How've you all been?
Back from travels, back on line and all the other positive things one could be back from or for. Talking of backs, you turn your back for an instant and look what happens!
Been re-re-re-reading Chandler and found him using the word "murdereree" towards the end of *The Long Good-Bye*!
(Always tried to work out the ways in which RC fits in with my literary tastes - well he's transatlantic for a start and on re-re-reading it really comes across - what's a US view on his voice?)
Saw people talking about Paul Auster down below - and also about the hollowness of big ideas. Anyone read *The Music of Chance*?
