Graceland | The Stinging Fly
He bought the tickets and descended the marble stairway with his daughter. She was two years old and had to hang from his hand taking each of the big steps. She swung down with her right foot first, then with her left to the same level, over and over, until they reached the basement floor. Now they were underwater. Sharks and sturgeon and stingrays and carp and pike freeze-framed behind diorama glass. Something like sunlight flickered down through dark waves.
Gloria and Max - The Stinging Fly
February 2015 and Max Haynes had been in Northern Ireland for just under two months: long enough to know its limitations. Those presented themselves within two days, such as the cultural quarter of Belfast that consisted of a single street. He was there as visiting professor of film until July. But now he was in his car and driving to a place in the middle of nowhere. There was to be a local film festival in some godforsaken spot and he had been roped in to attending a planning meeting.
Memorials - The Stinging Fly
The body can translate into any language. A jump, a twist midair, the conviction of feet returning to ground: they are impressive wherever he goes. So it is a simple pleasure to do this, an art that requires both intense concentration and a peaceful emptiness of mind. It is also a way to keep warm in a country where the wind is acrobatic enough to throw rain in every possible and impossible direction. Djiu Be Fu is popular.
The Page As Existence
If it’s not your voice, it’s the voice of death. —Gordon Lish 1 Whenever a writer starts anew, they face the white space of the empty page, the white screen. There is an absolute freedom in this moment.
