LITERARY FEASTS!

This is amazing….

A friend of this page named Tracey shared this with me, and I had to pass it along: images from a new book called "Fictitious Dishes", in which the designer Dinah Fried recreates famous meals from great works of literature. (Holden Caulfield's grilled cheese sandwich and malted milk are pictured here.)

Hanneke de Groot lives!

A friend of this page made this and shared it with me the other day. It's a quote from my novel THE SIGNATURE OF ALL THINGS, where Hanneke the housekeeper gives our heroine Alma the goods on how to endure the suffering and sorrows of life.

Oh, how I loved writing Hanneke de Groot, in all her pragmatic, solid glory!

Grind your cares under your bootheels, my friends, and soldier on.

Rest in peace, Gabriel Garcia Márquez.

I was so saddened to wake this morning to this news. There are writers whom you discover at the most important junctions of your life, who shape and illustrate your imagination just when you most needed nourishment, and for me — in my hungry teens and early twenties — Garcia Márquez was just such a figure.

He's with the immortals now. Or maybe always was.
