I’m browsing your archive Matt and this is so lovely. I’m reminded of the marmalade toast and cup of milky tea a kind nurse handed me immediately after the birth of my daughter. I doubt I will ever enjoy a plate of food that much again.
This is very beautiful writing, dear Matt. Words to luxuriate in. Details abound. Gently expressed but providing the spark for further enquiry. The walk through Umberto Eco's library is astonishing and I love the descriptions of the books we all acquire. Very lovely to lose oneself in this quality of writing, particularly knowing that you ration us to monthly morsels and so the exquisite wait for the next serving of your musings is as tantalising as the words themselves. Bravo. So glad you are writing. B

Beautiful and evocative writing Matt.
Have you seen Moses in Rome Matt? It’s a colossal work
Thank you for a fascinating read, and for the kind words. And that's a big knuckle tap to our mutual football love
