But Knabb is not just "countered" as an editor, but as a translator, as well. Its editor: Tom McDonough.Ĭentered around 1958, the year the first issue of Internationale Situationniste came out, this book certainly reveals a few glaring omissions from Knabb's collection: the complete text of Debord's 1957 "Report on the Construction of Situations," (Knabb only offered excerpts) Debord's "Theses on the Cultural Revolution" (1958) the unattributed "Critique of Urbanism" (1961) and Raoul Vaneigem's "Comments Against Urbanism" (1961). And so, in 2002, October expanded the collection and published it as a 500-page-long, illustrated tome entitled Guy Debord and the Situationist International: Texts and Documents. McDonough (see picture above) edited a special issue of October that focused upon "Guy Debord and the Internationale situationniste." This collection had an announced agenda: to provide a counter-weight to Ken Knabb's Situationist International Anthology (1981), which, as Knabb himself says, is "admittedly weighted somewhat toward the situationists' later, more 'political' period." But McDonough's special issue of October, though it focused on the situationists' earlier, more "artistic" period, wasn't really weighty enough to offer an effective counter-balance to Knabb's massive Anthology.

Now freed, working as a pro-democracy campaigner in enforced exile, Khodorkovsky brings us the insider's battle to save his country's soul. Once an oil tycoon and the richest man in Russia, Khodorkovsky spoke out against the corruption of Putin's regime - and was punished by the Kremlin, stripped of his entire wealth and jailed for over ten years. Mikhail Khodorkovsky has seen behind the mask of Vladimir Putin. But it came close.' Mikhail Khodorkovsky, March 2021 The announcement didn't quite say 'dead or alive'. But I was, let's say, concerned when I tuned into the Moscow Echo radio station and heard that the Kremlin had put a price on my head. 'I'm a fairly calm fellow I don't usually get het up about things. An urgent analysis of the battle between Russia and the West, by former Kremlin insider and now vocal Putin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Evidently I’ve been mixed up in situations-the Jewish situation-which were none of my business, I had no business being there. So all that, it made some noise, some boiling, the guns, the waterfalls. There you can say it was finished and well finished, the white civilization. How’s that for catharsis! The fall of Stalingrad is the finish of Europe. The tragic Greeks had the impression of speaking with the gods … Well, sure … Christ, it’s not everyday you have a chance to telephone the gods. They remember personal little stories which aren’t tragedy. Most authors are looking for tragedy without finding it. Journey to the End of the Night, Death on the Installment Plan-that should’ve been enough … I got into it out of curiosity. An author doesn’t have so many books in him. They like us to amuse them without abusing them. Those’re people with whom you’ve got to be gentle … You can’t beat them up. So what can I say to you? I don’t know how to please your readers. Interviewed by Jacques Darribehaude & Jean Geunot Issue 31, Winter-Spring 1964 The classic 1980 Warners logo has barely left the screen before we are presented with virtual shot-by-shot restagings of well-remembered scenes: Danny pedalling his bike, the crone in the bath, the eerie twins. It is well-known that King has little time for Stanley Kubrick’s film of The Shining, but no sequel was going to get by without leaning towards that copper-bottomed classic. If only it weren’t for the evil step-parent lurking in the wings. He finds that assistance in a small town where he dries out and locates work at a local hospice. More rooted and vulnerable than usual, McGregor convinces as a ruined man (we hardly need explain what did the damage) who needs a helping hand to get him back on the straight path. The grown-up Danny carries around many of the author’s familiar concerns: regrets about family, worries about mortality, a tendency to wake and discover he’s thrown up on his date. Rebecca Ferguson is Rose the Hat, a sort of MTV witch – Stevie Nicks's titfer and Joan Jett's strides - who sucks power from kids with Danny's gifts.įor much of its lengthy duration, Doctor Sleep reminds us why King matters and reassures us that he’s still got it (or some of it). As you will almost certainly be aware, Doctor Sleep is adapted from Stephen King’s sequel to his own novel The Shining.Įwan McGregor plays the psychic Danny Torrance, son to mad Jack, now grown into a disappointed drunk. Few are the films that have such a dysfunctional relationship with their sources and predecessors. |
