A Trip to the Museum of Neoliberalism
I went out all the way to fucking Lewisham to see this art piece/museum by the wonderful Darren Cullen. A great little spot if you’re ever down Lewisham way!
it's happy bunny: What's Your Sign? - Jim Benton
It is highly critical of astrology so true believers should only pick this up if they are the kind of people who can laugh at themselves from time to time. Despite the high amount of sarcasm present the message that your fate is in your own hands isn't necessarily an unhappy one. The star sign descriptions were accurate to everyone I tested. For example, the Aquarius disliked being lonely bored, and lied to (just like everyone else) exactly as the book indicated and the compatibility chart was likely truthful when it predicted that no matter what sign you had a relationship with you'd probably "fight sometimes". This book is probably most fun with a group where you pass it around to check one another's star signs and read everyone's palms. The art is very loud and bright so this could also work as a talking piece: a coffee table book, propped upright on a shelf, etc.
The Roman Guide to Slave Management: A Treatise by Nobleman Marcus Sidonius Falx - Jerry Toner
This review is based on an advanced reading copy. I freely confess that my fatal flaw is curiosity. This can usually be worked around in my daily life, even if can be occasionally irritating (I can't leave a book unfinished) so once I saw the title and had to know: what could the purpose of such a book possibly be? Was it just a translation of some old Roman text or some kind of academic exercise? It turns out the answer is satire. It could probably work as an academic resource about slavery in Rome because the author explains the sources he used to extrapolate what the common attitude towards slaves would have been as well as how they are believed to have lived (how they worked, were sold etc).
As satire, I assume humor or a moral lesson though the idea that the world might need reminding that slavery is evil makes me want to just lie down and give up on humanity. The foreword by Mary Beard challenges the reader to notice the parallels between the institution of slavery and the exploitation of "wages-slaves" - both people reduced to mere assets. The book ends on a brief admonishment to the reader to not pat themselves on the back for being better than Falx because there are more people enslaved today than the Romans ever managed. Granted it did set me to thinking about at least donating the price of the book to an anti-trafficking organization, but it felt a bit abrupt and I was surprised to not find any books on slavery in the modern world or even a recommended charity in the further reading section given that particular mic drop.
As to the writing; I liked the formula of hearing from Falx and then hearing Toner "translate" it for the "barbarians" by contextualizing what we heard. Toner's interpretations clarified where modern ideals (the idea of universal human dignity) would not have been present to inform Falx's understanding of the world (though I did notice an anachronism or two slip into Falx's speech). Additionally, Toner's commentary was a welcome break in-between the sickening things Falx's discusses (sexual abuse, torture, freedom being neither free nor absolute, etc) as natural. However that the commentary was followed by an explanation of where the author found the information for each chapter was jarring and messed up my suspension of disbelief. It also gave the book a feeling of someone trying to prove their bonafides. The use of anecdotes about his friends' experiences and the various comparisons between slavery in Greece and in Rome (smacking of regional rivalries that happen irl ala New Zealand and Australia or the sides of the Pond) and his being somewhat pompous in his delivery of his treatise added to Falx's authenticity as a narrator.
Fair warning. The book doesn't do anything like explain in detail the torture that comes up (though stuff like having an eye poked out or being threatened with being eaten alive by an animal comes up), but it can be gross just the same to read someone who purports to so thoroughly buy into the de-humanization of other people. I definitely know more now than before I read this (and not even all about slavery but about stuff Roman beliefs about dreams), but I can't really say I recommend this as a pleasure read.
