For Eimear Walshe, There are no 'Goodies or Baddies'

You’ve essentially been navigating this dual existence your entire life.    And even still. I’ve actually grown bored talking about it and I don’t feel like I need to define myself anymore. I also think that definition was based on white people’s comfort, whereas whenever I meet Mexicans, especially in Mexico, nobody fucking cares. My Tia has red hair and blue eyes, and she was born and raised in…

FOUR STRONG WINDS // SELF PARA 

catriona ethel o’shea, passed away on the evening of november 1st 2020 by a house fire. born the 12th of may 1955, to eimear connell, and richard connell, in dublin, ireland. the remainder of her estate, as declared in catriona’s final will and testament, has been left to her granddaughter joanna o’shea @joeyoshea. the decision to share this wealth with the rest of her siblings, will be solely up to her. and a teacup, traced back to the tsarist period of russia, and a bottle of finest russian vodka, as a gift to her dearest friend Viktorya Vasile. @vikavasile

“four strong winds that blow lonely...” a song, sweet to the tongue she sings. parsing over the pages of her very own obituary, with a lick to the tip of her finger, catriona flicks the page over by its corner. in her other hand, sits a pocket watch, rusted with age, cogs visible in the centre. it’s copper case sports in clear cursive: to my dearest husband, rian o’shea. 

rickety wheels, roll off into the distance. she must leave town. only for a little while, her formal introduction to lazarus drew sooner. each rotation of the locomotive counting down the seconds her identity is wiped from the earth. yet it’s not catriona’s ‘death’ that concerns her, quite the contrary, she was so much happier being dead. the binds securing her body to the walsh’s had finally been freed, no longer a pawn or a figurehead for irish power brought out at functions, then promptly put back in the cupboard. what would rian think of this decision? it’s a question that plagued her sleep from the moment lazarus came to her, “...seven seas that run high”.  their plan was to conquer, together, under their banner. leave the american’s speaking the o’shea name in respect, and in fear. the moment the o’shea’s bowed down to the walsh’s, she believes rian’s ghost left her home. a space once filled with his everlasting presence grew absent. frigid. tonight, she sets out to retrieve a sacrifice, the only person after rian catriona would instantly lay her life on the line for. but tonight, the moment her silver bullet passes through her sisters heart, she’d secure her freedom. a cruel as it sounded, it was the reality of the business she’d married into many decades ago. power and glory required blood and sacrifice. people were merely collateral damage, an important lessen if one ever wanted to win such a game, “...all those things that don't change, come what may.” an unfortunate soul from the street, dragged inside to pose as catriona’s self, before the flame was lit. setting the beautiful tudor home into an ascension of flame, and the release of the putrid smell of gasoline hanging in the atmosphere. an intentional arson, it’s easy to see. for that’s exactly how she wants it. lazarus needs it this way. and, with a clearly detailed will and testament to match, there’s nothing left of her for her foes’s to take. a message she demands to fill the entire chicago skyline with. lazarus asked for her to die, she could only oblige.“but our good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on...” the train comes to a slow holt. weighing the cool metal of the watch in her palm, the former matriarch steps out onto the platform. she’s suddenly hyper aware of the pistol strapped to her upper thigh, as if the object had suddenly grown aware of it’s larger purpose. demanding presence. the final words to her song no longer seem fitting. for her return to chicago later tonight brought a new identity, a future there would be no turning back from. she had life again, a job to do: for herself, for lazarus, and for rian.

Trying to Die (More Like )

Why the shock horror & surprise that little old Ireland hasn’t made it through to the Eurovision Grand Prix yet again? Do we really need to get down & dirty about the real honest to God reasons why we didn’t? Let’s call a spade a spade, and agree that we were really crap & have been for Yonks!. One of the Norwegian Jurors quite aptly put it yesterday that “Ireland had lost it’s way in Eurovision.” he got replaced, but hey sing Hallelujah, wasn’t he right. Maybe if more were as honest as he was, we’d take note &  come to the realisation that we need to go back to the drawing board and look at how we did it in the Eighties & Nineties when we were the King maker’s, or because it’s Eurovision Queen maker’s. We used a very simple formula ‘The National Song Contest’ to select our Eurovision entries, A songwriter, a song, a singer & a Jury, Hey Presto! Johnny Logan, Linda Martin, Niamh Kavanagh, Eimear Quinn  & OMG the ultimate Irish Eurovision winner of all times Paul Harrington & Charlie McGettigan with Rock & Roll Kids. That’s how to do EUROVISIONNNN, no vested interests from the likes of gormless Louis Walsh who like Maureen Hughes when it comes to casting uses her own cronies for everything & gets bucket loads of money from RTE in return ( a whole other blog for a whole other day ) The other difference about our hey day in decades gone by was that our Best singers & song writer’s weren’t afraid, or ashamed to lend their talents to Ireland in Eurovision. That all changed with Your a Star, when we sent the Dregs of anything remotely related to music to Eurovision, Hmmmm Donna & Joe anyone, & of course not from the Your a Star camp,  the Devil Puppet Dustin the Turkey. We may have lost our way & allowed Sweden to be what we were way back then, the Country to watch, but it’s not too late. we still have that enviable record under our Eurovision belt. 7 wins, 2nd place four times, once in 3rd, and three times in 4th & three times in 5th place. Let’s do this, I put it to RTE & The best Singers & Songwriters out there to get your fingers out, climb aboard our Eurovision Time Machine & travel back to the Glory days of Eurovision & prevent Sweden getting that 7th win, after all as they say “It’s not the taking part that counts...it’s the winning.

Bookshop of the Month: Daunt Belsize Park

As bookshop chains go, you can’t get much more stylish than Daunt Books. We love the amazing Edwardian oak galleries of their Marylebone store. We’re also totally besotted with the local touches and expert hand-selling at the smaller stores, so this month we’ve been catching up with booksellers Olivia Griffiths and James Elliott at their Belsize Park branch.

And Other Stories: What do you think is special about Daunt Books in general and the Belsize Park store in particular?

James Elliott: Any reader wanting a recommendation for their next book can come into Daunt Books and expect a full-on personal bookseller service - from the ground up, the way the shops are run is to allow booksellers to devote as much time as possible to ask questions, do research and basically do anything to get that reader a book that is absolutely right for them. And yet, we try to display things in such a way that anyone wanting to come and browse alone, in peace and at their own pace, can hopefully find something perfect they otherwise might not have done. (I think most bookshops aim to offer the same services, but I think we strike the balance more often than not.)

Olivia Griffiths: I would have to agree with James on the considered curation of the shops in what we stock and pass onto our customers to read. I think the contribution that they make to the local community - Belsize Park very much included! - cannot be underestimated either and in a city famed for its commitment to the avoidance of eye contact on public transport, the moments of connection that take place here are increasingly valuable for bookseller and customer alike.

AOS: If money was no object, what changes would you make to your bookshop?

OG: Infinite amounts of storage and self-dusting shelves!

JE: An in-store print-on-demand book machine, like the Espresso but fancier (and a completely reformatted rights market to allow new books to be printed there and then and not just delivered from warehouses).

 AOS: How / why did you get into bookselling?

JE: The money. [Readers - we think this may be ironic. Ed.]

OG: It seemed like the easiest way to keep reading, thinking and talking about books as I’ve always loved to do . The fact that it pays the bills is, of course, a bonus.

AOS: What’s the funniest thing you ever heard anyone say in the shop?

OG: The novelty of not needing to pay for our plastic bags [small businesses are exempt from the 5p charge] continues apace. The latest enthusiastic recipient recently informed me that they are ‘fantastic for marinating’.

JE: A Brexiteer and former frontman of a 90s pop group told me he was voting to leave the EU because if you’ve got a problem with the government here, you can pack your car full of explosives and drive to Parliament quite easily, but if you’ve got a problem with the EU, you’ve got to drive those explosives all the way to Brussels, which is totally unrealistic.

AOS: What’s your favourite And Other Stories book?

JE: Martin John [by Anakana Schofield]. An almost impossibly brilliant and powerful example of style augmenting content, and content augmenting style (AND that content being seriously important to boot).

OG: Vertigo by Joanna Walsh, a ‘novel’ that played a big part in revealing to me the extent of the possibilities of experimental forms in fiction. It set me on the path of finding many other similarly instructive female authors that continue to redefine our understanding of the limits of genre and expression.

AOS: What book published in the last year do our readers need to get their hands on?

JE: Horrible question, great question - The Argonauts [by Maggie Nelson], or A Cup of Rage [by Raduan Nassar - translated by our very own Stefan Tobler], or The Lesser Bohemians [by Eimear McBride].

OG: For balance: Chelsea Girls by Eileen Myles by way of fiction, The Hatred of Poetry by Ben Lerner from Fitzcarraldo’s enviable non-fiction list and, lastly, Edmund Gordon’s soon-to-be classic biography The Invention of Angela Carter.

AOS: What would be your desert island book?

OG: I don’t think I’m alone in having that one book that I earnestly pick up & intend to read once every few months but have yet to finish. For me, it’s Doris Lessing’s The Golden Notebook that I would hope to, distraction aside, finally conquer.

JE: If you’re giving me the eight discs as well, probably Gerbrand Bakker’s beautiful masterpiece of stillness The Twin - if not, for its incredible marriage of music and emotion, Orfeo by Richard Powers.
