#gormenghast — Public Fediverse posts

When I mentioned outlandish metaphor, I mean this kind of thing. Sentences that take you in gloriously unexpected directions even in gratuitous asides

This is no flight of fancy in stone, no Gormenghast or literary folly, this chapel of ease exists because of single minded determination.
A kirk by a loch, but do you know where?

I don’t think I ever finished all of the books; it just ground me down! 😔

This week's #NewBooks at the library: a beautiful birthday gift: #Gormenghast in a lovely rendition from the #FolioSociety with illustrations by @#DaveMcKean! #Books #Bookstodon

Apparently it is #MadHatterDay , so a good excuse to remind folks that Gormenghast creator Mervyn Peake also did some splendid Alice in Wonderland illustrations

Retreated to nearby cafe to escape anti-social swine upstairs, who is alternating between periods of peace then blasting music, then back to quiet. Treating self to very chilled berry drink and read

Today's travelling companions: Mervyn Peake, with the god-like John Coltrane playing Crescent on my headphones.

Finding my revisit to Gormenghast & its stultifying rituals particularly interesting in light of our own recent royal ceremonial nonsense.

Lining up our next weekend rewatch, with an episode a week. Next is the #BBC version of #Gormenghast from 2000. I’ve been keen to rewatch this for a while. And while I know #NeilGaiman is developing a new version I’d like to see this one again now. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0197154/ #MervynPeake #Television #00sTV #Fantasy #Horror #Weird #JonathanRhysMeyers #TVadaptations #books #TV

I am (slowly) reading (savouring) the #Gormenghast trilogy by Mervyn #Peake, whose richness of imagination & language is astonishing. So dear reader, where does one finds such immense creativity in #mathematics ?
