Allende's version of her own writing is this: she writes about "lovers embracing in front of an abandoned mine where they have just found 15 bodies murdered by the regime." Allende will present a lecture titled "The Voice of a Latin American Woman Writer," on Friday, November 4 at 8 PM in Lotte Lehmann Concert Hall. This magical realism which pervades Allende's novels makes them thoroughly exciting, and at the same time deeply political. Her work rises out of a need for human solidarity and a commitment to the future, as well as a healthy respect for passion and less overtly "political" kinds of involvement. Tickets for Isabel Allende's lecture can be purchased in advance at the A&L Ticket Office; any remaining tickets will be sold at the door (UCSB students: $3).

  • HOW BLACK IS BLACK METAL [JOURNALISMUS] Nachrichten Von Heute
    HOW BLACK IS BLACK METAL [JOURNALISMUS] nachrichten von heute Kevin Coogan - Lords of Chaos (LOC), a recent book-length examination of the “Satanic” black metal music scene, is less concerned with sound than fury. Authors Michael Moynihan and Didrik Sederlind zero in on Norway, where a tiny clique of black metal musicians torched some churches in 1992. The church burners’ own place of worship was a small Oslo record store called Helvete (Hell). Helvete was run by the godfather of Norwegian black metal, 0ystein Aarseth (“Euronymous”, or “Prince of Death”), who first brought black metal to Norway with his group Mayhem and his Deathlike Silence record label. One early member of the movement, “Frost” from the band Satyricon, recalled his first visit to Helvete: I felt like this was the place I had always dreamed about being in. It was a kick in the back. The black painted walls, the bizarre fitted out with inverted crosses, weapons, candelabra etc. And then just the downright evil atmosphere...it was just perfect. Frost was also impressed at how talented Euronymous was in “bringing forth the evil in people – and bringing the right people together” and then dominating them. “With a scene ruled by the firm hand of Euronymous,” Frost reminisced, “one could not avoid a certain herd-mentality. There were strict codes for what was accept- ed.” Euronymous may have honed his dictatorial skills while a member of Red Ungdom (Red Youth), the youth wing of the Marxist/Leninist Communist Workers Party, a Stalinist/Maoist outfit that idolized Pol Pot. All who wanted to be part of black metal’s inner core “had to please the leader in one way or the other.” Yet to Frost, Euronymous’s control over the scene was precisely “what made it so special and obscure, creating a center of dark, evil energies and inspiration.” Lords of Chaos, however, is far less interested in Euronymous than in the man who killed him, Varg Vikemes from the one-man group Burzum.
