrs listening to the #Audiobook and watching/listening to reviews, interviews & discussions.

    And we've made up and sung songs about the plot and relationships between characters.

    But #Recall level is still pretty low.

    So now they're trying watching the Netflix series based on the book.

    Opening scenes were thug-life violence. Neither of us were keen to continue.
    But they did.

  9. CW: Spoilers book "Boy Swallows Universe"

    Reading around #BoySwallowsUniverse.

    Today the story seems to be about an optimist living in a #BlueBeard story variant.

    Forbidden actions, curiosity, punishment, vengance, justice.

    Still puzzled by the (so far) absence of corrupt #QueenslandCops in this story. How could heroin be sold without them?
    EDIT 2 days later: The corrupt cops have emerged.

    Have loaded about 15 hours of interviews, reviews & background video and audio files on and around the novel #BoySwallowsUniverse onto a USB thumbdrive.

    And that is playing on a (older) smart TV as an single-topic, artificial TV channel.

    #BookClub

    And the intersection between #Literature and #ProductPromotion is getting emphasised again.
    (I already knew that #CharlesDickens' works were thoroughly commercialised.)

    Know any great novelists who weren't successful minor celebrities?

    And this month we, (me & #ElderlyRelative, #Blind & with #Dementia) are prepping for a #BookClub meeting on #BoySwallowsUniverse.

    The #Audiobook performer is pretty much perfect. #StigWemyss is not raising even yellow flags based on what I know of teenagers in #Brisbane's junkie-criminal culture. (Not firmly based, past hearing two fellow Brisbane train passengers discussing how best to drink metho, & media coverage of violence.)

  21. "Boy Swallows Universe" is a series adaptation of a book telling a story of growing up in 1980s Australia. There's a fair dose of magical realism, but in the right amounts, so the whole thing doesn't venture into gibberish. It's actually quite brutal as for a story of a child. A solid thing with an unexpected performance from Simon "The Mentalist" Baker, whom I didn't recognise at first. I am also a taste for Australia as a setting place for stories.
