Edwin Black Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

@bunny_ballball @TheDaniBethea It had better be like Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero.

Currently reading Plato's Republic. I find it interesting that Socrates stands for the idealised state, and Thrasymachus for the state as it actually is.

Edwin Black

Currently reading Michel Faber's metamodern historical The Crimson Petal and the White. Interesting ideas abound, and I am enjoying the experience of being pulled around by the lapels with an instistant narrator.

Edwin Black

Currently reading Naked Lunch by William Burroughs. I say "reading", the better word is "experiencing". Far more raw than Allen Ginsberg's work, to be sure.

@gemmafiles The Occupant of the Room, Algernon Blackwood The Great God Pan, Arthur Machen

Edwin Black

Read Never the Wind. Generational trauma, magical realism, and a great storyline. Now for The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa.

Edwin Black

@otherhappyplace The Quantity Theory of Insanity by Will Self

Edwin Black

Currently enjoying The Mad Women's Ball by Victoria Mas. Truly, the dark side of le belle epoque, with a definite thing to say about the patriarchy of today. The web forum is the new salon, in many ways.

Has anyone else read Francoise Verges' A Decolonial Feminism? I have to say that I have just started and it appears that she has interesting things to say.
