#OTD in 1981 – Bobby Sands begins his hunger strike at Long Kesh prison. 

The choice of the start date was significant because it marked the fifth anniversary of the ending of special category status (1 March 1976). The main aim of the new strike was to achieve the reintroduction of political status for Republican prisoners. Edward Daly, Catholic Bishop of Derry, criticised the decision to begin another hunger strike. Sands was to lead the hunger strike but it was…

Famed Picasso biographer and art historian Sir John Richardson opens the doors of residences from his life, revealing an autobiographical sketch through handsomely decorated rooms filled with art, antiques, and intriguing mementoes, each with a special story.

John Richardson's Bohemian Aristocrat interiors are, and have been throughout his life, filled with fine English and American antiques; interesting textiles; works of art by friends, legendary artists Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Lucian Freud, Andy Warhol, and Robert Mapplethorpe; vivid color combinations; and objects that prompt stories from a well-lived life. From London and the stately buildings of Stowe School, in the idyllic Buckinghamshire countryside, to the south of France, New York City, and the Connecticut countryside, Richardson shares the story of his life through places, objects, and people--a form of autobiography, gloriously illustrated, entertainingly told. In stories about his residences in the south of France (at the Château de Castille with celebrated art historian and collector Douglas Cooper), London (a set of rooms at the famed Albany apartment house), and the United States (glamorous New York City apartments and a country retreat in Connecticut), Richardson reveals his life through a mélange of interesting places, mementoes, works of art, furnishings that prompt stories, and an endlessly fascinating assortment of friends and acquaintances--Fernand Léger, Lady Diana Cooper, Fran Lebowitz, and Oscar and Annette de la Renta, to name a few. Essential reading for those interested in twentieth-century art and social history, grandly livable interiors, and the good life.

Haughton Hall, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England By David Cholmondeley and Andrew Moore Principal photography by Derry Moore

[thenightlymirror]

Stephen King exhaustively goes into every conceivable idea of who The Other might be in mid-80's society. He begins humbly with completing the system of German Idealism and talking about the Ground. Gets right into those chthonic gods of the unconscious and the most fundamental Id. And it's just the smell of a basement, the poetic ineffable fear. Then he brings it to the level of society. Derry has lynched a gay man. He starts with queer character as an androgynous clown, and then goes into the history of the town's gay bar, the couple before the murder. Flips it over. Humanizes them.

Whether or not King is a homophobe sort of depends on where you are in the book. It just occurred to me that the empathetic scenes about Adrian Mellon could have been written as an afterthought and placed in the beginning to offset the rest. Imagine It without that murder. You have the bum harassing Eddie for a blow job. Stan unable to climax, unable to father a child. You have the most psychopathic, disturbing character in the entire book: Patrick Hockstetter, who one-up's the previously most-evil character by asking to blow him. What else would the most evil child in Derry want to do? And then there is the revelation that Pennywise the Clown is a woman. Which is a twist, how?

There is a kind of point to that twist. Unrelated to the homophobia.

I feel like the more information we get about Pennywise, the more abstract the character actually becomes. I kept thinking about the (awful) interventions of birds over and over again in the book, and I had the strange thought, "What if birds were all really aliens that flew here from somewhere else? We see them as conventional animals, but they're from beyond." And wondered if these were the first clues that Pennywise was an alien.

100% Correct.

First, there is It the Underneath. And then there is The Transcendental It. And they are the same Other.

See, there is a great thing that King does, where there are a few purely intuitive leaps toward the climax of the book. First, they build a smoke hole and draw blue matchsticks to see who has to guard the bunker. The burnt matchstick disappears, and Beverly goes in with the rest of the boys. When Richie and Mike are cheeching the bunker, they go back in time to the Ago, which anyone who has been catastrophically stoned and found themselves with the profound feeling of being back in personally-ancient time understands. When they see It's spaceship, it's described as being like a burning match head with electricity and blue bullwhips coming out of it.

The burnt blue matchstick disappeared, went back in time, and fell out of the sky as It's interstellar ark.

Does that make sense? No, but it's suggested.

Also, after the Ritual of Chud and the description of (the dead lights) and the boundary of the cosmos made out of an infinity of imaginary stakes manifested by eons of impossible children fighting impossible vampires, in the unmentionable scene which is also the whole point of the book, does Beverly get pregnant? No. It gets pregnant. And who has to kill the babies? Ben. But. What's one of the main coincidences between all the Losers? They didn't have kids. But they did. That's all on purpose. They got It pregnant.

I have no idea what this means.

In the unmentionable scene, sex is described as the absolute negation of (the dead lights). "They break through into the lifelight together." The tunnel to It becomes the wormhole connection between the innermost, hitting the back walls of the outermost. So to speak.

It's possible that Stephen King is just accidentally inventing dialectics while trying to describe some kind of Yin and Yang of the imagination. Like when in interviews he references Marianne Moore's description of poetry as "imaginary gardens with real toads in them". He's both using this as a rule of thumb for how to write horror sincerely, powerfully, insightfully, but it's also a meditation on imagination itself. Horror and utopian joy mirror each other strangely.

It occurs to me that bird is also a stupid slang word for girl, and the implication might also be that Beverly is herself an avatar of It. But I want to make it clear I hate this theory and it annoys me that I thought of it.

I love Ben. I strongly identified with him when I saw the made for TV movie as a kid. His character gets totally sidelined towards the end. Stan gets sidelined for the entire fucking book. Mike is there and isolated from the group almost the entire story, but I suppose in mirroring ways.

It could be a really cool book entirely about the horror of racism in America. It practically is. And it is COMPLETELY insane that every adaptation of the book so far has just decided to forego all of that, all of Mike, the whole deepest point of It, the middle points, where society is It. The amazing chapter that introduces the adult Beverly through her abusive husband's eyes and she is It. The terrifying chapter about Stan and his wife, where her body is It.

The wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails, presents itself as “an immense accumulation of It's."

I think the strange empty romance of Bill and Bev, which is dumped for no reason at the end so she and Ben can be happy ever after, is also on purpose. There were the mere agents of cosmic designs, and they served their purpose. So suck it up.

I've barely mentioned Eddie or Richie. Eddie's scene where he confronts his mother is at that second apex of the book where there's a bunch of great chapters. Richie is so fucking annoying haha. Does racism have to save the day every time? He is also the only character that seems to have been influenced at all by the counterculture of the 60's.

King said that the inspiration for the story was walking over a bridge, and imagining the troll underneath from Billy Goats Gruff. King imagines memory as a precarious bridge between adulthood and the land of childhood/the past. We don't see under that bridge at all, to the 60's and 70's, except through Richie's rock and roll, suggestions of college radicalism. The hallucinations of It have a deep shadow, which is any familiarity with alternatives to established society. That might just be Stephen King. But there's the murdered union men. The "commies" mentioned by Georgie in the first chapter. Bev's feminist friend. I guess the focus on Blacks in the 20's and gays in the 80's is sort of more illuminating that the usual weight given to white navel-gazing in the 60's and 70's.

But the main aim of the book seems to be a classic modernist one. It's about memory. It's about the powerful presence of forgetting, especially. Forgetting has a spooky omnipresence in life, ordinary life, American life. You really can't address it honestly without addressing it's unconscious. Which is why so much of the book resonates, despite not being able to tell exactly why.

before ever hearing ”the Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald” I had listened to Christy Moore’s interpolation ”back Home in Derry” approximately a million times. I do also like the original song, but I prefer the Moore version on pretty much all fronts.

I know a lot of it might be a spoiler but I’m very curious can you share something about James and Erin’s partners since you’ve mentioned some of them?

as you've surmised, lot of it is spoiler material so i won’t get too in depth, but i’ll share some about the partners i’ve already mentioned in someday and in this one little ficlet!

so far i’ve mentioned two partners for james (faye and miles) and one partner for erin (liam). 

-faye is james’s first gf after the end of smoke break. he’s not looking to meet anyone, his head’s still pretty wrapped up in what went down in smoke break, but they are in the same class together and after being assigned to work together on a project, they start to spend time together. and faye is cool. faye is like, really cool. she drums. she’s from northwest england (think blackpool area) and is a fashion student – wants to be a costume designer – and james is in the film program. they’re both in comms/media studies which is why their paths cross. faye comes around at the right time for james – she’s validating and chill and unthreatened which makes it easy for him to open up about where his head’s at and what went down to put his head there. by the time christmas comes around, they’re basically together. they date through university, at which time it mostly just makes the most sense for their lives to break up – they’ll both be immersed in their careers and living very far away from each other the whole time. they remain lifelong friends, which works out great – james gets to be happy for two of his friends when clare and faye start dating, a few years on. i won’t get in to it too much here, but erin does not like faye, which is why she is sort of baffled when everyone else loves her. faye is english, too, erin will remind michelle. “yeah, but she’s not the prick kind of english, so.”

-miles: is james’s hot australian ex-bf. they date for around a year and meet on a shoot. miles sort of looks like patrick swayze – one of james’s favorite films is ghost and he figured out sometime in young adulthood that it’s not only because it’s a classic film, but he’s sort of into both demi moore and patrick swayze – which kind of makes for an instant crush. miles is delighted by james’s irish childhood friends – they’re hilarious and really commit to their bits. specifically michelle and erin’s bit about finding miles swoon-worthy (spoiler: it’s not really a bit). no one’s really sure how james pulled miles? that will forever remain a mystery, but they sure are happy to have miles around when they can.

it’s james’s thing to remain friends with his exes at this point. part of it is industry networking, but most of it is because he just really loves the people that become important parts of his life. he travels a lot, working in documentary film, and these relationships (friendship and otherwise) are grounding. he doesn’t let go of them easily even if he is moving on romantically. and it serves him extra well when he needs a couch to crash on.

-liam: that brings us to liam, erin’s ex and mostly her only real ex bf. erin also meets liam shortly after the events of smoke break. they’re in a creative writing class together at uni – liam is a poet. liam is just, simply put, nice. he’s an incredibly talented writer, he’s irish, he’s from belfast, he’s cute, he’s thoughtful. it’s everything that erin would have wanted in a partner, really. it all makes sense on paper. liam sort of pursues erin at first, and she appreciates the attention, but she’s sort of counting down until christmas when she knows she’s going to see her friends again (all of them) in derry and doesn’t take liam seriously. she goes back to belfast earlier than she had originally intended – things didn’t go how she hoped they would over christmas – and kisses liam at midnight on NYE. it’s like a story, all of this. and she falls pretty hard once she lets herself get all in. but she never quite feels right, the longer they’re together. the first time liam brings up marriage, about two years in, erin wants to change the subject. she likes the idea of it, but when she really starts to think about logistics…well, she’d just rather not think about it. they date for four years – all through uni and then a year beyond. they break up shortly after erin’s first big break: she writes a play that gets staged, professionally. there was just something about seeing a story inspired by her life play out night after night that made her reconsider her priorities. long story short: liam and erin do not remain friends.
