Two things from last year
by rosalyster
I wonder if it is the case that you truly become an adult when you are happy not to be on holiday anymore. So, so happy. It’s Monday today! Everyone is back at work! The birds are singing in slightly mocking tones!
Here are two things from last year.
This one is about when I could not understand the movie Heat, and took it all very badly. Jarred took the beautiful photos, because he is the best:

This one is about Middlemarch, and Blood Meridian, and how much I will never read A Little Life, probably:

Hi!
I came across your Middlemarch essay and loved your writing! I felt the same thing – about how you had to age a bt to appreciate certain great works beyond face value. And I totally agree you don’t get inspired over night – not many articles make a point of that!
I read Middlemarch in college and didn’t like it – but your essay made me want to read it again.
Thanks for good work,
Sally
