	Lesson 8
		In the Bible, darkness is a symbol of evil, of separation from God, who is Light and in whom "is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5).
		The darkness, then, is an outward symbol of the spiritual darkness that was surrounding the Son of God as He bore the full brunt of God's righteous wrath against sin.
		The righteous One must suffer the condemnation and wrath of God, not in vindictiveness; for the heart of God yearned with greatest sorrow when His Son, the guiltless, was suffering the penalty of sin.

		Darkness At Noon stands as an unequaled fictional portrayal of the nightmare politics of our time.
		As the pressure to confess preposterous crimes increases, he re-lives a career that embodies the terrible ironies and human betrayals of a totalitarian movement masking itself as an instrument of deliverance.
		Almost unbearably vivid in its depiction of one man's solitary agony, Darkness At Noon asks questions about ends and means that have relevance not only for the past but for the perilous present.

		The parallels between Darkness at Noon and 1984 are particularly strong, both dealing (at least in large measure) with the interrogation, torture and breakdown of one man by another.
		While 1984 is set in a fictional dictatorship, Darkness at Noon is set in the real world contemporary with its date of writing.
		In short, Darkness at Noon is a perceptive novel, though a depressing one.

		He had to compare himself to Nicolai Rubashov, the protagonist of Arthur Koestler's "Darkness at Noon" -- a man at the mercy of "oppressive forces" until he confessed to preposterous crimes he had never committed.
		In "Darkness at Noon," Koestler describes Rubashov waiting for his executioners to come to his cell: "Looking back over his past, it seemed to him now that for 40 years he had been running amuck.

	Darkness At Noon: A Post-Christian Age
		The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
		It is speaking of a judgment, of a day of the Lord that was near on Joel's horizon, and yet distant on the horizon of the eschaton, when the Lord Himself shall come to judge the living and the dead.
		The imagery of judgment in this passage -- of the sun turned to darkness and the moon to blood -- is a foreboding image that gives us in a graphic picture a sign of the times, and around us we can see a darkening sky that threatens a darkening sun.

		He is remembered today for his milestone novel Darkness at Noon and for his co-editing of the great anti-Stalinist collection of essays by disillusioned intellectuals The God That Failed.
		From the first page of Darkness at Noon you become aware that the daily realization of impending execution is a powerful stimulus, both to reflection and to fatalism.
		Throughout the novel, Koestler is at pains to stress the similarity of totalitarianism to religion and to make the related comparison between dissent and heresy.

	Darkness at Noon : Reviews, Prices, Deals
		Beautifully written as if Koestler were a pupil of Tolstoy or Dostoevsky, "Darkness at Noon" is one of the most influential books I've ever read.
		Darknesss at Noon seemed to be the next appropriate book to pick up off the shelf.
		It is, perhaps, either a sad testament to human nature, or an indicia of the power of great literature, that the story of the fate of one (fictional) man, Rubashov, can feel more compelling than the narrative description (in "Stalin" and "Trotsky") of the fate of millions.

		We are supposed to be reminded of N. Bukharin, the Stalin apologist turned scapegoat, who was executed in 1938 having pathetically confessed to phantom crimes—the man whose fate would inspire George Orwell's character Squealer, in Animal Farm.
		Darkness at Noon mainly chronicles how Rubashov is held in prison, undergoing intense interrogation by the GPU, the secret police.
		The plot of the novel is the unfolding of his despair.

	PostEverything : 'Darkness At Noon' by A Hawk And A Hacksaw [The Leaf Label] : Buy Here
		Barnes expands A Hawk And A Hacksaw’s membership from one (it was a one-man band on the debut) to many; he employs an orchestra of instruments that careen, carol and collide in melodic parity.
		It includes trumpeter Dan Clucas, who played with Henry Grimes and toured with Arthur Lee on the recent Love tours, and tuba player Mark Weaver, who has done time with Anthony Braxton (the three of them also play in the free-improv Kosmos Spoetzel Orchestra).
		Darkness At Noon unrolls the curtain to a circus of musical curiosities, and Barnes presides over it all with the zeal of a grand conductor.

	Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler
		Darkness at Noon is a fictionalized account of Stalin's purges of the 1930's in which Nicolas Salmanovitch Rubashov is arrested after years of service to the party.
		Most of the characters in Darkness at Noon remain relatively unfurled.
		But such sentiment is quickly extinguished, yielding to the former darkness, "Perhaps the Revolution [came] too early, an abortion with monstrous, deformed limbs." He even compares his situation with that of Moses' forty years in the desert, before he is shown the Promised Land.

		"Have you read Darkness at Noon?" "You have to read Darkness at Noon!" I wasn't trying to disobey these people - all of whom I trust - they're all smart, and they seem to know what I like and what I'm interested in...
		Darkness at Noon was on "the list", I assure you - it was even on my Amazon Wish List.
		What fascinated me about that book was that I was taking poly sci at the time I read the book and I had a professor who was so into the concept of socialism and anti-capitalism.

		Essentially, a gallows on which "the permanent things" are lynched without a trial; an altar, or a slaughterhouse in which "the permanent things" are sacrificed to the dark gods of Baal and Ashtaroth and Moloch: power and greed and lust.
		It is a "darkness at noon," as Koesteler's title says, because noon is when eclipses happen.
		It is not the sun that is in darkness during an eclipse, as it seems, but the earth.

	Splendid Magazine reviews A Hawk and a Hacksaw: Darkness at Noon
		Hell, even the differences between Darkness at Noon and his self-titled 2003 debut show that he can't sit still for long -- a lot can happen during two years in Barnes's world.
		Do not confuse this description with messy or haphazard: in the same way that Miles Davis used the best of the best to style his direction, this group has the talent, chops and seasoned mastermind (Barnes) to help you believe that their concoctions are perfectly natural.
		Opener "Laughter in the Dark" will draw you in from the beginning: footsteps trail across a stage and an Italian missy introduces the piece.

	A Hawk and a Hacksaw: Darkness at Noon: Pitchfork Record Review
		Jeremy Barnes, who is still perhaps best known as the drummer for Neutral Milk Hotel, has not allowed the grass to grow beneath his feet during that outfit's continuing period of inactivity.
		Darkness at Noon, the second album from AHAAH, is a frenetic, dizzying pastiche of Eastern European folk, klezmer, mariachi, Appalachian fiddle music, and evocative jazz.
		A Hawk and a Hacksaw's eponymous 2004 debut was essentially a Barnes solo act, but on Darkness at Noon he receives valuable assistance from such talented vets as trumpeter Dan Clucas and tuba player Mark Weaver, and the album even includes unspecified contributions from NMH's Jeff Mangum.

		A HAWK AND A HACKSAW - Darkness At Noon
		Opening with 'Laughter in the Dark', A Hawk and A Hacksaw set about reconfiguring a traditional Transylvanian folk song into a lazily addictive horn led excursion down a harp/bagpipe and choral by-way producing something that is far less pretentious than that description might suggest.
		'Darkness at Noon' may start off grand, but it is just as comfortable getting intimate, with the accordion and piano led 'Europa' spinning a miasmic web of quite hypnotic instrumentation which continues on the simalarily restrained Tom Waits-esque 'Wicky Pocky'.

		Which brings me to Darkness at Noon, Arthur Koestler's 1940 novel about Stalin's show trials of the 1930s.
		The last two paragraphs -- you can imagine what happens -- are among the most quoted in the literature of Soviet communism, and there's no way it could be more chilling, more coldly effective and heartbreakingly true.
		But Darkness at Noon questions the first part of that formulation.
