Me. Writing. Stuff.
The Tortilla Curtain by T. C. Boyle. Current read. Devouring but let’s wait till the end till I make up my mind. No sense in making a snap judgement now… #whatimreading #whatyoureading #letsNotBeHasty #iveDoneThatBefore #books #bookClub #bookNerd #tcboyle #tortillacurtain #rozzie #booksofinstagram #fiction #reading #writing
American Dirt.
This is a good book. She writes well. If it’s a drama, plot based book you want, you might like this. I’m not sure if it really got to the surface of migration though. #rozzie

Cuirt Literary Festival is digital this year.
This interview with Kevin Barry and Jan Carson is excellent.
So nice to have this reading and discussion about the writing process of both authors.

He just tells the story well. He is making the point that climate change is not being believed or accepted(there is a subtle difference) because the story is not a Great enough narrative. Interesting, it makes sense. I’ll read on.

I loved Palma and its winding streets. I always love The Festival of Writing and Ideas in Borris House, Carlow. Mayo has the most photogenic landscapes. I read short stories galore. Listened to folk reading on Culture Night in Poetry Ireland HQ. I met Jennifer Forde and Sam Bungey, creators and producers of West Cork podcast. I was amused by some parts of Michele Obama’s autobiography.
Above are 9 pictures that Instagram tells me what 2019 was for me. It’s not bad.

The testaments, Margaret Atwood.
Halfway through this.
Initially found it very slow. It’s speeding up now but the narrators are confusing me as the voice in all sound the same.
I’ll persevere.

Raymond Carver’s last collection before he passed at the awfully young age of 50.
Elephant contains the longest piece of fiction he ever wrote, Errand.
He is, without doubt, still my most loved writer. No other writer can beat his precision or depth of understanding of humans and life.
If you haven’t read any of his stories, I urge you to.
