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.
