Sweater I knit! It is a Gansey/Guernsey construction and my own pattern. I did a false seam on the sides and garter stitch gusset. Last image is a close up of the pattern, alternating arrows and diamonds (ignore the cat hair)

Jean Baptiste Hugo announced as Guest of Honor at Barricades 2024

Barricades 2024 is pleased to announce Jean Baptiste Hugo as one of our Guests of Honor for this year's convention. Jean Baptiste Hugo is the great-great-grandson of Victor Hugo. He has extensively photographed Hugo's home in exile on Guernsey, a project about which he said this: “In 2014, I was about to start a series of photographs of Hauteville House, where Victor Hugo stayed in exile for 15 years. I had the intention, picturing in my mind the dark gothic rooms, to use the legendary black and white 400 Tri-X Kodak film, known for its grainy quality and its rich black tones. It just happened that around that same period I started looking into the extraordinary colour possibilities offered by digital photography, having considered it for years , I must admit, as very inferior to black and white film. The introduction I was given to digital colour photography inspired me enough to try and capture as faithfully as I could the colourful atmosphere of my ancestor’s folly on Guernsey and, I am glad I did, as it allowed me to engage in an exploration of colour and texture in a very creative way which I am still pursuing today through other photographic subjects.”

Saw Hauteville House from the outside - I expected it to be somehow more romantic, but it's just a gray, plain house like any other on the street. I'm sure, inside it will be quite a different story. Tomorrow I will know. Other sites related to Hugo. Not many of them. It seems that the period of the German occupation and subsequent liberation is the most important part of their historical memory.

Witches Hat House !

A village in Guernsey County in Senecaville, Ohio, sits a creepy abandoned house that looks like a witch's hat.

It's one of the 10 Spookiest Houses in Ohio! ...

The picture on the left was taken in July 2014, the week I finished the first draft of The Butterfly Assassin while on holiday in Guernsey. I was eighteen, it was the fifteenth novel I'd written, and one of the first where I got to the end and thought, "You know what? This might actually go somewhere." I also thought I was doing a much better job of hiding the fact that I was going through a gender crisis than I actually was (looking at any photo from summer 2014, it's... pretty obvious).

The picture on the right was taken yesterday, in June 2024, shortly after the publication of the final book in the trilogy that began with The Butterfly Assassin. I'm 28, I've written 24 books and sold 6 of them to publishers, and this photo was taken on the ten-year anniversary of me choosing the name Finn. I was passing through Guernsey en route from the Celtic Students Conference, and thought it would be nice to take a copy of the French translation to show ol' Vicky.

"Gardens under glass: Greenhouses of Guernsey shelter some 1,100 acres of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ferns, most destined for shipment overseas. The island exports as many indoor tomatoes as Jersey does outdoor potatoes, but the local fruit earns several million dollars more than the rival root. To conserve space and provide maximum exposure to the sun, growers train tomato plants into overhead arbors."
