When Lit Blew Into Bits New York...

When Lit Blew Into Bits New York magazine The re ally stunning thing about Oscar Wao, in true aughts fashion, is its style. Díaz turns the book over to a small crowd of narrators, each of whom seems to channel 100 different subcultures and dialects. The result is a reference-studded Spanglish loaded so densely with extratextual shout-outs (ringwraiths, Le Corbusier, Joseph Conrad’s...

The Book Barge boat, boatique, blog and Blood Rivals

... than the first lock, daydreaming invariably follows the infinitely more sensational lines of a Joseph Conrad plot (interestingly, the boat is also called Joseph). ... I fancy that we’re gunrunning rather than bookselling, and the setting is rather more South China Sea than Burton on Trent suburbia. Consequently, I tend to find boat-related fiction much more pleasing than real-life...

The Booker should be abolished." No, I've never read a comment like that about a Booker prize shortlist either. I have, however, read (and written) many such critiques of Turner prize shortlists. But why does contemporary...

Art v books: a critical double standard

Jonathan Jones in The Guardian : "This year's Booker shortlist was worthless; none of the novelists on it has any chance of being remembered in 50 years, none of these books can compare for one second with the great tradition of English literature. Set one of these minor talents alongside a Jane Austen or a Joseph Conrad , and it is clear we live in mediocre cultural times. The Booker...

Having a go at astronomy

In amongst the research stuff and pitching, I have read some books. Joseph Conrad's Secret Agent (1907) is a chap called Verloc. He comes from an unspecified foreign country where he was up to unspecified revolutionary stuff, though we also know he did some plotting in France. Now he runs a rude bookshop in London, cover for secret meetings with other agitators and anarchists. Verloc's...

The best-dressed men in Sub-Saharan Africa

... with trash and half-dressed children. Incidentally, this is somewhat reminiscent of a scene from Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness , which also took place (mostly) in Sub-Saharan Africa. The chief accountant in the book, a white man who had been in the Belgian Congo for several years, insisted on keeping his clothing looking neat despite all the chaos and death surrounding...

Apocalypse Now tops London critics' 30th anniversary poll

... at our first awards ceremony 30 years ago." Apocalypse Now, which Coppola based loosely on Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, is often named in critics' polls, though it rarely makes it to the No 1 spot. That place is usually reserved for Orson Welles's Citizen Kane (1941), with Coppola's Godfather films running close behind. Kane was placed at No 1 in the most recent Sight and...
