“…predilection for little fur hats.”
Describing characters in a clear and memorable way can be a challenge. Adams’ protagonist is a traveller, and the characters frequently get a succinct but satisfying description. Genghis Kahn arouses thoughts of miltary strength and brutality. Few recall a pot belly or little fur hats, and yet this works. Love the shift away from ourContinue reading ““…predilection for little fur hats.””
“…forgot about it for six years.”
As an author or creative, how do you hold on to those brilliant ideas? I used to keep a small notebook with me to jot them down. Nowadays, I tend to email or text myself–and those messages promptly get buried beneath piles of other texts and emails… I’ve been looking for some funny books ofContinue reading ““…forgot about it for six years.””

Funny, humble, and passionate about his work. We alsoContinue reading “Memoirs of a Mediocre Teacher (a review)”
