handworn was still in the game so I can ask him about rugs,* to discover that he has been posting extremely fine quotes almost every day for awhile, among them this from Evelyn Waugh:
"Anyone could write a novel given six weeks, pen, paper and no telephone or wife."
Clearly, Mr. Waugh meant to type "and the internet" but got distracted.
Suggest you head on over tohandworn, then, and don't miss the brilliant obituary apparently written by a lamentably lost friend of his herself. It is long and hilarious and bittersweet. A sample:
"She then moved to New York City and pretended to pursue a career in theater. When it became apparent that she was too lazy for a theatre career, she turned her attention to other opportunities . . . . During those years, Miss McGarr's personal life was more interesting than her professional life. She visited her family in Alabama frequently, but good taste prevented her from disclosing most of what was going on...
"Quitting was an activity she had come to love and would enjoy for the rest of her life."
Today we meet with my agent to discuss more audiobooks. Tomorrow we take my old Klezmer Nutcracker director & her teenage foster daughter & friend to the Big Apple Circus. Yesterday we took my Israeli publisher to see Porgy & Bess (whichdeliasherman has either just reviewed or is about to), starting with dinner w/a young Israeli writer living in NYC whom I wanted him to meet - and they had plenty of time to chat while I was still at home desperately trying to find my wallet, which in a fit of cleanup I somehow left on Delia's desk (that's a new one!) - and then took his 80-yr-old traveling fool of a mother & his sister for drinks at B'way hangout Joe Allen's, to see the Wall of Shame (posters of shows that flopped big) - and the day before that we saw 2 movies & found a Chinese restaurant on E. B'way that was not already full or hosting a wedding party . . . .
On Saturday, we fly to Florida. Never have I looked forward to tedium, family & sunshine with more enthusiasm. Meanwhile, if I owe you a contract or a bio or a proofread or a interview (*coffcoff* BrittMandeloErinUnderwoodNancyHoldringJoSelleVanderhooft *coffcoff*) I swear it will be done!!!! And if I owe you a holiday card . . . Well, we're working on it. Truly.
*Rugs: A few years ago when I was whinging about it all - these being the very rugs we ended up putting in storage that we just disovered got all chewed by moths (see my previous post) - he turned out to have a vast knowledge of antique ruggery, and wrote me some useful and informative comments which I fear I'll never find again.
Also, many thanks to all for the moth advice, particularly the generousengarian .

Date: 2011-12-27 06:50 pm (UTC)I don't know what I said before, or what your rug person has in mind, but there's an amazing place kind of like 10,000 Villages, but much larger and including antiques, down here in Philadelphia called Material Culture (http://www.materialculture.com). It came to mind because their carpet brochure said that they ship the things to Turkey (I think it was), get them repaired or restored by serious carpet professionals for much less than American ones would ask, and then ship them back. You and Delia would probably enjoy browsing around their galleries, either way, next time you're down here.
Full disclosure, though-- I've never used their carpet services, myself. I just noted the resource in case I should someday need to.
