I always love your messages, but am always so behind! So I expect you never see my comments, but this was really interesting...as always. Thank you dear Patti for your knowledge and wise words 😌
just catching up with this post, a place of respite in the midst of chaos. I did see the exhibition at Kurimanzutto and so loved it. Immersive and intimate at the same time, beautiful images and sounds everywhere. Very glad I got over there before it closed. Peace to all ✌
Hi Patti. What a wonderful message from you herein. I found the little Genet book What Remains of Rembrandt. Its available online at the WordPress site @ memoires of the blind. Files .wordpress - and anyone interested can save a copy or print directly from the site. :))))) Its a treasure. Thank you.
I like listening to Patti talk about her adventures and all the books she reads back to back. I'm just so impressed with how much she accomplishes. ❤️🌹
thinkjng a lot about Woman in the Dunes lately - Teshigahara’s film rather than the book … found it interesting when you talked about Death in Venice - film vs challenge of language in Thamas Mann’s book - felt an affinity to your reaction there too… perhaps time to take a look at Kobo Abe’s Suna no Onna (Sand Woman) if I can locate a copy…. Love hearing you speak often of happiness despite atmosphere of cruelty we also endure and abhor - savor these messages you share with us - take best of care in travels - light with you and much love XX
Last night I accidentally told someone that Woman in the Dunes was by Kenzaburo Oe, and then I came home and remembered in horror that Kobo Abe was the author. Yikes.
Venice! The city is a poem inside a dream. I visited in December. My third trip! So enchanting. Please visit The Fortuny Museum if you have not been. Such a joy to walk through and witness the varied creativity of Mariano Fortuny. You feel whisked back in time walking through the preserved studio as if Fortuny himself had just stepped away leaving behind sketches, photographs, lighting set ups, textiles and fashion designs as well as a full library. Hauntingly beautiful! I would have loved to hear you in Piazza San Marco below the Horses of St. Mark Basillica: Horses of the Hippodrome of Constntinople!
Love the serendipitous connections and being cool with your sister, for 70 years. A great pause. Yes we only have you here! We love that. So many other places to discuss politics and the world. We have you! And our hearts. And our precious lives…
Hi Patti, dig Jacket, you look Cool in it as always ;o)
Thanks for these little visits & "chats" I quite enjoy them.
The book is quite interesting but as you probably know its easy to find but way expensive
even from abe's. Different topic altogether, I was lucky enough to find a literally brand new copy of Sam's book Motel Chronicles on ebay at a great price.

I would definitely love to get her advice on writing memoirs.

Love the jacket.
You are becoming one of my safe places. These messages are so immediate and present I can practically touch you. A 1000 thanks.
Your calm words and voice are almost meditative to me. Thank you.

Much needed respite indeed! Patti, you took the words right out of my mouth and put a smile on my face. Thank you!

Hello Patti, thanks for recent missive, i love all the correspondences, affinities and wanderings.
That is an amazing photo of you standing outside of Jacks in Paris. I really enjoy watching these little video visits that you're doing. Thank You.
Was it the Palace of Doge where they disembodied that guy from his intestines?
