Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) made detective fiction into a literary form.

He worked hard on his throwaway remarks, keeping lists of sharp comparisons, similes and gags.

Summer!

A good 3 A.M. poem, the waste of particulars, a life of unrelatable episodes, but the radical other addressed so resolutely and ingeniousby Meister Eckhart is out there in the mix; we keep stumbling on the various truths of experience that keep us from broken sleep.

As an ardent rugby lover, I don’t normally go in for the spherical ball stuff — but the Fifa Women’s World Cup this thoroughly entertaining! Good luck England — shame you‘re not playing Japan (it’s easier to see stuff over here when a Japanese team is performing well).
