I’ve always wanted to use the word littoral literally, and in the chapter I’m revising today I just did. We all have to get our pleasures when we can, especially in these terrible times, eh? 🗃️✍🏻

I just *found* the one friend of #OliverSacks from his school days whom no one has ever interviewed bc “he just disappeared”—and he emailed me immediately, offered to transcribe or scan the letters he has from Sacks (that are not in Sacks’ archive) & is willing to Zoom w/me. PS he’s 90 years old! 🗃️✍🏻

🙏🏻Thanks for putting together my book with Vermeer & the Delft School, which is not only fantastic on its own but was an important source for me while writing Eye of the Beholder!!!

Ghosts & goblins, we are ready for you! Can’t open the door & breathe your maskless air, sadly, but you’ll be happy with all the spooooky stuff in your bags!
