“le mal qui est dans le monde vient presque toujours de l’ignorance”

Age of COVID: Absent from the Vaucluse – in semi-confinement near the escarpments of my native coast in California.
The writing on this site is a linked passion: a fervid interest in art, photography, and architecture, joined with a heightened sensibility of living with and among the French. I add to these enthusiasms the seductions of food, wine and le bon goût.
The title is borrowed from the French writer and poet Blaise Cendrars who reflected: “Ecrire est une vue de l’esprit. C’est un travail ingrat qui mène à la solitude.” (Writing is a view of the mind. It is an ungrateful work that leads to solitude).
Current projects: a series of short stories, “Fragments”; “Pamplone,” and “Jane;” long-form journalism, and philanthropic initiatives in art.
