from ME READING STUFF · host Robyn O'Neil
"In the Aztec empire, every fifty-two years, once in an average lifetime, the world was on the verge of coming to an end. The sun would no longer move, night would be eternal, and man-eating demons would descend to rule the earth." - Eliot Weinberger"In Kingwood, Texas, one afternoon in 2008, a woman and her dog Henry took a walk around their blistering neighborhood. A trio of preteen boys shouted a question at the woman: "Why are you so ugly?", and the woman now regrets not having released her man-eating demon to exact revenge on the little creeps." - Robyn O'Neil LINKS:Find out where to buy Eliot Weinberger's "An Elemental Thing" on the New Directions site here: https://www.ndbooks.com/book/an-elemental-thing/See the trailer for my film WE, THE MASSES here: https://vimeo.com/26486761More on director Eoghan Kidney here: http://cargocollective.com/kidneyInfo on my Ohio exhibition here: https://www.wooster.edu/arts/museum/exhibit/current/Me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robyn_oneil/?hl=enMe on twitter: https://twitter.com/Robyn_ONeil
