"It seems an age ago now, and it was." - Play All by Clive James


Okay, look at this first sentence, it is both compelling and says very little about the content of the book. It guess it tells us that Clive James is writing this as someone who is no longer a spring chicken.

Latest Review: 28 Disastrous Dates: A (Mostly True) Humourous Memoir by Poppy Mortimer

Post by Stacey Harkins 1 »

She is lost, and he must find her, but she leaves no trail, no footprints or spoor of any kind, and the way is dark, for she has gone into the forest of the night, where the trees are black and leafless, where the moon and stars do not exist, where the sun will never rise, where the path is ever downward, yet he descends in a desperate search, for she does not belong here among the dead, not when she is so alive in his mind and heart, does not belong here, does not belong here, and although finding her is his only hope of joy, his only reason to exist, there are moments when he senses her within arm’s reach in the blinding darkness—and terror wakes him.

I whistled as I strolled down Holywell Street on my way to the Bod to do a few hours of research.
Whistling was not something I was prone to do, but the satisfaction expanding under my sternum had
to escape somehow.
