“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

MIDNIGHT AT THE EX

I watched Wotan's day fall into Thor's day tonight in The Exeter. It was a smooth movement and there was a great deal of post-festival cool. That's a lovely relief.
