The Sunday Salon - October 24



I feel like I'm eventually upon a upswing with my health this week (at least as far as my thyroid is concerned). On a alternative hand you someway managed to get both an earache (on one side) as well as a sinus infection (on a alternative side) without carrying a cold.

We went to a pumpkin vegetable patch again yesterday, as well as once again you forgot my camera. Thankfully my father had his camera phone so you were able to take a couple of pictures, even yet they aren't as frail as they would have been with a good camera. We didn't hang around very long to fool around this time since it was most colder this week end as well as there were clever winds.

We all got pumpkins, that my father will carve later this week. My youngest already told me that he wants to wear latex gloves when you clean out a pumpkins since touching a guts creates him gag. His preschool clergyman got to discover that first hand last year when they scooped out a pumpkin in class. Something about all of that slippery pumpkin gore is only too most for him.

I'm excited to contend that we're finished with a door-to-door popcorn sales for pup scouts. My son managed to raise enough income for all of his activities this year except summer stay (he only raised about 1/4 of a funds needed for camp). I'm only anxious that you haven't had to wander around around a area with a wagon full of popcorn this weekend.

I haven't motionless that book you will read today, though it will either be The Waters Rising by Sheri S. Tepper or The Marriage Bureau for Rich People by Farahad Zama. It will unequivocally rely upon what I'm in a mood for.

Poetry puzzles

Who is Ozymandias? Why is Coleridge's Lime-Tree Bower his prison? And what is the proper spelling of The Waste Land? The solving of a poem's puzzles is one poetry's greatest pleasures In the late 1990s the indefatigable John Sutherland produced a series of entertaining books about puzzles in fiction (Why is Frankenstein's monster yellow? Where does Fanny Hill keep her contraceptives? Who gets what in Heathcliff's will?). The books were initially linked to reissues of novels in the Oxford World's Classics series, and I was struck at the time how beautifully these little inquisitions of Sutherland's, often on apparently absurd or marginal issues in the text, got readers reading again, with attention and interest. What Sutherland was doing, in effect, was smuggling serious literary criticism into an apparently superficial form of writing. Perhaps, in a sense, he was even re-inventing literary criticism. In this era of academic theorising and the downsizing of m...

CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed by Frdric Chaubin review

These images of Soviet architecture from the Brezhnev era are simply out of this world Soviet brutalism is not something traditionally thought of as beautiful, but Frdric Chaubin's stunning photographs, published under the facetious title CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed , should go some way to changing this. Fascinated by the massive scale of Brezhnev-era architecture, the French photographer has toured the former Soviet Union since 2003, in search of dramatic examples of these sculptural buildings. The 1970s-1990s was a strong period for Soviet architecture, especially in the peripheral republics, where outlandish designs were an expression of the striving for independence, an early inkling of the break-up of the USSR. Architects at this time picked up where they left off following the suppression of the avant-garde by Stalin in the early 1930s, and were able to capitalise on advances made in engineering in the interim period, producing buildings with enormous in...
