Treacle Walker by Alan Garner

1. Novel

Treacle Walker by Alan Garner

Rising up, I liked Alan Garner’s novels. He got here to a present I did a number of years in the past and afterwards talked about how he thought he’d completed with books however then realised: “Rattling it, I’ve received an concept for an additional one.” Treacle Walker is brief and really potent, like numerous his work. It’s a couple of younger man who lives alone and will get visited by an odd, shamanic rag-and-bone man, with whom he swaps totemic objects. It’s a lovely bookend to his work and I’m so happy it’s on the Booker shortlist.

It is a present by the countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo and cabaret performer Justin Vivian Bond, a mixture of high-art opera and downtown New York experimental drag. I haven’t seen it but, however would like to, as a result of each of them are extraordinary performers. Justin’s act is so subtle and unusual and great, and Anthony has an extremely lovely voice. They’re two individuals who shouldn’t actually be in the identical room – it’s like two totally different chemical compounds coming collectively to create one thing fairly extraordinary and harmful.

The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast

The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast

I’m outing myself as a believer in fairies right here. The presenter, Jo Hickey-Corridor, interviews odd individuals who write in with tales about seeing fairies and different unknown creatures. A few of the tales are actually scary, and typically they’re completely like: “I noticed a really small man stroll by means of my bed room carrying a sharp hat.” I really like listening to it. After I can’t get to sleep at night time, I put it on. Within the morning, I can’t keep in mind which bits of it I’ve dreamed. To paraphrase Ken Campbell: “I’m not mad, I’ve simply listened to totally different podcasts.”

This is without doubt one of the oldest blogs in existence. Seth Godin began out within the advertising and marketing and tech worlds and moved into social activism. His posts are sometimes very quick and pithy; he calls it pondering out loud in public. He says enterprise individuals must be extra like artists, and his definition of artwork is that you just want to have the ability to say: “this may fail”, and if you happen to can’t say that, it’s probably not artwork. He writes books too, and has a podcast known as Akimbo, which is good as nicely. He’s a bit like a advertising and marketing model of Malcolm Gladwell.

Floatworks is a flotation tank centre in Vauxhall. You get in a pod containing excessive salt-density water, not very deep, after which shut the lid. It’s sort of like low-effort meditation, since you’ve no selection however go inside. Generally I am going in and it’s simply my thoughts chattering away and I take into consideration reveals and have some good concepts. Generally, with out attempting, you get taken to a deep theta state. You all the time come out and the world seems to be totally different, brighter, and also you’re inside your physique another way.
