What is Thornburg's situation? A few months back somebody
mentioned health problems, if I recall correctly.
Why has a writer this good not received more acclaim? Would
it be possible to have him as a guest? My interest in him has
definitely grown with this last read.
************ Thanks for the recommendation on Lion at the
Door, Mario. I thought the dialogue in Cutter and Bone was as
good as any I've ever read. I've read quite a few writers who
were wonderful at description, but few can match Thornburg's
sharp, biting wit.
Had a great time down in Tijuana today. Great place. I've
been working hard on my Spanish, but it was hard to
understand them when they spoke quickly. Most of the time I
could catch enough to get the jist, and I could ask the
little children questions when I was buying gum from them.
Ate dinner at Tijuana Tilly's. Knowing a little Spanish made
it a bunch better.
