The second page in my new Watercolour Sketchbook -- the first boasts my hand-drawn (and hence, more suggestive than accurate ;-) of Sicily. . . We're planning a family meet-up week there next spring, and I hope to fill my sketchbook with landscapes and paintings of meals and sketches of architecutre. For now, though, I'm reading in preparation. These essays by Carlo Levi were written mid-20th-century, and they offer a wonderfully descriptive and trenchantly observant context. (As always, if you'd like help reading my writing, leave me a note in the comments below.
Next post, I'll return to more recent reading -- I can't believe I'm almost caught up with that. For now, I'm off to read ferociously the two books that have to go back to the library next week. And then I have to think about what to read on a long flight. . . Decisions, decisions. . .
Your suggestions always very welcome. Books set in Sicily, especially. . .
