Article by Susanna Clarke (author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Piranesi) on her experience of chronic illness.

I was shook by this essay on illness and anxiety by Susanna Clarke.

"That anguished, pressurised feeling – a sensation somewhere between burning and falling – that extended through my torso, my limbs, my entire body was by now so familiar to me, I was astonished that it didn’t have a name and that I didn’t know it."

(I feel seen... and lucky in that while I absolutely recognise the experience, I do not have it all the time.)

Clarke goes on to describe the effects of narrative in comprehending such diffuse symptoms, and how brains can turn our ideas about the world into reality in our bodies. "A story you have on some level believed – that the world is fraught with danger – can be countered by a different story. Yes, the world is fraught with danger, but not everywhere, and not always, not here in this place and not now in this moment."

Piranesi's "Prisoners on a Projecting Platform" haunts the viewer with its dizzying perspective and intricate details, portraying both the weight of architectural grandeur and emotional despair. How does this piece challenge your perception of space and confinement?

I guess online bookshops have AI writing their author bios now, or maybe Borges is just that fantastical a writer he warped time, but I just read:

“Jorge Luis Borges was born in Buenos Aires in 1989 and was educated in Europe. One of the most widely acclaimed writers of our time, he published many collections of poems, essays, and short stories before his death in Geneva in June 1986”

Anyway I just finished #Piranesi and it was very good and made me realize I don’t think I’ve ever read Borges!

Got on recumbent for an hour of easy pedaling while I read a good chunk of Piranesi. The experience of the narrator reminds me of trying to do projects while unemployed. #books #cycling #piranesi

went to pick up the copy of Piranesi I put a hold on at the library, while grabbing it I saw an Eve Ewing (who I went to school with) book, so I took that as well. #books #piranesi

i SAID i would read Piranesi in the near future but i'm still like 200th in line for it at the library #books #piranesi

intervista: il collezionismo per giuseppe garrera (eleonora sampieri sul blog ‘martebenicult’)

[…] completezza: non solo l’opera, ma la documentazione, gli schizzi, compresa la matita o il pennello con sui è stato fatto quel lavoro: inevitabilmente la collezione ha assunto anche l’aspetto di una storia di reliquie insieme alla possibilità di ripristinare un tempo intero, o meglio ha superato del tutto la sospettabile dimensione della sola quadreria per divenire e testimoniare una creatività disseminata […]

I've just finished reading the novel "Piranesi" by Susanna Clarke and I just couldn't resist drawing the main character :) If you haven't read it yet, I recommend that you stop whatever you're doing and get it. #hair for #pixel_dailies #illustration #piranesi #novel #literature #fanart #conceptArt #character #pixelart #ドット絵 @pixel_dailies

This book! What a ride 🌊. Definitely my book of the year. #Piranesi

I've finished reading #Piranesi by S. Clarke (finally), and although the setup and premise are great, I feel disappointed by the story.

Dicen que "Piranesi" es de esos libros en los que hay que entrar sin saber nada... A mí eso normalmente me da igual, pero puedo decir que he ido a ciegas y ha sido una gran experiencia.

Absolutely thrilled to learn that no less than @LaikaStudios is developing an animated feature based on the great Susanna Clarke's wonderful novel PIRANESI!
