Yes, Bill, I'm finally getting to it!
The history, yes, the weird compulsion, absolutely; but mostly I'm interested in where McCann turns it all into our larger story.

Kind of a "spring cleaning" month of various titles that have lived too long on my shelves!

Been listening to #ColumMcCann perform his novel #Twist.

And I hear in interviews that he sees it relating to #JosephConrad's #TheHeartOfDarkness.

And I find that I've somehow missed that The Heart of Darkness is set in the horror of the #BelgianCongo genocides.

So next to listen to Conrad's book.

#ColumMcCann, écrivain : « Le choix de #KamalaHarris correspond à l’envie d’un nouveau genre de héros américain »
L’auteur irlandais analyse, dans un texte reproduit par « #LeMonde », l’effet de surprise paradoxal qu’a été le surgissement de la vice-présidente des Etats-Unis dans la campagne présidentielle et l’espoir qu’elle suscite dans un camp démocrate qui paraissait dépité.
