Names, names, names. Col des Moulinets, Graz-Burya, Rostov, Lubyanka, Prague, Lidice. ベンシヤーン and his Lidice poster, at the 1970 exhibition at the Hiroshima Prefectural Museum of Arts. It’s good to have stories connect in this way, since I don’t presently self-select to hear about those atrocities as creative nonfiction. Así se deje cantar las historias, además en la poesía con sus colores concretos. Too, in the TTRPG space where names and locations, historical or mythological, gain provenance in lived experience: case in point, Regency intrigue in the feywild in 2023. In the nexus between roleplay comedy and fictional espionage, there’s a preoccupation with the “perfect performance,” which as a working musician I’ve renounced for my sanity. Maybe I’m wrong.
