NORMAN MAILER'S EGYPTIAN NOVEL - The New York Times

An absolutely scathing review of Ancient Evenings" by Norman Mailer. published in 1983. when I saw @davidhudson 's post and birthday mention the memory of this novel came flooding back with its sexual overtones and the juxtaposition of gritty violence and spiritual connection. We should all thank Mr. Hudson for this invaluable resource he provides. without him we would forget everyone's birthday. He deserves a Tumblr Grammy award all his own.

I truly remember the character as honey pot but my memory has suffered too many chariot battles. I will seek that tag and correct it. One passing note, I read this book in high school. I checked it out of our school library. I distinctly remember, chariot battles be damned, I was excited to read it. Ancient Egypt being a pet love of mine. I started the book in class and quickly engrossed myself on the way home on the bus ride. I was last stop which all rural kids should relate to. my bus driver, a wonderfully powerful man, would let me smoke after all the nits were gone. I digress, it was on this ride when I hit the first gay blow job, forced by ramses onto the hero. "....and ramses cock was in his mouth." This was my introduction to mailer. and I did look up from my book to driver, book to driver a few lurid times. after that my bus driver was now ramses in my phantasm world. He never knew that, of course. Pity really. I'm sometimes reminded of him when I watch "Mars Attacks". Pharaoh in a bus. (what a weird fantasy) Funny to be reminded of it today. (he really missed out)

Then after diving headlong into the book my heart lept to honey balls defense. why I remember her as honey pot I dunno. but I reread this book a few times lol. on the library card there was my name, my name, a girl, my name, my name, lol, that was me outing myself and not realizing it. I look back and think I am damn glad I had access to this book. It was pretty cool my school had this in '85 no less. That's why libraries and books are so important. Especially school libraries. This was validation for me. I wasn't an alien because I was bi and those finds were great. Another fine book like this hidden on my school library shelves was a science fiction novel "Dhalgren" by Samuel R. Delany. but that's another post. I recommend it. It scored high on my bi chart and again it was hidden on a shelf and passed over by the white bread majority, making it a good find indeed, but again thats another post. My point is these books helped me along the way. they didn't entice me or 'lead me from the path of righteousness' lol. No, they were quiet affirmations of what was already a tumultuous storm inside me, letting me know that what I was experiencing wasn't new or unknown. someone else, somewhere, knew just how I felt. I was not a creature that needed to hide.

That's why they want to take these books away too. To rob kids like us of that affirmation. we tend to think that those who want to ban books must be less intelligent than ourselves, when in reality, they are very calculating and very driven to do harm and isolate those they deem worthy of isolation. I wonder if any school shelves still dare to carry these gems. I commend my rural high school on Maryland's eastern shore for its courage in 1985. They were banning books way back then too. reagan was at the helm and they were shooting bibles at us with canons. That's when Frank Zappa and Dee Snider went to bat for us in congress. look that shit up. Dee is saying terfy shit now so I cringe to mention him but he did do that shit back then. maybe he will wake up again. We can hope. Anyway, it spurred my thought and I stand corrected on my oldtimmer's brain induced mistake, but I did remember who I fell in love with in that novel and it wasn't ramses cock. it was honey pot or honey balls. that girl got mistreated in the old world. I wanted to save her. Again an important lesson about misogyny that would be lost on a young man's ears. The very ears it should reach. If we ban every book with those lessons and replace them with 3,000 year old concepts its no wonder we get the fucked up world we have today.

from above article....

"The modern obsession most absurd in its appearance in ''Ancient Evenings'' has to do, predictably, with female sexuality as a wound. It surfaces in the extended chronicle of Menenhetet's passion for an overweight concubine named Honey-Ball, ''the greatest little queen of them all,'' whose ''hips were like the hips of a horse'' -a person who once displeased the Pharaoh and, for punishment, had a toe amputated. Impossible to summarize this story in neutral tones. Powerfully drawn to each other, Honey-Ball and the Charioteer are nevertheless unhappy about their lovemaking until, by accident, a breakthrough occurs. Angered one afternoon by his beloved's ''bawdy mirth,'' the Charioteer seizes the woman's foot. Immediately she begins kicking him, and the Charioteer, taking a good deal of ''punishment around the head,'' is confused -has he ''committed some terrible act?'' Light shortly arrives. The foot in the Charioteer's mouth is ''the one with the missing toe.'' And it emerges that the place of the missing toe is a G-spot."

I can almost taste the fat phobia in that paragraph. This guy (writer) has obviously had too much bible for lunch. Maybe its not honey balls at all and that's an intentional typo. And maybe, instead of perceiving mailer as a male chauvinist prick, we should look at it as presented as a lesson many missed. starting with this reporter.

Lindsay Duncan, Jeff Fahey, and Kim Delaney in Body Parts (Eric Red, 1991)

Cast: Jeff Fahey, Lindsay Duncan, Kim Delaney, Zakes Mokae, Brad Dourif, John Walsh, Paul Ben-Victor, Peter Murnik. Screenplay: Patricia Herskovic, Joyce Taylor, Eric Red, Norman Snider, based on a novel by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac. Cinematography: Theo van de Sande. Production design: Bill Brodie. Editing: Anthony Redman. Music: Loek Dikker. 

How can a movie with a car chase, a fight in a barroom, and an abundance of gore turn out so dull? Body Parts is based on an old trope, that of severed members taking on a life of their own. Adaptations of W.W. Jacobs's 1902 story "The Monkey's Paw" are so numerous they have a Wikipedia page of their own and Maurice Renard's 1920 novel Les Mains d'Orlac, about a concert pianist who receives the transplanted hands of a murderer, has been filmed several times, including Robert Wiene's 1924 silent The Hands of Orlac and Karl Freund's 1935 Mad Love, starring Peter Lorre. The many adaptations of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein also play on the notion of reanimated body parts. But it's not that the idea behind Eric Red's movie has been done to death, so to speak, it's that Red and the various screenwriters who worked on the movie find so little new and interesting to do with it. It's adapted from a 1965 novel, Choice Cuts, by the writing team known as Boileau-Narcejac, who provided the source material for some much better movies: Diabolique (aka Les Diaboliques, Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1955) and Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958). The acting isn't bad. As Bill Chrushank, a psychiatrist who receives the arm of a murderer after losing his own in an auto accident, Jeff Fahey does a solid job of suggesting the ways the transplant brings out the worst in what may have been his own latent tendencies to violence. Lindsay Duncan plays the surgeon who does the transplant as a cold-blooded scientist with just a touch of hauteur that turns malevolent when her breakthrough technique is threatened. Brad Dourif overacts a little as the artist who receives the other arm and finds that it actually feeds his imagination and produces darkly disturbing paintings that sell. And Kim Delaney does what she can with the role of Chrushank's wife, who bears the brunt of his emotional transformation. But Red's direction never builds suspense, giving us time to anticipate the shocks we expect the material to provide. There's also a completely unearned "happy ending" that saps any lingering tension from what has gone before.

"Alais Lavoie Fined $100 Or 3 Months," Kingston Whig-Standard. June 25, 1943. Page 3. ---- Alais Lavole, Ottawa, was fined $100 and costs or three months in jail, when convicted in city police court this morning of being in possession of stolen goods, the property of Peters' Feed Store. He was in company with Ivanhoe Lambert, Ottawa, and Adelaid Goodreaux, Hull, when they were arrested for theft of money from the Peters' Store. Lambert was sentenced to two years in Kingston Penitentiary and Goodreaux was given one year in reformatory. Both swore that Lavoie was not with them when the store was robbed and knew nothing of their actions.

Magistrate J. B. Garvin said he would be considerate in his sentence as Lavoie's wife had recently given birth to a child and that Lavole had a position in Ottawa.

Remanded Reginald Bell, 9 Redan Street, will get a chance to catch up on lost sleep during the weekend while waiting in custody for trial on a charge of failing to attend regular parades of the 2nd Reserve Battalion P.W.O.R. He arrived late in city police court this morning when he was up for trial and explained to the magistrate that he had slept in. He was remanded in custody until Monday.

Alice North, 29 York Street, and Jeanette Veneotte, no fixed address, were remanded sine die on vagrancy charges.

Charges Dismissed On the advice of Acting Crown Attorney, H. A. McNeill, charges against Henry Pople, 56 Concession Street, for failing to make his child attend school were dismissed. The acting crown council said there was not sufficient evidence to warrant conviction. Kenneth Snider, 491 Rideau Street, was fined $1 and costs for failing to make his son attend school.

Norman Sudds, 27 Hickson Avenue, was fined $5 and costs for stealing a bicycle, the property of James Farrely.

Clifford Smith, 27 Charles St., was fined $8 for speeding and Alvin McNamee, 56 Bay Street, was fined $18 for speeding over the war measures limit. Thomas Jenman, Ordnance Street, was fined $10 and costs for being intoxicated.

This is another film that was selected for Movie Club Challenge over on The Podcast Under the Stairs. It was a blindspot for me in David Cronenberg's filmography and I'm glad I knocked this one off. It is an amazing performance from Jeremy Irons and just a great look at depressing look at these two characters descending into madness. What are your thoughts on this movie?

“3 Suspects In Custody,” Windsor Star. October 9, 1942. Page 5. ---- Face Charge of Beating, Robbing Kingsville Motorist ---- Condition of Lloyd Wigle, 27, of Kingsville, who was brutally beaten early yesterday morning by two soldiers and a civilian, is reported slightly improved this morning at Metropolitan Hospital where he was taken following the attack. Provincial Constable J. McDonald who started on the case about 1.30 yesterday morning and who gave information to Windsor police leading to the arrest of two soldiers at St. Luke Road Barracks yesterday morning, finally caught up with the civilian who allegedly took part in the attack about 11 o'clock last night. SUSPECT ARRESTED Richard Grant, no fixed abode, Windsor, was arrested for beating Wigle. Privates Norman L. Johnson and Garnet Nelson Neil, both of Chatham, were the soldiers arrested. Johnson is 29 years old. Neil is 32. Both men only recently joined the army. Charged with robbery with violence, the three appeared before Magistrate D. M. Brodie in county police court today and were remanded in custody to Thursday, October 15, without election of trial. Information gathered from the provincial police is that Wigle was struck over the head by a heavy instrument, probably either a wrench or a blackjack, when just outside the city limits on South Cameron boulevard. He was then dragged from his car and beaten in a most pitiless manner. CLOTHING TORN OFF After what he estimates was about one hour later, Wigle regained consciousness. He found himself lying in a field, completely stripped of his clothing which had been torn from his back. 

He walked through the long wet grass of the fields for more than a mile towards a light he saw in a shanty on the Michigan Central Railway property. When at last he gained the shanty he was at once taken to Metropolitan Hospital where he was treated by Dr. D. I. Snider. 

Wigle had received several broken ribs and his face was swollen almost beyond recognition. 

His attackers, whom he picked up in Windsor as hitchhikers, stole more than $14 in cash from Wigle, besides driving off with his car which has since been recovered.
