Good morning, I need help with something I am writing, if you would be so kind as to share and boost. The quote below is taken from page 52 of The Art of Resident Evil 5 but need to verify if the text/translation is accurate, and if it is, ideally a photo of the English text.
The original Evil Dead trilogy is on the other side of Hard Boiled
Silence by Shūsaku Endō. Lots of theological/philosophical ideas to ponder. Apostasy and it's motivation/context and effects on individual faith and wider societal one. Validity of Japanese efforts to defend against Western cultural expansion via Christianity.
A new-to-me discovery was that game blogger PixelVixen707 aka Rachael Webster was actually an elaborate ARG orchestrated by Chris Dahlen who detailed it all for Kill Screen in 2011: web.archive.org/web/20111116...
Today's additions includes a healthy index of writing on Tale of Tales' The Path from 2009.
Most recent batch of additions are on Kitty Horrorshow's Anatomy from 2016, a game I was ignorant of until some recent digging.
Axel's Castle: A Study of the Imaginative Literature of 1870-1930 by Edmund Wilson. Chapters on Paul Valéry and James Joyce were the best. Valéry's doubles as humbling of him and a reassessment of Anatole France whom Valéry replaced at the Académie Française and denigrated in his induction speech.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. Just makes me hate the film from this year even more. Yearning and the lack of fulfillment from seeing it attained.
The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon. Book club selection on waste. Successfully transports you into an alternate world existing alongside our own thanks to word usage and the longest sentences I've ever read.
And Then? And Then? What Else? by Daniel Handler. Some shocking revelations about his personal life in this one.
The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. Selection for book club on adultery.
As is tradition I have forgotten to start a thread on books read in 2026 until May. 1st book: San Francisco: A Pageant by Charles Caldwell Dobie (1931). Picked up at a used bookstore in Sedona while on vacation with my wife. Lovely illustrations from E.H. Suydam.
Thinking of the very good film 49th Parallel (1941) today, specifically the comedy of Raymond Massey's, "I'm about as close to getting my hands on a real-live Jerry as I was at the beginning."
