You can break all stories down into two kinds: a Flora Post comes to town (and tidies up), or a Flora Post leaves town (and everything turns to chaos).

Cold Comfort Farm is just such a wonderful comic work. In essence a Jane Austen heroine walks into a Thomas Hardy novel.

I own a beautiful watercolor by an Irish man called Sir Robert Ponsonby Staples, who was also known as “the mad baronet” bc he refused to wear shoes, believing the earth provided life giving currents of electricity through one’s bare feet. Good painter, though.

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

I just keep thinking that Maurine Bowra would be so happy, and so mad, at the Homer discourse. He’d probably write a terrible poem about it.

I want a TV miniseries adaptation of the Táin that is incredibly faithful to its structure, e.g. there is an entire episode where Cú Chulainn rests and recovers in the shade of a tree while messengers run to and from a nearby battle to give him updates

You want a Netflix series that would rock? Follow Paine, from strikes in England to the American and French Revolutions to almost being guillotined to being saved by James Monroe to getting pissed at Adams and Washington and them abandoning him. Hamilton pales by comparison plot-wise.
