reading fudge



Reading this novel is like eating fudge. It is so rich and delicious I can only get through a chapter or two at a time. Then I have to rest, reflect, digest, take a big shot of insulin and start in again. It is a devastating disquisition on French classism, among other things.

I am writing this while listening to Richard Strauss's Elektra from the Met. Coming through loud and clear this week. Next week's treat, Hansel and Gretel.
