Rachel Cusk, from Outline

[Text ID: I became aware of this feeling of having deserted my own life, as once I would desert my room; and I was suddenly filled with the most extraordinary sense of existence as a secret pain, an inner torment it was impossible to share with others, who asked you to attend to them while remaining oblivious to what was inside you, like the mermaid in the fairy story who walks on knives that no one else can see.]

[elucubrare]

what it means that a Great Work was pop culture of its time is not necssarily that it's not Great, it's about how to approach it. so many things are like -

where the aura around the work and the layers of reception and whatever perception the individual brings to the work because of cultural osmoisis really prevent them from actually engaging with the thing itself and not with those extra layers. and that's not even getting into the things where it's like

as anyone who's done Dracula Daily has experienced!

and ok, it's not actually possible to really approach these works the way you would a book that came out this year, nor is it really the best lens of analysis a lot of the time (many Classics™ are Classics™ as much because of dialogues they sparked when they were new or innovation of form as any inherent quality), but it's often a fun exercise to approach these works not as objects of analysis but as stories in their own right.

[there's also a corollary: today's pop culture may enter into the future's canon, in part because canonicity isn't really about quality, but in part because it is nearly impossible to predict what will remain of our time when we are in our time. we're simply too close to it.]

#r & i have watched a bunch of operas together & i really like that he doesn't think about operatic storytelling as inherently ridiculous #i think it's hard with like. sonnambula. #but he does real character interpretation of lucia di lammermoor - which i have a lot of trouble taking seriously #and looks at the logic of the stories as stories #and idk. it's such a good approach. #it requires work for sure!! but it's worth doing #on reading

He was tired. […] He wanted to go home and lock his door and sleep. He was tired of the troubles of real people. He wanted to get back to the people he was inventing, whose troubles he could bear.

Diva of the Romantic Age

Despite passing away at 28, Maria Malibran was one of the best-known opera singers of the 19th century. Known for her range, power and flexibility of voice, Malibran could sing both contralto and soprano parts. She also had a stormy personality, which remained legendary long after her death. María Felicitas García Sitches, born on 24th March 1808, grew up in a Spanish musical family in Paris.…
