WWW Wednesday: March 22nd, 2023

WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll read next? Personal: Remember last week when I said I had been super busy and expected to continue to be super busy for the next couple of weeks? Well, life has a way of changing plans. Let me catch you all…

Parties are a little less crowded now.

It's still hard to remember who not to invite over with David, alas. "But - you knew they were together, didn't you?" "…Yeah. Yeah, I did. I do."

"David, for pity's sake!"

"Scot, will you go distract Jonah from retaliating on David, please?" "Oh, you want me in the path of the bombs, huh? I'll see what I can do."

"I dunno what you call that, dude, but break dancing, it ain't."

"I wish now I'd had more of a chance at the arts, but balls were cheaper and the schools had teams but the only music classes were marching band."

"Hey, mother of twins! I'm flattered you could get away!" "Edwin's co-sitting with the lady next door. She just had a baby too - and she is no spring chicken!"

"Check out our fine new dance space and our fine new stereo!"

"Just start dancing, they'll find their way in."

David has his own ways of avoiding conflict.

But Dixie's not letting that stand. "C'mon. You've got to practice your local skills."

It's a shame about David, but Roxie and Jonah are so nice. "We didn't adopt him; he's just moved in." "Well, it was very nice of you all the same." "Hey, he's a good kid and a good guitarist. The home was no place for him."

@lcveblossomed asked: “ of course they were wrong. ” (matias to willa)

willa was glued to every word that slipped out of matias' lips, gripping her pen tightly as he uttered the last word. "then what happened?" she hadn't written any information down ever since he started the story, which defeated the purpose of their meeting. she was fairly new in the world of supernatural law, but she was quickly learning about it through osmosis. "oh i'm sorry, i really should record these things..." she verbally expressing her thoughts, not realizing what she was doing.

[renmorris]

childhood trauma. the ownership that the patriarchy demands over the bodies of women and children. the church's role in this structure. the quiet specter of mystery csa that hangs overt the Hart household is so. these are parents who in theory are attentive, this is Nice Middle Class family but every little warning sign goes ignored or simply confounds Marty and Maggie.

when Marty meets Dora's mother he comes out of it like ‘I wasn’t raised that way I had a good mother.' Audrey has a ‘good mother' too and she is not protected.

Davis Grubb's anticapitalist-antiprison novella, The Night Of The Hunter is also about this ownership. Women and children struggle to live under not only the failures of capitalism, nationwide poverty but the iron fist of the church that demands that they be subhuman, be property.

Willa, the mother of the children the book follows first must fight to maintain her independence from the institution of marriage after her husband is executed and then, once pressured into marriage is made to be ashamed of her sexuality and desire for physical closeness. This makes her vulnerable to her preacher husband's evangelizing. She lives in denial and her children become strangers to her. She will not listen when they tell her that they are being hurt and threatened by their stepfather. He then murders her.

Anyway the end of the story furiously states that every child in this society no matter how privileged will at some point experience 'the hunter' and experience it alone. That there will be an experience where life changing horror mixes with profound isolation.

FICTIONAL CHARACTER ASK: GONZO THE GREAT

(Asked by popular vote on the polls)

@princesssarisa @salieri27 @softlytowardthesun @moonbeamelf @the-blue-fairie @themousefromfantasyland @fragglesesamemuppetz2 @angelixgutz @silverfoxstole @amalthea9 @anne-white-star @mx-piggy @butchlesbianwulfric @longagoitwastuesday @ardenrosegarden @parxsisburning @lioness--hart @lord-antihero

Favorite Thing About Them: I love the subtle journey they went from a lonely, frustrated performance artist resenting their audience, constantly melancholic due to being rejected in their romantic pursuits several times, to do their daredevil performances mainly to make themselves happy and becoming proud of their weirdness to the point that they gain an atractive sense of humour and confidence.

Also, they are probably the most versatile actor of the Muppet Theater, alternating between heroic and villanous roles with no difficulty.

Least Favorite Thing About Them: That they doesn't have a proper conversation with his chicken girlfriend, Camilla, to let clear if they want to pursue an open polyamorous relationship or if they want to be comited to her in a monogamous relationship.

Three Things I Have In Common With Them:

* I adore the color blue;

* I enjoy classic literature and music;

* I am going trough a journey to learn how to handle my frustration in a healthier way;

Three Things I Don't Have In Common With Them:

* I'm not dating a chicken;

* I'm not a daredevil who does dangerous stunts;

* I never worked as a plumber;

Favorite Line:

From The Muppet Show:

"Gonzo: Kermit, are you busy?

Kermit: Yes, Gonzo, but I can give you my ear for a moment

Gonzo: What would I do with your ear?

Kermit: Van Gogh impressions."

"Kermit: Gonzo! Have you no dignity?

Gonzo: Of course not! How long have we worked together? "

"Gonzo fiddles while George burns! "

"Madeline Kahn: And if there's anything I can ever do for you...

Gonzo:There is one thing.

Madeline Kahn: What?

Gonzo: Let me finish my song. "

"You wanna go to a movie, or grab a stake? "

"Ladies and gentlemen! I will once again defy death and good taste! "

"Camilla, you're sweeter than wine or vanilla, Camilla.

Come lie beneath this tree, it's a willa, Camilla.

Camilla, the night it grows stilla and stilla, Camilla.

You're prettier by far than Godzilla, Camilla."

From The Muppets Go to The Movies:

"Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to see the great Dudley Moore, in a colossal widescreen Roman epic! Lions attack innocent people. Slaves suffer public humiliation. Gladiators fight to the death. I've never laughed so much in all my life.  Roll film! "

From Muppets Tonight:

"We're the Muppets! Doing a bizarre musical number that no one wants to see is what we're all about!"

"Clifford: Gonzo, why do you need a rocket just to jump over chickens?

Gonzo: I give up, Clifford. Why do you need a rocket just to jump over chickens?

Clifford: No man, it's not a joke.

Gonzo: You're telling me, you should see my insurance premiums!"

"The Artist Formerly Known as Prince: You got the ugliest dog I-a ever did see! Wadda call it?

Gonzo: Well, before we painted it brown and glued ears on 'im, we called it an alligator."

"Gonzo: As many of you know, Muppets Tonight has been on the air for over 3.000 years!

Rizzo: That's not right!

Gonzo: Well, I'm aproximating."

From the Muppet Babies episode Dental Hyjinks:

"It must have been horrible! The pain! The suffering! Tells us all about it!"

This dialogue exchange with Baby Piggy from the Muppet Babies episode Gonzo's Video Show:

"Baby Gonzo: Have no fear, my sweet princess. Gonzolo is here!

Baby Piggy: Gonzolo?

Baby Gonzo: Who did they expect, Captain Kirk? Lets get em' boys!"

From the Muppet Babies Star Comic Books of the 1980s:

"Baby Piggy: Gonzo, you're weird!

Baby Gonzo: Aw, Piggy... you're just flattering me!"

"Oh Piggy, I'll be your knight in shining armor! Ow! No armor! Gonzo the Brave needs no armor!"

"You look like a famous queen, My Queen!"

This dialogue exchange with Scooter in the comic book The Muppet Show: Meet The Muppets:

"Scooter: Gonzo... I have to ask you something. It's driving me nuts. Tell me... please...  What the heck are you?

Gonzo: Oh, Scooter. I tought you knew. I'm an artist."

This dialogue exchange with Fozzie and Kermit in The Muppet Movie:

"Gonzo: Well, I want to go to Bombay, India and become a movie star.

Fozzie: You don't to go to Bombay to become a movie star! You go where we we're going: Hollywood.

Gonzo: Sure, if you want to do it the *easy* way."

"There's not a word yet

For old friends who've just met

Part heaven, part space

Or have I found my place

You can just visit

But I plan to stay

I'm going to go back there

Someday

I'm going to go back there

Someday"

From the movie The Great Muppet Caper:

"It's okay, I landed on my head!"

"Gonzo: STOP THE PRESSES!!

News Editors: Why? What happened?

Gonzo: I don't know. I just always wanted to say that."

"Kermit: I don't know why the cabs won't stop.

Gonzo: Just leave it to me. TAXIIIIII!

Kermit: AAH!... uh, that's very effective!"

Gonzo: Yeah, it's great when it works!"

"Yeah, well, photography's an art. You gotta have the right film, you gotta have the right exposure, and you gotta scream just before they get the food to their mouth."

This dialogue exchanges they have with Rizzo in The Muppets Christmas Carol:

"Gonzo: I know the story of A Christmas Carol like the back of my hand!

Rizzo: Prove it!

Gonzo: Alright. Um... There's a little mole on my tumb... and a scar on my wrist from when I fell off my bicycle."

"Rizzo: I fell down the chimney and landed on a flaming, hot goose.

Gonzo: You have all the fun."

This dialogue exchanges in the movie Muppet Treasure Island:

"Billy Bones: Jimmy-Jim-Jimmy-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim! You've always been a decent sort to old Billy Bones.

Gonzo: I'm not Jimmy-Jim-Jimmy-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim. *He's* Jimmy-Jim-Jimmy-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim."

"Gonzo: It just feels so weird.

Rizzo: You mean that Mr. Arrow's dead?

Gonzo: Yeah, that... and my pants are  filled with starfish.

Rizzo: You and your hobbies!"

From the movie Muppets from Space:

"Noah: What are you, anyway?

Gonzo: Oh, uh, good question. Now technically speaking, uhh, let's say, put me down as a... 'Whatever'?"

"Gonzo: Now we can go meet my alien brothers at Cape Doom.

Kermit: Uh, what makes you think that aliens are landing there, Gonzo?

Gonzo: Oh, a sandwich told me."

"Come on, fellas. Take me to my leader."

"Ubergonzo: Gonzo, by surviving and thriving on this alien planet, you have proven yourself audacious, courageous, and distinctly one-of-a-kind. We welcome you back with our most ceremonious of ceremonies.

Gonzo: What's that?

Ubergonzo: We gonna blow you up, baby."

"Gonzo: What a great day.

Kermit: Mm-hmm.

Gonzo: That was probably the best day of my whole life. There's just one thing I still don't understand.

Kermit: What's that, Gonzo?

Gonzo: Why did they ask me to build a jacuzzi?"

From the 2015 ABC mockumentary sitcom the muppets.:

"Hey there! I'm Gonzo! Head writer on Up Late With Miss Piggy... I'm a pisces, I love long walks on the beach, volcanoes, leather, straps... Wait a minute!! Leather straps?! Who put my dating profile on the prompter?!"

"Gonzo: Christina Applegate brought a hilarious clip of Piggy. I knew you wouldn't aprove it, so I went over your head.

Kermit: I'm the boss.

Gonzo: Oh, that's right. So I went behind your back."

"Gonzo: I'm going to call it of, cause I don't want to be a sell out. It's not because I'm scared or anything.

Kermit: But, um, still. If you were scared, it would be okay.

Gonzo: But I'm not.

Kermit: But if you were.

Gonzo: But I'm not.

Kermit: But if you were.

Gonzo: But I'm not.

Kermit: But if you were.

Random Headcanon: The background story of Gonzo's arrival on Earth has similarities with the japanese manga and anime shonen hero Kinnikuman, who is a comedic character inspired by Superman and Ultraman: in that manga the hero's father trows accidentally him aways out of the spaceship after mistaking him with a piglet that entered the spaceship during a brief visit to Earth.

In the case of Baby Gonzo, they were accidentally replaced with a baby turkey. Nanny was the one who found and adopted Gonzo, and as they grew up, Gonzo was the last Muppet to leave Nanny's house to take care of her as she got old, getting a job to survive as a plumber with an neighboring indian imigrant who introduced Gonzo to Indian Cinema. That was how Gonzo got the dream to become a performer in Bombay.

Unpopular Opinion: I think Gonzo's status as a Whatever wouldn't be erased if their status as an alien had remained legitimate after the idea was presented in the Muppet Babies cartoon series and  the movie Muppets from Space. Because while the other aliens have similar physical appearances and share with some interests with Gonzo (like cannons), they didn't have the formative experiences that Gonzo had living on Earth among Muppets and Humans: loving Earth's food, Earth's literature, Earth's clothes, Earth's music genres, Earth's performance art. The Muppet Babies picture story book What Is a Gonzo? presented this point pretty well, when Baby Gonzo crossed a mirror to find a world where all the people had the same face as them, yet who, just like their friends in our world, asked themselves what Gonzo was. At the end of the story, they go to an inventor, Professor Garbonzo, who created a machine called the Onzometer that answers all questions, and when Gonzo asks what they are, the machine answers: "You are Gonzo. Isn't that enough?".

Gonzo can brush their teeth and sing the Itsy Bitsy Spider song at the same time, they like tuna fish sandwiches with ketchup, they can blow a bubble shaped like a peperoni pizza. All those characteristics make them unique, both among aliens and earthlings, so their proud status as a queirky, weird whatever is not treatened with the idea that the character may have outer space alien origins.

Blorbsday! Your characters are now power rangers. Who is what color and what arc do they have for the season as they fight evil with their team?

Okay so my disclaimer is that the only Power Rangers I have ever watched was a Power Rangers movie (2017), which I really enjoyed, but not enough to inspire me to watch other Power Rangers media. That being said, I am answering this for water lilies :

Red ( in the movie, this is Jason Scott; his arc regards a failed prank that got him in trouble with the law, and got him kicked from the football team ) : Finn or Luce (Finn's anger management and athleticism fits, as well as Luce's ability to get emself in trouble without much regard for the potential consequences).

Blue ( in the movie, this is Billy Cranston; his arc regards being harassed due to his autism ) : Cameron (has very niche interests, and little care for exploring outside of them. terrible with people) or Jules (particularly unique and hates confrontation).

Yellow ( in the movie, this is Trini Kwan; his arc regards not having friends, not identifying with family, and lashing out due to these things. ) : August or Gracie (Gracie has the lashing out down pat, while August tries too hard to fit in, sometimes failing miserably).

Pink ( in the movie, this is Kimberly Hart; his arc regards being a popular girl who got in trouble for cyberbullying ) : Willa (in another life, Willa would be that popular girl, struggling with the position life has offered her, culminating in a morality crisis).

Black ( in the movie, this is Zack Taylor; his arc regards his mother being ill, and fearing her death, and isolating himself. ) : Gideon (not because he knows his mother to care about her death, but because he is exactly the type to allow fear of another's death to throw him off so thoroughly, even if not a concrete possibility. he would struggle with sharing the load).

The resolution of all of their plotlines is basically making friends, which would carry over in this rendition. learning to lean on and trust other people is a huge step in trying to better yourself. I'm not sure how interesting this is to read, honestly, but I had fun diving back into the Power Rangers movie, at least.

Thanks for the ask, @sleepyowlwrites!

Klassiker-Verlage Teil 1: Akademische Qualität im Kleinoktavformat

Der Manesse-Verlag ist ein Traditionsverlag aus Zürich, welcher besonders mit der seit seiner Gründung 1944 geführten Bibliothek der Weltliteratur verbunden wird. Er zeichnet sich durch eine unkonventionelle Textauswahl, ausführliche literaturwissenschaftliche Nachworte und eine auffällige Schönheit der handlichen Ausgaben mit Leinenumschlag aus. Bis 2017 bestand das typische Cover der Reihe aus einem weißen Untergrund, einem dezenten Abdruck von Titel und Autor sowie häufig romantischen Gemälden vor farbigem Hintergrund im unteren Bereich des Umschlags und umhüllt sich insgesamt mit einem angenehmen Orbit des Klassikers. Das aktualisierte Layout arbeitet nun mehr mit bunten Farben und Kontrasten, verzichtet teilweise auf Umschläge und druckt das Cover direkt auf den Leinenumschlag. Auch wenn man sich damit der Optik der heutzutage sehr verbreiteten, kleinen Hand-Ausgaben verschiedener Verlage anpasst, fällt die Qualität (und ein dementsprechend leicht höherer Preis) der Ausgaben weiterhin auf. Als Reisebuch eignen sich die Ausgaben ganz besonders, auch wenn sie ebenso wie die klassischen Reclam-Hefte eine gesunde Sehkraft – mit oder ohne Unterstützung – voraussetzen.  

Neben großen Namen wie Goethe, Tolstoi und Melville (die Autoren der ersten drei Ausgaben von 1944), Thomas Mann, Hermann Hesse, E. T. A. Hoffmann, Theodor Fontane, den Bronte-Schwestern, Jane Austen, Shakespeare, Platon und vielen anderen internationalen Vertretern der Weltliteratur sind hier auch eher unbekannte Werke wie Der Stopfkuchen von Wilhelm Raabe, die wenigen Romane des Dänen Jens Peter Jacobs oder gesammelte Erzählungen aus vielen verschiedenen Ländern im Programm zu finden. Die hochwertigen literaturwissenschaftlichen Ergänzungen zu den Werken und Personen sind bei diesen Unbekannten besonders wertvoll für den Leser. Unbekanntes lässt sich auf diese Weise angemessen einordnen, Autoren grob kennenlernen und auch einschätzen, ob das Werk nur heute wenig bekannt ist oder zu den vielen im Nachgang vergessenen Kunstwerken der Menschheitsgeschichte gehört. Der zeitliche Rahmen reicht hier von Texten der Antike und des Mittelalters über die literarische Romantik bis in das 20. Jahrhundert hinein. 2023 erschienen Werke von Platon, Montaigne und zum 150. Geburtstag von Willa Carther eine Neuauflage ihres 2008 in der Reihe erschienenen Romans Lucy Gayheart. 2018 erschienen Texte von Kafka, Cocteau, Morus, Steinbeck, Turgenjew und Sinclair Lewis. Dabei kann sich der Leser unabhängig vom Bekanntheitsgrad des Textes und des oder der Übersetzer*In auf eine qualitativ hochwertige Textgrundlage verlassen und auf fachkundige Erläuterungen einstellen. Sprachästhetisch und literaturhistorisch interessierte wie bibliophil veranlagte Leser können damit ein umfassendes Vergnügen erwarten. Die neueste Selma Lagerlöf-Veröffentlichung ist von Knausgård-Übersetzer Paul Berf aufbereitet worden, unter den Verfassern der Nachworte sind unter anderem die Autor*Innen Doris Lessing, Norbert Gstrein, Susan Sontag, Uwe Timm, Alexander Kluge, Maarten ’t Hart, Eva Menasse, Arno Geiger, Florian Illies und neben Jan Assman (Entwickler des Modells eines kulturellen Gedächtnisses) und Manfred Pfister (Autor des Standardwerks „Das Drama“) viele andere namhafte Kulturwissenschaftler*Innen, Germanist*Innen, Anglist*Innen, Sprachwissenschaftler*Innen und Musikwissenschaftler*Innen sowie Literaturkritiker*Innen wie Ijoma Mangold.

Unser westlicher Blick auf die „Weltliteratur“ beschränkt sich oft auf diese „westliche“ Welt und daher stehen hier englischsprachige Literatur aus den USA und GB sowie europäische Literatur aus Frankreich, Deutschland und Italien im Fokus des sogenannten Kanons. Aber mit der Globalisierung wird der Rahmen immer größer und durch vereinfachte Zugänglichkeit und umfassendere Übersetzungsprojekte werden nahe wie ferne Literaturwelten immer mehr Teil der natürlichen Wahrnehmung der Leser in Europa. Dennoch braucht es in Norwegen einen liquiden Karl-Ove Knausgård, welcher in seinem Pelikan-Verlag norwegische Übersetzungen von u.a. Christian Kracht und Peter Handke verlegt. Die Arbeit des Übersetzers wird selten ausreichend gewürdigt. Die Leipziger Buchmesse fällt mit ihrem Preis für die beste Übersetzung positiv auf. Dabei ist man als Leser gänzlich von ihnen abhängig, da spätestens die asiatischen und afrikanischen Sprachen das Lesen im Original schwierig bis unmöglich machen. Gerade die afrikanische, asiatische und japanische Literatur erreicht in deutschen oder auch englischen Ausgaben die interessierten Leser mittlerweile, ohne dass sie diese selbst bestellen müssen. Sie liegen einfach in den Buchläden aus. Der besondere Reiz ist hier sicher „das Neue“ – stilistisch wie inhaltlich. Literatur fungiert auch als Spiegel einer Gesellschaft und Kultur und so eröffnet sie einen Blick auf die Welt und vergangene Zeiten. Gerade als Leser von profitorientierten und dementsprechend ausgereizten Genres wie der Fantasy- und Horror-Literatur profitieren von dieser Erweiterung des Angebots.

Der Manesse-Verlag pflegt diese Vielfalt in seiner Reihe schon seit deren Beginn. Die Literatur der Antike wird mit Werken bis zur Gegenwart aus Europa, den nordischen Ländern, Russland, den USA und Kanada, Türkei, Asien, dem arabischen Raum, Persien und Südafrika weitergeführt. In einer Vielzahl von Anthologien werden die Werke von Autor*Innen all dieser Länder und in all diesen Sprachen direkt vereint. Auch Werke aus dem Katalanischen und Hebräischen sind Teil des Katalogs.  Eine gewisse Einführung kann dann entweder hilfreich sein oder den eigenen Blick auf den Text verstellen, aber als mündiger Leser bleibt die Lektüre eines Nachwortes ja eine freiwillige Entscheidung. Bei der Lektüre eines Bandes der Bibliothek der Weltliteratur bietet es meist erhellende und auf ein Minimum reduzierte Informationen, in einigen Fällen auch Erläuterungen zu relevanten Hintergründen.

Eine weitere Hürde ist sicher die Übersetzung. Diejenigen, welche einen Text von einer Sprache in eine andere Sprache übertragen sehen sich nicht nur mit sprachlichen Fragen konfrontiert, sondern auch mit kulturellen wie gesellschaftlichen Fragen, welche die nicht niedergeschriebene Basis von Texten sind und dementsprechend nicht nur mit der Übersetzung weiterzugeben sind. Die Macht der Übersetzung darf nicht vergessen werden. Ein prominentes Beispiel hierfür ist die Neuübersetzung des Romans Gefährliche Geliebte von Haruki Murakamis Stammübersetzerin Ursula Gräfe, deren 2013 veröffentlichte Übersetzung des 1992 verfassten Romans den Einfluss ihrer eigenen Sprache überdeutlich offenbarte. Vielleicht liest man hier eher einen Gräfe-, denn einen Murakami-Roman. Die Übersetzungen für den Manesse-Verlag sind sprachlich sehr gut und haben einen hohen Standard, welcher zumindest ein großes Bemühen um Originalität und Authentizität vermuten lässt. Als Fazit lässt sich daher festhalten, dass die Bibliothek der Weltliteratur Lektüre auf hohen Niveau bietet – sowohl intellektuell als auch rein optisch und in der praktischen Handhabung.  

Persönlicher Zugang:

Ich wurde rein optisch von meinem ersten (gebrauchten) Manesse-Band angezogen, den "Meisternovellen" vom Nobelpreisträger Björnstjerne Björnson (1963 erschienen). Der Auslagetisch eines Antiquariats lockte mit einigen gut erhaltenen Ausgaben der Reihe. Das Cover und die handliche Größe fielen mir als rege Nutzerin des ÖPNV sofort ins Auge. Mein Rucksack wiegt meist schwer, da standardmäßig mehrere Bücher für alle Eventualitäten (wenn auch nicht in dem Ausmaß wie es Rory Gilmore in den "Gilmore Girls" handhabt) darin zu finden sind. Zur Rückenschonung sind handliche Bücher daher ein Muss, während dicke Schmöker Zuhause genossen werden sollten. Zudem wurde mit der Lektüre von Knausgård-Romanen, den in seinem Werk mehrfach angesprochenen Romanen des Skandalautors Knut Hamsun und einigen anderen skandinavischen Romanen (explizit KEINE Krimis) mein Interesse an der nordischen Literatur geweckt. Und hier hat der Manesse-Verlag einige Romane und Erzählungen zu bieten. Anschließend griff ich von selbigem Tisch dann den hochromantischen Roman "Niels Lyhne" vom Dänen Jacobsen und ließ mich von der naturmystischen Kulisse verzaubern. Momentan ist mein "Buch für Unterwegs" der englische Reisebericht "Die Aran-Inseln" von John M. Synge und neben dem schönen grünen Buchrücken sind auch die Illustrationen hier besonders zu betonen. Die Bilder des Films The Banshees of Inisherin können dabei meine Vorstellung allerdings nicht ganz verlassen.
