Mind you, I'm hardly one to talk: my handwriting is terrible (a symptom of too many years taking scrawled notes as a music journo and in meetings).<br /><br />Ha, well I'd best not leave it too much longer to finish a novel; it's true that I've got over a decade before I'm in danger of troubling Fitzgerald's number, but I think I'm behind Ross Thomas already.Nick Jones (Louis XIV, the Sun King)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17716508525331235684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448581132479481740.post-67550115906293601042015-03-03T18:41:01.813-05:002015-03-03T18:41:01.813-05:00This is a very interesting find.

But that handwriting of hers is awful.<br /><br />I have still barely read any of her short fiction but this may be the post that finally prompts me to dig in a read more of it. I have a nice copy of the uncollected short stories but no motivation to read it (I figure they were uncollected for a reason). <br /><br />And I still think all those books that are trapped in your head are going to come out one day. You'll be the second coming of Penelope Fitzgerald, just you wait.Book Gluttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569975755798562829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448581132479481740.post-79997251574770619542015-03-03T16:55:47.910-05:002015-03-03T16:55:47.910-05:00Very interesting.
