§ I. In T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land (1922), a society decays while humanity turns upon itself in the name of industry. Even that most rudimentary characteristic of human nature and existence, sexual love, is reduced to a type of capitalist transaction of   ‘automated’ experience.   It is a lasting impression of humanity at its lowest and most fallible point. However, despite Eliot’s reactionary portrayal of the spiritual and cultural death of western society, The Waste Land is not without hope or redemption. Indeed, in the knowledge that the text itself will generate wisdom, through the process of understanding and interpretation, there is a certain degree of optimism present. Modernism (particularly Modernist writing) was essentially a search for absolutes, or fundamental truths, about human existence and experience.

Jamie's Darker Side of Nonsense.: In The Spotlight: William Cook : October 20th, 2011 In The Spotlight: William Cook It is with absolute pleasure that I present to you an interview with an outstanding writer and artist, William Cook. For a long time now I have been a fan of his artwork; I discovered him a few years ago while surfing the net and have kept tabs on him since. Recently however, I found him on a social networking site and we have become friends. When I found out he was releasing a novel, I knew I had to be the one to interview him. So here he is. The one, the only William Cook! Introduce yourself, William. My name is William Cook and I’m a writer from New Zealand.

More sneak peaks at the origins of 'Blood Related' Throughout the book you will find these adages referenced to some degree. Inescapable truths about the evil of humanity. The degree to which some of us can go, parasitic hominid but essentially as those who have come before, right back to the ocean, the shallow end of the gene-pool. After all, in some ways we are all Blood Related. Food for thought. 'Kill a man, and you are an assassin. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror. Kill everyone, and you are a god.' - Jean Rostand For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak With most miraculous organ.  - William Shakespeare Source:  Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at II, ii) The very emphasis of the commandment: Thou shalt not kill, makes it certain that we are descended from an endlessly long chain of generations of murderers, whose love of murder was in their blood as it is perhaps also in ours. - Sigmund Freud It takes two to make a murder...
