Better Than Friday - 241 (Patreon)

Good evening everyone, how’ve you been?

Finishing up Henry Miller’s “Tropic of Cancer” (Paid Link) and others.

Much to look forward to.

Have a great weekend and thanks so much for your continued support.

1. Irish Epic Literature to read: The Taín (Paid Link)

Táin Bó Cúailnge - An 8th-century Irish myth about a cattle raid and the warrior Cu Chulainn.

According to Wikipedia it's written in Prosimetrum, a style combining prose and verse I've not heard of, but apparently the same style employed by Petronius in the Satyricon.

So many old Epics I need to read and review...

2. Mishima photos during the coup

Not certain if top one is real but wild nonetheless.

Mishima came up in conversation with friends twice today. Reminded me of what I came across recently below.

*Graphic* Photos of the aftermath as well

3. Roberto Bolaño's Author List

An excellent reading list from an excellent author.

4. Louise Ferdinand-Céline Interview

Following the item above -

“Louis-Ferdinand Céline, a great writer and son of a bitch. Just an abject human being. It’s incredible that the coldest moments of his abjection are covered under an aura of nobility, which is only attributable to the power of words.”

-Roberto Bolaño from 'The Last Interview and Other Conversations'

Céline's 'Journey to the End of the Night' was a huge inspiration to Henry Miller.

5. Yusef Lateef - Don't Blame Me

Gorgeous track.
