"I'm waiting for the cabana boy with my drink"
Found the same allure in this photo from #Hasundhornet from a story by NRK about a stolen sign.

Finally read @mjohnharrison's newish book. A summary:
* this probably isn't a biography.
* climbing: now there's a thing.
* not sure whether it's a good idea to outlive the cat.
* where did I put my notebook(s)?
Highly recommended to fans of all of the above.
Okay, back to K-pop and old computers.

So pleased we got to see @mjohnharrison at the Edinburgh Book Festival today. Like the best of Mike’s work, the conversation was full of insights into how life—whatever that is—bleeds into fiction—whatever that is.
I plucked up the courage to get my copies of The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again and The Course of the Heart signed by him.
Thank you, Mike! Such a pleasure to meet you and hear you talk about your work.

Edinburgh Book Festival tickets successfully secured for M. John Harrison's event, This Is Not A Memoir, on 19 August. Only 1856 people in the queue ahead of me to begin with, although not all of them *necessarily* to see Mike, more's the pity! Very much looking forward to it!

… the weight of evidence such that each of us is really no more than palimpsest, dense overlays of misrememberings and dismemberings. Perhaps it’s a book about writing, about not writing, about an escape to and from writing: I don’t really know, and don’t need to know; I just absolutely loved its brilliance.
So looking forward to seeing the author at the Edinburgh International Book Festival this coming August.
