Dzisiejsza radość ma twardą oprawę i nazywa się „Riddley Walker”. Dziękuję @artragepl.bsky.social za tak piękne wydanie klasyki Hobana. Zaczynam lekturę i już czuję, że to będzie mocna rzecz. 💪📖📚
Ktoś z Was ma już za sobą tę podróż przez zniszczony świat?

You've started something now, I just went for the book I've never managed to get through (not because it's rubbish, but because my brain can't handle it.) IT'S GONE? what have I done with it?

Every so often I’ve begged folks to PLEASE read this prescient book #RiddleyWalker, from 1980.
PLEASE, without delay
I am today years old learning that the guy who wrote post-apocalyptic sf classic #RiddleyWalker also wrote those cute books about Frances the baby badger.
I just followed a bunch of folks who have posted about #riddleywalker … fellow book cult members, I assume. #booksky 💙📚💙🖋️💙🖋️📚🖋️
It's easy to join a cult when we're talking about a cult novel. All you have to do is read it, appreciate it, and you're in! #riddleywalker 📚💙📚🖋️💙🖋️ #booksky

"She said, 'Its some kind of thing it aint us but yet its in us. Its looking out thru our eye hoals.'" It sure is. Jesus what a book. #riddleywalker #russellhoban
Mournings 🤗
#Mutants! 🥰
Enjoy! 😄
#RiddleyWalker brings us full circle back to #Threads except the latter posits an iron age society emerging within a few decades of a total #nuclear war while Riddley Walker portrays the same thing just 2000 years in the #future.

An astonishing book. I passed it to the boy last night and he’s devouring it. Or Arga Warga-ing it. #RiddleyWalker #RussellHoban #Books
“ #RiddleyWalker is one of those #books that awoke in me a total fascination with #dystopian and #post-apocalyptic titles. It is set a couple of thousand years in the future, following a #nuclearwar …” fivebooks.com/best-books/f... #20CenturyClassics
So excited that this event is finally ready to be announced! Looking forward to it. #Hoban100 #RiddleyWalker
Not strictly speaking on my reading list this year, but it has been mentioned now...genies back in bottles and all that... #RiddleyWalker #RussellHoban
If we were playing Desert Island Books (as opposed to discs) it would be the one book I would keep when the others had to be washed away. #RiddleyWalker #RussellHoban
I dunno who’s gonna get this but I’m getting big #RiddleyWalker vibes from my rewatch of #StationEleven…
@daveawl.bsky.social will be on the upcoming episode of YMIS, which drops January 19th, to talk about HIS most interesting story... which does indeed involve Russell Hoban. Stay tuned! #RussellHoban #Hoban100 #truestories #turtlediary #RiddleyWalker
I was just this moment thinking of #RiddleyWalker, and then there was your post
So, this year’s Fourth World Congress of Psychography moved to Canterbury. I gotta ask: did anyone at #4WCOP mention #RiddleyWalker, Cambry/ Canterbury, & the legend of Saint Eustace?
I finished my annual reread of #RiddleyWalker, yesterday--just in time to beat the my self-imposed deadline. Its power grows with every fresh reading.
(While it is a perfect, brilliant book, I would like to see a sequel, from the POV of Lorna or another woman in the setting.)
“… Sit a wyl and res easy why dont you. Then when youre sitting on them theywl talk and theywl tel if you lissen.” #RiddleyWalker (2/2)
“Stoans want to be lissent to. Them big brown stoans in the formers feal they want to stan up and talk like men. Some times youwl see them lying on the groun with ther humps and hollers theywl say to you, …” #RiddleyWalker (1/2)
“O what we ben! And what we come to!” #RiddleyWalker, chapter 12.
“Wel you know 1ce the kids start singing at you thats a cern kynd of track youre on not there aint too much you can do about it. Making the kids stop singing wont help its too late by then youve just got to clinch your teef and get on with it.” #RiddleyWalker chapter 10, #RussellHoban
Ouch.
Cover of Tribe 8 first edition.
Cover of Tribes in the Dark.
Reading #RiddleyWalker, seeing the trailer for #28YearsLater, remembering the old children’s film #DarkEnemy, & I am now thinking of the Dreampod 9 TTRPG #Tribe8 & #TribesInTheDark.
How did I forget to tag this with #RiddleyWalker? Trubba not!
“I dint want no woodlings cleart there I jus wantit that place lef the way it ben. I tol my self never mynd but I myndit.” #RiddleyWalker, chapter 5.
