My pre-summr reading? Just finished two novels by an old flame. The flame
itself died in the 70s, whereupon its human incarnation decided to write
novels and get married a couple of times, no doubt all as compensation for
the loss of my erotic, youthful companionship. And his.
I seem to be spending an inordinate amount of my reading time, nowadays, on
books by old someones. They're churning 'em out, in defiance of encroaching
mortality, I guess. And I feel obligated to keep up, as a
somewhat reluctant devotee of nostalgia. It seems a better way of keeping in
touch than dropping an e-mail.
