We're three on this list: me, a list member I've seen a while ago in
Brussels, and had a nice chat with over a coke (there were even no
holocaust deniers in the neigbourhood). And there is the rest of you.
Next time I see this real gentle man, we could be singing the Patti
Smith song 'We Three' (the other list member being a professional
singer).
A fine novel by Bernard-Henri Lévi about what's going on in the brain of
terorrist is mr. Lévi's novel 'Le Diable dans la tête'. Perhaps
translated in your jabber? (adding this word to have the necessary
Pynchon connection)
The double-space punctuation is a very old custom. The reason for it is
that it gives a natural pause to your eye --and thus to the brain, if
functioning--.
I'm glad for mr. Naipaul. He deserves the Glittering Prize. But this
is a very, very bad day for his former buddy Paul Theroux, whose
writings I also like.
Time for a drink.
Michel.
