“L’arrivée à L’Endroit des Cafés Morts”

by Paul O'DONOVAN

Hi all,

The pain is the back has gone so I now am physically operational , as well as the printer. Nevertheless I am late again for this report, as I have had a thousand things to do at the same time.

I am leaving Burgundy as the place is a dead end for work, so have to do all the usual things in the circumstance : finding a new house, job, etc. somewhere else, which is now found.

As a result, I am leaving my house in Coulanges. In case some of you are interested to spend some holidays in the place, I can lend it before stopping the rent, which is 380 euros per month. If some want to help for moving my stuff, they are welcome. J

 

Erratum :

 

In the previous report, I wrote about a text called “Last letter of Yage” which Anthony Rousseau  had sent me, asking me to translate it. He sent another mail explaining that he wrote it for a video he is going to make. But this second mail went to my spams file in Outlook, I do not know for which reason, so I missed it, and found it several days after, when emptying the contents of the spams file.

So in case some of you would have thought about an unknown text by Burroughs, this is not so.

 

Margaras (Marigay) The White Cat has passed on :

 

Roger Holden sent me this mail about Butch, a cat Burroughs had given to him and which had feline leukemia :

 

Izzy,
It is my sad task to report to you that Margaras "Butch" Burroughs, the White Cat has passed on to the Western Lands to be with William as of the evening of March 29.  Butch's feline leukemia finally won over his strong fortitude and stamina. This current bout encompassed a serious declining  period of about three weeks. He was put to sleep before the possibility of any agonizing pain would accompany his impending death.

Having been previously diagnosed in May of 1999 with an assured death to come from this dreaded disease within in a three month period, his survival in a good natured healthy state until just recently (with the exception of a bout of pancreatitus he overcame) should stand as testimonial to the "searing white light of truth" of questioning authoritative control mechanisms, whether medical or otherwise.

Thank you so much for your support over the years for getting the "word" out on this. I will follow up in the next few months with an expanded essay which will include new ideas for alternative treatments.
Roger Holden

The editions of l'éclat at the salon du livre :

Les éditions de l'éclat viennent d’avoir 20 ans et seront cette année au Salon du livre au Stand B 95, à quelques mètres de la "sortie" (où on respire encore)...

Vous y trouverez les Nouveautés de cet hiver 2005 (Le Jésus de David Flusser après Les sources juives du christianisme, Les Signes et insignes de la catastrophe de Jean Luc Evard  dont nous avions publié le livre sur Ernst Jünger l’année dernière. Violence et pouvoir dans l’histoire juive de David Biale (auteur d’une biographie de Gershom Scholem publiée à l’éclat en 2001), Le doute en question de Claudine Tiercelin dans la collection Tiré à part dirigée par Jean Pierre Cometti, Chemins de la Cabale de Charles Mopsik qui fait suite au Sexe des âmes paru en 2003) ainsi que l’ensemble de notre catalogue.
Il n’est pas improbable qu’on puisse aussi y boire un verre à l’occasion.
Le site (
http://www.lyber-eclat.net) continue de s’alimenter et de nouveaux "Lybers" (http://www.lyber-eclat.net/lyber/lybertxt.html) sont en ligne, en attendant que Google "lybérise" la quasi totalité du patrimoine écrit (dommage que les éditeurs n’y aient pas pensé avant)...

Merci de votre visite virtuelle et réelle ...

Reporters Rédacteurs d'Interzone : French psychiatry in danger :

Some articles published in the press about the situation in psychiatric hospitals at the moment, which are missing doctors, due to the reductions of their number : to lower the expenses of health and social security, some dummy at the top did not find better than reducing the number of doctors, starting from the postulate that if there is no doctor anymore, people will spend less for their health. The articles here are on psychiatry, but it’s the same with all doctors. The article is on line at http://www.geocities.com/clemsnide23/thouars3.html
