Ana is a 56 year old woman from Stockholm, Sweden

I am a writer and a journalist. I like conversations and whispers, not much images but suggestions, hints, the perception and the guess more than the statement of a truth. My friends define me as a cultural relativist. I don't feel myself as "belonging". Freelance catholic, freelance anarchist but definitely a humanist struggling for dialog and for meaningfull encounters.

    Shostakovich was a Russian musician and composer and he lived in Russia when Russia was the Sovjet Union. His relation with Stalin was complicated. Nobody could make Art in the country without chose sides in a struggle between the Art as an independent expression of the freedom of the spirit and the use of the Art as a political tool. In Samizdada, an interesting blog, the discussion is passionated and witty.

  • Of Men, Women, Essays, and Cannibals | GOOD

    Rated Oct 20 2008 • 1 review • literature, blog, essays • good.is




    Excellent blog about literature and philosophy, in my favorite magazine, GOOD magazine.

    "In "On Cannibals" Montaigne describes the sixteenth-century European reaction to encounters with the New World. Through his introduction to a cannibal, he comes to better understand Renaissance European mores: "Each man calls barbarism whatever is not his own practice," he writes, and later, "I think there is more barbarity in eating a man alive than in eating him dead..in roasting a man bit by bit, in having him bitten and mangled by dogs and swine (as we have not only read but seen within fresh memory, not among ancient enemies, but among neighbors and fellow citizens, and what is worse, on the pretext of piety and religion), than in roasting and eating him after he is dead."

    Montaigne speculates, snickers, pontificates. He ends his essay, absurdly, with this line: "They don't wear breeches" (and sends the reader off to check out what he has to say about thumbs.)

    Back to my point (one is required to ramble when writing about Montaigne). If non-fiction has been divvied up between boys and girls, and the girls are left with the essay, must those essays always be so resolutely personal? So small?"

    Adidas conceptstore in Berlin, a clever way to use the city's anarchistic grafitts as canvas and decoration. I should wish the politicians of my hometown Stockholm could learn a bit! They carry a dumb and sad crusade against the grafitti artists.

    The war diary of a English soldier in the World War l, moving lecture!



    To completely understand Harry's experiences, may I also recommend that readers follow the Battalion's War Diary explaining the situation of the 1,000 or so men that made up the 9th Battalion York & Lancaster Regiment. There is a link at the top left of the blog.

    The comments received are very much appreciated and very welcome. I've collected them together in a separate blog, also linked from the top of this page. In there, I've attempted to answer any questions that readers have posed. B.L.

    Sunday, December 30
    Letters to Kate and Jack

    TWO letters written on Sunday 30th December 1917. The Battalion's War Diary records only that there was a church parade on that day, so he would have had the time to write. Reminder, the days in 1917 match 2007 so the 30th December was a Sunday for Harry also.

    Dear Kate

    I have received a letter from you and was very pleased, it is such a long time since I had one. I have not received the parcel yet and I hope it will come I am ready for it I think parcels will reach us all right after Christmas. It is very cold at night but in the daytime it is alright. I hope you got home for Christmas and found them well and enjoyed your holiday. Did you get the card I sent you. I have had a letter from Jack he's getting on alright, I am pleased to hear it. I hope Connie is better when you receive this letter. Let me know how Willie is if you happen to get home. Has Annie been to see Jack since he got married. Ethel said she was very likely going after Christmas. Glad you are getting on alright at Leeds but I did not expect you would like it the same as London. I hope you have had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Write back as soon as possible and let me know how you are all going on

    With love from Harry
