Better Than Friday - 192 (Patreon)

Good evening everyone, covid appears to be dwindling - nothing nearly as bad this time round. 

Hope this finds you well, thanks very much for your continued support. 

1. Book to read: A Chinese Decadent Novel - 'Drowning' by Yu Dafu

Fascinating recommendation from Seneca - A rarity in Chinese literature.

Reminds me of 'No Longer Human' by Dazai.

2. Nightcreeper by The Blackwater Fever

Eerie expansive dusk driving music.

3. The Dying Swan

Robert Walser discusses this ballerina in his 'Berlin Stories' I'm currently reading. 

4. Sunnylou Publishing - Fantastic looking publisher

Excellent publisher, responsible for item 1, again mentioned by Seneca. 

Planning on purchasing more from them. 

5. DemonLover

A powerful Y2K Noir about power, pornography, and control, set in Paris and Tokyo. Very William Gibson at his best.

Brought to my attention by the instagram of Paris-based filmmaker Michael William West
