books and music

These are a few random drawings from the last few days.

Frank Cottrell Boyce sounds like one of the happiest screenwriters I have ever come across. He wrote the wonderful Grow Your Own, and many other films (the very wonderful 24 Hour Party People, anyone?).


The NYRB review of a new collection of Hugo Von Hoffmansthal's writing led me to the T. S. Eliot quote yesterday. I love his image of a beetle swimming 'from shore to shore' across a jug.









Emiliana Torrini's most recent album (all her album's actually) is a delight.
