De Marktkantine De Marktkantine has been around for about two years. For me, it’s the most unappreciated club in the city even though the programming is high-quality, and varied. There are other clubs in Amsterdam that are trying hard to trademark a certain style but Marktkantine is more relaxed about who can come in. You can still see the balconies and booths from when it was a theatre. The balcony is particularly large and gives a great view down onto the stage. Then, behind the stage there are stairs up to another level with a small bar. They just started a new series of nights, curated by DJ and producer duo Red Axes, with shows every couple of months. The first edition was a success and musically it was amazing. • Jan van Galenstraat 6, marktkantine.nlNicky Elisabeth, DJ, soundcloud.com/nicky-elisabeth Shelter Shelter is among the newest additions to the city’s club scene.

Issac Lyons was wearing an Egyptian costume and had put a toy dog lead around his neck, reports Nottinghamshire Live. Tragic Issac was found with his arms forward as if "in a bit of a Superman type position" Detective inspector Samantha Austin told the hearing.

He was found by his father Mike, 45, a former soldier and trained … [Read more...] about Boy, 10, accidentally hangs himself in ‘Superman pose’ while playing in bedroom

Primo Levi Publishing can be a brutal game of chance. When, in 1947, Primo Levi had finished If This Is a Man , he found only rejection slips and disillusion. Then at last the house of Antonicelli took him up. But Levi's haunting story of Auschwitz was released almost simultaneously with The Path to the Nest of Spiders, Italo Calvino's buoyant tale of partisan revolt. Two young and brilliant Italian writers, two accounts of war remembered: Levi and Calvino were reviewed together and sold together. Immediately, the upbeat Calvino, feeling good about the new Italy, had his bestseller. The horror of the Holocaust seemed somehow out of time, too near to confront. It would be a decade before one of the great books of the twentieth century was reissued and seen across the world for what it was. Ian Thomson, perhaps, may smile wryly over this experience. His biography of Levi - 640 pages and 10 years in the writing - appears simultaneously with Carole Angier's The Double Bond, 928 pages … [Read more...] about You wait 10 years for one biography of Primo Levi…
