    Ford Madox Ford. Assumed that was just a fictitious character in J.M. Coetzee(youth?). Good to get a summary. Lots of roaming around in Trocadéro in my youth -- mostly because my apt there was quite small, only way to breathe seemed to be outside. Brings back memories. Coffee in Paris was expensive! Actually after a week of writing previous sentences, I find on the internet about J.M. Coetzee: "He worked for several years as a computer programmer while he researched his thesis on the novelist Ford Madox Ford"

    Bill, I’m going to forgive the Sandler slip up. Obviously you lean into light hearted films at the avoidance of more complex cinema - Innarritu’s Biutiful ? Or The stoic brilliance of Blade Runner 2047. But alas it’s good to have clever comedic drama at one’s finger tips to open the proverbial drapes from time to time. As for books,do you shy away from the hard edge of novels like Blood Meridian ?
