John McGahern

Excerpt from John McGahern's new Memoir

My own experience of Ireland is embodied in this paragraph --

I am sure it is from those days that I take the belief that the best of life is life lived quietly, where nothing happens but our calm journey through the day, where change is imperceptible and the precious life is everything.

One of my heroes

How lovely to come, all accidentally, across this portrait of one of my longtime heroes, Helen Suzman.  A truly beautiful lady.

What a great tribute

I don't usually do this, but I am so taken with the tribute site for Bruce I. Miller, that I think I should make reference to it here and thus make it available to anyone who might peruse these pages.
