a R t a n d b o b s TOM HOMEWOOD FILM COMpETITION Thanks again to Tom Homewood, who donated his oil painting A Pint of Harveys to be auctioned at our ‘Artists United’ exhibition in July, and which we <strong>us</strong>ed as the central image in our Aug<strong>us</strong>t issue. The painting eventually raised £1300 for Lewes Football Club. We are delighted to say that Tom has given <strong>us</strong> permission to sell prints of the painting, in A3 frames, which we are selling for £15 (488882 for information). Tom is an up-and-coming Lewes-based artist, who generally exhibits his art in London, and particularly in the Northcote Gallery in Battersea. You can see some more of his beautifully styled, Degas-like work at their website: www.northcotegallery.com, and his www. tomhomewood.com Our friends at Lewes Film Club are repeating the genero<strong>us</strong> offer they made last year: they are giving away two pairs of season tickets for their latest programme, which runs from September to May, and includes 30 films. Season tickets normally cost £45 each. All you have to do to get into the draw, is answer this question: which French film auteur directed the movie Les Diaboliques (below)? Answers to competition@vivalewes. co or on a postcard to our address (see page 3). Normal rules apply.
MAGAzINE REVIEW - THE CHAp MAGAzINE bOOk REVIEW - HEARTSTONE bY CJ SANSOM b i t s a n d b o o k s In Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, we follow the tribulations of Aunt Dahlia with her publication M’lady’s Boudoir. Here in Lewes, a splendid ‘modern’ variant called The Chap magazine is currently published bi-month- ly. Subtitled a ‘Journal for the Modern Gentleman’, I cannot help but feel Bertie Wooster would have approved. The editor is G<strong>us</strong>tav Temple, and other editorial positions include literary, sartorial and ‘whiskerade’. Examples of the sort of articles it features include one on ‘britches and hoes’ and another called The Fitting Room ‘Where a gentleman and his inside leg measurements may be openly and frankly disc<strong>us</strong>sed’. The Chap shares the premises of the Vintage Shirt Company on Mount Place and copies can be purchased from the shop, also available by subscription 01778 392022, £3.25 per issue, £20 annual subscription. The extremely successful historical crime writer, CJ Sansom, lives relatively close to Lewes and has a new novel coming out on 3rd September called Heartstone. Set in 1545, it is the fifth in the series featuring lawyer Matthew Shardlake. The action takes place during the time of Henry VIII’s invasion of France, and includes the sinking of the Tudor warship, the Mary Rose. As with his other novels, the attention to detail is remarkable. He told <strong>us</strong> that Lewes M<strong>us</strong>eum was a <strong>us</strong>eful resource for researching the 16th century iron ind<strong>us</strong>try, and in the book he <strong>us</strong>es the legend: ‘Grieve Not My Heart is Thine’ which he found on a fireback displayed there. Designer of many Viva Lewes covers, Neil Gower, draws maps for the Shardlake novels, and did a remarkable seven for this one, including a depiction of Shardlake’s journey from London to Portsmouth and Portsea Island Area including the location of the Royal Tents to the east of Portsmouth. Published by Mantle, for sale in British Bookshops (or ‘S<strong>us</strong>sex Stationers’ as some of <strong>us</strong> still persist in calling it). bOOk REVIEW - REpLAY bY TRISTAN DONOVAN Within weeks of the launch of Tomohiro Nishikado’s revolutionary video game Space Invaders, Japan saw something of a financial crisis. ‘Children, teenagers and adults alike flocked to the arcades to join the battle against the alien threat’, writes Lewes-based author Tristan Donovan, in his j<strong>us</strong>t-published history of Video Games, Replay. ‘Pachinko parlours, bowling alleys and even grocery stores reinvented themselves as dedicated Space Invaders arcades. Cafés swapped their tables for Space Invaders cocktail cabinets… Within three months of its launch Space Invaders had gobbled up so many 100 yen coins it brought Japan to a standstill, preventing people from buying subway tickets or <strong>us</strong>ing public telephone boxes.’ Donovan’s book is extremely well-researched, and beautifully written, and takes you from the very first clunky games that scientists started producing in the fifties, via the revolution ca<strong>us</strong>ed by Space Invaders, to the incredibly complex multi-million-dollar-making latterday products, with development staffs in the several hundreds. The author, a freelance writer for publications such as The Guardian and Stuff, has written the definitive history, it seems, and a great present for an intelligent gamer. Interestingly, he didn’t call it ‘game over’. 1 3
