Remarkable Occurrences Lodge Patrick
This is a book of two halves, and many journeys. Not a work of biography, or a history, this is an effort to capture the imaginative power of Cook's journey into the unknown through a squint view of his companions, the cultures he encountered and the events which unfolded. The first part sends us throughout the world and across history, finding the poetry in James Joyce's short-lived cinema, Dana Scully's oarless rowboat, the Cerasi Chapel, a Hindu temple, the Cardiff Mod scene and a Bowie-singing log delivery man - all painted with Lodge's trademark understated humour, striking imagery and careful observation.The second part is a lengthy sequence responding to Captain James Cook's first voyage aboard the Endeavour.
As a whole, Remarkable Occurrences is a deeply impressive literary achievement which will leave a lasting impression on all those who
