Book review: Chronicles Of A Liquid Society, by Umberto Eco

07 Dec 2017 11:48 Living by the Sword

Umberto Eco died in 2016, and this book was published in Italy under the title Papé Satàn Aleppe in the same year. The original title (the English one is the subtitle in the Italian) refers to a very ambiguous line in Dante that no-one really understands.

Book review: Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier, by Mark Frost

07 Dec 2017 11:04 Living by the Sword

My cultural highlight of the year has been David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks: The Return. Prior to the 18-hour televisual epic starting, Frost released The Secret History Of Twin Peaks, a neat recap with a few Easter eggs.

Book review: The Good Pilot Peter Woodhouse, by Alexander McCall Smith

06 Dec 2017 10:54 Living by the Sword

Book review: Poverty Safari by Darren McGarvey

05 Dec 2017 12:00 Living by the Sword

Readers of The Scotsman have come to know Darren McGarvey as an unusually scrupulous columnist, one who argues with himself as much as with anyone else. His columns are often exploratory; it’s his own response to experience that he is exploring.

Theatre review: The Arabian Nights, Royal Lyceum, Edinburgh

04 Dec 2017 10:37 Living by the Sword

Seven years ago this month the death of a street vendor in Tunisia, who’s stall was confiscated by the authorities, triggered the wave of rebellions known as the Arab Spring. So there is a powerful resonance...

Comedy review: Scottish Comedian of the Year

02 Dec 2017 09:00 Living by the Sword

The 12th instalment of this competition hinted that the barrel of Scottish comedy may have run close to dry, featuring several former finalists and two previous winners. Contrary to previous years though...

Art reviews: Hidden Gems at Edinburgh City Art Centre | The Scottish Portrait Awards 2017

30 Nov 2017 11:03 Living by the Sword

The Scottish Modern Art Association was set up in 1906 to support living artists. The Association bought carefully and well until 1959 when the dream of a dedicated gallery of modern art was finally about to be realised.

Swords in the stone of Fort St Angelo

27 Nov 2017 07:38 Times of Malta

If you associate fencing with the Olympic sport and immediately think of the foil, épée and sabre, think again. Over the weekend, 22 associations from 13 countries converged at Fort St Angelo, using some very different kind of weapons.

Dundee Mountain Film Festival starts a new debate with its art show

22 Nov 2017 13:09 Living by the Sword

It hardly needs stating that the so-called “new nature writing” is a literary phenomenon – it has been putting broad smiles on publishers’ faces for about a decade now, and shows no sign of losing momentum.

Book review: The Imposter, By Javier Cercas

22 Nov 2017 10:18 Living by the Sword

Enric Marco was one of the most famous men in Spain. As President of the “Amical de Mauthausen”, an association of Spanish survivors of the Nazi camps, he spoke eloquently about the evils of Fascism. In...

Art review: Ages of Wonder: Scotland’s Art 1540 to Now, Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh

21 Nov 2017 14:34 Living by the Sword

The Scottish Academy was founded in 1826, but the rival and better connected Royal Institution for the Promotion of the Fine Arts succeeded in blocking this bunch of mere artists in their quest for official status.

Book review: First Person, by Richard Flanagan

15 Nov 2017 10:34 Living by the Sword

Some novelists are “putters-in”, others “takers-out”. The former drench you with incident and information, and work on a big canvas; the latter value economy, both of words and effects. The alert reader, noting the word “drench”, will recognise which I prefer.

Book review: Icebreaker - A Voyage Far North, by Horatio Clare

15 Nov 2017 10:28 Living by the Sword

Great stories can sometimes be found in the unlikeliest places. This book came about when the author and journalist Horatio Clare was contacted by an old schoolfriend, Pekka Isosomppi, who was working in the press office at the Finnish Embassy in London.
