The stories -I love short stories!!<BR/><BR/>I would have bought a book by mail as I see there are some good writers there... <BR/><BR/>I just read Sebald's <BR/>"Rings of Saturn " and I have read two books by Edmond, his book about Philip Clairmont, and one that is a kind of factual thing (vaguely like Sebald's altho I 'discovered' the latter by chance after I had read Edmond; and they are different I can see that...) ...I would like to get his essays I did read one... and there is certain J Ross who is always interesting... despite or because he is no longer the wild man of yore.. (I also like Murray's work esp his plays)... <BR/><BR/>I gather dimly that poor old Alistair is ill? That is sad if he is... <BR/><BR/>I'm obscenely healthy for a 60 year old (touches wood and head); I just noticed Michael is in there also and Leggott and B Hall and I believe Wilkins is pretty evil (don't know the others but they are all probably also very "wicked" as they say......hmmm...I missed out it appears...I was dragged into a weekend chess tournament much against my will (!!) I mean to feed my addiction ... I mean ..whooops! Absurd but fascinating and very difficult game...<BR/><BR/>Just reading about Barthes and enjoying his "Emopiereof Signs" -like the way he writes regardless...(the Ant states that Postmodernism is finished - Que? Si? No?) - very interesting writer (Barthes) ... the point that writing needs to be 'written' by the reader and so on - so significant and challenging poetry (or writing and <BR/>or texts) almost necessarily if it is 'working' so to speak - what ever that is - may always be "unpopular" - that that said, without Loneyising the whole thing too much - <BR/>but we all like to sell or get read our 'work' (not that anything I do / have done can be so called!) ... in my case my pathetic scrawllings ... but we sneak the corse into the course of the writing so to speak.. ...<BR/><BR/>...and here there is a "Blog author"...Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272507198753290435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29676463.post-87085574524271081832008-03-24T09:46:00.000+13:002008-03-24T09:46:00.000+13:00Oh, I dunno.
