and this is my first “Tumble.”
I’m getting excited about the paperback edition of In the Unlikely Event coming May 3rd. I’ll tell you stories about writing the book – of what’s real and what isn’t – and I’ll share more about the ‘50s than you ever wanted to know, including a playlist!
So tune in for images and music, all coming here soon.
"I knew that the world around you is only uninteresting if you can’t see what is really going on. The place you come from is always the most exotic place you’ll ever encounter because it is the only place where you recognise how many secrets and mysteries there are in people’s lives” ― David Malouf

"People who count their chickens before they are hatched, act very wisely, because chickens run about so absurdly that it is impossible to count them accurately." -- Oscar Wilde in Letter from Paris (May 1900)

Perfume that smells like new books! Paper Passion, a scent from Geza Schoen for Wallpaper* magazine, makes its wearers smell like freshly printed books. I suppose it can be alternated with “In the Library,” a perfume that smells like old books. Paper Passion fragrance by Geza Schoen, Gerhard Steidl, and Wallpaper* magazine, with packaging by Karl Lagerfeld and Steidl. “The smell of a freshly printed book is the best smell in the world.” Karl Lagerfeld. It comes packaged with inside a hollow carved out of a book with “texts” by “Karl Lagerfeld, Günter Grass, Geza Schoen and Tony Chambers.”

Two of the chicks (a month old now) left the hen house and explored the run today for the first time. The white chick found a slug and ate it.

“It is not the brains that matter most, but that which guides them…the character, the heart, generous qualities, progressive ideas.” ―Fyodor Dostoyevsky
“Son,” she said, and spit between her fingers, “what you’ve got in your britches is no news to me, and no concern of mine: hell, I’ve fooled around with nobody but boys since first grade. I never think like I’m a girl; you’ve got to remember that, or we can’t never be friends.” —from Truman Capote’s OTHER VOICES, OTHER ROOMS (1948). The tomboy character, Idabel Thompkins, which Capote based on friend Harper Lee, chides the main character Joel when he is embarrassed to undress in front of her. Happy Birthday to Alabama-born [Nelle] Harper Lee (1926), author of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, which features a character Dill, based on Capote.
Happy 86th birthday Harper Lee!
