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.
