May I commend to you THE PEREGRINE by J A Baker published by nyrb It came out in the 60s and I bought it then I don't know if it changed me blah blah it did make me in some ways Haven't seen the copy I had for years and then heard someone refer to it a few days ago, realised it was on sale again, bought it and started reading it on the way home Chapter 2 begins: The hardest thing of all to see is what is really there OK if you don't want to read a book about essex and peregrines and a man behaving oddly in a book in which nothing happens except in the man's head and to various unfortunate small birds, fair enough do consider it though it is wonderful writing i don't think that the teenager that i was appreciated how wonderful it is, not getting much beyond _peregrine good_ like Frankenstein's creation in the film i felt it singing to me last night * I am about to try to do 10 days' work in 5 and so *may not be here much starting now that could be good because i have been, still am, making a lot of noise whilst writing elsewhere about how good silence is but i want to be here and shall if i complete my day's allotment early or just get bored post if i am silent it's nothing anyone has said cheers L ----- UNFRAMED GRAPHICS by Lawrence Upton 42 pages; A5 paperback; colour cover Writers Forum 978 1 84254 277 4 wfuk.org.uk/blog ---- Lawrence Upton Dept of Music Goldsmiths, University of London
