A fearless faith in fiction — Employing, since 2008, a Kantian or Jungian sensibility and an ‘intentional fallacy’ consciousness — Various passions of the reading moment — Walter de la Mare, ELizabeth BOWen, ROBERT aiCKMAN and many others old and new — Please click my name below for this site’s navigation and my backstory as intermittent photographer, writer, editor, publisher & reviewer.
“I will build you the tallest scaffolding reaching up ten, twenty, thirty metres high above the roof of your house,…”
This is a brilliant incantatory refrain of an increasingly hellish HELLO, each with its own ‘house calls’ with wordages big and small, a refrain in serendipitously mutual synergy with a publication that turned up in the same post and left safely without undue contact with whoever delivered it (a publication just reviewed HERE).
Chilling calls that make you and your house seem more and more unsafe, except ironically for one which is designed, inadvertently I presume, to suit the very lockdown that this refrain makes necessary! The one that is a call from a delivery driver that reminds me of what happens at my house every day. Now, insidiously so!
One of those horror stories that will stay with you.
