Today's Finds

Well, it actually turned to be a fine mostly sunny day. I popped over to Canterbury for a visit. I wanted to check out some charity shops to see if I could get any bargains. I found these today -




And this CD - well I just had to get it -

Book 96 - Joseph Heller "Portrait Of An Artist As An Old Man"

Joseph Heller "Portrait Of An Artist As An Old Man" (Simon & Schuster)







This paperback found at one of my forays around the bookcases of Penge East rail station is a poignant and fascinating foray into the mind of an artist as he examines his life, seeking a source of inspiration for his last book. Imagine an author -- primarily a novelist -- who has become a legend...no, more than that -- an icon! In his own lifetime, all because of the first novel he wrote, many years before. Imagine that the novelist -- his name here is Eugene Pota -- realizes that the days are dwindling and he needs to come up with one more novel. But what should he write about? Well, that basically, is the crux of this novel.

There's a kind of futility to his search for a subject, of course, because, like so many noted novelists before him, all of Pota's output since that first landmark novel has been scrutinized and dissected and poked at or in Jacques Derrida's terms, deconstructed. And so, this final novel is really an examination of his life before his demise. It is a great reasonably quick read, yet melancholic.

Recommend it? Definitely.

Whoops!
