‘Klara’s Sun’ by Kazuo Ishiguro and ‘My Trips Around the Sun’ by Ms Paige Turner Klara in Ishiguro’s ‘Klara’s Sun’ is an AF: Artificial Friend. I probably need one myself, not because I fear my own mind is yet deteriorating but because my blog is and I don’t know how to ‘fix’ it. The subscriber […]
‘The Hills of California by Jez Butterworth’
01/07/2024 // by Jan Moran Neil
‘The Hills of California by Jez Butterworth …’ at the Harold Pinter Theatre was just brilliant. I did have to buy a copy of the play to read as some of the performance was inaudible and unseeable due to high-piled hairstyles. Set in both the fifties and the seventies, it focuses on four sisters who […]

‘Voyager 2 and Jan’s Epic Voyage …’ by Ms Paige Turner Voyager 2 left the Earth over forty-six years ago, in 1977, to travel to our distant ice planets 12.7 billion miles from Earth and collect scientific data.

07/04/2024 // by Jan Moran Neil
‘Undelivered Mail …’ by Ms Paige Turner To my horror, I have just discovered that my emails are going into most people’s Junk Mail. This is easily remedied if one has a small mailing list but I have 700 writers on mine: 700 people who have physically (how else could they do this?) given me […]
