Temporary Duty Elsewhere

Posted on March 15th, 2010

I would prefer that he had already perfected everything before he practices once again on me.) So, other than somewhat curtailed blogging activity whilst I enjoy some anesthesia (good stuff), pain-killers (better stuff), and TLC (necessary stuff) for a few days, I am out of here!

A Visit with Marilynne Robinson

Posted on September 22nd, 2009

Here is the link to a wonderful article about Marilynne Robinson (including a video and several links to more superb material about the novelist). Visit and enjoy.

Now, as for myself, I return to my rereading of Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping, her 1980 novel about which I will have more to say in a few days.
