The bad is called good
We live now in an era where normal values have been displaced.
The good is called bad, the bad - good.

Dark suspicion
I've got a deep dark suspicion
that pretty soon we should start
looking around for another planet
for ourselves.

Laughing Lhursday*
Hens have two legs
I have two legs.
Ergo, I am a hen.
* [For first time visitors]:
Nah. It's just that I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

A process of discovery
As a writer, I write to see.
If I knew how it would end, I wouldn't write.
It's a process of discovery.

Beers & Books (418) – By the Lake
Oh, a book by John that I don't know yet? So I asked my bookseller to order it for me in the USA. A few days later I held ‘By the Lake’ in my hands, opened it and started reading. ‘The morning was clear. There was no wind on the lake.’ A déjà vu? I know that one, don't I? And right: Exactly the beginning of ‘That They May Face The Rising Sun’. Vintage International had just changed the title. John McGahern (12 November 1934 – 30 March 2006) |
