A #Pastiche in Time: Algernon Blackwood Part 1 of 2

#Wss366 Brief / Hemingway's birthday #TimeTravelAuthors Fixing“Doctor Silence, it is the most disconcerting feeling. I can no longer read. If I pick up a book, I soon enter a fugue state and am transported to that time and place.”
I was seated in a room painted a calming green. A servant had provided me with a chair that was inexplicably nailed to the floor. The doctor sat across from me listening intently.
If I had to describe him, I would first say he matched his name. He gave off a quiet air of calm, despite an eerie aura. His whole manner left you convinced he was both incalculably benevolent and knowledgeable. As for his dress, he wore a tasteful plum smoking jacket, for I had arrived at his consult in the early evening, far past normal visiting hours.
“Go on,” he said. “How did it start?”
“The first time it happened, I was reading ‘Time Machine’ by H.G. Wells. I was nearing the end when I had the most realistic dream that I was walking under a dim sun by the sea. On the beach were alien, muddy-brown crabs of enormous size. The experience was quite #brief, and I awoke presently.”
“Only it wasn’t a dream, was it?” the doctor said.
I relaxed; he understood. I knew there was an alternate chamber with padded walls for delusional visitors. That they hadn’t taken me to it should have been reassuring, but it was good to see tangible evidence that Dr. Silence accepted my bizarre story.
“No, but I didn’t know it. It seemed too fantastic to think I was actually traveling to those times and places.”
Forgetting the chair was immobile, I attempted to scoot closer to my audience. After a nervous laugh, I continued. “I had several more experiences of this nature: a visit to the Khyber Pass; Paris during the French Revolution; and a 1920s speakeasy. I rather enjoyed the dreams. They were so vivid and realistic, each longer than the last. I felt quite safe, since if anything bad happens, I’ll wake up, which is something I can generally force myself to do.”
“When did you realize?” Silent asked.
“I was reading #Hemingway’s ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’ and found myself in a crowded Spanish tavern. There was a fellow American there, and I offered to buy him a drink. We fell to talking, him about being a war correspondent. I was excited to actually be talking to a famous author and, well, one thing led to another, and I told him I was from the future and that the Republicans would lose the war. He laughed. I don’t think he believed me.”

"Write the truest sentence that you know."
That simple advice guided Ernest Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) throughout his life. A reporter, soldier, traveler, Nobel Prize winner, and master storyteller, he transformed real-life adventure into timeless literature.

The text of the first few paragraphs of Ernie's first Toronto Star article…
He refers to Americans as: "citizens of the republic to the south of us" and says that the TRUE home of the free and the brave is the barber college. 🤣
That last paragraph is hilarious and in classic Hemingway style. Short, terse, and ironic:
"… a visit to the barber college requires the cold, naked valour of the man who walks clear-eyed to death."
Pretty great.

A bit of a rabbit hole over breakfast– I'm a fan of Hemingway's writing, and was thinking that while I know most of the details of his bio, I hadn't seen a pic of his actual byline in an edition of the Toronto Star where he wrote for a few years early in his career.
Easily remedied - a quick Duck-search gives me this. What I didn't expect was that he was being passed off as a Canadian in that role:

#Hemingway once said #writing was easy: you just sit in front of a #typewriter and bleed.
Apparently, I’m doing something wrong, because I couldn’t even get past the first paragraph, because I’m just sweating like a bloody waterfall! 🥵
At least this time it’s not for a lack of #motivation. Well, that’s a new one. 😅

It's great to see more Ukrainian books translated into #English!
Here is one from Artur Dron', a #Ukrainian writer and a veteran. His #book is called "#Hemingway Knows Nothing". The book is available for pre-order from Jantar's website.

I've finished all of Hemingway's short stories. I wish there were more. And there still might be, somewhere.
Did you know his wife lost a suitcase with the drafts of all his earlier short stories? Somewhere out there might be a suitcase, old, dusty and forgotten, and full of Hemingway's drafts. -

@WH De laatste aflevering van het eerste seizoen eindigde met het citaat:
"Als je ouder wordt, is het moeilijker om te geloven in helden, maar je hebt ze toch wel nodig."

Grammarly's latest gimmick involves asking #AI to channel #Hemingway and Jane #Austen for #writing #advice. 🙄 Because nothing says "expert review" like a #digital #séance with authors who can't sue for defamation. 👻 #NotTheirWords
