I love this. Such a powerful memory of such a brilliant-minded man. Now we need to see the drawing you made of him!

I tried putting my drawing in but for some reason it would not go to scale so I put the bridge and river in instead! A great memory for me. Xxx glad you like it

This is so nice!

I just ordered in amazon Finders Keepers: Selected Prose 1971-2001,

It will be here soon!!!!

Btw, I find the "Ulysses" by James Joyce tough to follow and not because I am not Irish or because English is not my first language. But, I have enjoyed "Waiting for Godot" in YouTube!

If I hear someone say The Ulysses is my favorite book...I would pay attention to who is saying it...at least here in the USA!

So fascinating. I met him once only but was struck by what an intelligent and charming man he was. Great writing Dwina.

to be in the room with your idol and to learn from him. To have him acknowledge you were on cloud nine. A memory to last a lifetime. Loved every minute of it so proud for you and glad too.

..."I was on cloud nine, does anyone on earth know where that is?"

If I was deserted on cloud 9, I wonder who would rescue me or if I would want to be saved?
