This week I remembered to read Within a Budding Grove and even got my 30 pages done early. But then Friday rolled around and I was on my second day of a migraine and Harriets school was having its annual Christmas pageant. I had volunteered this year so my mind was anywhere but on Proust. Just before bed last ...1 week ago -

The Far East is a glittering prize for SA wine exporters, a bit like a bibulous Maneki Neko, one of those fat red plastic cats sitting next to the till, waving profits in through the door. But one that is unlikely to be won as long as we describe our offerings as “redolent of [...]No related posts.Related posts ...2 weeks ago -

In his indispensable Readers Guide to Remembrance of Things Past ((1984) translator Terence Kilmartin devotes a 12-line entry to the topic of "monocles."

They may not blow me away (I’m afraid I’m sort of granite-like), they may not change my world (I rather like my world), and I might enjoy them more for me than for them ...3 weeks ago -
