In March. Cool, windy, rocky, blue skies, movie set on the Rio Grande, long drive to get there, long drive back, reading ‘Battle Of Wits’ at night, good food, good friends June and April, wine, carrying hay at night to Buck in a high wind and hay scattered all over the mountains all the way to Stude Butte.
Lighthouse Island was supposed to be out in July — then August —now Amazon and Barnes and Noble say October — no matter, it will be out sooner or later. Am starting on a sort of sequel which, like Vance’s The Dying Earth series, takes different characters through the same ecological disaster. Foudn this image of Girl In The Future City in Bing images, so there is Nadia, on a rooftop, calculating her escape route. The only incongruous element in this image is the river.
Ares has brought rain and a birthday.
One of my favorite books and an amazing true story. Two different groups shipwrecked on an Antarctic island within the same year but never ran into each other. One group survived very well, the other fell into cannibalism, starvation and fisticuffs. The difference between the two groups is a study in itself.
I’ve been advised not to enable comments, sorry! since otherwise one would spend a great deal of time getting rid of spam and deleting comments by nutcases. Only one comment is allowed and that’s from me and I think it’s stunning.
