"Per fortuna era ancora convinto di essere un uccello. Se avesse perduto la fiducia di saper volare non ne sarebbe stato più capace"

You see, Wendy, when the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.

British gay/bi male writers and their social circles

As a great admirer of gay literature, the social circles of gay and bisexual male writers is something that piques my interest. Due to the dangerousness of the matter in the past and also because it revolves around a relatively small niche, it seems that there was high level familiarity between these figures. The United Kingdom, a country whose literary input has abundant homoerotic tones, is a very adequate setting to analyze such a configuration.

I've been building a graph on this subject for some time, and now it seems mature enough for me to post it. It's a diagram based on friendship connections — deep or superficial —, although romantic and family-related connections are also included. Just a mutual recognition of existence isn't enough to justify a connection (otherwise most of them would be linked to Wilde!), and rivalries were not considered too. All the writers included were born during the Victorian and Edwardian eras (1837-1910), where this interconnectivity seemed particularly strong.

This is just an early version, as I imagine there is still a considerable amount of information that I missed. Therefore, I'm very open to suggestions and comments on it!

(Three Irishmen were also included in the diagram: Stoker, Wilde and Reid)

While I'm still Gaimanposting, does the Other Mother seem to anyone else like a weird hybrid of Peter Pan and Captain Hook? I mean, on one hand Peter is sorta the immortal god of a whimsical but dangerous fantasy world where kids can escape to, and due to his eternal immaturity he's more sinister and selfish than he initially appears. On the other hand, Hook has the animal nemesis and also the weird Freudian dynamic where he's like the fantasy world's alternate version of Wendy's dad (especially given that Hook and Mr. Darling are traditionally played by the same actor).

Publishers' Binding Thursday

This week's publishers' binding is Tommy and Grizel by Scottish novelist and playwright J.M. Barrie (1860-1937). This is the first American edition of Tommy and Grizel, which was published in 1900 by Charles Scribner's Sons. The illustrator is not named in the book but we found out that the illustrations are by English cartoonist and illustrator Bernard Partridge. Some of the illustrations are quite strange, featuring ghostly figures and strange captions like "'I woke up,' she said."

The cover was designed and is signed by renowned publishers' binding designed by Margaret Armstrong—her signature MA stamp can be seen in the bottom left of the design. The design includes leafy vines with berries on them (perhaps a nod to Barrie's name?), a shield with two 3-leaved clovers in black and gold, and the title and author's name. On the spine the title and author's name are again stamped in gold accompanied by a floral decoration. The cover is a warm brown book cloth.

Got a friend into Captain Hook like two days ago and she already asks the dangerous question of whether Hook wears a wig or not

#Captain Hook #James hook #Peter pan #James Barrie #I'm stalling a bit but basically i m saying *it dépends* #And if you're asking yes i do plan to make her watch Peter Pan 2003 dont worru #i know some of yll want it to be real hair but i prefer it to be a wig

In the midst of them, the blackest and largest jewel in that dark setting, reclined James Hook, or as he wrote himself, Jas. Hook, of whom it is said he was the only man that the Sea-Cook [Long John Silver] feared. He lay at his ease in a rough chariot drawn and propelled by his men, and instead of a right hand he had the iron hook with which ever and anon he encouraged them to increase their pace. As dogs this terrible man treated and addressed them, and as dogs they obeyed him. In person he was cadaverous and blackavised [of dark complexion], and his hair was dressed in long curls, which at a little distance looked like black candles, and gave a singularly threatening expression to his handsome countenance. His eyes were of the blue of the forget-me-not, and of a profound melancholy, save when he was plunging his hook into you, at which time two red spots appeared in them and lit them up horribly. In manner, something of the grand seigneur still clung to him, so that he even ripped you up with an air, and I have been told that he was a raconteur of repute. He was never more sinister than when he was most polite, which is probably the truest test of breeding, and the elegance of his diction, even when he was swearing, no less than the distinction of his demeanour, showed him one of a different cast from his crew. A man of indomitable courage, it was said that the only thing he shied at was the sight of his own blood, which was thick and of an unusual colour. In dress, he somewhat aped the attire associated with the name of Charles II, having heard it said in some earlier period of his career that he bore a strange resemblance to the ill-fated Stuarts; and in his mouth he had a holder of his own contrivance which enabled him to smoke to cigars at once. But undoubtedly the grimmest part of him was his iron claw.

“Nel momento in cui dubiti di poter volare, perdi per sempre la facoltà di farlo. Il motivo per cui gli uccelli, a differenza degli esseri umani, sono in grado di volare, risiede nella loro fede incrollabile, perché avere fede vuol dire avere le ali.”

— James M. Barrie, Peter Pan nei Giardini di Kensington

A Ghost Story for Christmas: Count Magnus (2022)

"The, um, the mausoleum - the Count's tomb - might I crave a..."

"Yes?"

"A visit? It would be so helpful for my researches."

"Certainly. It is in the care of the church in the next village. I shall have a word with the deacon."

"Ah, now that must have been him I saw earlier."

"I beg your pardon?"

"Well, I saw someone. Standing on the steps, locking, or unlocking I suppose, the door. That must have been your deacon."

"Yes. It must have been."

Gatiss once again nests the story with a seemingly unknown narrator and pulls a few tricks here and there (including putting the #biggest and most shameless jumpscare not at the end of the play but right in the middle: i fair leaped out of my seat) #Watkins embodies the classic James protagonist; not a bad man nor a fool‚ but simply one given too freely to curiosity without due care #the style of this new run of plays is suitably painterly and richly drawn but if i had to make a criticism (or better stated‚ a comparison) #it's simply that they lack the original run's satisfaction in being simply very quiet and very still and letting the horror bleed out #regardless; Gatiss is too fond of eerie musical stings and floating camera work to allow the story to simply hang in the air for a moment #and breathe a chilly breath (something Clark was a master at). regardless this is excellent festive spookery and one of the xmas highlights

Music To Watch TV By

Paul Fitzpatrick: London February 2024 You know you’re becoming crankier when you have thoughts like –‘when I was a lad there were only 3 tv channels and now there are 500 and I still can’t find anything to watch!’It’s a ridiculous sentiment of course, there’s always a channel showing The Sopranos or a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode these days. Anyhow, I was having one of those moments recently,…

Aliens are a controversial bunch, whether genocidal xenophobes or lovable harbingers of technology and galaxy-based cooperation. Regardless of what flavour you take your politics, it would probably be a good idea to check up on them. In 1998, a family film poked fun at the fictional investigators tasked with keeping the status quo, as the alien guests of the new millennium were met by the Men in…
