Ever since I read Strange Loop in Picador New Writing in 1993 I’ve kept half an eye out for your magnum opus, or any opus at all really, but somehow, ridiculously, I missed all the plays. I’ve never forgotten that perfectly conceived and sublimely executed piece of writing. This guy has mastered the denouement, I thought at the time, somewhat jealously, he’s completely nailed it. It may even have fucked me up for a time - striving towards some similarly velvet resolution in my own work and falling well short of the mark. I wonder how many flawless denouements you’ve had since? Or maybe there’s only one denouement royale in a lifetime. There's certainly only one in a life.
Anyway, I’m loving your blog, thanks. I’m inspired by the way you can imbue any thing, any experience with deep significance.
