Scorched Earth, Black Snow:
Britain and Australia in the Korean War, 1950
On 21st June 2011, in conjunction with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea, the KCC hosted a Global Korea Lecture with Seoul based author and journalist Andrew Salmon. The talk was an overwhelming success and the 100 places for the lecture were fully subscribed weeks in advance.
Though almost entirely unknown in the UK, the Korean War consumed more British lives than the Falklands, Iraq and Afghan conflicts combined; established China – the erstwhile “Sick Man of Asia” - as a superpower; and even today, holds the potential to reignite and unleash a nuclear catastrophe across East Asia.
In a presentation illustrated with some 200 photographs and paintings, many never seen in the UK, Andrew Salmon brought this grim struggle back to life as he discussed the story of Anglo-Australian forces in the war’s most dramatic - and terrible - months.
Scorched Earth, Black Snow is available both online and available from all good books stores.
La force des livres est de pouvoir nous plonger dans des états seconds, de nous faire vivre des songes les yeux ouverts... en voici trois excellents exemples.
On commence avec Junky où l'amérique d'après guerre d'une génération en marge, sombre et libre est livrée brute par William S. Burroughs. On vit chaque trip, chaque injection comme si on y était - ce qui est un peu déroutant le matin avant le boulot mais qui fait de ce livre est un must read.
Puis Zombies, une autre époque (les années 80) et une autre génération d'américains riches, perdus, shootés au Valium et compètement pathétiques, et sans doute l'un des livres qui porte le mieux son titre.
Mais que vient faire Haruki Murakami entre ces deux enfants terribles des amériques? hé bien, avec son univers onirique et poétique, on ne sort pas du songe dans lequel nous ont plongé Ellis et Burroughs, mais le songe change de forme, il devient doux et beau. C'est le deuxième Murakami que je lis après les amants du Spoutnik et ça se lit sans fin, rien d'autre à ajouter.
Kafka sur le rivage - Haruki Murakami - 10/18
Junky - William S. Burroughs - folio
Zombies - Bret Easton Ellis - 10/18
dans la froidure, il lisait,
il aurait mérité
un peu plus de lumière et de chaleur
mais dans son livre il était
et cela semblait lui suffire.

I drew this over several weeks in my one-a-week lectures. Then I played around with masks and the gradient tool in photoshop to get this. I also made it my twitter background ^.^
