Where do you find it all! <br /><br />Specially like seeing Scott and Zelda's passport with their little girl Scottie. I've often wondered what became of her - she must have had such a difficult childhood with her poor talented mother institutionalised and her poor brilliant father with his drinking problems and his struggles to deal with his wife's illness. Interesting to see his height, only 5'8 1/2", short for a man by Australian standards.<br />I'm also struggling with a biography of Edith Wharton, the one by Hermione Lee. It's very interesting, scholarly and covers her relationships with quite a few people I've read biographies of, but it's slow going as there are over 750 pages of text in fine print, not counting all the end notes. I sometimes get confused amongst all the people who appear in her long life though. Is this the biography you're reading? <br />I do love biographies. When this is finished will begin the much lighter Paris Wife, the story of Hadley Hemingway. <br />When we were in Paris in June found a remaindered book of old Paris photos by Atget and a couple of his contemporaries, Fabulous and so interesting to see views of areas that we know well today and see how different they were in Atget's time.

I've ticked off a few of those in the last few weeks: I've seen the 'Eugène Atget: Old Paris' (gorgeous); I've taken photos of loved ones; I've watched a classic movie (All About Eve) and I've laughed (mainly at myself). Good stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
