Steven Poole: Vice et Versa

Looking into Don DeLillo’s short stories

Whatever made you think it was your data anyway?

Don’t trust the ‘cloud’

Lost, in translation

The melancholy allure of Haruki Murakami

Like a boiled owl

A dictionary of slang versus the guardians of style

A novel composed entirely of questions? Really?

Goodbye, cruel Word

A personal history of electronic writing

Opening and closing credits music written for a French documentary film in which psychiatrists and their patients conduct interviews with roles reversed. The result is curiously uplifting.

Could you please tell us a bit more about this film? Is it called Vice et Versa? Is it out? Is it possible to view or download it somewhere?

Thanks in advance – you got me curious!

Hi Peter: the film is indeed called Vice et Versa. It was produced for a French festival this month; I’m not aware of any current plans for a wider release but will update if I hear anything.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

Steven Poole writes words for books and newspapers, and music for films. You can send him an email.

Why is everyone so obsessed by food? How did we become a culture of infantile gluttons? New book, coming later this year…

It's my book about political language in the era of the war on terror, that has its own website. There are a great many words over there.

It's my book about the aesthetics of videogames, and was also a column in Edge magazine, and a BBC TV documentary.
