“The clock is ticking. Let it. In your hands, a book that was in their hands, passed to you across the negligible years of time. Art is indifferent to time, and if you want proof, you have it. Pick up the book. It is still warm.“
Wishing a happy birthday today to Jeanette Winterson.
so-soI really enjoyed some essays and wasn‘t sure about others, unsure if it‘s a pick or a soso. I adored her writing about Virginia Woolf and Gertrude Stein, but I‘m not so sure about her bias against computers, which might just be that this is an outdated book and her views have moved on (how will we appreciate beauty when the whole world is on CD-rom??), and her essay on sexuality didn‘t leave a lot of room for bisexuals which always bothers me.
Art theory, the Thames and a family of geese to look at this lunchtime. After reading Choked yesterday I can‘t stop thinking about all the emissions and litter here even tho the Thames is one of the world‘s cleaner urban rivers (I think). This is a lovely calm place to read but there‘s SO MUCH litter 😞 I might try and come back with a plastic bag and a litter picker if I can borrow one one lunchtime
