Just a quick note to say that I put Julie C. Graham's review of Abigail Thomas'
Safekeeping: Some True Stories of a Life up over at the
Escape Into Life website at the beginning of the weekend. Julie was interested in the non-linear and sometimes dizzying approach to memoir that Thomas takes as she talks about marriage to three different husbands. And I was interested to learn in the process of putting the post up that the father she also describes is Lewis Thomas, he of
Lives of a Cell fame. Perhaps talent for the essay is a hitherto unsuspected genetic trait.
I should also note here that Julie has a two part essay on the adventures of women travelers that just went up at
Storyacious. You can find these
HERE and
HERE .
And what have
I been reading, you ask? Well, several things. A Robert Barnard mystery, a new book on censorship and
Ulysses, a Swedish political thriller, and another classic British mystery centered around a school. But all in good time, my friends. All in good time.
