travel notes

Athens: Athens was not incredibly memorable. I thought of it as a city to live in. 

Naxos: in naxos my hair was curly again, i wore a 2 piece los angeles apparel set and walked around an infuencer's backdrop for 5-10 minutes at a time. i met mormon and canadian assorted girls on the beach, i followed one of them to the top of the hill at the windiest sunset since Albany Bulb winters. in another part of naxos i visited a bustling beachside bar alone one night after a martini at a neighboring beachside restaurant. the bartender was curious about how alone i was, he liked me. i, drunk, was likeable in my giant skirt and silk blouse. i left silently

Santorini: Santorini was an existential crisis. The room I stayed in during the last two days was Peace embodied. Not much else mattered, and the window view of the caldera from the mezannine cannot be captured in any photograph

Crete: in crete i waded through the thigh-deep water, my silver canon tied firmly around my wrist. i marveled at the quite silence of the hotel, at night i went out to sit in the sand. i swam in crete, i sat and read deborah adele's book in crete. i felt lonely and utterly bored in crete. i loved that everyone was allowed to look the way they wanted as they walked aimlessly from one end of the beach to the other-- no one was hiding anything from sight. no body was unwelcome, all bodies were represented. most were burned, even mine got close. in crete we remembered my grandfather and dreamed up the paths he took through the island. in crete we traveled to the pink sand beach, where i hope to have learned a valuable lesson about Wanting What You Don't Have, and Replacing A Feeling of Lack with An Object.

Austria: in Austria we stayed at a hotel with a winding staircase and ate a continental breakfast in that odd room, hushed voices and european stares. Though I care not for the history, for the first time since the start of the trip, I felt good. I felt open to new experience and full of wonder. i kept repeating to myself over the smallest novelties, "fascinating", and stepped out of the smoke-filled echo chamber of the hotel alleyway every day with a sense of calm preparedness. We walked to a big gothic church and that was beautiful, I'll admit. The gargoyles looked friendly against blue sky and in sunlight. 

Armenia: in armenia one of the first nights i spoke to a million people at the new trendy russian bar, of course after harassing the russian bartenders for not speaking armenian. first dea and aleen, then kristik's group of russian repats, then the diaspora mix at the round table and later still walking towards polygraph with Mushegh and his talkative friend who's name i forgot.  it was a marvelous night of speaking in all languages, i enjoyed it very much after weeks of no social interaction. another one of those nights we visited an exhibit in an underground stone cave, spoke to a kind man nextdoor about the power of diaspora contribution to armenia and he gifted us handmade soap. we met kristik's friends on Cascade around midnight and i learned so many different armenian folk dances. we danced around the fountain until we were sweating and tired at 3am, it was marvelous. many full, endless nights full of conversation. so much more social than anything in the US

Georgia: in georgia i disliked the folks. on the second day I walked up the hill, stopping for 2 individual khinkali, and heading up through the forest to the waterfall. I climbed down again, now through sulfur smelling rivers to the baths. I decided to head home as my phone died and stopped by the first place i see to charge it in order to get home-- a little wine bar. I end up staying there from 8pm-3am with ilia, one of the bar's founders. we talked about everything, he had armenian words and when i tried to pronounce georgian ones he was impressed. i haven't had that much wine possibly ever. what a lovely way to get drunk. and what a lovely way to realize after days of lonliness that connection is always out there, especially when you seek it the least.

A lot of time spent on Google Earth looking at various cities/locations to get the lay of the land for writing attacks. Tokyo, Aso Caldera, Fukuoka, Kuroshio, Sedona, Chongqing, Hong Kong, NYC, Sendai, Ishinomaki, San Francisco, Salton Sea, Niagara, and Cabo San Lucas come to mind. This way I know where the rivers and mountains and buildings and suchlike are.

De velours et d’acier (Victorian Fantasy #2) – Georgia Caldera

Je remercie les éditions Pygmalion ainsi que Babelio pour cette lecture dans le cadre des masses critiques. Le résumé m’avait particulièrement attirée lorsque je l’ai vu passer à sa sortie. Un univers steampunk, une héroïne forte, je ne pouvais qu’aimer. Sauf que, à la lecture de De velours et d’argent, j’ai carrément découvert un genre littéraire que je ne connaissais pas : la romance steampunk.…

Haunting Historical Fiction: Books to Read

A Lullaby for Witches by Hester Fox

Two women. A history of witchcraft. And a deep-rooted female power that sings across the centuries. Once there was a young woman from a well-to-do New England family who never quite fit with the drawing rooms and parlors of her kin. Called instead to the tangled woods and wild cliffs surrounding her family’s estate, Margaret Harlowe grew both stranger and more beautiful as she cultivated her uncanny power. Soon, whispers of “witch” dogged her footsteps, and Margaret’s power began to wind itself with the tendrils of something darker. One hundred and fifty years later, Augusta Podos takes a dream job at Harlowe House, the historic home of a wealthy New England family that has been turned into a small museum in Tynemouth, Massachusetts. When Augusta stumbles across an oblique reference to a daughter of the Harlowes who has nearly been expunged from the historical record, the mystery is too intriguing to ignore. But as she digs deeper, something sinister unfurls from its sleep, a dark power that binds one woman to the other across lines of blood and time. If Augusta can’t resist its allure, everything she knows and loves—including her very life—could be lost forever.

Mr Cadmus by Peter Ackroyd

The arrival of an enigmatic stranger wreaks havoc on the denizens of the idyllic English village of Little Camborne; most notably two apparently harmless women. Miss Finch and Miss Swallow, cousins, have put their pasts behind them and settled into conventional country life. But when Theodore Cadmus – from Caldera, a Mediterranean island nobody has heard of – moves into the middle cottage, the safe monotony of their lives is shattered. The fates of the two cousins and Mr Cadmus, and those of Little Camborne and Caldera, become inextricably enmeshed. Long-hidden secrets and long-held grudges threaten to surface, drawing all into a vortex of subterfuge, theft, violence, mayhem . . . and murder

When Ghosts Come Home by Wiley Cash

When the roar of a low-flying plane awakens him in the middle of the night, Sheriff Winston Barnes knows something strange is happening at the nearby airfield on the coast of North Carolina. But nothing can prepare him for what he finds: a large airplane has crash-landed and is now sitting sideways on the runway, and there are no signs of a pilot or cargo. When the body of a local man is discovered—shot dead and lying on the grass near the crash site—Winston begins a murder investigation that will change the course of his life and the fate of the community that he has sworn to protect. Everyone is a suspect, including the dead man. As rumors and accusations fly, long-simmering racial tensions explode overnight, and Winston, whose own tragic past has followed him like a ghost, must do his duty while facing the painful repercussions of old decisions. Winston also knows that his days as sheriff may be numbered. He’s up for re-election against a corrupt and well-connected challenger, and his deputies are choosing sides. As if these events weren’t troubling enough, he must finally confront his daughter Colleen, who has come home grieving a shattering loss she cannot fully articulate. As the suspense builds and this compelling mystery unfolds, Wiley Cash delves deep into the hearts of these richly drawn, achingly sympathetic characters to reveal the nobility of an ordinary man struggling amidst terrifying, extraordinary circumstances.

The Stars Are Not Yet Bells by Hannah Lillith Assadi

Off the coast of Georgia, near Savannah, generations have been tempted by strange blue lights in the sky near an island called Lyra. At the height of World War II, impressionable young Elle Ranier comes to the island when her new husband, Simon, is dispatched by his industrialist father to find the source of the mysterious lights. There they will live for decades, raising a family while employing much of the island's population in a quixotic campaign to find and exploit the elusive minerals rumored to lurk offshore. Fifty years later, as Simon's business is shuttered in disarray, Elle looks back at her life on the mysterious island--and at a secret she herself has guarded for decades. As her memory recedes, her life seems a tangle of questions: How did the business survive so long without ever finding the legendary Lyra stones? How did her own life crumble under treatment for depression? And what became of the other man they brought to the island--handsome, raffish Gabriel, who risked everything to follow the light to its source?

Top 5 des livres nauséabonds (pas forcément mauvais : juste des livres dont l'histoire ou le message était abject) que tu as lu.

Merci @characterfromthebook et bien bienvenue en zone crado ! En général j’ai tendance à abandonner les livres nauséabonds parce que je considère que la vie est trop courte pour me mettre mal à l’aise avec un livre maiiiiiiis j’ai quelques trucs particulièrement abjects ;D

Prenez votre vogalen et en avant ! 

- The king’s peace, Jo Walton

L’héroïne est violée de manière totalement gratuite dans les premières pages. Belle manière de commencer un livre ! Elle donnera naissance à un enfant qu’elle abandonnera ensuite. Plus rien de tout ça ne sera jamais plus abordé. Jusqu’au moment où l’héroïne devra pardonner à son violeur parce qu’il rejoint l’armée de son roi. Elle se rendra alors compte que ce n’est pas un mauvais bougre. Abject.

-Le manga Berserk, Kentaro Miura (je crois mais j’ai pas envie de vérifier)

Je n’ai pas lu ce truc, j’ai juste parcouru des extraits. En fait je connais ce machin grâce à un de mes anciens potes d’études. Le gars célébrait cette oeuvre comme étant “trop d4rk et mature”. En fait c’est aussi mature qu’un adolescent boutonneux qui est en pleine puberté et en mode “sang, sexe et boobs !”. Entre scènes de viol à la pelle, dont une qui dure sur plus de 30 pages, c’est cadeau, et autres immondices, je conseille à l’auteur d’entamer le plus rapidement possible une psychanalyse et de coupler ça à la prise d’un calmant bien lourd, histoire d’arrêter de produire de la bouse. 

-La saga A song of ice and fire, de GRRM

Je sais que ce que je suis sur le point d’écrire va être controversé, mais bon j’ai envie de dire vous me connaissez xDDD

Bref donc ce cycle me débecte à cause de la violence omniprésente, graphique et gratuite, envers les femmes. Alors l’auteur se défend en disant que c’est parce qu’il écrit sur une époque sombre et violente. Certes, mais les trois quarts des choses qu’il décrit ne sont PAS NECESSAIRES à son intrigue. Pourtant, ce ne sont partout que corps féminins violés et mutilés. Le tout ad nauseam. Le viol devient un simple élément de décor, d’ambiance. On a compris que son univers était violent, pas la peine d’en rajouter. En plus de ça, beaucoup de ses personnages masculins s’adonnent à la violence envers les femmes : on a le client de prostituées (le john quoi) coupable de féminicide, celui qui a tué sa femme etc. donc oui on te force a être dans la tête de ces types en PDV interne. Trop bien !

Qui plus est, le monsieur insiste en disant que les mariages de jeunes filles à peine pubère sont rares dans son univers. Pourtant, il multiplie les exemples de gamines mariées à 11,12, 13 ans enceintes et forcées d’avoir des relations sexuelles. Bref, George je pense que t’as un sérieux problème. Arrête de te cacher derrière tes excuses de réalité historique.

-Dentelles et nécromancie, Georgia Caldera 

Une héroïne soumise et innocente et un héros trop d4rk et torturé qui la traite très mal, lui ment, la contrôle...et pourtant ils finissent mariés ! Quelle belle histoire d’amour !

-Mémoires d’une fleur, Jacques Pimpaneau 

L’histoire d’une courtisane dans la Chine ancienne. L’auteur y a déversé ses fantasmes les plus abjects. L’héroïne subit un viol collectif et finit par aimer ça. Rien de plus à dire.

Original caption:

“Ant[arctic]A And Beyond” is a small compilation of 4K footage I’ve shot throughout my expeditions, Artist In Residencies, and travels as a landscape and wildlife photographer. Starting with an incredible 1-month Antarctic expedition to the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, The South Shetland Islands, and the Antarctic Peninsula; followed by my Artist In Residency sailing the high Arctic on a Barquentine Tall Ship with Scientists and other Artists. No adventure is complete without including Alaska, a very special place to me, with footage and imagery from my work along the Chilkat River, Lake Clark National Park, as well as my Artist In Residency with the U.S. Forest Service in the remote designated wilderness areas of Kuiu and Tebenkoff Bay in the Tongass National Forest. I’ve also included a special piece from one of my favorite U.S. National Parks, Yosemite, with footage of the beautiful natural phenomenon known as the “Firefalls.” I close with some personal favorite images taken elsewhere to include the beautiful Great Gray Owl species (Strix nebulosa).

Some of the Southern hemisphere footage I shot in historically significant locations such as Elephant Island, and the resting place of Sir Ernest Shackleton in Grytviken, as well as incredibly remote wildlife locations such as Salisbury Plains and Saint Andrews Bay. Hiking in an active caldera at Deception Island to crossing the Drake Passage simply must be experienced to appreciate.

Sailing the high Arctic on a tall ship full of Scientists and Artists, you experience a collaboration with amazing people from around the world with one common appreciation for expressing the fragility of our natural world.
