![]() ![]() Mike Watson is a theorist, critic and curator who is principally focused on the relationship between culture, new media and politics. Mike Watson speaks to Pierre d’Alancaisez about Mark Fisher’s legacy in critical online spaces, the democracy of memes and their aesthetic warfare, the Acid Left, and how the Frankfurt School thinkers foreshadowed our current moment. As more people have access to the means for theoretical and critical engagement online, he urges the online left to build a real-life cultural and political movement. Taking in the phenomena of QAnon, twitch streaming, and memes, Watson argues that the dichotomy between culture and political praxis is a false one. In examining their thoughts and drawing parallels with Fisher’s Capitalist Realism, Watson aims to render the Frankfurt School as an incisive theoretical toolbox for the post-Covid digital age. In the aftermath, The Memeing of Mark Fisher (Zero Books, 2021) revisits the Frankfurt School theorists who worked in the shadow of World War Two, during the rise of the culture industry. Mike Watson picks up Fisher’s prognosis when the locked-down pandemic world is mired in a depression that is economic and psychological, and no doubt exacerbated by the transfer of culture and life online. ![]() ![]() One of Fisher’s insights, widely taken up by the online memesphere, was that capitalism breeds depression. Through his blog K-Punk, Mark Fisher become one of the cult figures of cultural theory after the economic crash of 2008. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is the story of the Lesters, a family of white sharecroppers so destitute that most of their creditors have given up on them.

The first significant piece of dialogue shifts “I may have just killed my wife” to “I may have just killed Rachel” in the first twenty pages. This fulfills early premonitions about Pearson’s unreliability as a narrator. Pearson and four other characters offer competing postscripts. Loxias and Pearson both write forewords to the main text. This allows Murdoch to address an audience directly, pausing for philosophical musings, without engaging in the post-modern trick of acknowledging the reader. The Black Prince is structured as Pearson’s apologia to his editor and friend P.A. Eros defeats art and the comic part of the novel ends tragedy predictably follows. Pearson falls in love and abandons his desire to leave London and his novel. On the third attempt, Pearson’s best friend and rival Arnold Baffin’s 20-year-old daughter rings. Each time he tries to leave, the doorbell rings and his work is delayed. The first half of the novel outlines Pearson’s attempts to escape to the countryside to work on his would-be great novel. ![]() The Black Prince is the story of Bradley Pearson, a 58-year-old retired Inspector of Taxes and author.

As the three of them form an improvised family that soon weathers its own tragic losses, Yoshimoto spins a lovely, evocative tale that recalls early Marguerite Duras.

Brief Summary of Book: Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto ![]() ![]() ‘Does its po-mo surface diminish this true story?’ Lasdun asked. A review in the Guardian by James Lasdun (see here) had put me off. My first encounter with the book had been less than promising. I had to force myself to walk round the beautiful ancient city in the sunshine and to go on the bike ride to tulip fields that I had been so looking forward to prior to my trip. I was so gripped by the novel, there were days when I had to peel my body up from my hotel bed and drag myself into the university. I was in the Netherlands at the time, a visiting lecturer on a week-long Erasmus exchange. ![]() ![]() I spent a thrilling week in March 2013 trying so very hard not to reach the end of Laurent Binet’s HHhH (1). ![]() ![]() ![]() Gregor took Cat with him to France, telling her that because of her rare and special status as a half-breed, many, particularly the vampire Bones, would want to use her. Unbeknownst to Cat, Gregor had mesmerized her mother into thinking that Gregor was an old friend who had come to help. Shortly afterwards, Cat was approached by the vampire Gregor. When Cat turned sixteen, her mother revealed her true identity to her for the first time. As Cat grew up, she began to manifest some vampire abilities which set her apart from her peers, such as exceptional strength. After this experience, Justina hated all vampires with fervor, and later taught her daughter to do the same. Cat's father, the vampire Maximillian, kept back his true identity until right after he slept with Justina, when he showed her the vampiric green light of his eyes. 1.5 Reunification with Bones and Incident with IanĬatherine Kathleen Russell was born out of wedlock to a young Justina Crawfield.1.4 Joining the military and estrangement from Bones. ![]() |
