I don't want ever
to be young again
I only want to be alive
...
Rare is the book
that reads like
a personal letter
to the reader
BUT
Orwell does this
masterfully
without sounding
anything
like his two
novels

The narrator of COMING UP FOR AIR has a new set
ReplyDeleteof false teeth and a false set of hopes
BUT he also has some magnificent things
to say about the Gender Gap and how
having children is an adhesive allowing
the irreconcilable differences
between husband and wife
to be tolerated
-Oliverio
