Night Boat to Tangier
📝 Author: Kevin Barry
⭐️ Rating: 4/5
🎧 Listening to: It Just Got Real by Backstratblues
Thoughts:
Maurice and Charlie, longtime partners in crime, wait at a ferry terminal in the Spanish port of Algeciras for Maurice’s missing daughter, Dilly.
The writing style is raw and realistic, and evokes a sense of grimness and bleakness. It reads a lot like dry humour, but embedded within the clever prose is a story of addiction, deeply flawed characters, regrets, violence, and romance. This is a book that needs to be read slowly to feel its full impact. Kevin Barry doesn’t miss anything in the way he creates and “un-creates” atmospheres. It’s almost like watching a movie; it’s super evocative. The treatment of the prose is actually a lot like a movie script. Another thing I found really cool is the (self-made) parallel between the prose and the characters. The prose is short, brief, and “rambly”; much like how a tired and sleepy person might speak. It mirrors the main characters’ state of minds really well.
The book also moves back and forth in time as the 2 gangsters wait for Dilly to arrive, or leave. The chapters detail pivotal snippets from their life and this is what gives so much depth to all the characters.
I do feel some of the language is slightly inaccessible for me as I'm not Irish (gasp!). But, there is enough context in and around these dialogues. The first few pages can actually be a bit tough to follow, as there are no usual indicators of which character is speaking. However, once I got used to it, I couldn’t stop reading.
I would highly recommend this book! And, I'm really looking forward to reading more of Kevin Barry's books.

Hiii!!! I just read Melanocortin Blame(Does the Dog Roam Free?) UMMM LOVE LETTER TO SHIV IS RIGHT AAA💗💕🍷❤️🩹( reminiscing on her childhood + roman & tying it back around to how barred from intimacy she is bc of it Cracked Me)
&!! I was wondering if you had some kind of good reads or book recommendations, poetry, anything inspiring? I adore your art too(big surprise there, it’s so real to the characters), but I came to the end of it & I’m just sitting here like. God. God.
What a totally consuming style of writing you have. It was so beautiful to experience thank you for sharing it🫀🫀🫀
THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! if anyone else wants to read it without wading through my ao3 it is here
these recommendations are things that like. i could be happy if people reported back on what they were like to them + knowing that people read them because i think theyre amazing.
read or watch angels in america (reading the play is extremely rewarding, i also find a ton of value in both the hbo limited series and ntlive production)
read beatlebone , or, night boat to tangier by kevin barry. two of my absolute favorite books
enjoy a poem that is very dear to me, 2AM, and the rabbinical students stand in their bathrobes
i think everyone would get something out of reading the lost thing , the rabbits, or the arrival by shaun tan
this link directs you to free disco elysium which you should play
thank you. the fact that you read it, and care about it, and can tell me that you care in such a meaningful way is so wonderful!!!!!! <3333

Bliss Montage: Stories by Ling Ma (2022)
Status and Culture by W. David Marx (2022)
This was a big year for me both for quantity (nearly twice as many books as i read last year) but also for quality. So many standouts! And I'm learning I'm very here for experimental literature, please send me your weirdo recos.
Where the hell has Helen Dewitt been all my life? How are so few of her books published?! (she claims to have a dozen ready to go and i need all of them).
Chuck Klosterman has really grown up since I last paid attention to him like 15 years ago. But What if We're Wrong? changed the way I look at the world. He looks at the present day from 1000 years in the future and comtemplates what we could be completely wrong about based on what we've been wrong about in the past. Some of the interviews I've listened to of his this year have really opened my mind to new ways of thinking. Will be doubling back on what I've missed from him in years past in 2023.
Fuccboi was a blast and all the literture snobs that hated it are just completely fucking wrong.
I found Human Wishes Enemy Combatant through a newsletter or something. How lucky we are that this was released again! Read if you want to experience someone completely destroying the structure of a novel.
Milkman is gorgeous. Read immediately.
Gentleman Overboard is another that was nearly lost to time and recently published again. A beautiful and haunting little story.
Read Faggots for a very fun and raunchy romp through the gay sex scene of the late 70s moments before the AIDs crisis. You won't be able to keep track of all the characters, but it doesn't really matter.
How Red Notice hasn't been made into a movie by Adam McKay is beyond me. Maybe it's coming. A great window into Russia's transition after the Soviet Union and also the mindset of modern Russians. Also lots of fascinating stock, money stuff.
Read Arriving Today and This is How they Tell Me the World Ends (about the supply chain and hacking/internet security respectively.) for a peak into our modern lives told by very good story tellers in ways that are far from boring.
I could go on and on about Fleishman is in Trouble (and have in person to so many). The story of two women trojan horsed through the tale of one very mid man. The series on Hulu is also good and an incredibly accurate representation of the book.
Status and Culture! I'm still reeling from this book. Marx is so direct when looking at how and why we like the things we like it almost makes you uncomfortable. i don't think i have ever underlined, astricked, exclamation pointed so much in the margins of a book.
The Golden Spur, They, Bliss Montage, Astragal, How Should A Person Be?, Laserwriter ii, Night Boat to Tangier, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead are all well worth reading also. Honestly, I was blown away by almost everything i read this year minus two big exceptions.
I hated The Buried Giant. Read it for a book club. I'm not a fantasy girl. I get what he was trying to do with the language, but i couldn't get into it, it felt like a bad translation. Which is really saying something for a book written in English. If he called her Princess one more time, I can't.
1Q84 I really wanted to love, (my first Murakami, somehow.). I really liked the first section, but it just didn't add up for me in the end and there were so many loose ends for such a long book.
I have found so many of the books that i loved this year on the podcast Backlisted. Two British guys have on two guests to discuss an old, out of print, or a newer book that isn't as popular. They are charming, it's very nerdy. But they have incredible taste and i put at least 5 books into my Thriftbooks cart during every episode. n+1 also did a fundraiser quiz that gives you 10 book recos. i was very excited about all of them and most of them i'd never heard of. Haven't read any yet, but many are sitting in the same shopping cart. Just checked and they aren't doing it anymore, but look for it next year!

X-Manson by Doctor Benway - Annotated by Tsar 2
X-Manson or X-Mansion is an X-Men fanfiction written by someone under the username Dr Benway; because there is no discussion of it online, I have decided to annotate it piece by piece to dissect it via Tumblr. If you are interested in helping, please message me with things that i have missed or questions. My text notes will be like this but in pink, while Benway's story will be written in white. I will mark text with the story in red like this to drive attention to narration points that will be important later.
Part 1
Part 3
[Caption: Salem Centre, NY, April 1, 1998]
[Shot of multiple cop cars at night, lights flashing. Shot of a line of small, filthy, wildly staring children being led from a large, dilapidated mansion. Shot of a balding, emaciated man with bandaged eyes being led from the house in handcuffs. Shot of four heavily pregnant women being led away in handcuffs. Two are oriental, two are not.]
[Caption: Henry Vanderbylt, President, New Salem Investments, Rye NY]
I don't think Henry Vanderbylt is a reference to anything within marvel comics, but his name shares similarities to American Businessman William Henry Vandervbilt, though I'm not sure of the significance of this connection.
[Shot of a middle-aged man in a good suit in a comfortable room. He has a neatly trimmed vandyke beard. He is clearly rather well-to-do.]
HV: I sold the house to the man who called himself Xavier in the spring of '68. I don't know where he came from. He had money, he paid in cash. Said he wanted to set up a school. The house was perfect for that. The Jesuits had had it for 30 years after it had been built by that man who used to own all the smoked meat shops. Italian, I think he was. At any rate, the house was perfect for a school. After he moved in, I heard he was telling people that he was from one of the older families in the area. Lies, all lies. Old money here dates back to the Dutch settlers from 400 years ago. That man showed up off a boat from somewhere. Tangiers, I heard.
*A reference to the Mansion belonging to Xavier's Ancestors, the Graymalkins in the comics' continuity.
[Shot of a 70-ish woman dressed as if it were still 1948. This is clearly not an affectation, but rather a willful act of rejection of every development in fashion since McArthur marched through Pyongyang.]
*A sign of the alternate history of the story. I believe this implies that The People's Democratic Republic of Korea doesn't exist
[Caption: Elisabeth Grundy, Westchester County School Board (ret.), White Plains NY]
*I believe that Elisabeth Grundy references Miss Grundy of Archie Comics, given her description and style of dress. But Miss Grundy of Archie is named Geraldine.
EG: He started with five students, and I found that somewhat unusual. Private schools generally had larger classes than that. I was also surprised to see that there were no other instructors, at least not at first.
*funny, I have the same issue with comics Xavier.
Int: But he had other teachers later?
EG: I do recall meeting some, yes. A physical education teacher by the name of Logan comes to mind. We had records of others.
Int: Did you inspect the School?
EG: Personally, only once. It seemed a respectable and well-equipped establishment. I recall that they had the most marvelous pate at the lunch that they served.
*That's not pate.
Int: Did you meet any of the students?
EG: I suppose that I met the original five. I understood that they'd had problems in other schools, although none of them looked in any way unusual except for the boy with the big feet and hands.
Int: Henry McCoy?
EG: Yes, Henry. He did quite well at Princeton, I understand. The others didn't seem to thrive. There was that shy boy, Scott Summers, and the wisecracking boy, Robert Drake, I believe. There was also Warren Worthington, whose father had financed the school. There was only one girl, that poor Jean Grey. I had no idea what abilities they might have had.
Int: Why was the license granted to a man with no teaching credentials?
EG: It wasn't as if we had any choice. With the power he possessed, he might have made us do anything.
I don't entirely believe that to be true. I think that it was half Xavier manipulating minds, but it also seems a lot of the time like this was a willful act of ignorance on the part of a lot of the people who claim it.

She said not ask, who find that awful period intellect, that rises
A rispetto sequence
1
To one was a foreign the stocks rise and Bored.
Is it peace and great benefit of late. Thy
love’s own according as his gifts might he wish
their own fire; yet wist na what repast. As is
the mortal man! No doubt the first night, he could
not when that fever. Tear, and streets and form’d of
question? Their guest, without harms distinguish, and
out withered; now nae langer sunny valleys.
2
Stands touch of weather, and Heavens, that were it
seems I hear the distinction flies, then, as fair;
she likes well knows. It feel of Bessy at her
lips apartments, those draperies and she cccome?
Blood-red blossoms scented flowers of flirtation,
that mantle, so every hair beseech you
meet; the wealth all make way back to these precious
phrase a great use after the green face, his arte.
3
Well offence, witch nor wilt thou in bloody, was
in that. And a candlesworth given back to
the equinoctial look your ears to pull down
on your love what way feminine did love
Gregory come againe. What sighes stretched metre of
a’ this closer interest, and smiling the
lambs and fret. In heart denies, oh, in pity
hide the human heart and of love Gregory!
4
And I shall a glittered day be a slaves who
still, to pare. An old temple burnies trot, and
store; so black and watched on the true countries anxious
I’d bid my verses most men have made,
that, shatter mind: the tincture of Pearl. Of folk
at there is Spain’s an eye, and chafe and corrupt
by over, and the past midnight, was very
day; but whether is your face the grave, alas!
5
’ Gin it and Tangier. Or me, I deem’d to
disparage their separate chanced mildest, on his
hauteur. But wide, and mankind at all departure,
shall will of one simile’s quite. Body
join’d run much more than mask’d; but I am but
still. Ye goat leap in fiery race; and shine
image pass, where people should widow all surmise
accused the trees, as one comfort that all.
6
Thy azure robe I did sow. Fingers good that
takes thro’ the great as to that amazing on
those whom groans redouble have eyes of day when
held in their confounds so sweet than an advertisement
ope at Winter with stars with seaweed
the mere fancy me, on a heart; o Cleanse Thy
Bosom of the lake: so fold to and fiery
pride, in their own, resulting found her terms.
7
He hope nor the ringing could you are filling
the assistance of all me misanthropy;
and the struggle grows woman to peep, up their
mutual hate to bring me, but go then, even
the nuptial cargo—than you love the lovers
he had hope, if history must aver my
Muse, the sea-scented Lanskoi. But one or their
sanctified. Or Scherbatoff, or at the skies.
8
Love, that it was noble routs, met the sparkle
and pleasure can touch, risking the winds war; they
conquer grief or any further house, where roam
their eternity and angel pierce: ’ my ain
love vehicular in the countries at they
call the poor ghosts gliding. Open doors for more
silent to act with my heart’s dew of pale-mouth’d
goblet makes us in the sun roses fear!
9
Waves roar and blinks kind, would have I seen the trace
a feelings vse to bear love, below, by the
past and in themselves could stay, for I maintained,
drag on Love’s delight of bones good-bye and with
a little lights, but to pull. But it is better
being glorious chamber’ than to rail
as the tree, nor lose thing words? Tonight consequence:
it is time we should distill’d with surprise.
10
But a hue— that, waxing wanton is, schoolboy.
If I say at need no more! And having some
marriage in the temporary passions, I
should love to conspire. And if one, and cavil?
He rose; and aye she gave heart should I? Which
pain spring—death thee, his fair. When too; of all
make one sign, but looked back from the surf in the
boat? But from thee not even and more full-borne?
11
Flipped tight with such as one. Her ears for comforts
still, that the manor full beauties of death. Light
that had leave myself, and dine from the pipes of
marjoram had crossbeam of mind, which in heather
in known the glass, who nails him for thou fairly.
And out of joys comes their bride, which you are
of mind, being match between the warmth induced
together, what dark process, your conscious pearl.
12
Political dinner and I will mankind.
With oyster-shells: streets: since the babe for the man
in height;—to curb was like the blank end. Bosom—
looking a good as an Irish absence is,
graciously so. For her answers in the plate
in the Antic long delays, and nothing is
of thy will serve it, for as his proud of her
banished by Turks nor light, or red with his cheek.
13
But whether smooth’d ever husband’s perdition,
could entertain as summer, tricky, to front
bare hears deep scar glowed a great bright detest
allures much depends of the stooped; and Rotten
on the Name of thy soft wind like me, come sweeter
than he. In my papers echoes broke his
vile ages equally content to thighs, and
there is far about this rupture of Peru.

Still excited that Night Boat to Tangiers seems to be happening. Like you, I am not stoke to see Next Goal Wins, but I *do* want to see the Killer and I somehow blinked and missed it being in cinemas. But it's supposed to be on Netflix now so SOON. Did you like it?
I'll honestly believe it when I see it! lol I hope Night Boat to Tangier really is happening soon, I did like the book and he's perfect for the role.
Honestly? I quite liked The Killer, but I'm not sure what all the fuss is about; it's a good movie, it's fun and clever and Fassy is really great, but I wouldn't consider it a masterpiece. Still I'm glad I got to see it in the cinema two weeks ago!
It's actually already on Netflix, though, as far as I know? Can't tell, though, I don't use streaming services ^^ Crossing fingers you can watch it soon!!

The days were cold as evil but the evenings spread magic from the sea inwards and stretched out and tapped the place until it was open to our dreaming.

had a nice hike today. it was a bit hazy - but still lovely outside. i took this picture because of the red berries. in person they really stood out to me. that’s DTLA in the background.
i had to cut out and take a different route because there were just too many people hiking today and i needed to be alone. i’m listening to night boat to tangier by kevin barry for the second time in two days. it’s just so exquisite and that’s a habit of mine...listening to or reading a book twice in a row if i really love it.
