  • The District Messenger
    THE DISTRICT MESSENGER The Newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London Roger Johnson, Mole End, 41 Sandford Road, Chelmsford CM2 6DE no. 154 30th September 1995 Jeremy Brett died on the 12th September, not of a broken heart, but of an overworked heart. He had come to terms with his precarious condition, and knew that his only chance of cardiac stability was a heart transplant, an option he had considered and rejected. The cardiomyopathy was not correctly diagnosed until comparatively late, but it was this rather than his manic- depression that made his later performances as Sherlock Holmes so uneven, though the tabloids made the most of the latter. Jeremy Brett played Holmes in 41 television productions and one stage play. For more than three- quarters of the time he was a great Sherlock Holmes. In Pace Requiescat. The next issue of The Sherlock Holmes Gazette will be a Jeremy Brett memorial issue. Look out for it. Admirers of John Doubleday's famous statue of Holmes in Meiringen, Switzerland, will be pleased to learn that the sculptor has been persuaded to produce a miniature version in cold-cast bronze on a mahogany base. The height of the statuette, without the base, is 6½” (160mm), and the price is a maximum of £77.55 including VAT (plus postage of £4.45 = total £82.00). It's available from Albert Kunz, 20 Highfield Road, Chislehurst, Kent BR7 6QZ (phone 01689 836256). Cheques should be payable to A. Kunz; they won't be cashed until the statuettes are sent out. As mentioned in the last DM, Calabash Press (Barbara & Christopher Roden, Ashcroft, 2 Abbottsford Drive, Penyffordd, Chester CH4 OJG) will issue its first publication on 15th October, The Tangled SkeinSkein by David Stuart Davies, whose first, very limited edition is no longer obtainable.

  • Elementary, My Dear Readers
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Elementary, My Dear Readers NCIS (which stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is an extremely popular “police procedural” television drama that has spun off as a New Orleans series. NCIS: New Orleans, which airs Tuesday nights on CBS, is set in the Crescent City and it would be highly unusual if you haven’t seen the show filming around town. It premiered on September 23, 2014. The episodes revolve around a fictional team of agents led by Special Agent Dwayne Cassius “King” Pride, Special Agent Christopher LaSalle, and Special Agent Meredith Brody. They handle criminal investigations involving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. If the NCIS team seems to be everywhere you look these days, allow yourself to travel back in literary time and imagine another famous detective team present all around you. Even if their bailiwick was late Victorian England, I seem to feel their presence all around this historic city. Perhaps you will, too. Arthur Conan Doyle penned his first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, in novel form in 1886 at the age of 27. In it Holmes expounded: “Criminal cases are continually hinging upon that one point. A man is suspected of a crime months perhaps after it has been committed. His linen or clothes are examined and brownish stains discovered upon them. Are they blood stains, or mud stains, or rust stains, or fruit stains, or what are they? That is a question which has puzzled many an expert, and why? Because there was no reliable test.

    A Thoroughly IncomIncompletepleteplete,, Constantly Evolving, Partially AAANNNNNN OTATED BBBIBLIOGRAPHY for use with the Greenwich Village Literary Pub Crawl updated November 19, 2007 ... I. Writing By the Writers Broyard, Anatole. Kafka Was The Rage: A Greenwich Village Memoir. A beautiful and very short book about living in the Village after World War II by Anatole Broyard, who became a legendary critic for the New York Times. Features a great story about Dylan Thomas and his wife Caitlin and how not to get punched by either of them. Crane, Hart. Hart Crane: Complete Poems and Selected Letters . Langdon Hammer, Ed. New York: Literary Classics of the U.S. / Library of America, 2006. Crane is a difficult poet; although many scholars consider him one of the most important of the 20th century, he can be hard to read. Try “Chaplinesque.” It’s short, and it’s kind of about a kitten. Crane, Stephen. Stephen Crane: Prose and Poetry . New York: Literary Classics of the U.S. / Library of America, 1984. Includes Maggie: A Girl of the Streets , The Red Badge of Courage , stories, sketches, journalism and poetry. Maggie takes barely an afternoon to read, but the images will stick around. Crane took a big risk by writing about the parts of New York thought unfit for literature. Dylan, Bob. Chronicles Volume I . New York: Simon & Schuster, 2004. It turns out that Dylan is not only a good writer, but also funny as hell. He describes his mentors, his idols, and his friends in curt, unexpected sentences that are more often than not good enough to inscribe on someone’s gravestone.
