The most cherished feeling a person has, not to be alone, to have another human being with whom to share the moment of being more than we are. This is a book about love. Under different guises, in oddest presentments.
Love is a most curious device that can make sickness a perfection, or can make a love song of a moment long ago into a world still palpable. It can take a child and make him glass, so transparent that his every secret is visible but being made of glass, he is there for only the reflection of others. And doesn't exist at all.
If madness is love and violence the purest projection of it, equally valid as being tangled in rainbows, then the concept of a need to rush to the center of everthing is so personal and at times inexplicable and it has its loyalties, it has a need to winnow out the rightness and look evil in the face of banalty and scatter the bones wherever they lay.
"Glancings" is me and how I live my life, "Gamin" is a pure love story with all the blue Paris morings forever caputured in romance that starts officially with "Cherbourg"and the colors of Paris in autumn that only lovers see. A call from Christmas, an unraveling of roles. A tribute to the many wonderful worlds of Ed McBain. Some horror. Some words about the most frightening thing in the world--when love says hello and these are some of its adventures.
Excerpt
"John Updike--Rabbit at Rest"
John Updike chronicled in lovingly sculptured words and sentences of graceful curves and smooth edges, the folly, the heroism, the complexity of being human. He was a mathematician of poetry who knew so intensely the very longing memories of being young and failures and successes, large or small, that makes us beings breathe; the bricks of love and fear and loss and aging that are stacked and mortared into making us who we are. He knew the world was filled with shadows and a soft amber glint that tears at the heart of us. He knew us better than we.
If math has a lyricism to it, he found it, or gave it. His words were our hearts when the day comes to settle around us and we become lost in ourselves.He took his hand and held ours and made us almost magical beings, what we were not before; he graced us with his complexity and his shy smile and his knowing songs.
