Tim: She saw me in Edinburgh in Alex Horne's show, do you know Alex Horne? Rob: Yeah. Tim: He invented Taskmaster. Rob: I know he did. Tim: Would you go on that? Rob: No. Tim: Why not? Rob: I don't fancy it. Tim: Not comfortable..... Rob: No. I love watching it. Just giving you an honest answer. But I would't want to do it. Tim: I don't actually love watching it. Rob: I don't know why they swear though. Tim: I suppose they're frustrated. Why do you swear? Rob: I don't really. Not in public. I said to Jimmy Carr once 'Why do they swear so much on Taskmaster?' and he said 'Well they have to because otherwise people will realise it's a childrens programme. Tim: Oh my God! Rob: He wasn't saying that in a critical way. Tim: Yes he was. Rob: No, no, he wasn't. Because if you think about it, to me that's a great plus that it's something it's really sharp and funny and edgy and creative and it's a great thing to watch with your kids. Tim: Alex doesn't swear. Rob: Er, no. Tim: No. He doesn't swear on stage. Rob: Good for him. Tim: He's terrible in the pub. Link This bit starts at 31.00

Books Read in March 2023

A Month in the Country by J.L. Carr

I liked but didn’t love this one and am a bit baffled tbh by its stellar reputation which includes a Booker nom and a movie. The book is about a man in his 20s who is a vet of the first world war who heads off to the country to restore a religious mural on the church wall. He meets and bonds with the usual cast of small town characters and finds himself emotionally better off at the end of it.

It was lovely but slight and I found myself wanting more. My favourite parts were the main character’s musings on the work he was uncovering and the artist himself and how they were communicating across time with one another.

The Beach by Alex Garland

I like Garland a lot as a filmmaker but I never read his debut novel. As part of my slow rolling effort to read books I own instead of just mindlessly accumulating them I gave this one a shot and liked it a lot. It’s about a young white British traveller who is obsessed with backpacking around and finding perfectly untouched Edens which (by force of his discovery) will eventually become trampled and gentrified. By chance he is left with a map and discovers the perfect beach but this doesn’t exactly go as planned.

This is pretty sly and clever and I liked it a lot. Garland manages to be subtly critical of his characters (who are re-enacting colonialism from a perspective of privilege basically) and shows how dysfunctional this group can be.

A nice snapshot of ‘90s travel culture as well. It simply doesn’t work like this anymore and it’s kind of funny to see how quickly travel has changed in only a quarter century or so.

The Annual Migration of Clouds by Premee Mohamed

This was a just okay novella about climate change dystopia. I could pretty much tell where it was going by reading it and it went there but the getting there was kind of fun. I thought it was nice and bold of Mohamed to leave so many unanswered questions but then I found out the book was getting a sequel which seemed kind of lame. Either leave it as a novella or make it one full length book. Breaking it into two just seems odd.

The Trees by Percival Everett

I think maybe Everett just isn’t a writer for me. The beginning of this bowled me over because he’s such a sharp, clever writer and I know juuuuust enough about American history to have been surprised by the twist about who the families at the centre of the mystery were but as the novel went on it sort of lost me. 

The book is a sort of whodunit thriller that gets a bit speculative. IDK there was something that just didn’t gel for me. I felt similar about Everett’s Too Much Blue which I read last year where I was impressed by the writing but not by what he was saying.  

The Passenger by Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz

This book gave me nightmares. Written and set just after kristalnacht it tells the story of a rich German Jewish man who basically finds himself travelling across Germany, unable to leave but unable to stay after the Nazis have mass arrested all Jewish men. The book was published in 1939 and what makes it even worse is that the audience knows what Boschwitz and the main character do not. That death camps and mass genocide are in the near future. 

Very short and simply written which adds to the devastation. The history is doing the heavy weight in this story and it’s heartbreaking. 

Heaven’s Breath by Lyall Watson

I’ve been reading this off and on since September which is yet another indication that non-fiction just maybe isn’t for me. I did like this book which is a natural history on wind. It’s not even very long and Watson is a beautiful writer who is clearly passionate about his subject matter. The problem is that there’s not really a narrative through line just lots of little random factoids. It’s a good book to slow read though and excellent for picking up and putting down. There are also like 300+ books referenced and I definitely want to check out some of those because they sound super interesting.

In the infamous Green Lantern #54, cover date August, 1994, Alex Dewitt was murdered by Major Force and her body crammed into a refrigerator. This issue prompted discussions and even a website discussing the trend of hurting, raping, maiming, and killing women as a simple plot device for male character arcs. These cases have become known as "WiF" ... Women in Fridgerators. ("Forced Entry", Green Lantern #54, Comic, Event)
