I&#8217;m spending a couple of days with Catherine Butler, who is the most wonderful person. We will talk literature: she&#8217;s both an academic and a fiction writer and knows enormous amounts of fascinating stuff. My first encounter with her was when she answered questions for my book <em>History and Fiction<\/em>.\u00a0 That&#8217;s today, at your end. At my end I&#8217;m still in Canberra!<\/p>\n<p>Between Bristol and Canberra, came Reading. I will have met several friends, and also some new people with overlapping research interests. With luck, I will have seen The Importance of Being Earnest, acted in a place where Oscar Wilde&#8217;s prison is visible&#8230; and it will be work-related. That place is a ruined abbey. I&#8217;ll be in Reading mostly to create a photographic essay about how the town depicts its Middle Ages. Photographs. Lots of them. I&#8217;m happy to share a couple with you when i return, but only if you&#8217;re interested.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know about any of the places I go to or want to know more about the writers and science fiction folks I see along the way, let me know on each of these posts.\u00a0 Comment madly. Tell me what you know and love. tell me what you&#8217;d like to know more about. When I return I&#8217;ll read all your comments. If you tell me what you&#8217;re interested in, I&#8217;ll report on those parts of my journey when I get back. A series of posts to match a series of posts! If everyone is silent, then what I write about on my return will be a complete surprise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By the time you read this, I will be in Bristol.
