Who Can Say When the Noodle Boils? Only Time …
In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks upon the World Trade Center, amid the emotional upheaval and flat-out shock experienced by United States citizens from all walks of life, one song in particular—from a rather unexpected source—seemed to give the nation’s grief-stricken an inordinate amount of solace. No, it wasn’t anything overtly patriotic or jingoistic. The tune had not a whiff of … Read More Who Can Say When the Noodle Boils? Only Time …
Patience Is a Summertime Vice Disguised as a Virtue
I have always heard that, as one “matures”, the desire to surround one’s body with heat and to establish one’s residence in warmer climes is virtually a given. If this is true, then I am even more of an oddball than previously understood, with new examples and manifestations of my weirdness being discovered almost every day. I don’t want your damned heat. I want … Read More Patience Is a Summertime Vice Disguised as a Virtue
Grab a Bowl of Boo and Taste the Friggin’ Nostalgia
Jonathan Kieran presents CLASSIC KID-KIBBLE from YESTERYEAR TODAY’S DUBIOUS HONOREE: BOO BERRY CRUNCH CEREAL (General Mills) Wimpy Casper’s dangerous “gangster” uncle pushing sugar-highs by the box? Probably. RUDIMENTARY ANALYSIS: As one of a trilogy of “monster-themed” cereals introduced by General Mills in the mid-1970s (along with Frankenberry and Count Chocula) Boo Berry Crunch was touted by its makers as “the first cereal to ever taste like blueberries.” I have some good friends who operate … Read More Grab a Bowl of Boo and Taste the Friggin’ Nostalgia
Something Wanted To Be Born
Apparently. In the midst of working daily for months on three separate literary projects at once—each of a different type, each “approached” in a different way, yet attended-to simultaneously—a fourth creation reared its impertinent head out of the very ether. Sudden. Unexpected. Unimagined, frankly. Human subconsciousness is a both a curse and a glorious gift. In this instance, it is a gift, for me. … Read More Something Wanted To Be Born
A Soupçon of an Update?
A whiff? A vague undertone? A telling but ultimately enigmatic glimpse of the otherwise intangible? Yeah, probably that last one. Quoi qu’il en soit, there won’t be a great deal “occurring” on the Official Jonathan Kieran site for the foreseeable future, but the reasons for any dearth of breathlessly riveting information and addictive content are good and worthy ones, I assure. Two major book … Read More A Soupçon of an Update?

Speak, Lucid Dreamer!
Well, it was one hell of a dream to ring-in the New Year. And I may mean that literally. Shadows threaten from the sky and tectonic plates shift beneath unsteady feet. Matters are going to get a tad metaphysical from now on. Maybe even thaumaturgical. Count upon heaps of the cryptic, as well. There, there. Providence will reveal Its designs and Its infinite array … Read More Speak, Lucid Dreamer!
Little Grains of Sand
The final months of 2020 are before us at last. November and December stare us down like obsidian-clad angels of ruin and regret, looming higher than the very vault of the sky, swords drawn and fingers pointed in accusation, as if to herald the inevitable smiting. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear are not at all astonished to behold such twin … Read More Little Grains of Sand
Winding Up (and Down) with Wistwood
As our agitated and addlepated society performs an endless watusi in the lusty throes of its confusion, gyrating from one chaotic cultural vortex to another, life goes on for people of all backgrounds who are busy with projects major and mundane. Bread and circuses were never my thing, so best of luck to all the Caligulan lemmings out there. Have a happy Fall. Great … Read More Winding Up (and Down) with Wistwood
