Max and Myriam in Paris. A young man's search for an old flame. Bull;08/03/2010 • Leave a Comment. Myriam surely has to read my telegram today. These past two mornings I’ve even tried willing her to telephone. I’ve waited in my room until past midday, convinced that the telephone was about to ring; but so far it has remained obstinately silent. When the wish is so powerful, it’s a painful experience to re-discover the childhood disappointment that the world does not conform to one’s will. Nevertheless, i...

Max and Myriam in Paris. A young man's search for an old flame. For someone accustomed to reading them in Japanese and ignorant of German, they are not printed here in the volumes at my elbow. For the blind person who reads them in Braille, they’re not printed anywhere. What if they were translated into Nicaraguan sign-language? Do they belong in a world apart? Why this fierce enthusiasm to turn authors’ work into memorial stelae, to petrify them and their creations, to make stone idols of them? I gave i...

Max and Myriam in Paris. A young man's search for an old flame. LETTER FROM MAX TO HIS BROTHER. The wall of metal slipping soundlessly by was the side of a huge box-like pantechnicon past which our bus was moving with the magisterial slowness of fateful inevitability. I understood that had I not snatched my head inside when I did, the corner of the parked vehicle would have sheared it from my shoulders with the ease, if not the precision, of a guillotine. To the construction of a new world, a new self.

Max and Myriam in Paris. A young man's search for an old flame. This is the diary of a young twenty-something studying in London in the nineteen-seventies, but then moving to Paris to find a girl he once knew. Finding out where she is involves finding out. She is; and the discovery turns his life upside down. It is published here for no other reason than that it exists and has never been seen in print. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

They looked at each other and then asked me about my reasons. They discovered that I was now unemployed and without any prospects for the foreseeable future. All that I could tell them was that I intended to travel to Paris. Mercifully, I know little more than they about what I expect to find there. Who’s this woman, then?

Max and Myriam in Paris. A young man's search for an old flame. I went to my father’s six-thirty service this evening. I had already been to the morning service and felt sufficiently at ease to go a second time. The game is beginning to pall now; but for a while, I found it uncommonly stimulating. To be cut off from these sources of life and energy seems to me to be a catastrophe of the first order, a loss of soul, a kind of terminal madness; and in the terms of my father’s religion, ‘The God of This Wor...

My parents, with their argus-eyed watchfulness, would have noticed any sign of hypocrisy; but they were reassured; and who is to say that they were deceived? By philipemorris on 10/03/2010.
