Happy Father's Day



They come in all types
outrageous, timid, and brave,
our loving dads.

They do, don't they? Or should I say, we do, don't we? :-)

Greetings from London.

Thank you, Cuban. From all I've read, you sound like a marvelous father.

They do (as you said) and we dp (as Cuban said). Mine, long gone now, was a writer and I still here his advice.

Malcolm,

It is an interesting influence to consider, not just for its content but also for its longevity. My father was a writer too and I always thought we had little in common (he was a minister after all) but it turns out that his was a lasting influence since I have turned into a writer too. Different, to be sure, but still a writer.

Thanks for your thoughts on Conrad. And I'm glad to see that we share the same view about 'Heart of Darkness'. I don't like Conrad. I read 'Heart of Darknes' twice, the second time to see if I 'got' it but no. His style is the opposite of what I expect of a novel. But the fact he was Polish and wrote in a different lexicon is inspiring to an immigrant like who's still trying to crack this language we insist on calling English and which I call The Hybrid. :-)

Greetings from london.

Yes, Cuban, Conrad's ability to make that transition at such a high level of skill is truly remarkable.
