Better Than Friday - 107

Good evening everyone, hope you have a great weekend. 

That logo is a rad design commissioned by friend, poet and patron Tim Grayson. 

Thank you so much man, what a kind surprise. 

1. A book I'd like to read: Lord of Dark Places by Hal Bennett 

Thanks to patron Charles for the recommendation!

This looks like an intense read. Hal Bennet was called a 'New York Genet' by the New Statesman. 

Lord of Dark Places passes violently through decades of American abuses and deadly circumstances―lynchings, displacement from the Great Migration, and discrimination on the basis of race remain the plight within the Black experience, particularly for Titus and Joe Market. Originally published in 1970, Hal Bennett’s novel is nevertheless right on time to depict the lives and losses of Black men for a new generation of readers. Uniquely a detective story, a tragedy, and a dark comedy, Bennett’s work is the coveted fruit of a society built from bad seeds.

A detective story, a black comedy, a tragedy, and thirty years out of print, it's a dissertation on history/stereotypes that man/unman black Americans.

4. Where I’m considering moving to next… 

A new state for me. 

I drove through this spot once, when we were running from the hurricane in Florida. 

It was beautiful. 

5. An interview with Andrej Zulawski

Fascinating to hear the stories behind the film Possession. It's one of my favorites.
