Iritis

Saturday, 6 February 2010 8:30 P GMT+01
  Iritis is a rare, mysterious and potentially serious eye condition. I’ve suffered from iritis intermittently since 1973 – in either eye, but mainly the left. Thanks goodness, so far, never in both eyes at once! I have had it i

Dawn's Game

Wednesday, 3 February 2010 6:11 P GMT+01
In the old days, each day was indeed so old it could not recall anything with its failing memory. The people who lived during those old days – like me – tried to help each day as it dawned by calling up for it our own memories that we bel

BLOODY BAUDELAIRE

by R. B. Russell

(Ex Occidente Press 2009)

 

This is a stunning novella I've just been compelled to read in one sitting - compelled by a fear of its words changing before I got to them.  It starts as a country house shenanigan where young people might say in a different book: "Anyone, for Tennis?" 

Not that famous Monty Python sketch, well, maybe it is, in a sense. 

 No, it is something seriously decadent  and Dorian Gray and Stephen Poliakoff and pre-Raphaelite ... with Elizabeth-Bowen-esque nihilism of a fractured soul.  The Tabula Rasa of love ... and a rite of torture that unfolds so slowly in such a quick book, one is driven along by it.  This whole force of onward fiction has a very clever ending.  I believed every word. 

I felt I wrote it.  The book itself - as a physical object - struck me as one of those old French books whose pages you needed to uncut.  But someone had done it already.

Very well done indeed. In two Acts.
