세상을 가득 채운 편견과 무지 그리고 미신
Peter FitzSimons, Little Theories of Life (2009)

KTX를 타고 천안/아산으로 향하는 것은 사실 좀 멍청한 짓이다. 35분만에 도착하려고 30분이 넘게 걸려 용산역으로 가야 한다면, 이건 "좀 아닌 셈"이랄까? 용산역 로비에서 우연히 집어든 책 [인생의 작은 법칙들]은 호주의 신문방송업 종사자 Peter FitzSimons가 전세계(?)에서 수집한 속설들을 정리한 책이다. 가끔 고개를 주억거리게도 만들지만 대개는 소소하고 또 그럴만한 과학적 이유가 있기에 별로 설득력은 없다. 그래도 용산 - 천안/아산을 오가는 1시간 남짓한 여유시간에 즐겁게 읽었다. 찾아보니 2008년에 [51%의 법칙]이라는 이름으로 나온 것을 표지와 구성을 달리하여 다시 낸 책이다. 2008년 번역본과 달라진 점은 (온라인 서점에 올라온 목차를 비교하니) 7장이 1장으로 오고, 1장이 3장으로 가고, 6장은 4장으로, 3장은 6장으로, 4장은 7장으로 자리를 옮겼다....

재능의 원천인가 허영의 종말인가
Lynd Ward, Gods' Man: A Novel in Woodcuts (2004)

Dover에서 열심히 리프린트 중인 목판화 그림소설들을 최근 열심히 보고 있다. 그 중에서 내 수준에 비추어 보아 특히 공명하는 작가가 Lynd Ward. Storyteller Without Words 에서 저자가 이렇게 말했다 한다. The woodblock, whether cut with a knife or engraved, develops its image by bringing details out of darkness into the light. This seems to give it an advantage over ways of working that start with an empty white area. In a sense, what is happening is already there in the darkness, and cutting the block involves letting only enough light into the field of vision to reveal what is going...
