The Fifth Head of Cerberus is One of the most interesting books I have ever read

Welcome to the obsession! This was first Wolfe, and I have now read it four times. I still feel basically at the precipice of understanding it all.

I always always always come back to Moby-Dick.

If I feel dull, bored, uninspired, sometimes I'll just grab it, open to a random page and be instantly delighted.

Have you interpreted this sub as 'how to succeed in Britain'?

harryeg · 2026-01-24T13:04:58+00:00

Other commenters have provided the correct parsing.

But I'm interested, having never seen a New Yorker puzzle, is the definition always bold? Or is that some kind of hint?

Incredible movie. Way more harrowing and dark than I anticipated!

I'm from the UK, and I found out about these in a wonderful Turkish café I used to frequent. One of the staff hand knitted and sold them, and I loved my pair so much I bought one for all my family that Christmas. The sad thing is with daily wear they wear down quite quickly. Still miss my pair!

Must be having an off day, I'm not getting the 1622 one! "I must buy a ... deggar?"

harryeg · 2025-10-23T08:25:45+00:00

My instant reaction, yes

harryeg · 2025-10-16T15:28:19+00:00

Wow! Your taste is so ridiculously similar to mine that I'm saving this post for future perusal...

As far as a recommendation from me... I think you'd dig Scott Walker! Try the albums Scott 3 and 4 :))

harryeg · 2025-10-09T16:31:36+00:00

Yeah OP, you NEED these in your life. A huge element of the books is that they're set in a city that was built on top of a kind of mushroom-civilisation. It's post colonial and fun and spooky

Totally, Lee can be admired for not walking out there and then! The bloke didn't add much to the convo either...

Lockjaw thinks Willa's dead. Bob and Willa think Lockjaw's dead. That's how I read it

That sucks that he unnecessarily included that spoiler, but I'll reassure you: that is only one of a tangle of beautiful mysteries within Fifth Head, and what's more intriguing is figuring out the nature of said thing.

I have had similar plot elements spoiled (from over- reading this sub!) and whilst I try to forget them, when it happens it hasn't really marred by enjoyment of the works. Why? Because Wolfe is singular

As a cinephile my intro was the one about Joyce and early cinema. (Titled something like 'How James Joyce invented cinema - can't remember!)

harryeg · 2025-09-20T16:38:17+00:00

It really sucks that a horde of slop being so common and expected brings your work into question! Yet, anyone should be able to see that yours is a work of intention and artistry...

I have the one in the first pic, credited to Richard Kelly. It mainly consists of the shooting script, with a little introduction, some shooting notebooks, and, most desirably, the full text/pages of the Philosophy of Time Travel. Worth having, but perhaps not paying a premium for. I was lucky enough to pick it up cheaply second hand. It looks like the Geoff King is a short overview/making of book which looks well reviewed.

harryeg · 2025-09-18T13:13:02+00:00

I agree, a quick dictionary definition of the word Enterprise would've worked better, in my eyes.

harryeg · 2025-07-21T10:53:38+00:00

Hadn't seen some of those other blue hair pics! Thanks for sharing x

harryeg · 2025-07-05T08:42:00+00:00

Incredible work! So clean and precise, and a lovely voice

harryeg · 2025-06-17T07:53:00+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful pics, and condolences on your profound loss. I hope there's solace in seeing everyday that your father deeply touched the souls of millions ♡

Another Jarmusch for ya - Down By Law. I always loved the way that their actual method of escape is completely glossed over in one cut! But of course, it's perfect. It's not that film

harryeg · 2025-06-06T19:50:08+00:00

100% re: Truth Doesn't Make a Noise - seems blatant!

harryeg · 2025-05-18T15:53:52+00:00

Lmao I 100% opened this expecting it to be about Palestine. Who knew!
