Taking its stylistic cues from the movement, Richard Linklater’s ‘Nouvelle Vague’ charts the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s ‘Breathless’. Newcomer Guillaume Marbeck is an uncanny Godard, given to dispensing epigrams, but brittle & uncertain too, & pic fizzes with that era’s playfulness & mischief

Bit of self-promotion: I have published a commentary on a selection of Martial's epigrams, so if you are a Latin teacher/instructor...or a fan of having Latin grammar and rhetorical devices analyzed...feel free to check it out.

Interesting new, open access article in Greece & Rome blends epigraphy, poetry on stone (Greek epigrams), and tracing ethnicity:
“Dying Greek in Rome: Greek Funerary Epigrams from Imperial Rome” www.cambridge.org/core/journal... I love this: ‘κάλλος δ’ αὖ μετὰ μοῖραν Ἀμαζόνος ἔσχεν ἄπιστον’

2026 Reading 57: Funeral in Berlin by Len Deighton. Another sick-bed read – and perfectly judged, in that I can blame my inability to understand what *exactly* happened in the tricksy, double-crossy, fake-identity espionage plot on my flu-addled state, even when it’s actually explained at the end.

Thank you Myron. These talks are so helpful! I know when I saw the epigrams at the beginning that this is going to be a tough read. I’m only reading a sample at the moment…

Not to mention epigrams which can be powerful AF. Stephen Crane was an under rated genius with his succinct criticisms of war and religion. They list these lines as poems but Crane himself denied being a poet.

OK, I think I have twitter figured out. I am just going to tweet Martial's epigrams. No-one will realise and I will totally look witty.

Continuing this week's theme of periodically opening a book (a bilingual collection of Goethe's poetry) instead of a new tab when I need a work distraction, and, uh....👀.
Always fun to see a blunt reminder that salaciousness isn't a new invention. Wonder what Goethe would have made of WAP.
