Exhibition opening tonight

9/10/2014

The Avalon Art Gallery's current exhibition opens tonight and has work from artists from Pittwater.
The exhibition looks fabulous. I have put the red work in - my name is red. The vessels dissolve back into the penumbra and look best at dusk as they hover between here and not here.

I am Reading….

Remembrance of Things Past by Marcel Proust
This has taken me some time and I have another 150 pages to go. It has been a challenging read and I find some of it extremely funny. I will let you know when I have finished it. Read more Austen and Mitford as light relief during this period. As well as other less memorable books. 21.02.21

The Dutch House by Anne Patchett
Such a wonderful book, I loved reading this, a perfect joy.

Olive again by Elizabeth Strout.
Just saying - a fabulous snall book. Olive is such a plausible, flawed character.

Milkman by Anna Burns
I have so loved reading this book. You enter another world where the dial has been moved and you have to tune in and recalibrate to this fine tone. It is wonderful.

The Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner
This book is brilliant. I had never heard of him, and thank you to Avalon Library for having him on the shelf. I started with The Spectator Bird, then Crossing to Safety and now this book. I think I have read them in the right order for me. He is no slouch, having won lots of prizes including the Pulitzer. His writing is exquisite.

Nutshell by Ian McEwan
This book is brilliant.

The Fish Can Sing by Halldor Laxness
I had never heard of Halldor Laxness before, but I loved this book, and found it extremely funny. And he did win the Nobel Prize for Literature, so obviously no slouch.

Rereading
The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford - hilarious and some of it so clever and finely drawn.

Persuasion by Jane Austen. Again

The Transit of Venus. I reread this book almost every year.

I am not reading
My Brilliant Friend. Have I missed something here?
