Better Than Friday - 86 (Patreon)

Good afternoon everyone, just shot a review of Dante's 'Inferno', incredibly just before Easter weekend, which is significant in the narrative. A little uncanny...

Hope you have a great weekend, thanks for your support and hope you enjoy. 

1. Book I'd Like to Read -  Dissipatio H. G. The Vanishing 

I've never read this author, looks like a great dystopian read. 

A fantastic and philosophical vision of the apocalypse by one of the most striking Italian novelists of the twentieth century.From his solitary buen retiro in the mountains, the last man on earth drives to the capital Chrysopolis to see if anyone else has survived the Vanishing. But there’s no one else, living or dead, in that city of “holy plutocracy,” with its fifty-six banks and as many churches. He’d left the metropolis to escape his fellow humans and their struggles and ambitions, but to find that the entire human race has evaporated in an instant is more than he had bargained for. Meanwhile, life itself—the rest of nature—is just beginning to flourish now that human beings are gone.Guido Morselli’s arresting postapocalyptic novel, written just before he died by suicide in 1973, depicts a man much like the author himself—lonely, brilliant, difficult—and a world much like our own, mesmerized by money, speed, and machines. Dissipatio H.G. is a precocious portrait of our Anthropocene world, and a philosophical last will and testament from a great Italian outsider.

2. Hilliard Ensemble - Perotin 

This is one of my favorite albums of all time, a gorgeous collection of the works of the medieval composer Perotin. 

3. The Voice of Juan Rulfo 

Juan Rulfo was the author of the brilliant Pedro Paramo. Just cool to hear his voice...

Shared with me by a patron - Thank you

4. The Greatest Epic Poems of All Time 

Inspired to work my way through this list after reading Dante...

5. The last film I was actually able to stand was Warlock with Julian Sands

I don't know how, but it was good. 

Here's a map of Hell from Dante's Inferno
