More than a decade before the Czech playwright Karel Capek coined the word "robot", there was Tik-Tok.
"Dorothy and other characters repeatedly question whether Tik-Tok is, in fact, alive."

Alan Sharp (1934–2013) is remembered today as a screenwriter, the author of classic Hollywood movies such as Ulzana’s Raid (1972) & Night Moves (1975), as well as the 1995 film Rob Roy, starring Liam Neeson. But his writing career began with the award-winning – & taboo-breaking – novel A GREEN TREE IN GEDDE. Still controversial, it is nevertheless “a flagship of 1960s Scottish prose”. Order now!

#OTD in 1752 Frances Burney was born. She "was a novelist, diarist and playwright. In all, she wrote four novels, eight plays, one biography and twenty-five volumes of journals and letters. She has gained critical respect in her own right, but she foreshadowed such novelists of manners with a satirical bent as Jane Austen and William Makepeace Thackeray."

Burney at PG:
'i stood on a hill in jerusalem today, looking over the border, the arab-israeli border. there is really something frightening about it. there is something insane about it, something which breaks the heart.'
i love james baldwin - today & every day. he is so necessary.

I'm looking for more geography accounts and literature accounts to follow. Any suggestions?
He blinks upon the hearth-rug,

#art #history: when asked, in 1970, by australian journalist, richard carleton, why the PFLP didn't engage in negotiations with the israeli state, ghassan kanafani (esteemed author & a leading figure of palestine's marxist resistance) explained that to do so would be 'a kind of conversation between the sword & the neck'. ghassan *should have* celebrated his 90th birthday yesterday, but he was assassinated by mossad in 1972.
