L'Or du temps - Karine Benvenuti - Valérie Hermans:  Saint Quentin la Poterie bis 10.11.2024
Es gibt KĂŒnstler, die ihren eigenen Weg gehen, weit entfernt von den Moden und Erwartungen der Zeit, konzentriert auf eine persönliche Suche, die sowohl aus Traditionen schöpft, die sie neu interpretieren, als auch aus dem Leben um sie herum, aus ihrer inneren Welt und ihren Emotionen. Unsere beiden Keramikerinnen in der Ausstellung LâOr du temps gehören zu diesen Menschen. KarineâŠ

Ladies, gentlemen, and interesting people, welcome to...
The Mackolades are my personal annual film awards, awarded to my favorite (for the most part) movies, performances, and people from all the movies I watched for the first time in 2022, regardless of release year. This is more or less a companion series to Brendanâs Pink Bettes, as most of our movie watching is together. You can see the first and second Mackolades here on my tumblr, now letâs get started on the third!
FAVORITE DRAMA
WINNER: tick, tick...BOOM! (2021) dir. Lin-Manuel Miranda
FINALISTS:
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) dir. James Cameron
Dramarama (2020) dir. Jonathan Wysocki
Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) dir. Daniel Scheinert & Daniel Kwan
TĂR (2022) dir. Todd Field
NOMINEES:
The Batman (2022) dir. Matt Reeves
The Godfather (1972) dir. Francis Ford Coppola
Klaus (2019) dir. Sergio Pablos
Pride & Prejudice (2005) dir. Joe Wright
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) dir. Anthony Minghella
Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022) dir. George Miller
GREAT year for the Favorite Drama category! I knew from the first few minutes of tick, tick...BOOM! that it was winning, but two of the finalists (Dramarama and Everything Everywhere All At Once) gave it a real run for its money. And then TĂR was just impeccable in every way (CATE!!!!!!). Special shoutout to The Godfather for actually living up to the hype and The Batman for being a genuinely good superhero movie. Highly recommend Dramarama in particular to any of my theatre friends that see this.
FAVORITE HORROR
WINNER: The Menu (2022) dir. Mark Mylod
FINALISTS:
All About Evil (2010) dir. Joshua Grannell (aka Peaches Christ)
Nope (2022) dir. Jordan Peele
Pearl (2022) dir. Ti West
Scream (2022) dir. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett
NOMINEES:
Arachnophobia (1990) dir. Frank Marshall
Barbarian (2022) dir. Zach Cregger
Fresh (2022) dir. Mimi Cave
Hellraiser (2022) dir. David Bruckner
What Keeps You Alive (2018) dir. Colin Minihan
X (2022) dir. Ti West
GREAT year for horror, too! The Menu is such a fun ride, almost more of a dark comedy than horror. I had a lot more actual scares this year than in 2021, particularly in Nope, Scream, Arachnophobia, and Barbarian.
FAVORITE COMEDY
WINNER: Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar (2021) dir. Josh Greenbaum
FINALISTS:
Do Revenge (2022) dir. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson
Glass Onion (2022) dir. Rian Johnson
Hello, My Name Is Doris (2015) dir. Michael Showalter
Kissing Jessica Stein (2001) dir. Charles Herman-Wurmfeld
NOMINEES:
Burn After Reading (2008) dir. Ethan Coen & Joel Coen
Fire Island (2022) dir. Andrew Ahn
Little Miss Sunshine (2006) dir. Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris
Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris (2022) dir. Anthony Fabian
My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) dir. Joel Zwick
See How They Run (2022) dir. Tom George
Hey guess what. It was a great year for comedy, too. Barb & Star is destined to join Romy & Michele and the Tragedy Girls as a pair of gal pals that live in my head for the rest of my life. Theyâve had this win sewn up since I first saw the movie in August, but there was still plenty of competition. Do Revenge is probably my unofficial runner up - those twists and turn and goops and gags and outfits!
FAVORITE SERIES
WINNER: Before Trilogy (3/3)
FINALISTS:
The Godfather (3/3)
Hell House, LLC (2/3)
Wong Kar-waiâs Love Trilogy (3/3)
X/Pearl/Maxxxine (2/3)
God, what can I say that hasnât already been said about Richard Linklaterâs Before trilogy? Itâs just two people talking, but itâs perfect!
THE THANKS! I HATE IT! AWARD
WINNER: Whiplash (2014) dir. Damien Chazelle
FINALIST: Fall (2022) dir. Scott Mann
This new category is for movies that are good, but I hate them anyway! And thereâs no movie that quite fits that bill like Whiplash. What an incredible work that I never wanna see again. Or dwell on for long here.
BIGGEST SURPRISE
WINNER: Halloween Ends (2022) dir. David Gordon Green
FINALISTS:
Brothers (2009) dir. Jim Sheridan
The Invitation (2022) dir. Jessica M. Thompson
Nerve (2016) dir. Henry Joost & Ariel Schulman
Uncle Peckerhead (2020) dir. Matthew John Lawrence
NOMINEES:
Fall (2022) dir. Scott Mann
Hatching (2022) dir. Hanna Bergholm
Hello, My Name Is Doris (2015) dir. Michael Showalter
Kissing Jessica Stein (2001) dir. Charles Herman-Wurmfeld
The Lost City (2022) dir. Adam Nee & Aaron Nee
Valentine (2001) dir. Jamie Blanks
After Halloween Kills won Biggest Letdown at last yearâs Mackolades, I went into Halloween Ends with rock bottom expectations, but was pleasantly surprised! From the opening scene it showed it was completely different from any Halloween movie that came before it, and I was mostly delighted by what followed. Itâs far from the best Halloween, and has some major problems, but itâs leagues ahead of Kills, and that alone win it Biggest Surprise for me.
BIGGEST LETDOWN
WINNER: Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness (2022) dir. Sam Raimi
Iâve engaged in a fair bit of MCU hate over the last few years, but Iâve held onto the belief that Iâd probably enjoy them if I gave them a chance and just didnât think too hard about it. Well... I guess I was wrong. I really thought Iâd like this, the trailers looked interesting and Sam Raimi has a pretty good track record with me. But yeah... Martin Scorsese was right, these are just flashy theme park rides. Absolutely zero substance worth engaging with. What a disappointment, for me and for general culture. Anyway, somehow this was the only movie I watched in 2022 that I went into with expectations that were significantly let down, and I figured Iâd give it its own multiverse of mediocrity with the myriad of posters available.
FAVORITE LEAD ACTRESS PERFORMANCE
WINNER: Cate Blanchett, TĂR (2022)
FINALISTS:
Mia Goth, Pearl (2022)
Janelle Monae, Glass Onion (2022)
Keke Palmer, Nope (2022)
Michelle Yeoh, Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)
NOMINEES:
Jessica Chastain, The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)
Sally Field, Hello, My Name Is Doris (2015)
Natasha Lyonne, All About Evil (2010)
Lesley Manville, Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris (2022)
Thandiwe Newton, Godâs Country (2022)
Anya Taylor-Joy, The Menu (2022)
Okay I have to bullet point this one so I can talk about all the finalists.
Cate is THE performance of the year for me. Her take on Lydia TĂĄr is nothing short of amazing - even from the opening scene, with that TED Talk-like scene where she just talks about music for a few minutes, had Brendan and me grabbing each other and whispering in the (otherwise empty) theater about how breathtaking her performance was. I canât believe Iâm giving her lead actress two years in a row (out of three total!) but she really does deserve it.
Brendan and I loved Mia Goth in 2020âČs Emma, but she reached new heights in X and, in particular, Pearl. The monologue! The face journey! The everything else! Sheâs now on the Weâll See Anything Sheâs In list, and I canât wait for MaXXXine.
Janelle! I donât have as much to say for her, but damn she picks projects well! Incredible lady and fantastic performance(s) in Glass Onion.
Keke - #ReleaseTheSpinCut! What a joy.
Okay I adore Michelle Yeoh and if Cate doesnât win the Oscar I hope itâs hers. Truly wonderful and deserves everything good thatâs coming her way right now.
FAVORITE SUPPORTING ACTRESS PERFORMANCE
WINNER: Hong Chau, The Menu (2022)
FINALISTS:
Jamie Clayton, Hellraiser (2022)
Courtney Cox, Scream (2022)
Stephanie Hsu, Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)
Brittany Snow, X (2022)
NOMINEES:
Margaret Cho, Fire Island (2022)
Tovah Feldshuh, Kissing Jessica Stein (2001)
Vanessa Hudgens, tick, tick...BOOM! (2021)
Andrea Martin, My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)
Alia Shawkat, Being The Ricardos (2021)
Tandi Wright, Pearl (2022)
Hong Chau is another 2022 addition to the Weâll See Anything Sheâs In list, and she got an Oscar nom for the other one! Yay! But this is about my favorites, not objectivity, and I prefer her in The Menu. What a treat! I donât have much to say about the finalists and nominees that wouldnât require this becoming far too long, so Iâm just gonna move on.
FAVORITE ACTOR PERFORMANCE
WINNER: Paul Dano, Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
FINALISTS:
Marlon Brando, The Godfather (1972)
Austin Butler, Elvis (2022)
Alton Brown, Elvis (2022)
Ke Huy Quan, Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)
NOMINEES:
Rohan Campbell, Halloween Ends (2022)
Ralph Fiennes, The Menu (2022)
Andrew Garfield, tick, tick...BOOM! (2021)
Robin de JesĂșs, tick, tick...BOOM! (2021)
Haley Joel Osment, Sassy Pants (2012)
Conrad Ricamora, Fire Island (2022)
I started watching Little Miss Sunshine for Toni, but I remember it for Paul, particularly the sequence pictured above. Special shoutout to Alton Brown for stealing the show for a scene or two of Elvis (a difficult task when Austin Butlerâs Elvis is present!)
THE TONI âSHE HAS THE RANGEâ COLLETTE AWARD FOR MULTI-GENRE EXCELLENCE
WINNER: Jim Carrey, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)/Sonic The Hedgehog (2020)
FINALISTS:
Jamie Dornan, Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar (2021)/Belfast (2021)
Idris Elba, The Dark Tower (2017)/Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (2022)/Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022)
Jenna Ortega, The Fallout (2021)/Scream (2022)
Tilda Swinton, Burn After Reading (2008)/Constantine (2005)/Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022)
I mean, Jim Carrey was basically born to play Dr. Robotnik, and when you contrast that with Eternal Sunshine, well, thatâs basically what this category is for!
THE CARLY RAE JEPSEN âSHE MAKES MY BLOOD FEEL CARBONATEDâ AWARD
WINNER: Elaine Stritch, Original Cast Album: Company (1970)
During the Ladies Who Lunch sequence of the Company documentary, I mustâve turned to Brendan at least three times to say âI love being gayâ - Elaineâs an icon and a queen and I hate I didnât get into theatre soon enough to appreciate her while she was alive. (NOTE: If Iâd started this category a year earlier, Carol Channing certainly wouldâve gotten it for the documentary Larger Than Life, and it felt wrong to not mention that here)
HOTTEST DADDY
WINNER: Russell Crowe, The Nice Guys (2016)
FINALISTS:
George Clooney, Solaris (2002)
Guillermo Diaz, Bros (2022)
Thomas Forbes-Madison, The Lost City (2022)
David Harbour, Violent Night (2022)
NOMINEES:
Daniel Craig, Glass Onion (2022)
Idris Elba, Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022)
Ethan Hawke, The Black Phone (2022)
Martin Henderson, X (2022)
Peter Sarsgaard, The Batman (2022)
Bradley Whitford, tick, tick...BOOM! (2021)
Someone ask me what kind of guys I like. I dare you. I downloaded six entire movies to get enough usable shots of these men - definitely the most work I did for any single category.
Anyway, thatâs the 2022 Mackolades! 65 movies honored (or dishonored) from an eligibility pool of 205. Now you know what I love - any recommendations of what to watch in 2023?

âKinderscĂšnesâ van Valery Larbaud: de duistere zijdes van de kindertijd
Voor het eerst zijn de Enfantines (1918)van Valery Larbaud (1881-1957) integraal naar het Nederlands vertaald. AndrĂ© Gide roemde de âpure toverâ van deze nostalgische jeugdherinneringen uit de belle Ă©poque, en ook Marcel Proust was een hevig bewonderaar. KinderscĂšnes bundelt negenmesscherpe vertellingen, die de lezer meevoert naar gene zijde van een ogenschijnlijk onschuldige kindertijd.
Sleutelfiguur en geheim agent
Bij de verschijning van Enfantines in 1918 was Larbaud al een sleutelfiguur in de vooroorlogse letterkunde. Cocteau noemde Larbaud in een hommage-editie van de Nouvelle Revue Française (1957) âun agent secret des lettresâ. Naast de auteur van romans, novelles en verhalen was hij een begenadigd essayist, een onvermoeibaar vertaler (hij sprak 6 talen vloeiend) en de bevlogen pleitbezorger van ânieuweâ schrijvers zoals Jorge Luis Borges, Comte de LautrĂ©amont, William Faulkner, Italo Svevo en James Joyce. Zo introduceerde hij in Frankrijk middels zijn vertalingen bijvoorbeeld het werk van Samuel Butler en Walt Whitman, en begeleidde de Franse vertaling van Ulysses, in samenspraak met vriend Joyce en vertaler Auguste Morel, een vertaling die bovendien vrij lang als standaard heeft stand gehouden.
In 1908 debuteerde hij met PoĂšmes dâun riche amateur ou oeuvres françaises de M. Barnabooth, onder het pseudoniem Archibald Olson Barnabooth. Deze bundel in een oplage van amper 200 exemplaren bevatte een vijftigtal gedichten, een fictieve biografie van de mondaine, puissant rijke Zuid-Amerikaan Barnabooth en de novelle Le pauvre chemisier (vertaald door E. du Perron als âDe arme hemdenmakerâ). In 1913, bij het verschijnen van A.O. Barnabooth, Ses Oeuvres ComplĂštes, een soort vervolg op de eerste publicatie, werd duidelijk dat Larbaud achter de nom de plume Barnabooth zat. Het verhaal over Barnabooth die naar de hand dingt van de dochter van de onfortuinlijke chemisier bleef bewaard, net als een ruime selectie van de gedichten. De verzonnen biografie werd vervangen door een âDagboek van een miljardairâ (vertaald in 1994 door Paul de Bruin).
Perecianen zullen overigens in de ârijke amateurâ Bartlebooth â een centraal personage in Het leven een gebruiksaanwijzing â een mengeling  herkennen van Herman Melvilleâs Bartleby en Larbauds Barnabooth. De persona Barnabooth stond voor de steenrijke maar gevoelige en dichtende kosmopoliet en was gestoeld op Larbaud zelf. Op zijn achtste verloor Larbaud zijn vader en werd hij opgevoed door zijn moeder en tante. Zijn leven lang had hij een broze gezondheid, een gebrek dat deels gecompenseerd werd door het fortuin dat zijn vader had nagelaten (een apotheker die rechten op het Vichy-bronwater had weten te claimen). Larbaud heeft nooit moeten werken om in zijn onderhoud te voorzien, bezat diverse woningen en had naar verluidt een bibliotheek van vijftigduizend boeken. Als een volleerd dandy reisde Larbaud de wereld rond, van kuuroord naar mondaine badplaats tot bruisende metropolen; een uitzonderlijke mobiliteit die ook blijkt uit Enfantines, waaraan hij werkte in onder andere Montpellier, Warwick, Leamington, Londen, Valbois, Perth, Dublin, BĂŽne en Monaco. Â
KinderscĂšnes
In haar uitgebreid en informatief nawoord verheldert vertaalster Katrien Vandenberghe de vrij complexe publicatiegeschiedenis van de Enfantines en verantwoordt de selectie voor de vertaling. KinderscĂšnes bevat de acht âreguliereâ enfantines zoals die verschenen in 1918, aangevuld met âGwenny-all-aloneâ, een later gepubliceerd verhaal dat in de PlĂ©iade-editie van Larbauds verzameld werk, samen met een niet opgenomen epiloog uit 1914, onder de kop âDeux enfantines retrouvĂ©esâ staat. Dat âLa paix et le salutâ, de epiloog uit 1914, geschreven in Sandgate, hier niet is opgenomen, is verantwoordbaar omdat Larbaud er op meerdere momenten van zijn schrijversloopbaan afstand van heeft genomen. Desalniettemin verrasten enkele vrienden Larbaud voor zijn zestigste verjaardag met een inmiddels zeer gegeerde bibliofiele uitgave van dat specifieke, anglofiele verhaal.
De titel âenfantinesâ (als bijvoeglijk naamwoord betekent dit âkinderlijkâ) haalde Larbaud van de Franse editie van Modest Moessorgskiâs liederencyclus De kinderkamer. Een mooie toevoeging aan de nagelnieuwe Nederlandse vertaling is dat er enkele gravures zijn opgenomen uit de prachtige vierdelige editie van Enfantines uit 1926. Ook het voor- en achterplat en de typografie van de titels zijn geĂŻnspireerd op enkele van deze deeltjes. Bijzonder is ook dat elke enfantine is opgedragen aan een bepaalde persoon, vrienden van Larbaud. Onder anderen AndrĂ© Gide, Gaston Gallimard, LĂ©on-Paul Fargue en Marcel Ray kregen een enfantine toebedeeld.
Het is tijdens een wandeling in het park met diezelfde Marcel Ray dat Larbaud op het idee komt van âPortrait dâĂliane Ă quatorze ansâ. Vandenberghe noemt de oudste van de Enfantines â gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift La Phalange in 1908 â terecht de kiem van de hele verhalencyclus: het verhaal dat de originele uitgave zou gaan afsluiten, inspireerde Larbaud immers om nog meer vignettes te schrijven over de complexe gevoelswereld van meisjes, jongens en adolescenten. In 1911 had hij trouwens al naam gemaakt met een roman die gelijkaardige themaâs aansneed, Fermina Marquez (eveneens vertaald door Du Perron), waarin hij de eerste ongelukkige kalverliefde van een gevoelige scholier op prangende wijze had weten te verbeelden, zich baserend op zijn eigen ervaringen in een kostschool. Â
Jeugdherinneringen en de wereld van kinderen vormen uiteraard wel vaker het centrale thema van romans of verhalen, ook en in het bijzonder in de negentiende-eeuwse literatuur. Denk maar aan het werk van gangmakers als Charles Dickens, of dat van twee Franse grootmeesters binnen het genre, Jules VallĂšs en Jules Renard. Met Enfantines treedt Larbaud deze traditie zeker bij, maar tegelijk zijn deze sfeervolle, doorwrochte en weinig alledaagse âkinderscĂšnesâ een poging om dat genre nieuw leven in te blazen. De op het eerste gezicht eenvoudige verhalen â in een bij momenten naĂŻeve, bijna sprookjesachtige, impressionistische stijl â onthullen aspecten van de kindertijd die voorheen genegeerd werden door een literatuur die resoluut te preuts en moralistisch was. Zo snijdt Larbaud toentertijd heikele themaâs aan, zoals seksuele ontwaking (âPortret van Ăliane op haar veertiendeâ), lesbische liefde (âRose Lourdinâ), klassennijd (âHet hakmesâ) en zelfs pedofilie (âGwenny-all-aloneâ).
Innerlijke wereld
Maar wat deze KinderscĂšnes absoluut naar een hoger niveau tilt is de modernistische insteek. Larbaud peilt diep naar de innerlijke wereld van zijn hoofdpersonages, aan de hand van onder andere een meesterlijk gebruik van de monologue intĂ©rieur-techniek. Hij lijkt de sleutel te hebben die toegang verleent tot alle mysteriĂ«n van de kinderlijke verbeelding, zienswijzen en sentimenten. Hoe lieflijk de titel âenfantinesâ ook klinkt, de auteur ervan benadert de kindertijd echter op een verre van conventionele manier. Larbaud focust niet zozeer op de onschuld, de goedheid of de charmes van kinderen, maar eerder op de duistere zijdes, afgronden en valkuilen van hun gevoelsuniversum, hun keerzijde, zeg maar. Hij toont onverbloemd de pijn van hoe het is een kind te zijn.
Bijna alle helden in KinderscĂšnes zitten dan ook in een soort existentiĂ«le malaise. Ze zijn nagenoeg allemaal letterlijk lijdende voorwerpen. Omdat Larbaud ze zo dicht op de huid zit, hun wereld zo secuur verwoordt, is hun pijn vaak meer dan invoelbaar. Sommigen groeien op in de kille omgeving van een pensionaat (âRose Lourdinâ) anderen zitten gevangen in de gouden kooi van een luxueus hotel (het ijzingwekkende âDollyâ). De kinderhelden van Larbaud lijken te leven in een wereld waar volwassenen nooit toegang toe kunnen krijgen. De ouders zijn in deze verhalen de grote afwezigen of blijven steeds op de achtergrond: âWie schrijft nu eens dat urgente boek over âSlecht opgevoede oudersâ?â
Larbaud â een fanatiek aanhanger van de exuberante avonturenromans van Jules Verne en Pierre Loti â laat zijn geĂŻsoleerde, onbegrepen of eenzame personages vluchten in de zelfgecreĂ«erde werelden van hun verbeelding. Milou in âHet hakmesâ, bijvoorbeeld, schrijft een fabel en trekt zich geregeld terug in een âonzichtbare wereldâ; de jongen in âVakantietakenâ waagt zich aan poĂ«zie; tijdens de spelletjes in âHet Grote Tijdperkâ vloeien realiteit en verbeelding voortdurend in elkaar over; in âVakantietakenâ en âHet uur met het Gelaatâ leeft een âfiguurâ in de marmeraders van een schouw. In âVakantietakenâ krijgt die fantasiewereld zelfs een mystiek kantje: de verteller denkt terug aan een vriend, die een bijna magische aantrekkingskracht op hem uitoefende. De stemmingswisselingen en de wispelturigheid van de vriend knagen aan zijn gemoed, terwijl de idyllische omgeving waarin hij zich bevindt zijn verheven gevoelens alleen maar versterkt (terzijde: Larbaud had zich in 1910 bekeerd tot het katholicisme, een resolutie die ook nog opduikt in âGwenny-all-aloneâ).
Gewrongen machtsverhouding
Gezien Larbauds maatschappelijke achtergrond is het bovendien weinig verwonderlijk dat alle kinderen behoren tot de hogere klassen, gedijen binnen de beschermde bourgeoisie-cocon. Ze bevinden zich allen in een geprivilegieerde positie, die hen moeiteloos de middelen om hun verbeelding de vrije loop te laten ter beschikking stellen. Maar terzelfdertijd heerst er een gewrongen machtsverhouding tussen de rijkeluiskinderen en de kinderen van de lagere klassen. De bourgeoiskinderen kijken vaak op naar die van de lagere klassen, alsof enkel zij bepaalde waarheden in pacht hebben. In âHet Grote Tijdperkâ zijn de kinderen van de fabrieksbazen bijvoorbeeld danig onder de indruk van de dochters van een arbeider en in âRachel Frutigerâ kunnen de ouders van twee door de verteller bewonderde meisjes het schoolgeld niet betalen. In âHet grote hakmesâ verminkt de rijke erfgenaam Milou zich om in de gunst te komen bij een herderinnetje dat zich aan het snijtuig uit de titel heeft verwond. En in âPortret van Ăliane op haar veertiendeâ voelt de hoofdpersoon zich in eerste instantie aangetrokken door mannen uit de lagere klassen, omdat hun lichamen atletischer zijn door hun fysieke arbeid.
Annie Ernaux â nog zoân herinneringsspecialiste â schreef, zoals Vandenberghe aangeeft in haar nawoord, over de klassenstrijd in Enfantines een snijdend stuk.  Hierin benadrukt zijdat het van belang is de maatschappelijke positie van de auteur mee te nemen in de interpretatie van zijn werk ( Lâenfance et la dĂ©chirure, Europe, n° 798, 1995). Ernauxâ lezing kan niet anders dan een politieke zijn, schrijft ze, omdat Larbaud wel degelijk keuzes heeft gemaakt in de beschrijving van zijn personages, en omdat, ja, die niet zo onschuldig zijn als we op het eerste gezicht zouden durven denken.
Erotines
Tot slot nog enkele woorden over het erotisme in KinderscĂšnes. Wie schrijft over de gevoelens van kinderen en adolescenten, kan niet omheen themaâs zoals seksueel ontwaken of nieuwsgierigheid naar het andere en zelfde geslacht. In âRose Lourdinâ, het openingsverhaal, wordt de vertelster verliefd op een medeleerlinge van haar kostschool. Haar gevoelens worden steeds intenser, maar in plaats van Rosa haar liefde te bekennen, koestert ze âhet verdrietâ en zoekt het gezelschap van een andere leerlinge die haar pest. Er is een voortdurend spanningsveld tussen masochisme, lichamelijke lust en verboden liefde (er is de suggestie van een hechte band tussen Rosa en een leerkracht). Larbaud weet de gevoelens van de getormenteerde Rose perfect te verwoorden: een hoogtepunt is de buñueliaanse fetisj-scĂšne met het schortje. âRose Lourdinâ zindert van een bevreemdende, nagenoeg bedwelmende zinlijkheid.
Een gelijkaardige nadruk op wellust komt voor in de achtste enfantine âPortret van Ăliane op haar veertiendeâ. Het hoofdpersonage bevindt zich op het kantelpunt tussen een meisje en een jonge vrouw. Ze fantaseert over onkuise liefde en vindt troost bij de afbeelding van een naakte man in de geĂŻllustreerde encyclopedie van haar vader. Vervolgens probeert ze de aandacht te trekken van enkele jonge mannen in het park, om daar meteen ook allerlei romantische liefdesverwikkelingen bij te verzinnen. De broeierigheid van de parkscĂšne doet denken aan het prikkelende liefdesspel tussen Leopold Bloom en Gerty MacDowell in âNausicaaâ, het vijfde hoofdstuk van Ulysses. Hoe het zij, in deze âkinderscĂšneâ toont Larbaud hoezeer hij de techniek van de monologue intĂ©rieur meester was. Â
Ook in het laatste verhaal âGwenny-all-aloneâ is de aantrekkingspool een twaalfjarig meisje dat op de rand van de jongvolwassenheid staat. Haar âkinderlijke trekkenâ zijn bijna allemaal verdwenen laat de verteller weten, een oudere jongeman die zich verschuilt in een Welsh vakantieoord. Het buurmeisje Gwenny, dat geregeld en al dan niet met opzet haar bal over de tuinmuur gooit, Â roept bij hem vooral een verlangen op haar te âbeschermenâ. Hij heeft in het verleden nog andere âvriendschappenâ en âgrote liefdesâ gehad met jonge meisjes. De volwassen wereld begrijpt hij niet, stoot hem zelfs af. Hij wil enkel de zachte aanwezigheid van meisjes ervaren. Voor veel hedendaagse lezers is de pedofilieradar al stevig in het rood gegaan, maar Larbaud geeft er een magnifieke (en beruchte) draai aan: de verteller zoekt in de meisjes niemand minder dan God, zijn âgrote onzichtbare vriendâ. Alles wat geen onschuld belichaamt, lijkt hem âdwaasâ en âzinloosâ. Hij wil niet langer de volwassene âspelenâ, maar enkel de draad van zijn kindertijd oppikken, zonder ook maar Ă©Ă©n âboze gedachteâ of een âonzuiver woordâ. Â
Zo idealiseert Larbaud uiteindelijk dan toch de kindertijd en bombardeert hem tot een transcendente toestand van âvoor de originele zondeâ. De verteller in âGwenny-all-aloneâ ontdekt de kern van zijn kindertijd door erover te schrijven, net als Larbaud. KinderscĂšnes biedt troost door ons in de waan te laten dat we onze kindertijd pas echt kunnen beleven eenmaal we volwassen zijn. Tegelijk confronteren deze enfantines ons met de onmetelijke tristesse dat onze kindertijd eindig is en â helaas â onomkeerbaar verloren, eenmaal de volwassenheid zijn bruuske intrede doet.

On this date in musicâŠ.yes there is a big time Country artist at the end of this report, but waitâŠâŠ
April 11th
2017 - J Geils
J Geils, American guitarist, with The J. Geils Band died aged 71. With the J. Geils Band he had the 1982 US No.1 & UK No.3 single 'Centerfold', which was taken from their US No.1 1981 album Freeze Frame.
1981 - Eddie Van Halen
Eddie Van Halen married actress Valerie Bertinelli, co-star of the 1980s television hit, One Day at a Time. The two had met eight months earlier when Bertinelli's brother took her to a Van Halen concert in Shreveport, Louisiana.
1977 - Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper played to an audience of 40,000 in Sydney, Australia, the largest crowd to attend a rock concert in the country's history. After the show Cooper was placed under house arrest at his hotel until he posted a bond for $59,632. That amount was the sum that a promoter claimed to have paid Cooper for a 1975 Australia tour he never made. The two settled when it was found that the promoter did not fulfill his part of the agreement either.
1973 - Beach Boys
The Beach Boys appeared at the Omni Coliseum in Atlanta, Georgia. The Beach Boys were at a very low ebb in popularity in America and this show proved a financial disaster for the promoter, with less than 3,000 tickets sold for the 16,000 capacity venue. Opening act was Mothers Finest and middle of the bill was Bruce Springsteen who played a 60-minute set. Elvis Presley performed twice in the Omni and a plaque was placed on an interior wall to that effect after his death.
1970 - The Beatles
The Beatles started a two week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Let It Be'. It became the group's 19th US No.1 in 6 years. The track was a No.2 hit in the UK.
1965 - Tom Jones
Performing at the New Musical Express poll winners concert, at London's Wembley Empire Pool, England, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Tom Jones, Freddie and the Dreamers, The Animals, The Kinks, Herman's Hermits, Moody Blues, Them, Cilla Black, The Seekers and Donovan.
1964 - The Beatles
The Beatles set a new chart record when they had 14 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. The songs ranged from 'Can't Buy Me Love' at No.1 to 'Love Me Do' at No. 81.
1963 - Gerry and the Pacemakers
Gerry and the Pacemakers were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'How Do You Do It'' The group's first of three UK No.1's.
1961 - Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan played his first live gig in New York City at Gerde's Folk City, opening for John Lee Hooker.
1956 - Elvis Presley
Travelling from Amarillo to Nashville, the plane that Elvis Presley was flying on developed engine trouble and was forced to make an emergency landing. The incident created a fear of flying for Presley.
1953 - Hank Williams
Hank Williams' 'Your Cheatin' Heart was at No.1 on the Billboard country chart. The story goes that Williams was prompted to write the song when thinking about his first wife, Audrey Williams, while driving around with his second, Billie Jean Jones who she is supposed to have written down the lyrics for him whilst sat in the passenger seat. The song was record during his last ever recording sessions, on September 23, 1952 and had been released the following year, shortly after he died.

i just spent an hour going through the ace attorney wiki and compiling a doc of every character in the main 6 games and their heights (because hyperfixation). so if youâve ever wondered which characters youâre the same height as, now you can find out. if a character appears in any of those 6 games and does not appear here, they either donât have a cannon height or they werenât on the wiki for that game and i havenât played it so i didnât know they existed. if a character is listed as having multiple heights, this is not a mistake on my part this is either a mistake of the guide books or theyâve gotten taller throughout the series.

Please please please give me more Richey book recs! Especially with suicide as a theme, but if you know of any others, I would love to hear about them too! Thank you for being a fountain of a Manic knowledge and sharing it with us <3
Here's two lists! List one is stuff Richey definitely read, as in it's something he mentioned or referenced in lyrics/interviews/album booklet or setlist quotes/etc. List two is stuff that I can extrapolate he likely read, due to the things I know he did read. Note that a fair amount of these come with various trigger warnings. Again, I've read most but not all of these, so I can answer questions about a good number of them.
Oh, also, this totally slipped my mind from the last list somehow. The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides was definitely a book Richey read; the Manics use a quote from the film version (which came out after Richey's death but they said in an interview they thought he'd have liked it) at the end of Doors Closing Slowly.
Definitely read: -Catcher In The Rye by JD Salinger -American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis -The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides -The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart -1984 by George Orwell -Confessions Of A Mask by Yukio Mishima -The Plague, The Stranger, and The Fall, all by Albert Camus -A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams -Lipstick Traces by Greil Marcus -The Birth of Tragedy by Friedrich Nietzsche -The Torture Garden by Octave Mirbeau -Borstal Boy by Brendan Behan -The Divided Self by RD Laing -Notes From Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky -Novel With Cocaine by M Ageyev -Bernice Bobs Her Hair by F. Scott Fitzgerald -Black Rain by Masuji Ibuse -Under The Volcano by Malcolm Lowry -Frisk by Dennis Cooper -Bartleby The Scrivener by Herman Melville -Homage To Catalonia by George Orwell -Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad (which is what Apocalypse Now was based on, and the film was one of Richeyâs major obsessions at the end of his life) -Brave New World by Aldous Huxley -Rumblefish by SE Hinton -Being And Nothingness by Jean Paul Sartre -Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z Brite -The Atrocity Exhibition by JG Ballard -High Rise by JG Ballard -Birdy by William Wharton -The Trial by Franz Kafka -Suddenly Last Summer by Tennessee Williams -Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov -The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin -The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon -Lord of the Flies by William Golding -Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis -One Flew Over The Cuckooâs Nest by Ken Kesey -Birdy by William Wharton -Thirst For Love by Yukio Mishima -Miracle Of The Rose by Jean Genet -The Drowned And The Saved/So This Is A Man/Escape From Auschwitz, all by Primo Levi -The Diary Of A Young Girl by Anne Frank -Last Exit To Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr -The Loneliness of a Long-Distance Runner by Alan Sillitoe -Four Quartets by Hart Crane -The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri -The Pursuit Of Loneliness by Philip Slater -Society Of The Spectacle by Guy Debord -The Naked And The Dead by Norman Mailer -Manâs Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl -Illuminations by Arthur Rimbaud -Dialectic Of Enlightenment and Minima Moralia by Theodore Adorno -The Pilgrimâs Progress by John Bunyan -One Day In The Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn -The Hero With A Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell -Naomi by Junchiro Tanizaki -SCUM Manifesto by Valerie Solanas -The Lives Of Michel Foucault by David Macey -Rethinking Camelot by Noam Chomsky -The Anxiety Of Influence by Harold Bloom -The Unrest Cure And Other Stories by Saki (HH Munro) -King Lear by William Shakespeare -Confessions by Saint Augustine -The Day Of The Locust by Nathaniel West -Tom Jones by Henry Fielding -Bird Man: The Many Faces Of Robert Stroud by Jolene Babyak -The Demon by Hubert Selby Jr -The Waste Land by TS Eliot -Songs Of Innocence And Experience by William Blake
Likely read: -The Outsiders by SE Hinton -Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury -Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf (features a suicidal main-ish character) -Post Office by Charles Bukowski -The Prophet by Khalil Gibran -Knots by RD Laing -On The Road by Jack Keroauc -No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre -The Sickness Unto Death by Soren Kierkegaard -Junky & Naked Lunch, both by William S Burroughs -Valley Of The Dolls by Jacqueline Susanne -The Runaway Soul by Harold Brodkey -Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller -The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass -Austerlitz by WG Sebald -Betrayal by Harold Pinter -Invitation To A Beheading by Vladimir Nabokov -The Story Of O by Anne Desclos -Lucieâs Long Voyage by Alina Reyes -120 Days of Sodom by Marquis de Sade -The Traitor by Andre Gorz -The Man Of Feeling by Henry Mackenzie -This Way To The Gas, Ladies And Gentlemen by Tadeusz Borowski -The White Rose by Inge Scholl -It Canât Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis -On Revolution by Hannah Arendt -Being There by Jerzy Kozinski -Heliogabalus: or, the Crowned Anarchist by Antonin Artaud -Resuscitation of a Hanged Man by Denis Johnson -Mysteries by Knut Hamsun -We by Yevgeny Zamyatin -Almost Transparent Blue by Ryu Murakami -Venus In Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch -How I Became One Of The Invisible by David Rattray -The Story Of The Eye by Georges Bataille -The Blue Of Noon by Georges Bataille
Also, there's a lot more of my ramblings and writings about the Manics on my other blog @meta-squash under the "manic street preachers" tag, if you're interested. (And I do love talking about them, and Richey especially.)
ETA: I went through all the (text) interviews of the Manics and wrote down every book they mentioned in interviews or lyrics and posted it up here.
