“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.”

EXMESS GIFTS: LIGHT RED BY GEORGE


trojanpencil@gmail.com is George, above ... lighting a blurry one from my tasting notes of 26th May 2001, below: lazy susan at T-Chow ... I'm certainly no George, but often a sketch is a better reminder to me than fucking page after page of descriptive notes ... like rose A at the cricket? I'll let that go straight through to George ...
