The Gospel of Goscinny: K Narayanan on why he keeps returning to the world of the Asterix comics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I read my first Asterix when I was in Class 3. I had been taken to visit an aunt. I dreaded these visits, because most of the relatives we went visiting were much older. (Almost everyone was much older; I was, after all, seven years old.) This aunt had a son of about 10, so it wasn’t as bad. Unfortunately, on that day, my cousin wasn’t home. Tired of fidgeting while the adults discussed the ailments and scandals of the extended family, I finally went scouting among his books, and found a copy of
The little Gaul that could: How Asterix creator Rene Goscinny changed the world of comics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Rene Goscinny died in 1977, the French newspaper Le Monde carried an obituary on the front page. He was to comic books what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, what Balzac is to the French novel—in a word, what Obelix is to Asterix, it said. Goscinny had been working with long-time collaborator Albert Uderzo on Asterix in Belgium (1979). Open the album and one can tell exactly at what point he passed. The skies are dark in every panel after. The man who repeatedly referred to himself as a mere en
Scream therapy: 10 Stephen King adaptations you probably haven’t watched – and should (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are 10 lesser-known Stephen King adaptations gathered here, films that rarely make the “best-of” lists next to The Shining or It, but that circle the same wounds from different angles. These are tales of loss, guilt, memory, the catastrophe of consequence. The discovery that corruption and delusion can live quietly inside an ordinary person. And the question of what a person owes the people they love, when a monster turns up at the door. Richard Dees, a ruthless reporter for a sensationali
The It guy: What makes Stephen King’s horror so memorable? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Stephen King has been writing for a long time. His first story, I Was a Teenage Grave Robber, was published 61 years ago, in 1965. His first novel, the bestselling Carrie, was released in 1974; he was 26 years old. In his memoir, On Writing (2000), he described his routine as 2,000 words a day, every day. King is now 78. He has written 66 novels / novellas, over 200 short stories, and five non-fiction works (dealing largely with elements of horror). Stacked on top of each other, they’d reach the
Shots heard around the world : 200 years since the first-ever photograph (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs,” the American essayist Susan Sontag wrote, in 1977. “A way of certifying experience, taking photographs is also a way of refusing it—by limiting experience to a search for the photogenic, by converting experience into an image, a souvenir.” The camera has, for centuries, been something of a disruptor. But it started out quite differently: as the science of understanding how certain chemicals and materials responded to light. When Frenchman
