THANK YOU 💕💕

Our 10th conference is done and dusted and we couldn’t be happier. A huge thank you from the organisers to everyone who presented, listened, discussed, laughed, and raged about the state derivation debate 🫶

Keep an eye on our channels for information about next year’s conference!!

Is this the best opening to a movie EVER? Look at those cows, but also: look at that camera movement!

But also and mainly: Read the novel AND watch Bela Tarr's adaption of it, 7 1/2 hours and not a minute or a second too long

I have written about Satantango, his masterpiece, in the article "Destroying necessity with necessity – on László Krasznahorkai’s Satantango" (www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....) - I will be happy to share a pdf!

okay, if Pynchon did not win, but it is okay, László Krasznahorkai is a good choice too
