Product Information

Wat zij daar uit leren en hoe ze dat proberen waar te maken is universeel en helder onder woorden gebracht. Sommige hoofdstukken smaken naar 'De meeste mensen deugen' van Rutger Bregman en andere weer naar 'This is water' van David Foster Wallace.

Mettertijd brokkelde de steun die ik in mijn alledaagse leven kreeg van hulplijnen ‘India’ en ‘This is water’ af. To me, this was a very superficial text riddled with commonplaces like “put down your phone, listen to the birds” when it could have been a lot more.

kunt kiezen om de dingen anders te zien; om van een verloren gewaand moment iets waardevol te maken. The only parts I found interesting (probably because they had some narrative cohesion and weren't just nebulous, jumbled streams of consciousness) were Tempest's own personal anecdotes, although these were generally brief and infrequent. While reading this I realised my numbness, how I suffered from it, how I staggered through my life, unaware of who I am, who I want to be, what my values are, if I live by what I think I believe. Dat de tijd afwisselend als het slijmspoor van een slak en de vleugelslag van een kolibrie kan tikken en jij zelf mee het tempo kunt bepalen.

Kae Tempest has added one more string to an already crowded bow: On Connection is the first nonfiction work by this Mercury prize-winning musician, Ted Hughes award-winning poet, acclaimed playwright, novelist, and chief creative chronicler of the last decade.Ha sido interesantísimo entrar en esta reflexión constante de quién soy y qué tanta atención pongo en la conexión con la gente que amo.

In this urgent and incisive pamphlet, Kae Tempest leads the reckoning against this system, placing our legacy in our own hands. In fact, when discussing connection, Tempest often refers to their live performances and the unique power they have to connect performer to audience member. Each chapter is prefaced by William Blake quotations, and it’s no wonder his writing appeals to Tempest: both artists’ work is concerned with tapping into something ancient and mythic. Nu lijkt het alsof ik bovenstaande levenshouding (die ongetwijfeld sporen van Zenboeddhisme, Stoïcisme en mindfulness bevat) ten gronde beheers.
