 I found this beutiful woman on a site about Satie. Since I have no French I don't know what the article is about and what connection this woman has with Satie. Does anyone has French? |

Any other Peter de Vries enthusiasts here? Not yet! My dentist recently recommended me to buy a hummingbird, though. |

Is that for some kind of special ornothological flossing technique, tinners? |

Anyone else got an appetite for graphic novels? If so, check this out. Quite extraordinary, and extraordinarily beautiful (visually and in its narrative). Never read anything quite like it.  |

Just out of interest, what do you understand by 'graphic novel'?
I only ask because a distinguished music critic (and resident of Chiswick) once said to me, 'I know what's going to happen to you, my dear. In a few years' time you'll have given up writing about music and become a graphic novelist.'
This was in response to me telling him that I was writing some short texts to go alongside some pictures a photographer friend had just taken of me. I don't know what he was imagining!

Wicki has it thus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_novelAnd I wouldn't disagree with much of that. They can be extremely flexible in format, however, and just as abstract, non-narrative and modernist as can literature proper. The one I posted above, for instance (and unusually) has no words, at all. |

 Simply the best book to have by your bedside - a workshop of potential literature/art/photography/cartoons/cookery etc Speaking of which, this is my favorite standard answer when asked what my favorite book is, or when anyone argues that modernist/formalist art is incapable of deep emotional resonance:  |
