Tilda Swinton joins cast of "The Ballad of a Small Player" for Netflix deadline.com/2024/04/tilda-…
You rise each morning to a new day, a new world, which has to be created from scratch. Each day is a brilliant improvisation with full orchestra — the light on the sea, the foliage, the stabbing cypresses, the silver spindrift olives. — Lawrence Durrell Corfu (Hege)
My somewhat autobiographical novel to be filmed by Ed Berger ( “All Quiet on the Western Front”) and Colin Farrell hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…
Colin Farrell will star in The Ballad of a Small Player — the newest film from All Quiet on the Western Front director Edward Berger. When his past and his debts start to catch up with him, a high-stakes gambler laying low in Macau encounters a kindred spirit who might just hold…
Cefalù looked like a great whale basking in the blueness—a mythological ruminant of a fish, dreaming of some lost oceanic Eden, its eyes shut. The town clustered close about it. It was very beautiful. — Lawrence Durrell Cefalù (Bernhard J. Scheuvens)

Setting a story here on Kinmen, the Taiwanese island just off China’s coast and where I spent some winter and some summer days long ago. A music festival, cold nights in the beaches with paraffin lamps and razor clams, wandering through bunkers and pill boxes

@visegrad24 Very bad decision, we should prepare for peace as much as we prepare for war. Taiwan is not a territory of the United States. China and the United States should find a diplomatic transition for reunification. This world tragedy can be avoided.

«In Java Road, ultimo romanzo dello scrittore inglese, la protagonista è Hong Kong: la Hong Kong degli scontri del 2019, quella degli ultra-ricchi, quella di chi lotta per la vita». L'intervista a @lawrenceosborne su @DomaniGiornale. editorialedomani.it/idee/cultura/l…
When you withdraw a little from the overrated cacophony of contemporary fiction you see writers like Matsumoto more clearly : this chilling, inexorable tale is itself a “quiet place,” evoking a bygone Tokyo.

Again, I didn't repost the comment below either. What the hell?
The Claudine Gay discourse is going to make my head explode. Were the original attacks on her, which predated the plagiarism, motivated by racism? Yes, obviously. Did she plagiarize? Yes, also obviously. Stop debasing yourself with Orwellian talk of "academic sloppiness" 1/
On this day one always thinks back to the other New Year's Days. Here is a fake-snow one in Macau with actress Joan Chen and her husband Peter. I wish I could repeat it, but the passing years neither rhyme nor chime!
La grande fuga di Lawrence Osborne Giornalista, viaggiatore e scrittore di successo, ultimo esponente della tradizione del romanzo esotico: dal nuovo numero di Rivista Studio, intervista all'autore di Java Road, uscito in Italia per @adelphiedizioni rivistastudio.com/la-grande-fuga…
Just to be clear, I did not repost the comment below. Strange.
@DalrympleWill @theuniversalben Not sure why people are trying to argue with a master historian. This guy knows the middle history inside out, so don't come armed with what you learnt from Zionist propaganda peddlers, you will get smoked!

@lawrenceosborne Just read Matsumoto's "A Quiet Place." Really well done, excellent narrative drive and captivating character study featuring the dark rivers running through a milqtoast bureaucrat.
This is highly significant re US and Ukraine
Ukraine has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into long-range drones, capable of striking distant targets with a range of 3,000km, able to reach Russian Siberia. economist.com/europe/2024/04…
@lawrenceosborne Look forward to reading it. By the way, you remain the only writer capable of channeling Raymond Chandler. His novels are mostly mood and reflection. Others have tried and failed. You succeeded. Perhaps again?

Woke up this morning to a great review of “After 1177 BC” in the Wall Street Journal: “expert, ingenious and endlessly fascinating…First in “1177 B.C.” and now in “After 1177 B.C.,” Mr. Cline has rewritten our understanding of a distant but resonant age.” Sweet! 1/2

Something I can’t quite grasp in reading civil war history is McClellans popularity both in the moment and after the war. 100 years later we all see him for what he was but many of his men and other citizens held him in high regard in his lifetime even electing him Gov of NJ
"Fellini, and 'Amarcord' (1973), really broke the conventional ways of doing things & taught me that you have freedom to do whatever you desire, which allowed me to transcend all those dogmatic ways of making films that I was taught in film school." --- Hou Hsiao-Hsien
