I greatly enjoyed Warrenpoint, and I continue to admire Burgess. I read the excerpt from Nadas' Parallel Lives in the Paris Review recently and found it disorientingly charming. Certain writers have a gift for compacting experience on the page, or expanding the literary moment so that it contains multitudes, or however it is best said. Those who have this gift must be followed, and the excerpt alone demonstrated that Nadas had the gift. Hope your recovery is continuing apace.Collideorscapenoreply@blogger.com
