John Banville special
As I was out of London on Friday I missed the opportunity to add five things. But over the weekend I began reading John Banville's "The Book of Evidence" and so can now present the following pieces of learning from the first 70 pages....
Villous: Hairy
Accidie: Torpor
Canted: At an oblique angle
Chiaroscuro: The use of strong contrasts between light and dark in art
Euphorion: The son of Achilles and Helen
