When people speak about their identity, some include a dry sense of humour. Me? An art school dropout and a Harvard grad, I have a damp sense of death. (I live in a rainforest.)
As we baby-boomers round the final corner and realize we’re not immortal, we are figuring out how we’re going to ‘do’ old age. I’m writing different stories, alternate approaches to going out.
No longer satisfied by ‘coming of age’ stories and nowhere near dead, I seek ‘second coming of age’ books that reflect concerns about my life – aging and death. I crave darkly comic fairy tales of our time. I read and write stories to quench this need.
Hi,
I was talking to Nicole Clarke-Johnson and see told me that she had gone for a hike with a Vancouver canuck. I reside in Smithers, B.C. and live in Nevis, and make documentaries in the former and recover at the latter. Try “Mollybon” on google search.
Anyway, I wish I were there.
