Yesterday was mostly spent helping with the laundry and starting the daunting package of mail around after three weeks of travelling, but I did manage to squeeze some of the tv I missed in, to wit, one Doctor Who episode. I still don't dare reading my flist for fear of being spoiled until I've caught up, but here is a link I got from reading online newspapers:
Claire Tomalin about Charles Dickens and writing biographies, a very interesting interview, especially if like me you're intrigued by what biographers choose to focus on and what not, and how they relate to their subjects. It's also intriguing in terms of Tomalin as a female writer - she has some sharp things to say about Peter Ackyroyd and his treatment of the women in Dickens' life. And in terms of "it's a small world" - I didn't know Tomalin is married to another writer I much appreciate, Michael Frayn.
Now, on to reviewing DW again, several weeks after broadcast.
