@pariahpress.bsky.social'A platform for cultural production' Nah, you're trying to flog product and make a profit on it, and if it's funded you're paying yourself a wage. We're in the realms of 'exposure' for actual artists, again. Endless
@pariahpress.bsky.socialIs the Nobel still taken seriously (the peace prize is a farce, obviously)? Disappointed that Carson hasn't just ignored it. Doris Lessing's reaction still sets the standard
@pariahpress.bsky.socialAntenne Books repping our republication of Michel Butor's Passing Time at their new shop-office-hideout in Bloomsbury.

@pariahpress.bsky.socialTime for our own Internal Inquiry
@pariahpress.bsky.socialLike nothing I'd read before, or since
@pariahpress.bsky.socialWell done @stuartlindenrhodes.bsky.social
Now showing at Tate Britain, as part of The 90s: Art & Fashion.
Beyond celebrating Stuart, the preview was alright. John Galliano's taller than I expected, platforms perhaps. Grayson Perry's a laugh.

@pariahpress.bsky.social300 million books, ffs
@pariahpress.bsky.socialSince it is #BannedBooksWeek, I'll let the IABF give some background on Anthony Burgess' struggles with religious zealotry and the confiscation of his library on Malta.... examined by us in 'Obscenity & the Arts' (2018).
@pariahpress.bsky.socialLooking forward to viewing @stuartlindenrhodes.bsky.social's work at Tate Britain on Tuesday (preview).

@stuartlindenrhodes.bsky.socialReposted by @pariahpress.bsky.socialA few places to pick my books
@pariahpress.bsky.socialFolks jumping at the chance to have their photo archive printed up as 300 zines, all images cropped to a formulaic template. Zero editorial standards beyond 300dpi. Hand in glove, the fame-hungry and the workshy
@pariahpress.bsky.socialAye, James Bond was a functioning alcoholic, psychopath and addict of conspicuous consumption. As a long term blueprint (psy-op) for men in the UK, it's undeniable
@pariahpress.bsky.socialYet another paperback edition of The King in Yellow. Absurd

@pariahpress.bsky.socialReposted by @pariahpress.bsky.socialWill Self on God's Fox.... "A world in which there's no parity of esteem, only a frightening disparity of depiction: the gaze is steady, and the focus precise but the faces remain ineffably indistinct. In our image-saturated era, only the insane are incapable of becoming the subject of... selfies."

@pariahpress.bsky.socialAlways a pleasure to be back at Henry Bohn Books, with the author Hamish Rush this time.
@pariahpress.bsky.socialGreat to see Penman cast an eye over Burgess' two volume autobiography (for us, his funniest work) and the excellent & overlooked Homage to Qwert Yuiop.
