Haghenbeck takes readers on a magical ride through Frida’s passionate life: her long and tumultuous relationship with Diego Rivera, the development of her art, her complex personality, her hunger for experience, and her ardent feminism. Frida called the notebook “The Hierba Santa Book” (The Sacred Herbs Book) and filled it with memories, ideas, and recipes. Haghenbeck imagines that, after Frida nearly died when a streetcar’s iron handrail pierced her abdomen during a traffic accident, she received one of the notebooks as a gift from her lover Tina Modotti. Haghenbeck was inspired to write this beautifully wrought fictional account of her life. When several notebooks were recently discovered among Frida Kahlo’s belongings at her home in Coyoacán, Mexico City, acclaimed Mexican novelist F. Haghenbeck offers a beautifully written reimagining of Frida Kahlo’s fascinating life and loves. One of Mexico’s most celebrated new novelists, F. In this episode, JF and Phil discuss Wilson's concept of Faculty X as elaborated in his monumental 1971 work, The Occult. This reception of his first book at the age of 24 was a high critical watermark for Wilson which he did not achieve again until the publication of The Occult in 1971 after which he enjoyed a long and fruitful career as a writer, philosopher, novelist, lecturer and broadcaster until his death in 2013. For Wilson, magic isn't the living fossil the arch-rationalists would like it to be, but a "science of the future." Faculty X is an evolutionary power, innately positive, inseparable from the will to live and the unshakeable conviction that, somehow, this world has some real, ineffable meaning. At its simplest, what Colin Wilson calls Faculty X is "simply that latent power in human beings possess to reach beyond the present." Yet its existence is evinced in all those phenomena that modernity files under "supernatural" or "occult." As difficult to explain as it is impossible to omit from any honest survey of human existence, the occult haunts the modern, not just as a vestige of the past but also, perhaps, as a promise from a time to come. As the Reverend prepared to dispatch her, their attention was drawn to a strangely loud hissing noise and the sudden appearance of a flying man. Rather they were outlaws planning to rob the 3:10 train to Denver. The reverend and his deacons seemed overly concerned about the time, however, providing the already suspicious Annie with just one more clue that these religious men were not exactly who they claimed to be. Booby traps were set throughout the deserted structure, and each one promised swift and lethal attention to the unwary. Annie had her work cut out for her when she agreed to guide the Reverend Curtis and his deacons through the Indian burial ground. Misfortune Annie and the Locomotive Reaper is an action and adventure novel set in the wild West for preteens and young adults, written by Janet "The Kid" Fogg and "Gusto" Dave Jackson.
