I know because I'm on the road 365 days a year, and in 2023, I traveled to a few destinations I can personally recommend.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">I don't just parachute into these places for a few days with my reporter's notepad. I spent several weeks in almost all the cities on my list. I shopped in the markets, explored the city and befriended the locals. Sometimes, I also brought my college-age sons along for the adventure.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">You'd think "What's your favorite destination?" would be the question people ask me the most, but it's not. (I'll share the number-one question in just a minute.)</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">First, here's my list of the 12 best places to see in 2024, along with the best time to visit. </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/1antartica_chris_elliot.jpg" /></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>January: Antarctica</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">You'll want to sail down to Antarctica during the Southern Hemisphere summer. Temperatures are relatively mild and the normally tempestuous Drake Passage is calmer. I flew to Ushuaia, Argentina, and boarded the <a href="https://www.hurtigruten.com/en-us/expeditions/" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Hurtigruten Expeditions</a><em> MS Fridtjof Nansen</em> for a 10-day cruise down to Antarctica in late December and arrived in the White Continent just before the New Year. It was spectacular. Even though it looks a little risky, you should not miss a hike on the ice to see the penguins. If you're really brave, try the polar plunge into subfreezing water. Unfortunately, we missed our chance to dive into the Antarctic because the glacier was calving, sending large sheets of ice crashing into the water. Go see it before it's gone.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/1qatar_depositphotos.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>February: Doha, Qatar</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Qatar is one of the most underrated destinations in the world. The weather in late winter is nearly perfect -- warm days, cool nights. My sons and I spent time wandering around the world-famous Souk Waqif, a crowded market where you can buy almost anything, but the main activity seems to be drinking coffee and smoking vanilla-scented shisha (we tried the coffee, but skipped the shisha). Highlights of our visit included an afternoon spent at the <a href="https://nmoq.org.qa/" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">National Museum of Qatar,</a> which explains where this gleaming metropolis came from, and a journey to the desert to see the monoliths by American sculptor Richard Serra. </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/1christchurch_chris_elliot.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>March: Christchurch, New Zealand</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Christchurch, on New Zealand's South Island, feels like a different planet. March is early fall in the Southern Hemisphere, but even then, the hills remain a brilliant shade of green. You'll recognize this place if you've ever seen one of the Lord of the Rings movies, but there is so much more to it than the striking cinematic scenery. Christchurch is a welcoming city with terrific coffee shops (my favorite was Espresso Studio by Fushoken) and great dining options that are easy on the wallet. I spent days wandering around Hagley Park in the middle of town and admiring the Christchurch Botanical Gardens. Make sure you get out of town to hike up in the mountains. You don't have to love Middle Earth to enjoy New Zealand's South Island.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/1sushi_depositphotos.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>April: Kyoto, Japan</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">If you can get to Kyoto in April, you should. The cherry trees bloom in mid-March and usually reach their peak in early April. But even if you miss Sakura season, you really need to see this place. The former Japanese capital is filled with ancient temples and shrines. This is also the place to go to learn how to make sushi from the artisans at <a href="https://www.kyoto-sushimaking.com/" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Kyoto Sushimaking</a> or, as you are struggling to adjust to the new time zone, find a place that serves authentic ramen. My sons and I kept coming back to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kyotoengine/?hl=es" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Kyoto Engine Ramen</a>, hidden down a narrow alley and always crowded with jet-lagged expats. </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/1hoian_chris_elliot.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>May: Hoi An, Vietnam</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Vietnam was the biggest surprise during my 2023 travels. I spent a long weekend in Hoi An, in the central part of the country, and I'm still processing the natural beauty of the place, with its steep green mountains and postcard-perfect beaches. Hoi An is an ancient city filled with temples and a rich history of various cultural influences, including Chinese and French. Make sure you get down to the marketplace and out on the Thu Bon River at dusk, when the boats drift downstream with their colorful lanterns. And check out the pho for dinner over at the <a href="https://www.anantara.com/en/hoi-an" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Anantara Hoi An Resort</a>. </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/1japan_depositphotos.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>June: Fukuoka, Japan</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">If you're looking for something different in Japan, outside of Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo, you should check out Fukuoka. It is easily the most friendly of the Japanese cities I visited. If you make this a second stop in Japan, I highly recommend getting there via the Shinkansen (bullet train), which is an engineering marvel. Fukuoka also has excellent shopping. We stocked up on green tea before heading back to the States. If you can catch the hydrofoil out to Iki Island, it's well worth it. Don't miss dinner at the <a href="https://www.kairi-iki.com/en/" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Iki Retreat</a> if you go. It's worth the trip. </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/1chile_depositphotos.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>July: Santiago, Chile</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Chile has some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world, and there's no better time to visit than during the middle of the Southern Hemisphere winter. Some of the top resorts, such as <a href="https://skiportillo.com/" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Portillo</a>, are only a short drive from Santiago.<strong> </strong>Even if you visit Chile during the summer, you can still look at the snow-capped Andes mountains and think about the world-class skiing in the southern hemisphere.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/1korea_depositphotos.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>August: Seoul, South Korea</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">I know this is going to sound strange, but the best part of visiting Seoul was taking long walks in Gyeongui Line Forest Park, a three-mile-long urban park that used to be an old railroad line. It takes you through some of Seoul's famous neighborhoods, and you'll find an almost endless variety of coffeeshops and restaurants where you can stop and enjoy the view. Sure, there are irresistible cultural sites, such as Gyeongbokgung Palace and Jogyesa Temple. But I will always remember Seoul for its vibrant coffeeshop culture and friendly people.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/1losangeles_depositphotos.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>September: Los Angeles</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">I returned to the States for a few weeks this fall. I stayed in Marina Del Rey, Calif.,  but spent some time along the beach in Venice and Santa Monica. And there's one takeaway from talking to shopkeepers and tour operators. Early fall is really the best time to visit L.A. Hotel rates, particularly in touristy areas, tend to slip during the shoulder season. I love L.A. during the early fall, and if you find yourself near the beach, you should check out Santa Monica's <a href="https://www.santamonicapier.org/walk-through-pier-history-tour" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">A Walk Through Pier History</a> tour, which tells the backstory of this iconic attraction. And who doesn't love an old merry-go-round?</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"> </span></span></p> <p><img src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/thailand_chris_elliot.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>October: Chiang Rai, Thailand</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">The Golden Triangle region, where Myanmar, Laos and Thailand meet, used to be known for its opium trade. Today, it's all about tourism. Although the rainy season is over, it still isn't too busy here, so you'll practically have all the temples to yourself and can take long walks through the rainforest or along the rice fields without having to dodge busloads of visitors. There are elephants here, and there may be no better place to see them than at the <a href="https://www.anantara.com/en/golden-triangle-chiang-rai" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp &amp; Resort</a>, which also offers dramatic views of the Ruak River and beyond it, Myanmar and Laos.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/cambodia_chris_elliot.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>November: Siem Riep, Cambodia</strong> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Words fail me when trying to describe the experience of watching the sun rise over Angkor Wat, the largest religious structure in the world. It's a historic landmark of breathtaking scale that is being devoured by the jungle. I've never seen anything like it, and I probably never will again. Go to the main temple complex just before dawn and watch the sun come up. Getting to Siem Riep is much now easier thanks to a new international airport, and there is plenty to do in the city. But this destination is all about the temples. You'll need at least three days to even get a sense of the scale of Angkor Wat, but it will be something you'll never forget.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/hobart_depositphotos.jpg" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>December: Hobart, Tasmania</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">There may be no better place to spend the end of the year than in Hobart, Australia. It is the peak of the Southern Hemisphere summer, and Hobart is one of the coolest Australian cities in which to enjoy it. You can watch the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race from the suburb of Battery Point or catch the ferry out to the <a href="https://mona.net.au/" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Museum of Old and New Art (Mona)</a> to see one of the most bizarre art museums in the world. If you can get out of town, check out Cradle Mountain and visit with the Tasmanian Devils at <a href="https://devilsatcradle.com/" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Devils@Cradle Sanctuary.</a> </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">So is there an answer to the question, "What's your favorite destination?" With so many places to see, I can't pick just one favorite. I love <em>all</em> these places.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">And yet, this isn't the most frequently asked question. My friends have stopped asking me<em> how </em>I am; now they ask me <em>where</em> I am. Given the fact that I don't have a permanent home, it's a fair question.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">So where am I now? Santiago, Chile, for the next few days, and then headed to Uruguay. By the way, you can follow all of my adventures and catch my podcast on my free newsletter, <a href="https://www.elliottconfidential.com/" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">Elliott Confidential</a>.

They also pay premiums for guarantees about origin and quality. There has been a corresponding rise in so-called geographical indicator registrations, with the 3,500th listed earlier this year.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Items included on the EU Geographical Indications register cover different foodstuffs that are either applying for or have been accepted for having their geographic origin related name protected from being used for similar foods produced elsewhere.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Europe has the highest number of registered products, with most relating to wine, agricultural products and foodstuffs, as well as spirits and beers.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Champagne is among those with a widely recognized connection to its place of origin, which assures consumers about the regional and cultural values as well as the products’ characteristics and quality.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Like high-value household product brand names (for example, Coca-Cola, which has been valued at US $97.88 billion) geographical indication registered names also attract substantial dollar values.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">This is because of strong international awareness, familiarity, and appeal among consumers.

When the same plot line appears in a work of literary fiction, like Jon McGregor’s <em>Reservoir 13</em>,<strong> </strong>the results can be <a href="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/girl-vanishes-seasons-pass-jon-mcgregor-s-reservoir-13" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">deeply haunting and powerful</a>.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><em>The Sun Walks Down, </em>a new novel by the Australian writer Fiona McFarlane, falls squarely within this elite niche. It’s an outstanding achievement and should find a place among the best works of fiction in 2023. </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">In 1883, a child goes missing during a sandstorm in the barren landscape of southern Australia. This event sets in motion a range of actions and consequences in and around the small community of Fairly. The teeming cast includes (but isn’t limited to) Denny Wallace, the 6-year-old missing child; his mother, father, and five sisters; a priest undergoing a crisis of faith; two native trackers; a newlywed constable and his wife; and a Swedish exile painter and his wife. </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/2australiabook.jpg" style="height:434px; width:650px" typeof="foaf:Image" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Yet another character is omnipresent throughout—the vast, nearly uninhabitable Australian backcountry and its eternal companion, the burning sun (“the sky again turned an apocalyptic red”). </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Understandably, at first, a reader might shy away from this seeming deluge of characters. But McFarlane quickly sharpens her portraits of people looking for Denny Wallace. Three country men are “shortish, squarish, with high surprised foreheads,” while the constable has a “whole wide permanent face, each freckle as dependable as a brick.”  </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Everyone involved in the search comes with their own distinct needs and concerns—not all of which have much to do with the missing boy.  </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Inevitably, some characters have more life than others. Cissy, the boy’s strong-willed 15-year-old sister, strongly resembles Mattie Ross, the spiky narrator of <em>True Grit</em>. Sergeant Foster, a veteran lawman and occasional author, stands out too. Here Sgt. Foster is viewed through the eyes of Joanna, the town’s matriarch:</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/3australiabook.jpg" style="height:650px; width:424px" typeof="foaf:Image" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">“Foster, more malleable than expected, produces those active, anticipatory noises men make before they stand to leave a room … She remembers that his book includes a chapter on the heroic women of the bush, who sigh with loneliness in the melancholy twilight, as if the sun is always setting and the trees are always dense and straight and in a violet haze. He surveys the room as if he’s just entered it, he makes a chivalric gesture of farewell, and finally he leaves.”</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><em>The Sun Walks Down </em>takes place over the course of a week. With each passing day, the search for Denny Wallace grows more agonizing, both for the community and the reader. McFarlane moves seamlessly between viewpoints, offering a close look at the local citizens’ passions and misgivings. </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">She also sympathetically portrays the native trackers, Billy Rough and Jimmy Possum, as they try to placate the white townspeople—all while maintaining their dignity, regardless of the callous treatment they often experience. At a difficult moment during the search, Billy reflects upon the course of events:</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/4australiabook.jpg" style="height:434px; width:650px" typeof="foaf:Image" /></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">“Billy wonders if the rest of his life will be spent crossing back and forth across the plain, which he has heard described as an empty wasteland but Billy knows to be dense with motion: the motion of ancestors, spirits, the animals that should be here and the animals that shouldn’t, songs, stories, people, goods, water, minerals, the railways, the roads, stock tracks, fire and the celestial bodies. When he crosses the plain, he both lives inside this density and passes over it.”</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">There are many places where the author could have tripped up in this ambitious novel (her second, after <em>The Night Guest</em>)—losing the thread among a panoply of characters, failing to describe the Australian bush in fresh, interesting ways, or sacrificing momentum over the space of 350 pages. </span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif">Fiona McFarlane nimbly sidesteps these obstacles. The result is a rich, all-encompassing story that solidifies her status as a writer to be recognized and followed for years to come.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><strong>Author Bio:</strong></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif"><a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-confessions-of-gabriel-ash-lee-polevoi/18958368?aid=9079&amp;ean=9781955062589&amp;listref=our-fantastic-catalog-of-books-from-both-running-wild-and-rize" style="color:#0563c1;

Reputed to be the largest, longest, and most complex composition ever written, Havergal Brian’s Symphony No. 1 “The Gothic” is a colossal piece of classical music requiring a number of musicians so vast that it has only been performed four times since its completion in 1927 (an eight-year undertaking on Brian’s part).  The legend behind the symphony is riddled with rumors, including music that wrote itself and a curse, attributing its name to the film.</p> <p>           </p> <p>The film follows the trials and tribulations of eccentric but dedicated individuals as they attempt the impossible: put up a full-scale performance of “The Gothic” is the unlikeliest of places – Brisbane, Australia.  It’s a tricky enterprise.  So tricky that Gary Thorpe, who is at the heart to the production, has been trying for 28 years to make it happen.  Meanwhile, Veronica Fury had set out to chronicle this unbelievable journey and, after witnessing countless ups and downs (mostly downs), becomes so exasperated with the endless stalling that she becomes involved herself, determined to make “The Gothic” happen. </p> <p> </p> <p>The result is a documentary that spans seven trouble-riddled years, serving as a touching account of this heartwarming enterprise.  Tagging along for the ride are John Curro, the delightfully unfazed conductor of the Queensland Youth Orchestra who is confronted with the challenging task of being the maestro for the performance, and Alison Rogers, an indomitable choral master short on choristers.  The film is humorous and gripping at the same time, and you cannot help but cheer for these unlikely heroes. </p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/2symphony.jpg" style="height:537px; width:358px" /></p> <p>Sometimes there are fanciful re-enactments of Brian’s life that saturate the film with an unneeded whimsicality, as if trying to make Brian’s obscurity more accessible to audiences. And there are also some gothic animations that seem suitable but come across as clumsy instead.  They drown the film.  But what the film lacks in technical finesse is compensated by the film’s editing, which helps the build-up to an emotional climax, like a finely crafted crescendo.  That and the fervor of the film’s slightly manic protagonists, all 650-plus of them, who are at the core of this commendable tale of tenacity driven by their remarkable talents. “The Curse of the Gothic Symphony” is lesson on how a small amount of obsession and a whole lot of patience can overcome the most improbable causes, including those written in D minor.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Author Bio:</strong></p> <p><em>Angelo Franco is a contributing writer at</em> Highbrow Magazine.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/australia" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">australia</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/gothic-symphony" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">gothic symphony</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/documentary" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">documentary</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/films" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">films</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/music" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Music</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/classical-music" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">classical music</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/composer" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">composer</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/famous-compositions" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">famous compositions</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Angelo Franco</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-pop field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Popular:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">not popular</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-bot field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Bottom Slider:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Out Slider</div></div></div> Wed, 16 Apr 2014 14:07:10 +0000 tara 4600 at https://www.highbrowmagazine.com https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/3912-curse-gothic-symphony-lingers#comments
