"I am what I choose to become."
Tumblr media
Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic, considered a leading figure in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism. Sartre was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism.
Born: 21 June 1905, Paris, France
Died: 15 April 1980 (age 74 years), Paris, France
Existentialist Philosopher: Sartre is often regarded as the father of existentialist philosophy. He emphasized the individual's freedom and responsibility in creating their own essence and values. His most famous dictum, "Existence precedes essence," encapsulates the core idea that human existence is not predetermined and that individuals define themselves through their actions.
Prolific Writer: Sartre was a highly prolific writer and produced a vast body of work. Some of his notable philosophical works include "Being and Nothingness," "Existentialism is a Humanism," and "Critique of Dialectical Reason." In addition to philosophy, he wrote plays, novels, and essays, contributing significantly to literature and the arts.
Literary Achievements: Sartre was not only a philosopher but also a celebrated literary figure. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964, but he declined the award, stating that he always declined official honors. His literary works include plays like "No Exit" and "The Flies," as well as novels such as "Nausea" and "The Roads to Freedom" trilogy.
Political Engagement: Sartre was actively engaged in politics throughout his life. He aligned himself with leftist and Marxist ideologies and was involved in political activism. He criticized colonialism, supported anti-imperialist movements, and was a prominent figure in the French intellectual and political scene during the mid-20th century.
Life and Relationships: Sartre had a complex personal life. He had a lifelong romantic and intellectual partnership with Simone de Beauvoir, another influential existentialist philosopher and writer. Despite their deep connection, they maintained a non-traditional, open relationship. Sartre's experiences during World War II, including his time as a prisoner of war, also influenced his philosophical and political views.

me: hey kai, while youre too tired to actually write, you could do minor planning for that silly minecraft au fic your brain is stuck on. you could just come up with usernames and simple stuff.
also me: *creates controversy and backstories for background characters who might not even show up even if i wrote the fic*
also also me: *using my knowledge of spanish to read a wikipedia page in french about tigritude which is a concept created in 1962 by nigerian writer wole soyinka in response to a movement that i think was like affirming négritude, which is a framework of critique and literary theory developed in the 1930s and mostly used by francophones and african diaspora politicians, as an emancipatory concept for black people*
#personal#adhd#this is like full full adhd moments#i was looking for words relates to tiger#found a quote ''a tiger does not shout its tigritude it acts'' and was like what the fuck is tigritude#and the wikipedia is only a ailable in french#i dont speak french#i dont read french#i know like maybe 10 words in french#but i can read spanish and to a lesser extent speak it#so i have spent half an hour reading a wikipedia page in a language i dont speak about a concept reacting to something i know nothing about#i have not heard of négritude before#i imagine if id studied sociology in france i would have#but i studied it in england#but i still read this wiki#his critique i think is like the idea of it is shallow and doesnt address more pressing matters#theres also some dispute between the usefulness of it for anglophones vs francophones#and the difference in black experiences and their relationship to colonisation between anglophones and francophones#wole soyinka still put forth léopold sédar senghors name for the nobelprize for literature in 1970 despite léopold writing négritude pieces#so like idk enemies to lov-ahxkskskskskxkskd#if i translated it correctly aimé césaire who was one of the founders of négritude said it was a good pun#but that it actually showed like societal differences between generations as wole soyinka felt less need to assert his négritude#maybe? i think thats what it said#also i think maybe the quote was first said in a conference of african writers in kampala which i think is the capital of uganda#the website i found the quote on does not seem to have this context also which is fun sjdkdkdldksm#anyway thats enough rambling about my adventures in reading in languages i dont speak djfkskc#im much better at reading portuguese or romanian than french#or like catalan or vasco etc#the gap between spanish and french is a difficult one#i really should not be doing this much like the fatigue has been bad this week and i was meant to be reserving my energy

Kazuo Ishiguro's early life was a delicate dance between the traditions of Nagasaki, Japan, and the alluring pull of the Western world. Born to immigrant parents in 1954, the echoes of his cultural heritage resonated through the vibrant tapestry of Nagasaki's traditions. This early exposure to diverse customs and perspectives laid the groundwork for Ishiguro's later exploration of cultural nuances in his literary works. Growing up amid the fusion of Japanese and Western influences, Ishiguro developed a unique cultural lens. The traditional ceremonies and rituals of Nagasaki provided a sense of continuity, while the Western world represented a realm of exploration and adaptation. This dual cultural immersion became a crucible for Ishiguro's artistic identity, shaping his narrative voice and thematic choices in the realm of literature.
Educational Journey
In the late 1950s, Ishiguro's family embarked on a transformative journey, moving to the United Kingdom. Settling in Surrey, England, Ishiguro found himself navigating not only the academic corridors of his new home but also the intricate corridors of cultural integration. His educational journey became a bridge between two worlds, offering him a rich tapestry of experiences that would soon find expression in his writing. While attending Woking County Grammar School, Ishiguro's thirst for knowledge expanded beyond the classroom. The enchanting landscapes of Surrey became a backdrop for his intellectual explorations, laying the groundwork for his future literary endeavors. This period of cultural adaptation and academic growth would later inform the nuanced perspectives embedded in his novels.
Literary Beginnings
The spark of Ishiguro's literary journey ignited during his university days at the University of Kent. Studying creative writing and philosophy provided him with the tools to articulate the stories brewing within his creative mind. The vibrant literary scene at the university became a playground for experimentation, where Ishiguro started weaving the threads of narrative that would eventually define his unique storytelling style. His early attempts at writing were akin to a painter's first strokes on a canvas, capturing the raw essence of his imagination. This experimental phase was crucial for Ishiguro, laying the groundwork for the thematic elements and narrative techniques that would later distinguish his works. The initial struggles and triumphs during these formative years marked the birth of a literary craftsman.
Breakthrough with "The Remains of the Day"
The zenith of Ishiguro's literary ascent was marked by the publication of "The Remains of the Day" in 1989. This magnum opus, exploring the intricacies of duty, the fallibility of memory, and the layers of self-deception, was a literary triumph that reverberated far beyond the confines of traditional storytelling. The Booker Prize bestowed upon "The Remains of the Day" was not merely an accolade but a coronation of Ishiguro's narrative prowess. The novel's exploration of an English butler's life became a canvas where Ishiguro painted the subtle complexities of human existence. The international acclaim that followed elevated Ishiguro to the pantheon of literary greats, marking a turning point in his career and solidifying his position as a master storyteller. In retrospect, Ishiguro's early life and cultural influences, educational journey, and the milestones of his literary beginnings coalesce into a narrative mosaic.

Aspiring writers can glean valuable insights from Ishiguro's playbook, learning the craft of creating immersive experiences through a finely tuned writing style.
10 quotes by Kazuo Ishiguro:
- "Memory, I realize, can be an unreliable thing; often it is heavily coloured by the circumstances in which one remembers, and no doubt this applies to certain of the recollections I have gathered here." - "We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through, or feel we've had enough time." - "The evening's the best part of the day. You've done your day's work. Now you can put your feet up and enjoy it." - "It was like when you make a move in chess and just as you take your finger off the piece, you see the mistake you've made, and there's this panic because you don't know yet the scale of disaster you've left yourself open to." - "We thought we were young and that there would be time to love well sometime in the future. This is a terrible way to think. It is no way to live, to wait to love." - "I think of my pile of old paperbacks, their pages gone wobbly, like they'd once belonged to the sea." - "What is pertinent is the calmness of beauty, its sense of restraint. It is as though the land knows of its own beauty, its own greatness, and feels no need to shout it." - "You have to accept that sometimes that's how things happen in this world. People's opinions, their feelings, they go one way, then the other. It just so happens you grew up at a certain point in this process." - "Music brings a warm glow to my vision, thawing mind and muscle from their endless wintering." - "I am what I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I’ve ever had."

Listen in to the Ideas Podcast with Jed Rasula as he discusses the explosive impact, and enduring influence of T. S. Eliot’s modernist masterpiece The Waste Land.
Jed Rasula writes, “The Waste Land is not only a poem: it names an event, like a tornado or an earthquake. Its publication was a watershed, marking a before and after. It was a poem that unequivocally declared that the ancient art of poetry had become modern.”
In What the Thunder Said, Rasula tells the story of how The Waste Land changed poetry forever and how this cultural bombshell served as a harbinger of modernist revolution in all the arts, from abstraction in visual art to atonality in music.

“This is why I value that little phrase ‘I don’t know’ so highly. It’s small, but it flies on mighty wings. It expands our lives to include the spaces within us as well as those outer expanses in which our tiny Earth hangs suspended. If Isaac Newton had never said to himself ‘I don’t know’, the apples in his little orchard might have dropped to the ground like hailstones and at best he would have stooped to pick them up and gobble them with gusto. Had my compatriot Marie Sklodowska-Curie never said to herself ‘I don’t know’, she probably would have wound up teaching chemistry at some private high school for young ladies from good families, and would have ended her days performing this otherwise perfectly respectable job. But she kept on saying ‘I don’t know’, and these words led her, not just once but twice, to Stockholm, where restless, questing spirits are occasionally rewarded with the Nobel Prize.”
- Wislawa Szymborska on the importance of telling oneself “I don't know.”
In 1996, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature “for poetry that with ironic precision allows the historical and biological context to come to light in fragments of human reality.”

"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."
Tumblr media
Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer and journalist. Best known for an economical, understated style that significantly influenced later 20th-century writers, he is often romanticized for his adventurous lifestyle and outspoken and blunt public image. 
Born: 21 July 1899, Oak Park, Illinois, United States
Died: 2 July 1961 (age 61 years), Ketchum, Idaho, United States
War Veteran: Hemingway served as an ambulance driver in Italy during World War I. He was wounded in action, an experience that deeply influenced his writing, particularly his novel "A Farewell to Arms," which is partly based on his wartime experiences.
Literary Icon: Hemingway is considered one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. His minimalist writing style, characterized by short, declarative sentences and understated emotion, revolutionized modern literature. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954 for his "masterpieces" which "shimmer with a unique style."
Adventure and Travel: Hemingway was known for his adventurous spirit and love of travel. He often sought out dangerous or exotic locales for his writing and personal pursuits, such as bullfighting in Spain, big-game hunting in Africa, and fishing in Cuba. His experiences in these settings often found their way into his stories and novels.
The Old Man and the Sea: One of Hemingway's most famous works is the novella "The Old Man and the Sea," published in 1952. It tells the story of an ageing Cuban fisherman, Santiago, who engages in an epic struggle with a giant marlin far out at sea. The novella won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and contributed to Hemingway receiving the Nobel Prize.
Personal Life and Demise: Hemingway led a tumultuous personal life marked by marriages, divorces, and struggles with mental health. He was married four times and had three sons. Sadly, Hemingway also battled depression and alcoholism throughout his life. He tragically took his own life in 1961 at the age of 61, leaving behind a legacy of literary brilliance and enduring influence.

Nobel Prize 2022 in Literature Awarded To French Author Annie Ernaux
Tumblr media
The 2022 #NobelPrize in Literature is awarded to the French author Annie Ernaux for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory,” the official Twitter handle of The Nobel Prize said.
Annie Ernaux is known for her deceptively simple novels drawing on personal experience of class and gender, news agency AFP reported.
“French writer Annie Ernaux — awarded the 2022 #NobelPrize in Literature — was born in 1940 and grew up in the small town of Yvetot in Normandy, where her parents had a combined grocery store and cafe. Her path to authorship was long and arduous,” the tweet added.
The Nobel Prize laureate, in her writing consistently and from different angles examines a life marked by strong disparities regarding gender, language and class. She has written over 30 literary works.
In a statement, Ernaux said writing is a political act, opening our eyes to social inequality. For this purpose she uses language as “a knife”, as she calls it, to tear apart the veils of imagination.
With great courage and clinical acuity, Annie Ernaux reveals the agony of the experience of class, describing shame, humiliation, jealousy or inability to see who you are, she has achieved something admirable and enduring.
The Nobel Prize laureate Ernaux believes in the liberating force of writing. Her work is uncompromising and written in plain language, scraped clean.
And when she with great courage and clinical acuity reveals the agony of the experience of class, describing shame, humiliation, jealousy or inability to see who you are, she has achieved something admirable and enduring.
Last year, Tanzanian author Abdulrazak Gurnah won the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Born in 1948 and growing up on the island of Zanzibar, Gurnah has published ten novels and a number of short stories. The theme of the refugee’s disruption runs throughout his work. He began writing as a 21-year-old in English exile, and although Swahili was his first language, English became his literary tool.
