In 1988, eight men in Kingston, Jamaica, begin rehearsals for a play, a modern masterpiece titled Fortune and Men's Eyes by Canadian playwright John Herbert. The men are strangers to one another and each has a different reason for being involved. But they all share one inescapable truth: All o...

I'm #listening to #redrising and no shade to the #literary craft of the series but I really #dislike the #roman #trope. It shows a lack of imagination in my #opinion. And I feel the same way about #suneater.

when late winter returns
home your inmate
in your nightgown
with your candle kneel
beside your bed and shiver
after you go to bed
after you go to sleep
when the horizon's become a purse
that today's early summer's
returned her sun to
when the warm breath
of today's spring's been
expelled from your chamber into the
late winter's dawn at dusk
the cold air seeps into your cell through
gaps between the casing and the shutter
between the door frame and the door
through cracks
in mortar and masonry he oozes
in inhaled
the late winter returns
home not to warm you out of your bed
but to freeze you in -

Aton Petrov: Time Travel May Be Possible Without Major #Paradoxes
Short 12-min #video on the #cultural & #literary #history and #theoretical #physics of Time Travel. Thinking on the subject rapidly generates paradoxes of #mathematical #logic, which #Petrov says cannot exist.

📢 New Book Alert!
📜 'Synopses and Lists: Textual Practices in the Pre-Modern World' is out now!
Textual practices in #premodern societies cover many representations, from the #literary to the #pictorial. Among the most intriguing are #synopses and lists. While lists provide a complete enumeration of ideas, people, events, or terms, synopses juxtapose one against the other.
To understand how they were planned, produced, and consumed, is to gain insight into the practices of what one can call the management of #knowledge in a time before our own.
This volume offers a #historical and transcultural perspective on synopses and lists, highlighting the centrality of these textual practices to allow storing, retrieving, selecting, and organising this knowledge. Both make deliberate – yet not always explicit – choices as to what is included and excluded, thereby creating lasting hierarchies and canons.
