Beschrijving

In the fifth and final episode of Mood Curriculum, Kristian Vistrup Madsen meets Saskia Vogel to discuss her translation of Peter Cornell's Ways of Paradise (Fitzcarraldo, 2024). Cornell, who passed away earlier this year, first published the conceptual novel in Swedish in 1987. It presents as the footnotes to a lost manuscript, but what transpires from reading is that searching for ways to paradise will always mean circling the perimeter of a lost object.

Mood Curriculum, Episode 3: Simon Critchley

In the third episode of Mood Curriculum, Kristian Vistrup Madsen speaks with philosopher Simon Critchley about his book On Mysticism (NYRB, 2024). With On Mysticism Critchley offers a roadmap to mystical practice and thought within the Christian tradition. He understands mystical experience as experience in its most intense form – mysticism is mediated immediacy. It is an antidote to melancholy, as Julian of Norwich puts it, "to the heaviness with which the self is attached to itself, riveted to itself. " It is also a call to intensify the senses: "God is all mouth", he quotes from Madame Guyon, and a movement away from the self: to write, in the words of Annie Dillard, "without a face". Music by bitsy Knox and Roger 3000. Cover art by Tolia Astakhishvili.
