- April at last! How many times have you tried today?
- I didn’t get the chance. Someone got me first!!
- Girls,girls,you are not going to believe what I learned today about
Julian Barnes!
- What? Did he make reality
“the hot bath,the glass of wine next to the taps and the exceptionally sharp Japanese carving knife?”
- Of course NOT. He had the bath, drank the wine and used the knife to slice salmon…Are you serious?
- She is right silly woman,that was all part of promoting his new book
‘Levels of Life’. Go on tell us. What did you find out?
- Well,Natalia told me that when she dropped by unexpectedly last week ,found Julian Barnes standing in front of a
mirror,holding a bottle of wine and rehearsing this
www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_426RiwST8- NO WAY! Julian Barnes is a truly
CLASS Act. Only a narcissist like
Martin Amis could do this.
- But Martin is NOT a lonely boy?! He has a wife,3 daughters and a dozen ex-lovers. That’s enough, don’t you think?
- You are right ,but there is no way Julian Barnes would listen this kind of music. Was it back in the mid 90s that he chose
music in the
Desert Island Discs and guess his
favourite track?
- Something FRENCH?
-
Mozart’s ‘Requiem Dies Irae’!!www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0093nwl- Seriously? Did you listen the programme?
- My granny did. She was a great fan!!
- But then why Natalia would lie to me? Anyway,who else do you think could shake it like this ?
- Definitely
CRAIG RAINE. He is a special case. We spend a whole semester trying to establish an explanation for his
presenting problem?!
- What was the problem?
- He wasn’t sure whether he was
Doctor Zhivago or TS.Eliot.
- And?
- And we kept changing treatments until he remained stable and finally accepted that ..
- ….he was Craig Raine?
- That he was the most
Famous Martian Arsehole!!! We agreed and send Him HOME…
- I know, I know. I just remembered another lonely boy:
MICHEL FABER.
- Who is Michel Faber?
- He is a 60 year old who dresses like a 25 year old!!
- He is
rock.
-
More like a sandy beach seems to me, than a rock!! If you are looking for rock writers,why don’t you try
T.C. Boyle?
- Have you read his book
“Under the Skin”?And why don’t you have a look at this?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UWAEIgit14- Nice choices! So I'll start with “Under the skin”.
- Don't you ever consider bringing this book in here. His
‘Book of Strange New Things’ is more suitable!!
- Well, he does look a bit strange Himself,
Avant-garde maybe? But he is not 60 yet!
- Yes, but he is neither 25. I wonder why he didn’t choose a track that would suit both his ‘Book of Strange New Things’
and his personal life? Something like
www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_8QI6-KKhM- He might do so if they invite him in the ‘
Desert Island Discs’?
- In the
Desert Island Discs Programme, they invite people like
Julian Barnes who make sure to
keep the Island
DESERTED.
However, I have to admit that
I would not waste 7,99$ for the Belgian folk band singing about “SATANIC PEACE”?! I would go for my Anonymous Sexy French boys FAUVE
www.youtube.com/watch?v=519_pOvP9xs- Speaking about Sexy, look who is here!
- And
ROCK?! Dr. PINKER??Wait for me. We have an urgent issue to
discuss.
www.facebook.com/Stevenpinkerpage- What is so urgent?
- The
Cognitive orgasm Dr. Pinker.The COGNITIVE ORGASM...
