  1. Blackhawk

    Vi har en lille læseklub på arbejdspladsen, hvilket fører til interessante læseoplevelser – både nye og gensyn. Her i dag blev det til Grete Roulunds “Blackhawk” (og jeg sværger, at det ikke var mig, der foreslog titlen, selv om efterordet i Gladiators udgave har et meget tydeligt sammenfald med undertegnede).

    Og hvilket forunderligt gensyn det var!

    Roulund er en af de forfattere, som formår at skrive historier, der nødigt hæfter sig i min hukommelse på handlingsplanen, men lander med stor effekt på oplevelsesplanet. Med andre ord: jeg glemmer hurtigt, hvad der egentlig sker i hendes bøger, men jeg husker læsningen af dem med glæde. Det samme er tilfældet med “Blackhawk”, der på overfladen er bedragerisk enkel – to mænd sneet ind i en hytte i Alaska.
    Det starter som Jack London møder Hemingway, og sød musik opstår. To mandemænd, der overlever under hårde forhold og drikker whisky og snakker om livet – gengivet i korte, hårde sætninger og samtaler. Noget, man kunne finde i “bøger for mænd”. Og så drejer det af på den mest uskyldige vis – en hare i sneen. Men den har røde øjne, og den bider Blackhawk, den ene af mændene. Og så begynder situationen at spidse til – måske havde den rabies? Stationen sender modgift, men noget går galt. Ja, alt går galt i en langsom, uafvendelig lavine. Den anden mand, Keagan, forsøger at holde humøret oppe, men ulykkerne ligger som en dyne af sne over dem.

    Genlæsningen bød især på en overraskelse over, hvor meget drive der er i den lille roman – det, der havde fæstnet sig i denne læser, var billederne af de to mænd i hytten, der langsomt synker ned i hundegalskab eller blot galskab, men uden om det er der en voldsom kamp – mod omstændighederne, mod andre mennesker og ikke mindst mod de indre dæmoner, der stikker næserne op efter et stykke tid. Roulund manipulerer på mesterlig vis med læseren og holder én ude af balance hele vejen igennem.

    Stort set hele Roulunds forfatterskab er værd at læse, men jeg har personligt en forkærlighed for de korte, knivskarpe romaner tidligt i karrieren, og “Blackhawk”, hendes anden roman, står dystert barberbladsskarpt imellem dem. Endog stærkere, end jeg huskede. Anbefalet for enhver, der tør.

  10. There's reporting, not necessarily absolutely complete; and there may be judgement on the Individual patient, but in the history of, well, history, two people have survived #Rabies with treatment after symptoms begin.
    AIRI the first was a woman in #Milwaukee with very prolonged ventilation etc,moving rise to the Milwaukee #Protocol .
    I don't know the second, and I believe patients have died despite efforts to apply that protocol.

  15. Quote: " #Opossums are not considered dangerous to humans.[58] Though their open-mouth hiss when frightened is often mistaken as #rabid behavior, opossums are naturally resistant to #rabies due to their low body temperature. However, there are usually still a few cases of rabid opossums every year." source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia

  18. Bird Wings Good; Bat Wings Bad

    Have you ever noticed that good religious creatures, like angels, have what can only be described as bird wings? Meanwhile, evil religious creatures, such as demons, have wings that are blatantly like that of a bat.

    The only bad thing I can think of for a bat is that they can give rabies to humans whereas birds can’t. The reason they are so susceptible to rabies is because they are closer to humans than birds are. They are mammals, just like us. Whereas birds are part of the bird family of vertebrates. Birds are descended from the dinosaurs and have their own diseases to worry about.

    Mammals survived the apocalypse that wiped out the dinosaurs (except birds) and basically took over almost all the niches that dinosaurs were in. Dinosaurs were tall so mammals became giraffes. Dinosaurs were big so mammals became the blue whale, the biggest creature that has ever lived. Dinosaurs could fly so bats took to the sky.

    Bats nurse their young, thus proving they are a caring species of mammal.

    Another thing which seemingly makes them bad is that they come out at night. But this is really more of a testament about how birds are evil in daylight. Bats don’t brave the day because they are likely to be dinner for some bird with 100 million years more of flying experience. And those daytime birds can be big with nasty talons and sharp beaks.

    As a fellow mammal, we should be proud of our bat cousins. They can fly in the dark because they use sonar. They have good vocalizations that their good ears can pick up and that their good brains can use to figure out what the terrain is – even in the dark.

    Still think birds are superior in the good/evil department? Then why is it a murder of crows, a conspiracy of ravens, a plague of grackles and a squabble of seagulls?

    Actually a squabble isn’t that bad. So suddenly I see the truth. Bad is associated with black birds and bats because they are black.

    This dark/ light thing of good and evil has got to go. Termites are white so they must be good. Maggots are white so they must be good. Polar bears are white so they must be good. It’s just not true. Black labs, black horses and even black cats can be very good.

    Maybe I’ll retreat into fantasy which has some stories of good dragons who incidentally have giant black bat wings. It’s more realistic than the angel/ demon characterizations of religion.
