Who but modern master of outrage Clive Barker could create a poetic homage to the transgressive popular art of past master of scandalous effrontery Edward Gorey, as exemplified in his 1963 "children's alphabet book," The Gashlycrumb Tinies? Barker continues to carry aloft Gorey's deliciously dark banner of contrarian delights with his own Alphabet, which records the unfortunate happenstances befalling a motley collection of unfortunate souls.

I'm familiar with this. First build a first-class spiritual field, sprinkle a handful of rapeseeds, and harvest a basket full of small greens the next day.Then upgrade to a second-level spiritual field, insert a few strawberry seedlings, and you can produce a new variety of milk-flavored varieties.Later, he researched the third-level spiritual field and planted cherry trees, and the little cherries had healing effects, and flew to her bedside with small wings.Other people's families broke their heads for a handful of berries, but she pounded strawberry jam in the small villa, and her small life was very leisurely.In the last days, many small animals were injured and wandered, and her heart softened, so she first picked up a wet plush, and then rescued a crying little spirit grass, and put it at home to take care of it carefully.However, in the forest, many plush smelled that Chu Shuang had soft rice to eat here, and immediately boiled!

Maradona has died

Postcards for an Apocryphal GospelHow does one write a life after death? From where does one narrate the life of someone who is no longer? How are the feats of one who exists only in memory sung? How are these questions answered when the absent one is (or was) a D10s? These are the questions that seem to traverse Nicolás Guglielmetti's tenth book. Questions that, from the uncertainty that passion brings once tempers have cooled, and from the technical recovery of a poetic from the nineties, seek to be answered by addressing the greatest number of facets, facing the myth in its very complexity, and dodging (if I may be allowed the verb) between devotion, controversy, and the images with which pagans attack. Thus, then, Guglielmetti, bifurcates, duplicates, becomes a self and also another. He writes, on one hand, as a narrator: as a biographer who collects postcards, scenes of Maradona seen in the third person, from the eyes of his faithful, of his devotees, who remained with the memory of his passage on this earth, repeating the prayer of his miracles, carefully guarding the scattered talismans and concealing the blood proximity of his descendants and relatives. These texts are also those of the public scene, of bars, beaches, fields, and, of course, newspapers and television.
