HHhH

HHhH by Laurent Binet (translated from the French by Sam Taylor)

A work of “historical fiction” that constantly questions, subverts and deconstructs itself, its genre and its author throughout. All I can say at the moment -- and this is an opportune moment for this book, given the resurgence of neo-Nazis and other white supremacists into the light of public attention, and we should all remind ourselves of as many of the details of what it is that the Nazis actually did -- is to read this book for a glimpse into one small portion of the evil of the Nazi regime and the attempt by a handful of more or less ordinarily brave people to strike out at one of the architects of one of that evil. A reminder that the perpetrators may have been monsters, but they were monsters of an all-too-human kind, and those who opposed them were also only human.

I think the interview [with Lou Reed] you mentioned was the same time I had walked him back across campus to his car. He was all leathered out. You know, he had his leather jacket on. We were walking across campus, and we passed a couple of students. I heard one say to the other, “Check this guy out. This guy thinks he’s Lou Reed.” I asked Lou if he heard that, and he said “Yeah.” We just laughed.

This gave me a flashback to riding with my feet strapped onto the pedals.

Yet the author of The Age of Anxiety and the author of The Gutenberg Galaxy turn out to have more in common than their conflict might suggest. Both in their 60s by the time of this discussion (“Thank God I can remember the world before World War I,” says the poet) and both 1930s converts to Catholicism…

David Lynch, Shed Builder

STARLOG: Left to your own devices, what would you do when you’re not making a movie? LYNCH: I’m a shed builder. If I was just left alone, I would build sheds. I would plan them at Bob’s Big Boy Coffee Shop, and I would become very excited with these coffees and a chocolate shake. So, when I left Bob’s, I would be racing home with plans for a certain part of a shed, right? Then, I would find the right kind of wood and I would start cutting them up with my power saw, nailing it, fitting it and working it. And I would be almost in heaven with happiness. That is very nifty to me.

These stunning photographs of Hong Kong in the 1950s are captured beautifully by a teenager. Ho Fan who arrived from Shanghai in 1949. The streets, filled with vendors, coolies and rickshaw drivers, fascinated Ho. Taking pictures in a studio was the norm then, but the Ho was more interested in r
