Em a bit Beckett
+1 for Calvary, didn't even realize that was John McDonaghActually if anyone wants a totally unreserved recommendation for a dark Irish dramedy written by a McDonagh and starring Brendan Gleeson, go watch Calvary, by Martin's older brother John (who seems, on evidence, the superior McDonagh). I haven't seen their earlier film together, The Guard, but that's also supposed to be quite good.
I tried to read it straight after Molloy a while back, but it was too much; Luke said something about trying to do all three back to back and it making him ill.
I reread the trilogy over summer and that was my conclusion. And also the inadvertent psychedelia of his writing. The anti euphoria of the bad trip.Just read The Unnamable.
Just read The Unnamable.
Yeah, pretty much. I first noticed it when I read Molloy and the sucking stones episode, which reminded me of a similar incident Id had with my own pockets when I was lost in a void, and again with Not I, that inescapable, relentless, terrifying monologue - but the unnamable is the ultimate form of it I think. Ofc, this is the language of madness, the untrammeled, unstoppable flow of relentless thought and emotion, malevolent consciousness, which is mirrored in the trauma of intense psychedelia and ego destruction.Heroic dose?

I remember it, I believe you saw the white light. I forgot to tell you on here, and I'll explain in more detail when I see you, but my friend told me, without me telling him what you told me, that he wanted to see the white light@catalog I may have mentioned my idiotic dose of thousands of mushrooms to you once, but the Beckett trilogy follows the same trajectory of the room falling away, stuck on a bed before all that exists is a white light with no you and no me...
My research suggests they stopped making them in UK, US and Europe a long time back... however, I understand that in South Africa they persisted with them as a prescription drug for a considerable while after that - I'm afraid that I don't know their present status and I've never had one.I'm watching wolf of Wall Street now. Has anyone ever had a quaalude or is it true they don't exist now @IdleRich
