Alice's love affair with the chalkboard. (The underlying link to Anne Trubek's article on the history of handwriting is highly worthwhile.)

I just finished reading Per Pettersen's Out Stealing Horses; the ARC has been on my shelves for years now, but for some reason I never got around to reading it. It is a spectacularly good novel! Hmmm, must get and read his other books...
I'm glad you like the Pettersen. It's also a favourite of mine. Try To Siberia.
ReplyDeleteI doubt that Herzog considered it insignificant.
ReplyDeletePer Pettersen is a wonderful find. To Siberia is good as well, but almost any of his other publications are worth following up.
