The final reissue of the Quirke series by #JohnBanville is officially out on shelves! Don't miss #EvenTheDead, where Quirke's latest case leads him inexorably toward the dark machinations of an old foe: bit.ly/45bIL6m
Thinking of reading some more #johnbanville after reading #venetianvespers. Suggestions on where to start? I don’t love short stories. #booksky

#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.

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
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.
