PUTTING THE RAT BACK IN “LITERATE”:

I’ve been meaning for awhile now to do a series of short posts about–to pick an arbitrary number–21 writers or works that are very personal to me; the idea would be to try and encapsulate why, for each, using somewhere between 10 and 450 words. It having finally dawned on me that there’s never going to be a time when doing this is actually convenient, I’ve decided to just do it in dribs and drabs (and in no particular order).

In the first episode, we get In Search of Lost Time; Story of O; and Portrait of a Lady. (Ratty’s such a girl….)
