Northampton in 1982. In a mental hospital with Lucia Joyce, daughter of James Joyce, on the last day of her life. Her inner voice uses the multi-layered linguistic style of her father's Finnegan's Wake, every phrase has double and triple and deeper meanings. Reading it is like exploring ever deeper into a labyrinth.

Just one chapter of a book by Alan Moore, only 40 pages, but I've been lost in Lucia since the start of covid. Perhaps when I emerge from the maze I will blink in the sunlight and find that the virus was no more than a waking dream...

Fascinating read. Informative and simultaneously repulsive.

"14th century England in my way to Canterbury... Still

. I might give up soon and read the short version "

I'm somewhere between London and Canterbury too. Currently in the middle of a diversion through Tartary. No wonder it took them so long to get there.

But book? Singular? Because I'm in a few other places as well. I've just left 17th century London on my way to the 18th century. And also in Alexandria.

I'm in Oxford, sat in the Bodleian Library in a dusty alcove. It's perfect.

Reading the chapter on "taste". Good or bad taste in art. How taste and perception is cyclical and how generations see art and how fashion drives it.

Oooops, you mean geo wise.

Sorry, ...... in England being persuaded convincingly by a famous middle class person who could have gone to art college but chose media/journalism. However, the artists mentioned are English & from other countries too! Doh!
