This is my backup plan!! I am paying an insane amount to try and get a copy from a second hand bookshop in Melbourne and I guess we’ll see if it comes? If I have to pay tariffs on this piece of shit I will be fuming

So now I’m hoping that there is someone with a shitty racist relative who is willing and able to steal/appropriate a copy for me? I will absolutely pay money because unfortunately this is necessary for my work. Help me??

I cannot find it on any secondhand book sites (which is a good thing!!) or in any libraries outside of Australia (which makes sense!!). I’ve read reviews but I need to see the real thing.

my friend @flyingghoti.bsky.social made this & if you’re in the middle of the very specific venn diagram necessary to appreciate it, it’s the funniest thing

doing this as a double feature with The Blue Lagoon (1980), what is wrong with me

I was prompted to watch this by Audrey Wollen’s review of The Forbidden Experiment by Roger Shattuck, about the real wild boy “Victor” and his teachers, in the latest Bookforum

Also it made Flo vicariously seasick lol

Thank you this is magnificent

sometimes the cannibalism is actual anthropophagy and sometimes it is a metaphor, but it’s always more than just a way of eating

focused on anglosphere settler societies across a broad geography and time, it’s partly a genealogy of settler horror and paranoia, and partly a study of colonial mass culture and the manufacture of consent to colonial violence.
