As you know, I am a Frey’d knot at this point but Kenneth Harvey sent me a link to his funny piece The facts. Don’t give me the facts and it made me smile so I am sharing:
AFTER READING JOHN BANVILLE’S Man Booker prize-winning The Sea, a slim volume trumpeted as fiction, I was startled to discover, upon perusing my hefty atlas, that this supposedly fantastical place named Ireland was an actual island. While reading, I thought it sounded familiar, yet I let it slide, not wanting niggling particulars to ruin the experience.
