Re: JCO: Missing Mom

Eric, Cyrano, et. al......

 

 

I think the idea of discussing Missing Mom in November is an excellent idea.  It will be fun to discuss a work of JCO's that we are all reading for the first time....as Cyrano says, often we get caught up in reviewer bashing, and don't discuss the book itself.  I believe that's partly because some of us have such definite ideas of JCO's older works that we fear simply repeating ourselves......anyway, let's do it:)

 

By the way, re: the Nobel Prize------in embarrassment at having become hysterical over perfectly harmless comparison's to JCO's work and Hurricane Katrina, I promise NOT to become hysterical if JCO does not win.  For this ONE year, I will not trash whoever gets it and drag out all my old Graham Green bitterness.   Now, for those who know me, that is REAL penance LOL.  But here is keeping my fingers crossed for JCO tomorrow.

 

Best to all,

Christa
