#nowreading CURTAIN UP: Agatha Christie - A Life in Theatre, by Julius Green #malewriter #nonfiction
ID: A photograph of the book cover. The top half is dominated by the title, in red, styled to resemble a neon sign on the front of a theatre, below which is the first part of the subtitle in a serif font, then the second part in a handwriting-style font, then the author’s name in an all-capitals sans-serif font. Across the bottom is a photograph of the doors of a theatre which is well-lit but closed

Oh, I wasn’t invested in the outcome, it was just a genuinely edge-of-the-seat game. But it must’ve been absolutely devastating for Freo fans

I call that gutterballing. Because you can see that you’ve dropped into that gutter, and you can’t actually do anything about it, but you have to just stand there watching it in horror

ID: Photograph of the 1982 Fontana edition. The cover illustration’s background is a crazed, white wall, with a couple of smears of fresh blood. In the foreground is a large, red rose with blood dripping copiously from its petals, and a string of barbed wire cut at its stem

Today was a day of ironies (in variously loose senses) It started with arriving at my therapist’s office while the radio pipED out Christine McVie’s exhortation, ‘tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies’ Then the podcast I just listened to, on chatbot psychosis, ended with an ad for Amazon AWS AI

#nowreading AGATHA CHRISTIE: A Very Elusive Woman, by @lucyworsley.bsky.social #femalewriter #nonfiction #agathachristie
ID: A photograph of an edition of the book which does not carry the subtitle. The cover is slate grey, featuring a black and white photograph of Agatha Christie in a black hat with broad brim and a rounded crown, a white shirt and tie, and a jacket. The shirt and jacket have been colourised with the same bright shade of pink used for the author’s name at the top of the design and the strapline “The Sunday Times Bestseller” at the bottom; the shirt almost white and the jacket slightly more heavily. The following quotes are arranged around the right-hand side of Christie’s hat and face: “Highly entertaining” from the Times Books of the Year; “A riveting portrait” from Guardian Books of the Year; “One brilliant woman writing about another” from Antonia Fraser; “The perfect biographer” from A.N. Wilson; and “Unputdownable” from Amanda Foreman

I honestly don’t know what you’re complaining about. Only 3/4 of those neologisms are now obsolete. There’s still two of them that are merely obscure

Yeah, yeah, yeah, llamas, but why has nobody mentioned that one guy doing a piece to camera in the background?

#nowreading MEDEA and Other Plays, by Euripides, translated by James Morwood #malewriter #play
ID: Photograph of the Oxford World’s Classics edition of the book, featuring Eugène Delacroix’s painting Médée, which depicts a nude Medea holding her struggling sons in her arms and a dagger in her left hand, with her face in shadow to just below the eyes. The reproduction is cropped to remove Jason from the left of the painting, the direction in which Medea is looking. There is also a white strap towards the bottom of the design for the book’s details

I’m not going to get the chance to see it (I live in Australia), but the opening number performance at the Tonys certainly gave the (strangely apt) impression of a show that has spent forty years waiting to step into its true self

#nowreading MOTHER COURAGE AND HER CHILDREN, by Bertolt Brecht. Translated by John Willett, edited by John Willett and Ralph Mannheim #malewriter #play
ID: Screenshot of the book’s cover. It has a pale blue border, with the same colour used for the author’s name and the title. The top fifth is dedicated to the title, author, translator and editors, and the rest consists of a production photo of Helene Weigel as Mother Courage in the 1949 Deutsches Theater production; she is wearing a plain, sturdy dress, with her hair held back in a kerchief, and sits with her feet on a large tin can, eyes downcast. Behind her is a bench lined up with wooden steins, with a tap and bucket beneath it, and there is a basket containing a couple of earthenware flagons on the floor in front of her
