Londra'da yer alan Barbican Center'da yaklaşık bir ay kadar önce “Unravel: the Power and Politics of Textiles in Art,” [Çözülme: Sanatta Tekstilin Gücü ve Politikası] başlıklı bir sergi açıldı. Uzaktan takip edebildiğim kadarıyla bu sergi epey de ses getirdi, ilgi gördü. Gene Barbican'da serginin de açık olduğu tarihlerde London Book of Review'ün Kış Konferanları serisi de düzenlenecektir. Bu seri kapsamında 3 konuşma planlanmaktadır. London Book of Review, Barbican'la (ki bu durum Barbican tarafından açıklanıyor) üzerinde mutabık kalınmadan bir konuşmacıyla anlaşılması üzerine bu konferans dizisi iptal oluyor. Pankaj Mishra tarafından verilmesi planlanan “The Shoah after Gaza” başlıklı konferans olayların alevlenmesine neden oldu. Özellikle 1960 ve 1970'li yıllarda soykırım [holokost] kelimesi birçok olayla birlikte kullanılmaya başlanınca Yahudilere yaşadıklarını anlatacak bir terim düşünülür ve İbranicedeki her şeyi silip götüren kuvvetli rüzgar manasına gelen Shoah seçilir. Her konuda olduğu gibi bu konuda da İsrail Yahudilerin her şeyini biricik olması konusunda öncülük yapar. Hindistanlı yazar Pankaj Mishra'nın Shoah sonrası Gazze başlıklı br konuşma yapacak olması, adının bu olması bile büyü gürültülere ve beraberinden İngiltere'de ifade özgürlüğü ve sansür tartışmalarına neden oldu. Bu yaşananlar üzerine Çözülme: Sanatta Tekstilin Gücü ve Politikası sergisinde eserleri bulunan bazı sanatçı ve koleksiyonerler eserlerini geri çektiler. Diedrick Brackens, Yto Barrada, Mounira al Solh ve Cian Dayrit eserlerini geri çeken sanatçılar. Lorenzo Legarda Leviste and Fahad Mayet ise eserlerini geri çeken koleksiyonerler. Suudi Arabistan merkezli ve aynı zamanda Dubai'de de şubesi bulunan Jameel Arts Center da kurumsal olarak verdiği eseri geri çekti. Böylece sergiden 9 eser geri çekilmiş oldu. Sergi sanatseverlerle buluşmaya eksik de olsa devam ediyor. Öte yandan Kültür İşçileri Soykırıma Karşı(Culture Workers Against Genocid), Barbican CEO'su Clare Spencer ve yönetim kurulundan, Mishra'nın konuşmasının iptal edilmesine ve Filistin merkezli Radio Al Hara'nın kurucularından Elias Anastas'ın "sansür" uygulanmasına yol açan karar alma süreci hakkında "tam şeffaflık" talep etti. Anastas olayını da kısaca hatırlamakta fayda var.

In the years after World War One, more than 100,000 Jews were murdered in pogroms across Ukraine. Jeffrey Veidlinger is an acclaimed historian who says this targeted violence sowed the seeds for the Holocaust that would arrive two decades later. Veidlinger is an award-winning author and Joseph Brodsky Collegiate Professor of History and Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. He is the author of several books, including his most recent, “In the Midst of Civilized Europe: The Pogroms of 1918-1921 and the Onset of the Holocaust” which was a finalist for both the Lionel Gelber Prize and the National Jewish Book Award, as well as a Kirkus Top Nonfiction Book of 2021 and a Times of London “Book of the Week.” Veidlinger is the former Vice-President of the Association for Jewish Studies, Chair of the Academic Advisory Council of the Center for Jewish History, a member of both the Executive Committee of the American Academy for Jewish Research and of the Academic Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, as well as Chair of the Academic Advisory Council of the Center for Jewish History.  Veidlinger was the Director of the Borns Jewish Studies Program at Indiana University from 2009-2013, and Director of the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies from 2015-2021. His work has been found in Harper's Magazine, Smithsonian Magazine, The Globe and Mail, Tablet Magazine, and The Forward.

Rae and Veronica are starting Black History Month with award-winning author Rebekah Weatherspoon and the second book in her Cowboys of California series, If the Boot Fits. This Cinderella-inspired tale follows Amanda McQueen (personal assistant to an evil actress) and Sam Pleasant (recent Oscar winning actor). When a chance encounter at an after-Oscars party leads them to a steamy night, Amanda disappears into the sunrise… with Sam's Oscar statue. Weatherspoon manages to incorporate heavy topics, but still makes us laugh real hard. The ladies discuss white savior syndrome, doing our own anti-racism work, and while still managing to act like horny teenagers.

John Barleycorn - Jack London - Book 27, Part 1 Title: John Barleycorn Overview: John Barleycorn is an autobiographical novel by Jack London dealing with his enjoyment of drinking and struggles with alcoholism. It was published in 1913. The title is taken from the British folksong "John Barleycorn". Jack London died at the age of forty. In this autobiographical work, London describes his life as seen through the eyes of John Barleycorn (alcohol). There is much controversy about the cause of his death just as there is about alcoholism and addiction. London's brutally frank and honest analysis of his own struggles and bouts with alcohol was way before its time and more modern theories of addiction. With remarkable candor and insight, London describes the demons and gods he encountered through both friend and enemy, John Barleycorn. Famed American author Jack London lived and worked on the waterfront in his early years. He roamed from Benicia to Alviso as an ‘Oyster Pirate' and later became a member of the ‘Fish Patrol' enforcing fish poaching laws. It was during his stay in Benicia that he began to write and where he garnered the experiences and inspiration for two of his well-known works, “Tales of the Fish Patrol” and “John Barleycorn.” The Jurgensen Old Corner Saloon was located at Jack London Haunts (1892-1895) Semple Slips / Jurgensen Saloon and was a favorite hangout for London and provided much material for “John Barleycorn.” Published: 1913 Series: Autobiographical Memoirs Collections #3, Non-Fiction Collections #4 Author: Jack London Genre: Memoirs Episode: John Barleycorn - Jack London - Book 27, Part 1 Part: 1 of 2 Length Part: 5:43:41 Book: 27 Length Book: 9:43:45 Episodes: 1 - 10 of 19 Narrator: Peter Kelleher Language: English Rated: Guidance Suggested Edition: Unabridged Audiobook Keywords: determination, persistence, man versus nature, battle, morality play, perception, discovery, travels, adventure, family, jacklondon Hashtags: #freeaudiobooks #audiobook #mustread #readingbooks #audiblebooks #favoritebooks #free #booklist #audible #freeaudiobook #determination #persistence #man #nature #battle #morality #perception #discovery #travels #adventure #family #JackLondon Credits: All LibriVox Recordings are in the Public Domain.

The People of the Abyss - Jack London - Book 17 Title: The People of the Abyss Overview: Jack London lived for a time within the grim and grimy world of the East End of London, where half a million people scraped together hardly enough on which to survive. Even if they were able to work, they were paid only enough to allow them a pitiful existence. He grew to know and empathize with these forgotten (or ignored) people as he spoke with them and tasted the workhouse, life on the streets, ... and the food, which was cheap, barely nutritious, and foul. He writes about his experiences in a fluid and narrative style, making it very clear what he thinks of the social structures which created the Abyss, and of the millionaires who live high on the labors of a people forced to live in squalor. "... The food this managing class eats, the wine it drinks, ... the fine clothes it wears, are challenged by eight million mouths which have never had enough to fill them, and by twice eight million bodies which have never been sufficiently clothed and housed."

The Valley of the Moon - Jack London - Book 13, Part 2 Title: The Valley of the Moon Overview: The Valley of the Moon (1913) is a novel by American writer Jack London (as well as the mythic and romantic name for the wine-growing Sonoma Valley of California). The valley where it is set is located north of the San Francisco Bay Area in Sonoma County, California where Jack London was a resident; he built his ranch in Glen Ellen. The novel The Valley of the Moon is a story of a working-class couple, Billy and Saxon Roberts, struggling laborers in Oakland at the Turn-of-the-Century, who leave city life behind and search Central and Northern California for suitable farmland to own. The book is notable for its scenes in which the proletarian heroes enjoy fellowship with the artists' colony in Carmel and their settling in the Valley of the Moon.

The Abysmal Brute - Jack London - Book 12 Title: The Abysmal Brute Overview: The Abysmal Brute is a novel by American writer Jack London, published in book form in 1913. It is a short novel and could be regarded as a novelette. It first appeared in September 1911 in Popular Magazine. In the story, a man who was brought up in a log cabin, and who is a newcomer to society, finds success as a boxer and recognizes corrupt practices in professional boxing. Young Pat Glendon is twenty-two years old, weighs two-hundred and twenty pounds, has never drunk alcohol nor tasted tobacco and knows little of city life. He's all muscle, moves with cat-like grace and possesses great stamina and strength acquired from living natural in the wilds of northern California with his father. Young Pat is a natural at prize-fighting. In addition to his brawn he has speed and a natural instinct for the sport. His father, a former heavyweight prize-fighter himself, has trained Young Pat and believes it is time for the boy to take on the heavyweight world. But being in poor health, the elder Glendon enlists Sam Stubener of San Francisco to be the boy's manager with instructions to protect the boy from the rottenness of the sport. Jack London's The Abysmal Brute is about naivete and natural athleticism against the brutishness and corruption of professional boxing, intertwined with a touching romance and was twice made into movies: The Abysmal Brute (1923) and Conflict (1936), the latter starring John Wayne as Young Pat Glendon.

The Valley of the Moon - Jack London - Book 13, Part 3 Title: The Valley of the Moon Overview: The Valley of the Moon (1913) is a novel by American writer Jack London (as well as the mythic and romantic name for the wine-growing Sonoma Valley of California). The valley where it is set is located north of the San Francisco Bay Area in Sonoma County, California where Jack London was a resident; he built his ranch in Glen Ellen. The novel The Valley of the Moon is a story of a working-class couple, Billy and Saxon Roberts, struggling laborers in Oakland at the Turn-of-the-Century, who leave city life behind and search Central and Northern California for suitable farmland to own. The book is notable for its scenes in which the proletarian heroes enjoy fellowship with the artists' colony in Carmel and their settling in the Valley of the Moon.

The Mutiny of the Elsinore - Jack London - Book 14, Part 1 Title: The Mutiny of the Elsinore Overview: The Mutiny of the Elsinore is a novel by the American writer Jack London first published in 1914. The novel is partially based on London's voyage around Cape Horn on the Dirigo in 1912. The character "De Casseres", who espouses nihilistic viewpoints similar to the ideas of French philosopher Jules de Gaultier, is based on London's real-life friend and journalist Benjamin De Casseres. This is the story of a voyage of a sailing ship from Baltimore to Seattle, east-to-west around Cape Horn in the winter. It is set in 1913 and the glory days of “wooden ships and iron men” are long over. The Elsinore is a four-masted iron sailing vessel carrying a cargo of 5000 tons of coal. She has a “bughouse” crew of misfits and incompetents. This book was published in 1915 and some actions of some of the characters seem odd to us today. There is romance, but it is strangely platonic. Two important characters disappear with no real explanation. The disparity between the officers on the one hand and the fo'c'sle on the other is striking (literally). Some people will be offended by the bigotry. The “men against the sea” descriptions -and the weather descriptions- are among Jack London's finest. In my opinion, he is right up there with Joseph Conrad and Joshua Slocum in this effort. We also have a mutiny, complete with shootings and deliberate starvation with chapter 38 particularly exciting.

The Star Rover - Jack London - Book 15, Part 1 Title: The Star Rover Overview: The Star Rover is a novel by American writer Jack London published in 1915 (published in the United Kingdom as The Jacket). A framing story is told in the first person by Darrell Standing, a university professor serving life imprisonment in San Quentin State Prison for murder. Prison officials try to break his spirit by means of a torture device called "the jacket," a canvas jacket that can be tightly laced so as to compress the whole body, inducing angina. Standing discovers how to withstand the torture by entering a kind of trance state, in which he walks among the stars and experiences portions of past lives. It is science fiction and involves both mysticism and reincarnation.

Tales of the Fish Patrol - Jack London - Book 19 Title: Tales of the Fish Patrol Overview: Wildest among the fisher-folk may be accounted the Chinese shrimp-catchers. It is the habit of the shrimp to crawl along the bottom in vast armies till it reaches fresh water when it turns about and crawls back again to the salt. And where the tide ebbs and flows, the Chinese sink great bag-nets to the bottom, with gaping mouths, into which the shrimp crawls and from which it is transferred to the boiling pot. This in itself would not be bad, were it not for the small mesh of the nets, so small that the tiniest fishes, little new-hatched things not a quarter of an inch long, cannot pass through. The beautiful beaches of Points Pedro and Pablo, where are the shrimp-catchers villages, are made fearful by the stench from myriads of decaying fish, and against this wasteful destruction, it has ever been the duty of the fish patrol to act. These stories are set in the waterways around San Francisco Bay and involve the fish patrol with a variety of characters of different ethnicity and cultural backgrounds. Famed American author Jack London lived and worked on the waterfront in his early years. He roamed from Benicia to Alviso as an ‘Oyster Pirate' and later became a member of the ‘Fish Patrol' enforcing fish poaching laws.

Revolution, and Other Essays - Jack London - Book 21 Title: Revolution, and Other Essays Overview: A collection of 13 essays written between 1900 and 1908, published in 1910. The lead essay, "Revolution", outlines how and why London renounced capitalism as a failed social system and declared himself an active participant in the "socialist revolution", the last essay is an autobiographical piece, and the essays in between are on diverse subjects. A few of the “essays” are actually humorous short fiction stories; others are serious, sometimes angry rants against capitalistic greed and political corruption. All of the pieces are thought-provoking and excellently written, though only loosely intellectual, highly opinionated, and rife with contradiction, as was London himself.

The Cruise of the Dazzler - Jack London - Book 1 Title: The Cruise of the Dazzler Overview: The Cruise of the Dazzler is an early novel by Jack London, set in his home city of San Francisco.

Will Joe be able to escape this unwanted and dangerous new life at sea? The nautical activities on board the sailing boat are authentically described, and there are convincing descriptions of boats enduring stormy weather at sea. Published in 1902, Jack London sold this book (his first full-length novel) as a boy's adventure novel set in San Francisco, his hometown. In his autobiography, London recalls lifting several more elements in this novel from his adolescence, as in youth he bought a sloop called the Razzle Dazzle from an oyster pirate nicknamed "French Frank."

A Daughter of the Snows - Jack London - Book 2, Part 2 Title: A Daughter of the Snows Overview: A Daughter of the Snows (1902) is Jack London's first novel. Set in the Yukon, it tells the story of Frona Welse, "a Stanford graduate and physical Valkyrie" who takes to the trail after upsetting her wealthy father's community by her forthright manner and befriending the town's prostitute. She is also torn between love for two suitors: Gregory St Vincent, a local man who turns out to be cowardly and treacherous; and Vance Corliss, a Yale-trained mining engineer. The novel is noteworthy for its strong and self-reliant heroine, one of many who would people his fiction. Her name echoes that of his mother, Flora Wellman, though her inspiration has also been said to include London's friend Anna Strunsky. Modern commentators have criticized the novel for its approval of the main character's view that Anglo-Saxons are racially superior. This novel contains very overt racial and gender stereotypes and as such reflects the attitudes growing in society at the time it was written. The novel was commissioned by publisher S. S. McClure, who provided London a $125 a month stipend to write it.

The Call of the Wild - Jack London - Book 3 Title: The Call of the Wild Overview: Buck is living a happy life in California until he is sold to pay a gambling debt. Taken to the Klondike to become a sled dog, Buck must toughen up and learn the harsher rules of survival in the North. One of the first of these is how to deal with being harnessed in the same team as a dog that wants to kill him. Large, strong, and smart, Buck toughens to his new life. But even the toughest dog can be worn down by constant work, and after 3,000 miles of pulling sleds, Buck nears the end of his rope. Castaway as no longer useful, Buck is acquired by greenhorns whose inexperience nearly kills him, but after being saved by John Thornton, he, at last, finds a man he can love. Then on a remote gold-hunting expedition, Buck hears a call emanating from the woods and speaking to the wild heart of his distant ancestors. The lure of it almost balances the great love he bears for Thornton, but events take him away from his old life... and into legend.

Before Adam - Jack London - Book 6 Title: Before Adam Overview: Before Adam is a mixture of sound science and sci-fi speculation. It is based on Darwin's theory of evolution and the idea of racial memory. The main character lives in the current world but has dreams and nightmares that he relives the pre-stone age life of one of his proto-human ancestors. Before Adam is a novel by Jack London, serialized in 1906 and 1907 in Everybody's Magazine. It is the story of a man who dreams he lives the life of an early hominid. The story offers an early view of human evolution. The majority of the story is told through the eyes of the man's hominid alter ego, one of the Cave People. In addition to the Cave People, there are the more advanced Fire People and the more animal-like Tree People. Other characters include the hominid's father, a love interest, and Red-Eye, a fierce "atavism" that perpetually terrorizes the Cave People. A saber-cat also plays a role in the story. Later scholars have noted strong eugenic themes in Before Adam. Those who are scientifically inclined may enjoy this novel more than fans of "standard" science fiction such as Edgar Rice Burroughs.

White Fang - Jack London - Book 7, Part 1 Title: White Fang Overview: White Fang is a novel by American author Jack London (1876–1916) — and the name of the book's eponymous character, a wild wolfdog. First serialized in Outing magazine between May and October 1906, it was published in book form in October 1906. The story details White Fang's journey to domestication in Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush. It is a companion novel (and a thematic mirror) to London's best-known work, The Call of the Wild (1903), which is about a kidnapped, domesticated dog embracing his wild ancestry to survive and thrive in the wild. Much of White Fang is written from the viewpoint of the titular canine character, enabling London to explore how animals view their world and how they view humans. White Fang examines the violent world of wild animals and the equally violent world of humans. When White Fang is birthed in a cave to a wolf sire and a wolf/dog halfbreed dam, he is heir to two traditions. At first, he is content to explore and learn the laws of the Wild. But then his mother is caught and held by old memories of a past relationship with Man, and White Fang follows her into service with the Indians. Life among sled dogs is hardly less cruel and dangerous than living in the Wild, but brutality notches upward when his drunken master sells him to a nasty, twisted hanger-on at a riverside town of white men. He is stripped of everything soft and gentle when forced to fight to the death for a crowd of bettors. Taming this savage spirit and reclaiming the nobility within looks impossible. Fortunately, and heart-warmingly, a man arrives in White Fang's life to try. "White Fang" is often called the mirror image of Jack London's acclaimed "The Call of the Wild" in which a dog follows the reverse arc from tame to free. The book also explores complex themes including morality and redemption. As early as 1925, the story was adapted to film, and it has since seen several more cinematic adaptations, including a 1991 film starring Ethan Hawke and a 2018 original film for Netflix.

Martin Eden - Jack London - Book 9, Part 1 Title: Martin Eden Overview: Martin Eden is a 1909 novel by American author Jack London about a young proletarian autodidact struggling to become a writer. It was first serialized in The Pacific Monthly magazine from September 1908 to September 1909 and then published in book form by Macmillan in September 1909. Eden represents writers' frustration with publishers. The central theme of Eden's developing artistic sensibilities places the novel in the tradition of the Künstlerroman, which narrates an artist's formation and development. Eden differs from London in rejecting socialism, attacking it as "slave morality" and relying on a Nietzschean individualism. Nevertheless, in the copy of the novel which he inscribed for Upton Sinclair, London wrote, "One of my motifs, in this book, was an attack on individualism (in the person of the hero). I must have bungled it, for not a single reviewer has discovered it."

Nature vs Nurture, which is more influential? This is one of the queries that pop up when reading 'The Call Of The Wild' by Jack London. Probably the most well known of his works, it is very similar to 'White Fang' in many ways. We follow a St Bernard cross Scotch Collie named Buck as he returns to the icy wilderness of Northern Canada. Along his journey he rediscovers his baser, deep rooted instincts.Kyrin of the Mere Mortal crew had this to say. "Sometimes you can read two very similar books and only one of them will move you. This occurred for me with White Fang, leaving me slightly disappointed with Call Of The Wild. They both touch upon similar themes, have similar scenery and characters but something was just lacking. A decent book nevertheless and worth reading if you love dogs and the wilderness."Connect with Mere Mortals:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/Support the show

Anna McNuff is an adventurer, speaker, author and mischief maker. Named by The Guardian as one of the top female adventurers of our time, Condé Nast Traveller included her in a list of the 50 most influential travellers in the world. She is also the UK ambassador for Girl Guiding.   Anna’s major journeys include cycling a beautiful pink bicycle through each and every state of the USA, running the length of New Zealand, and exploring the peaks and passes of The Andes mountains – a journey in which she ascended the equivalent to eleven times the height of Everest on a bicycle.   In the summer of 2019, she set off on her most ambitious adventure yet – a 2,300+ mile (90 marathon) run through Britain… in her bare feet. Starting in the Shetland Islands and ending five months later in London, she weaved her way along rugged coastlines, through small villages, across moors, along beaches, over farmland and even pitter pattered down the odd picturesque A-road too. All the way along, she gave talks to the young women of Britain about taking on challenges of their own.   Much closer to home, Anna has also spent a month cycling across Europe directed entirely by social media, run the length of Hadrian’s wall dressed as a Roman Soldier, and the length of the Jurassic Coast, dressed as a dinosaur. As you do.   She can often be found writing in a local café in her home city of Gloucester, and will never turn down a slice of lemon meringue pie.   Show notes What Anna enjoys doing Why she loves doing big challenges The Barefoot Britain Challenge 2019 How 50 barefoot marathons turned into 100… Building awareness for the Girl Guiding Preparing her feet for the run Running the London Marathon April 2019 - 26.2 miles  Dealing with other people’s opinions about you Why you know what you are capable off Asking for help… Starting the challenge in the Shetland Islands Having a kit bag called “Barry Buttercup” Dealing with the logistics and how challenging it was Making it 1000 miles….

Alister McGrath's new book "Why God won't go away" is a critique of the New Atheist Movement spearheaded by Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris & Dennett. He chats with atheist philosopher Stephen Law about aggressive atheism and its online form.  They debate whether religion leads to violence and whether Stephen's "Evil God challenge" is a defeater for belief in a good God.

Colin Marshall walks through Stratford, London with John Rogers, author of the blog Lost Byway book This Other London: Adventures in the Overlooked City. They discuss how one should approach one's first London shopping mall, a built phenomenon that has changed dramatically over the decades; his memories of playing soccer with rotten fruit in the older of Stratford's indoor shopping centers; whether knowing the "other" London requires you to first know the standard London; how "ramble books" got him writing about unwritten-about places; the importance of feeling proud of wherever you live; the unshrinking "London Book" industry, whose robustness possibly owes to the difficulty of pinning the city down; comparisons with Los Angeles, where myths and easy definitions go uncontested; when Leytonstone went from part of Essex to part of London, and what that meant; the historical John Rogers, who got burnt at the stake; what constitutes his walking "practice," which has earned him a reputation as "the drinking man's Iain Sinclair"; the richer connection to the environment you feel when walking, and the aid to thinking it provides; how he first began blogging about his walks, and how the activity took on elements of journalism; his curiosity about London places and place names, and how walking facilitates the accretion of related facts into knowledge; his use of pubs as "third places," and his use of samosas as walking fuel; the Orwellian enjoyment of hardship; and his memories of riding the Docklands Light Railway into the sunset when he first came to town.

For the first meeting of the South London Book Club we've read The Ballad of Peckham Rye by Muriel Spark and non-fiction Do You Remember Olive Morris? (available from Lambeth Libraries).
