In truth, Syrians are remarkably pragmatic and realistic already. They have been extraordinarily resilient and entrepreneurial in every aspect of this tragedy: in challenging the regime; putting down the uprising; adjusting to the economy of want and violence; crafting horrendous improvised weapons; innovating in the field of desperate emigration; and meticulously documenting all the above, arguably more extensively than in any conflict in history. Not to mention formidable communication strategies designed to grab the outside world’s imagination – from the English-language witticisms emanating from the rebellious village of Kafranbel to the regime’s proven magnetism with visiting journalists, officials and experts.

The Syrian Trauma

At a dinner party thrown by the filmmaker Jérôme de Missolz, who made documentaries about both Mège and Witkin in the nineteen-nineties, Witkin turned to her and lowered his voice. “Will you write me a note that promises me your body, after you die, so I can photograph it?” “No,” Mège said. “I intend to outlive you.”

Molly Crabapple's Week in Hell: the book #4yrsago

Artist (and Boing Boing favorite) Molly Crabapple is just as clever with crowdfunding as she is with a Sharpie. For her 28th birthday, she Kickstartered the budget for a week locked in a NYC hotel suite whose every surface was covered with drawing paper. She spent the resulting “week in hell” drawing over every inch of that paper. The art she produced is documented in Week in Hell, a lovely slim volume from IDW, which features spiffy photos of Crabapple’s work, some notes on the production, and a hell of an introduction by Mr Warren Ellis. It’s a great look inside an utterly gonzo project.

Like many thrilling things women do—fucking or hitchhiking, being demoniacally ambitious or telling an asshole to stick a chainsaw in his eye—society tells us that growing up leads to ruin. Yes, you get older, but you can also grow tougher, kinder, braver. You can claw out the life you wanted. But as you age, the world will tell you you’re less worthy, even if you know that’s a lie. If there’s one thing society won’t stand for, it’s for a woman to be content.

Molly Crabapple’s tribute to Katherine Dunn

“Geek Love showed us that perhaps we would never fit into the normal world, but that that world was pallid and lacking.” – Molly Crabapple pays tribute to National Book Award Finalist Katherine Dunn, who passed away last week.

[kadrey-deactivated20181203]

The first duty of the novelist is to entertain. It is a moral duty. People who read your books are sick, sad, traveling, in the hospital waiting room while someone is dying. Books are written by the alone for the alone.
