My reasoning in launching this blog last week was simply that there was no time like the present, no excuse for delay. But it does
take time to figure out new patterns of reading and writing to deal with all the news and ideas I want to track and share here.
In the meantime, if you're here because of an interest in world literature then you should certainly know about two things that happened today:
In Stockholm, Herta Müller has just delivered
her Nobel lecture.
In
San Francisco cyberspace,
a new issue of The Quarterly Conversation has just been posted.

What a strong, warm, beautiful, wonderful statement about a harsh and tormented life.
I did not know of this woman, this writer, but now, after reading -- actually, being brought to startled and amazed attention by -- her Nobel speech, I shall, as soon as I can arrange it, begin to try know her through her writings.
I hope they are in plentiful, available, and impeccable translation...
