Hey All... just a little note to let you know that there'll be a few more days before the next post arrives. At the moment I'm working on a long awaited text for my other site and that has taken priority over everything else. I'm three pages in and will hopefully post on Thursday.If Friday doesn't find me dead or something worse, a post will follow here shortly after. From then on in it should be uniterrupted sailing for the rest of the series which I'll write to a conclusion leading up to the NewYear. The little break also gives me the opportunity to reflect and think over the second half of these writings and make sure the texts don't become lost in themselves, that they finally add up to something more worthwhile than any individual post. If not all becomes lost and a waste of time, because these lives I relate were not lived and died for entertainment value... there was something much more bleak and tragic behind them, soething much more lost than taking a bad turn or drinking a glass too much.
Thanks for staying with me...
My Mother's Sex Life #11: Fat Alan....
to follow soon...
Looking forward to your next posts, don't die, bises.
ReplyDeleteI thought you’d been away a while and here it was me.
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd subscribed to this one and was surprised there weren't any new posts in email for so long. Anyway I have now subscribed – Word verification: disseses !
So I've just read through 3-10. Like watching a depraved Boxed Set...
Love the new (to me) background thing. Amazing colours.
Here's some lines I noted on the way:
I was glad it was him tonight.
(Powerful in context)
Between their four eyes at least one was always black
I suppose they were damned, together, caught in a wicked hall of mirrors.
Now she smoked and drank to die, not as a rebellious act of living.
He had kinda stripped all the fat off living and was down to economizing with the bare bones.
Was it intentional to have the Pat story before the Tommy story? IE out of chronological order.
Leaving one sibling for another of a different sex may be quite common – I mean most adultery is committed with those closest – your best friend's wife/girlfriend/parent/child – Joe Kennedy used to regularly screw his sons' girlfriends. Probably some power trip/age thing.
And of course most sex abuse takes place within the warm cosy normal Nuclear Family.
Julie Burchill, the NME journalist (I still prefer to think of her as the punk lefty journo rather than the right wing Thatcherite she became) left her girlfriend Charlotte Raven for Charlotte's brother Daniel, whom she later married.
I think I've fallen in love with their names...
I still haven't caught up with the whole series! I'm savouring each story. There's a lot condensced into every sentence and a lot left unsaid which always sends me to a strange and contemplative place.
ReplyDeleteI'm also loving the design of this little offshoot, the colours and the collages really pull everything together in a smudged, dirty sort of way. I'll email you later tonight, need to get those pictures off my camera!
