I celebrated #Hoban100 by graduating (again) from Trinity College Dublin.
It’s never too late to learn.

A view of Putney Bridge in the distance across the banks of the River Thames, the tide well out with a few pigeons on the sand and pebbly stones and low-tide mud in the foreground. Near the viewer a sheet of yellow A4 paper has been taped on a brick pillar by some steps. On the paper is handwritten in a Celtic style font in blue ink “It is the longing for what cannot be that moves the world from night to morning".
Malachy O'Neill shared this photo of Putney Bridge taken on 4/2/25 as part of a visit to various Russell Hoban spots in London. The yellow paper reads: "It is the longing for what cannot be that moves the world from night to morning" - quoted from The Second Mrs Kong #Hoban100

I look forward to celebrating Russell Hoban’s centenary all 2025 but the day itself has snuck up on me. If you’re yet to discover his wry, melancholy, surreal, philosophical and magic work, try this reading of (maybe) my favourite book of his #Hoban100
