If you enjoyed Emeric Pressburger's THE GLASS PEARLS, Sally Carson's CROKED CROSS or Anna Seghers' TRANSIT, chances are you'll like THE PASSENGER.
It would make a great film, very much in the vein of classic Hitchcock thrillers such as THE LADY VANISHES, NOTORIOUS & THE 39 STEPS! #BookSky #FilmSky
It's now been a year since I started @adrianchills.bsky.social. Thanks to everyone who has read, reposted and liked the stories. And if you haven't already followed and you like the idea of flash fiction horror stories based on the headlines to Guardian columns by Adrian Chiles, feel free to dive in
I should also mention that DOWN BY LAW looks amazing. The textured black-and-white cinematography is truly beautiful! #FilmSky
Some of my favourite paintings on show at the National Gallery’s excellent ZURBARÁN exhibition are the still lifes, most of which were painted by his son, Juan de Zurbarán, who died at the age of 29. Such a tragic loss! #Art #ArtSky #Zurbaran
William Nicholson lived at Harlech in North Wales towards the end of the First World War. This view looks across Tremadoc Bay to the mountains on the Lleyn Peninsula; Nicholson painted the view by moonlight after rain.

Up to 1938, Adrian Allinson usually spent part of each spring and summer in the Mediterranean. This landscape is most likely Ibiza. Allinson would make initial sketches in situ, and then each winter, he painted the scenes at his north London studio.

New on the blog today, I've written about THE PASSENGER by Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz (tr Philip Boehm).
A brilliant, gripping novel in which a Jewish man goes on the run to evade the Nazis following the Kristallnacht atrocities. So timely & chilling... 💙📚

You Must Remember This
For a novel written in the immediate aftermath of Kristallnacht, a state-sponsored wave of violence, vandalism and imprisonment of Jews that took place in November 1938, The Passenger feels remarka…
DOWN BY LAW (Jim Jarmusch, 1986).
Loved the downbeat, deadpan comedy in this one, which probably set the template for much of JJ’s subsequent work!
Jarmusch avoids the usual tropes of crime / prison-break films by shooting the scenes in between the traditional ‘action’. #FilmSky (1/2)
More transcendent artworks from the ZURBARÁN exhibition earlier this week. I’m not normally a big fan of religious paintings, but these pieces are truly remarkable! #Art #ArtSky #Zurbaran #London

An amazing array of arresting artworks at the National Gallery’s ZURBARÁN exhibition yesterday. (It’s running until 23rd Aug, so there’s plenty of time to see it if you’re in #London this summer.)
I especially loved the female saints, who endured so much… #Art #ArtSky #Zurbaran
