What's yours?? Feel free, as i also shall feel free to ingratiate this space with populating this thread with those people i love dearly, a people version sort of for my music and film and book focuses

Tilda Swinton

The star of Jarman films, she is a dynamic force i adore so much, she even did something with Max Richter, so it's all connected!!

Derek Jarman

The experience it must have been to be a part of a Jarman film is to me what the zenith of having a good time would be like, and oh those films like War Requiem, Caravaggio, Wittgenstein, how wonderful they are, and it came from this special man who expressed himself fiercely no matter what he was focusing on, from unique crazy fun, to searingly savage anger at how the world is.

Robert Walser -- a unique reserved sort of man who revealed a very very special personality in his writings, especially his short stories where they are like scenes in a life, and seeing the ecstatic in the everyday, his most famous short, a novella The Walk is what you wanna be reading to get him at his peak. His biography is a little on the tragic side, spending much of his time in asylums, and one winter day he went out for a walk and didn't come back alive. Died walking, what he described so captivatingly and endearingly in those stories.
