	China Miéville: The Tain
		The Tain of China Miéville's title refers to a thin layer of silver or tin foil such as is used on the backing of a mirror.
		In this case, the tain in question divides the world of humans from the world of imagos, which are never entirely defined by Miéville, but which are clearly antithetical to humans and live in a sort of mirror world...usually.
		Some time prior to the beginning of the story, the imagos have managed to breach the tain between their world and ours, laying waste to vast tracts of London, which is now sparsely populated by imagos and humans alike, although in separate regions.

		This is the story of a 'tain' or cattle raid perpetrated on Ulster by Ailill and Medb, king and queen of Connacht, along with their allies from all parts of Ireland.
		The 'Tain' and its peripheral tales are the story of Ulster's defense, first by Cuchulain, and finally by the massed men of Ulster, risen from their pangs.
		While the world of the Tain is clearly a strongly patriarchial society, Medb is a powerful monarch, essentially co-equal in authority with her husband and his superior in charisma.

	China Mieville, The Tain
		With an introduction by M. John Harrison that you must read last, and a quote by Jorge Luis Borges at the end that should appear at the beginning, you immediately sense that this story will be about reflections.
		The Tain is a remarkable story of survival and coping, of making the best of a horrible situation.
		It shows the adaptivity of humanity, that we can survive almost anything, and the ending is so unexpected and so fitting that you may feel the top of your head lifting off as you read it.

		Tain is an attractive town unfortunately often missed out by visitors because of the A9 bypassing it.
		The town is full of wonderful architecture, there are lots of small winding streets off of the main town centre full of old buildings and shops so don't think that the centre of town is it, because there is a lot more to find than the main street.
		Tain is built at the edge of the links where you will find a golf course and a lovely park with a good play area for children.

		The final part of this musical tapestry is mostly a conversation between a woman and daughter, a percussive rock song that snaps and snarls, before ending with another word from the Crone.
		"The Tain" is in short form, everything I admire about the Decemberists - ability to move casually and effectively between disparate kinds of music, tempo, emotional investments, and to somehow fashion a coherent whole from the tensions.
		TAIN ain't background music, nor is it the usual baroque pop nugget one gets from this Portland group.

	The Tain, 1969
		These formal elements make it clear that The Tain is a production of carefully choreographed visual information, one comparable with the unity of Verlaine's language, Bonnard's arabesques, and the floral font in Parallèlement...
		In his Tain illustrations, the ability of le Brocquy's drawings to emerge and dissolve gives fitting expression to the peculiar marriage of mysticism and raw physicality contained in Kinsella's text.
		Like gestures of primeval fear, strength, or passion, the "explosive" energy of the brushwork captures the physical exuberance of the text, as can be seen in the images of "bodily matters" and of violence, as in the several drawings of Cúchulainn's "warp spasm".
