many things about the chronicles of Narnia made me irrevocably insane at the small age of six years old but one of the big ones was the bit in prince Caspian where caspian blows susan's horn to try and summon help and it summons the pevensie kids like. that's crazy ok. that's insane. imagine at 12 years old you're given a horn thats purpose is basically summoning divine intervention & then years later someone blows it and summons YOU . I'm crazy !

10 April 1945 Dick wrote to DeEtta:

In his letter to DeEtta on the 16th September 1945 Dick apparently knew plenty about love, especially about being lovesick:

In his letters he wrote between April and Sept, Dick suddenly started talking a lot about Nix. At one point claiming how untrustworthy Nix is off duty. He also kept gently urging DeEtta to go find and marry someone.

One type of American World War II propaganda that delights me is the pro-book material:

{Buy me a coffee} {WHF} {Medium} {Looking Through the Past}

More interesting propaganda in my newsletter:

"For what they are worth, or for what they may recapture, here they are, period pieces, fairy tales, half-meaningless memories of a time and of attitudes which have gone forever from the world, a sad and jocular recording of a little part of a war I saw and do not believe, unreal with trumped-up pageantry, so that it stands in the mind like the battle pictures of Crécy and Bunker Hill and Gettysburg. And, although all war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal, still there was in these memory-wars some gallantry, some bravery, some kindliness."

John Steinbeck, in the 1958 introduction to his collected 1943 World War II reportage Once There Was a War

You want SJM to write another book about training to fight because you can’t comprehend a female character being badass and having agency unless she holds a sword.

I want SJM to write a book about Elain training to be a spy because it plays on themes of everyone underestimating her, her powers as a seer, claiming agency in the NC, becoming a hidden weapon, and still maintaining the roots of her character.

We are not the same.

The Last Transport is a masterpiece of scholarship. This meticulously researched and evocative book presents the full story of the Jews of Rhodes before, during, and after World War II. A vital and ground-breaking contribution to our understanding of the Holocaust and the end of Sephardi life in the Eastern Aegean.

Speight, hoping to understand Skip better for the part he would play, phoned Don to talk about his buddy. He was simply asking questions when he heard the line go dead; Malarkey, it turned out, had hung up on the actor. “I just couldn’t take it,” Malarkey said. Being reminded of Skip so vividly had begun as fun but ended in frustration. Malarkey melted into a pool of sobs. The kicker was not only his sense of survivor’s guilt. It was his guilt for having let down the actor who would play Skip—which, of course, really meant letting down Skip himself. Don was right back in the endless loop of loss and regret and guilt again.

We need to go back to dealing with our trauma like early-mid 20th century male authors that fought in WWI or WWII

(by writing an epic novel hiding the trauma behind metaphors/fantasy/absurdism and characters that are a little insane)
