It’s where I live although lately it’s more in the world of opera where I’m composing a piece from Fernando Pessoa’s The Book Of Disquiet. Feldman wrote an opera using Beckett. I believe he’s the only composer who has set Beckett successfully. Thanks for this essay.
Amazing writer, similar to Pessoa in some ways. Walser's stories and Micro-Grammes were stunning. Also similar to Bruno Schulz. Love them all!
Hmmm, thanks Tosh, it must just be my connection, or browser or something. Cheers, D.
Donald, your page/column looks ok to me. And an interesting post!
Walser! Ha ha
I know Walker mostly though his diaries but yes, I would say I am a fan.
Thanks Donald,

Thanks Larry, I'd love to hear your operatice take on Pessoa. Are you perhaps also a fan of the exotic Robert Walser?
