Good morning, village of talk backers. Welcome to 17 January.

| Manuele Fior, late 2011, illus. for Il mio mondo in 50 libri (My World in 50 Books) by Alessandro Baricco, published in Repubblica. |
Beautiful loose watercolors. Melancholy, lots of rain. Minimalist tale of teenage love, decisions both good and bad, sliding into middle aged resignation. You can't go home again. A lovely thing if you're more interested in mysteries than answers. It ends but is anything resolved? A good Italian movie in Fumetto. Takes place over decades in Norway and Egypt and a little town in Italy.
Currently (1/10/24) reading Beowulf translated by Maria Dahvana Headley, which after a long trip around the house has finally ended up back in my hands. Begins with "Bro! Tell me we still know how to speak of kings!"
What's up with you?
