As in "The Last of the Mohicans", or in "Mao's Last Dancer", which is a beautiful movie my daughter and I watched earlier this month. The last chapter :)
And an update.---My Workshop met last evening, and for that reason I had to finally get my fifth poem written. Now I need at least five more poems in the next five weeks :( I think I might do a new first draft every day for the next week or so, and then spend a month revising ... mal sehen.
But now to finish this book:
_____________________________
6:08 p.m. No language reset needed today, because, having spent the last 24 hours or so working on an English poem, I'm thinking in English already.
6:09 p.m. Okay, so it's November, so this chapter should be flashback.
6:11 p.m. Holmes "... would never permit cases to overlap." I have had that experience when writing---I don't manage to work on multiple poems at the same time---but not while reading. I read best when I'm in the middle of approx. four books, preferably in four different languages.
6:14 p.m. Holmes says: "... I cannot guarantee that I carry all the facts in my mind." You mean like an unreliable narrator? ;)
6:24 p.m. Holmes says: "... I am inclined to think that Stapleton's career of crime has been by no means limited to this single Baskerville affair." Maybe Conan Doyle was indeed considering a new supervillain when he wrote this in 1902.
6:33 p.m. Done :) More later!
