Personalita
She spoke 200 languages, had a wonderful voice, was an excellent guitarist, a 360-degree showgirl—in short, a great ARTIST in all caps.

46 - Scene indimenticabili 4 - REPULSION (1965) - Regia di Roman Polanski
Carol shuts herself in at home, doesn’t reply to messages, sees the walls closing in and the hands of ghosts coming out of the wall. In 2026, she would be called a mental wellness influencer and have two hundred thousand followers on Instagram watching her reels about authentic loneliness while the rabbit rots off-screen.
The system that pathologizes Carol is the same one that now produces mental health podcasts hosted by people who have never had a single uncomfortable thought in their lives, turning mental fractures into palatable and monetizable content. Peeping Tom today would be the cameraman for a reality show and no one would find it odd. Eleanor from Haunting would look for her haunted house on Airbnb and leave three stars because the nighttime noises were excessive.
The pre-established order that Polanski subverted still exists; it’s just shifted: it’s no longer the bourgeois morality of the Sixties but the contemporary therapeutic consensus, where everything must be processed, shared, resolved, and finally posted. Carol, who doesn’t talk, doesn’t process, and doesn’t share, is still the real disruptive element—not because she’s crazy, but because she’s impermeable to the system for managing collective anxiety. Poe would be banned for disturbing content. The tell-tale heart would become a true crime series on Netflix with eighties music and a reassuring ending. spostato:

'Tales From Monographic Oceans': a freestyle journey across a stretch of sea, cutting through the isthmuses of certain discographies (Todd Rundgren 63, 13).
That great genius, my friend Todd, or: the Dictator of the Free State of Utopia, a lone man at the helm of pop in its thousand forms (post-Beatles, sunshine, power, art, progressive: often all these things at once).
And like all geniuses, also contradictory (sublime here, rough there, visionary here, coarse there).

How sorry I am that Martin Amis has already left us two years ago now. I had already written about him (under the nickname Stanlio) because he helped me discover truths that usually aren’t told, not even at school. I’ve read many of his books and essays, and now I’m almost done with this semi-biographical “novelized” work in which he tells his own story and also talks about his writer friends (including his father Kingsley). To be honest, it carries on the autobiography he began with “Experience” twenty years earlier.

So, I’m two hundred pages away from finishing this interesting “Inside Story” and I have to admit that I really regret having to part ways with this remarkable writer. I recommend him to everyone who loves Amis and writers like Bellow, Hitchens, Roth, etc., while to everyone else I’ll just say: you have no idea what you’re missing out on by not reading Sir Martin Louis Amis—and that’s all…
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
LAURA NYRO will you love me tomorrow
This cover of a Carola song is even more beautiful than the original. Thank you Lauretta, you were amazing, but many didn’t understand you.
 
 
@[cofras] is a bit of a charlatan. He tries a little too hard.
@[Dislocation] shall we put him to the test?
