Interesting novel. I still live with the idea I missed a few points. I do not know if it was enough to make me feel the love Murdoch felt for London. I guess I have to read more of her books, with this lecture key.<br /><br />I came to notice some of the feelings I have for Bucharest while being away. And while people would start blaming this city for many/all the bad things this country has to suffer. It was obvious to me these people did not know all they had to know about Bucharest, in order to have a point. And besides all the bad parts there are also many good parts in B.<br /><br />And, after all, I think the relation between "my Bucharest" and I is a love-hate relationship.str53https://www.blogger.com/profile/03661817508985077262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177762992497597679.post-42447081344584622082010-01-26T20:03:27.773+02:002010-01-26T20:03:27.773+02:00E o scriitoare care mie-mi place mult.

O cheamă Iris Murdoch și dacă te gândești să citești ceva de ea, try the original, meaning the English, not the translations - but if you must, then choose Antoaneta Ralian as the translator. Well, one feature of Dame Iris's books is her love - even if sometimes disguised in loathing - of her city, meaning London (though she was born in Dublin). You reminded me of her with your blog entry, I envy you because I only felt very very seldom - a couple of times, not many - a positive feeling, or any feeling for that matter for Bucharest. Swearing and kicking foot on the pavement out of frustration doesn't count as "feeling". That's what animals do too, when they are upset. So send my best wishes to your Bucharest, when you two next meet.piticalbnoreply@blogger.com
