A message from Sean O'Casey to all Newcastle fans

Don't tell me - he's Irish, right?

 

 

He was one of the 20th century's most prominent dramatists; I just think the quotation was apposite considering the situation at Newcastle United.

 

Many people use quotations from poems, plays or song lyrics, sometimes unwittingly, to illustrate and illuminate a particular situation; I just used this one.

To be fair to the lad, I've never heard of him.

 

 

Well not everyone's had as much of a classical education as I have, obviously enough.

 

I like to think I can bring a bit of culture to the board.

 

Being one of the advanced section of NUFC support (I don't go to the games for a start), I've obviously been selected to act as one of the vanguard to represent you all, which is why I'm going to the Monday meeting on your behalf.

 

(DO I NEED TO SAY THIS POINT IS IRONIC OR CAN PEOPLE WORK THAT OUT?)

I was quoting one of the foremost thinkers of our time there, for the record.

Btw, I noticed on your blog that you're a fan of Bukowski.

Yeah; C20 US Lit is my specialist area.

 

Did my Masters in it.

 

Bukowski just falls behind James Ellroy for me now

Ellroy is ok but he's not close to Bukowski, for me. I prefer Dashiell Hammett to Ellroy fwiw.

I asked my tutor about Miller and his comment was "I don't believe him."

 

Rosy Crucifixion is fabulous stuff, but for the real hilarious Miller in extremis "Opus Pistorum" can't be beaten.

 

If you can find the bio "My Friend Henry Miller" by Alfred Pearles that's a hoot as well.

Read one Miller you've read them all tbh. Canny tedious after you realise 50 pages in he's just going to keep going on about prossies pissing in his bidet. I prefer Anais Nin (who fucked him for a while) if we're talking high brow filth.

why? don't you feel that other people's opinions are illuminating?

 

in the study of literature, critical thought is crucial.

No.

 

If we're talking about my universal self: I have axially and scalarly aligned myself to a deep level of the dance over large scale human time on that one.
