Genre, genre, genre, whole days go by when I am asked of nothing else, especially those moronic questions about horror that should have been swept out of civilized discourse at least thirty years ago: Tell us now, if you can, for we are really terribly curious about this, why is it, do you think, that reasonable people should pay good money to be, well, frightened? What, you know, can the a...

eX de Medici, Blue (Bower/Bauer) 1998-2000 In addition to the six new artists we feature daily, one of my goals has been to incorporate multimedia onto Escape into Life. Now you'll find art videos, movie trailers (relating to the arts), and short films. We try to keep it interesting. One such "find" is the brilliant interview with Francis Bacon. This issue is exceptional, if only for ...

A recent Pew survey revealed that the popularity of blogging among teens and young adults has declined dramatically from 28 percent to 14 percent from 2006 to 2009. While this wasn’t an exhaustive scientific study, it does reveal a trend that clearly shows that blogging is losing its luster with today’s younger generation. There are many factors that could have contributed to this drastic declin...

My first razor I got when I was fifteen. It consisted of two blades on a simple metal stick and I remember it gave me a really close and comfortable shave. In the twenty years that have passed since my first shave, I’ve used nine different models of razors. This morning I shaved myself with the Gillette Fusion Power Phantom , a rather heavy, yet ergonomically designed battery-powered razor that l...

Jacques-Louis David, Andromache Mourning Hector (1783) When Mark Kerstetter published an essay about Samuel Beckett in the last issue of Escape into Life, none of us expected to receive a comment from one of the authors he referenced. Morris Berman wrote, "This is a lovely website; I never noticed it before. And glad that my book was of some use to you." Shortly after, I emailed Berma...

The reading and writing of poetry and fiction is completely different today than it was ten or even five years ago. While we spent the past decade arguing over the ways new media have changed journalism, the way we read and talk about creative work has completely changed without nearly so much fanfare. Simply put, the participatory nature of the Internet has made it not only easy, but nearly effor...

For a while now, I’ve tried to think of an apt analogy for the relationship between writers and editors; the best thing I’ve come up with so far is this: writers are to editors as Scarlett O’Hara is to Rhett Butler–the former, passionate to the point of temporary blindness; the latter, surefooted and collected, all the while attempting pragmatism, though it must be passion, in the end, that drives...

I. Art & Life
If you’re like me, your year-end mail and email are filled with requests for charitable giving. As I consider all the different organizations pleading their cause, I realize that they are basically divided between two types of missions: artistic and social.
For many years I worked as a grant writer and fundraising consultant for nonprofit organizations. I started out worki...

About a year ago, when I was planning to build my current desktop computer, I wrote a number of essays where I talk about the issues of image storage. None of the options where ideal , and so I went for the simplest, which was to upgrade my internal RAID 1 pair with higher capacity drives. I don't shoot every day or keep everything I shoot, so while my library grows, I'm not the kind of shooter l...

While not all web worker are freelancers, a good portion of them are — and a freelance lifestyle is part of the appeal of working from home. The fact is, working as an independent contractor is not all wine and roses. Personally, I wouldn’t have it any other way, but there are some key facts people should consider before leaving more permanent work situations for the freelance world.

Mark Vernon argues against atheism and belief
I used to be a priest in the Church of England. Then - to cut a long story short - a few years later, I left, an atheist. The transition came about partly as a result of disillusionment with the church and its conflicts over issues in sexuality and gender; and partly, at a more intellectual level, because I started to read humanist philosophers. Th...

Daniel Frampton takes a filmosophical view of David Lynch
Inland Empire (BFI Collection) There seems to be some confusion about what David Lynch’s Inland Empire is about. While some reviewers at the time of its release attempted some form of interpretation, most simply summarised as best they could and hurriedly moved on. The film – unsettling, confusing, hilarious, affecting, powerful fi...

Casey O’Callaghan listens very carefully…
A familiar truism holds that humans are visual creatures. We look before crossing busy roads, appreciate visual arts, and read texts. The language used to discuss perception – appearances, looks, images – often is explicitly visual. To a great extent, we rely on sight, and a vast amount of the human brain is engaged in visual processing. Philosophica...

A legtöbben kétséget kizáróan érvelnek az egyik vagy másik mellett, pedig gyerekként sokan mindkettőt megették. Aztán történik valami, aminek hatására inkább választják az éhségsztrájkot, mint a sóskát vagy éppen a spenótot. Mi lehet az oka ennek a nagy ellenszenvnek? Miért nem adnak egy újabb esélyt a két ártatlan zöldségnek?

That's one reason I have a "review everything I read" policy. On the other hand, what do I do about books I abandoned? I can't properly review them. Maybe that's what Buzz is for.
