A big thank you to Nikki Ummel and Michelle Nicholson of LMNL Arts for including me in their monthly reading series, at the Domino last Sunday, June 23rd. The event was so much fun, and it was a pleasure meeting and listening to the other readers: Kelsey Wartelle, Danny Fitzgerald, and Brooke Champagne.

Ilse's status update
Ilse
is on page 178 of 352 of Paintings in Proust: The Princesse, who did not know so much as the painter's name, nodded her head vehemently and smiled ardently, in order to manifest her admiration for this picture. But the intensity of her mimicry could not fill the place of that light which is absent from our eyes so long as we do not understand what people are talking to us about.

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.

Hi Teresa -- Thanks for being my Goodreads friend ! I recently wrote reviews of books by Krishnamurti, Virginia Woolf, Stephen Hawking, Erich Fromm and Karl Marx. I'm very keen on getting feedback of some kind on them. Any comments you can make on these other other reviews of mine will be much appreciated ! Yours truly, Andrew B. Noselli p.s. Is this the best way to write to you as a GR friend ?
I like your new profile photo also, though I was thrown off stride for a moment when I first saw it. You look very serious - professorial? querying?
