hello there bananafish people,

just subscribed. again. used to about two or three years 
ago and then lost access to this non-existent infinite 
thing we call internet. happily just recovered it and 
looking forward to salinger chit and chat and merry 
intellectual exchange.

brief bio, in case of interest: 23, doing masters involving 
reading of various books of theology that occasionally 
makes me smile at the joy of it and occasionally makes my 
teeth hurt at the pain of it (oh, those crazy orthodox 
theologians and their paradoxes of faith). lossky, simone 
weil, lots of saints called gregory. also film element. 
bresson. religion, form, all good, clean fun. on to that 
old refrain: my favourite book by our man is franny and 
zooey. that book has pulled me through many a difficult 
time and i have held onto it on various occasions like a 
piece of ornately carved driftwood that you may find 
yourself marvelling at the artistry of while keeping one 
eye out for a nearby rescue boat (excuse my obscurity). i 
live in canterbury, in england, down the road from the 
archbishop. unlike franny, i like my martinis extremely 
dry. i'll let you off from knowing my favourite colour.

so, this is a hello with a friendly smile from the corner 
of a room while i patiently tap my glass, survey the foie 
gras and look forward to the main course. i do go on.

cheerio,

craig king

p.s: blue.
