'kay?
That daughter of yours is special, it shone out of the photograph.
Give Mrs P my regards.
Hope that the valves are still cosseting your soul!
I am reading a weird novel by a Mexican writer, it won a global award for non-English fiction, a while back. ...
It is set in the 18thC, Louis XV, Voltaire and Diderot, Rousseau, WA Mozart, etc etc, and a whole BUNCH of others feature, Descarte cops a savaging.
It is superficially, a deep attack on the enlightenment / libbrul world-view, and it is very, very good. Rousseau might have been right about us all along!
I'm only about 35% along.
'Rasero' - by Francisco Rebolledo, it is a bit long and convoluted but it sure is worth the effort.
confronting, VERY strange but recommended.
The protagonist has regular visions of 20C man, mostly of us killing and bombing, including the two nukes in 1945, and committing atrocities. The visions come with each orgasm he has ......
France has lost Canada, and any hope at India, ........, and Madame de Pompadour still runs France, while Louis XV the roto-rooter keeps trying to duck everything he can
I'm not sure whether it is VERY Mexican, very Spanish, or just very Roman Catholic. Or all three.
once again, welcome back.
