Eve Sedgwick, 1997

understandable but also v. poignant that Clarke is incapable of foreseeing how deftly neoliberalism was about jujitsu flip this kind of attack on the British class system too

(the teen melodrama, the intimations of military-industrial misdeeds, the landscapes with cthonic power instinct, the absurd/macabre pop-psychedelic setpieces - it's all here in this <90min 1974 UK teleplay!)

(but then we're talking about a pundit class that, despite all the evidence that MAGA's invocations of free speech were always rankly opportunistic, remain so wedded to liberal ideals of Robust Public Debate that they'll canonise a Kirk, so they're not that hard to bamboozle ig)

Thanks for making such great games! Hohokum is another personal fave

hoping we might also get a chance to mention Slitterhead, Maken X and/or Shenmue II - still, to my knowledge, the only virtual HK to feature a rooftop canary vendor called Pet Shop Birdy Birds, run by a manic pixie Red Hot Chilli Peppers fan

ooh, adding Correction to my list... No idea how Old Masters is supposed to rank with Bernheads, but it _does_ have the distinction of being the one LibrariesWest has a copy of

literally ordered this from the library yesterday on the basis of Hervé Guibert's blazingly OTT declaration of his hate/love for Bernhard lol....

The book itself apparently touches down in a couple of months (vicissitudes of the proofing process permitting…)
