Oh, the places you\u2019ll go, the people you\u2019ll meet \u2026 as you\u2019re forced out of your way of life and into a strange, foreign land! In 1898, amid the Dreyfus affair and that famous <em>J\u2019accuse <\/em>fiasco, \u00c9mile Zola thought it might be wise to leave Paris for a while. So he exiled himself to London, where he found many wondrous new things to complain about: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2017\/jan\/09\/disappearance-emile-zola-dreyfus-case-michael-rosen\" target=\"_blank\">At the age of fifty-seven, equipped only with a nightshirt wrapped in a newspaper, Zola made his way to the coast and boarded a boat to England<\/a> \u2026 \u200b[He] devoted himself to brooding on all the elements of English life that mystified\u00a0and upset him. Shirts were \u2018too short.\u2019 Roads weren\u2019t\u00a0\u2018as good as French ones.\u2019 Houses\u00a0were disgracefully lacking in shutters and featured windows that didn\u2019t close properly. Food got \u2018more and more revolting\u2019 by the day. English women were guilty of \u2018carelessness\u2019 (witness the number of hairpins to be found on the city\u2019s streets); of spending too much time cycling; and of being insufficiently enthusiastic about breastfeeding (\u2018that is hardly my\u00a0conception of a mother\u2019s duty towards her infant, whatever be her station in life\u2019).\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you\u2019re going to put yourself through the technocratic hell that is the Consumer Electronics Show, you should at least make sure you\u2019re not compos mentis beforehand. Erin Gloria Ryan found this the perfect occasion to try LSD for the first time: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/articles\/2017\/01\/08\/i-dropped-acid-and-saw-into-the-future-my-surreal-first-time-at-ces.html\" target=\"_blank\">Five or six androids on tiny wheels, maybe three feet tall, turned and blinked in unison on a smooth white surface<\/a>. On their chests were screens displaying a cartoon heart, like a child\u2019s drawing of a heart. The hearts were beating. Shitty pop music thrummed. One robot, separated from the dance crew, turned and blinked alone. I felt strongly that the robot on the outside was ostracized because she was too fat, or because she\u2019d hit on one of the dance team robot\u2019s boyfriends. Either way, she was not sitting with the cool robots at lunch. I felt really bad for her. I couldn\u2019t look her in the plastic eyes.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Our London editor, Adam Thirlwell, on the films of Ra\u00fal Ruiz: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/daily\/2017\/01\/05\/raul-ruiz-from-one-world-to-the-next\/\" target=\"_blank\">The basic rule, in a Ruiz movie, is that different stories co-exist, either nested within one another or side by side<\/a>. Perhaps the most exuberant example of this is\u00a0<em>Three Crowns of the Sailor<\/em>, from 1983. It begins with a student who has just murdered his professor in Warsaw. Fleeing through the streets at night, he meets a sailor, who offers him a way out of the country on a boat. In a bar, the sailor names his price: that the student must listen to the story of his adventures, and pay him three crowns. The film then tells the picaresque story of the sailor\u2019s adventures on board the\u00a0<em>Fuchalense<\/em>, a ghost ship docking around the world\u2014so that the movie\u2019s structure resembles the great story novels, like Jan Potocki\u2019s\u00a0<em>The Manuscript Found at Saragossa\u00a0<\/em>\u2026 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Janan Ganesh is on the lookout for the true \u201ccitizen of nowhere,\u201d that icon, often postulated but seldom seen, of the globalized international elite: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/a5083dc6-d28e-11e6-9341-7393bb2e1b51\" target=\"_blank\">How many atomized individuals are there, really?<\/a> Even in London, the world headquarters of Deracinated Man, of Theresa May\u2019s deplored \u2018citizens of nowhere.\u2019 Or in New York, home to the heathen \u2018values\u2019 that make Ted Cruz shiver. It cannot be more than a sect within a cult within a groupuscule of the overall population who live for transient pleasures and submit to nothing greater than themselves. The people you think might\u2014hipsters, the liberal rich\u2014generally do not, at least not far beyond the age of thirty.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s Monday, so before you get too involved in the affairs of your week, you should remember that there are \u201cmeat clowns\u201d out there: cold cuts with faces printed on them. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/tinyletter.com\/cnqmdi\/letters\/meat-clowns\" target=\"_blank\">They\u2019re also called billy sausage and purzelwurst and gesichtswurst, which appears to quite sensibly mean \u2018face sausage\u2019<\/a>\u00a0\u2026 I always wondered whether they, these clammy looking meat logs with unsettling clown or animal faces were real. Seems like they are \u2026 I\u2019m fascinated by cold cuts and raw meat, perhaps because I see and handle it so rarely, perhaps because of the faint terror of seeing skinned flesh. That slightly metallic\u00a0smell of raw blood which, going by last summer\u2019s corpse flower, is the smell of fresh death.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zola wasn&#8217;t big on London: the shirts were too short and the women didn&#8217;t enjoy breastfeeding enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2512],"tags":[26583,26585,26578,26579,8095,13060,8705,11279,26580,1050,26584,22406,26581,26582],"class_list":["post-106553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-on-the-shelf","tag-citizens-of-nowhere","tag-cold-cuts","tag-complaints","tag-consumer-electronics-show","tag-emile-zola","tag-exile","tag-films","tag-globalization","tag-lcd","tag-london","tag-meat-clowns","tag-psychedelics","tag-raul-ruiz","tag-three-crowns-of-the-sailor"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v25.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Emile Zola Had Some Strange Complaints About London<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The roads were crap, the shirts were too short, the women didn&#039;t enjoy breastfeeding enough.
