freedomphoria: February 2014
http://freedomphoria.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
A locupletative personal blog. Thursday, February 27, 2014. About (not) going back home. I have been travelling a lot these past two years, it almost feels like I'm making up the time when I'm not travelling. My decision to change the way I work, from a full-timer to a freelancer, really helps in terms of being super flexible and just not getting depressed with different demands from your employer. So, wish me luck. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. The Itty Bitty Kitty Committee.

Bloggerel - Alma Books and Alma Classics: July 2012

Monday, 2 July 2012. Launch of new novel InterRail. Giving a speech at the Calder Bookshop and Theatre. Many people braved the sultry London afternoon and came to the Calder Bookshop Wednesday evening, preferring our company and a glass of wine to the footballing feats of Ronaldo, Iniesta and Fabregas. The even was the launch of my new novel, InterRail. And Jim Keeble’s The Happy Numbers of Julius Miles. Recently reviewed in the Guardian. And to encourage more people to embrace InterRailing, we are offer...

Pygmies and Peanut Butter: May 2011
http://pygmiesandpb.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Pygmies and Peanut Butter. Reading begets reading begets reading. Readers beget readers too, I think. Tuesday, May 3, 2011. Bloglette: Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris. Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary. 2010, Little, Brown and Company. So it was with delight, then, that I turned to Sedaris's first. Work of published fiction in over fifteen years, Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk. Share is the very kernel of what makes Sedaris so lovable: his seemingly endless supply of hilarity. Does: introduces...

About Pechorin’s Journal. Dude, where’s my theme? Some recommendations for Central European fiction →. 10 August, 2010 · 2:39 pm. Nobody would feed those judged certain to die. Shipwrecks, by Akira Yoshimura. Last year I read Akira Yoshimura’s novel One Man’s Justice. It was an impressive work in a fine translation by Mark Ealey. I was left wanting to read more.

freedomphoria: September 2014
http://freedomphoria.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
A locupletative personal blog. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. The state of this country. I woke up when my phone made a noise. It stopped me from dreaming (hence, I can't even remember the dream). I saw a notification: new headlines from one of the English-language newspaper in the country. News about how the House is planning to revise the Law for the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). And I thought, WTF? Not a very pleasant way to wake up. Can someone with more knowledge in this matter point to the...

freedomphoria: March 2015
http://freedomphoria.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
A locupletative personal blog. Friday, March 13, 2015. I read the news last night just before I went to bed. I immediately felt a part of what constructed my joy had gone away. I actually felt sad, and I am still sad by the news. It's strange to feel some kind of connection with someone whom I've never met and whom didn't even know that I exist in this world, connected through enjoying his works over the years.

Kazuo Ishiguro — Nocturnes. May 22, 2009 at 11:19 am. Kazuo Ishiguro is a proper writer: a book every four or five years, and, when they come along, they. His seven books, spanning thirty years, are the milestones of a lifelong meditation on longing, nostalgia, regret, emptiness, and how on earth to cope with it all. His new book,. Like the nocturnes of Chopin, Fauré. From which the title derives, these are mood pieces, Romantic and pensive, evoking thoughts of finality and transience, of the passing of ...
