The hand continues to heal, and normal typing may soon be possible. Back to work on Monday.
In other news, I’ve taken up Mystery and Manners, a collection of odd bits of prose by the late Flannery O’Connor. I had read her novel, The Violent Bear It Away, years ago, but either forgot her gift for writing a simple sentence that affects all out of scale, or she does not employ that talent in her fiction. I am fascinated, whatever might be the case.
If my readers decide my prose has improved, credit Miss O’Connor and not myself. If no improvement is discernible, credit my chronically disordered mind.
