#StartingOver

Memory is peculiar in the fierce hold with which it will fix the most insignificant-seeming scenes. Whole tracts of my life have fallen away like a cliff into the sea, yet I cling to seeming trivia with a pop-eyed tenacity.

- John Banville, Eclipse
born on this day, 1945

Memories and Imagination I was five when my parents separated. I have vivid memories of those days, which is why the #5YearOldSelfie challenge on social media caught my eye.

The writer #JohnBanville observed, "Memory is imagination, and #imagination is #memory. I don't think we remember the past, we imagine it." I have vivid #memories of my early #childhood (I believe they're memories, not imagination). 🤔 #writing #memoir

That Particular Intense Gaze: An Appreciation of John Banville by Yahia Lababidi The Irish writer John Banville is a novelist of ideas whose prose aspires to the condition of poetry. Whether meditating on the truths

It is a great privilege to make one’s living from #writing sentences. The sentence is the greatest invention of civilization. To sit all day long assembling these extraordinary strings of words is a marvelous thing..It’s as near to godliness as I can get.

Memories and Imagination - Tall And True Short Reads I wrote Memories and Imagination in August 2019, inspired by the hashtag #5YearOldSelfie challenge on social media.

Tall And True Short Reads, Ep 64/100: The writer #JohnBanville observed, “Memory is imagination, and imagination is memory. I don’t think we remember the past, we imagine it.” 🤔 #storytelling #podcasts #applepodcasts #spotify #youtube

"It’s a cliche, but the Irish are just in love with words. And we have to be very careful, because, you know, words are intoxicating." John Banville
