Alice Munro, Diana Athill, the LIttle Mermaid and the wisdom (or not) of age.

A stunning interview, all too brief. Thanks to Harvey McQueen for pointing it out to me. I must look up Athill's Stet now - what sounds to be a marvellous book about the writers Athill (the publisher) has known and the books she has read.

Now here, a heart-breakingly beautifulinterpretation of Munro's Lives of Girls and Women. Each word is deeply perfect. The music is "comptine d'un autre été", by Yann Tiersen.
