Struggling through unprecedented personal shite including my partner's cancer, I remind myself of my work, the best part of myself: this is a very old piece, published in 2016 I beleive. I'm proud of it:

'COFFIN?!'

The sublime Joseph Cotten in what is probably my fav film ever, THE THIRD MAN (Carol Reed, 1949).

Happy Heavenly birthday, Joseph Cotten ❤

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY, SIGMUND FREUD!
Thank you for inspiring some of my best work.
Grateful you were spared the horrors surrounding your final years, and died in London.

The 2 authors I currently most adore and identify with, Stefan Zweig and Klaus Mann, both committed suicide.
Troubling.

'I find it increasingly difficult to work and to live (which means almost a pleonasm as the two terms, life and work, are practically tantamount to me). There are moments when I feel almost incapable of facing the world mess and my personal mess any longer...'
- Klaus Mann, letter to a friend, 1948.
