only the English could blame Catholicism for the Turkish rule in Europe #RebeccaWest
I often summarize English lit as 'stories about how the English hate the French', I could easily replace the French with Catholicism

B-Sides: Rebecca West’s “The Fountain Overflows” - Public Books Do you find child narrators–their perceptiveness as well as their misprisions, their loyalties, their prejudices–endlessly absorbing?

« The Fountain Overflows (1956) [...] is a tour de force of child narration, able to capture the child’s ability simultaneously to normalize difficult circumstances and to convey awareness of the unconventional chaos of her life. » www.publicbooks.org/b-sides-rebe...

Gideon Lewis-Kraus on Rebecca West’s “The Crown Versus William Joyce” The writer took on the trial of Lord Haw-Haw, a British Fascist who became a mouthpiece for the Nazis, and who prefigured the reactionary toadyism of our own era.

( #RebeccaWest) was merciless with the poor jurors as well: “though they were drawn from different ranks of life, there is no rank of life in which middle-aged English people are other than puffy or haggard.” www.newyorker.com/magazine/tak...

Beginnings at the End of Love: Rebecca West’s Extraordinary Love Letter to H.G. Wells in the Wake of Heartbreak “I am always at a loss when I meet hostility, because I can love and I can do practically nothing else.”

This is, without doubt, one of the finest letters ever written. Rebecca West opening an absolutely can of whoop ass over H.G.Wells. It's devastatingly flawless
Please read it and marvel

CORDERO NEGRO Y HALCÓN GRIS, de #RebeccaWest (en Reino de Redonda)

Esta obra, trágica y sublime por igual, es un libro de viajes por los Balcanes, después de que sus diferentes pueblos hubiesen formado el muro que frenó a los turcos ante Europa y antes de masacrarse entre sí.

They are Turks who were settled there after the battle of Kossovo, who have remained what the Ataturk would not permit Turks to be any longer. They are what a people must become if it suspends all intellectual life and concentrates on the idea of conquest. #Blacklambandgreyfalcon #RebeccaWest

Finished last night - thanks KM for leading #BlackLamb24 ! Parting quote: "...art gives us hope that history may change its spots and man become honourable. What is art? It is not decoration. It is the re-living of experience. ...It must not be copied, it must be remembered...." #art #RebeccaWest
