Danas Mirabilis | The Unforgiving Minute
http://currion.net/2014/09/danas-mirabilis
Paul Currion struggles to explain himself. September 11, 2014. And so it came to pass that Aeon. Both published one of my pieces on the same day. The tiger waiting on the shore. By contrast, was easy. I had been enjoying the Nature Futures. Scene V. Dunsinane. Within the castle. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email. Pingback: Scene V.

Paul Currion struggles to explain himself. Scene V. Dunsinane. Within the castle. September 30, 2014. I originally submitted The tiger waiting on the shore.

What Savamala Sounds | The Unforgiving Minute
http://currion.net/2014/09/what-savamala-sounds
Paul Currion struggles to explain himself. September 4, 2014. I drove overnight from Belgrade to Herceg Novi, and then I fell off the map. For about two weeks. Before we started driving, I went to the launch of the Savamala Soundwalk. The project put together by Kolektiv ImproveE2.0. And Zvučna mapa Beograda. Yeah, yeah, street team Belgrade, keeping it real, etc, etc. The team had so much interesting material this year, they decided to release two Soundwalks. Broadly speaking, the artists on. Terminal i...

http://currion.net/2014/08/new-track-sedmina
Paul Currion struggles to explain himself. New Track – Sedmina. I composed a track for this year’s Zvučne šetnje Savamalom (Savamala Soundwalk, if you don’t speak Serbian), made out of sounds sampled from a walk along Karađorđeva (with some additional samples from Freesound. 8220;Sedmina” means “Seventh”, but it also means something else. August 12, 2014. No Place To Run No Place To. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email. Becalmed in British waters.

Horse Phantoms | The Unforgiving Minute
http://currion.net/2014/11/horse-phantoms
Paul Currion struggles to explain himself. November 30, 2014. A couple of months ago, I published. Four Species of Ghost. A knife crime on the body of psycho-geography, in Kamenzind Beograd Issue 5. Four Species is partly an homage to Iain Sinclair, whose work has been hugely influential in how I understand the city as a work of literature, and that’s probably a little too obvious. This is not my beautiful house. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the billboard outside the main train station, a vision of B...

No Place To Run No Place To | The Unforgiving Minute
http://currion.net/2014/08/no-place-to-run-no-place-to
Paul Currion struggles to explain himself. No Place To Run No Place To. August 7, 2014. One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a writer is to sit around waiting for other people to recognize your genius. There are two reasons for this: first, you’re not a genius; and second, people are idiots. (You may notice that these two are basically the same point.). In March and May, we staged two updates of Jekyll and Hyde. My paranoid drone fantasy, No Place To Run No Place To. Playing golf in South Africa.

Es-Tu, Charlie? | The Unforgiving Minute
http://currion.net/2015/01/es-tu-charlie
Paul Currion struggles to explain himself. January 11, 2015. So why did Charlie Hebdo punch down? Because Charlie Hebdo didn’t even realise they were punching down. They saw ISLAM in big block capitals, MILITANT ISLAM that went against the very grain of Charlie Hebdo’s secular origins in the republic; they saw the imminent threat that’s been painted by our governments and our media, the threat that is not just at our doorsteps, but cleaning our kitchens, or stirring in our banlieues. Are such broad brush...

Writing off Iraq | The Unforgiving Minute
http://currion.net/2014/11/writing-off-iraq
Paul Currion struggles to explain himself. November 4, 2014. This month the White Review published my non fiction piece Every Night is like a Disco: Iraq, 2003. Which only took me 11 years to write. I had it in notes, in my head, for that whole time; I always intended to write something, especially after Granta published Fly Away Home: Iraq, 1998. So why did it take so long? Third was that there was a snowstorm of books after Iraq, often from people who’d been in far worse situations than I, or had...
