Hi Alison,
Good-o, I'll look forward to The Crow. The appendices are quite amusing
in parts. I suppose not everyone gets the jokes. I really liked the
wolves, by the way.
As for Chris's reading, I recall that the French was on screen and he
read his mis-translation.
I'm too tired for anything of much. I had a very intense week at work
last week and am shying away from anything 'literary' for a short
while, if you get my drift.
best,
J
