Just finished. Good stuff. These Maigret tales all seem to be first rate ( Simenon wrote a whole of them).

Bruce Springsteen, in a Dec. 1984 interview with Kurt Loder (Rolling Stone Magazine). I was struck by how much of this could be applied to the entire country in 2025.

"We’re all just cracked mirrors, pretending our reflections are whole. Throwing stones from glass houses, like our own sins don’t echo when they hit. It's funny how we shame the fire in someone else’s soul, while hiding the smoke in our lungs.
We bleed the same guilt,"

Currently reading. Volume 2. Picks up with Blood on the Tracks, and ends with Tempest. Very well done. (I loved volume 1).

I have to admire an essayist who can bring up Denis Johnson, classic cars, PJ Harvey, the Rolling Stones, Cormac McCarthy, motorcycles, trucks, and poetry. Anyway, she's a hell of a writer. This book is on sale today for $2.99. Her novel "The Flamethrowers" is outstanding.

Trump Tax. Hard to see how this survives politically even in the short term.

Currently reading. If you liked Lincoln in the Bardo, you may like this. It can be pretty grim, but there is also beauty and love. I can see why Kang won the 2024 Nobel in Literature. She's an astonishing writer with tremendous range.

This is a novel (and recent read). Excellent read.

I read this again a few years back. One of the best books I've ever read. Catton had a poet's heart. (Picture is of the cover of my very old edition (which I still have).)
