"I am a camera with its shutters open, quite passive, recording, not thinking....Some day, all this will have to be developed, carefully printed, fixed."
Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood.
First published in 1939, reading this in our current political climate is frightening.

Infinite Lives, Infinite Deaths by Douglas Candano is a collection of horror/dark fantasy short stories set in The Philippines.
I keep saying it Filipino literature is the great hidden gem. Candano sets these stories against the backdrop of the Chinoy (Chinese-Filipino) experience.

I've just heard some terrific news. My old friend Bren Farrell has had a book published. The book is entitled "Bartholomew Hoppinlilypond." It can be purchased in Waterstones in England and will soon be available in bookshops in Ireland and hopefully worldwide. Proud of you Bren!

Like me my edition of Lives of the Artists by Giorgio Vasari is bruised, battered and all the worse for wear. Both of us however are still full of wonders.
