Culture thoughts: recent reading, listening and viewing

The Vivisector, by Patrick White
As I said to the friend who recommended this: I can see why White is forgotten. Self-evidently great. Alarming.

Wish I Was Here, by M. John Harrison
An 'anti-memoir'. More proof that Harrison should be hailed as one of Britain's best living writers, this, among other things, riotously funny book .

Mountain in the Clouds, by Miroslav Vitous

Old Light, by Nova Scotia
I have no idea what was going on in Wellington, of all places, when this was recorded, nor why. I am glad it was, though.

Juste une illusion, dirs. Olivier Nakache & Eric Toledano.
Moving.
