Today is a great day in the Exhibition series -2 hosted for mom and wife - focusing on the specific authors who extended our understanding in nature writing, in art, in literature, and in eccentric writing.
There are most of the works of Le Clezio, the French Nobel Laureate - my fav being " the interrogation" where a wandering Adam Polo follows people, dogs, and objects around the city as a wandering nomad. And all the English translations of Tomas Espedal, particularly the autobiographical "tramp". There are nature diaries of Philippe jaccottet (Seedtime). And works of Max Frisch, philosophies of Francois Jullien, and literature essays of Guy Davenport, and fiction of Urs Widmer..
Amma visited once as the table of books lies between kitchen and sofa, on the transit. She made coconut sambar today, and made a brief stop. Sushma read the titles and seemed interested in one or two. Not much interest feigned by both.
I enticed the offer by offering them the books free if they want it - a first for any exhibition..hmm. no luck yet. I may fold the exhibition by tomorrow morning if public ( er.. Amma and wife) disappoint me tomorrow too.
Or may be up with exhibition 3 focussing on hills and jungles...hmm..that may work..
