It has been said since ancient times that the nature of reality is much closer to music than to a machine, and this is confirmed by many discoveries in modern science. The essence of a melody does not lie in its notes; it lies in the relationships between the notes, in the intervals, frequencies, and rhythms. When a string is set vibrating we hear not only a single tone but also its overtones—an entire scale is sounded. Thus each note involves all the others, just as each subatomic particle involves all the others, according to current ideas in particle physics.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (and more)

The late Jack Leigh may be most remembered for his image, “Midnight,” a 1993 photograph of a sculpture called “Bird Girl” in Savannah, Georgia’s Bonaventure Cemetery. The image was a commissioned for the cover of author John Berendt’s novel, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. But Leigh’s career stretches beyond the single image. “Jack Leigh: Full Circle, Low Country Photographs, 1972-2004,” at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) Museum of Art celebrates his legacy.

Can you believe I grew up with this book on my parents' bookshelf, and I never read it once? Of course I HAD to read it once I found it at the library.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt

Whew, has this book aged poorly. I understand that a lot of what I found upsetting in this book is a product of the times, but to read racial and transphobic slurs almost every other page...hard pass. I kept going because I was waiting for the true crime promise to come to fruition, but even when it did, the thing I took away from this book was how it doesn't hold up even remotely in 2022. It was not compelling enough of a read on its own: maybe in ye olde dark ages, when society was less enlightened, this was a completely titillating case (read: gay and transgender and people of color as shock factors), but for readers today, avoid this. I'm still shocked at the content within, and disappointed I wasted the time finishing it, I was so horrified.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt 4/5 ⭐️

I’ve been on a non-fiction kick lately which is a first for me. I would definitely say I’m not a big reader of non-fictions because I’ve had this belief they’re not as entertaining as fiction books but that’s definitely not the case, and this book is the truth of that. This book shares the narrators account of the inhabitants sharing stories about the history of Savannah, Georgia and the array of individuals that live in this unique, quirky community. You get to learn a lot of history about Savannah through out the years and really see how much this community prides itself on its unique and entirely independent way of living outside of the rest of the state, and United States. The reason I give it 4/5 stars is that the murder doesn’t take place until far pretty far into the book. I was anticipating it sooner - it almost felt like a history book that got switched into the story of murder along the way of being written but, of course, how can you skip a murder taking place while you’re writing about the happenings of this town? Overall, Berendt gave a very clear and vivid description of Savanah and its one-of-a-kind residents. It will definitely leave the reader wanting to take a trip to visit Savanah, and dive into the city’s rich history and architecture.

Media noche en el jardín del bien y del mal

1 UNA VELADA EN MERCER HOUSE Era alto, tendría unos cincuenta años de edad, y era de rasgos apuestos aunque oscuros, siniestros casi: llevaba un bigote correctamente recortado, el cabello plateado en las sienes, y tenía unos ojos tan negros que recordaban los cristales tintados de una reluciente limusina, de modo que él veía lo de fuera, pero era imposible ver su interior.

Linguistic capacity in the acoustic realm is accordingly much further developed than in the visual sphere. Language reflects what our senses supply. The eye yields incomplete information, which is why colour words are imprecise and cannot attain exactitude through additional description. When language has to express something vague, imprecise, or ostensible, it time and again resorts to words from the optical sphere: imagined (from the Latin imago = picture), illusory (from the Latin lux = light), semblance, etc. The ear, on the other hand, supplies data based on measurement, so language can be more exact when it reflects what has been heard.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil – John Berendt 

20.9.2022

Another lacklustre read, maybe I picked it up in the wrong mood, but this just felt like an endless introduction of characters without much of a story. Certainly no where near the league of In Cold Blood.

Piotr Schmidt International Sextet “Komeda Unknown 1967”

SJ Records, 2022 Wszechświatowy szał na odnajdywanie zapomnianych, niepublikowanych wcześniej nagrań nie ogarnął polskiego rynku wydawniczego w tak wielkim nasileniu jak to miało miejsce w USA. Tytuły, które pojawiły się w Polsce,  wytrzymywały jakościowe kryterium oceny. I na pewno można by je określić jako – co najmniej – interesujące. Tak też jest w przypadku najnowszej produkcji…
