Father and child stumble across a nuclear desert avoiding contact with what remains of humanity. The landscape is gray, ashy and oppressive, colors survive only in dreams, or on the surface of a coke can skipped by looters. And from landscape, McCarthy lyrically diverts to hallucinated concerns on mankind. Occasionally I had to shut down the book, due to the anguish and pity overwhelming me: protect the child, because if he dies, life has no meaning at all.</description><pubDate>Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:49:11 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Crack International Comix Festival</title><link>http://crack.forteprenestino.net</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 Apr 2008 15:55:57 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The Silence of the Bass Guitar</title><link>http://www.digitalkomix.com/pikaboo/bass/bass.htm</link><description>Finally I saw &quot;The Future is Unwritten&quot;, a documentary by Julien Temple on Joe Strummer, leader of The Clash. As a fan, the movie often touched my heart, as a man it made me question: &quot;Where am I at?&quot; But one thing, maybe more than Joe Strummer's loss, left me highly disturbed: the silence of the bass player, Paul Simonon. I've always admired him, because he was handsome, cool and tender, clumsy in his first performances, classy later on. A hard worker, a classmate rather than an elder brother like Strummer. His absence in the movie seems to endure the hostile atmosphere that poisoned the backstage as The Clash disrupted. Beyond death. I saw Joe and Paul play toghether twice in Rome, mid eighties and mid nineties. Second time they performed &quot;Straight to Hell&quot;, one of my favourite tunes (I used it as a lullaby to put my daughter asleep!). In that moment, they were playing for me.</description><pubDate>Fri, 18 Apr 2008 11:25:09 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>shrinkIKEA</title><link>http://www.digitalkomix.com/images/ikea/shrinkikea.htm</link><description>IKEA products are undergoing an interesting shrinking process.

Clarke</title><link>http://www.digitalkomix.com/pikaboo/clarke/clarke.htm</link><description>Last week (19 March) Sir Arthur C. Clarke performed his final lift off and now probably occupies a geo-stationary orbit above the Indian Ocean. He was widely known for writing &quot;2001, a Space Odyssey&quot;, but I prefer his early works, rock solid, hardcore sci-fi like &quot;Prelude to Space&quot;, &quot;Shadows on the Moon&quot;, &quot;Islands in the Sky&quot;.</description><pubDate>Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:20:11 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Commander</title><link>http://www.digitalkomix.com/pikaboo/commander/commander.htm</link><description>I like homemade carnival disguises.
